Samuel Jackson died yesterday at his home in Independence. He was au old time negro. He was fond of telling stories of the times before the war, and one was of a miracle he • saw with his own eyes. Tho old log house known as the Hudspeth home in Fort Osage Town- ship was: burned by the Federals under the famous order No. 11. Mrs. Hudspeth was a very old and devout lady and she had the record of her family in an old family Bible which, at time of the fire, was in a cupboard in the old house. When the house was smouldering the old lady called Sam, and pointed to a place where the fire had been the hottest, and ordered him to take a long handled rake and dig into the coals. She told him he would find her Bible there unharmed. The negro dug into the coals and got out the Bible, which was scorched around the edges of the heavy leather cover, but unharmed inside. Old Sam always re- ferred to this as a miracle.—Kansas City Star.

Last Wednesday morning an automo- bile, owned by Sylvester MePelt 'and driven by his chauffeur, Jeff Chitwood, while on the. way to Fort Sheridan was seen to slacken its pace and stop, dead still, at the foot of a long and steep hill. Half way up the hill a termer was driving a team of horses harnessed'to an empty wagon, "Hello, uncle!" called out the chauf- feur. "Well, what do you want now?" shout- ed the farmer. "I want to warn you that you'd. bet- ter get those old plugs of yours out of the way as quick as you esu," yelled the chauffeur. "I'm going to .take this hill at a twenty -ani a an hour gait!" CFIILDHOOD DANGERS. No symptom that indicates any of the ailments of childhood should be allowed to pass without prompt attention. The little ailment may soon'beeome a serious one, and perhaps a little life passes out. If Baby's Own Tablets ale kept in the house minor troubles can be promptly cured and serious ailments thus averted. And the Tablets can be given with equal safety to the new born babe or the well - grown child, Mrs. H. Gendron, i\fartie- ville, Que., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets and have found them in every way satisfactory. I always feel safe when I have them at hand."
