GauchOS Of Argentina, spend most of
their lives on horse back, in these re-
gions of magnificent distances. They
are the Arabs and the CoSsacks of the
New World; the models of Victor
Hugo's word-picture: "He forms but
one person with the horse. He would
not fight but on horse back. He lives
on horse back: trades, buys and sells
on horseback; eats, drinks and sleeps
on horseback Ramon Paez, the
celebrated Venezuelan author says of
them: Cast upon the wild and appar-
emily interminable plain, the domain
of savage beasts and poisonous reptiles.
their lot is to pass all their lives in
perpetual struggle, not only with the
primitive possessors of the land, but
with the elements themselves, often as
fierce as they are grand From April
to August rain falls so heavily that in
some of the districts the whole face of
the earth remains shallow lake during
most of the year. Cattle and horses
are drowned in the pools, or perish in
Quagmires, or are eaten by ailigators or
devoured piece meal by tiny carbe fish.
The latter voracious little cannibals in
fest the afiuentS of the Orinoco and
are sure death TO any creature, of
whatsoever size which they attack IN
numb ers. Baron Humboldt called
them the greatest scourge OF the Orln
Oco region. because on account OF them
nobody dares battle in the rivers, and
frequent bathing is made doubly neces-
sary by reason OF singing dust,
mosquito bites. and general irritation
of the skin. The Warun Indians, who
live among the flooded lands of the
great delta of the Orinoco, in hutS
raised on posts above the water, are
the only beings who find any use for
the raveuous caribe fish. Having no
dry ground in which to bury their dead,
they have adapted the custom of pre-
serving the bones of their deceased
relatives suspended from the roofs of
their houses The skeleton is prepared
by plunging the corpse in the water,
the other end tied to one of the house
posts: and in a few hours time those
skiliful anatomistS, the carlbes, have
striped it clean of flesh, arteries and
tendons. During the annual iEunda-
ton of the Savannas, these queer little
fish hold high carnival. Thousands of
Quadrupeds perish in the deluge and
their bones are picked clean: they prey
upon calves Wading through the
marshes, and upon the mothers whose
udders they frequently mutilate so that
the young ones die from starvation.
The fact is, the poor cattle lead a
miserable life in this summer-country
during the rainy season. If they es-
cape the teeth OF the carlbe. the coil of
the great water serpent. OF the jaws of
the crocodile, they are i'll imminent
danger Of falling a prey to the lion or

are continually tormented to the limit
Of endurance by the sting of myriad
insects which I'LL the air until the

Everybody. Blood Wine" the leading
medicine of today, has from the moment Of
its discovery led the way in the general
overthrow of disease merely because it treats
disease Ill an entirely new way. The priuci-
|ple upon which blood Wine" works is to
abstract from the blood the posuns that
stagnate the system, and 10 cause each
organ TO perform its work. People that are
diseased have some frequently several
ORGANS that are inactive. This medicine
arouses them, in keeping with nature. 1t is
not temporary stlmuant. 1t is not a mar
cote, or a deadener Of pain or feeling. 1t
acts III the system as steam does in an
engine. 1t furnishes energy. supplies fuel,
and draws out of the blood the germs from
every nook and corner. The makers of
"Blood Wine, " in order that every body may
have chance to know scientifically what
flows through their blood, have arranged
with an eminent physician and bacteriologist
"a man skilled IN all the phases of bac-
teriology, who can tell at a glance at their
blood the state of ones general health, the
prospects for recovery. or the chances of
early death: just wha, should be done to de
stroy the germs, and what should be done to
rebuild the weakened tissues.

working of disease germs. They swarm in

sore, to disordered kidney, and to other
organs OF the body, and unless INTERRUPTED
in their work by powerful medicines which
kill them and eject them from the system,
they tear down and devour the very vitals
that we want most to protect. The surest
and absolutely never-filling way to tell what

kind Of disease one has, or may be going to
have, is to look at these little assassins, and
see just what they are. The powerful glass

Heads of Families
Something You Should Keep in the House
For Every Day Emergencies-It Will
Prove to be a Friond in Need.

Most heads Of families realize how frequently
there is Q call in the household for some prepar-
alton that will relieve and cure aches, bruises,
cuts, wounds, burns, scalds, chaps, chafes
scratches, gals, local Inflammation, swehings,
sprains, colds, sore throat, sore feet, lumbago.
neuralgia, strains, rheumatism, pains and the
many ills that are hardly serious enough to go
to the expense of calling doctor for.
For this purpose there Is no remedy so gener-
ally applicable or so uniformly oflcacious and
satisfactory as Greene's Infallible Liniment.
This remedy is honestly prepared and made to
cure so that It will sell on its merits. Once use
1t and you will ever after keep 1t in the house
and become its lifelong advocate and friend.
Many worthy people would as soon think of
being out of meat or flour as not to have Greene's
Infalible Liniment in the house. Prudent
mothers are especially partial to it and consider
1t unrivalled for the hurts of childhood.
Mr.. j. B. jackson, Drovers' Journal, Chicago,
says:-"As q family remedy 1t is invaluable
Mr.. q. j. Kline, Chicago, ILL.,, writes:-'I have
used your liniment for horses and for my own
aches and pains and the results were such that
1t Is now q standard remedy in my family. 1t is
an article Of merit, refer any doubter to me"
Mr.. G. +. Moore, Travelling Auditor Of the
Chicago B. Alton Il. r., writes:-"I wish to con.
graduate you on having produced a liniment
which In all cases comes up eothe merits claimed
for 1t. In my family 1t has been used with per-
fectly satisfactory results"
In thousands of homes throughout the land
Greene's Infallible LiDment is ''stand. by" that
Is confidently and satisfactorily used by old aud
young. There is only one thing more convincing
than the testimony of others; that is actual
personal experience. then OF yourself you know.
This great antIseptic healing remedy that will
subdue acute pain in very few minutes and
quickly overcome Inflammation and swelling is
sold for 25 and 80 cents bottle. A large size at
one dollar IS put up for stable use as 1t Is also ex
cellent for horses.
Liniment. Accept no substitute. There is no
other linment that will take its place and do its
york, no other that is like 1t or '.just as good"
The makers, j. w. Greene 8, Co., Chicago, will

SHAKESPEARE WROTE THE
PSALMS.
ISpringfield Republican,

rSpringfield Republican,
good satire at the expense of the
Baconian cipherists has been perpe-
trated by an anonymous Englishman,
who shows by methods quite as defen-
sible as those used in demonstrating
that Bacon wrote the Shakespearian
plays that Shakespeare really wrote
the book of psalms. For his system 1T
is necessary to spell the poets name
either Shakespear or SHAKESPEARE both
of which are permissible. In the name
"Shakespear',' he points out, there are
four vowels and six consonants, which
make the number forty-six. Turning
to psalm 46, the forty-sixth word from
the beginning is Shake" and forty
sixth word from the end, excluding the
"selah," is spear" What could be
palmer?
