HIS LEG is STILL GROWING.
It Gets Longer and Longer, and He Can't
Stop 1t.

1t Gets Longer and Longer ana he Can't
Stop It.
A man out at Rogers park broke his
leg few months ago, and in the setting
the doctor made some mistake, or else
the patient was at fault, for when it set
the bone joined improperly, and when
the man came to walk he found that
one leg was several inches shorter than
it should be. He was naturally very
much Inconvenience and bemoaned the
fact that he was to be a cripple for life.
One day while he was alSne at the
house woman book canvasser was ad-
mitted After she had failed to sell him
what she had she asked him what the
matter was. He told her and said that
he feared he would be cripple for life.
"HumpAP' said the woman. "There
is no need Of that now since Christian
science is doing SO much. "
81 have heard a great deal about
Christian science. said the man, "but
I never heard that it could cure trou-
BILE like mine"
"Why not?'' asked the woman. 1T
is doing greater things than that every
day. You would better 60 see healer. -
"But there is none here, +" replied the
man.
"Well, . said the woman, ''I'm some
thing of healer myself. can't stay
here, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
give you the absent treatment. You just
stay where you are, and I'll cure your
short leg" And she went away.
The man smiled, but he thought there
might be something in it after all. So
he began to have faith in the healer. In
a few days, however, he had almost for
gotten all about it and joked with his
wife about the matter At the end of
two weeks he arose to standing posi-
tion and discovered to his great aston
ishment that his short leg was nearly
as long as the other. He was delighted.
"That woman was all right, he said
to his wife, ''and l have done her a
great injustice in smiling in my disbe-
lief" In a fortnight more both legs
were of equal length. He left his room
for the first time in several months and
went to business. He proudly showed
his leg to all his friends and told every
one of the marvellous means by which
be recovered. Everything went well
for time, but presently the man made
the astonishing discovery that the cured
limb was still growing. In another two
weeks it was fully two inches longer
than the one which had not been broken
and that it was the well leg on which
he now limped.
This naturally worried him very
much. You see, there was no telling
where it would end. Then he recollect-
ed, too, that he had no idea who the
healer was, or where he could find her.
He could not even remember the name
of the book she was trying to sell. And
that is how the matter now stands. The
mans leg is still growing. That woman
is still gadding around the country sell
ing books and giving him the absent
treatment. If he does find her, she will
have to begin on the other leg, and even
then the man will only be fit for the
dime museum. The mans faith in the
new science is still unbroken, but he
feels that the healers should be securely
anchored and kept within certain
bounds. Chicago Chronicle.

Eurgent army.

And these little martyr souls pass
away without a mothers prayer or a
mothers arms around them. Their
requiem is the cry of "Cuba Libre r.
echoing from dying lips. Their little
bodies lie unburied beneath the south
ern suns until heaven in benediction
marks their resting places with Cuba S
most fragrant bloom of lilies and roses.
springing from the very lifeblood of
these infant warriors.
The presence of women and children
on the field of battle has been used as a
reproach by the enemies of Cuba. There
have been stories of armies of CANA
IONS described as rough masculine
creatures leading the men on with their
fury.
To those who know the real nature
of the Cuban women these stories seem
like fairy tales. The women of Cuba
are intensely feminine in their natures
domestic, womanly creatures, fond of
their children, to whom they devote
themselves from babyhood.
The Cuban baby is veritable mon
arch in the home of it's parents, and in
times of peace the education and the
guidance of the child almost constitute
its mother whole existence. The pres
ence of women and their children on
the field Of battle is only due to the fact
that every Cuban insurgent knows the
Spanish volunteer will wreak his venge
anoe on women and children left uh-
I IN h0 &c fO4 h 10
reason that whole families have fought
ogether--children side by side with
their parents-baby hands sometimes
loading and reloading rifles for the men
and women.
A Cuban boy or Cuban girl often
can handle a machete with as much
skill as man--much more dexterously
than the average American who takes
up the weapon wondering at its weight
and apparent clumsiness. But the ma
chete is really household implement
in the homes of the Cubans. 1t is used
much as Ratchet is used in an Ameri-
can household, but with a far greater
diversity of uses. The Cuban boy can
peel a cocoanut with machete as easily
as an American boy peels an apple with
jackknife. The machete is used to cut
sugar cane, to trim vines and to cut the
great cacti and palms that abound upon
the island-giants in their growth.
There have been many child martyrs
to the Cuban war for liberty. There are
only few names written on the death
rolls, for the children have not been
counted in with the soldiers. Some
where in heaven, maybe, the names of
those little ones are written in gold

The Rest Turkeys for breeding.

It is not surprising that turkeys
should soon run out and become infe-
rior in every way, when we remember
how so many farmers choose their
breeding stock. All the late birds
stunted by corn feeding while young
are saved, while those that are large
and fine are sent to market The idea
is that the small bird will be fully
grown, and as large as the largest by
spring. But it never is. Saving the
best birds for breeders insures earlier
laying of eggs, and an early crop OF
turkeys next year.

Fowls in Hot Houses.

Too much warmth is injurious.
Fowls in hot houses get colds and be.
come tender. The average poultry
man goes too far in using glass and
shutting up tight
when furnished plenty of water and
wholesome food geese fatten rapidly
and have no disease, but unless they
are afforded an opportunity to keep
themselves clean and are furnished
with pure food they die rapidly"

Sensible and Timely Suggestions fos
the D, B r. q. r. r.

Hon. L. B. Prince has recently been
in consultation with the D. & R. G. R.
r.. officials In Denver as to excursion
rates for the Historical celebration on
July 10 at !Chamita and for the Horti.
cultural fair. He also suggested to them
that they should establish weekly excur.
sions every Saturday from Santa Feto
Rio Grande station lat the east side Of
the BRIDGE for persons wishing to visit
the pueblo of San Ildefonso. This would
be q great attraction to tourists and
would induce many to remain in Santa
Fe until the excursion day arrived In
order to see such an interesting pueblo
in q convenient way. The trains run at
excellent hours for the purpose, as wish
tors will have about six hours between
them, and this affords ample time to
visit the pueblo and even the celebrated
mesita If desired. All that ia necessary
is for the company to establish q popu-
lar price for the excursion and 1t will no
doubt be we'll ~patronized.

afternoon.
