Our little girls humor commenced with n
tiny sore on one nostril, but it kept on spread

cured. We tried everything we could get
but 1t kept getting larger all the time, till
both Rostrils, the upper lip. part Of the iocer

We thought there was no cure, and that she
would be disfgured for life. Finally We tried

all these troubles and symptoms. 1t
Is the best medicine money can buy.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-08-29

The nine months that the whalemen
were compelled to lie in idleness, while
s.not eniiyened by social gdyeties, were
far from monotonous. With lumber
brought UP from San Francisco there
had been built on shore a commodious
one-room house, whose most conspicu-
Gus articles of furniture were a big
stove, that roared day and night, bill
lizard table. and number of benches
and chairs. This was the clubroom OF
the go or 70 officers of the fleet, and here
they congregated TO play billiards and
whist, or sit about through the long
arctic evenings, while the wind howled
outside, smoking and spinning yarns OF
many seas, or of boyhood days at New
Bedford; New London and Marthas
( Vineyard. There were reveteranswho had
whaled on every ocean and had been in
noarly every port on the globe; men
who recollected wen the raid of the
cruiser Shenandoah, when nearly
score of ships were crushed in the ice
foe. The sailors and firemen OF the
fleet did not have the privilege OF this
house, but contented themselves with
games and amusements of their own.
They had an orchestra that played long
and vociferously, and there was an anna
teur dramatic troupe that gave enter
tainments during the winter. But it
was on the great national game OF base
ball that officers and men most de-
pended to break the tedium of their i'm
prisonment and furnish the necessary
outdoor exercise.
All the whalemen were dressed in
the Eskimo fur costume, only the lace
being exposed, and on their hands wore
heavy fur mittens. These clumsy nit
tens, together with the fact that one
was apt to fall on the ice unless he gave
large part of his attention to keeping
his feet underneath him, made
good catching practically impossible
"Muffs" were the rule, and the man
who caught and held the ball received
an ovation, not only from the hundreds
of Eskimos who were always crowded
about the rope. No one was apt TO re
peat the experiment of catching with
hare hands. One of the center fielder:
was corpulent Orkney Islander, whose
fayorite method of stopping ho'
grounder was to lie down in front Of
| it. The Eskimos considered him the stal
player of the feet. Sliding was the only
thing done to perfection, the ice offer
ing excellent facilities for distinction
in that line, and there was always wiie
cheer when a runner getting too muci
headway knocked the baseman of hi
feet and both came down together. III
scores were ridiculously large, seldom
less than so on side, and sometime
twice that. On the smooth ice goo'
hit meant home run.-Harper's Roun'
Table.

AUSTRALIAN STAMPEDE.
Rraxery and Fine Horsemanship Are
Needed to Check the Rush
of Cattle.

When n cattle-rush comes in the
blackest of the night, among thick
standing, low-limbed trees, with the
nature and levels of the country un-
known and invisible, to stem 1T calls
for the finest and fiercest quality OF
horsemanship. As he lodges, swerves
and clings in the saddle to avoid mutt
lation from the rushing trees, he must
see to it also that the horse shall win
to the lead of that laundering multi
tnde beside him, if hands and spur may
compass it. And when he does the
madJest of the danger is still to come.
The riders hands must do double duty
now as he let's loose the whip and
guides the horse as well. The rout
must be turned and directed against
itself. The horse is dragged inward,
the whip Kisses and falls; the man, 81
lent until now, opens throat and lungs
in the stockman's battlecry. 1t the
leading cattle swerve and swing away,
carrying confusion among the rest,
and breaking the directness OF the rush,
it is the finest moment of the drover's
life. AS the beasts that come thunder
ing blindly on feel the scorching Of the
thong on head and flank, and hear the
note Of mans supremacy thatthey have
feared since branding time, the eddy
spreads.
The blind rush becomes maelstrom,
the maelstrom spreads into eddies OF
confusion--the clash of horns and huge
muttering sounds Then the herd set
ties down and spreads out. When the
sound arises Of big muzzles blowing
and niEbling at the grass the horse
man knows that his danger is past
Low down in an embrasure Of the woods

One would hardly believe there are
special times and seasons for trying
on new shoes, but SO tits. Larger shoes
are required in summer than in winter,
and it is always best to try them on in
the latter part Of the day. The feet are
then at the maximum size. Activity
naturally enlarges them and makes
them swell; much standing tends to
enlarge the feet. New shoes should be
tried on over moderately thick stock
ings; then you can put on q thinner
pair 70 ease your feet II the shoes seem
10 be tight. Chicago Chronicle.

