MINOR MATTERS
OF INTEREST
M. H. Soiiram and Johnny Mover in
Heading over Montour Ridge in search
of game have run across the " Huuteis'
Spring," sons four mil is below town
which has revived a flood of memories
iu the minds of old-time nimrods The
old spring, which has bet-n nearly for
gotten during years, lias aboat
150 yards below the "Devil's Feather
bed" an 1 is closely assoaiated with
that natoral curiosity. Few persons
ever olimbed to the top of the moun
tain to view the gigantio cou so of
rock on winch lii-> Satauio Majesty ao
cordiug to tradition at night stretches
his liuohs without qneuchiug their
thirst at the "Hunters' Spring" near
by.
The spring is one of large dimen
sions.the water o* which eveu iu sum
mer is cool aud refreshing and of the
clear and crystal feort associated with
a brook od the mountain side. It
takes its name from a time-honored
ocstom that obtaiued among the hunt
ing fraternity of Danville and viciu
ity. from the eaily davs of the settle
ment. For manv, many years each
autumn on the Saturday following the
election there was &>i au.iual hunt, in
which everybody of any importance in
the county skilled iu the use of the
gun participated. The dly wound up
with a great game dinner at the spring
near the "Devil's Featherbed."
Ou the morning of the day scores of
gunners wouli assemble at different
points and start out to hunt over Mon
tour Ridge and possibly over the farm
land lyiug at its base. While these
were bagging pheasants,squirreU,quail
&0., which in those days were much
more plentiful than now,others of the
party were busy building a huge fi»e,
installing a capacious gridiron beside
the spring an l otherwise getting things
iu readiness for the prepara'iou of a
feast.
About 2 o'clock the hunteis began
to come iu —all loaded down with
game. It is recalled that on one oc
casion there were seventy-five squir
rels on hand with phea-ants, rabbits,
quail, &c., iu proportion. With the
abandance of help on hand the game
was soon prepared for cooking Charles
Shoals, memory still lingers
with ns.wae for many years head cook
ou the oocasion aud naturally the feast
evolved was a royal oue. The scene
in the deep wood around tlie blaziug
Are—the souud of the careless, the
merry voices that echoed along the
mountain side as the short autumn day
drew to a close still linger in the
memory of a few old timers,hut to tiie
rest of us of another day aud a genera
tion it is a story that has nev. r been
told.
Among prominent Danville people
who always participated iu the annual

Jacob Corneiison, John R s', William
Heurie. James Eplilin, Job i Miles,
Myers Perrin. Fred Hlue. The Bill
meyers.ttie Blues.the McCr.tokens and
other prominent families of the rural
sections were alro always represented
at the hunt.

WHAT WILL BE
THE RESULT?
On the subject of GraJgtf Banks,
concerning which an article appears
on another page, there is much to
say both pro and cou. hat just how
much good can be derived from such
institutions is yet to be learned by ex
perience. Iu this line W. P. Hasfiugs.
oue of the most conservative experi
enced and progressive newspaper edit
ors of the State. ha« the following to
say iu his Milton Standard of Tues
day :
John G. McHenry, ot Benton, well
known iu this county, aud a probable
Democratic candidate for Cougress
next year, is oue of the promoters of
a system of grange national banks, !
which are to be established in the var
ious counties of tiie state where the
grange has a strong [membership. It
will take a trial to develop whether
the plan will be practical Master
Hill, of the State Grange, advances
the theory that it will "make the in
dividual farmer far more prosperous
land will give them the use of mouey
to finance their own improvements,
such as rural telephones, etc." This,
sounds all right oo paper, bat how
much more will the fanner control Ins
money that is deposited in the Grange
bank than iu any other institution?
Besides banking is a business just as
farming or iumberiug or making irou
or auything else, and requires a speci
al trainwis aud experience to eusare a
reasonable degree of success. The
writer recalls a period probably thirly
five years ago whgu the Grangers
started their own sto:es. Hundreds
aud tiiousauds of retail stores were es
tablished over the country, and were
managed as a rule by presumably con
servative men with practical busiuess
ideas. Ninety-five per cent, of them
were failures, and entailed a los«, in
some instances, quite ssrious upon
"those who promoted them. Tlio bank

H. L. DeWitt of South Dauville, who

r a hunting excursion a few days ago
, last eveuiug returned home, bringing
with him a big deer, which was brought
I down by his aliening aim.
The present law makes it illegal to
shoot more than one deer or fawn dur

, therefore, nothing remained for Mr.
DeWitt but to retain home, although
he had only be» n oaf a few davs.

