"I have ii.id trouble with
an Inactive liver," wrote Mrs.
S. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer
St., Houston, Texas. "When
I would get constipated, I would
ftel a light, diz/.y feeling in my
head. To-get up in the morning'
with a lightness in the head and
a trembly feeling is often a sign
that the stomach is out of order.
For this 1 took Thtdford't
Black* Draught, and without a
doubt can say 1 have never,
found its equal in any liver
medicine. It not only cleans
the liver, but leaves you in such
a good condition. - 1 have used
it a long time, when food does
not seem to set Well, or the
stomach is a little sour."

Clad To Qti Hark,
? Cious Anchor, June 8i.~!~,,Thank
; ;<><!, I IVel sa to now; I'm homo once
.more, and I'm going to stay," and A 1 f
P.riggs, colored, said it like ho meant
. .its word of it, as he strolled Intel
the store of I,. H. Wilson and Com
pany Here today. Alt' has just return
ed from a stay of seven months in the
smoky city of Pittsburgh, whore he
drew $1,02 per day for every day he
worked \"?d y?t he came toaek here
where hi' was born and raised, bring
ing his wife and children back with
him. No more going north for Alf ,
who grew up on one of "Lawse" Wil
hou\s fauns around here. In round
numbers tivo dollars a> day for a col
ored man's /work and steady work
sounds pretty .good. Alf didn't get
(Vied; ho just got tired.
Ho told a very interesting story
about darkies going north, throwing
in there and here some vivid touches
of his personal experiences that some
of these labor propagandists that are
roitig about in this section, painting
ip the northern cities to the colored
icople as a land Mowing with milk
tnd honey, ought to hear.
Alf and his wife and two, children
left last winter for Pittsburgh, where
ho was employed to Are the boiler in
a big brick manufacturing plant.
About the same time some eighteen
or twenty other colored people left
this section for the same city. Alf, it
seems, got the best paying job of any
of them. He secured a room? just
one room for himself and family to
live in, which had lights and partial
heat furnished, for which he paid five
dollars per week. This lodging was
considerable distance from the brick
factory and it cost him exactly $4.12
per week to come and go on street
oars. Foodstuffs, Alf says, are high
in Pittsburgh, he said today he has
seen one tomato sell for 25 eenti.
Doctors charge $.'? per visit, according
to Alf, and if you are taken to the
hospital sick the charge is $3 per da>v
No 'chance. Is taken as to collecting
the ^fegievg-~it comes out of the
wages.
John Mollis, colored man * ;from
Cross Anchor who went, to Pittsburgh
:ii>out the same time Alf did, took
pneumonia and died. His Cross Ah
chor folks were notified, as well as
? ?is fi iends in Pittsburgh and told if
? 7. was not forthcoming promptly to
<it' frti y the expense of shipping his
l?ody to his old home in the South,
: lie body would Ik* cremated. There
was a - quick rally among the Cross
Anchor darkies in Pittsburgh, and the
money was made up. They did not
take kindly to the idea of Cremation*
Alf says many of the darkies who
went up there last winter have died
of pneumonia. "They kin all go up
there that wants to now," said Alf fi
nally, "but leave me out for good ?
I've been."

"NOBLE RED MAN"
Indian of tho Frontier a? He
Really Was.
Found. Higheut Enjoyment In th# In*
flktion pf Suffering, and Not
B.*ayt in Battle.,
During the period of tho Spanish
rink In our West ? It became, actually,
uq Indian risk -Indians killed nearly
three hundred wldte men, wome/i and
children, and wasted, burned and de
stroyed a mil I Ion. dollars In properties.
They were, tnore than anything else*
destructive ; they * l^ved excitement;
and what they preferred above all was
running off the live stock of a cara
van; then they could get some fresh
meat and horses und till the remaining
horses and cattle wltk arrows, shoot
them at point-blank range with old
Arelock fusee.
The Jlcarlllaa were drunken pottery
turnen ; the Utes were the beat armed
of all the local tribes, they were au'?
perlor In war ahd hunting. Hut their
war making wan peculiar, and highly
reasonable, In that they Insisted on
every circumstance favorable to them
selves. Falling this they wouldn't
tight 1 For attack they preferred the
passage of the late moon;, ant} it was
their pleasure to happen on some de
tached woodchoppors, a lonely mes
senger or a small party of wagons in
a narrow canyon,
' Occasions like those gave their
sense of humor and ingenuity full
play ; If they were In a hurry the mur
dering would be swift, the scalps se
cured without ceremony; but when the
situation whs safe they lingered over
preliminaries and refinements. It was
their ambition to lay bare terror and
uncover pain, and their inventive fac
ulties were endless; there would be
more premonitory touches of steel and
flame, little whisperings of torment,
the feathery edge of agony, an eter
nlty of hours before the blackened
end.
The Indian regarded this as nor
mal, an end to be avoided, of course,
but faced with the Inevitable, they ac
| cepted It In the Image of men of stone.
rThe (objections, the tenderness of the
white race, seemed, to them wholly un
reasonable; the cries and expostula
tions they must have regarded as no
less comic than contemptible.
? Vanity both In conduct and appear
ance was the mark of a proper mascu
line carriage; the uieu rather tJian the
women' painted ; they eradicated every
hair from their beards and eyelashes
and eyebrows, and, slitting their ears
to hold pendants, hnng beads to the
weight of half a pound from each. For
fhe rest, they wore breech clouts, moc
casins and legglns of stroudlng, and a
rug; they wove their hair with gum
and paint, trinkets and feathers; and.
at war, coated their faces with char
coal.
The bows they carried were three
and four feet Ion#, made of elastic
wood, elks' horns, or, more Infre
quently, of huflfalo rlhs, but bone was
Inferior to the bols d'are wrapped and
lined with sinew. They carried, as
well, lances, the Inevitable scalping
knives ? In the Southwest there were
no tomahawks ? and shields of elk
hide painted with the signs of the ene
mies they had killed.
At peace In their villages the
shields, and sheafs of plpestems
wrapped In red and blue cloths, were
hung on tripods- before the lodges of
buffalo hide rubbed soft with the
brains of that Indispensable animal ?
a buffsk) liver dipped In gall they con
sidered the greatest of delicacies ?
and there, to a little drum and a
squeaking pipe, they Indulged In
danees of n most humorous obscenity;
i here they were domestic.
Solemnly they slapped their naked
and solemn sons, and varied the smok
ing of their formal and Informal pipes
by the food with which they literally
stuffed themselves. In their philosophy j
and existence, In their fate, there was |
no tomorrow. ? Joseph Hergeshelmer I
in the Saturday Kvenlng Post.

