The men watched the chase, with load
ed rifles ready. On reaching camp Bill

you to run that distance with the bear
so close when you might have killed

How Would You Like This Butterf

The Moor prepares butter in an
original way and gets a different taste
from the usual one. Fresh butter C'si-
bida," as he calls IT, as known by us,
he despises and uses only for cooking.
1t must be old II ii Is to be liked. After
1t has lain In hole In the ground for
some years and has got a certain ap-
pearance 1t becomes delicacy. To
make butter a goatskln is turned In
side out 1t Is filled with milk. bound
tight and tied to tree. There 1t Is
beaten backward and forward till the
butter is made That Is why you can
not get butter In Morocco without hairs
all through 1t. The butter Is then laid
on pieces of wood and the maker goes
to sell It, Possible buyers lift the
dirty cover put In their fingers and
take out taste and If the goods do
not please close it down again and the
salesman pursues his way.

Nel.on In Wolner,n Tomb.

Lord Nelson's sarcophagus in st.
Paul's cathedral has been APPLY de-
scribed as secondhand national
tomb, for 1t was originally constructed
for another great Englishman, Cardi-
nal Wolsey. Wolsey had cherished an
ambition to be buried within the pre-
clncts OF Windsor castle and caused
his sarcophagus to be carved by one OF
the most famous sculptors of his time.
But Wolsey died in disgrace, and the
Rarcophagus remained empty at Wind
sor until Nelson's death, when 1t was
thriftlly employed to hold the remains
of the hero of Trafalgar.

sciatioa Cured After Twenty Y. ara
of Torture

For more than twenty years Mr. J. B.
Massey, of 1922 Clinton St. Minneapolis
Mimi, was tortured by sciatica. The pain
and suffering which he endured during this
time is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until he used
thamberain's Pain Balm. One application
OF that liniment relieved the pain and made
sleep and rest possible. and less than one
bottle has effected a permanent cure. If
troubled with sciatica or rheumatism why
not try a as cent bottle of Pain Balm and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain.

Water should be before horses at all

the Outing Magazine. The shy drinker
may be tempted by many articles, like
mixing a little moasses, or salt. or oat-
meal, or faxseed jelly. or bran, ETC.

the flavor. Horses may even have all
they want right after feeding, provided
they have not been deprived of water
