New Use For Refined pAaffine Wax.

A new and important use for refined
paratfine wax seems to have been dis
covered by prominent resident of Ohio
living near Lancaster, who had two trees
badly damaged by storm, one being a
maple and the other an apple. In each
case large limb was broken down from
the trunk, but still attached to it. The
limbs were propped up and fastened Sc
curely with straps, very much as a
broken leg might be fastened with
splints, and then melted refined wax
poured into and over all the cracks. The
Surgical operation" was entirely sue
cessful. The parafine prevented the es-
cape of the sap, kept out the rain and
moisture which would have rotted the
trees, prevented the depredations of in
sects. and the limbs seem thus far to be
perfectly re-attached to the trees.

few who, undaunted, braved the trials,
fought the battles faithfully and coura-
geously. The country grew up with
such men, under their giant strokes and
master minds. Year by year broad,
green fields, comfortable homes and
general prosperity displaced the sage
brush waste, and where once only the
face of the wandering savage was occa-
sionally seen and the dismal howl of the
coyote heard from an empty canyon,
merry voices of sturdy husbandmen
echo from the dells. We listen to the
stories of those heroic bread winners Of
the old days, and our hearts are touched.
|. The life of Tobias Beckner was one of
usefulness. A public benefactor, kind
to his family, liberal to his friends,
honest in his dealings with his fellow
man, cheerful in disposition, he en-
deared himself to all who knew him.
His death causes profound sorrow and is
universally lamented. Successful in
business enterprises, his labors were
b6untifu'ly rewarded. Afflicted with
heart and liver trouble, he has been
during the past few years a great suf-
ferer. A kind, patient and loving wife
has been his constant companion, and
administered to his every wish with
unrelenting care, and it is due to her
untiring efforts that the hand of the
harvester has been withheld so long.
If every person who has received a
favor or helping hand from Mr.. Beckner
should come now and deposit one small
token, flower, upon his grave he would
rest through the coming ages meath a
mountain of flowers.
He was married at the age of 20 years
to Miss Susie Small, who with two sons,
N. J. and Barney, survive him.

people strong by digesting what they eat
by cleansing and sweetening the stomach
and by transforming their food into the
kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes
you feel good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of
Troy, 1. T., writes: "For a number of
years I was troubled with indigestion
and dyspepsia which grew into the

Beautiful Complexions

Are spoiled by using any kind of pre-
paration that fills the pores of the skin.
The best way to secure clear complex

blotches, etc., is to keep the liver in good
order. An occasional dose of Herbine
will cleanse the bowels, regulate the
liver, and so establish a clear, healthy
complexion soc at Fred L. Janeck.

you never to bet on anything that talks;
that they will throw you down every
time and that politicians are the worst
of the lot that the politician who makes
the most promises and talks the loudest
and longest is the surest to give you the
'ha-ha."
Pap says you can't bet on politicians

can on cayuse's pedigree at horse

politics, is to get on the "inside," be APP
pointed on a Railroad commission or
pick the lucky man for U. s. Senator
and then be-sure and ask enough. Pap
knows; he has been there; that's the
way we got our ranch in Oregon.
