TITE NORTII PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THIS IN DHED TD SEE MIGHT GOME Was So Restless He Couldn't Sleep and Daylight Was Always Welcome. "With the exception of n little milk tonst, which comprised my diet for moro than eight weeks, I could not eat' anything," said Cnpt. Geo. W. Womble, residing at 105 Jennings St., Kuoxvtllc, Tenn., n highly respected citizen of that city. "I am now able," continued Captain Womble, "after tnking two bottles of Tanlac, to eat practically anything. I had a bad form of stomach and In testinal trouble for a long time and for months my condition had4 been such that I suffered agony. I got soj i coum not ent the simplest food. I 'tried doctor after doctor and nil kinds of medicine, but nothing that was pre scribed for me seemed to do mo any good. I had n terrlblo pain in my breast Just over my heart and for weeks and weeks I got no relief. ( "I finally got so nervous tjiat I ac tually dreaded to see night come, as I could not sleep, and was always so restless that I would rejoice to see daylight come. I was also constipated all of the time. In fnct, life seemed a burden and I was so miserable that I was almost on the verge of despair. Several of my neighbors told mo about Tanlac and advised mo to try It. "I am personally acquainted with -Mr. Dan M. Cliambllss, of tho firm of Kuhlman & Chambliss and when I told him of my condition and how I suf fered ho advised me to begin taking Tanlac without delay and that It had relieved hundreds of tho best people In Knoxville. I have now tnken two bottles of Tanlac and am giving you this testimonial In the hope that it may induco others to take It. Since tnking this medicine I actually feel like T had been made all over again with tho youth, energy and ambition of a sixteen-year-old boy." Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.

The S4:ar S d a n 1 P B anner Oh, say, can you sea, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'or the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bomb's bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh, ay, does that star-spangled ban- . ner yet ware Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host In dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, , As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first' beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the streamj 'Tis the star-spangled banner; oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave t Remembered Debt to Lafayette Whether you have been there or are planning to go, here's a story of Val ley Forge you will want to remember. I give It as it was told by a writer In Our Dumb Animals: The incident I am about to relate oc curred in 1824, during Lafayette's last visit to this country. Forty years had passed since his promise to Washing ton to return as his guet He ,Was now nearly 70 years old, but his heart beat as warmly for his adopted coun try as In those earlier days when ho had fought for Its liberties. A brilliant reception was under way. A slowly moving lino of stately guests passed by Lafayette, who greeted each with courtly grace. Presently there ap proached an old soldier, clad in a worn Continental uniform. In his hand was nn ancient musket, and across his shoulder was thrown a small blanket, or rather a ptece of a blanket. On reaching the marquis the vet eran drew himself up in the stlfffash lon of the old-time drill and gave the military salute. As Lafayette made the return signal, tears started' to his eyes. The tattered uniform, the ancient flintlock, the silver-haired sol dler, even older than himself, recalled tho dear past. "Do you know mo?" asked the sol dier. "No, I cannot say that I do," was the frank reply. "Do you remember the frosts and snows of Valley Forge?" "I shall nevor forget them," nn swerd Lafayette. "One bitter night, general, you weife going the rounds at Valley Forge. You came upon a sentry In thin clothing and without stockings. He wns slowly freezing to death. You took his gun, saying: 'Go to my hut. There you will find stockings, a blanket and a fire. After warming yourself bring the blanket to me. Meanwhile I will keep guard.' "Tho soldier obeyed. When he re turned to his post, you, Generul La fayette, cut the blanket In two. One half you kept; tho other you. present ed to the sentry. Here, general, Is one half of that blanket, for I am the ben try whoso life you saved." 6 i led And where are the foes that so Taunt ingly swore That the havoc of war and the bat tle's confusion ' A home and country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave 'From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave And the star-spangled banner in tri umph doth wave O'er the land of the free and tho home of the brave. Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation, Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land Praise tho Power that hath made and preserved us-a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto "In God is our trust I" And the star-spangled banner in tri umph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. The Spirit f 1 776 Some 140 years ago, In whnt was then the nucleus of the United States, every man and boy owned a musket nnd knew how to use It. They were skilled In woodcraft, knew their own country nnd could bring down any game within range with one shot. Yet In all the terrible years of the Revolutionary war it took 2S0.O0O of them to defeat 150,000 Invaders. The British could not shoot as, well and neither did they possess the spirit of tho American colonist, who was fighting for his home and his convic tions. - But they were organized I They were trained! Organization and training, brought over 8,000 miles of sen, kept them go ing In n strange nnd hostile country where, they were greatly outnumbered by tho inhnbltantn and enabled them to remain there for eight years I Individually, the Colonials were better fighting meo than tho redcoats; collectively, they were not With 75,000 trained nnd equipped men half the British number Wash ington might hnvo vanquished the In vaders ns quickly as their regiments were lnnded. Given equal training and equipment with the British, and their spirit nnd knowledge of the coun try and of marksmanship would huve done tho rest. At the Utmost, it is unlikely that It would have required more thnn two years. But Instead Washington had "rag ged Continentals," half starved, loosely organized, and equipped with practi cally only what they could furnish thenfselves. Should Be Commemorated. Independence day lives In tho hearts of the people, rather than In specta cles. It Is recognized and observed in spirit, whether there are parades or fireworks or pageants of uny kind. It requires no noisy demonstration to keep It active as an Influence for good citizenship. And yet it is good for tho people to get together on that duy and commemorate It in some fashion, to utilize It as a stimulus to their best sentiment. Are You Human? A littlo baby. A little oliild. tion't tliey appeal to you? Doesn't your heart yearn to pick them up, to ouddle them close to you, to shield them from" all harm? sure it does else you'ro not human. Being human you lovo them. Their very helplessness makes you reach out in all your strength to aid them. In health there's no flowor so beautiful. In illness there's no night so "black.

A certain British ndmlnil tolls nn amusing story of an explosive old sea man under whom ho served many years ago. During some tactical operations one of tho ships of the squadron hud mado some bad blunders, and at last tho admirnl lost his temper. He stormed about the quarter-decK. and informed his heurers of his opinion of the olllcer In command of tho err ing ship. When he paused at last for, want of brenth, he turned tp tho signaler and said, "And you can tell htm that, sir." Tho man scratched his head medi tatively.
