An Impromptu Medicine Man

An lmpfOmptu Meofc1ne MAN
A T first took their coming as visit OF state but
made to realize that their real purpose
to seek medical attendance.
Whoever had preceded us there l do not know,
but it must have been some aTnlable white man who
fed them sugar or chocolate medicine For, al
though about as sturdy and sound looking lot,
from old to young could be picked from any peo-
pie, all sufferers of something and in desper-
ate bad way of it, according to their story: all
have doUdh (medIcne), and get it quick, to be
sure of living the day out.
With medicine chest that held nothing but per
anganate of potash, bandages, qulnlne calomel and
salts and little indeed of these, was up stump;
but since something must be done, launched boldly
out upon the Ito me) uncharted OF diagnosis, all
the time racking my brains for schemes to husband
precious little store OF medicines.
The first prescription | ventured on, dose of
salts, gave hint; the patient made shocking
wry face it. SO to the next two gave qulnlne
and made them bite and chew the pills, and to the
third wrinkled old boy with Slight bark Oft the
skin, applied an extra strong solution OF perman-
ganate that made him howl and at the same time
served to relieve of further demands for dowah.
After another forenoon out, January %,
Masai reported again that all elephant had trckked
toward the Maggori; in the afternoon we marched
about ten miles southeast, camping on little stream
the Masai called Looseandgiddy," as nearly we
could understand them, two miles from its junction
with the Maggori.

coats, snufboxes, spears etc; but not thing did

ture. Neither among the kavrondo at Toroni's
able to get price set a single
curio, much less to buy tight to their weapons,
war panoply and personal trinkets both lots stuck.
When we arrived at the munyata, found prac-
tically all the and youths out tending their
focks and herds, while the women of the village
divided about equally into three busy groups.

Notice 10 Patrons.

I wish 10 say 10 the patrons of the
Farmyille Public school that the
teachers of the county, together with
the Division Superintendent have re-
Gently outlined what we think TO be
an adequate course of study for the
schools of the county. Heretofore, the
line between the work of the grades
has not been so clearl, and distinctly
drawn, but hereafter no pupil will be
promoted to a higher grade Il til he
has satisfactorily aud creditably done
the work of the lower grade.
Now it is incumbent upon you par
ents to send your children the very
first day school opens and keep them
in school every day it is possible to do
so. You need not expect them to be
promoted if you keep them from school
the first month or two and then a
day or two Of each week afterwards.
When a child is absent a great deal
YOU soon notice that he does his worB
in a half-hearted way, which gradual
IN becomes worse until he loses all in
terest and wants to stop school When
he reaches this stage he might As vel
stop.
We would have you remember thai
we are here to contribute what we car
towards the making Of useful men anC
women Of your boys and girls, and We
earnestly ask your cooperation in thi
important work. You can at leas
visit the school and we would be gla'
to have you as well As all the people o
FarmVille do so.
