II helps some to read that the Herald
at Lakota has been bought by \. E.
Sheets. a prominent business man and
will be run in the interests of the dem
ocratic party. The last time that the
Herald gained publicity to any extent it
was a lid-holder for the administrative
gang, Its editor, Ernie Kent, getting a
land Office job to ease his elastic CON
science, Since then both the Herald
and Ernie have dropped out of sight.

WE have heard a number OF people
who hold old line insurance policies
talk of giving up on account of ~recentin-
surance disclosures in New York. Our
advice would be for all policy holders to
stick to their contracts. The investiga-
ton shows that we have not only been
paying too much for our insurance, but
they have been robbing us of our right
share of the earnings. The result will be
beneficial to insurance in the end. What
has been lost will probably stay lost, but
the future earnings of the policy holder
will be greater. which will reduce the
cost of future insurance. Instead OF
dropping the policies you have now it is
agood time to take out a new one.

IT is reported the managers of the
system rather hope the supreme court
will decide against the capitol commits
sion scheme, and knock it out. They
are getting a little bit afraid of taking it
into the campaign next year, for fear it
may be too heavy a load to carry. How.
ever, they have tied the mill stone
around their necks, and though they
may succeed in dropping it, the marks
of the chain will still remain.

TIE press dispatches have narrated
that President Roosevelt spent Saturday
night and Sunday of last week in the
oldest town in the United States. But
the historical accuracy of this statement
is not conceded. 1t is true that prior to
the annexation of Texas the quaint old
Florida city of st. Augustine was the
oldest European settlement within our
limits, the Spainard Menendez having
built a fort there in 1855. But with
Texas we took in Ysleta, in Ell Paso
county, which claims an earlier Spanish
origin. In 1910 Francisco Nasquez de
Coronado set out from Culiacan, on the
Pacific Coast of Mexico. on a quest for
gold not unlike that which De Soto was
making at the same time from Florida
into Missouri and Arkansas, and with
results as barren. Among the Pueblo
Indians of New Mexico he gathered
much interesting information. but no
treasure. On this expedition Coronado
took possession of Isleta, a Pueblo vii
lage of unknown antiquity, and though
he did not hold it, antiquarians of the
Southwest claim that a Spanish post
was established there before Menendez
built his fort at st. Augustine. Until
recent years Isleta was a more populous
town than Ell Paso. which by this time
may have outstrippedit it. As all inhabit-
ed place it is. perhaps. like some Ameri-
can towns in New Mexico, somecenturies
older than St. Augustine.

FADELEss CHEEKS OF PINK.
How Women Now Achieve the Bloom
That Won't Come Off.

The idea of ladies having that deli
cate rose color which is the desire Of
all tattoed into their cheeks is not
new, but it is only lately, writes cor
respondent, that permanent tint has
been secured. Formerly there was the
horrible possibility of the beautiful
pink cheeks gradually assuming a pur'
pie tinge.
The new method of ordinary tattoo
ing is by means of an electric needle.
The instrument is welded just like a
pencil, the little needle darting in and
out SO quickly as to be almost imper-
ceptible and forming a very fine line.
which, for patternmaking, is a great
advantage. For the face, however, the
old-fashioned hand needle is often
used, as it gives a soft, bury effect.
1t is another proof of the readiness
of woman to suffer in the cause of
vanity. They are not, however, called
upon to suffer any sensation of pain,
as cocaine is mixed with the paint.
Many clients indifferently read book
during the process. The color is
harmless vegetable dye, and varies
in tone to harmonic with different
compilations. 1t is put on in patch
in the middle of each cheek, and then
gradually shaded off round the edges.
A pair of rosy cheeks complete
takes two sittings of about two hours
each to tattoo, and the sitter general
ly gives her face a weeks rest be-
tween them. When the operation is
over the face is covered first with
cream and then with a busting of
powder. For a couple. of days, the
color is somewhat too vivid, but after
that the upper skin, which has, of
course, been honeycombed by the
needle, comes off in fakes, and under
meath is the rose petal complexion.
large number of men have I'M
dergone the operation. One explained
that he had been in London for the
last few years, but was going down
into the country and wished it to be

abroad He wanted his neck and

Dancer in the Real Thinq.

Ernest Thompson Seton tells about
a resident of county in Western
Texas who started factory in which
he manufactured wolf scalps. The
county paid a bounty of SIS each for
wolves and accepted scalp as evil
dence that the wolf was dead.
This enterprising citizen made a
model on which he could stretch
pieces of the skins of wolves, coyotes
and dogs, and could make admirable
scalps, which he deposited with the
county treasurer and collected the
bounty.
One day the man met Seton. and re-
marked: Say, do you know | came
near getting into trouble? l took Sc
scalps into the county treasurer's Of
fee. l. made IS of them myself and
some wolf grew the other one. Do
you know, the treasurer objected to
the real thing? He regarded it with
suspicion, and for time l thought he
was going to refuse payment. But
the IS that | made were accepted
without a question. Sunday Maya

And then the way opened before
Libby, and she saw her path.
The disinherited child wrote a letter
that night, and to 1t she signed her
mothers name. Out in the world they
might have applied to 1t an ugly word,
but Libby was only caring for ma.
She was long time about it, for it
was hard to put things in Dawes
round, bold hand, and it was hard to
say them in his silky way

it was a matter of but a few days at
most, for ma was much worse.

said, when Libby came in and found
her crying; but l was thinkin' of

him when he was little boy, and how
he used to run about the place, and
how pretty he used to look; and then,
Just as | begin to take a little comfort
in rememberin' some of the smart
things he said, l have to think of
what he has done, and it does seem
like he might have waited till" But
the words were too bitter to be
spoken, and, with a hard. scraping
sound in her throat, she turned her
face to the wall.
Libby put her hand to something in
her pocket, and thought of last nights
work with thankfulness. About eleven
o'clock she entered the room with the
sheets of letter in her hand.
MA" she said TREMENDOUSLY" here's
letter just come from Dave"

the old voice filled the room with its
triumphant ring Then there crept in
to her face an anxious look What
does he say?"
He's sorry about selling the place,
ma. He really thought you'd like 1t
better in town. But he's fixed it up
for us to stay. He says you'll never
have to leave the place"
81 knowed it knowed it well
enough! You don't know Dave like

She did read it, and the old woman
listened with tears-glad tears now
falling over her withered cheeks.
You can just unpack our things"

faith of the mother in her son. And

What Salt Will Do.

Besides being such an essential part
of culinary art salt has many other
uses, perhaps not generally known.
Salt cleanses the palate and furred
tongue, and gargle of salt and water
is often efficacious.
A pinch of salt on the tongue, fol-
lowed ten minutes after by drink
of cold water. often cures sick head
ache.
Salt hardens the gums, makes the
teeth white and sweetens the breath.
Salt added to the water in which
cut flowers stand keeps them fresh.
Salt used dry in the same manner
as snuff will do much to relieve colds.
hay fever, etc.
Salt in warm water, if used for
bathing tired eyes, will be found very
refreshing.
Salt and water will stop hemor-
rhage from tooth-pulling.-The Chi.
