second, the prohibition Of discrimina-

BLIZZARD IN BLACK HILLS
OFF SEASON STORM coMPELs
ABANDONMENT OF TRAINS.
LOSS OF STOCK MAY BE LARGE

rific wind and no doubt entailing loss
Of stock II not OF life, with depres-
sion of temperature over a wide
stretch OF country was feature OF
the early May storm.
The blizzard equalled in severity al
most any other storm of the winter.
The heavy fall OF snow was whipped
up from the ground and whirled
through the air with tremendous veloc-
ity, compelling the abandoning Of
trains because OF the inability of the
engine men to see the track ahead or
the signals or switches. The storm
ragged fiercely from Cody west and
the train service was completely de-
moralized.
Train No. 6, due in Norfolk at noon,
will not arrive until o'clock this
evening, or later. Instead Of taking
dinner at Norfolk the train crew and
passengers will eat that meal at Long
Pine, where they usually take break
fast. The snow fall was heavy and
the icy particles filled the air.
Damage to stock has not been re-
ported, but it is believed that there
will be large losses as many herds
were out on the range without protec-
tion from the elements and must have
suffered the full effects of the off sea-
son storm. Loss of human life on the
trails and ranges is not an impossible
consequence of the storm, and the full
amount of damage will not be noted
perhaps for several days.
This storm has served to depress
the temperature over a large area of
country and the weather bureaus fore
cast of cold and frost for tonight will
undoubtedly be fully realized.

EDITORIAL NOTE

The series of articles which will
appear under the above heading, con-
tributed by c. F.. w. Marquardt, Neu-
rologist and Ophthalmologist, will be
interesting and instructive, so that if
followed carefully the reader will be
able to extract mental and physical
benefits. Some of the propositions
may appear remarkable in view of the
popular view extant; but the object
in giving them to the public is to cul-
tivate reasoning powers and to show
that popular ideas are fads, and why.l
OF course one who practices Neurol-
ogy is a Neurologist, but the question
is what is neurology? 1t is the sci
ence of analyzing causes of human ills
in such a mathematically accurate
manner that nearly all of them may
be found and removed without the use
of any drugs or operations. 1t is the
purpose of this series of articles to
teach the readers all of so much of
neurology that they be their own neu-
rologist to the extent of preventing
and relieving many of the minor ills
and thus learning how to distinguish
between ordinary and dangerous dis
turbances they will know when to
seek the aid of an expert before it is
too late.
Neurology as applied to the human
machinery is both simple and COM
plex, simple because it is produced
by the food and drink which is alb
strbed complex when we come to
deal with it after the itemized fashion
as we expect to do in this letter.
Many people imagine that they can
violate natures laws with impunity if
they can get solid with good doctor.
] want to tell them that is a mistake
and is an imposition on the doctor as
well as on nature.
We all eat food and drink, but few
have any idea what we do it for.
People should all know how to eat,
what to eat, when to eat and how
much to eat. We will not discuss the
fads of eating fast or slow, or chewing
the food or drinking much or little
with meals, further than to say when
ever you find faddist watch him and
see if he gets the results for himself
promise you will find it exceedingly
amusing.
The first thing with reference to
eating is to know that the capacity of
the stomach is about three pints. Ev-
eryone knows that while the mouth
will hold an apple as large as an egg
it could not be masticated if put in
whole; the same is true of the stom-
ach, If it is filled too full either of
chunks or finely chewed food.
Then there is another reason
against overlooking, which is that the
production of the fluids necessary for
digestion is limited by nature to the
amount sufficient only to digest
enough food to keep the body supplied.
An easy way to find out when people
eat too much is to count all those who
suffer from indigestion either occa-
sionally or constantly, and by indi.
gestion is meant all the ills from gas
on the stomach, sour stomach, heart
burn, constipation and down to dys-
pepsia and piles. II the stomach only
holds three pints and we put in two
it would not do to put in two more
within few hours. Digestion begins
the moment when food is in the
mouth, then the stomach holds it's
load until the chemical operation OF
digestion is completed, which will not

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE
BY FIammarion HoIden-CIass c.
Twelve Years

There is family that lives In the
foothills about five miles from town.
This family owns a beautiful bay
horse which saved the life of it's mas
ter's child few days ago. The owner
Of the horse, with his wife and child,
went to market with fruit and vegeta-
tles. The mother and father went in
to a store and left the child on the
sidewalk. The child strayed into the
street directly in the path of a runa-
way team. The faithful horse saw the
child's danger, and reaching over
picked the child up with it's teeth and
placed him on the sidewalk out OF
danger. The horses quick thought
and action saved the child from being
run over and perhaps killed.

chocks itself as the tension of the rope
draws back on the end.
The fly is a covering for the tent and
in wet weather it drains off the water,
thereby keeping the tent proper COM
paratively dry.
In bright weather it can be drawn
out in front of the tent to form a can
opy, and in this manner it gives addi-
tional protected space to sit under and
have good time. The mess kit is a
box with divisions so arranged that a
coffee pot and the necessary cooking
utensils may be carried. The catch-alI
is made of denim or canvas, and will
hold pot covers, spoons, forks, knives
small enameled dishes and a various
assortment of odds and ends that are
part of the camp paraphernalia.
The cots are of canvas and are made
by slipping poles through the outer
edges of canvas strips six feet long
and thirty inches wide. The canvas
is doubled for strength, and five inches
in from the edges several lines or
stitching are run back and forth ia
form the pole pockets, as may be seen
in the drawing of the cot.
The cot poles are supported on
crotched sticks driven into the ground
foot or two, and they should be at
least sixteen inches above the ground
The cot poles and crotches may be
cut in the woods. but the canvas will
necessarily have to be carried from
home. When you reach the woods the
furniture can be made from fence
boards and saplings.
A table is easily made from three
boards, two cross sticks, two sapling
trunks driven in the ground and two
trees, against which one end Of the
table is supported, as shown in the
drawing.

