Impoverished soil, like impov
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analvz
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. It may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need a concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi
lated as
Scott’s Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil
It will nourish and strengthen
the body when milk and cream
fail to do it. Scott’s Emulsion
is always the same; always
palatable and always beneficial
where the body is wasting from
any cause, either in children
or adults.
We will send you a sample free.
Be sure that this pic
ture in the form of a
label is on the wrapper
of every bottle of Emul
sion you buy.

Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight
to see a mother, with babe in arms,
coughing violently and exhibiting all
the symptoms of a consumptive ten
dency. And why should this danger
ous condition exist, dangerous alike to
mother and child, when Dr. Bochee’s
German Syrup would put a stop to it
onceV No mother should be without
this old and tried remedy in the house
—for its timely use will promptly cure
any lung, throat or bronchial trouble
in herself or her children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured by
German Syrup; so can hoarseness and
congestion of the bronchial tubes. It
makes expectoration easy, and gives
instant relief and re-freshing rest to
the cough-racked consumptive. New
trial bottles, 25c; large size, 75c. At
all druggists.

When the lecturer assigned to me
the task of speaking to the memory of
DeSoto, his plans and purposes, his
explorations and exploits, 1 little
thought of the moment and magni
tude of this vast undertaking; as 1
thought it was a dry subject and one
bereft of all interesting features to
the present times and people here. 1
had read that he was a soldier of
fortune and did not amount to much—
that his life was a selfish and sordid
one. Some authors painted him as a
combination of the restless, roving ex
plorer, the freebooter on land and a
pirate on the high seas. So you may
imagine my pleasing surprise when,
after a thorough investigation, J
found, instead, that he was one of the
world’s benefactors, whose noble deeds
has made mankind his debtor. 1
could not find a life of him nor even a
decent, well written biography of this
great man in town, and so I did the
best 1 could. And if the little data
1 have here, gleaned from the purusal
of two cyclopedias and the writings
of Hawthorne, Bancroft, Irving and
Prescott will only interest you sutli
ciently to enthuse one single mind
to the point of doing justice to this
great Spaniard I will be amply re
warded for the time spent.
4.UV1V ” Vi V (jlVUU VI » lllt-VU
nations on this American continent
when the Spaniards came over—the
Astics in tiie north (Mexico) and tiie
Incas in the south (Peru and Chili).
History knows comparitively little of
those two ancient and highly civilized
peoples, as tiie white man burned and
destroyed all records and traces of
their past life and times, their origin
and development, hence we know
nothing of them before tiie conquest
and so tiie field of the antiquarian is
almost a total blank.
Tusco was the chief city of the
Incas, and the Inca name of Peru was
Tavanhuxuya, signifying four
quarters of tiie world, and the king
dom or empire was divided into four
equal parts, eacli distinguished by a
separate and appropriate name or title
of its own, and to each of which ran a
great, well kept public highway of
solid masonry, diverging from the
capital city. It is said that the roaa
between Cuzco and Quito and running
thence to Chili was the very best in
the world’s history, not even except
ing the famed Appean way of Rome.
Rut we know the military policies
and government of the two peoples
were vastly different. In dealing
with other people the Astics were
ferocous and cruel and carried on a war
of extermination, signalizing their
triumphs by the sacrifice of haticombs
of human captives; while the Incas,
perhaps as fond of coquest, preferred
a milder policy, substituting intrigue
and negotiation for violence, and
dealt with conquered foes so that
their future resourses should not be
crippled and that they should come
into the great empire not as foes but
as friends. The Mexican vassels were
ground down by the worst forms of
oppression, only limited by the power
of human endurance. There was no
regard paid to their welfare. The
Inca on the other hand admitted their
new and conquored subjects at once to
all the rights enjoyed by the rest of
tiie community, and so solidified the
empire’s motely population by a bond
of personal, provincial and national in
interests. Now a word for the terri
tory in which the Incas lived. If you
take a map and look at Ecuador,
Peru, Bolivia and Chili, I think it
covers the ground sufficiently well
which at that time contained the
western hemesphere’s three most
noted objects—the richest mines, the
most polished and forward civilization
and the greatest ruler of men, viz, the
Copper mountains, the Incas and the
Emperor Autohalpa. This was the
country and now the time—1532—for
Francisco Pizarro, the world’s most
natural soldier and leader of m6n, to
appear on the scence and in company
with Hernando He Soto, the subject
of this sketch, to undertake the con
quest of that vast empire, which they
successfully did with an army of 180 in
fantry and 27 horse, and they raised
the standard of Spain on the walls of
the Inca cities and called the new
possessions by the present name Peru.
You may object to my calling Pizarro
the world’s most natural soldier and
leader of men, but you will no longer
do so if you read W. II. Prescott’s
“Peru” and keep in mind the fact
that he (Pizarro) could neither read nor
write. He was the neglected and dis
owned natural son of a colonel of
infantry in the Spanish service. Both
Pizarro and He Soto served under
Cortez in his brilliant conquest of
Mexico. It is needless to follow these
two historic persons, or landmarks of
that time, through the Inca wars to
the storming of Cuzco and the sacking
of the holy city; sutticit to say it was
He Soto himself who captured the
illustrous Incan emperor and it-was
he, too, who had the courage of his
convictions and the Stirling humanity
to rebuke Pizarro, his chief, for the
murder of the Emperor Autohalpa in
his (He Soto’s) absence. “You have
acted rashly,” said He Soto, “Auto
halpa has been basely slandered; there
was no enemy at Huamachuco, no
rising among the natives. I’ve met
with nothing but good will and all
was quiet. If it was necessary to
bring the Inca to trial lie should have
been taken to Castile and judged by
his peer, the emperor. 1 would have
pledged my life to see him safe on
board the vessel.”
Tiiis speech provoked the ire of
l'izarro and so began a fued between
the two chiefs which grew apace and
only ended after the battle of Vilca
coopa, where De Soto gained a decis
ive victory over the Incas, after which
he tendered Ids resignation of his
commission to Pizarro. He did so for
another reason that he might be
able to go in quest of, find and
conquor another Mexico or Peru.
You may ask, Who was DeSoto,
anyway? And this is just what I am
striving to tell, so I’ll now give you
the answer of the International
Cyclopedia: “Hernando De Soto—born
149(1 and died 1542—was one of the
early explorers of North America, and
distinguished himself, when young, in
literary studies and athletic exercises.
In 1519 lie accompanied Pendracious
Davilla, ’his patron, to tile Ismus of
Darian and was a most daring and
independent opponent of the tyranical
rule of that otllcer who was afterwards
the governor of Darian. Leaving
Davilla’s service in 1528 he explored
the coast of Guatemala and Yucatan
seeking for a supposed water commun
ication or channel between the
Atlantic ana i/acinc oceans. in i->.>_
he was in Pizarro’s expedition for the
coquest of Peru and used all his in
fluence to prevent the Spanish butch
er from murdering the Peruvian king. ”
Having amassed a fortune, De Soto
returned to Spain and married Da
villa’s beautiful daughter. In 1536
he was moved by the reports of the
new found Eldorado and undertook
the conquest of Florada. lie sailed
in April, 1538, with 20 officers, 24
priests and 600 men. May, 1539, lie
landed at Tampa bay and followed the
tracks of Navarez, a former Spanish
invader. In July his ships were sent
back to Havana, and the next year,
1540, he worked slowly northward,
having many conflicts with the
Indians. His second winter was
spent in the Chickasaw country.
These Indians, in the spring, burned
his camp and their own villages be
cause he attempted to force them to
carry his baggage, and 40 of his men
were burnt to death. After several
day’s marching, mainly through
swamps, he reached the queenly Miss
issippi in June, 1541, and was the first
European or white man who ever
looked upon that mighty river’s turbed
waters. He constructed barges and
crossed over, marching to the head
watersof the White river, the western
limit of his explorations, turning
south and passing the hot springs of
Arkansas, he passed his third winter
on the Washita river and, in spring,
moved down stream to the Mississippi
and was marching along that majestic
river towards the ocean when he was
striken with fever and died, in either
May or June. To keep the knowledge
of his death from the natives, his
body was sunk during the night in
the middle of the river. IIis wife
died at Havana on the third day after
hearing the news of his sad fate and
end.

