' FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without Mak-
ing You Sick and Cannot
Salivate.
Every druggist in town—your
druggist and everybody’s drug
gist has noticed a lulling off in
the sale ot calomel. They all
give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson’s
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and
gives better results,” said a
prominent local druggist. Dod-
son’s Liver Tone is personally
guaranted by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle
costs 50 cents and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipa
tion, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a
pleasant tasting, purely vege-
table remedy, harmless to both
children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up
feeling tine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or con-
stipated bowels. It doesn’t
gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel.
Take a dose of calomel today and
tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don’t lose
a days work! Take Dodson’s
Liver Tone instead and feel tine,
full of vigor and ambition.—Ad-
vertisement. 5
Remember, Saturday is the
last day in which you can trans.
fer your child from one school
district to another.

When the war between the elates
ended and the colored man was en-
dowed with cltlaenshlp a grave re-
sponsibility was placed upon him for
which be wasn’t prepared. In one of
those regions where the negroes were
very numerous and white men very
few oue of the former found himself
In possession of s Justice's court
The makeup of this dispensary of
Justice was somewhat crude. A Judge
was found who bad done the cleaning
of the courthouse, a prosecuting attor-
ney In one who had belonged to a law-
yer, but for counsel no one could be
obtained except a few darkles who bad
been tried for various offenses and had
by observing lawyers' methods picked
up here and there bits of court routine.
Moses Dogged, late the property of
Colonel Redfield Doggett, was the
Judge before whom a negro with no
other name, so far as was known, than
I’ete was brought on a charge of hav-
ing 111 treated his wife, Susan. She as
the principal witness was called to the
stand.
"Tell the cou't wha’ Pete gone done
to yen,” said the judge.
"Pete he de inoe' good fo’ nuttln nig-
ger In de state of Alabama. Now he
got free be t’lnk he bain’t got nottln'
to do but sit out In de sun an' sleep.
I says to Pete, ‘Git up an’ go to wo’k.
How yo’ si>ec’ dese chil’u gwlue to git
anyt'lng to eat ef yo’ don’t earn not-
tln’ 7* Pete he say: T haln’t got no
wo'k. Yo' go on wld de wasbln', an’
I tuk’ It to do owner on’ bring back
de pay ’ F’jTit pick up a rollin’ pin,
an’ I split it oil be skull.”
“Yo’ kouuh,” said the defendant’s
counsel, “1 thought It was Pete mis-
treated Susan, not Susan mistreated
Pete.”
“Yo*, Pete,’’ said the Judge, ”yo’ take
de stan’ an’ tell de co’t yo’ side ob de
question.’’
Pete-t>beyed the order and stood roll-
ing his eyes about till admonished to
speak in his defense of the charge
made by his wife.
"Haln’t got no wife," he said.
"Haln’t got no wife? How dat?"
“Ma wife, Chloe, wha’ I married fus’
down In Louisiana, air de only wife I
got. When I was sold an' separated
from her an’ de chil’n ma heart was
broke. I)e uex’ year I married oneob
de nigger women belongin’ to ma new
mars ter."
“Yo’ didn't get no dlvo'ce from yo'
fus’ wife?’’ asked the defendant's coun-
sel.
"1 didn’t get no dlvo’ce. 1 Jest mar-
ried ag'ln. Two years arter dat ma
marster lose a cotton crop an’ we was
all sold out, me an’ ma wife bein' sold
to different mnrsters. Den I married
anudder wife."
‘‘An’ yo’ didn't get no dlvo’ce from
de second wife?" asked Pete’s counsel.
"No, sah. I didn't get no dlvo’ce
from de second wife. I didn't keer fo'
no dlvo'ce from none ob ’em. Ma
heart was true to inn fus’ wife, Chloe.”
“How many wives have you got?”
asked the prosecuting attorney, with
a view to condensing this diffuse state-
ment.
"1 don’t know. I had de bad luck
to change marsters mighty often, an'
every time I was sold I married a new
wife.”
"Is Susan de las’?”
"Sue, she de las’.”
’’Yo’ honab,” said defendant’s coun-
sel, "I ask fo’ de dlscha’gevob do pris-
oner on de groun’ dat he couldn’t mis-
treat he wife when he hain’t married
to de wife he mistreated.”
“How many husbands have you
had, Susan?” asked the Judge.
“I got one in Mobile, anudder In New
Orleans an’ unttdder somewha’ In Souf
Carolina.”
"How do you know they are In those
places?”
"1 don’t. I married ’em dar.”
The Judge looked up at the boards
which constituted the ceiling In mute
deliberation. He was u grave looking
old durky and In bis bear! aimed to
be Just. . But the problem was bow
to l>e Just legally. The two In this case
seemed incompatible.
“De persecutin’ attorney will sum up
an' de counsel fo' de prisoner will sum
up, den de cou't will gib her decision.”
“I haln’t got untilin' to say,” said the
prosecutor, “ ’cept dnt Pete wou’t wo'k.
an’ his wife an’ chll'n am starvin’.
De cou’t oughter make him wo’k or go
to Jail.”
‘‘An’ I triti’l got nuthln’ to say,” said
the prisoner’s lawyer, “ ’cept dnt In de
fus’ place Hue all’ Pete hnlu’t married,
Pete bein’ true to Chloe, somewha’ In
de souf. In de secon’ place. It wa’n’t
Pete dnt mistreated Hue, but Hue mis-
treated Pete when she split de rollin'
pin on his head.”
