LIVING IN NEW ORLEANS

Letter of. Invitation Was Sent in July, But Was Put In Table

Drawer Awaiting Return of Mrs. Wauffer.' .:

'SRS

By a moat peculiar accident, a di­rect descendant of General Zacbary Taylor, was cheated out of the honor of unveiling the Fort Edwards monu-

•inent at Warsaw last week. The let­ter of invitation was tucked away in a table drawer and the one to whom it was addressed did not receive it^ un­til September 22, although It was written on July 10. .

The Warsaw Bulletin gives, this etory concerning the incident:*^?,

it was felt that it would be an ap­propriate thing to have a direct de­scendant of Zachary Taylor unveil Kort Edwards monument and the writ­er Immediately set to work to locate such a person. As will be recalled by readers of the Bulletin, the effort was Anally successful, through the good offices of Senator Sherman, of Illi­nois, and Senator J. E. ftansdell, of Louisiana. Two direct descendants are residing in New Orleans, one of whom is Mrs. W. R. Stauffer. How ever, a letter directed to tlie lady brought no response add other ar­rangements had to be made. Just on the eve of the centennial celebration the following letter was received, which explains the delay: .

New Orleans, L*.> Btbt 22. 1914. Mr. Phil Dallam, , { , »

Warsaw, m. ' »**« v

Dear Sir: I greatly regret that your letter of July 10th addressed to Mrs. stauffer lias Justreached her. The letter was received in dire course of mail at our residence, but who ever received it unfortunately placed it la a drawer, evidently intending to de­liver It to Mm. Stauffer on her return fiom a brief absence. Unfortunately tfeese goo4 intentta&s were not carried oat, delivery was overlooked,.and the letter hits Just been delivered.

Mrs. Stauffer. begs, _tp. express her htgb appreciation of the honor, feeling that no greater distinction could come to her than to assist in the ceremonies commemorating the establishment of Fort Edwards by her grandfather, Major Zachary Taylor.

Mrs. Stauffer wants to thank you lor the privilege and favor offered and to express her deep regret at the un­fortunate incident which prevented her assisting in the ceremonies. '«*«?>

Very respectfully, ' 4 A WALTER A. STAUFFER.

Failing to'find relief with doctors and remedies, she became des­pondent and discouraged. After a few weeks' treatment with Amolox the scaly redness disappeared, pustules healed and she wag entirely cured. A few months following tier mother vrote-that Amolox had* done wonders for her daughter, and she was mar­ried last week. Seems like a fairy tale, doesn't it? Yet this is the truth.

STIRRING APPEAL FOR RECRUITS

English Are Told Thst They Are Liable to Become 8ubjects of

the Kaiser.

[By Ed L. Keen, Staff Correspondent of the United Press.]

LONDON, Sept. 21. (By mail to New York.)—Arhtur Mee, the well known Cardiff editor and journalist, has just written the greatest appeal yet made to the men of England to take up arms for their country. He declares that England is facing possible an­nihilation and that unless its citizens put forth every effort they can that they may become subjects of the kais­er. His article follows:

"England is fighting for the right to be a free nation. She is fighting, not only for France and Belgium, but for her own homes.

"This war is a hundred times more important than the Boer war. It means life and death for us. We are fighting to keep our word but we are fighting also to keep our homes. We are fighting, with France and Belgium, to keep the Germans out of England.

"But the German army presses on, and your homes, your country, these quiet streets, are in peril. You must help England now if you want to save her. If the Germans win you will be a sul.ect of the kaiser. You will no longer be a free sitizen; you will be a Prussian slave, ruled with an lronj rod by officers from Potsdam. j

"There is no doubt about it and it is possible that unless you strike a blow now, the last days of our free nation may be upon us. It is possible that the Overman army may defeat the allies. It is possible that the British fleet may be beaten and that the Ger­man troops will land in England.

"If Germany should beat us you will be a colonist of Prussia. Your children will bo taught German and compelled to speak It; your boys, will b'a German conscrips. You will be taxed to keep up the German army; which will keep you down. You will loose all that England has given you —your free speech, your vote, your free newspapers, your right to organ­ise.

'Germany is not a democratic coun­try. In England the people own the government, in Germany the govern­ment owns the people. The British idea Is that the will of the people n.ust prevail; the German idea is that the will of the people must agree with the will of the emperor.

'In England the army is the serv­ant of the nation; in Germany the military class overrides the peopled In England the king rules through the ministers; in Germany the emperor rules without them.

'There is no secret about the Ger­man emperor's intentions. Re means to conquer England and France. He is throwing away masses of troops to stagger the allies to defeat by force of numbers, and is terrifying the civil population by cruelties too! horrible to believe. j

He could have stopped the war byi a word; he could even now stop the' shooting down of Innocent populations and the destruction of beautiful build- j Ings and works of art

"But he does not because he dare: not. It is his way of winning and he| must win at any cost if he is to save! his throne. He has staked his crown j on the detest of England in order; that he may strip us of our trade and be roaster of all Europe.

'The German are almost at our gates. The gallant Belgians and; *. t?--—r -"H"*

more British troops arrive In France. Our little army is doing its best but the dauntless spirit of our thousands cannot hold out forever against Ger­many's millions. Soon they must be at our doors.

"Then, if the German army should come, your freedom, your home, per­haps your life will go. Nothing will matter to you then. These streets will be filled with German troops; perhaps your house will be burned down; but these things will be noth­ing. What will matter Is that all your life you will be under the heel of the German army; you will lose even the right to put a poster like this on your walls unless it hss been passed by a German officer. That will be the end of England.

"Men—will you let England go down? She has done something for you. She has given you freedom and sheltered you while tyrants trampled on other lands. She has given ydu peaceful years and your children op­portunities. She has made you proud­er than a Roman.

"Will you help her now? England Is in the gravest peril she has ever known and 10,000 men can save her. Our little army is fighting against great odds while you stand here. Will you stand and see it beaten

"Give yourself for home defense or foreign service. Your family will

J be cared for and you will be free atter the war. Apply at the postofflce.'*

Profit Sharing Conference. Jfy WELDEJSLBY HILLS, Mass., Oct. 9.

Attacks of Indigestion | "I believe Chamberlain's Tablets have

saved my life, writes Mrs. Maggie Coil, Golden City, Mo. "I had pains in my

stomaon so bad I thought I could not live. Our doctor said it was congestion of the stomach. I would gotobedperfectlywell and wake up in the night as bad as I could be and live. Our doc­tor said it would do no good to give medi­cine internally. H e had to inject medicine in my arm. Since tak­ing Chamberlain's Tablets I can eat any­thing I want without hurt ing me." This form or indigestion is extremely painful and often dangerous. By taking Chamberlain's Tablets-after eating,

and especially when yon have fulness and weight in the stomach after eating, the disease may be warded off and avoided. Chamberlain's Tablets not only aid digestion, but strengthen and imrlf J-*-*** v. ••• . £
