veriihid nerves destroy many
before their time. Often be-

Ssaable is, he is on the verge of s
eenpltte nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
year nervous system in good con-
Sben, as the nerves are the source
af all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kaons, an Mechanic St.. Pueblo,

mFm many years I suffered from
mi I sin prostration; I was unable
-gs da any house work and doctors
failed to help me. - Remedies I
tried from druggists did not do
mm a particle of good. A neighbor
Said my husband about
Dr. Miles* Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
int few doses I showed a marked
Inyrovement and after taking two
Pottles I was entirely cured. I have
ieoi perfectly well for years and
caaaot praise Dr. Miles' Nervine
iso highly."

Chicago, October 18. -Lucile
Cameron, the 17-year-old white
girl, for whose alleged abduction
Jack Johnson, heavy-weight
champion pugilist, was arrested
tolay, will be held under special
guard in the Federal building
here until Monday when she is
to go before the Federal grand
jury, unless Johnson succeeds in
getting her released on a writ of
habeas corpus. In that event,
the girl will be taken in custody
on a warrant for her detention
until she can be examined for
her sanity.
Johnson was arrested today on
a warrant sworn out by Mrs. F.
Cameron Falconet of Minneapo-
lis, mother of the girl, but was
released on $800 bond.
District Attorney Wilkerson
ordered a thorough investigation
with a view to government pros-
ecution of Johnson under the
Mann act prohibiting illegal
transportation of women from
one state to another.
Late in the afternoon the girl
was served with a subpoena to
appear before the grand jury.
The Federal authorities after-
ward placing her under bonds of
$25,000. Before this bond was
fixed the girl had refused to go
home with her mother, and the
mother, to hold the daughter in
custody of the police until inves-
tigation could be completed,
swore out warrants charging
disorderly conduct.

Mystery of
Mona Lisa.
In Its “Notes from Paria'* the
London Truth gives what its cor-
respondent asserts to be “the
truth at last” about the myste-
rious disappearance of Mona Lisa
from the Louvre. We shall never
seethe famous painting again,
he assures us, because it was not
stolen, but destroyed. He
‘learns” that it perished in the
Louvre, a vengeful employe
smarting at dismissal, having
poured sulphuric acid over the
picture. This outrage was com-
mitted over a year or more be-
fore the reported theft of Gio-
conda. The cutodians, it seems,
hoped that the original could be
restored, and hung a copy in the
galleries. But when it was cer-
tain that the acid had done its
work too fatally, burning the
varnish and destroying the colors,
and when experts began to whis-
per their doubts about the sub-
stitute, it was decided to let the
painting be “stolen.” The po-
lice were allowed to work on
that theory, although high offi-
cials from the first perceived its
improbability. This was thought
to be kinder to the public than
frankly to admit that Mona Lisa
was gone forever, while to let
out the true story would have
reflected even more severely than
the report of the theft of the
masterpiece upon the laxness of
the Louvre staff. The Paris cor-
respondent of Truth is kind
enough to point out that some
parts of his revelation cannot be
vouched for with “the same cer-
tainty” as others, but it is obvi-
ously a very pretty unveiling of
the truth as it stands.—New

Do You Want To Make Some
Money Now?
If You Do, Take a Lay Off of Five Minutes and Read this Announcement
The Panola County Oil, Gas and Coal Company have secured a tract
of land near Beokville whose surface indications point almost unmistakably
to oil, gas and c^&l underneath.
We :tra going to develop? this property without delay. It requires
money for development, and those who contribute their money and their in-
fluence now, will participate proportionately in the resulting profits.
In less than a- generation the oil business of the United States has
grown from a few barrels a day hand pumped from the earth, to the great-
est single source of wealth from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
That Texas is especially favored as an oil deposit is evidenced by the
fortunes made in oil ut Beaumont, Sour Lake, Corsicana and Electra, and
the unmistakable evidence of oil in other sectione of the State. That Panola
^county is equally blessed with the most favored seotions, and only awaits
the magic touch of money and labor to give up its riches, is the settled con-
viction oLthose who are promoting the work at Rockville, and the opportun-
ity in offered tho people of Panola county to share with them in any sum
from ten dollars tcjten hundred as may be desired, until the limited amount
of stock now offered shall be subscribed and paid.
.We will spII you a lot (500 square feet in aroa in our first sub-division
of the Panola County Oil, Gas and Coal Company’s lands as per plat, re-
corded in Panola County Deed Records, for $10.00, and give you with each
lot purcha-ed and paid for one share of stock, full paid and non-assessable,
par value $10.00, in the Panola County Oil, Gas and Coal Company, which
owns a valuable well site, of approximately five acres, in tho heart of this
sub-division and upon which its firet well is to bp drilled.
In addition thereto it owns leases on teveral thousand acres of adja-
cent lands which it is the company’s intention to also develop?, in the output
of which in addition to your individual ownership of lots bought in fee sim-
ple, you would participate in proportion to the number of shares of stock
owned by you.
Lot owners may drill on their individual holdings at any time after
deed is delivered to them.