Why she Got the Doll.

A queer old man once made a tea party for all the little girls in our town; and, when they were all gather ed in his front yard, in white dresses and carefully tied sashes, he offered doll for the most popular little girl in the crowd.
 But half the children did not know what most popular meant. So he told them it was the best-liAed little girl All the children voted, and Mary Blain got the doll. Mary was not the pret- tiest nor the eleyerest of the children, but she got the doll.
 Now" said the queer old man, T will give another doll to the one that first tells me why you all like Mary the best.''
 Nobody answered at first. But pres ently Fanny Wilson said, Its because Mary always finds out what the rest of us want to play, and then says, Let's play that!"
 The old gentleman said that was the best reason he had ever heard.

WISE woREs.

The peace Of any mans soul who has outgrown mere self-indulgence can only come by going forward-on to the deepest principles and final causes of things. Put God underneath all your life, and your life must rest upon the Everlasting Arms.-Phillips Brooks.
 You reap what you sow-not some thing else, but that. An act of love makes the soul more loving. A deed of humbleness deepens humblenesE. The thing reaped is the very thing sown, multiplied hundred fold. You have sown the seed of life, you reap life everlasting.-F W. Robertson.
 The common fuency of speech in many men and most women is owing V a scarcity of matter and scarcity of
 ords; for whoever is a master of lan- kuage, and hath a mind full of ideas, will be apt, in speaking, to hesitate upon the choice of both, whereas com- mon speakers have only one set of ideas, and one set of words to clothe them in. and these are always ready at the mouth. So people come faster out of a church when it is almost empty than when crowd is at the door.-SWift.
 The knowledge of the past is valu- able, because without 1t our knowledge of the present and Of the future must be scanty; but if the knowledge of the past be confined wholly to itself if. instead of being made to bear upon things around us, it be wholly isolated from them, and so disguised by vague ness and misapprehensions as to ap- pear incapable of Illuminating them, then indeed 1t becomes little better than laborious trifing. and they who declaim against 1t may be fully for giYen.-Arnoid

SOME DoN'TS.

Don't eat candy in the theater if F necessitates rattling paper during ths performance. Besides it is bad form to eat in public.
 Don't let your dress drag when walk ing down stairs unless you want to add materially to your collection of mi- crobes-to say nothing of the dust.
 Don't worry because there are half 3 dozen freekIes on your nose. No one will notice them if you don't call at- tention to them Besides, they have probably been there all winter.
 Don't wait for inspiration to say something graceful when you walk up to congratulate the bride. Impromptu speeches are always more successful when they are prepared beforehand.
 Don't scowl at the conductor if he fails to let you off at the right corner. A sweetly resigned look will draw the sympathy of the passengers and an athletic apology from the pasteboarA coilector-but if you look cross and ugly, they'll smile and think it good joke on you.

NeHv NapoIeon Letter.

The historic chateau of Malmaison h being restored by M. Osiris, wealthy Napoleon worshiper. It Is his inten' tion, says the London Chronicle, to turn it into Napoleonic museum, and to present it to the state in time for it to form one of the attractions of he great exhibition in 1a00. In re- pairing the library a very interesting find was made in the shape of a let ter from Napoleon to Josephine, dat ed from the Trianon, August 15, 1915. reproaching her with not saving mon- ey. He advises her to put her affairs in order, not to spend more than G60,- 900 year and to save the other &6O,- GOO. Thus in ten years she would have accumulated fortune for heu grandchildren. Instead of doing this however, I am told" he continues "that you are in debt. If you wish to please me take care to fill fat stock ing What do you suppose would be my opinion of you if knew you to os in debt with an income of 3,000,Oos francs a year?"