A motorist in the South once stopped
for water at a dilapidated house where
a harefoot?*J man, leaning against a
rickety feno\ was gazing meditatively
across a field that had grown up to
weeds. "How is your cotton this
year?" the motorist asked. ^
"Well, sir." replied the man. "I ain't
g>>t no cotton. I didn't plant n<>ne
rause I was afraid t h boll weevil
might be bad."
"How is your corn?"
"Well," came the reply. "I didn't
plant no corn neither, for I didn't
know if we'd gif rain."
The motorist hestta'ed "How ire

Scottish Laboritea Bar
Hobnobbing With King
London.? The dour Scots of the
labor party In the bouse of common*
have sternly denounced participation
In any royal functions. Moat of them
.signed a declaration they would accept
no invltat}ona to such affairs "when
there Is so much unemployment" in
their constituencies. Only about a half
doKen withheld their signatures.
The Kngllsh members of. the party
were not asked to sign* but it Is un
derstood they are about equally divid
ed on the question. When the subject
was first discussed by the party a
yhort time ago it was decided, by a
/vote of 38 to 37, that the liberty of In
dividual members should nqt be re
,s t rioted, but that the party Itself
'Cvuiikl not accept such invitations. It
is now said the matter has been Pe
consldered, but that the party's policy
has not been announced.

When the priest asked the usual

With these words she drew a small

WOMAN CATCHES
PARIS RAFFLES
v ?
Fashionably Dressed Thief Loot
ed Many Houses Befo?e H.0
Was Finally Trapped.
Paris, ? Paris bo^st* of a "gentleman
burglar" in the person of one Serge
Henri Louis de Leuz, a young man of
good family, fashiouuhle appearance
and extravagant tastes, but with. de
generate tendencles^and a long Crimi
nal record. His trial, however, rubbed
off most of (be glamour of his career
as a gentleman, if not us a master
of his profession.
Leu as' Is thirty years old anil is the
son of a former director of the Kranco
ItUsslan bank. He lived a good deal of
the time with his parents In the sub
urb of Neuilly while pursuing without
their knowledge his double existence
In Paris as a man of the world and
a house-breaker.
lie was educated at the Carnot Ly
ceuni and the Purls School of Electric
ity, Hefore the war he served In the
cavalry, but was discharged ? as unflt
because of frequent attacks of hys
teria. In 1014 'he enlisted In the mili
tary supply train as a camion driver.
He soon deserted, however, and, hav
ing also been accused of theft, was
transferred after arrest to an African
battalion. He asked to be sent to the
front and behaved creditably there for
a while, obtaining two citations for
bravery. Hut once more he deserted.
He wus again arrested and was put
into tfie non-combatant forces.
Three Time? ji Deserted.
' He deserted a third time and was
thrown out of the array. In November,
18'JO, he was sentenced to two years'
Imprisonment for burglary, but was
soon released under the general 'am
nesty. Since then it is estimated that
he has committed 85 robberies, 23 of
them involving house-hreaklng.
He operated almost exclusively be
tween noon and .l p. m., when most of
the apnrtment house concierges are at
meals. He was always stylishly
dressed and carried his tools In a
small bag something like a-brlef case.
He stole only articles of little weight
and high value.
Leu 7. was, caught a few weeks ago
through the vigilance of a concierge.
She suw a young man with a limp en
ter th?? house, but asked no questions,
mistaking him for the son of the own
er. Presently he came o6t again, bag
in hand; She halted him.
"You don't know whom you are talk
ing to," he said contemptuously. Hut
she Insisted on an explanation.
"I am a wounded soldier," he went
on| more ingratiatingly. "1 Just stepped
in here to rearrange my brace. I didn't
think It was necessary to ring at your
ofllee." , ,
Trapped by Janltreas.
He then limped away und entered a
neighboring house. The Janltress be
came suspicious and followed him.
She told the other concierge to go for
a policeman while she detained the
stronger.
"Here is a thousand franc note for
you," the latter said, becoming
alarmed.
The concierge refused it.
"Have pity on me,", he pleaded, "I
have a sick mother."
The second concierge appeared with
the officer, who arrested Serge. At th?
police station they found that he car
ried a complete burglar's kit. He con
fessed and even furnished the police
with a full list of his robberies.
He valued the articles which he had
stolen at 2.<X)0.000 francs, but said that
he had realized very little on those he
sold through stolen goods receivers.
At his trial it was brought out that
he had had a passion for stealing since
early youth. He had robbed his school
l mates. He had. been arrested four
times before the war for theft,- and
seven times In all before the two
I concierges trapped him.
I?euz made the claim that .he com
J mitted his crimes while under the in
fluence of drugs. Put the physicians
who examined him declared him to be
completel v responsible.
