Many farmers in the northern
and eastern states are selling their
high priced lands and locating in
the southwest. Many who have
been unable to own their homes in
the older country are buying land
in the new country.
Unusual opportunities exist along
the lines of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain Route. The rich,
alluvial, delta lands and river bot
toms lands of Southeast Missouri,
Eastern Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, capable Of producing 90
bushels of corn, a bale of cotton,
4 to 6 tons of alfalfa, 80 bushels of
potatoes, and other grains, vege-
tables and hay crops, can be bought
for $50 to $500 per acre. When
cleared and slightly improved will
rent for S4.00to 5000 per acre cash.
Uplands more rolling, lighter soil,
adapted to fruit contingencies,
pears, plums, grapes, berries-alSo
melons, tomatoes and other vege
tables, can be bought for $500 to
$1,000 per acre in unimproved state.
Many places with small clearings
and some Improvements can be
bought very cheap.

CLIMATIC CURES

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaust
ton due to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are BEN
efted and regain strength are those who

regular size, 75c. AT all druggists.

of congress. That the bitterness OF Sec
tionalism has passed away is shown by
no body of men more than by the sur
viving soldiers on both sides. They
learned TO respect each other, even on
the battlefield, and after the conflict
was over that respect mellowed into
love- If they can forgive and forget,
why should not all others. be equally
generous and magnanimous? There
was no question of north and south
among the soldiers Of the Spanish war.
Why should there be any such question
among the people at large? America is
one forevermore. Let the flowers Of
Memorial day fall on the grave of ev-
cry soldier regardless of the side on
which he fought. BY no single act can
the ties of union be made stronger.
In keeping with this sentiment sec
ton OF Arlington cemetery has been
set aside for the burial oe1he Confed-
crate dead. Special appropriation was
made by congress for this purpose,
which action called forth a resolution
of thanks from the United Confederate
veterans In the reunion at Memphis.

feeling now existing between the sec
tons one needs but to recall the bur-

The Stone Forests of Arizona.

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifactions, whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint but which look as if but
recently stripped of their foliage. Some
of these stone trees are standing just
as natural as life, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarch of a real wood forest.
Biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to the depth of a
thousand feet with mari, which trans
formed them from wood to solid rock
This mari after the lapse of ages wash
ed out, leaving some of the trees stand
ing in an upright position. The major
ity of them, however, are piled heller

cords being sometimes piled up on an

FOND OF FINERY.
Elephants Delight In Dress and Cor
gcOus Trappings.


Elephants are passionately fond of
finery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappings.
The native princes of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fanciful standards they have
erected.
For these they have made cloths of
silk so heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession of a
rajah being i'll, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had
up to that time occupied only subor-
dinate place.
The animal, delighted with its finery,
showed its glee by so many little
sQueaks and kicks of pleasure that gen.
eral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state process.
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of the gold cloths, being re.
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de.
graded beast, imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded of his promo.
ton, was with great difficulty restrain
ed from attacking the leader of the
parade.

ECZEMA.
The Way to Treat This Distressipu
AnlictfOn

Eczema can, even when inherited. be
controlled by attention to the general
principles Of health-cleanliness exer.
else, proper diet, clothing and ventila-
ton. Eczema patients, old and young,
should never use stimulants in any
form. They should take daily baths
and be most particular as to the regu-
larity of all important bodily functions.
Occasional doses of mild saline aI5eri-
ents, such as cream tartar, phosphate
of soda or the old fashioned remedy of
lac sulphur and cream tartar, mixed in
equal quantities, with enough molasses
to form creamy paste and taken
three times day for ten days running.
then omitted until again required, will
be found of wonderful benefit. Let the
patient drink freely of lemonade and
avoid salt meats, pork in any form,
and live upon a diet of fruits, red
meats and antiscorbutic vegetables.
Many people are particularly suscep-
tible to shellfish, and case of eczema
sometimes follows the eating of lobster
repeatedly. Strawberries will also pro-
duce this effect frequently. Vigorous
exercise will often, by inducing excess
i've perspiration, act as Il curative for
eczema, particularly when combined
with the use of a harmless external
application. Sulphur baths are effica-
cious for most skin diseases. If posi-
BILE, it is we'll to take them in an estab-
lished bath house, but they may be pre-
pared at home as follows: To each ten
gallons Of water add an ounce of sui
phuret of potassium, or to each fifteen
gallons of water add an ounce of sui.
phuret of calcium. Where there is itch
ing and the eruption seems virulent the
sulphur bath is excellent as a prelimi.
nary treatment.

CRUE- PUNISHMENTS.
The Old Time Use of Torture In Legal
Processes.

The Old Time Use of Torture In Legal
Processes.
The constitution Of the United States
and the constitutions of the various
states in prohibiting cruel and unusual
punishments were not fighting an alb
surdity. The use of torture in legal
processes was not, when these instru-
ments were framed, so remote as it is
now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed con-
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. One had a bodkin thrust
through his tongue and was chained
to tree until he died. Others were
broken on the wheel. 1t is quantity
stated that Sir Thomas was "a man
Of good conscience and knowledge in
divinity" Dole's date was 1911.
The next notable instance of the use
of torture was in 1892, in the Salem
witchcraft excitement, when Giles
Cory was pressed to death-the "peine
dure ct forte" the most horrible of
deaths.
Executions were in public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Quelch, the pirate, and
six others were hanged in Boston, Sew
all wrote in his diary, when the scat
fold was let to sink there was such q
screech Of the women that my wife
heard it, sitting in our entry next to
the orchard" though the gallows was
a mile away and the wind unfavorable.
The use of torture to wiring the truth
from witnesses is said to have been rec
ognized as legal in Austria until we'll
within the century

CURIOUS FISH.
They Keep Their Eggs In Natural
Pockets In Their Mouths.

Pockets In Their Mouths.
In the sea of Galilee, or Lake Tibe-
rias, as it is also called, there is a
strange fish named the Chromis simo-
mis-, which is more careful of its young
than fish generally are. The male
takes the eggs in his mouth and keeps
them in his natural side pockets, where
they are regularly Matched and remain
until able to shift for themselves. By
this ingenious arrangement the brood
is comparatively guarded against its
natural enemies 1t is easily fed, too,
but 1t is a puzzle how the little ones
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago,
says traveller writing to a religious
contemporary, l found In my net a
number of these fish without eyes.
Others of the species, when 1 lifted
them up, dropped a number Of little
fishes out of their mouths, which swan
away hastily. The natives explained
the phenomenon. The blind chromis
is the victim Of sea hawks. When
begin to look out for tidbits. After
catching q fish they hit its forehead
with their sharp beak, knocking out
the middle part in which their eyes are
set. The bony structure is dropped
into the water, but the eyes are eaten
by the birds with great relish.
Strangely enough, the fish generally
survive this rough treatment. The
wound heals up quickly in water, and
they continue to ply the lake for food
as if nothing had happened.-London
