Why SIoan's Eminent and Vet.
Urinary Remedies Are the Best
to Use.
Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are the
safest and most practical on the mar
ket to-day. In the first place, DR.. Earl
S. Sloan is the son Of a veterinary sur
geon, and from his earliest infancy he
was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while yet
very young. He practiced as a veteri-
nary for twenty years, and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of ex-
perilnents made to save life or relieve
suffering while he was practicing his
profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
s. Sloan, 615 Albany street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise on
the Horse" free. This book tells how
to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and poul-
try.

A herd of wild Asian buffaloes will
charge any foe, even a tiger, to save
the life of one Of their number that has
been wounded. Elephants, balloons
and other animals will do the same
thing in wild state.
On the other hand, monkeys have
been known to fall upon one Of their
number that is i'll and drown him, pos
sibly as an act of mercy. Similarly
wolves destroy one of the pack that
becomes helpless.
If an otter is trapped, his brother OF
tiers will run around him all night,
showing the utmost concern.
A writer in the London Spectator
states that he has seen sparrowS in
groups discussing and lamenting when
one of their number had fallen into
trap. Next day, when robin was
caught, the sparrows paid no attention.
He adds that he had seen a big pig
try to help smaller one through
hole in the fence paling by pulling at
its head.

LAND OF TALL sASSAFRAS.
Western Oklahoma Has Trees that
Would AstOnish Rest of World.

Western Oklahoma Has Trees that
Would AstOnish Rest of World.
How many persons ever saw sassa-
fras tree forty feet in height and from
twelve to fourteen inches in circumfer-
ence? asks the Kansas City Star. The
number is so few that most persons
would be unable to identify a sassafras
tree of this size in the forest. The
sassafras Of Missouri, Illinois and In
diana is seldom much higher than a
mans head, and bears q slight resem-
blance to those of treelike size.
Oklahoma, however, has fOrty-foot
sassafras trees, and in a portion of
the state where they would be
least looked for, near the town of
Grand, Day County, which, adjoins the
Pan Handle of Texas, which ignorant
Eastern Oklahomans believe to be
land short of grass and hot winds, is
beautiful grove where many speci-
mems of these big sassafras trees may
be found They have few branches,
and most of them are at the crown of
the tree. The bark grows in wedge
like projections and is so peculiar in
appearance that it instantly strikes the
attention of stranger, and adds to his
confusion in his attempt to identify
the tree.
The tree growth in the neighborhoOd
of Grand is unexcelled anywhere else
in Oklahoma, save in the rich bottom
lands of the Arkansas river. Springs
abound everywhere, and in the neigh
borhood of these springs forests of
walnut, elm, oak, sassafras and per-
simmon have sprung up. In the South
Canadian river valley a mile or so
northwest of Grand is a persimmon
grove containing hundreds Of trees,
many of them from twenty-five to thir-
ty-five feet in height, that is the won
der Of travellers. This grove produces
enough persimmOns annually to load a
freight. train, and the trees show all
the luxuriance of an abundant rain
fall and a rich soil.
The geographical location of Day
County fustifies the belief that it is not
adapted to agriculture. The crops
grown there year after year, however,
l1iscredit this opinion. Better corn,
kafir, etc., this year, cannot be found
in any other portion Of Oklahoma.

Heart Action on shipboard.

Gall hearts sound alike on these mod
ern ships" said the surgeon of trans
atlantic liner. Although the hull of
the average modern steamer is bigger
and supposedly less subject to the VIC
lence of the sea, the machinery to drive
the enlarged hulls has been increased
in size With the increase in the size
of the engines there has followed great
err vibration.
"It is this vibration which makes it
impossible for us to read truly the
action of the average human heart. l
have tried repeatedly by all manner of
means to overcome the influence of
the vibration on the heart, but l find
that by even swinging a patient in a
hammock, where the shaking up is not
greatly felt, the result of the heart
reading is far from satisfactory. vi
bration does not hurt the heart any.

The Pygmx Cattle OF samoa.

