The Eouine Buebear of the Cowboys Dunhead Range

IRON the Two Bell ranch on the Dru1nhead range
there strayed into the bad lands small bunch
- of brood mares. Some years later band OF
wild ponies appeared on Drumhead ridge. Two or
three of these-one pure white-were recognized as
Two Bell stock On the heights of Drumhead the
wild ponies increased, undsturbed by the cow1nen:
In the of time the band numbered several
animals, which began to attract attention. One of
these, the leader of the herd, had peculiar mark
ings, and was dubbed the Painted Comanche. The
ground color of this wild fellow white, with curl
ously shaped shields of black on the sides and
lanks. One fore leg bay red from shoulder to
fetlock black patch covered each eye, another
marked the base of an ear, the name was black and
the eyes were white.
Comanche as he was usually called, seldom
from the cowmen unless directly chased, and then
he would lead his band straight up or down the
with saddle and rider, could possibly follow. When
a man of the range rode quietly by, Painted Co
1nanche would lift his head and snort defiance, sell
dom running as far hundred yards away. He
would blow his shrill whistle as long the intruder
stood and his white eyes staring from their centers
of black, gave him an eery appearance The line
riders made uncom plimentary remarks concerning
his disposition.

ranch buildings the best roper begged to be allowed
to change horses and follow the wild Comanche.
But the foreman was inexorabe. We've done

Now you lay off and grow wise
Two three days later, at break of day, Nat
and his were jerked out of their blankets by
an uproar at the horse corral. Hastily dressing:
they rushed out to find half dozen lengths of
woven wire down three ponies helplessly entangied
and the rest led by the Painted Comanche, sailing
away toward Drumhead hills.
The Comanche had shed his encumbrance and,
gathering his courage had made bold run for his
herd. Woven wires, unseen IN the darkness had
given way to his charge. The shock must have
been tremendous; but the wild fellow had appar

Yet. the eight cowmen returned from the hunt
that night and for many nights thereafter, having
had proverbial fshermans luck. In vain did they
lay cunning snares for the wild ones in vain tried to
surround and worry them out, and even failed in an
attempt to walk them down. The Painted Comanche
had developed the cunning of a fox, and finally
led his band not away from, but directly into, the
teeth of pursuit Some toll was taken as the herd
swept by but only from the feebler and compar-

Should Football Be Abolished.

Many teachers and professors last year
decided that football should be abol-
ished, but it isn't going to be suppressed
for the simple reason that there is moth
lug to take its place. Other games have
not the vim and dash tIat this one has
nor do they appeal SO favorably tothe
American youth. In medicine the same
argument can also be offered. Take
Hostetter 'sStomach Bitters for instance.
Search where you will you'll find moth

curing dyspepsia, indigestion, costive-

to Cure Indigestion.

A few years ago, when sufferer

But the first thing to do in the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness il
to strengthen the muscular walls Of
the stomach and intestines, SO that
they will care for the food that is eat.
en-. In no other way can this be
done as we'll as by taking Mi-o-na
tablet before each meal. This re.
stores strength to the stomach mus

gastric juices, 80 that the food is di.
gested readily and its nourishment

sleeplessness and the many other symp-
toms that are the direct result of in

The stomach must be built up and
strengthened by Mi-o-na. before you
can be well and strong, free from suf-

VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Something Every Person In Shepherds
town, W. Va, Should Know.

Nearly three hundred years have
passed since the medicinal, curative
elements known to exist in the cod 8
liver were first discovered and recog-
uized by physicians as specific in
the treatment Of pulmonary and vast
ing diseases, and as a body-builder
rand strength creator; but how to ex-
tract those medicinal elements from
the oil in which they were enveloped,
has been the study of some Of the
most expert chemists in the world.
Now, the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists, Morgues
and Gautier, should interest every per-
son In Shepherdstown. By an eI-
tractive concentrating process they
discoyered a way to separate the tonic,
body building and curative elements
contained in fresh Gods iivers from
their useless oil. By this process vi
mol is made.
Because Vinol contains no oil, but
embodies all the medicinal value of
cod liver oil, with tonic iron added, it
is fast superseding old.fashioned cod
liver oil, and emulsions. AS body
builder and strength creator for old
people, weak women, delicate children,
after sickness, and for all pulmonary
troubles, nothing has ever been known
to excel Vinol. We ask Shepherds
town people to try Vinol on our offer
to return their money if 1t does not
give satisfaction. Remnants Phar.
