to drink, for it takes into its parched stomach
all it can. Having laden itself with TINS
weight of water, the deer is unable to take
long leaps, and cannot extend its run Pc
tween halts more than half the former dis
tance.
The Indians tongue may be as dry as
dust, and his stomach burning up with neat,
but he never stops to drink. he scoops a
handful of water from the stream as he dash dash
es across it. and carries it to his mouth
where he holds it moment and elects 1t
without taking swallow.
If he is obliged to swim he let's the water
run into his mouth, but keeps it from his
stomach. After running an hour or SO, after
knows it is time to find some evidences OF the
animals weakening.
These he is sure to find along the trail, in
the shape of blood spots on some rock where
the deer has stumbled on its knees, or
patch of hair clinging to some sharp prolec-
ton, showing that the deers strength has
failed so that it cannot turn quickly out OF
the way of obstacles
Now the Indian increases his speed. He
knows that the deer's race is run. In time
he overtakes the deer, which is now Looping
feebly along. A yell startles it into mo-
meDtary burst of speed Then, as II appre-
ciating the fact that it were useless to pro
long the race, it stops and turns, with all the
defiance its exhausted nature can assume,
and awaits the approach of the hunter.
Sometimes, however, the deer runs until it
drops dead or dying in its tracks. If it
turns upon the Indian, the latter keeps right
on on at at full speed. He knows the deer can do
him no harm, its inclination to the contrary
notwithstanding. He seizes it boldly, throws
It to the ground with ease, and dispatches it
with his hunting-knife.
Without moments delay, whether the
deer is dead or dying, the Indian cuts from
behind the fore shoulder large piece of
meat and deyours the morsel, keeping con-
stantly on the move. If the carcass of the
deer is not too heavy, he throws it across his
Shoulders and starts Immediately for home.
He does not rest moment, for fear of be-

Dare to do the best that's in you,
Boys-be not afraid;
Do it, though the world oppose you
Thus are heroes made.
TO the summit of the. conflict
Let your courage grow;
Those that never stem the current,
Never learn to row.
Dare to speak the truth, my boys,
Speak it without fear;
Speak it bravely, nobly, boldly,
Though the world should jeer;
All things else with time may vanish,
Truth must still remain;
Crushed to earth, the sages tell us,
1t will rise again.
'Ever onward, ever upward"
Let your watchword be;
In the vanguard plant your colors,
Where the world may see,
Bold inscribed upon your bannerS
Justice, truth and right,
Pressing forward, onward, upward,
To the highest height.

Birds are sent to cheer us with their songs
and to rid the air, the land, and the trees
of insects that would otherwise do much
harm. 1t is our duty, therefore, to eneour
age the birds, and especially at this time,
when the old birds are so busy rearing their
chicks.
Those of you who have watched old birds
feed the young must have noticed how very
seriously the parents go to work. Have you
ever tried to count the number of times the
old birds visit the nest in the course Of an
hour, to say nothing of whole day? l
venture to say if you try you will soon tire
of counting. In the bird world there are no
regular meal times.
Birds eat when they are hungry, if food
is to be had, and it is only when frost seals
up the supply that they go short. 1t is, safe
to say that, ordinarily, birds, spend three,
fourths of their time in finding food and

the deer is too heavy for him to carry, he cuts
out the choicest parts, hides the remainder in
a secure place, and brings in the former. In
this case another member of the tribe is
selected to take his track back on the arri-
val of the hunter ip camp, and bring in the
venison left behind.
If deer is young, an Apache hunter win

but they have been known to prolong
chase for one hundred miles. The course
taken is always devious and circuitous, and
may end within mile or so of the starting

