Wooed and Won in
Western Hay Field
Mary L. Bennett is a Kansas
Maud Muller who won her sweet
heart to the tune of a pitch ork
wearing common old blue denim
overalls instep of a brier-thori
gown, savs a Kansas news item.
At least this is the story th ,t
Mary told and -h has a • i

word good enough for a court to
order her employers to pay n;

Mary Bennett >s an orphan with
a sister livmg in Texas. At >’u
death of her ; mints she w< i to
live with neighbors, Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Jason, in Sedgwick county.
She grew to young womanhood
in their home and during the
summer months si, was i; :id ,h
regular wages of a farm hand.
She was a strong young woman
and actuallay was about as good
a farm hand as the average stroll
ing worker who came along. For
these years Marv Bmined o a
hay along side th<
summer, Charles Lee happened
to be one of tn workers in in
same field. The girl and the mao
worked side by side. He was s-ill
a college student working during
the summer to earn money to help
pay his way through school.
The two worked together so
well in the hay field and even in
the wheat harvest that Lee de
cided they would be exceptionally
good teammates for life. In the
fall he returned to school and the
girl remained on the farm. Lee
graduated in May, went to the
Jason home and took Mary to a
minister’s and they were married.
Then he went to work.
When Mary left the Jason
household she said the Jasons
owed her $76 in wages which
they refused to pay. So the
young husband hired a lawyer,
began suit and got the money.

The Man in the Moon.
The dark configurations of the
moon’s mou itains and valleys,
which have been the "man in tiie
moon” to countless generations
of Agio-Saxon children have also
e:> ited similar speculation among
the savage tribes throughout the
uncivilized portions of the world,
d Samoan Islanders look upon
the spots as representing a woman
can vinca child. This same be
is shared by the natives in
'.- ■)> of tne other South Sea Is
i. cs, thcimii sometimes it is va
d slightly to an old woman car
rying a burden.
Hie Indians on the west coast
of South America have a more
* tic conception; they believe
omi a girl, who had fallen in love
with the moon, sprang towards it
a )d was caught and kept by it,
id that it is her figure which is
t be seen when tne moon is full.
Ihe Eskimos also have ail old
tradition in explanation of the
lark spots on the moon. They
say that one dav Amiga, the moon,
chased his sister, the sun, in wrath;
just as he was about to catch her,
however, she turned suddenly
and threw a great handful of soot
into his face, and thus escaped
him.
The people of northwestern In
dia, who account for the moon’s
periodical dsiappearance by the
the that she is burned up regu
larly explain the dark marks as
being the ashes of former moons.
Other nations explain her disap
pearance in various other ways.
The Dakota Indians have it that
she is eaten up by the mice. The
Polynesians have it that the souls
of the dead feed on her. Accord
ing to the Hottentots, the moon
sutfers severely from headache,
and when it gets very bad she
hides her head with her hands.
Some tribes of Eskimos maintain
that after shining for three weeks
she gets tired and hungry and
withdraws prepare and eat one
enormous meal, after their own
fashion, then reappears and is
ready for another three weeks’
shine.
Says They Are Wonderful.
Hot weather is doubly danger
ous to a person whose digestion
is bad. The hot sun keeps the
body heated and a decomposing
mass of undigested food in the
stomach will more quickly send
disease causing impurities through
the blood and poison the entiie
system. Indigestion, consiipa
tion, sick headache, biliousness,
bloating, or other conditions
caused by clogged bowels yield
quickly to Foley Cathartic Tablets.

An Essay on EcHtors
A country schoolboy was told
to write an essay on editor and
this is the result:
“Don’t know how newspapers
came to be in the world. I don’t
think the good Lord does, for He
ain’t got nothing to say about an
editor in the Bible. I think the
editor is one of the missing links
you read of, and stayed in the
bushes until after the flood, and
then came out and wrote the
thing up and has been here ever
since. I don’t think he ever died.
I never seen a dead one and nev
er heard of one getting licked.
“If a doctor makes a mistake he
buries it and people dasant say
nothin’.
“When the editor makes a mis
take there is big swearing and big
fuss, but if a doctor makes a mis
take there is a funeral, cut flow
ers and perfect silence.
“A doctor can use a word a

You can hardly wait—something big is

“If a doctor goes to see another

Her Left Side Hurt.
No family remedy enjoys a bet
ter reputation among intelligent
women than Foley Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Laura Beall, Plattsburg,
Miss., writes: Last April I got in
bad health; my left side, hurt all
the time. The doctor’s medicine
didn’t seem to do me any good.
I had symptoms of Bright’s dis
ease. 1 took two bottles of Foley
Kidney Pills and feel all right
now.” They quickly relieve
backache, rheumatism, aches and
pains in a natural way —by driv
ing the poison out of the system.
