at those movements going on. There was
no need to signal the party yet concealed in

THE EXPERIENCE OF TWO
BROTHERS.

On page six Of this years issue of the
"Surprise, paper published by DR.. Peter
Fahrney, of Chicago, ILL.,, is an article en-
titled Reads Like Miracle" which tells
of the remarkable restoration to health OF
Mr.. Ernest Neubauer, of Gonzales. Texas.
lie had, while in tho German army, con-
tracted terrible skin disease, which batIied
the skill of the best German physicians and
even those of this country, whom he sought
when he emigrated here.
At the urgent solicitation of his wife he
, finally concluded to commence the use of a
medicine which is frequently referred to as
"a plain household remedy" thereby regain
ing his health and strength.
The article has caused widespread interest
and much comment. Now comes his brother,
Mr.. Paul Ncubauer, a we'll known citizen,
and Postmaster of Floresville, Texas, and
adds further tribute 10 the remedy by relat-
ing his own expericnce, as follows:

whole great plains and still further East,
destroying large portion of the wheat-pro-
ducing region Of the United Statesn No
such prediction was ever made by the De-
partment Of Agriculture. In the publica-
tion cited, the real statement was that the
Russian thistle would ultimately infest
large part of our wheat-growing region.
These and other falsifications in the Sun
article make it very questionable whether
any reliance whatever is to be placed on the
statement that the Russian thistle is more
valuable than alfalfa. 1t is true, and the
Department and the Agricultural Expert
ment Stations have repeatedly published the
fact, that the Russian thistle when green is
good sheep feed, and if cut early enough
makes fairly good hay. Respectfully,
j. w. BRIGHAM, Assistant Secretary.
This contains the exact facts in the case
so far as known to-day. 1t will help our
readers to understand the Russian thistle to
remember that it belongs to the same family
as the well-known "lamb' mb's-guarter," and
when young has many points of resemblance
to that succulent weed. 1t becomes terror
when it grows old, hard, and. thorny. The
only remedies for it are clean cultivation, or
numerous sheep.-EDIToR NATIONAL TRIB-

and those experienced hunters, seeing it
was time, combined for a final effort. The
mad beast sped onward resistlessly as an
avalanche, and then Sheik Ali glided like
some armed specter from the brake.
There was, indeed, something unearthly
in the appearance of that bronzed figure,
with its cleaning sword, bounding over an
arena flooded with crimson light. The ele-
phant saw its shadow, and tried to wheel;
but like flash that keen-edged blade came
down, and all was over. Mutilated, spout

perate abortive efforts that only drained his
heart the faster. A few rallies and his other
foot had gone, leaving this helpless giant
