Twenty Mile with the man tied to his
saddle and his pony nervously snort
ing. And now the day was done. and
the man lay in the earth, and they
had even built fence round him, for
the hole was pretty shallow, and
coyotes have way of smelling this
sort of thing long way off when they
are hungry, and the man was not in
coffin. They were always short of cof-
fms in Arizona.
Day was done at Twenty Mile, and
the customary activity prevailed in
side that fat-roofed cube of mud.
Sounds of singing, shooting, dancing
and Mexican tunes on the concertina
came ont of the windows hand in
hand, to widen and die among the
hills. timber, pretty boy, who might
be nineteen, was dancing energetical-
ly, while grave old gentleman, with
tobacco running down his beard,
pointed pistol at the boys heels, and
shot a hole in the earth now and then
to show that the weapon was real
ly loaded. Everybody was quite
used to all this-excepting the boy.
He was an eastern new conner, passing
his first evening at place of enter
tainment.
On this particular evening they had

body ever paid for his. They had
played cards with him, stolen his
spurs, and now they were making him
dance. 1t was an ancient pastime; yet
two or three were glad to stand round
and watch it, because it was some
time since they had been to the opera.
Now the tenderfoot had misunder-
stood these friends at the beginning,
supposing hi mself to be among good
fellows, and they tn erefore naturally
set him down as a fool. But even
while dancing you may learn much,
and suddenly. The boy, besides being
timber, had good tough black hair,
and it was not in fear, but with cold
blue eye, that he looked at the old
gentleman. The trouble had been
that his own revolver had somehow
hitched, so he could not pull it from
the holster at the necessary moment.

the old gentleman. "Step higher!

The Rough Bark of Trees,

The practical cultivator understands
that nature makes provision for getting
rid Of the bark Of trees as the trunk in:
creases in size. On the growth of the
past season may be seen small olive
spots. These are formations Of cork.
From year to year, in subsequent devel.
opment, these little patches spread, real.
~ eating their way through the ba1k.
This is the provision which nature
makes for finally rifting the bark in
each species of plant. These cork cells
have their own special lines of develop
ment, and this is the reason why each
kind of tree has its own particular bark.
The characteristics are so prominent
that clever observers can select different
kinds Of trees by their bark even al
midnight. AS it is the evident inten-
ton of nature to get rid Of old bark, it
is a great help to the tree to assist ma.
ture in this respect, and any washes or
treatment which aids the plant in get
ting rid Of it is practical advantage.
Soapy water washes or lye water is use
full, and even scraping has been found
OF great advantage. In rough sort of
way, lime wash is frequently used, the
only objection being the white and glar-
ing color. It is, however, the cheapest
and the best of all bark treatment

SMALL BULLET WOUNDS.
The Deadly Effects of Modern Projectiles
~. Upon the Human Body.