conquest of Florida lie was governor
of Cuba, where lie left his wife in
Havana to govern till his return,
thinking only of future success and
that all would go well to that end.
His purposes and plans were of a three
fold nature, viz., discovery, conquest
and colonization; but unfortunately
his followers were chiefly cavaliers and
adventurers, and, therefore, poorly
litted and equipped for the methodic,
plodding life of successful colonists.
Before the deatli of this great man
the whole expedition was reduced to
the extreme point of want and starve
tion. Their clothing was matts of
bulrushes held together by the bark
and lint of trees, but the proud spirit
of I)e Soto buoyed them on and pre
vented their return home till they
could do so under the auspices of suc
cess. Few people are aware that this
intrepid, brave and daring explorer
penetrated as far nortli as the present
states of Missouri and Illinois, and it
will be news to others that he planned
settlements in Florida, Louisiana,
Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia,
and in fact laid the foundation of a
colony at Ociius, now Pensacola.
Some writers call him a tyrant and
say his disposition was cruel and
harsh, but such is not the fact of
truth. Towns and communities are
not called after tyrants, and we know
they are called after and named in
honor of the good He Soto, who died
in poverty and rags but without a
a stain on his great and glorious
career. He Soto did many grand and
noble things in the 40 years of his life,
but his greatest achievement was the
discovery of the Mississippi river,
which is now and always must remain
his glory, his grave and his monu
ment. John J. McCalferty.
