process is shredded and spun into Il
fabric which, although soft to the touch
and piable in extreme. is of so dura-

This is probably what has given an en-
terprising firm the idea Of producing
spun glass dress lengths. The Mueco-

been scores OF 1oted chieftains, none
Of them so We. known. however. as
Deerfoot was from the beginning of the
sixties, when he toured England and os-
tablished himself as the champion pace
maker of the world.
He was siXty-eieht years OF age,
and had been a public figure ever since
he was twenty two. Up to IA month ago
he was in capital condition, and re-
marked to a Buffalo friend at that time,
as he came in. glowing and hearty from
walk of twelve miles: Me sixty
eight years old, but me we'll and can
run yet"
He had been living at Irving, q vii
lage not far from Buffalo Two sons
survive him. He was born on the Cat
tarauRus Reservation. and in hoyhood
was an extraordinary runner. In short
races and in lacrosse he was the wen
der Of his tribe. the Senecas. III the
lntertrlbal races in western New York
forty years ago. he was always first.
He got his name, according TO Indian
tradition. because on one occasion at
least he had outrun a deer, Western
New York was wild at that time, and
big game abounded on every hand. His
real name was Louis Bennett, but by
the world he will always be remem
bered as Deerfoot
Though the figures are not official. II
Is said on excellent authority that he
has ram the mile in four minutes. What
is known as the worlds record" at
the pre- sent time. is minutes and 12a4
seconds. accomplished in 1856 by w, G..
George. of England. and never since
surpassed. At Chicago at one time
Deerfoot beat Il horse running mile
at full tilt
Deerfoot was feet in height. straight
as an arrow, and Of superb physical
proportions. There was not an ounce
Of fat about him from top to toe. His
weight was about 175 pounds. and il
| was all firm muscle. In his time he
must have made good deal of money,
though his estate will not amount to
more than $4,000. He was enormously
successful at exhibitions and on tours.
At twenty-five he toured the country as
a runner, appearing in exhibition races
| and meeting the feet of foot in every
state. He was never outclassed. His
fame was national Several subsequent
tours and series Of exhibitions in va
rious cities only added to the strong
limbed red mans fame.
After having won every honor posi-
BILE en- the American cinder path, he
was taken in hand by an Englishman
| who exhibited his marvellous powers in
! Great Britain. While in that country
! In 1S6162 he won the championship of
the world. His most notable exploit at
this period was the running OF twelve
miles in Sc MINUTES in the presence OF
! Queen Victoria, who presented him
' with Il 500 pearl brooch.
! In his home now there are to be found
| literally hundreds OF medals and relies
that he has wen by his victories. Per
haps the tribute that he cared about
most was a purse OF $3.50 in gold tina,
he received from the Prince of Wales
After 1870 he practically retired from
competitions, and building himself a
house on the Cattaraugus Reservation
lived there to the day of his death
The last time he was seen in public
was at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

HOW ARE YOUR FENCES?

Very Important Question with Farm
ers end others just Now.
Probably there is nothing that inter
ests the land owner more at this time
of the year than fencing. They are de-
sirous Of securing the very best article
they can for the purpose they desire to
use it for and at the cheapest price
going. While this is good business,
price should not take the place OIL
quality. In building a smooth wire
fence you do not build it for temporary
use but expect it to last you for years
and to get this kind of an article 1t
requires certain amount OF good ma
terial to make it,
The De Kalb Fence Co., Of De Kalb,
H., has the largest and most COM
plete line of smooth wire fencing of any
plant in the country. We desire par
iicularly to call your attention to their
goods and write them for catalogue
which they will mail you free.
No line OF goods has grown so rapidly
in demand or given such general salts
faction as the fencing manufactured by
this company. Their steel web picket
fence for lawn and yard purposes. their
cabled field and hog fence for farm use,
their cabled poultry, garden and rabbit
fence for its use. are all they claim for
them.
You will hardly do yourself justice il
you do not thoroughly investigate their
lines before placing your order.

Ing seen some remarkable results from
their use. Reuben Hoover, now of Read
Ing. Pa, was a prominent contractor and
builder. While experimenting the work
OF erecting large building during cold
! weather, he contracted what was thought
to be sciatica. He first noticed it one
morning in not being able to arise from
his bed. After the usual treatment for
this disease he failed to improve, but ON
the contrary grew rapidly worse, the case
developing into Hemiphlegia, or partial
paralysis Of the entire right side OF the
body. Electricity, tonics and massage, etc,
were al given trial, but nothing gave any
benefit, and the paralysis continued. In
despair he was compelled to hear his ply.
