dream Who could stretch himself
there, on that hat rock, overlooking
the water, and. looking down into its
crystal depths. believe that the an
cient Greeks were entirely mistaken?
No, it could not be. Their faith was
the faith Of millions. by that fact

Concentration Of the will he
doubted if he was spiritual enough
but he would try. He would coneen-
trate his viii, mind, and all the forces
of his being on this scene until its
secret should be revealed. He would
behold the personality that lent its
invisible charm TO the spot
I will I will!" he repeated, tens
ly, to himself, as he lay stretched on
the rock, while his heart thumped
and his sight became obscured with
the intense application. His senses,
like a high strung instrument, caught
a slight rustic. He looked up and near
Iy swooned.
From a projecting rock, not five
PAGES away, stepped naiad, beauti-
full as Venus and clad only IN her rip
pling hair Poised deftly on a half
submerged log, she plunged into the
lake Gabriel watched her cleaning
body as she shot down in an oblique
course until she nearly touched the
bottom and then with a swift turn,
came again to the surface. Com
pletely entranced, he watched the
beautiful creature disport herself for
some moments Then, all at once,
the significance of it struck him with
overwhelming force. His theory had
proven true, and he was the first hu-
man being, after lapse Of thou
sands of years, to gaze on a scene
such as this A feeling Of exulta-
ton overcame everything else, he
rose to his feet determined to ex-
plore the source of the mystery
Feverishly, he strobe to the rock and
peered over. There at its base lay
bundle Of feminine apparel, tiny
drab volume with gold lettering beside
it, AT that moment cry of horror
arose from the lake-a splash as a
naked body sought to hide itself be-
meath the waters.

GO LONG WITHOUT WATER.
Many Animals Seem to Have No
knowledge Of Thirst.

From our childhood picture book
days nearly every one Of US has cher
ished the idea that the camel was the
beast above all others that could ex-
list for extended periods without drink
ing. An so few of us have any idea
that there are other beasts quite as
capable as the bumped quadruped of
going for from 40 to go days, in win
ter, without drink, grazing on the
green, succulent vegetation of that
season.
Peccaries in the desert Of Sonora
live in little dry hills, where there is
no natural water, for long periods
They cannot possibly find water, in
fact, for months at time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case is
that OF the pocket mouse. one Of the
common rodents of the desert. This
little creature, by the way has gen
uine fur-lined pocket on the outside Of
its cheek. When it Is hungry it takes
food from this pockct with its paw,
just as a man would pull a sandwich
from his pocket
1t is said that one of these mice has
been kept for three years with no
other food than the mixed bird seed
of commerce, During this period it
had not a taste of either water or
green food. Other experiments in this
direction have shown, in fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse such
treats, not seeming to know that wa
ter is good to drink The bird seed
put before the mouse referred to con
tained not more than ten per cent Of
moisture, which is less than is neces-
sary for digestion. STUFF so dry as
this cannot even by swallowed until
it is mostened by saliva, yet this re-
markable mouse gave nothing but his
time to the interests OF science. He
suffered nothing in health or spirits
during his captivity.

A nervous irritable woman, often on

misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-

bands from home but are wholly unit

The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
even-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, I h

irritability Of women arise from some
organic arrangement.

Then, there is attractiveness of fruit.
That this is an important item is evi-
denced by the number Of grades the
shipper has to make in order to meet
the exacting demand of special mar
kets jurisdiction opens up the way
for producing a larger percentage OF
fancy fruit than is the case today. The
third feature is the tendency Of the Ma
vel to puff it's fruit under certain con-
ditions. The range of variation in this
respect which is observable in a single
orchard is immense, for one can often
see trees carrying splendid normal
fruits while all around are to be seen
fruits Of all stages of pufiness. Every
grower of oranges knows that the
breeder who produces a strain which is
able to withstand the tendency to puff
has an immense fortune in his grasp.
These three features have been in
stanced, not because they are only pos
sibi1ities which jurisdiction opens up,
but because they are three problems
which are ever before the grower.

A Horses Memory.

A correspondent of the Chicago
''Tribune" says: "My father had a fine
driving horse that was intelligent and
had learned a number of tricks. One
night he was stolen, and no trace was
found of him for nearly two years,
when one day father met a stranger
driving the horse. and of course claim
ed him. In the DISPUTE which followed
father renq rked that if he was the
horse stolen from him he would, on
being embarrassed. go to the gate, lift
the latch. open the gate, go around the
barn. slide the bolt. open the door and
go into the third stall. The man
agreed to give the horse I'D on these
terms. Thew drove home and I'D the
lane to the barn and embarrassed the
horse, when, without a moments hest
tation, he performed the feats father

A Concrete Water Trough.

If you keep much stock, and espe-
cially if it runs in a pasture, water
trough is a necessity. When made Of
wood they decay and leak and are
generally unsatisfactory. A contributor
to the Progressive Farmer tells how
he made one at small cost which will
last several generations, being almost
indestructib1e. In most parts of this
state it could not be made exactly ac-
cording to his directions for lack of
broken stone. Where obtainab1e, oys-
ter shell would answer very we'll as
substitute. However the trough could
be made from cement and sand, without
either rock or shell. but would, Of
course, cost more, as it would take
more cement. The directions are as
follows:
Nearly every farmer has to have
some sort of a water trough Some
will construct them of plank. others
will chop out a log, while a few will
take the horses to a mud-hole and
avoid all trouble Now, if you have
never used a concrete water trough,
you don't know what great improve
ment it is over other sorts But you
say at once, "That's all right for the
fancy farmer, but I have to make my
living farming." Well, so do l. And
that is exactly why I can't be forever
doing things over and over; must have
time to work at farming.
However, cement water trough is
not as expensive as it looks by a good
deal. That solid substantial appear
ance and everlasting quality are two
Of the things the farmer can get with
a very small outlay of cash when he
once knows how to do the work.
Here is how we made ours four
years ago this fall. We had about
half load of good coarse creek sand
left over from another lob we had
been at. The man was hauling rock
again that day so we had him to dump
a cart load near where we wanted our
trough to be. We fixed up a mortar
box three feet by four, put in this two
buckets of sand and one of best Port
land cement, then more sand and ce-
ment. until there was about six BUSH
els of the pile. We then shove1ed this

had any bottom. The first was set
right on top of the ground where we
wished Our trough to be located and the
other set inside of the first, so there
was six-inch space all around between
the two boxes. Now we sprinkled
about a bushe1 of the cement

HOMEMADE REMEDY
FOR RHEUMATISM.


To relieve the worst forms Of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful
of the following mixture after
each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon.
one ounce: Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Shake well in a bottle.
These harmless ingredients
can be obtained from any good
pharmacy.
This prescription, states
well-knowD authority, forces the
clogged-up, inactive kidneys to
filter and strain from the bloo1
the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid, which causes Rheuma-
tism. Relief is felt from the
first few doses.
II Is said that a person who
would take this prescription reg
ularly. a dose or two daily, or
even few times a week, would
never have serious Kidney or
Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it.
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce,
indeed, and when you need it
you want 1t badly.
