THE Yaqui Indians are wonderful
natural trailers,' said a former Next
can trader. relates the New Orleans
Tlmes-Democrat. They ought to make
the best scouts in the world. Some
years ago I was stopping at a place
called Ysleti, near the east coast Of
Yucatan, when my cabin was robbed
one night of several hundred dollars
IN gold I hired very Intelligent va
qui named Pedro to help me chase the
thief, and we started at once. The
thief who did the job had fled on
horseback, striking northwest, and be-
fore long my guide had a pretty &C
curate idea Of his personal appearance.
He picked up his information a scrap
at time, beginning with the discov-
cry that he was understood. When I
asked how he knew, he pointed to
willow tree from which one of the
lower branches had been recently
broken. The rascal had dismounted
there for a rest. and several fat
stones were piled on the ground under
the broken branch. Pedro surmised
that he wanted a. whip and had to
stand on the stones to reach the limb,
which was really not very high. I
mention this incident because it SEEM
ed to me at the time to be very far
fetched guessing, but. it turned out
afterward to be absolutely correct. He
knew the colors of the mans saddle
blanket from a few shreds caught on
thorn bush, and learned that he car
ried a native water bottle by it's print
in the soft dirt near spring. What
astonished me especially, however, was
tho ease with which he followed the
train of the horse over sflinty, sun
caked stretches, where not the faintest
sign of it's passage was visible to my
blunter vision. We caught up with
the thief on the second day, and all of
Pedro's predictions were verified to the
letter. He was prowling half-breed,
and when hard pressed had hidden the
money under log in dense thicket.
My Indian located it in almost less
time than it takes to tell the story, and
laughed contemptuously at the others
lack Of tfinesse Yet he was not an
exceptional trailer. I have met dozens
of the tribe who were equally clever.

Liszt's Per- Onality.


The best impression of Liszt's ap-
pearance in 1854. writes DR.. William
Mason in the September Century is
conveyed by a picture which shows
him approaching the Altenburg His
back is turned; nevertheless, there is
certain something which shows the
man as he was, better even than those
portraits in which his features are
clearly reproduced. The picture
gives his gait, his figure and his
general appearance. There is his
tall, lank form, his high hat set lit
tie to one side. and his arm a trife
akimbo. He had piercing eyes, His
hair Was very dark, but not black He
wore it long, just as he did in his old
er days. 1t came almost down to his
shoulders. and was cut off square at
the bottom. He had it cut frequently,
so IS to keep it at about the same
length, That was point about which
he was very particular.
AS l remember his hands, his fingers
were lean and. thin. but they did not
impress me as being very long, and he
did not have such remarkable stretch
on the keyboard as one might imagine.
He was always neatly dressed, gener-
ally appearing in long frock coat,
until he became the Able Liszt, after
which he wore distinctive black
gown. His general manner and his
face We're most expressive of his feel
ings, and his features lighted up when
he spoke. His smile was simply
charming. His face was peculiar. One:
could hardly call it handsome, yet
there was in it a subtle something that
was most attractive, and his whole
manner had a fascination which it is
impossible to describe. 2~~tsG. i " &&:sg%

els of wheat, the crops Of ten years,
were destroyed.
1t is hardly conceivable that any
one would hold wheat over period
of years waiting for a rise. Under
present financial conditions there
isn't a ghost of a chance for any
material advance in wheat. Ar
rangements have been made that
the wheat crop of the whole world
is brought in competition in the
Liverpool market, which is gov.
ferned by a gold standard price,
necessarily the lowest possible price

Under existing financial conditions
it is an utter impossibility for farm
products to advance in price. They
will vary 2 trife, but continue to
hover ronnd about the lowest cosi
price of production.

Expert Millwriting.

Harvey X. Garvin returned from
Trenton, N. j., last Friday where
he has been engaged since last De-
cember putting in machinery for
the Trenton Wills and Elevator Co.
The mills since being remodeled
are among the largest in the east.
There are two separate mills in the
building, one with q capacity OF
100 bbls. daily ON winter wheat and
the other with q daily capacity Of
200 bbls. on spring wheat, so ar.
ranged that flower can be made in
any grade or blended in any pro-
portion. Mr.. Garvin has become
quite an expert in handling mill
machinery and was the assistant oil
d. b. Kratz. of Pittsourg, who is
considered one of the finest expert
millwrights In the country. The
machinery was furnished by the
Edw. p. Allis Co., of Milwaukee,
the largest mill fitting works in the
world, covering so acres.
The new system of milling ia an
| improvement on the old reels, and
instead of rolled the -four is sifted,
making it more granular and better
oolored. The mills are run by tur-
bine wheels of 100 horse power,
furnished from the Delaware river.
Geo. Hunter and Marion Garvin
of this town, have also been en-
played flor some time on the same
work. MIR. Garvin left yesterday
for Chester to take charge Of placing
machinery in a 50-bbl. mill for the
same company.

body badly mangled. Drs. Stump
and Taylor were summoned but the

You Can't

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about US
on every hand and we are COM
stantty taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be we'll supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.
