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 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. Mrs. Elizabeth Slausson, So. Nor walk, Conn., writes: “I can hon estly say thev are wonderful,” The McDonough Drug Co. 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 Like good news whenyoure ■waiting— tk satisfy!

Speer makes free examinations of the eyes. 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.
