TRUTH TRIUMPHS
McCook Citizens Testify for the Pub
lic Benefit
A truthful statement of a McCook
citizen given in his own words should
convince the most skeptical about the
merits of Doans Kidney Pills If you
suffer from backache nervousness
sleeplessness urinary disorders or
any form of kidney ills the cure is
at liand Read this
Charles Weintz of McCook Nel
says My back ached constantly an
if I lifted or stooped I had sharp
pains in my loins The secretions
from my kidneys often contained sedi
ment and the passage were irregular
and painful A tired feeling was in
evidence when I got up in the morn
ing convincing me that my kidneys
were at fault After trying a number
of remedies without being helped to
any extent I procured Doans Kid
ney Pills at McConn ells drug store
and they entirely removed my trouble
I have since advised other kidney suf
ferers to take this preparation and in
every instance it had done good work
Several years ago I publicly endorsed
Doans Kidney Pills and at this time
I gladly do so again

KNIFING AN ERMINE
Cold Trick That Traps the Shy Littlo
Fur Prize
You are doubtless aware that the
ermine of which your muff is made
has been the emblem of royalty almost
in
since royalty Degan in itussiu uum
very recent years its use being for
bidden to those not of noble birth But
I wonder if you are likewise aware
that it is brother or at least first
cousin to the weasel Ermine as a
matter of fact is nothing more than
the weasel or common stoat in its
northern coat for like other arctic
and subarctic animals the weasel turns
white in winter in order that it may be
as inconspicuous as possible in its en
vironment of ice and snow Yet so
abnormally keen of sight are the Si
berian trappers that they can distin
guish at almost incredible distances
the little black tip of the ermines
tail as it whisks across the dazzling
plains
It is very shy is the ermine and
special snares must be devised by the
trapper to avoid injuring the delicate
skin Even the smallest of the steel
traps are too heavy for such tiny ani
mals as these and here it is that the
trappers fertility of resource is most
strikingly displayed Smearing a little
grease on his hunting knife he lays It
across the succession S dots and
dashes which show that an ermine has
passed that way Along comes the
tiny white form on its erratic course
again The grease appeals to it and
it begins to lick the knife blade
which in those far northern lands
where the mercury drops to 20 30 40
degrees below zero is inconceivably
cold Did you never as a child on a
winters morning put your tongue to
some piece of metal only to find that
It did not easily come away So it is
then with the ermine -whose tiny red
tongue is instantly frozen to the steel
as though with glue The knife being
too heavy for the little animal to
cany off it can only wait until the
trapper comes upon his rounds and
you my lady have a muff of snowy
unmarred skins E A Powell F R

QUEER STREET NAMES
One Feature In Which Brussels Out
does London or Paris
There are many bewildering street
names in European cities and of
these London presents a bewildering
variety Bermondsey possesses a Pic
kle Herring street Near Grays inn
there Is to be found a Cold Bath
square Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden ironically
enough in the slums of the east end
of the British capital
In Brussels some of the street names
are really bizarre The Short Street of
the Long Chariot the Street of the
Bed Haired Women and the Street of
Sorrows are remarkable enough to
catch the least observant eye The
Street of the One Person is as one
might guess an extremely narrow one
But the cream of the Brussels street
name surely belongs to the Street of
the Uncracked Silver Cocoanut This
in the original appears as one ponder
ous word of thirty sis letters
The 7000 inhabitants of the Rue des
Mauvais Garcons signed a petition
praying that the name of the street be
changed They contended that the de
nomination of the thoroughfare in
which they reside produces a bad im
pression on those to whom they are
obliged to give their address
This Street of the Bad Boys was It
appears so named in the sixteenth
century because of the noisy character
of its inhabitants But now it needs
no such designation those who reside
there being for the most part peaceful
and respectable citizens
Among the peculiar street names In
Paris may be mentioned the Street of
the Little Windows the Street of the
Mules Foot the Street of the Holy
Fathers the Street of the Daughters
of Calvary the Street of the Dry Tree
the Street of the Empty Pocket and
the Boulevard of the Good News

