tramp, which is never to end He FOL
lows the trail, having no compass and
knowing little or nothing of the coun-
try beyond, except that it is 30 miles
to the next spring and twice that dis
lance to the next ranch. He may
reach his destination and he may not.
Frequently he falls victim to heat
or thirst, for men have died OF thirst
though having jars of water in their
possession. The heat has burned out
the spark of life or literally bursts the
head open. Skeletons are found In the
sands and among the rocks-some VIC
tins of thirst, others of the thieving
tramp in quest of provisions. Inc
desert tramp is more desperate than
his brother of civilization. The nerce
climate has brought out his brutal ma
ture and his hand is against anyone
he meets in this desolate country
where everything in nature is at war,
even the elements.
According TO the experience OF min
ing prospectors who have traverseu
the worst parts of Death Valley, the
desert has a peculiar influence upon
it's dwellers. 1t turns the brain or
many, and those who have once jour
neyed across it become fascinated ana
return. 1t seems to exert an influence
that never can be overcome.
The prospector is another desert
type-half mining prospector and half
tramp. He shuns civilization until his
grub stake" is exhausted, when ne
returns for another supply. These
grub-stake eaters are curious study
in human nature; more so than the
ordinary desert tramp, for they are
shrewd, possess some business ca
pacity, and talk intelligently or per-
suasively.
The prospector expects to unearth
rich mine, and lives in expectancy ana
hope.
Unless he finds mine his only re-
ward is bacon, flour, beans and coHee'
his grub stake. His home is on the
desert-where night overtakes MIN.
When he visits civilization, it Is TO
get another backer-a grub stake or
provisions sufficient to last him two or
three months, and perhaps another
burro. This costs about $50.
He does not go to the "tenderfoot,'
but to the merchant or mining man.
They are the easiest" The city man
who knows is more often taken In
than the countryman, who usually Is
suspicious of everything. The tramp
prospector tells the mining operator
story about rich indications
haps it is the long-lost Gunsite mine
or the Breyfogle.
Hundreds of men have gone out to
locate these bonanzas and scores OF
them never returned. Yet the story Is
fascinating, and the search continues.
Every prospector has a new story. 1t
really is the lost mine, all he wants Is
grub stake. In most instances the
tramp ,prospector has taken the speci-
men, which he exhibits from a mine
in one of the camps. He has not been
near the place where these lost mines
are supposed to be.
When he has received his grub
stake he returns to the desert and
camps in a rocky cavern or under a
clump of stunted bushes, and there
remains until his provisions are near
ly exhausted, when he returns to civil
ization in search of another victim
and another grub stake-and with the
same story of lost mines.

HURST IS OUT
 FOR PRESIDENT
W. w. Hurst of Argenta Announces His Candidacy for President of the trkansaw State League for Next Seas0n-Lcague Meeting Dee. v.

W. w. Hurst, president of the Araenta baseball association and own- CT Of the Pine Bluff franchise in the Arkansas State League. today an- nounced his candidacy for president of the state league for next season, says the Little Rock Democrat.
 Mr Hurst has been one of the most active workers in the state league and it is through his efforts that the league kept up and was able 10 finish the season this year and the direc- 'ors throughout the circuit have asked him to be a candidate for president for next season and today he gave it out that he would accept the Presidency, provided the president, secretary and treasurer were made one or at least all in the same town. The league had considerable trouble the past season on account of President Craighead be- ing a candidate for office and not in a position to give the time necessary to the league, and then the treasurer was located in Helena away from the president and secretary.
 Mr. Hurst said this morning to a Democrat reporter: While ! have not sought the office of president of the league, Mr. Craishead, our president for the past s(ason, has had other business that took I'D his time, and as vice president of the league 1 have had the business to handle when the league was on thin ice, and at con- siderable personal expense the league was enabled to finish the season, and while a number of directors Of clubs of the league have asked that take the presidency for next year, f has been only a short time ago that I have made up my mind to be can didate and in regard to this l desire to state that il is my idea that the

Hailstorms and caternilIars.

An army of 100000 caterpillars has
appeared in the Krugersdorp district,
which recently suffered severely from
. hailstorm. Old colonists connect the
visitation with the recent fall of hail,
and they recall instances where
plaques Of insects have invariably fol.
lowed a phenomenal storm. 1t is sug-
gested that the stones carry some
germ which is launched into life when
the melting process begins, and farm
ers who have penetrated deeply into
the mysteries Of the yield trace the
periodical visitations of huge swarms
OF butterflies and moths and even of
the dreaded tick to the evolution of a
germ in the hailstone deposited on the
ground. Venerable Free Staters now
resident in the district have vivid
memories of frightful storms in the
late Sos and in the early '70s, says the
Rhodesia Herald, when similar cater
pillar plaques devastated the crops in
the conquered territory, and they also
recall the interesting fact that when
the black insects arrived the locusts
disappeared.

