He Read the Law to Them.

Not long ago two young ladies who
are experts on their wheels and wear
the bloomer costume took a spin away
off in the country. After several hours
riding they came to a farmers place
and being very thirsty dismounted for
a drink. Smilingly they took down the
bars and walked towards the farm
house. Before they reached the house,
however, the wne Of the premises met
them and asked what they wanted. "A
drink of water, please" "Well, you
can't have no water here; women, as
wears those things amt no good and
I don't want them chasing around my
place. You git away from here jist
as fast as you can leg it," said the
%chivalrous gentleman, "or I'll call my
G4g, and if he comes he'll come run
nin'.'
The young women saw there was no
chance for argument and SO rode right
on till they got home, with, their
tongues almost p%rotruding with thirst
for they couldn't sum up the necessary
courage to ask for a drink anywhere
else and they're hardly owe their as
tonishment yet.-Exchange.s

Dark Side of Country Journallsm.

"a paper with a lust for political
sspoils," says the Chicago Timcs-Herald,
Cannot be a true tribune of the peo-
pie" Just so, and still out here in
the wind-swept and sun-dried plains
of South Dakota a paper isn't popular
with any political party, nor even with
the masses, unless it reaches QUITO
share the spoi1s Of "busy medd1ers
with intrigues of state" There are ex-
changes coming to the Freeman Office
that could not survive the chill of a No
vember night were it not for the ILL
gotten pap paid them. to assist cheap
John officials into Office, who they know
will bleed the people by hook or crook
to pay for such support. When the
readers and patrons of newspapers de-
mand nothing but independent journal
ism, with no lust for political spoils,
then and then only will there be an
end to the scapegoat state official

YSFsrsY f6m sessss'

SniY6fSrs from EIf 6.sesss
Withfnsthe pastlfew months the medic
zeal fraternity OF SansRafael.s Cal, have
been carefully studying and expert,
menting with the case OF Miss Jessie
sProudfoot. who insthe early part Of last
summer had al narrow escape from ace
cidental cremation. AS it was. her
clothing, which had caught fire, was
consumed on her back and the skin
and flesh on the right side Of. her body.
was badly burned. For many days the
life Of the girl was despaired Of and
eve when danger OF Immediate death
was averted it was thought nothing.
could be done to prevent her from be
coming a cripple. Where the fire had
touched the body the skin had peeled
off in large flakes in many places, leay-s
ing the raw, inflamedy flesh exposed.
Should this heal up of its ownaaccord,
which would be a very slow process, Is
the doctors unanimously agreed, the
tissues would sc contract that one OF the
girls limbs would e:much shorter than
the other. Besides this there was the
absolute certainty that she would. suffer
pain continuously. At this junctnre
DR.. W. F. Jones resolved to try the yir-
tue Of grating. Repeated but unsucs-
cessful attempts we're made with the
skins of rabbits and other animals.
Then DR.. Jones and two of his medical
brethren decided that the sufferer had
just one more chance. Human cuticle,
could it be obtained, would grow onf.the
raw flesh, scar tissues would form nat
urally, and the patient would be sure
of regaining full use Of her limbs. The
only trouble they foresaw vas the diff
Guilty Of getting healthy people to make
such a sacrifice. On communicating their
wish to Miss Proudfoot's family, the
doctors were surprised and gratified to
find that no less than sever near rela-
tives at once offered themselves to the
knife in order to ave the 12-year-old
girl they all loved so we'll. This was
over two months ago. In that time
pieces of skin have been stripped from
all these relatives, the size varying
from a half to an inch and a half in
width and from four to five inches in
length. These living strips, tingling
with nerves, were placed OF the ten
der flesh of the sufferer and bound
firmly in place with rubber tissue, and
in every instance the gratis have been
successful. All the portions of Miss
Prcudfoot's body touched by the flames
have been covered over with the skin
of her relatives except one patch on the
right hip. This will be attended to some
time early in December and DR.. Jones
states that judging from the progress
made in the other gratis, it will not be
long before Miss Proudfoot is as we'll
and as free limbed Is ever. The stuff
erer, seemingly doomed to be a cripple
for life, will soon be up and about, a
flesh and blood monument to the de-
votion and self-sacrifice of her nearest
of kin.

There is more than one food
which will cause the body to
increase in weight. A free
supply Of sugar will do this;
SO will the starchy foods;
cream, and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain in poor health, is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil

it is a fat-producing food. But
