KIND LADY HELPS
SICK OLD SOLDIER
Could Not Walk a Step. Both Make Statement Regarding
Trouble, and Place Credit Where Due.
Blackwells, Ga. —“Last year, an old
soldier living in my neighborhood,"
says Mrs. Hattie Armstrong, of this
place, “was so strickened with his
back, that he could not walk a step.
He got no relief from medicines he
was taking, and I recommended Thed
ford’s Black-Draught to him. He got
two 25c packages, and by the time he
had used them, he was entirely well.
I have been using Black-Draught
for 10 years in my family, and am
never without it in the house. I have
six children and I give them Black-
Draught for colds, and it cures them.
I suffered with consttipation for a long
time, and I could get nothing to do

who have traveled in the “land of the
greasers." The Mexican women have
often given this poison to their lovers
out of jealousy.
This herb is neen, or toloachi, and
the plants spread in many slightly dif
ferent species almost all over the
earth. It is our Jimson weed. The
me the good that Black-Draught does.
It is all that keeps me on foot.”
Mr. S. M. Watkins, the old soldier
referred to above, says: "I was down
with my back last summer, and
couldn’t get anything to relieve me.
On a friend’s advice, I took two pack
ages of Tliedford’s Black-Draught
and it did me more good than all
other medicines put together. It's
the finest medicine for headache, as
well as constipation and colds, I have
ever tried.”

Hindu women use it for the same
purpose as their Mexican sisters, to
cause their lovers to lose their minds.
Hindu robbers mix it in candy and
give it by some tricks to the inmates
of a house. The eaters of the candy
are thrown into a deep sleep, under
cover of which the burglars loot.
The Plant.
Toloachi is a low-growing plant
with white flowers and curious seed
vessels projecting much like the
horns of a steer. The seeds are pound
ed and mixed in the tobacco of a cig
arette. Usually melancholic idiocy
and slumber are induced, but some
times there is violent madness and
even quick death, it has been used
by Mexican men to kill a rival.
Toloachi must not be confused with
maringuana, of which Mexicans are
so fond that they form clubs to smoke
it. The Rio Grande border authorities
are active in checking the use of mari
guana for it often arouses ihe basest
passions and leads to lust and blood
shed.
The Magnet.
That there are other dangers than
bullets in Mexico, Stonewall Jackson
learned in the Mexican war, according
to the account of Lieutenant Colonel
Henderson. Jackson foil beneath the
charm of a Mexican beauty.
"Who the magnet was he never con
fessed; but that he went near to losing
his heart to some charming senorita
he more than once acknowledged, and
he took much trouble to appear to ad
vantage in her eyes.. . . He not
only learned to dance, an accomplish
ment which must have taxed his per
severance to the utmost, but he spent
some months In learning Spanish; and
it is significant that to the end of
his life he retained a copious vocabu
lary of those tinder diminitives which
fall so gracefully from Spanish lips."
“An Arm-Chair Soldier.”
In the heat of bitter controversy
William Wallace Wotherspoon. major
general and head of ihe genral staff,
has been called an “arm chair sol
dier.” But this was a grave injustice
to perhaps the most efficient man in
the army. If Wotherspoon sits in an
arm chair, there is a telephone at his
elbow, two rows of push buttons on
the desk before him, and a battalion of
subordinates nearby who step mighty
lively when W. W. W. speaks.
The general staff is the brains of
the army. It is the office organiza
tion in time of peace and war for all
the land fighting forces of the United
States.
Wotherspoon has always been the
thinker, the director. For this rea
son ills nomination as major general
was vigorously opposed two years ago.
But it was due to Wotherspoon in
large measure that the genral staff
was re-organized. Before Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, backed by Woth
erspoon, put up their great fight, all
correspondence of the general staff
had to go through the adjutant gene
ral’s department. This purely cleri
cal department saddled a kind of veto
upon the general staff. If it didn't
like the general staff’s orders they
didn’t go through. Imagine such a hit
of red tape about the department of
war l
Tender Age.
But if Wotherspoon has not had so
much field experience as some Briga
dier Generals he at least can say he
served Uncle Sam at a tenderer age.
He enlisted in the navy as a boy <ic
spite parental opposition—his family
is one of prominence in the District
of Columbia. A naval officer told
him one day he had made a mistake—
he could never become a general or
an admiral by entering the service
that wav.
Wotherspoon, fired with warlike
spirit, pondered this and finally saw
the light. He must go to West Point
or Annapolis. The naval officer se
cured an appointment at the Army
Academy for tlie energetic young sail
or, and in 1873 the "three W’s” gradu
ated.
Only Charge.
The only charge that could be
brought against him by Senator Bris
tow when opposing his elevation over
Funstcn, Bliss and Pershing was that
i he had depended upon personal popu
larity rather than actual fighting for
1 his rank. But Bristow was forced to
admit him a splendid administrator.
; He had been a member of the general
! staff since its creation. He was for
a time War College head. In the
| War College officers are trained in
strategy. Wotherspoon is regarded as
a high authority on infantry tactics.
He is a man of great force and intel
lect.
He must retire in November of this
year by the operation of the age'limit
law despite he is in the most en
viable health and positively blooming.
If there’s a scrap on- along the Kio
Grande, however, It’s a good guess
his fine old clockwork brain will stay
right where It is.

2,000 Head of Cattle
Rounded Up By Indians
Muskogee ,OUla.—Cherokee Indians
in the Kpavlnaw HUIh, cant of the
Grand River, today rounded up 2,000
head of cattle that had been brought in
by cattlemen from the weat side of the
river and drove them from the range
with a warning to the owners not to
bring them back.
The Indians have used the free range
of the hills for their cattle for half a
century. They are reported to be pa
trolling the east side of the river, and
it is feared trouble will result if the
cattlemen endeavor to return their
rattle to the hill range.