SUMMER cOLORs.
Violet Retired in Favor Of Biuets and
 Yellow.

Mellow.
 Within the last month some m0dif- cations have been made in the order assigned to eolors. says the Millinery Trade Review Violet has retired quite into the bachground, with the exeep- tion of a reddish violet. one Of the eIematfs shades. And deep blue has come forward, new tints bordering on lavender. but more especially bluet, but not the most brilliant dye But the most important change is the great favor shown for beige, almond, brown, maize, blue and golden yellow, evil denced chiefly in the choice of straws and jules of these shades. Light blues and hydFangea tints maintain their old position, and the same may be said of rose pinks and reds showing par5icu- larly in floral trimmings. though pink and red straWs are still in fair demand. A deal of green appears in the decora- tion, mostly in the shape of leaves. and green straWs are looking =up. Light gray is still in favor. both for morning and dressy hats, trimming and straw being often of the same shade. If a color is chosen for the decoration. blue is considered most applicable. There is certainly 8 larger demand for black straws than there was earlier in the season, and black enters into the orna- mentation of much of the very newest millinery black lace, black velvet bows, and also flowers with black vel vet or black gauge petals and natural. colored stamens.

Fond of Tobacco.

"I have been an inyeterate user of tobacco in some form for the past 40 years, and during that time have had much to do with all sorts of wild beasts, which I have found are nearly all, more or less, partial to the smell or taste of the weed, 3 observed an old and experienced animal trainer to Star reporter. For instance, the eom- mon brown bear is so fond of the fumes of tobacco that if you blow smoke through the bars of it's cage it will, with evident delight, push for ward and rub it's back and head against the iron bars over which the smoke passes. This is invariable. Not long ago I blew through a hollow stick pinch of snuff into the nose of a sleeping lion. The brute shortly af- ter awoke, sat up straight, sneezed violently and then lay down to sleep very contentedly again. All goats, deer, llamas and so on will chew and eat tobacco and snuff with great eager ness. Monkeys and big balloons also breathe with great satisfaction the smoke from cigars. l once made very vicious llama. belonging to cir els. my friend by feeding it daily with small quantity of snuff. One day when the show was in Brooklyn, N. Y., several memo -warsmen came to see our exhibit of tame and wild animals. When the men got to the inclosure where the llama was kept. one Of the company commenced teasing the beast. By way of protest the llama suddenly Ispat at the offending sailor. and the latter. with a very astonished look. ex- claimed, Holy Moses. how his breath smells of snuff boys.

PIsasurss on ths Farm.

A4SSSufSs on Uh5 FRrns Oh, 'tis royal fun to frolic
 On the fragrant, new -moWn hay, To roll and romp and tumble,
 And to while the time away; What a joy to lie and slumber, Innocent of worldly care. On the clover in the haymow.
 When some others put it trors. What q joy, when one is thirsty, Ere as yet 'tis time to sup, To consume the sweet ambrosia That the COWS have yielded up To drink out of the milkpail,
 While you poise it in the air When some other has extracted The rich fluid that is there. What joy it is, in summer,
 To be free upon the farm; Ah, the very air seems freightea With mystic sort of charm; Round and over all a dreamy,
 Peaceful spirit seems to lurk- That is, if you do the dreaming, While some others do the work.

Medicine for n scratchy Pen.

"All pens are alike to me" said tho clever young woman, and all pens would be alike to you if you only knew how to break them in. Don't molsteH your new pen between your gips before you begin to write. Don't say charms over it or squander your substance ID gold pens. Take your cheap steel pen dip it into the ink, then hold it in the flame of match for few seconds wipe 1t carefully, dip it into the ink and you have a pen that will make glad the heart within you. It is process I have never known to fail.