they go, even if it is down in the back
lot near the brook or off in the woods
away from houses and people The all
important feature is that it's a camp
where freedom mingled with novel ex-
periences make the days fly only too
quickly.
For the boys who have not camped,
but who intend doing 1t this summer,
a few suggestions will be of value in
describing the necessary outfit and how
things to make will be a tent and fly,
to make it, for the true camper makes
his outfit rather than buy it. The

pegs and cleats, a mess kit and catch
all, the canvas part to the cots and
bag or two for extra clothing For
party of four boys a tent eight feet
wide. ten feet long and seven feet
high will be large enough for sleeping
quarters and with a fly to cover the
tent completely at night or when it
storms, an extra canopy tent can hs
erected in the daytime.
To make the tent obtain some heavy
unbleached muslin or twilled saileloth
and form one large sheet ten feet wide
and seventeen feet long. Make back,
as shown in fig. 1, eight feet wide,
seven feet high, and thirty inches high
at each side where the aprons TO the
sheet fall, and six feet long on each
pitch where the large sheet forms the
roof. Sew this back piece fast to the
large sheet. Then cut two pieces for
the front just half the size Of fig. l.

middle. Attach these pieces to the

1t is thirty inches above the ground
and seats sixteen inches high can be
constructed at one or both sides.
An ordinary fire of logs and limbs
can be built when required for cook
ing, but for the permanent camper or
one who will stay for a week or two
in one place there is nothing to equal
a stone stove. 1t is made of fiat stones
and mud to fill the spaces and pro-
vided with two openings, according
to which way the wind is blowing, so
that one can be closed with a stone
while the other is open.
1t is constructed so that it tapers at
the top and concentrates all the heat
to the bottom of a kettle or frying
pan. Small pieces of wood may be
dropped in from the top, but the long
er sticks are passed through the
draught hole at the bottom.
A crane, composed of cross bar,
crotched uprghts and supports, is
erected over the stove so pot can be
hung from a wire hook. A double stove
can be made with two openings, so a
pot can boil over one and the other
side may be used for broiling, frying
or other cooking.

PATS uNLUckY ERRAND
BY Erin casey-class A-Flfteen

NCdIo
Eyes, mum, I'm comm" cried Pat,
running up the stairs. On the second
landing he stopped to call for his little
Dutch friend. "Come on, Augie, I have
to take Miss Muligan's rags home;
come and go long, This August con-
sented to do very cheerfully.
In few minutes Pat appeared,
balancing a large basket on his head
with all the skill Of Dutch milkmaid.
He had been thoroughly instructed as
to the car he should take and had been
given bright new dime with which to
pay his fare. When he reached the
sidewalk, where Augie had promised
to meet him, Pat found the lad engaged
in a fist fight with one of the many
boys Of the tenement. This encounter
Pat enjoyed until reused by his mother.
Hurry on there and tend to your busi-
ness or I'll be down and lick the whole
lot of thin if you don't be after taking
those clothes hum in hurry" she
cried.
Pat, at his mothers suggestion, soon
disappeared down the alley, followed by
August, after he had administered a
final kick and cuff to his unfortunate
antagonist Soon they hoped on a
truck that was going in their direction
in order to save the bright new dime
for an agate. which would make the
alley boys weep with envy.
They had gone but short way when
they spied a crowd.
"a fight" cried Pat. "a fight! Let's
go and see it,
In a twinkling they were off the truck
flying to the fight. They twisted their
way through the crowd to the very
point of interest. Just when the fight
had assumed the most serious aspect
lne "A cop! d COp' was 6iNCit'
Instantly the street was cleared and in
the confusion Pat was knocked down,
receiving an ugly cash above his eye.
The entire afternoon was taken up in
this kind of fashion and as conse-
quence Pat arrived home late in the
evening weary and footsore.
When Pat sauntered into the room,
his head bandaged up with one of Miss
Mulligan's handkerchiefs, he found his
mother with the evening paper sprea1
on the table before her, crying bitterly.
"Why, mother, what's up?" the boy
asked. Just as he had finished his
question his eyes beheld this headline:
Terrible wreck on West Third. Colli-
sion between West James and Water
avenue cars at p. m"
AS this was the car Pat was in
structed to take his mother felt sure
he must be one of the injured. When
she found that her boy was safe at
home her tears changed to those of joy

How Camp Life for Boys May
Be Enjoyed During Vacation

Sew four stout canvas loops along
each side of the tent thirty inches mp
from the ground, and through these
pass the guy ropes. The ridge pole is
of planed spruce or pine, ten feet long
three inches wide and one inch and a
half thick. A hole is made near each
end, through which a pin will pass
that in turn is driven into the end of
the uprights, as shown in fig. 2.
The uprights are of spruce, two
inches square, planed on the sides and
corners, and at the end where the pin
is driven ferrule is placed about the
wood to prevent it from splitting
The pins in the uprights should be
long enough to pass through the ridge
pole and project two inches above it,
