to submit to improper relations
w :h Mm as a roly rite.
The colony, despite its "low moral
tone, fornication, adultery, attempted
rape, if not rape, and petty theft" has
gone unpunished and in almost all
casts unreuked. Judge Sater said.
"In political matters, the members
of the colony vote solidly for the per
son? designated by Benjamin," states
the decision.
Benjamin, it is declared, has. in his
writings, made statements of no other
rational interpretation than that if an
investigation of the colony be had, its
members should answer untruthfully.
The evidence, it is pointed out. dis
clo<?' s that on other occasions Benja

and :hi*~srirls."
The court ponders as to the reasons
of "Queen" .Mary, wife of Benjamin,
for failure to take the witness stand
at th?* Hansel trial, despite "evidence
which cast a doubt, "at least, on her*
virtue." in an attempt "to vindicate
her honor or to shed light on transac
tion? in which she was said actively
to have participated."

BOY SCOUT SETS EXAMPLE
A busy Yuan of large q.ffairs, withess
of tlie following incident, was so im
pressed with Its significance that he
perspnally has written this account :
"On one of the large green busses
of the Washington Rapid Transit com
pany last week, coming down Six
teenth street on its way to Pennsyl
vania avenue, every available seat was
taken and no one was standing. At
the next stop a lady boarded the bus.
A small boy seated near the window
just beyond a lady who occupied the
end seat, promptly arose and offered
his seat to the new passenger, who
protested saying:
" 'Oh, do not give up your seat for
me, little lad. You are a little lad and
I am a woman. Keep your seat.'
"'No,' said the lad.^ 'I can't do
that.' Already he had left his seat
and the lady proceeded to take it.
"She said, 4I am interested to know
why you gave the seat up to me.'
" 'Well, said the lad, 'there are two
reasons. In the first place, you are a
lady, and I am a boy. In the second
place I promised to do It.'
" 'You promised to do it?' said the
lady in astonishment. 'Whom did you
promise and why?'
" 'Well.' explained the boy, 'you see
I am a boy scout, and I promised my
scoutmaster to give my seat to a lady
or small child on board street cars, and
busses when there was no other seat
to be had.'
u 'Well, that's fine; but how long do
you expect to keep your promise?'
asked the lady.
u 'Oh, I expect to keep it all my life.
That is how long I promised to keep
it,' replied the lad.
" 'Oh, yes, you see,' said the boy, 'if
you were Lay mother or my sister, I
certainly would give either of them
my seat rather than have them stand
up, and if anybody let my mother or
sister sit down when the bus, was
crowded, I certainly would be obliged
to them for doing so. Anybody would
feel that way qbout It for his mother's
and his sister's sake.' "
"During the conversation everybody
on board the bus listened. The effect
was instantaneous. Every lady that
boarded the bus thereafter got a seat,
and when the vehicle arrived at Thir
teenth street and Massachusetts ave
nue, not a* man occupied a seat. Eight
of them were standing in the aJsle."

FROM SCOUT COURT OF HONOR
Credit Is due the Court of Honor
records of Rochester, N. Y., for the
following excerpt:
Scout Harry Tompkins of the
Roosevelt Troop, passed 15 merit
badges last spring during a troop a0
vancament drive.
The chairman of the Court of Hon?*,
thinking that t lie boy had slipped
through most of his requirements
without any real work, proceeded to
cross-examine him as follows:
"What did you do for your elec
tricity merit badge?*'
"I wired my father's house," replied
Tompkins.
"How did you earn your automo
blling merit badge?"
"I designed and built an automo
bile."
"frow fast will it go?"
"Forty-five to fifty miles an hour."
"What did you paint for your paint
ing merit badge?"
"I painted my father's house last
spring." "
"You win," said the chairman.
"Next."
ONE GREAT GOOD TURN
Scout^Rudolph Stelnfeld of Troop 5,
Hoboken, N. J., because of prepared
ness gained through scout training,
was able to save his mother from
burning t6 death. When the bo? came
home one afternoon he first noticed his
mother bending over the. gas stave and
a moment later saw her garments on
flre. The boy quickly removed his Coat
and wrapped it around his mother's
flaming dress. The blaze extinguished,
the lad treated his mother's burns.

Nashville Lady Attributes Good
Health to Cardui ? Says She
Was Suffering Agony When
?he Began to Take It.
Nashville, Tenn. ? Mrs. Dudley B.
Stuart, 519 Ash Street, this city, re
cently made the following statement:
"Before I started taking Cardui, I was
sick in bed. I weighed 90 pounds.
"My mother came to see me and told
me to get Cardui." My husband went to
town and brought home two bottles
which I took. At once I began to Im
prove, although up to that time I had
taken medicine, but it had not helped
me at all. From the first dose of
Cardui my appetite began to come
back.
"I had been suffering from female
trouble. . .was so weak and in such a
run-down condition. That was two
years ago.... I kept on taking Cardui
as a tonic.
"My appetite is good. I certainly
owe a lot to this fine medicine. Nothing
did me any good until I began to take
it. It made me gain 48 pounds. I don't
weigh quite so much now on account of
the baby nursing, but I feel perfectly,
well. I am very grateful for what it s
l;as done for me, for I was suffering
agony when I began to take it/'
Writing later of her experience in
the use of Gardui, Mrs. Stuart said:
"My-health Is better now than ever and
am proud to say Cardui did It."

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of eight and are soon forgotten? ? The
reason is plain? the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer.. Thia
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Takfe for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many ye^ra
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Roob is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
Kver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-~
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You 'may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmty> & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale at
all drug stores.? Advertisement.
