2 OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1909. When the King Drives. Visitors to London are sometimes temporarily alarmed by a sudden stop page of the traffic. Looking for the cause of it they see that the police on point duty have "held up" all vehicles for apparently no reason whatever. Presently a closed carriage drives swiftly by; the police salute, lower their arms and then wave the traffic on again. Some member of the royal family was in the closed carriage. Spectators of this scene often won-jF. der how the police are able to distin- guish a royal carriage from a number of others. The police are always furnished with three or four clues to the ownership of the royal carriages. The carriages themselves are usually slightly larger than those generally in use, and the horses are larger in proportion. The difference in size between the royal horses and those of other people is plainly apparent to ar,y close observer at any big royal procession. On those occassions the royal stahles cannot sup pi jT all the horses required, and a num ber of other horses are "jobbed" for the day. The hired horses are natur allj' the best that can be prccured, but in point of size they are vastly inferior to those in the royal carriages. At one time the royal carriages hores could always be distinguished bv the red bands on the front of their bridles, but harness of this description is not now used exclusively by royalty. The police, however, can tell from the livery of the coachman and footman that they are in the service of the roy al family. There are no bright metal buttons on the coats; the buttons are covered with cloth matching that of the coat There is also a slight differ ence between the royal cockade and that of a private individual, but al though the difference is so slight it is sufficient to enable the police to distin guish the royal servants in a crowd of others. These little clues are only necessary when, as sometimes happens, members of the royal family drive through London without giving notice before hand to the police. As a rule when the King and Queen or the Prince and Princess of Wales are going to drive from one part of London to an other notice of the time and the route is given some hours before the loyal carriages may be expected. In the case of a semi-private drive of this kind the royal carriages never pass down the most crowded streets, but at the same time they never take any of the short cuts through side streets which are so dear to the hearts of cab men in a hurry. When the King is in town he fre quently drives in the morning in a plain single horse brougham, the iden tity of which is probably never discov ered by any one but the police. Lon don Tit Bits.

V- It's a "Shame. It's a shame, a measley shame, how the country upsets Mr. Roosevelt when he bobs up and claims to have broken all records to smithereens'. A short i time ao he rode 90 miles in one day, changing mounts every ten or twenty miles.then claimed that he had set the pace. It has been shown that divers men in the past have beat this record all to pieces. Here is one related to the Washington Herald by Mr. John Kirkland, of Kansas City, Mo. "Capt. M. T. Moore, of Jefferson City, Mo., eighty -seven years of age, a veteran of the Mexican war and one 0 the most vigorous and best preserv ed men of his age in the United States doesn't think much of the recent feat of President Roosevelt in riding ninety miles without a stop, save to change horses. Capt. Moore.as I understand it, has an authenticated record of hav ing covered, between sunrise and sun set, on a single horse, 105 miles. This occurred in 1850 in California, where he had gone te engage in the cattle business after having marched to the City cf Mexico with the victorious troops of Gen. Win field Scott. "His ride grew out of an emergency in a big deal for cattle in the San Jo aquin Valley. To close the deal, in which he and his partner, Capt. Waldo, were vitally interested, it became nec essary for him to start from the home ranch on Bear River, near old Fort Johnson, with a large amount of gold duet. He left at sunrise, mounted on an ordinary mustang pony that had never tasted grain, and covered forty miles before he reached the ranch of Gen. Benjamin Lisle, afterward attor ney general of Missouri, where he has tily swallowed breakfast and gave his pony water and a quart of barley, Once or twice during the daj he stop ped to water the ponr,but for the most part kept straight ahead, and just at sundown reached the herd and the camp on the San Juan River, at a place know as French Camp. The distance was 105 miles, as the crow flies. Captain Moore said that had he been provided'with a relay of horses, as was President Roosevelt, he could have covered 150 miles between two suns." This is calculated to make the stren ous one grit his teeth and say some thing ugly, for he thinks what he does as an example just cleans up the plat ter. Note that the Missouri man has only one horse, while the President had as many relays as he wanted Greensboro Record. Pneumonia Follows la Gripoe.

It will be remembered that he said: "Imperious Caesar, dead and turned to clay, Might stop a hole to keep the wTind away." But the young fellows of this gener ation could give Shakespeare points. A Charlotte chap who recently went up into the mountains to enter school, found a window casing in his room quite comfortable while the weather was of a character to tempt the blue birds to song, but when the blizzard rattled at his casement, a few days ago, he found that it was necessary to do something or die. A blanket nail ed over the window would swell in like a sail. Rags chinked in would blow out Then the young fellow got his water bucket and dipper and cast water into the crevice. The water froze quickly and in a minuta or two he had the wind barred out. If that does not beat the use of either imper ious or common clay, what does? This isua cold weather story.but a true one. But whoever would have thought of that particular plan of combating the blizzard? Charlotte Chronicle. Cures Blood Skin Diseases Eczema Greatest Blood Purifier Free.