Mr. DeWitt feels the restrictions of
the law very keenly, as no sooner hid
he shot the deer, which proved to be
a fine doe, than two thriving fawns
came trotting aloug These of course
under the law were safe from 'the

It Is a Curl on* l.ittle Craft That la
Cranky, Vet Safe.
It Is lu Greenland that the bunting
ability of the Eskimo reaches Its high
est development, lie has a fine me
chanical skill. Bones, Ivory, stones, a
little driftwood, skins and the sinew
of the reindeer nre the materials from
which he must make his boat and
weapons. There la nothing else. Says
a Greenland traveler: "Of these the
Eskimo builds a canoe. Its frame of
bones and driftwood, its covering of
translucent sealskin sewed together
with sinew. This kaynk is decked over,
except for a hole In the middle framed
with a wooden ring. The Eskimo
wriggles Into this hole, bis legs extend
ed Into the fore part of the boat.
"Hound hi# waist there is a cylinder
of sealskin, the lower edge of which
draws over the wooden ring and Is
pulled tight with a thong, making all
water tight to the armpits. For heavy
weather the cylinder Is part of a skin
shirt with a hood. Strings tighten tills
hood to the face and cuffs to the
wrists, while a pair of long sleeved
mitts protect the hands and arms.
"So rigged a good man can turn his
canoe bottom upward and right him
self again with sliding strokes of his
paddle, for he Is as waterproof as a
duck. Moreover, his vessel Is so flexi
ble that It is almost safe from being
crushed In the Ice drift and, being lim
ber, Is extremely swift when propelled
by the double ended paddle.
"On the other hand, the vessel Is so
cranky that only about two-thirds of
the native men have nerve and bal
ance enough to bunt. Only three or
four Danes In all Greenland have
dared use a kayak."
A PAGAN MYTH.
It Linked Mar and Matrimony With
I'nhnpplneM and >ll»fortnne.
The pagans had a myth that "only
bad women marry in May." They had
another—that if the marriage did take
place the couple would live most un
happily, and children born of the mar
riage—lf It was not hopelessly rendered
i barren by thus slapping the fates in
i the face —would be deformed or imbe
cile. With prizes like that in prospect
It Is not much wonder that the igno
rant and superstitious taboo May mar
riages, but there is no excuse yet for
this idiosyncrasy of thinking people—
at least no sensible one.
I Ovid was a firm believer In the su-
I perstltlon and said that no widow or
| young girl would marry in May unless
she wished to invite the displeasure of
the gods and that the Imprudent wom
an who braved their wrath would fill
an early grave. Ovid pinned his faith
to rosy June, the birth month of June,
and when he got ready to launch his
daughter on the matrimonial sea he
studied the stars and all the supersti
tions to make sure that he would not
run upon Scylla In steering off Charyb
dls.
Resolved to match the girl, he tried to
find
i What days unprosperous were, what
moons were kind.

THE TREE KILLER.
' A Cnrtoun Vine That PlonrlahM In
Unrr Central America.
One of the curious forest growths of
the Isthmus of Panama and lower Cen
tral America in general is the vine
which the Spaniards call matapalo, or
"tree killer." This vine first starts in
life as a climber upon the trunks of tiie
large trees, and, owing to its niarvel
ously rapid growth, soon reaches the
lower branches. At this point it first
begins to put out its "feelers" —tender,
harmless looking root shoots, which
soon reach the ground and become as
firmly fixed as the parent stem. These
hundreds of additional sap tubes give
the whole vine a renewed lease of life,
and it begins to send out its aerial ten
drils in all directions. These intwine
themselves tightly around every limb
of the tree, even creeping to the very
farthermost tips and squeezing the life
out of l>oth bark and leaf. Things go
on at this rate but a short while before
the forest giant is compelled to suc
cumb to the gigantic parasite which Is
sapping its llfeblood. Within a very
few years the tree rots and falls away,
leaving the matapalo standing erect
and hollow, like a monster vegetable
devilfish lying upon its back with its
horrid tentacles clasped together high
In the air.
A Chapter Of Accident*.
It was the upper deck of a London
bus. A passenger, a dignified person
age, lighted a cigar and threw the
match, as he supposed. Into the street.
A few seconds later he was surprised
to find that his umbrella was on fire.
At the same Instant a sharp gust of
wind opeued it and carried it, like a
flaming parachute, through the air.
Making a sudden grab after his truant
property, the passenger overbalanced,
plunged headlong over the omnibus rail
and after turning a somersault landed
upright on the road unhurt.

