still, every year numbers OF persons
arc bitten by Skunks ON the plains east of
The Rocky mountains and west OF the With
meridian, and some cases prove fatal, but
I am inclined 70 think that there are
fewer deaths from skunk bites now than
there used 10 be Since The country has
practically been turned into one vast cat
tie range, the poisonous little beasts have
been killed off TO some extent for their
skins, and the fact that they are hunted

also, their bite is less venomOus than In
days of indiscriminate buffalo slaughter
ut is now about twenty years since the
cowboy of the Texas Panhandle made his
famous ride for life. He was bitten by a
skunk while sleeping by his camp fire and
realized all his danger. Some of his com
panions remembered 70 have heard that
800 miles away, in a town of Eastern
Kansas, there lived the owner of u famous
maidstone" reputed to possess the power
of drawing the poison from wounds made
by snakes or rabid animals. Night and
day the cowboy rode at full speed for this
town and safety. At every ranch where
he halted he found will
ing exchange of a fresh horse
for his tired animal, and his Journey was
tireless. II was n race for life, and he
won, He reached his destination on the
third day, the maidstone" was applied TO
the wound, and, after adhering for days,
at last fell OFF and would stick no longer,
and the owner of the stone pronounced
him cured, Whether through this treat
ment or from natural causes the wound
healed with no further trouble, and he
returned to his herding in the Panhandle
with firm faith in the maidstone and the
thankfulness of one who has escaped a
horrible death"