The Fhantom Ship That Shows
liself Wear the Cape
IT IS REALLY A HUGE ROCK
But to Vessels Passing Through the
Strait of Le Mairs It Appears to Bs
a Bark Running Under Short Sail
Other Rock Ship Formations
The phantom ship seen in the vi
cinity of Cape Horn Is as has been
proved by the investigation of various
hytirostniphie bureaus nothing more
or less than a rock which under ccr
tain atmospheric conditions bears a
deceptive resemblance to a ship
Very often vessels coming from Eu
rope to the west by way of Cape
Horn have been startled to see what
appeared to be a derelict with the
water washing over her deck If the
sailors were of an imaginative turn
they would invest the unknown ship
with ghostly qualities and call her the
Flying Dutchman or sometimes the
ghost ship of Le Maire from the
strait of that name where she was
usually seen
One of the stories which have been
longest remembered is that of the ill
fated Crown of Italy which sighted
the supposed derelict and subsequently
went ashore The Crown of Italy was
standing close to the jagged black
rocks at the entrance to the strait of
Le Maire when she sighted what
seemed to be a waterlogged bark
drifting on the rocks of the strait
Many other ships rounding the Horn
have seen a similar apparition and the
various hydrographic offices of the
world have received many reports to
that effect
Some years ago the Norwegian bark
Servia got into Seattle with the tale
of a phantom ship that almost exactly
corresponded to that given by the
Crown of Italy The second officer of
the Norwegian vessel declared that he
had seen a derelict with sails set and
decks awash drifting in through the
strait It was this report that led our
government officers to make public the
declaration that the phantom ship was
nothing but a combination of rocks
and shadows
The numerous reports of derelicts or
ghost ships always appearing in the
same place led even the Argentine
government to look into the matter
A tender was sent out from the near
by lighthouse with the object of mak
ing an investigation and it was found
that the apparition was due to a
strange freak of nature Among the
black jagged rocks that line both
sides of the strait of Le Maire there
is one in particular which under cer
tain atmospheric conditions bears a
deceptive likeness to a ship The
formation of the rocks and the shad
ows they cast combine to produce the
effect of a bark running under short
sail
The passage through the strait of
Le Maire is not often made Steamers
shorten the route by going through
the strait of Magellan while sailing
vessels usually prefer to be entirely on
the safe side by going still farther
south and rounding the Horn itself
Only under the most favorable condi
tions of weather do they slip through
the strait of Le Maire on the outward
trip going toward the southwest but
never when bound for the north For
this reason many old sailors have
never met the ghost ship or the rock
ship
Those who have seen it give a mi
nute description of the rock and testify
to its striking resemblance to a ship
It seems to be standing head on point
ing to the south and low in the water
The sails are shortened as they would
be in what sailors call half a gale
The whole formation is very dark as
if the hull were painted black and the
sails weather beaten It has three
masts and is higher on the fore than
on the main Upon coming on the side
of the vessel the illusion vanishes and
the whole thing resolves itself Into a
conglomeration of black rocks The
perpetual fog of these regions helps
of course to befuddle the vision
The rock looking like n ship is by no
means a rare natural formation Al
most every sailor has seen one in some
part of the world In the Clipperton
islands there is a great white rock
looking like a three masted schooner
leaning on the wind with her royals
set and the sun shining on her white
sails
About six or seven miles west of
Honolulu there is a rock known ns
French Frigate rock because once
upon a time a French frigate went
ashore on it The cliffs looked so
much like a ship that the frigate was
deceived and thought she was meeting
another vessel
St Paul island in the middle of the
Atlantic is said to look very much like
a ship when approached from a certain
direction but it is a place that mari
ners prefer to give a wide berth Har
