FO.LED BY HIS OWN TRICK.
Scheme For Selling a Farm ana It's
Dramatic Climax


Dramatic Climax.
Some years ago." said the narrator,
tan Gil boom hit Litchfeld, Ills, and
everybody for miles around was seen
shifting for oil and every stranger sus-
pected Of being an expert looking for a
good thing. An old farmer named Loo
mis- had big place three miles out of
town, which would have been fortune
for him had he not been possessed of a
mania for swapping, manifest in per-
ennlal attempt to trade off his land
for twice it's value
when the boom was at the top notch,
LOOMS received a visitor who took SO
much interest in the farm, so liked it's
appearance, location, etc., that the old
farmer scented petroleum man and
saw visions of incalculable wealth;
but, being shrewd man, LOOMS, did
not care to take any unnecessary
chances with Providence, and @on the
quiet he sent the hired man out the
back way with orders to dump the ker-
osene can into the. well. The visitor
liked the entire place, inspected the
barn, the chicken yard and then, as if
by chance, asked>for drink of water.
"Loomis was waiting for that and
hauled up trimming bucket before:
the mans own eyes and poured him out
gourdful of liquid with fine, opa-
lescent scum upon it. The visitor smell
ed the stuff, tasted it, made wry face
and asked if the water was. always like
that. oh, yes,' said LOOMS, but, you
soon get accustomed to the taste, and
our doctor says this is the finest water
on earth for the stomach We'll, I
am ding DANCED if I'll ever get used to
it, was the unexpected response. 4
am looking for farm, not an oil we'll,
and if have got to haul my drinking
water three miles from Litchfeld
guess I'd rather buy nearer town.
1T took Loomis six months to get the
taste of oil out of his well, and by that
time the boom was over, and nothing
was left of the oil craze but rotting der
ricks and abandoned shafts."-New Or

Remedy For Heat Prostitution.

The Druggists Circular offers the
following suggestions for treatment of
cases Of heat prostration: eff the tenn
perature is high, we use cold bathing
to lower it, at the same time watching
that it does not go too low and so give
us collapse. A bath should prefera-
bly, be given in tub, with the water
at 80 or IS degrees to begin with, and
ice at once added to bring the tempera-
ture Of the water down to so degrees
in few minutes. The surface of the
body must be rubbed vigorously, rub
bling the extremities preferably toward
the body, and also rubbing the abdo-
men and back. The bath should be
kept up for Is minutes unless the tenn
perature drops to 100 degrees before
that or the patient shows signs Of col
lapse. Shiyering is Of no consequence.
Usually the pulse will become fuller,
stronger and slower during the bath,
and the effect will persist after it. The
patient should be dried somewhat, but
without much rubbing, and should lie
under a sheet. If neither tub nor rub
Der blanket is available, we may lay
him on an ordinary blanket and sponge
him off with cold water or rub him
down with pieces of ice wrapped
around with one thickness Of towel. 1t
is we'll to give a little whisky before
the bath. The patient should drink
small amounts of cold water at fire.
quent intervals. If instead Of high
temperature we find a low one, we
must at once say to the patients
friends that the case is much more seri-
GUS. These cases are, of course, not to
be bathed in cold water, but are to be
vigorously d-whisky, strych-
nine, digitalis, etc. 1t is almost impos-
sible to overstimulate these cases.
They should be rolled up in blankets
and hot water bottles, hot bricks, ETC.,
put around them to raise the tempera-
ture to normal"

| have been asked why we tenn
perance women don't present both
sides of the canteen question. The
supposition is there is nothing
published only on one side.
Commandant P. H. Ray, of Fl.
Smelling, MIMI, who declares that
the stories as to what has followed
at Ft. Smelling on the abolition of
the canteen there are false in toto;
that there has been no drunken
ness, and that no reports of drum
kenness were made by officers of
the fort, as were alleged; that there
are not ten men in the guardouse
for this offense; that there is no
disorder at the post, and that the
men there are as we'll behaved as
any he ever saw. =
Those who have been believing
that the adjustment of the can
teen at TT. Smelling had been fol-
lowed by great disorder must &C
cept the statement that this was
not true and must credit the siuta-
ton with Major Rays description
of it.
The Pacific Wine and Split b.

the following specimen of English
composition to the discussion of
the canteen question. The delight
some personalities in which it in
dulges will be appreciated by Nee1
Voice readers, and it's position
upon the canteen, stated with such
clearness and courtesy, will prob
ably still continue to convince GER
tain clerical defenders of that
institution that the liquor interests
were responsible for closing the
government grog-shop. Says the
Revae7v:
The Examiner, of this city, has
discovered that notorious nincom-
poop, j. "Galsome" Woolly, and
is exploiting him right blythely,
to the great satisfaction of the
aforesaid temperance freak. The
effort to get any sense or truth out
Of Woolley is useless, however, as
his whole stock in trade is either
exaggerated or deliberate false
hood. The canteen game was the
greatest scheme he ever found
through which to gain notorietv
for himself and his infamous pub
llcatlon known as the NezD Voice.
1t IS the voice Of liars and hypo-
critics, and of these Woolley is the
chief.
General Shafter sized the fake
reformer up properly when he SAID
IN an interview: "He talks non
sense" Of course he does. Wool
ley has no brains from which to
extract sense. He is now on his
way to Manila to complete a lot of
falsehoods about the army in the
Philippines. He knows, as do all
who have investigated the subject,
that the canteen was a great assis.
lance in restraining the appetite of
the soldiers for strong drink, but
as it is the only ''live' issue the
drys have had for quarter of a
century, they stick to their false
