Have you slept in a tent alone--a
tent
Out under the desert sky
Where a. thousand thousand desert
miles
All silent round you lie?--
The dust of the aeons of ages
dead,
And the peoples that trampled
by!
Made Morris in Lippincott's.
We have tried to slep in tont--a

Out under the starry sky
Where thousand thousand wing

Noisly round us fly.
But once was completely enough
for us
And we hiked to the flat in

Not lost, but gone before may be
truly said of Mary Susan Ledbetter.
Our dear friend several years ago re-
quested US when she dieu to write her
obituary. We do feel so incompetent.
She was woman of rare personal
charms ever loving and kind. Was
loved by her host of friends both old
and young. 'Tis hard to realize that
she is gone as she left US sixteen months
ago to visit her three daughters in
Waco, Texas, with the assurance that
she would return to her home in Missis-
sippi to spend the remainder of her
life.
But alas. we little thought that good
bye was said for the last time. We
have the assurance if we emulate her.

year old son, James, which sad event
occurred at their home last Saturday

by both local physicians and doctor
called from Memphis, he passed away

The loss is severe one to the par

had to give up her baby boy. The old

his little playmate.
The funeral services were conducted
on Sunday morning from the family
residence by Rev. w. w. Woolard who
made very appropriate remarks. The
little body was laid away in Glenwood
Cemetery beneath bank of flowers.

Living things they seemed to you.

Bounded with joy ard danced with
fun
Gay little caps that moved in the air,
And sometimes rested on waving

Stout little shoes that tramped

Tenderly wrapped, and silence bound.

Whose merry, restless life is done,
Though wrapped in silence, too, a

Shall lift again the same dear face,
With resurrection life aglow,
When the heavenly trumptets blow.
In hope earth's treasures lay away,
And wait the dawning of the day."

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work with hand or brain is never high priced
 The best example of this is found in Quaker Scotch Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourish- ment and yigor. without taxing the digestion, and yet it is the least ex- pensive food one can eat.
 This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from what they eat.
 Laborers, factory or farm hands. fed plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will work better and with less fatigue than If fed on almost any other kind of food. All of these facts were proved and very interesting information about human foods were gathered by Pro lessor Fisher of Yale University in 1908. You'll find Quaker Scotch Oats in regular size packages, and hermet- ieally sealed tins; the latter is best for hot climates. s

He did manage to get 1t twisted around so the prongs of the antlers stuck him n the side, and such capers he cut then l have never seen, besides delaying the out fit for nearly hour. The divide had to be crossed by daylight but reaching it dense fog settled over the whole country, which added to the snow, made it impossible to see than 10 feet in front of one. Thompson, as usual led the train, and after going on the narrow ridge that formed the divide, stopped to call and see if all were following, when there was a great scram- bling and crashing of branches and one of the horses disappeared over the precipice which was anywhere from 600 to thousand feet deep on either side and only about 30 feet on top. After counting found he was an unruly fellow that we had not been able to pack but was fol- lowing the others all right until he started to do little reconnoiterng his own account Un- doubtedly he was dead long before he reached the bottom of the precipce, felt our way along very cautiously and anxiousy until sud- denly the cloud we were in lifted when the go ing was moderately fair until we made camp for the night, all very thankful that we had not encountered more serious disaster
 Later, several short excursions were made from the ranchhouse, one of which I shot a good blacktail deer, and another time young bull elk, with only spikes. The blacktail was standing in the snow with three does sheltered behind clump of scrub pines, and he had ev- dently seen me first, for I was then attracted by the does running off. I took quick shot and the buck made tremendous leap of at least 30 feet but it was his last, my first softnosed bullet had mushroomed considerably on going through the shoulder and completely torn his lungs away
 The spike elk was much harder to kill, or our craftsmanship was poor, owing to having to run across valley and up the side of noun tain to head him of. At any rate it took four If o,,ide's 45-7nr and tbroo If nv 20-20 hrl- lets to bring him down. Every ball had hit him, but none in vital spot until the last

PINEAPPLE AS A CURATIVE.

It has long been known that the pineapple is of the healthies of fruits, but its real medici- nal qualities probably have never been realized In Hawaii experiments have been made to determine something of these properties It has been found that the fruit of the pineapple contains digestive principle closely resembling pepsin in it's action, and to this is probably due the beneficial results of the of the fruit in certain forms of dyspep sia. On the casein of milk pineapple juice acts digestive in almost the manner as rem net, and the action is also well illustrated by pac- ing thin piece of uncooked beef between two slices of fresh pineapple, where in the course of few hours it's character is completely changed
 In diphtheritic sore throat and croup pineapple juice has come to be very largely relied upon in countries where the fruit is common The false membranes which cause the closing of the throat to be dissolved by the fruit acids and relief is almost immediate.

THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex- pertinent of leaving of coffee and drinking Postum in it's place and in this way regaining health and happi- ness can learn much from the expert ence of others who have made the trial.
 One who knows says: T drank cof- fee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of indigestion producing days of discomfort and nights Of sleeplessness. I tried to give up the use of coffee entirely, but found it hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum.
 Tt was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned to love it and have used it for several years. ] improved immediately after I left of coffee and took on Postum and am now entirely cured of my indiges- tion and other troubles all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and contented and all because I changed from coffee to Postum.
 "Postum is much easier to make right every time than coffee, for it is so even and always reliable. We never use coffee now in our family. We use Postum, and are always we'll"
 There's reason" and it is proved by trial.

times quite hard to discover, as it may run from the top of one mountain to bronze plate in a rock some six or eight miles away.
 After resting a day in camp we started for the hunting ground with Thompson and had gone only a couple of miles when we came to some fresh elk tracks, which we followed eau tiously for some time until we could see far below us in a park Ia small clearing with long grass, on which elk are fond of feeding), a small band of elk, three bulls and six COWS. Getting within range noselessly was no easy matter ow- ing to the dry condition of the forests, but after an exciting crawl on hands and knees, we found ourselves within about hundred yards and un- seen by the elk. l picked my bull and took shot for the near shoulder, while my guide shot the next largest; both bulls dropped but mine was up an of again immediately, following in the of the herd best he could with broken shoulder and bullet in his lungs. He was going slowly and easy to follow and another shot some 500 yards further on, in very dense timber, ended his rowing career. The remainder of that day was spent in skinning and cutting up the meat and hanging it high above the ground, out of reach of proving animals at night. For dinner that evening we had elk's liver and steak and quite a celebration over our early success. Pack ing the meat, hides and heads back to camp sumed the next day and kept the three of busy.
 AS my companions from the east shot fine bull several days later on, took a rest from hunting and devoted some time to fishing Trout rose well, so all were satisfied and returning to camp one of these days had quick shot from my pony at a coyote that galloping across the brow of the hill It always seemed to me to have been more good luck than good craftsmanship, for these little things always hard to hit. but his skin lies the back of a chair before my fireplace.
 After hunting without any luck for perhaps a week, we finally came on some rather fresh sheep tracks and decided immediately to go after them. It quite the hardest climbing and hunting did without any success but followed them for three days and at times must have been within couple of hundred yards of them although we never had shot.
 Menacing clouds had been gathering for some days, with litle furries and Thompson said good deal about getting back to the ranch, which was two days trip, and as he said if we