AN ADVENTURE

E-IARTIN BANES is a track-walker on
M the New Orleans and Northeastern
~. Railroad, and he recently had an ex-
citing race with special train which
he is not likely to forget. Martin has a track
tricycle., and his employment is to guard the
long treste over Lake Pontchartrain, and to
follow all trains, so as to extinguish what
ever Goals may have dropped from the engine
in its transit across the trestle.
One evening about o'clock he started out,
and when about two miles out on the trestle
be heard the ominous rumbling of wheels No
train was scheduled for that hour, and hence
no danger was apprehended. But a train was
certainly coming, and it suddenly flashed upon
his mind that it was special.
A desperate contest then followed between
muscle and steam. The peril of the track
walker urged him to superhuman efforts in
plying the tricycle. so as to reach point of
safety. The race was a very. short one, how
ever. The engine gained and presently there
was bump and the track-walker found him
self clinging to the cow-catcher. Fortunately
the engineer had noticed the obstacle in the
gloom and had slackened speed, SC, the track
walker escaped with some severe bruises, al
though the tricycle. was completely wrecked.
n was terrible scare. however. and now
the track-walker never ventures out. even in
daylight, without lantern.

MAKE 1T YOURSELF.
Says Many Persons Here Can Be
Made Happy Again BY Using
This HOme-Made Mixture.

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the
following advice by an eminent au-
thority, who writes for readers of a
large eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who suf-
fer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound, Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready re-
lief in this simple homemade mix
ture, and in most cases a permanent
cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the pOisOns, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous 9TH
er diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys are
not healthy and active, or who suf-
fers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after
awhile
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

DIsGRACEFUL LEASE SYSTEM.
An Ex-Convict Obtains a Verdict for
$4,000 Damages.

Recently an ex-convict obtained a
verdict for $4,000 damages in Walk
er superior court against the Dur
ham Coal & Coke Co, convict lessees,
for alleged inhuman treatment and
false Imprisonment.
During the trial of the case a
number of ugly facts, in regard to
the management of the convict
camps were brought out, and these
will probably be made the basis of
a thorough investigation when the
legislature meets in June. A few
weeks ago the penitentiary commit
tee of the legislature made tour of
the state and investigated every con-
Wet camp Immediately after this
work was completed prominent
official of the prison commission
rendered his resignation. This fact,
coupled with the evidence produced
at the Walker county trial, leads to
the belief that a big sensation, that
may amount to a state scandal, will
be sprung at the meeting of the gem
eral assembly in June.

A STRANGE NEVADA MOUNTAIN
800 Feet High, and Consists En-
tireIY of BOraX.

There is a strange mountain in
the Death Valley region of Nevada.
1t is known as Mount Blanc, and con-
sists entirely of borax Mount Blanc
is approximately 1900 feet high and
two miles in diameter. Frank NJ.
Smith of Oakland owns the mountain
absolutely, and thereby is said to
control the visible supply of borax
in the world The market value of
the borax where it lies is something
more than 500 a ton. Experts es-
innate that the mountain has at least
100000 tons of borax in it. This
mountain, standing at the north end
of the Funeral Range, within a
stones throw of Death Valley, says
a western writer, makes Smith cas-
lily the richest man in the world, from
point Of resources. But this borax
deposit is merely a Iinging for the
pot of gold that rests in the Fun

LETTER TO f. NJ. McNULTY,
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: A new word has come
into use in paint; it is strong. Strong
paint is paint as strong as paint can
be. Weak paint is paint not so
strong.
If one paint takes 10 gallons to
do a job and another Is, the 10
gallon paint is the stronger.
If one paint wears 10 years, and
another 5, the 10-year paint is the
stronger
The strongest paint is the one that
takes least gallons and wears longest.
But do such differences exist? Yes
and greater. Deyoe is the strongest
of all. A job that takes 10 gallons
Devoe takes more than 20 of some.
And a job of Deyoe wears several
times as long as job of some paints.
o. E. Perry, East Sth st, Erie, Pa,
painted two houses same size; same
time; with two paints same price;
took gallons DevOe to of the
other; and in three years Devoe was
the better looking job.
There are strong and weak paints;
we all want the strongest; paint
can't be too strong. Yours truly