Rail way station here last Thursday night a singular incident of romance and daring happened. The youth of color bid his little black Vf;nus good-bye and told her that he would return soon. She pleaded with her beaux de black not to forsake her and pledged her undying love and yearning to be with him all the time. Evidently the youth had promised not to leave her and she declared that if he must go, she would follow him anywhere. But his little black Venus would not listen o his reasonings and pleaded for his consoling presence. Reluctlantiy he said good bye and as the train puffed away he was seated composedly in the "Jim Crow" department dreaming of his love he thought he left behind. But when the conductor made his round through the train, collecting the tickets, he discovered the negro girl seated on the rear platform steps, pur suing her lover who had promised never to leave her. There she was riding peacefully and contented, for she knew her lover was "in the Jim Crow car ahead." The conductor po litely invited her off the train at Pat terson Springs and just as he did so the train left that station. In an in credibly short space of time she ran the full length of the train ahead and stood in the middle of the track. When the train approached she bounced with the lightness of a bird ank fearlessness of a flagman on the pilot of theengine Never dreaming of danger or accident she rode four miles on the pilot of the engine running thirty miles an hour. Her white frock waving in the breeze as the train pushed on startled the en gineeer and he stopped his train. The lady of ''olor was discovered clinging to the irons of the pilot, but seemingly not in the least frightened or discon certed. Again she was invited to leave the train about one mile from Earl station, and the train pulled on bearing her lover. Thereupon she hastened herself down the track as fast "as she could in hot pursuit of the horrid train that was bearing her lover away. She reached Earl station before the train left again and boarded it the third time, this time on tne trucks of the coach, the most perilous place of all The train crew discovered her again and after a chase of several minutes about the station she was captured and taken into the coach. Happy now she was, for by her side eat the gentleman of color who had caused her to risk her life in the most danger- ous manner. 1 ne conductor said that never in the least did she appear frightened or unnerved. A message was sent to Biacksburg,- asking Chief Duncan to receive her at the station. The engineer declared that in his 23 years of experience in that capacity he had never seen a female ride the pilot of an engine. In fact he said it was the most daring; and blood curdling ride he had ever witnessed. Cleve land $3?ar. I Maxims of Washington.

THEY INJURE CHILDREN. Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and Harsh Physic Cause Distress ing Complaints. You cannot be over-careful in the selection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medicine should ever be given. Ordinary pills?, cathartics and purgatives are too apt to do more harm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other dis tressing aftereffects that are frequently health destroj'ing and a life-lasting an noyance. We personally recommend and guaantee Rexall Orderlies as the saf est and most dependable remedy for constipation and associate bowel disor ders. We have such absolute faith in the supreme virtues of this remedy that we sell it on our guarantee of money back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk. Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely new ingredient which is ordorless, tasteless and colorless. It embraces all the best qualities of the soothing, laxative, strengthening and healing remedial active principles of the best knowli intestinal regulator tonics. Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleasant to take, are particularly prompt and agreeable in action, may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or other undesira ble effects. They have a very natura 1 action upon the glands and organs with which they come in contact, act as a positive and regulative tonic up on the relax, dry muscular coat of the bowel, remove irritation, dryness and soreness, overcome weakness, and tone and strengthen ' the nerves and mus cles, and restore the bowels and asso ciate organs to more vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies not only cure con stipation, but they remove the cause of this ailment. They also overcome the necessity of constantly taking lax atives to keep the bowels in normal condition. There is really no similar medicine so good as Rexall Orderlies, especially for children, aged and delicate persons. They are prepared in tablet form and in two sixes of packages'; 12 tablets, 10c, and 86 tablets, 25c. J. G.

Large crops of good corn result from preparing the land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed and proper cultivation. Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers will greatly " increase your yield per acre " of corn or any other crop. In some cases remarkable results have been obtained. Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes : " Words cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead of other companies' goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what I say to be a fact. I made a test on five acres. I used on one half the land your fertilizer and on the other half another company's fertil izer, same grade; the land received the same cultivation every time. I kept a correct account of the amc7int of money I got off each half and I got $300 more from the land on ivhich I used Virginia Carolina Fertilizer than I did off the other half. I got four times as much corn fro fit the land on which I used your fertilizer P Write today to nearest office of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company for a free copy of the new 1909 Farmers' Y ear-Book or Almanac, full of the most valuable and unprejudiced information for planters and farmers; or ask your fertilizer dealer for a copy. ,.
