USED SNAKES TO ROUT FOE Hannibal on Record as Having Played Mean Trick on King Eumenes of Pergamus. When Hannibal was about to be at tacked by King Eumenes of Pergamus at sea, that crafty person decided that in a fair fight the king would win. The enemy had more ships and more men, and Hannibal and all his follow ers would be at the bottom of the sea if any attempt were made by him to engage the vesselg of the king as in dividual units. Hannibal therefore gave out word that all his ships were to join in an attack on the ship car rying the king, on the theory that with out a leader the enemy would soon be demoralized. To find out what ship the king was on he sent a mes senger just before the battle with a tablet to the enemy’s fleet. The mes senger was directed to the ship bear ing Eumenes, and all of Hannibal’s fleet had merely to watch the little boat to identify the king's vessel. When the battle began Hannibal's boat rushed to the side of Eumenes' ship, and the former's sailors began to hurl great earthenware pots into the king’s boat. The defenders of the ship at first laughed at this queer method of warfare, but their laughter promptly changed to howls of terror when it was discovered that the pots were filled with poisonous snakes of the most deadly variety. The ship turned and fled for shore, its decks alive with the hissing, gliding snakes, The other ships also treated to snake bombs followed suit, and Hannibal was the victor. FRUGALITY DECREED BY LAW Early French Monarch Must Have Been Unpopular with the Fair Sex in His Dominions. In the reign of Philip the Fair of France (1294) an economy wave spread throughout the country. This movement was largely influenced by the extravagance of the higherups as well as the mounting costs of living, which seemed to embarrass the poor folk in those days as much as it does at the present time. In order to curb this extravagauce a statute was passed during Philip’s reign which prohibited common eiti zens from wearing furs, precious stones or gold. This privilege was bestowed only upon those who could afford it such as dukes, counts and barons, whose annual income amounted to 6,000 livres a year. At the same time, ladies of this rank were restricted te one single gown each year, Knights ‘whose incomes exceeded 3,000 livres per annum were permit ted to have more than two suits each year either by gift or purchase. If his income was less than this he would be compelled to appear before the magistrate and explain his extrava gance, Port Tobacco Passes. Gone is the ancient town of Port Tobacco—Portobacko of the eight eenth century—the “metropolis” oi Charles in the days of auld lang syne, The pioneers who sailed up the Po tomac founded it on an estuary of the noble river, and its fame as a shipping point for the colonists once oxtended across the Atlantic. Three or four decades ago the last “court house fight” in Maryland centere¢ arsund Port Tobacco. Its water trans portation dwirdled, and the building of the Pope's Creek railroad line from Bowie to the Pctomac gave the Charles countians a new outlook. Many of them picked La Plata station for a county seat, owing to its cen tral location and da'ly trains. The old courthouse at Port Tobacco was burned down and the voters declared for the building of a new one at La Plata.—Baltimore News. Had Large Sum on Hand. History relates that Croesus was given entertainment on -one ocecasion by a Lydian named Pythius, supposed to have been a distant relative of Croesus. During the entertainment Pythius informed the king that when he heard of his approach he had made careful count of all his ready money that he had on hand in gold and sil ver, $24,000,000, and that he wished to present it to the king as a token of regard. The king hesitated about taking his money lest Pythius might be reduced to want, but Pythius replied: “My lands, estates, slaves and income-bear ing property are still untouched.” This sum of money was simply cash on hand which he had not yet invest ed. At the rate of 10 to 1 in modern purchasing power, Pythius had ready money equaling $240,000,000. ’ Concerning Proverbs. A proverb is seen at its best when it is not over-famillar to us. Then we can enjoy the sudden salt flavor of cynicism, the searching irony that made Bacon describe proverbs as “edge tools of speech, which cut and penetrate the knots of business of affairs.” France, as mlgh.t be expected, is rich in the edge-tool variety of prov erb—though the edge, naturally, suf fers in translation. *“He that cannot pay let him pay.” “The nearer the church. the farther from God.” Spain has proverbs, with a smoothness, a characteristic blandness in place of the sharp French rapier thrust. “Let that whick is lost be for God.” “A fool, unless he knows Latin is never a great fool.”—V. H. Friedlaender, In Country Life. Pecullar Chinese Muslic. Chinese music is not written.

Try it. Poor digestion and assimilation mean a_ poorly nourished body and low vitality. Poor elimination means clogged bowels, fermentation, putri faction and the formation of poisonous gases which are absorbed by the blood and carried through the body. The result is weakness, headaches, dizziness, coateqltongue, inactive liver, bilious attacks, loss of energy, nerv ousness, poor appetite, impoverished bleod, sallow complexion, pimples, skin disease, and often times serious ill ness. Ordinary laxatives, purges and ca thartics—salts, oils, calomel and the like—may relieve for a few hours, but real, lasting benefit can only come through use of medicine that tones up and strengthens the digestive as well as the eliminative organs. ~Get a 25¢c box_of Natures Remedy ANR Tablets) and take one tablet each night for a week.
