One of the Last of Old-time “Reds.” Tom-0-Wah-Teet, who remembered the first coming of the white man to the Klickitat valley, Washington state, has gone to the happy hunting grounds at the age of at least one hundred and ten. He was known and liked by everyone in the region, and would tell vividly of the events of days when white people invaded the territory of the Yakimas and Klicki- tats. He was present at the council of Walle Walla plains in 1855. apd was a warrior under Kamiakin in the Yakima Indian war that followed. He took part in the block house battle and massacre of white settlers at the Cascades, where Lieut. Philip H. Ster- | idan was in command of the troops sent from Fort Vancouver to defend the garrison. After the revolt was crushed Tom-0-Wah-Teet wns always friendly to the whites, and his many services have been repaid, for since he became pearly blind about five years ago and could no longer support himself and his aged squaw by work- ing on farms, those he once aided have looked after his wants, Lost Diamond Mine? A fabulous fortune awaits the man who discovers the lost diamond mine of Arkansas. There are indisputable indications that such a mine exists. according to a statement by Capt. Frederick C Packer, an English diamond mining ex. pert who has twice come ro this coun- try from Kimberly. South Africa. in search of the lost mine. Due to the peculiarity of the natural process by which diamonds were formed in the dim ages of the past, Captain Pucker said. the inMcations of a diamond field may be found a long distance from the field Thase indications have been found in a eor- tain section of Arkansas. but the min~ has not been discovered. It may i penr the Oklahoma line. he asserts. Anxious. Waiter—All right, sir, all right. You'll get served in time. Diner—Well, rush it, I want to get through this meal before the prices rise again.

The trial was in the Marion circuit court, on appeal from the police court, where the defendant had been guilty of violating a city ordinance prohibit- ing the throwing of rubbish in the streets, relates the Indianapolis News. The charge had been preferred by a neighbor, who filed his affidavit set- ting forth that the defendant had will- fully, unlawfully and maliciously thrown certain particles of glass into the street in front of affiant’s resi- dence. During the hearing of testimony in the county court the defendant’s law- yer, with all sails set, let loose Mis best line of cross-examination of the complaining neighbor. “You say, Mr. Witness,” the lawyer snarled, “that you saw this defendant throw some glass in front of your house and then run back to his front door—you mean to tell this court that he ran or just simply walked fast?” “I guess I know when I see a man run,” the witness half answered. “I say, did he run or just walk fast?” the attorney thundered. “Judge, your honor,” the witness excitedly replied, as he turned and faced the judge, “This here same law- yer made me a liar in police court. He might for all I know gone sixty miles an hour. I ain’t no judge of human nature.” PLEA FOR MEMORIAL TREES Committee Would Have One Planted in Baptist Churchyards as Tribute to Roger Williams. A memorial tree in every Baptist churchyard in the United States to commemorate establishment of re- ligious freedom and soul liberty is the plan of the Roger Williams National Memorial committee of the District of Columbia. The committee, which is in charge of the drive to raise a fund for the erection in Washington of the Roger Willlams memorial, announced it would ask every congregation in the country to plant a memorial tree. “The tree stands for life,” says a ( statement from the committee issued at the Washington headquarters, “and as the American Foresty association is urging the planting of memorial trees In honor of the American sailors and soldiers who gave their lives that po- litical freedom should not perish from the earth, so we will ask that trees be | planted in honor of Roger Williams, ; who worked and suffered that religious liberty might be woven into the na- tional fabric of America.” i ——They are all good enough, but { the “Watchman” is always the best.

Why Suffer So? Why suffer from a bad back, from sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dizziness and distressing urinary ills ? Bellefonte people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you ask for stronger proof of merit? : M:s, Christ Young, 16 Potter St., Bellefonte, says: “For more than a year I suffered with a dull pain in the small of my back. My back was al- ways sore and when I bent over, I could hardly get up again. I didn’t feel able to do an hing about my house. I had a dull, drowsy feeling all day long and when I got up in the Jovhing I could hardly dress. I was troubled a lot with dizzy spells and my kidneys acted irregularly. I read in our town Paper where Doan’s Kid- ney Pills had helped so many people of the same trouble that I decided to give them a trial. The first box that I got at the Green Pharmacy Co. cur- ed me and it has been about three Jars now since I have had any trou- le with my kidneys.” (Statement given April 22, 1914). On October 18, 1918, Mrs. Young said: “I am very glad to confirm my former endorsement recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills. I have had no kidney trouble since I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and am now a well wom- an and owe it all to Doan’s Kidney Pills.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.

Every now and then somebody breks loose with a statement that the man of genius is a man of small stature, or the tables are reversed and the statement is made that the first essential to greatness is a large stature. Facts tend to prove, however, that | jist there is no physical index to genius. When short men are mentioned, one of the first to come in mind is Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon was a collossal figure in the world’s his- tory, and be measured well below the average in height. Among other short men whose names are by-words, either in the world’s history or in modern times are John Quincy Adams, Andrew Carne- gie, Chaucer, Alexander Hamilton, Ibsen, Charles Lamb, Thomas B. Ma- caulay, John Milton, Thomas Moore, Alexander Pope, Robespierre, Wil- liam B. Seward, Thoreau, Martin Van Buren, and Michael Angelo. To offset these we will list a few of the geniuses who measured over six feet: Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Samuel Adams, Bismarck, Jonathan Edwards, Walt Whitman, and Eugene Field. Among those de. scribed as six-footers are Charles Darwin, Alexander Dumas, James Munroe, Alfred Tennyson and George Washington. These were close to six feet: Hen- ry Ward Beecher, Daniel O’Connell, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Gallatin, John Ruskin, Robert Louis Stevenson, Daniel Webster. A Nurse for Over F orty Years.

She has been a nurse in Wil- liamsport for over forty years. Miss Braine lives at 931 West Third street, and still follows her profession. She says: “I have always kept myself in pretty good health, but I contracted rheumatism on a trip south about twenty years ago and havent been able to get rid of it, although I have doctored and tried everything I know; instead of getting better I kept get- ting worse and the last year it has been so bad that I have had difficulty in attending my duties as a nurse. “I have been taking the Goldine treatment about ten days now and I wish to say that it is remarkable the way it has relieved my pains. It is surely driving the rheumatism from my body and I am glad to give my endorsement to a good, honest medi- cine that does actually produce re- sults, and I trust that those who know me will take advantage of my en- dorsement and give this wonderful medicine a trial.
