Possum Skins Price
Stops All Work.
Dalton, March 24. —Ever since
Zeke Gitts made the discovery
that possum skins could be sent
by parcel post all other industry
has been abandoned in the out
lying districts of Whitfield coun
ty and the population is sleeping
daytimes and possum hunting all
night.
The Peevy’s Hollow man who
traded his wife for a possum dog
last month is now conceded to
have been a shrewd judge of the
market and reports says he de
clined to trade back even when
offered boot.
Prime possum skins are bring
ing from fl to $1.25, and the
parcel post takes them direct to
the city markets without middle
men taking their rakeoff.
Life.
Man comes into the world
without his consent and leaves it
against his will; during his stay
on earth his time is spent in one
continuous round of contraries
and misunderstandings. In his
infancy he is an angel; in his
boyhood he is a devil; in his man
hood he is everything from a
lizard up; in his duties he is a
fool; if he has no family he is
commiting race suicide; if he
raises a check he is a thief and
the law raises Cain with him; if
he is a poor man he is a poor
manager and has no sense; if he
is rich he is dishonest, but con
sidered smart; if he is in politics
he is a grafter and a crook; if he
is out of politics you can’t place
him, as he is an undesirable citi
zen, if he goes to church he is a
hypocrite; if he stays away from
church he is a sinner; if he do
nates to foreign missions he does
it for show; if he doesn’t he is
stingy and a “tight wad.” When
he first comes into the world
everybody wants to kiss him—
before he goes out they want to
kick him. If he dies young there
was a great future before him;
if he lives to'ripe old age he is in
the way, only living to save
funeral expenses. Selected.

UNCLE SAM GETS
READY TO FIGHT
Places Immense Orders for Arms
and Ammunition With Four
Great Plants.
CAN CONTROL LARGE OUTPUT
Baldwin Locomotive Company Ready
to Abandon All Other Work So
Government May Receive
Enough Supplies.
Philadelphia. Pa.—The four greatest
war munitions factories in the world,
the Midvale Steel and Ordnance com
pany, the Remington Arms company?
tiie Eddystone Ammunition Corpora
tion and the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, with their many subsidiaries,
stand ready to open up their plants to
the United States government on a
minute’s notice.
This has been announced by Sam
uel M. Vouclain, managing director of
the Remington Arms company and a
member of the board of directors of
the Midvale Steel and Ordnance com
pany, and Alba Johnson of the Bald
win Locomotiv.e Works.
Rush Big Arms Orders.
At the same time it was acknowl
edged for the first time that all of
these companies are rushing tremen
dous orders of ri 11 es and shells, all
placed within the last six weeks, since
the Mexican situation and foreign re
lations became more serious than ever
before.
The Remington Arms company at
Eddystone is rushing an order for 2,-
000,000 rities, the Eddytone Ammuni
tion Corporation is pressing every
available man into service to turn out
in record time 2,500,000 shells, the
Baldwin Locomotive company has re
ceived an order for 17,000,000 steel
forgings and the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance company is hard pressed
and also flooded with orders for all
of these things for the United States
government.
Ready for Emergency.
Not only are these great concerns
ready to throw their factories open
to government, but Mr. Johnson
stated that the Baldwin Locomotive
Works is ready, if necessity should
arise, to abandon the manufacture of
any other product than war munitions
in order to assure the government an
unlimited source of supplies should
the expedition into Mexico prove a
harder task than it is believed it will,
or if any emergency should arise.
This would place at the disposal of
the government the greatest plant for
that purpose ever assembled under
one head.
HOW FUNSTON CAUGHT REBEL
He Risked His Life in Oaring Trick
That Was Successful—Brought
Finish to Insurrection.
MaJ. Gen. Frederick Funston, then
Colonel Funston, first focussed the
eyes of the country upon him when he
captured in a daring and clever man
ner the Philippine leader, Aguinaldo,
fifteen years ago.
The “Little Corsican" had been
chased about the Islands in vain for a
long time until Funston finally netted
him
Aguinaldo, who at that time was
about thirty-eight years old, came Into
fame In 189(1 when he led a revolt
against Spanish rule. He continued
his insurgency when the United States
conquered Spain, and kept the Ameri
can army busy from the time of its
occupation of the islands until his
capture Until General Funston went
after him, Aguinaldo escaped all traps
so easily that It began to be whis
pered he bore a charmed life.
Early in March, 1901, General
Funston, with a small force of trusted
men, left Manila to capture Aguinaldo.
who was reported in hiding in the
province of Isabella, Island of Luzon.
Funston’s party landed at Belar It
was arranged that Funston’s party
should be '‘captured’’ by a band of na
tives led by Htlaria. who had been one
of Aguinaldo’s officers, but who had
turned on him.
After a long journey by water and
through swamp-covered lands, Hilario
and his “prisoners’ reached Aguin
aldo’s hiding place. The Insurgent
leader was surrounded by a bodyguard
of about forty men. but at a prear
ranged signal Hilario’s men opened
fire, dispersing the guard. Hilario
himself threw his arms about Aguin
aldo and told him he was a prisoner of
the Americans. This was on March
23.
Five days later the United States
gunboat Vicksburg with General
Funston and Aguinaldo aboard arrived
at Manila. News of the capture of
the insurgent leader was balled with
delight at Washington. With Aguln
aldo’s capture the insurgent move
ment in the Islands practically died
out.

ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
