It would astonish many of us some-
times if we could know what our neigh-
bors think of us. Every man has some
kina of a standing in the community
where he lives, and he sized up a
great deal closer than he has any idea
of. You may set it down as a fact that
there isn’t a twelve-year-old boy io the
neighborhood who hasn’t his opinion of
you, and he wouldn’t be slow about ex-
pressing it, either, if a stranger should
ask him for it. Every man is always
making character, whether he is doing
anything else or not.

While George Woodward was run-
ning a sawmill in the mountains of
Adams county, near Gettysburg, he
discovered the petrified head and neck
of a human being imbedded in a large
oak log. Woodward removed the head
and has shipped it to Dr. G. W. Tate, of
Altoona, for examination. The head
was of perfect proportions, the features
being preserved to the minutest de-
tails. Ears, nose, mouth, eyes, eye-
brows, and even the lines of the face
were plainly visible. The unusual
color of the face was the only thing
which detracted from its lifelike ap-
pearance. The tree was cut near
Lewis’ (the robber) cave. Itis suppos-
ed the head belonged to one of the vic-
tims of this noted outlaw. Lewis, the
robber, committed many murders
along the old Shippensburg road.
Numerous expeditions were sent
against him, but owing to his impreg-
nable stronghold in South mountain,
he always successfully resisted attack

A humorist has said that “the Mis-
sissippi River is so crooked in places
that a steamer going south has been
known to meet itself coming north,
give passing signals, and narrowly es-
cape a collision with itself.” Because
man has never been able to make the
Mississippi obedient and content to
stay in one particular channel, many
interesting geographical
have arisen. There are innumerable
old channels threading back and forth
through the forests of the lowlands,
and whenever there is an overflow or a
particular heavy freshet, the river ic
quite liable to wander off down one of
these old channels and leave some
shipping point high and dry. The town
of Delta used to be three miles below
Vicksburg, but a cut-off changed things
so it is now two miles above that point.
Another little place, called Blue’s Point,
was formerly located in Mississippi,
but one spring when times were dull
and the river needed a diversion, it
changed its channel and transferred
Blue’s Point over into Arkansas. If
the big river had taken such a twist
between Missouri and Illinois, before
the war, it would have removed slaves
from one state to another, and thus set
them free.
Nothing will releave Indigestion that
is not a thorough digestant. Kodol di-
gests what you eat and allows the
stomach to rest—recuperate—grow
strong again. KODOL is a solution of
digestive acids and as nearly as possible
approximates the digestive juices that
are found in the stomach. KODOL
takes the work of digestion off the di-
gestive organs, and while performing
this work itself does greatly assist the
stomach to a thorough rest. In ad-
dition the ingredients of KODOL are
such as to make it a corrective of the
highest efficiency, and by its action the
stomach is restored to its normal ac-
tivity and power. KODOIL is manu-
factured in strict conformity with the
National Pure Food and Drug Law.
