AMOUNTED WITH OIL.
guents for Suppleness, beauty
and Health.

1t was the custom among the athletes
and the gladiators of old to anoint the
body with oils. And as the olive grew
upon the sunny Etruscan hills and on
the slopes of greater and lesser
Greece, as it does to-day, it is probable
that the luxurious idlers in the baths
of Caracalla used for amounting their
bodies olive oil tinctured with oriental
perfumes. AS for the Roman athletes,
they were in the habit of using the
freshly expressed oil of the olive to give
agility and suppleness to their limbs.
Some of the greatest beauties of
whom history babbles have also been
prone to the use of oil. Nine. Recamier
was in the habit of partalling freely Of
olive oil with her food and used it also
after the bath. Her beautiful skin and
clear complexion were doubtless due
to this rather than to powders or
paints dabbed upon her with a brush
or a powder puff, as modern patent
medicine vendors would have many
women believe. Tradition says that
both Cleopatra and zenobia partool1
freely of olive oil and used oils as in
unctions after the bath
In the countries where the olive
hourishes, such as Italy, medical prac-
titioners use the oil very freely for a
host of ailments. Fever patients are
sometimes soothed in Italy by copious
inunctions of olive oil. tits maintained
in the Levantine countries that the use
of oil externally prevents rheumatism,
gout and other kindred maladies which
are aggravated by external chills, and
that the internal use of the oil removes
the toxic condition of the blood, which
leads to the generation of these mala-
dies.-San Francisco Argonaut.

$50 next morning Reuben Pettiboae
took the wolf dog down to Uncle Shift
locks.
'Shiftlock,' said he, you had better
take this dog where you got him and
get your township rights in the patent
hog-ringer back. And before you go
you might hand me back my $3.50
"'What for?' said Uncle Shiftlock,
looking surprised.
"Then Reuben Pettibone related the
adventures of the night and berated the
dog soundly to Uncle Shiftlock
You said this dog would tussle
wolves so that I'd feel like falling on his
neck with joy said Reuben. Instead
of that l feel like falling on his neck
with an AK You've been deceived,
Shiftlock,' said he.
"'Wait a minute, Reuben, said Uncle
Shiftlock. What did l tell you about
that dog? I told you to just let that
dog hunt wolves once and he'd tussle
'em till you'd feel like falling on his
neck with joy, didn't ~
That's what you said, Shiftlocl1,'
said Reuben Pettibone, and I'll take

I said just let that dog hunt wolves,
Reuben said Uncle Shiftlock That's
what said, and you didn't do it. You
let the wolves hunt the dog, and he
wasn't broke for that, I'll have to keep
the three fifty, Reuben
"And Reuben Pettibone, rejoicing
that his brother Shiftlock had not been
deceived in the patent rights trade, let
him keep the three fifty, Not only that,
! but he invested a little more in the
wolf dog. 1t was a few grains of pow

tearing along in the wake of the dog.
My remarkable father had planned all
right, but he hadn't counted on the tao
tics of his dog, When the dog came
around that time he discovered the
crack in the door and made a dive for
it. He squeezed his way through, col
lided with Reuben Pettibone, tumbled
him on his back on the floor, and sprang
on the bed in the corner. The two
wolves came right on through the door,
trampled all over Reuben Pettibone,
and followed the dog on the bed. Reu-
bn jumped to his feet and put bullet
through one of the wolves, and, as my
remarkable father used to chucke and
say, that wolf took no more interest in
the evenings entertainment
Reuben had kicked the door shut
in scrambling to his feet, and his APP
pearance with the gun made a change
in the calculations of the remaining
wolf. This wolf made a dash for the
window. He sent the glass flying, but
the sash held, and he tumbled back into
the room. Before he had time for an
other move, Reuben Pettibone put a
bullet through him, and that wolf never
knew what hit him. Having disposed
of the wolves, Reuben turned his at
tention to the dog. The dog had
crawled under the bed, and from the
way he whined and shook and declined
to come out, Reuben Pettibone couldn't
come to any other conclusion than that
the dog was scared.
'Shiitlock has been stuck in that
dicker, sure as meat axesl said he. j
must take this dog back and tell him so.
TIN never do to waste patent hog ringer
rights on such a dogas this!'

