A >s~man.s Compiexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or 'Iocal" treatment, as advocated
by the ''beauty doctors" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver. cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion It also cures cousti-
patton, bliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

Once John Muir, author and ranch
man, was dining with a friend. They
sat down, and Muir began to tell q
story. The waiter came around several
times, but the story was so good moth
ing was ordered. Muir talked and talk
ed. and in between he would reach
over and break off a piece Of bread
from a French loaf on the table. This
he did good many times. The story
reminded him Of another, and so he
talked and ate bread until finally, being
very hungry. his companion broke In
with:
'Well, what shall order for you, Mr..
Muir"
"Order?" he repeated in his abstrac.

He looked over at the last little re-

"Now, Goodnight, the cattleman, set
these contra-cattle and buffalo OBJ
servations off against each other, and
saw that If, by s-breeding, he could
add to the cattle the desirable qualities
of the buffalo, he would have a new
hybrid that might possess the best
traits Of both. Doubtless the problem
would never have occurred to an ordi-
nary cattleman. But, as James Adair,
the capitalist had judged, the former
pathfinder and scout was not an ordi-

A New Meat for the Millions.

BY cross breeding buffalo and cattle
Charles Goodnight, q western cattle
man, claims to have created new meat
which will feed the misunderstanding
to the January American Magazine,
which contains all the facts. Eleanor
Gates writes the story. In private life
she is Mrs. Richard Tully, wife of the
dramatist who wrote The Rose of
Rancho" A short time ago she visited
Mr.. Goodnight on his ranch and got the
article. Following is . brief extract:
Every plainsman of olden times
knew that the very buffaloes which
were contesting the ranges with the
ter's shortcomings. On the contrary,
they possessed a number of excellent
traits that the tame bovines lacked.
When a heelfy, that tormentor of 'whi
faces and 'longhorns, buzZed about a
buffalo, the latter tucked his feet under
him, lay complacently chewing his cud,
and let Mr.. Heelfiy buzz. When pack
of lobos came looking for a succulent
buffalo calf they seldom got one. For
the wild herd was smart enough to BIZ
vouac in such a manner that the babies
might be protected The title ones were
gathered together at the center of the
camp ground. The mothers settled
down in circle that enclosed their
progeny. And another and outer circle
was formed by the watchful fathers.
CAN of which proved that buffalo had
better instinct, or reason, than a steer,)
And buffaloes were heavier than cattle,
having fourteen ribs in place of thir-
teen, but smaller weight of viscera.
They were doubly long lived. More
over, on green quantity of grazing
land, large number of them could
live WE'LL while the same number of
cattle would drop weight and take to
useless wandering. For killing, the buf-
faloes, owing to the fact that they had
never been used as beasts of burden,
possessed cellular tissues of fat like
that of other wild cattle, and their flesh
was better marbled than the best beef
breeds of domestic herds; in other
words, there were no alternating mus

CREDITORS CLAIM 100000.
Many Seek to Secure Funds from
Failed Corwith Bank.

Many Seek to Secure Funds from
Failed corwith Bank.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 26.-Creditors of
John H. Standring, absonding cashier
Of the State Bank Of Corwith, met here
and filed claims before Referee Frank
Farrell to the amount of 100000. The
largest of these is by the bank of
which he was formerly cashier and
which he wrecked, and was for $140,-
900. The others range from $4,000
down to 5000. In the course of tn.
proceedings it developed that the miss
ing cashier has but one asset of real
estate, which was valued at $4,000.
A year ago last month Standring
left Corwith on a night train and the
last heard from him was a letter from
Minneapolis in which he enclosed some
papers and a short letter There was no
intimation that anything was wrong
with the banks affairs and it was
claimed by his brother-in-l law, Mr..
Stilson, who was president of the bank,
that there was no cause for his sud
den departure that he knew of. An
investigation of the affairs of the bank
which followed showed that the insti
tuition had been wrecked by the miss
ing cashier for sum which reached
over 100000. The capital stock of the
bank was something like 100000.
The affairs Of the bank have since
been reviewed in the federal court in
this city and an appeal taken from
the bankruptcy proceedings before
