"Good again. That will keep tho

That's elegant. A cellar with a
natural earth bottom can always
be depended on for sour smells,
and n without a drain helps
along fever. Lots of shrubbery

"Oh. yes; you can hardly see the

Exactly. That keeps roofs and
walls damp, and you can depend on
malaria. Pig-sty and barn handy to the

Yes, only a few rods away"
Every nice-very. You can rely on
the odors, and perhaps the well water
is improved by the percolations. Ever

Yes, it is a nice wooden one"

there are any box-drains around to

over the table. ''let the nurse drop
him put of the window-Dush him
down the back stairs-get him run

them will save you time and money"

Caieme, the Yaqui Chief.

While the world is wondering at the
singular success which has placed Ell
Mehdl on the barbaric throne OF the
Soudan, Mexico has apparently found
her mehdi in the person of Jose Marie
Cajeme, who holds a scepter of terror
over Sonora as the Mohammedan
chieftain does over the Soudan. Ca
jeme, chief of the Yaqui and Moyo
Indians, was born in 1912, in the tiny
town of Torn, on the banks of the
silent Yaqui river, which creeps to the
Pacific from Sonora's heart of forests.