The Judge ngnln looked at. the hoards
nbore. rolled his eyes and Anally gave
his decision.
“De new lnw of marriage among us
niggers since he 'mancipation procla-
mation nm different from de ole law.
Under de new lnw Hue am Pete’s wife,
nn' he bo ini' to tak' keer ob her an' do
cbUlun. De cou't derefo’ decides dat
Pete got to go to wo’k or go to Jail.”
“I 'peal de case,” cried Pete's coun-
sel.
“Yo* kin Jlst go ou 'pealin' de case
Mil kingdom^ come,” said the Judge.
"Pete, yo’ go to wo’k. Sue, ef he don’
go to wo'k you split anudder rollin’ pin
on hts head.”
"I hnln't got no mo’ rollin’ pins, but
I got some flatirons.”
"De cou't decides dat flatirons am
as legitimate as rollin’ pine. Call de
nex’ case.”

By WILLIAM CHANDLER
There Is an Infinite number of is-
lands In tbs Pacific ocean, and there to
a diversity of condition among the In-
habitants of the different Islands. Fif-
ty years ago I knew more about them
than 1 do now. When I was a boy of
eighteen I shipped on a small steam
vessel running from San Francisco
among these Islands, trading by the
way. The captain, Simpson, was then
quite an old man and had aalled
among them for a number of yearn.
He knew the character of the people
of the different Islands and told us
that, while most of them were ap-
proachable, there were a few at which
he would not care to touch unless with
e numerous crew and with plenty of
arms and ammunition.
During one of our voyages we bad
bad luck from the start Our crew
was a small one when we left Sau
Francisco. Two men were taken 111
within a week after we left, and both,
died. Another fell down an open
hatchway, and still another was wash-
ed overboard and lost
We had passed the Hawaiian! and
crossed the equator not far from the
International date line when we struck
a northeaster that drove us on to a
point directly north of the Fljls. Dur-
ing the storm we shipped a sea that
drove one man headforemost against
the bulwarks and washed another one
overboard. This left us the captain,
the mate and three seamen. Hardly
had The storm blown Itself out when
something about the firebox gave out
aud we were obliged to let the fires go
down In order to find out what It was.
We had sail enough to keep steerage
way, but no more.
Just before the captain gave the or-
der to put out the fires I noticed him
looking Intently at un lslnnd lying off
our port bow and heard him tell the
mate that be believed It to be one
from which on a previous voyage he
had narrowly escaped with his life.
Having found the natives bent on plun-
der and ready to strike any weak crew
that came within their reach, he did
not relish the Idea of putting out the
fires In that locality.
However, there was no choice lu the
matter, and when the firebox had cool-
ed down one of our number went Into
It for an examination. Unfortunately
the wind was blowing straight toward
the Island. Presently we saw a num-
ber of canoes coming out from the
shore. The captain looked grave. Un-
der sail we couldn’t make four knots,
and we were too few to defend our-
selves against the swarm of dusky
men who were coming for us. The
mate suggested that they were only
coming out for trade or to beg and
wouldn't harm us. The cuptnln said
ho knew better; they would murder us,
take wlmt they wanted and either get
the ship lo the shore or sink her.
The only chance there seemed to be
for us was to hide. We all went down
and got into the fireliox, where a man
was working, and closed the door. The
luteh fell and could be opened only
from the outside. Hut this didn't trou-
ble us, for the man who had been at
work had Ids tools, and when we wont-
ed to get out It would be possible for
him to bore n bole near the latch so
that It could lie lifted.
The furnace room was pretty dark,
and since wc all (lacked ourselves In
the far end of the firebox we were
not likely to be seen except by a pair
of first rate eyes. Wc waited lu sus-
pense till we. beard men tramping
ubout above. They must have been
surprised to find the vessel deserted,
but delighted as well, considering that
there wns much pluuder for them. We
heard them everywhere, evidently col-
lecting what they wonted. The door
of the fireliox wns opened twice, but
whoever opened It shut It again with-
out taking the trouble to make an ex-
amination.
The visitors rcmnlned on board till
we began to feel the vessel rolling con-
siderably; then the sounds suddenly
ceased. It was evident that the sea
was getting rough, and they did not
dare stay longer. Then Captain Sim-
mons directed the man who had been
repairing the fireliox to drill a hole ao
that the latch could lie lifted.
Boring a hole In wood and Iron are
two different things. The one can be
done in seconds; the other may take
hours. The ninn had been drilling
some time when we began to feel wn-
ter on the fireliox floor. Bringing the
light the workman hud with him, and
by whleli he was drilling, to bear on
the floor, we saw water trickling In at
several iiotnts.
Every man of us paled. The ship
hud been scuttled, nml we were pen-
ned in to lie carried to the bottom.
The mnn who was drilling hsd splen-
did nerve. lie did not lose his head,
but kept steadily oil, conscious of the
fact that he must make an opening
before the sldp sank and not knowing
how soon she would sink. When he
was nearly tl' -ongh, removing his drill
nnd putting u. a steel Implement, he
hammered It through. In n few min-
utes he Inserted his fingers and lifted
the latch.
The water had made conatderable
headway, but not so much but thst It
could be seen pouring through an au-
ger hole In the aide. We plugged It
nnd. rnahlng on deck, anw that we had
been blown past the Island and were
drifting awny from It. Then we man-
ned the pumps for awhile, completed
the work In the firebox and In dne
time wefe once more steaming safe-
ly on.
