The sun was two hours high. but

"Whoa!" and the old mule stopped
short in his tracks, as he had a habit
OF doing whenever his long, alert ears
caught the sound of the vowel o, even
in the most casual conversation.
Jerked the plow out of the furrow,
hastily scraped the share of clinging
soil with my bare foot, unlocked the
trace chains and looped them over the
names; the lines | passed and tied
through the bit rings and then jumped
over the sharp-ridged back that quiv.

set off toward the house.
MY mother was at the woodpile
gathering chips into her apron.

fool mule in the ribs, for he had

the watering trough and, taking out
the bride bit, waited for my mule to
drink. He took his time, as usual,
nuZzling in the water and turning
away to survey the landscape.
We'll, finish tomorrow darn you!"
/ said, at last, and dragged him away
to the barn. There stripped the har-
ness from him, filled his manger with
hay and walked resolutely to the
house. Mother was inside now, for
which was thankful. and l heard the

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible Scaly Humor In Patches All
Over the 5ody-skln Cracked and
6leedina-Cured by Cutcura.

81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. II was In patches
all over my body. l used three cakes
OF Cuticura Soap. six boxes OF ONT
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days l was completely cured
and think permanently, as 1t was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming n circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of a
saver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
on. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although 1t was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If l let the
scales remain too long without remov'
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. / suffered in
tense itching. worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. W. NJ. Chidester, Hutch

Future Aerial NAVIGATION.

If there is any connection between
ballooning and aerial navigation it is
remote The airship of the future
probably will not have zen a speak
ing acquaintance with the clumsy gas
bag that now is a necessary part OF
the apparatus by the aid of which
aeronauts rise from the earth and ac'
complish brief flights. Some day scien.
lists will conquer the real theory OF
flight. M lch progress has been made
in that direction already through
study of the mechanical principle op-
Grated by birds. Once those princi'
pies are discovered and the problem
of their application is solved, man
will build himself a actual airship
having a commercial value. Then the
question of the weight to be raised
will be relative only and the airship
will be as Independent of air currents
as the sea-going ship now.-Columbus