"F1ow gently. sweet Afton'-oh. come back
to me
with Arabys Daughter, the Banks o the
Dee,
And many a ballad now caroled no more.
Forgotten and wrecked on oblivion's
shore
As mother once sang them; no more
shall hear
Her accents, now silent this many year;
Yet lives In her memory Of boyhood's
bright days
''Flow gently, sweet Alton. among thy
green braes."
'Flow gently, sweet Afton"-oh, could
once more
Lie under the naples that shaded the door
And see their boughs lifted by each pass
Entranced by earth's music; the hum of
the bees,
The call of the lambkins, the warbling Of
birds;
And away on the uplands the lowing Of
herds
While a sweeter voice thrilled me, whose
memory abides-
''Thy crystal stream, Alton, how lovely it
gldes."
''Flow gently. sweet Afton"-oh, to hear it
againl-
Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds
through the glen"
As in summers long ended when roses were
nigh,
Or when wild autumn tempests wrung
tears from the sky,
When fierce down the valley the wintry
winds blew
That simple old ballad that ever was new;
Though the numbers and rhythm in memory
live on
"Flow gently, sweet Afton"-the music is
gone.
.'Flow gently. sweet Afton"-thy waters
could be
No sweeter than Deerheld's bright ripples
to me;
or to her who beside them. her loved ones
to cheer
Child, maiden and mother, sang many a
year,
In caro1ing measures when joy filled the
air,
But softly when anguish or sorrow were
there
Her ashes repose by the clear winding
stream

A Matter of a WOIf-DOg.
Also a Question Of Business Ethics
Between Brothers.

nHY Uucle Shiftloell Pettibone,"
said the man from over Slime
mahoning way, was prone to be a
sticzler for technicalities. But then he
was horse trader, and dickered some
in sheep pelts, and handled patent
rights; so suppose he had to rely lit
tie on technical points, and run 'em to
the front as a matter of self-protec-
ton. But it always seemed to me that
he carried the principle a trifle beyond
The limit when he insisted on applying
it in the most radical manner, to a
transaction between himself and my
remarkable father, Reuben Pettibone,
a transaction thai involved the stand
ing and character of dog Uncle Shift
lock sold to Reuben Pettibone, once
upon time, Reuben being Uncle Shift
locks brother, and they twins, at that.
STILL as my remarkable father never
took that view of it, but rather held it
up as a shining evidence of how smart
Uncle Shiftlock was, and how uncom-
promising he was when it came to a
matter of testing that business princi-
pie of his, even in dealing with his be-
loved brother, Reuben, / don't see why
/ should criticise Uncle Shiftlock adj
versely at this late day. Reuben Pet
tibone was won't to dote on the telling
of that transaction, showing how
soaked with brotherly kindness hewas;
how full to running over he was with
brotherly love. If a brother of mine
should do Inc up TO the tune of $3.50, 1
fear could not sit down and gloat over
the telling of how he did it. l fear,
rather, that l would he tempted TO
punch his head. Which only shows
again how remarkable my father, Reu-
ben, really was.
"As I have heard my father tell it, he
was bothered tremendously by wolves
at his clearing one season in the early
days of the old Sinnemahone, and, do
all he could, they were so willy that he
couldn't coax any of 'em to get into his
traps, and so cunning that he couldn't
get near enough to shoot any of 'em-
all of which was particularly distress
ing to him, because there was a bounty
of $40 a scalp on wolves. So he looked
around to find some one who had a
good wolf dog that he could buy, in
tending to run the shy and pestiferous
creatures down and gather in a crop of
pelts. Uncle Shiftlock Pettibone had
been on dickering tour and got back
home Just about the time my remark

day he appeared his Brother Reuben's

he.

"Reuben Pettibone bought the dog