Evolution of the Dayunet.
The sweynes-feather (hog's brisflet,
which seems to have been the original
prototype of the bayonet, was a long
rapier blade, fixed in a handle and car
ried in a sheath, which was given to a
inusketeer for defense after he had dis
charged his piece. Stuck by its handle
In the muzzle of his gun, it constituted
a very efficient weapon for acting
against pikeinen. To diminish his in
cumbrance the sweynes-feather and
musket rest were combined, the latter
i forming a sLeath for the former, in the
i of James I.
Toward the latter part of the civil war
the use of the musket rest was aban
doned, and it became the practice to
stick the dnjrger by its handle into the
muzzle of the piece sifter discharging it
In IGBO two ring's were added h.v
which the bayonet was placed on the
muzzle without interfering with the
firing. This improvement, the Inveu

oflieer, was introduced into the French
army by Vauban in 1703. ISy the Eng

OLD TIME SERVANTS.
Pt-liM llnd Trouble-* of Ill» Own
wHli IIIM MCIIIUIH.
Perhaps one reason why servants in
Pepys' time were treated as "cue of
the family" was that they very ofteu
■were blood relations. The diarist him
self, in fact, engaged his own sister
Pauline as his servant, "which she
promised me she could, and with many
thanks did weep for joy." For all that,
lie would not ' let her sit down at the
table with me, which 1 do at first that
she may not expect it hereafter from
me." Her temper, however, made the
arrangement impossible, and Pepys
had to engage somebody else Instead.
"It being a great trouble to me that I
should have a sister of so 111 a nature
that I must be forced to spend money
upon a stranger, when It might be bet
ter upon her if she were good for any
thing."
It is only within a century or so
that servants have ceased to be rela
tions of the family and the term
"menial" has come to be considered
derogatory instead of meaning simply
"within walls"—intra moenia. In the
old days all women between twelve
and forty and all men between twelve
nnd sixty without means of subsistence
could be forced by two justices togo
into domestic service; hence the fact
that when a man married his cook, as
he often did, he was extremely likely
to marry some one above him In sta
tion. as we understand distinctions of
class nowadays. This also explains
why a lady would refer to her maid as
her "gentlewoman" and a marfter to
his valet as his "gentleman."
INLAND BATHING.
It Fomlshe* One of the Senmiou*
Dellghta of Existence.
Quiet Inland bathing offers you no
extravagant opportunities to be a
poseur. If the water Is warm, you 101 l
In it at your ease; your mind Is soon
stupefied by the sensuousness In which
you are infolded; the interest of your
sleepy eyes does not extend beyond
the gentle ripples that widen away
from the slow, submerged Btrokes of
your arm 9. After awhile you roll over
on your back and drowsily execute at
Intervals a languid "shoe fly" leg mo
tion, while you look drowsily up Into
the void. Now and then you will raise
your arms and flap them down through
the water like a pair of sweeps. It
is only a tired sort of effort, and Anally,
In the supreme abandonment of indo
lence. you lay your head back—far
back—until the water creeps up about
your eyelids. You stretch out legs and
arms motionless and lie, breathing
tranquilly, sensible of no other move
ment in the world than the slight flux
j and slip of the water upon your heav
ing chest. Then may you realize per
haps something of the lark's sensation
when, with wings outspread, it hangs
suspended between earth and sky. He
who has never thus suspended himself
Idly in still water, with fathoms below
him and infinity above, has not expe
rienced one of the sensuous delights of
existence. Unfortunate man who goes
to his grave believing that there is
nothing better than bed for weary
limbs and Jaded brain!— Arthur Stan

nark l« EiiglUh Fairs.
For the origin of the modern circus
one must go back to the English fairs
of the seventeenth, eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries. Unlike the
American county fairs of the present
day, which are more In the nature of
live stock exhibitions, the early Eng
lish fair was a rout of dancing, fid
dling. drinking, fighting, wrestling and
bull baiting a gathering, as it were,
of merry andrews, monstrosities, bul
lies, Jilts, tight rope walkers, acrobats,
contortionists, equestrians, mounte
banks, grimacers, scaramouches,
thieves, pickpockets, idlers, beggars,
fortune tellers, gypsies and those upon
whom they prey.—E. S. Ilallock in

HE TOOK LONG CHANCES.
Bat thr Tailor'* Anxiety and Bill
Wfrc Both Finally Settled.
The doctor of an English regiment
stationed in India received a letter
from his tailor Inclosing a long overdue
account and concluding with a polite
Inquiry after the debtor's state of
health. The sawbones replied thus;
"I have received your hypocritical
letter hoping that I am In a good state
of health Hear, then, what your
chances of my living long enough to
be able to pay your bill are. I attend
assiduously every cholera case In the
camp, and I am making smallpox a
special study. I swim every morning
in a lake swarming with alligators. At
a recent attack on a hill fort I went
with the forlorn hope and was one of
the three who returned unwounded
Tomorrow morning I shall go unac
companied and on font Into the Jungle
and wait for the man eating tigress as
she returns at dawn to her cave and
cubs. If It be she who falls I shall
spend my leave In the fever haunted
Jungle following up big game, and If I
survive that I shall cool myself after
Its heat by joining a party to ascend
the peak of Dhawalagirl, whose sno*
slopes and glaciers are as stiff as your

The doctor eventually returned bomw
In safety, and the tailor's anxiety and
his bill were both settled.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so'
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root. the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. andsl. sizes.