MUST SUIT THE FACE.
Time Well Spent Over Arrangement
of Proper Couture.

There are no hard-and-fast rules
governing hair dressing save the great
fundamental one which so few profes-
siona1 coiffeurs observe-namely that
the outline must be neither stiff nor
conventional. The hair must be ar
ranged to suit the face, which, If it
chance to be of the fashionable Greek
type, may be somewhat drawn back
from the brow, preserving the
straight line of the profile. That same
profile line governs the position of the
knot at the back of the head and
should be carefully studied with the
aid of the hand glass. But If the nose
be short and the face rather broad,
the couture must be arranged in diff
ferent manner on the top of the head,
although not necessarily in the extrav-
agant form of pomEadour which has
absolutely gone out of date The hair
may be pulled above the brow SO as
to meet the big coil at the crown,
and If there are vacant spaces, the
ribbon may be arranged to fill them.
The thin-cheeked woman whose pro-
file lacks the straight Greek line re-
Quires fluffy locks to soften her feat
ures, and the crown braid to give the
desired breadth. She would better
wear the ribbon to show at the sides
and the back.

Unjust Discrimination.

That suggestion which comes from
Cincinnati is too broad in scope, too
promising in its potentialities, to be
exhausted in the one case of Prince
Helie de Sagan. To apply the provi-
sions of the immigration laws to
merely one poor little gumdrop Euro
pean of title and not to all of them
would be inVidious discrimination.
There is no doubt that most of these
would-be parties to advantageous in
ternational matrimonial contracts
come well within both the spirit and
the letter of the laws prohibitions
They are worse off by the millions of
their debts than the status of having
no visible means of support. 1t
shouldn't be necessary to resort to the
expedient of deportation after they
have entered the country They
should be held up when they seek to
enter. No doubt many of them would
have been held up before this had they
crossed In the steeerage instead of the

Kansas is coming to the front in a
manner that speaks volumes for the
extent and variety of the public spirit
and enterprise Of the Sunfower state.
Kansas is great many hundreds of
miles inland and far from the custom
airy haunts of marine monstrosities
Yet it has produced the bones of sea
serpent, brought up from the bed of
Kansas river. There Is no sort Of
doubt about the matter, for the skele-
ton of the reptile has been mounted
and is on exhibition in the paleonto-
logical department of the University
OF Chicago, and If there is anything on
which that great institution of learn
ing il an authority it is sea serpents.
So Kansas may lay claim to a new
glory. It is a commonplace thing to
find a sea serpent at sea, but when
such animals are resurrected "far out
upon the prairie" and in prohibition
state at that, the achievement Is one
TO arouse special wonder.

COTTON SEED FOR cows.

South Carolina Experiment Stations
Recommendations.
Dairy farmers interested in the pos.
sibilities Of feeding cotton seed to dai.
~ cows will read with interest some
| of the conclusions reached by the
South Carolina experiment station. A
recent bulletin supplies the following
information:
i. Cotton seed meal when fed in
conjunction with good corn silage
may be fed to the extent of from five
to six pounds per cow daily without
| affecting the health of the animals.
2. A ration consisting of cotton
seed meal and good corn silage is
consumed by cows with great relish,
which is in no way lessened when the
feeding of such a ration is continued
for a period of five months.
3. No bad effects We're noticeable
from the practice of feeding cotton
seed meal and corn silage separately.
On the contrary such practice ap-
pears to have distinct advantages over
the common practice of mixing meal
with the roughage. Our results, there
fore, tend to disprove the prevailing
belief that heavy concentrates like cot
ton seed meal will act detrimentally
on the health of the COWS when fed I'm.
mixed with more bulky feed.
4. Cows fed exclusively on cotton
seed meal and corn sifage for period
of five months exhibited no craving for
dry roughage, but always preferred sill
age to dry hay.
5. According to the herd records
the cows yielded more milk and butter
fat during this experiment than during
any corresponding period in previous
years.
6. Cotton seed meal and rich, well
matured corn siiage constitute an ex-
cellent ration for cows yielding from
twenty to thirty pounds of milk per
day.
z. Cotton seed meal and corn silage
form by far the cheapest dry feeds
available to our dairymen. The cost
of such a ration is only slightly more
than half as much as that of the COM
mon dairy ration now fed in this State.
8. Our feed results In the exclu.
i've feeding of cotton seed meal and
corn silage as dairy ration are un.
doubtedly largely attributable to the
fact that the corn silage was made
from well matured corn rich in grain,
making it especially rich in carbohy-
drates. Unless silage is especially rich
in grain, a ration consisting entirely I
of corn silage and cotton seed meal
will lack in non-nitrogenous matter.
9. With cotton seed meal furnish
ing an unusually cheap protein sup
ply, and with the great yield of corn
possible in this State, we feel conf
dent that milk can be produced as
cheaply, If not more cheaply, in South
Carolina than In any other portion of
the world
