LACY'S LUCK


81 AC1 was rne unIuckiest man on
JLh Oil creek in the early sixties.
He left his desk resolved to
make fortune in oil Others were
getting rich-why not he? He had
an incentive. The brightest truest
face in the world rose before his eyes
as he toiled at his we'll 1t was his
own now. His partner grew heart
sick after working six months. He
had invested an equal amount; both
added their Drawn. They drilled it
themselves. But the tools stuck"
More than a month was lost. Then
they struck "nigger-head." a hard
rock disheartened them. After that
they struck a clay vein that ran in

again. 1t was then Hank Waters
from Butler, said to the young man:
Here, Lacy, I'm going to quit"
But how am 1 to manage alone,
Waters?

your time If you hang on"
81 won't give up"

But If 1 get oil?'

Lizards thar Walk on Two Feet.

Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard, which is three
or four feet in length, keeps quite erect
when traversing long distances on
land. 1t is found in the neighborhood
of river banks and passes much Of its
time in shallow water.
The frilled lizard of Queensland also
travels on its hind legs on level
ground, keeping the frill folded while
running. When attacked it expands
this fold of skin, which stands out like
ruff at right angles round the neck,
giving it formidable aspect so that
dogs that attack and kill larger liz
ards will often retreat before frilled
lizard at bay.
There is also tree lizard In Aus
tralia that moves in a similar way.
All these species walk on all fours
when merely moving about or going
short distances.

ga book about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"
"Did they help you at once?"
az began to feel better the second day

they cure thoroughly, for a long time

Hartly dismounted and followed
Lacy on the derrick. There the slack

Hartly in his excitement.
''Take in the slack and try awhile" !"

The Best shampoo for the Hal

Many shampoos are recommended for
the. hair, as egg, bicarbonate of soda,
ammonia, etc. While these may be good,
their indiscriminate use is injurious. The
only thing that can be prescribed for all
is good, pure soap and plenty of water.
Use Ivory soap and dissolve it in the
water instead of rubbing on the hair.
