W&t pamfcerg ?)eralij j ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1891. ? i Thursday, June 14, 1917. j \Y Oman in Man's Clot lies. A dispatch from Florence says: Florence '.vas treated to a rich and novel sensation Wednesday, a young woman dressed in man's clothes, Seeing from a pursuing crowd of men and children, jumping fences with the agility of an acrobat, and finally run down and sent to where offences apparently began. Nobody knows the woman, or if they do know her they will not tell. She is about twenty years of age and is supposed to be a Mrs. Whitney of Whinney, as the telegram read, said to be the wife of an engineer in Wilmington, or byothers who claim to know, a well known woman of the demi-monde of that town. She had been passing worthless checks. Her plan was to take a check to a furniture store, buyhalf or two-thirds its value and get the rest in cash. She got off the train at Winona yesterday morning, got a car to Florence, went in at the front door of a leading boarding house and out the back, got another car and went to Lake City, giving the driver the slip there, also it is said, and was finally arrested by the chief of police of that town on order from the sheriff here. She was brought to Florence and delivered to the jailer, but as she w-as so ladylike in her appearance Mr. and Mrs. Bryant gave up one of their rooms in the jail to her. *" "" ^ ^ V?/\r cot oil iYir. isryaiu, axiAiuus auuui ucr*, wi night on the piazza of the jail watching the exit to the room. At dawn she &ot him to call Lake City for her on the long distance phone, and talked of breakfast and returning to Wilmington without trouble, but when Mr. Bryant went to answer the phone from Lake City, she dressed in the jailer's Sunday suit, hat and necktie and slipped out of the door and jumped the high fence in the back of the jail and made her way to Palmetto street, where she stopped some negro cooks going to service and asked for a car. While talking with these Mr. J. E. Justice suspected something wrong and saw that it was a woman dressed in men's clothes, and he arrested her, but she broke from him and fled. He thought he had a German spy and started in pursuit. She leaped over a fence that was one rail too high for Mr. Justice, but the pursuit was taken up by others on the other side, and after bogging through recently drowned gardens and flying lik? a bird over fences and around J corners, she was taken, inglorious!}" taken, and then, like men, everyone who had caught her wanted to help her run away some more and not catch her, or. catching her, keep her away from the hojrid sheriff, for she was young and pretty, but the sheriff was right there in the crowd, and he is a mighty soft hearted sheriff, but he does his duty, ana his duty was to take her back to the jail and he did so, where she was again properly attired and sent to Wilmington on the morning train. Discovered! The kindly old squire was giving a little treat to the village school children. After tea he stepped on to the \ platform and announced, with a beaming smile: "Now I am going tc perform certain actions and you must guess what proverb they represent. The boy or girl who succeeds first will receive a quarter." That did it. Instantly every eye was fixed on him. First of all, the old gentleman lavdown on the platform. Then one . man came forward and tried in vain to lift him. Two others came to his aid. and between them they raised the squire, who was rather portly. The actions were meant to represent the motto "Union is strength." When they had finished, the squire stepped forward ana asked if any child had solved the puzzle. At once a grubby hand shot up and an eager voice squeaked: "Let sleeping dogs lie."?Chicago News. A Use l*?r K very thins*. An old soldier who nad lost one of his legs in the war once said to a younger man; "Well, there is one advantage in having a wooden leg." "What is it?'' asked the other.

Number .Vy attention has been called to an article in the issue of the Enquirer of April 27th relative to the prophecy of Isaiah 13:5. in which it is attempted to show that he number "six hundred three score and six" expressed in this prophecy indicates the name "kaiser." I have solved this part of the problem and find how the figures may be made, by mathematical arrangement, ' to indicate any name one may desire. Let us try the name "Edison." "Wilson" would do just as well, but the ~ - 'V" t Vk *? 1 ^ ? r> + V\/N 11 CA At O t VO P. JIJ V'<Ji \ CC> HOC \J i t* iiw.^ tion (two-thirds) and is not so suggestive. It is a little hard to nnd the name that will fit in with the use I of only whole numbers, but ' Edison" hits it well. Here it is: A-ll, 3-21. C-31. D-41, E-51, F-61, G-71, H-Sl. etc. E 51 D 41 I 91 S 191 0 151 N 141 666 Here is the solution: First decide on the name you want the number:1 "666" to spell, then proceed as fol-j lows: (1)?"Kaiser:" (Order of alpha-! bet) |, K 17 ^ A .*.. .. 1 1 9 l S 19 E 5 R 18 63 But we want this total to be "666," [ so we divide 666 by 63, getting the; quotient 10 and the remainder 36. j Now, there are six letters in the word! "kaiser," so we divide the remainder; 36 by 6 and we get 6. Now, multi-i ply each letter number by 10 and add! 6: K-116, A-16, 1-96, and so on, mak-j ing the sum 666. A becomes 16 and! the common difference 10. (2)?"Edison"?the regular letter- . numbers are: 5, 4, 9, 19, 15, 14, and; the sum of these niimoers is 66. Di-: viding 666 by 66, we have 10 and the, remainder 6. Dividing 6 by 6. the; number of letters in "Edison," wej get "1." Multiply eacn letter-number! by 10 and adding one, we obtain the! required values to make the total j "666." A-l 1: C. D.-10. (3) "Wilson."?Treated in the' same way, we find the sum of the! natural letter-numbers to be 92 and'1 by dividing we get 7 with the re-f mainder 22, which divided by 6. gives!1 3 and two-thirds. Multiply by 7 and !' add 3 and two-thirds. A?10 and: two thirds. C. D.-7.?W. T. Slaugh-j1 ter in Yorkville Enquirer. , j. Protective Dress.

AUGUSTA, GA. WHAT IS LAX-FOS LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA A Digestive Laxative CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Med!- A cine but, is composed of the following m old-fashioned roots and herbs: ^ UASCAHA BAHK BLUE FLAG ROOT RHUBARB ROOT S BLACK ROOT WAY APPLE ROOT SENNA LEAVES AND PEPSIN ' ; In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by the addition of these digestive ingrecB* ents making it better than ordinary GAScara . and thus the combination acts not only as a stimulating laxative and cathartic but also as a digestive and liver tonic. Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos combines strength with palatable, aromatic taste and does not gripe or disturb the stomach. One bottle will prove Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation, - ^ Indigestion or Torpid Liver.
