GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Ranchman Rode Far After Most seri.
Gus Injury.

Jack Farland, a ranchman living at
the base of Pixies Peak, and whose
post Office is Midland, in this county,
yesterday suffered a broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest of pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing, however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi-
BILE 1t would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely of his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by a surgeon of
this city, Farland collapsed and it
was late in the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having hap
pened early in the morning.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. Ii should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
II there is any suspicion of damp
ness in bedroom it is probably due,
If there is wallpaper On the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, Ill
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec-
ton of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
never flakes of, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filed
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to- carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order The doors
should be wiped of frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping

100000. Only few years ago Aus
tralia was first, possessing no less
than LOG, 260, 900 head of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions Of Australian sheep. but since

Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced in 1897, being OF the Spanish
merino species.
