ment, another mighty force" comes
forward as one of great and varied
utility, and Ii is cement Cement has
long been known and valued, but not
until recently has its true worth and
wide utility ~een appreciated. AS cur
timber supply decreases and BECOMES
more valuable. and the human mind
has been bent upon finding substi-
tute and at the same time something OF
more durable nature. cement has
come forward in a wonderful man
ner, and is being daily pat to new
uses. Not only is it receiving notice
as most useful substance with which
to construct large buildings, but side
walks, roads, bridges, floors and even
fence posts are being made of it. And
while its usefulness thus seems to be
understood, it is destined to play a
still greater part in our future build
ing economy. Farmers will soon be-
gin to use it in constructing their
steps. porch floors, veranda posts. sta
bic floors, hoS-pen floors, fence posts
and in many other useful and neces-
sary ways. We must not only have
better and more convenient buildings
upon our farms, but we must build to
last-the day for temporary structures
has passed. In our stables and barns
we must not only have an eye to the
durable, but we must build so as to
save every ounce Of fertilizing valve
in our manure. Let every farmer, who
has any building to do, take cement
into consideration. 1t is factor you
can not afford to ignore. The farmer,
too, must have the best.-Southern Cul.

OF the western plains and the big
wolves found in the Ozark region. In
general appearance they bear q re-
semblance TO the Scotch collie dog.
They live In unfreQuented places.
generally in the timber or along the
streams, and a favorite abode is in
caves or under overhanglng lodges
of stone
Scratching out shallow hole in the
ground they line 1t with small sticks
and dry leaves. Here the mother wolf
takes care OF her young, while the
father is securing the country for
miles around in search of food.
He is rarely seen by day, and then
only for an instant, for he seems to
melt away like a mist into the weeds
or brush, his tawny hide making II
easy for him to disappear from sight
His skill In eluding his enemies, es-
pecially human, is remarkable. and
this is one of the most aggravating
things about him. If hunter sue
ceeds in getting within gunshot of
him the chances are 10 to 1 that no
damage will be inflicted.
His hide is so thick and tough and
is covered with such a heavy coat of
fur that an ordinary discharge from
shotgun has little or no effect. With
an ease that is exasperating he SIM
ply lopes out of danger and is soon
lost in the brush.-Kansas City Star.

AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS.
Terrible ScaIy Humor in Patches All

Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.

Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.
IL was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty
five years. It was in patches all over my
body. L used three cakes of Cuticura
Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bot
ties of Resolvent. In thirty days 1 was
completely cured, and 1 think permanent
ly, as 1t was about five years ago. The
psoriasis first made its appearance in red
spots, generally forming a circle, leaving
IN the centre a spot ABOUT the size of
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form a
heavy dry scale of white silvery appear
snce, and would gradually drop off. To
remove the entire scales by bathing or
using oil to soften them the flesh would
be perfectly raw, and 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 it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp. IL l let the
scales remain too long without removing
by bath or otherwise, the skin would
crack and bleed. l suffered intense itch
ing, worse at nights after getting warm
In bed, or blood warm by exercise, when
1T would be almost unbearable. w. Nj.

BY Associated Press.

Hazelhurst, Miss, Dec. 5.-The trial
on charge of murder of Mrs. Angie
BirdsOng. a young member Of one OF
the most prominent families in Mis-
sissippi, began to-day, the choosing
of jury having been completed.
Mrs. Birdsong shot and killed DR..
T. H. Butler, also a member Of a
prominent family, and nephew of for
mer Governor Longino, Of Mississippi,
on November %, 1905. The shoot
ing occurred in Dr. Buffers Office in
Monticello, Miss, where Mrs. Bird
song resided. The young woman
went to the office, waited until a pa.
tient had completed his Interview
with the physician, and then enter
ing Dr.. Buffers presence, fired five
shots. Going to the stfeet, she re-
marked to the gathering crowd that
they would find the result Of her
work upstairs in the doctors Office
and then surrendered herself to the
sheriff. Although admitting the sAoCt
ing, she has not let her line of de-
tense become public and the interest
in the case has been heightened by
the SuDSSQuSuI IuulCllHSnI vi itCl
husband on charge Of being an &C
cessory. He is not, however, to be
tried at the present time.
A few days before the shooting
Mrs. Birdsorg attenTn+rs,' Suicide At
finer preliminary hearing, her mother
in-law testified that the prisoner had
experienced some mental agitation
over rumors concerning her charac
ter.
The prominence Of both families in
the case and intense feeling in Mon
ticello caused n change of venue tc
be granted. Mrs. BirdsOng is about
% years of age, and her youth and
the presence in court Of her two
small children have already exertet
strong sympathetic influence on the
case, making the choice of jury
very difficult.
Among the special counsel present
at the trial are Senator A. ]. McLau
rim, former Governor LonginO, A. n