The Samoan Islands are the natural
habitat of the most diminutive species
of variety Of the genus hos now known
to the naturalist. The average weight
of the males of these lilliputian cattle
seldom exceeds 200 pounds, the average
being not greater than $50 pounds. The
females usually average about a hun
dred pounds larger and are very
"stoclzy" built, seldom being taller than
a Mexican sheep. These dwarf cattle
are nearly all Of the same color-red
dish mouse color, marked with white.
They have very large heads as COM
pared with their bodies and their horns
are Of exceptional length.

south American Tales of Marvellous
Bird HppnOtism.
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Bur
roughs are needed at once in the south
ern part of South America, for even
I'm that distant region some nature
faker' is appearing, with none to say
him nay. In a recent number Of the
Revista del Jardin Zoologic0 de Buenos
Aires are number of short articles by
the director of the gardens, Sig. Gle
mente Onelli. One, dealing with the
habits of birds of prey in general,
reads, after translation, as follows, says
the New York Post:
"Our privateer now turns his evil
eye on a dazed group Of little chick
ems, and toward them he directs his
flight. The anxious mother succeeds in
covering all save one, which, petrlhed
with terror, gives a pitiful little 'pio
pio, but is glued to earth by the gleam-
ing and fascinating eyes of the pirate
bird, which drops like an arrow, and,
without so much as putting foot to
earth, carries off the unfortunate chick.
MANY times have 1 seen this scene
repeated. l have even seen hawks by
the power of their gaze alone render
immovable chicken which they had
selected as their victim. Therefore l
cannot doubt that the gaze of these ra-
pacious birds has a hypnotic power,
and indeed this agrees well with the
popular BELIEF, current in the provinces,
about the little owl. 1t is said that
this little tyrant does not even take the
trouble to hunt its food, but that from
the branch of a tree, by means of its
cold and insistent gaze, it lures into
It's talons the trembling victim OF It's
choice.
Perhaps the herons possess the same
hypnotic power, their eyes producing
the same disagreeable sensation as
those of reptiles. Their method at the
margin of the water, which at first
sight seems to me the same as that OF
the patient fisherman with his rod, re-
suits in a very different harvest. The
fisherman often wastes his time, since
the uSu 10 HOl care " NC SoH' ~
into a savory dish for the table. Mean
while the heron, after two or three
minutes of absolute immobility, its evil
gaze fixed on the water, invariably cap
lures its fnny prey.
81 have seen a great gray heron sur
prise a dove in the same manner. The
dove seemed to me to fall asleep IN
der the gaze of it's tormentor, and little
by little to sink to the ground under
the weight of that steely look. The
Door victim came to itself too late.
Alas! the strong, cruel beak had pene-
trated its palpitating side"

TeO Late.

G. Stanley Hall, the president of

at Worcester that the American baby
suffered from not being allowed to
creep.
Creeping" explained this brilliant
psychologist, strengthens the chest,
back, arms and shoulders. Young moth
ers should remember this. Even though
the floor does soil their white clothes a
little, the creeping exercise should not
be denied to babies"
He paused and smiled sadly.
There is one baby, now stopped
lad in knickerbockers, for whom, alas,
1 sound this warning too late" he said.

Old Favorites
Two Women,


Two Women.
The shadows lay along Broadway,
Twas Near the twilight-tide,
And slowly there a lady fair
Was walking in her pride.
Alone walked she; but, viewlcssly,
Walked spirits at her side.
Peace charmed the street beneath her
- feet,
And Honor charmed the air;
And all astir looked kind on her,
And called her good as fair
For all God ever gave to her
She kept with chary care.
She kept with care her beauties rare
From lovers warm and true,
For her heart was cold to all but gold,
And the rich came not to WOO
But honored well are charms to sell
If priests the selling do.
Now, walking there was one more fair
a slight girl, lily-pale;
And she had unseen company
To make the spirit quail
'Twixt Want and Scorn she walked for
lorn,
And nothing could avail.
No mercy now can clear her brow
For this worlds peace to pray;
For, as loves wild prayer dissolved in air,
Her woman's heart gave way!
But the sin forgiven by Christ in heaven
By man is cursed Away!
N. 2. Willis.
LO, the Poor Indian.
Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored
mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the
wind;
His soul proud science never taught to
stray
Far as the solar walk or milky way;
Yet simple nature to his hope has given,
Behind the cloud topp'd hill, all humber
heaven;
Some safer world in depth of woods en-
brac'd,
Some happier island in the watery waste,
Where slaves once more their native land
behold,
No fends torment, no Christians thirst
for gold.
To be, contents his natural desire;
He asks no angels wing, no seraph's fire;
But thinks admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shall bear him company.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