- Upon the Human Body.
The celebrated English surgeon, Pro-
fessor Victor Horsley, read a very in
teresting paper before the Royal insti-
tuition on the effect of modern small
projectiles. In the course Of his remarks
he said: ''Some people seem to think
that small bullet at a very high speed
will pierce the tissues Of the body with
out doing much general damage. This,
however, is erroneous. The bullet hur-
ries forward with it particles of the
substance through which it is passing,
and thus practically becomes a larger
projectile. II a bullet be fired through
a book, it cuts out disks Of increasing
diameter as it traverses the pages.
Hence, too, it is plain that the greater
the sectional area the greater the dam
age. AS to the heating Of the bullet, it
has certainly been much exaggerated,
and its effects, if indeed it has any,
may be safely neglected.
THE physical constitution Of a body
has most important bearing upon the
behavior Of a bullet entering it. Why
does bullet OF certain size and travel
ing at certain rate simply perforate
some substances, such as wood or iron,
while in others, such as clay, brain,
etc., it exercises a bursting and disrup-
tive action? The answer is quite SIM
pie; the destructive effects vary direct
ly as the viscosity Of the body.
''This was established by some remark
able researches on the effects of bullets
on soft tissues made by Huguier after
he had observed the results of the
wounds inflicted in the fighting in Paris
in 1848. He suggested, from observa-
tions made on certain dead organs, such
as lungs, that the reason Of the great
lateral disturbance was that the tissues
contained water in large quantity, and
that the energy of the moving projec-
tile being impaired to the particles of
water caused the dispersion Of these in
a hydro dynamic fashion.
'This suggestion was shown to be cor
rect by Kocher in 1916. If a shot be
fired through two tin canisters Of equal
size, the one full Of dry lint and the
other Of wet, it will simply perforate
the former, but cause the latter to burst
explosively. In the same way shots fired
into dough have more or less descriptive
effect, according to the percentage Of
water in the dough, and in general the
more fluid the substance the greater the
destruction.
CHOW, in life the brain is more OF
less fluid body, though in state of rigo1
mortis it is practically solid, owing
to coagulation of the blood and proto,
plasm. Hence a shot fired into the
skull must have descriptive effect and
tend to burst it. -

a Schoolteacher Executes the Fire Drill to
Accept a Proposal of Marriage.
Miss Isabel McGallon was a teacher
in a public school. She had a young
man friend who WAS nervous and diff
dent. She knew that he was in love
with her, but every time he started to
propose he stammered and suffered and
became so embarrassed that she felt
obliged to change the subject.
The young man realized his failing
and was much humiliated thereby.
Night after night he went up to Miss
McGallon's house, determined to ask
her if she would not consent to give up
teaching school and become his wife, and
night after night he made frost Of the
operation. One day he was passing along
the street on which the school in which
Miss McGallon teaches is situated, and
he felt that if he could see the object of
his alteration at that time he would
have nerve enough to ask the momen-
tous question. He thought the matter
over and became firmly convinced that
he was equal to the emergency. There
was nothing to do then but try the ex-
pertinent, and he walked boldly into
the school and asked to see Miss Nc

Unsuspected Sources of Disease.

Recent investigations have brought
out the, fact that there are many cases
OF severe neuralgia caused by abnormal
conditions of the nasal passages. In
several instances there have been found
enlargements of the bony structure or
hard Jumps of diseased tissue pressing
against certain nerves and causing the
most excruciating pain. Removal Of
these has resulted in complete cure,
although there have been returns of the
growths after the first operation. Per.
sons who habitually suffer from pains
In the head should have their conditions
carefully diagnosed. Long continued
suffering not infrequently brings about
protracted and incurable mental and
nervous disorders. New York Ledger.

A Story With Resonant Moral.

Young men ought not to play poker
or old men, for that mater-at any time,
and when poker is played in business
hours the Nervousness Of the act is fla
grant. So when President Warren Elliott
of the Wilmington and Weldon railway
came unexpectedly upon group of his
young men. playing poker, with coffee
beans for chips, the other day, he &C.
cepted their explanation that there was
no work on hand and the game was
lust for amusement. At some remote
period Of his existence Mr.. Elliott had
been initiated into the intricacies of the
game, and SO he drew up chair and
watched it with interest. Each young
man had in front Of him a pile Of coffee
beans, which, as they We're careful to
explain to the president, were Of no
value whatever. AS matter of fact,
they had been bought Of the banker for
IS cents each. The president of the
road watched the game with mild in
terest and from time to time absently
helped himself to a pinch of beans from
the different piles on the table, masti-
eating them with the Indifferent air Of
a man who knew that unground coffee
was only 40 cents pound. The an
guish of the young men, who saw their
chips melt away, was poignant, but no.
body dared to explain. When the presi-
dent had consumed all the beans in
sight, he said good night in the most
affable way and went off with an inno-
cent smile on his rosy, cheerful face.
The gentleman who kept the bank and
had no chips to redeem is now a warm
admirer Of the president.-New York
