The family and friends of Miss

known that she was to return at this
time.
An Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing that "A Miss Shepard and her
niece. Miss Fraser. both of Montreal.

on the Mohegan, affords some relief to
the friends Of Miss Georgianna Fraser.
Considerable confidence in her safety
will be entertained unless further in
formation should tend TO show that il
is not the Montreal Miss Fraser who
was on the boat.

today that he WAS pretty we'll satisfied

her last letter there was information
concerning her plans which indicated
that in her homeward journey time

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you car
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better
SO that while our profits may be smalle,
on single sale they will be muct
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are Certain
TO be tried and the public will yer,
quickly pass judgment on tn EN- and
use only the better one.

SCARED FACES COMMON.
One DepIorabIe Effect of Bicycle Rid
ing Now Seen in Many
Women.

One effect of the extended use of
the bicycle" said the hotel physician,
is seen in the greatly increased num-
bel of facial scars. Twenty years ago
a woman with a cicatrice was rarity.
Now she has become almost common.
In this hotel, for instance, there are
not less than 20 who have scars large
and small produced by tumbles. Not
infrequently you find one with dis
figuring red line running from chin to
eye. These injuries are seldom dam
gerous, but they Leave their traces.
nor has any doctor wise enough to
prevent the scars been found. This is
rough on the girls. A woman's skin
seems to scar more easily than man 5
and even q scratch will somet times
leave scar. Then they have no boards
to hide the jagged seams. Our most
reckless riders are women. Many of
them go at breakneck speed and they
pay no attention to the rules of the
road. Then again, when they become
involved in difficulties with other bicy-
clists or with vehicles they almost in
variabIy lose their heads and do the
things they should notdo. For these ea-
sons, healing lotions, skin medicines, the
finest of needles, silver thread and
such things form a large part Of every
hotel physicians equipment. Az to
the men, nobody pays any attention to
them and their facial scars do not
amount to anything. Very few of
them marry, or are popular with wom-
en-, because they are pretty. Indeed,
most of them are rather proud of
broad, red seam or two, speaking of
dangers mast. 1t looks martial, don't
you know. \ fellow may have had his
cheek cut open by butting against
lamp post, but when it is healed he
likes to ride slowly through the parks
and have the girls look after him and
wonder if the injury was not inflicted
by the saber of a Spanish officer. A
man who has his nose broken simply
puts a shield over it and goes ahead
earning living. A woman who has
her nose broken would much rather
be dead All women's wheels should
be made with a speed limit of four
miles an hour."--Chicago Chronicle.

TURNS BLACK AT DEATH.
The Terrible Fate of a Texas Boy
Who Had Been Bitten by
Blind RattIesnake.

After living more than two years in
agony and gradually turning as black
as a negro, Adolph Kessner died re-
Gently in San Antonio, aged % years.
He was poisoned by rattlesnake's
bite. The boy was of the blond Ger
man type and unusually fair, but at
the time of his death his skin was
close to ebony in color.
His father owns San Pedro springs,
a suburban resort. 1t is of billy and
rocky ground and the chaparral there
about is thickly populated with rattle
snakes. From a child young Kessner
had shown a peculiar animosity to
these reptiles and hunted them indus
triously. He seemed to have no fear
of them whatever. When he got older
he took to SHINING them when dead
and curing their hides, and at one
time he had some hundreds Of the
skins in the house. Eight years ago he
sold them to man who wished to
make cravats of them. Since then he
had disposed of many other skins. He
had never before been bitten.
His met killing them was pc
culiar. He Used no weapon. When he
found snake coiled ready for it's
spring he would throw a stick at it and
irritate it into leaping. Then he
would coolly mash the reptiles head
with his heel. He said that he got no
satisfaction from shooting them or
staying them with a club.
The rattlesnake goes blind in July
for a little while and is at that time
especially venomous. In July, 1895,
Kessner found large one near his ia
theirs house and stamped it as usual.
He seized it bye the tail and started
into the house to show it to his father.
The snake was not quite dead. It
twisted in his hand, it's mangled head
came in contact with his right thigh,
near the hip, and it buried it's fangs
in his flesh The wound was treated
with ammonia, the young man drank
lot of whisky and apparently was
little the worse for the bte. Ten
days afterward the skin around the
wound began to darken and in little
while was BRUSH black. This shade
extended over his body and up and
down his limbs. It assembled to his
neck and thence to his face. For
awhile the lower part of his face was
black and the remainder white. When
Kessner died the black shade had as
ceBded to the roots of his hair, and but
for his aquiline features he would
have been taken at first glance for a
negro. During all of this time he was
tormented with raclling pains in his
limbs, similar to rheumatic twinges,
and was also troubled with insomnia.
The pains grew worse as time went
on, and just before his death they were
almost MISUNDERSTANDING Chron-
icle.

Prosperity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good Judgment make the foundation
upon which a man builds well. The
first start in life of many of our great
men has been upon a farm. Opportu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
cOnSin adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen
trail Lines are still to be had at very
reasonable figures and on easy terms.
Build Il home of your own and be
happy.
