fishing of the place are not lost on the
plainsman, he likes the Palo Duro chiefly
because it is the finest place In the country
for the cattle when the northers sweep down
across the plains, for down there it is always
warm and being well watered, there is
enough moisture in the soil, so that the
grass is always green. Every year thou
sands of cattle winter there, never coming
out until spring, when they are fat and in
fine condition On this account these
ranchmen whose ranges are traversed by
section of it do not need TO make any pro-
vision for wintering their stock, and natur
ally look upon it as the most valuable real
estate in the country
Despite the advantages of it in the way
of protection for the cattle it has greatly
hindered the settlement of two or three
counties, which lie to the south of it, acting
as great barrier to all who seek TO cross
it with supplies from the Fort Worth and
Denver, which is the great railway of the
plains, and which swings up along the
canyon not far from it in the whole $50
miles between Childress, where it opens
into the Red River Valley, aud Amarillo,
south Of which it Is first impossible. Peo-
pie living ON the plains south of it may not
be over twenty miles from the railroad,
Yet in order TO get to it they may have to
drive i've times that distance There have
been few efforts made to put roads down
the walls great cuts have been begun in
several places with view of incling straight
down into the canyon, but as these have
only been undertaken by settlers who are
without the means necessary to finish such
enterprises they have always been aban
doued As a matter Of fact, it would cost
ten times as much rs it would be worth.
Ia any part Of the country the Palo Duro
would be considered wonderful canyon;
were there mountains and broken country
along its course it would still be pictur-
e~que wonder, but yawning right mp in the
middle Of the unbroken plains which are
level as floor to the brink of Its mighty
walls, it Is without doubt one of the mos,
remarkable in the entire country.

Down a Mountain on an Avalanche.



Il had most remarkable experience
about year ago, said Mr. Herman
Kirts, of Seattle Wash, at the National
Hotel. lit was 50 remarkable that per-
sons to whom have related it regard me
with suspicion. and not infrequently leave
me with the impression that as a preyari
Gator | would eclipse Ananias. But there
are three other persons who can voueh for
the truth of the story.
''We were prospecting on 4 mountain in
Vancouver 1t was in the spring of the
year. and the earth was soft and wet .
When about half way up the side Of the
mountain, without the slightest warning,
an area about one hundred feet square
seemed to break loose from the rest and
darted with lightning speed down the noun
tain side. The avalanche seemed to be
about five or six feet deep and carried with
it trees. rocks and boulders. Fortunately,
myself and companions were close to the
upper portion Of the sliding land, and con-
sequently escaped being struck. That
ride down the mountain side on that ava
lanehe was the most rapid and perilous one
| ever want to experience. rode astride
the trunk of fallen tree, and my friends
were clinging tenaciously to its branches.
We covered distance Of about a mile in
| should say about half minute, although
none of us held stop watches, The ava
lanehe came to a stop near the foot of the
mountain in a small valley, and, strange to
say, none of us was hurt, save one fellow
who was struck on the leg by boulder
after we had come to stop Talk about
rapid transit-that ride beat anything l
ever experienced or heard of. y

Rivers in South Africa.

certainty. too, As to when such river as
the Tazela may be in flood Is embarrassing

Care of the Hands.

From the CentlewOmau
There is great knack in using the hands
gracefully, which seems to be but little
understood by girls and women generally.
Hands blush Did you know that? If
you are conscious of your hands they will
grow red and angry looking. Ifyou forget
them they will return to their normal color
If hands are homely in shape, despite the
best one eau do, they should be shielded
with sleeves that drop over the hand
Thin hands can be made plump by rub
bing them with cream Hands that are
crimson when they are held down often
pass for exceptionally pretty hands, be-
cause their owner deity contrives to keep
them up SO that the blood shall not settle
in them.
Children should not be allowed to crack
their knuckles. F" 1t causes their knuckles
TO enlarge in a hideous way
Some hands are naturally pretty aud
some are naturally homely, but many
homely hands can be greatly improved by
judicious care. Ones employment has
great deal to do with the look of the hands,
of course, and the harder the work is on
the hand the more care is required to keep
it in good condition. An abnormally small
hand is not attractive. The hand should
be in proportion to the rest of the body.
1t should have character, too, and should
be used expressively. Indeed, the hand
does much to express the character When
its owner is a nonentity the hand is merely
a machine. When its owner is an individ-
ual the hand follows suit.
To keep the hands smooth use few
drops of this lotion after washing;
Three ounces of rosewater.
One ounce of glycerine
Ten drops of carbolic acid
Ten grains of bicarbonate of soda.
Cost, about 20 cents.
