The Palisades.

To see New York city from the PAIL
sades is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder of the Palisades them
selves. One Of the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur is that they lie SO
close to the most artificial, man sub
'5ugated area that civilization has
evolved, writes Philip verrill Mighels
In Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
Is like stepping to the edge of the
world, where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as If 1t were only
part Of space, its countless lights
looking like millions Of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu-
sion Is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base Of the
ellis and lifts up the full throated
roar Of the substantial city.

Straight From tho Animal.

Straight From the Animal.
A London gentleman, having taken
a small farm in the country as being
the correct thing to do, as we'll as to
get little fresh air, had invited some
Of his friends down to see his new
possession.
Having viewed the domain and not
ing the absence of creature life about
the place, one Of his friends remarked:
"With nice, open place like this, I
wonder you don't have some animals
about as is usual on a farm. Some
cows, for instance, so as to have your
own butter and cream"
"No-o, drawled his host, don't care
about butter or cream"
"some chickens or ducks, then. You
surely like fresh eggs?"
moo, don't care for eggs. But I've
sometimes thought I'd like a sheep. I
rather like kidneys for breakfast."-

The Queerest Salad.

A gourmet as he mixed a salad OF
chicory said: "The worlds queerest
salad, and possibly its most delicious
one, is eaten by the Inoits of northwest
Greenland. It is salad Of undigested
moss from the stomach of fresh
killed reindeer, a bitter, sharp, stim-
ulating salad, as good for the diges-
ton as an electrical massage. The
1noits live almost exclusively on fish;
hence salads are favorite dish with
them. But no salad in their minds
compares with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. They
say this salad is crlsper, tenderer and
more appetizing than any other, and
they say it wards of indigestion. They
fight for 1t, they spend their last penny
on 1t, quite as the Indians do with
6rewater." -Exchange.

HUNDREDS SEEK SAFETY

Washed by a Torrent for Almost
Forty-eight Hours.
Denver, Aug. 20.-Trains blocked in
lonely mountain passes, tracks washed
away or in some instances pitched
into canyons hundreds of feet below,
people driven from their homes to
seek safety with their belongings in
higher places-these were the scenes
revealed at daybreak along the over
flowed Arkansas river.
Alarmed by another cloudburst at
Four Mile creek, near Canon City,
scores of people in the lower sections
of Pueblo and other points passed the
night in removing their household ef-
fects from the danger line.
The famous Royal gorge, walled in
by rocks 1000 feet high, has been
washed by a torrent for almost forty
eight hours and the railroad tracks
have been washed out. Trains on the
Colorado Midland, the Denver and Rio
Grande and other railroad tracks, most
of them carrying Eastern tourists,
have been detoured over circuitous
routes.
Not only the Arkansas river, but
almost all Of its tributaries, are over
flowed. The rainfall in the last two
days has been unusual.

OPERA COMPANY is COMING
HERE ON DECEMBER
Playing Under Auspices Americas
Lodge of EIks.


Lodge of EIks.
An attraction of unusual interest at
the opera house, dated for December
18th, is the appearance of the Manhat-
tan Opera Co., of thirty-fve soulful
songstresses, presenting the popular
light operas of the day This will be
one of the best attractions here this
season, and fine audience will see it.
By special arrangement the produc-
tion will be under auspices of the
Americas Lodge of Elks, which will
share in the proceeds, thus greatly
populari2ing the occasion here.
Tickets are being sold by subscrip-
ton, and many of the books have been
subscribed for already.
Under this arrangement a book of
four tickets can be procured for 81,
whereas the single admission tickets
are $1.50 each-the regular price.
Parties can thus club together and
save considerable sum by buying
these books, which will be delivered
next Tuesday by the special agent,
when the book sale closes.
The subscription lists are to be
found at Dodson's Pharmacy and Haw-
kins Cafe, and are already receiving
many signatures.

that if the map house in question
makes canvass of the county it can
speedily dispose of enough in advance
to guarantee all expenses to which
it will be put and assure itself OF a
good profit. If not, it would not be
out of place for the county itself to
subscribe for a number of them, or
even make an appropriation to assist,
in order to ensure the publication OF
the map. 1t would be cheaper to do
this than for the county to undertake
the survey and publication of the
map itself One thing is certain, the

TWO CHARGES OF BIRDSHOT
ARE FIRED INTO TRAIN
Lives Endangered by Such Spirit OF
DeViltry.

Passengers reaching Americas early
yesterday morning on Seaboard train
73 from Savannah reported an act of
lawlessness and extreme deviltry COM
mitted at a remote point down the
line. Someone fired two loads of bird
shot into the rear coach while the
train was speeding towards Americas,
but there were only few passengers
in the car and none of these were
struck by the deadly missiles. Dr.
Bascom Anthony and Mrs. Anthony
returning to Americas from Savannah,
were in the coach thus fired upon.

both Central and Seaboard trains
coming this way at night, the rock
throwers escaping in the darkness.

DON'T BE BALD.

Almost Any One May Secure Spleen
did Growth of Hair.
You can easily find out for yourself
if your hair needs nourishment, if it
is thinning, getting dry, harsh and
brittle, or splitting at the ends You
simply have to pull a hair from the
top of your head and closely examine
its root. If the bulb is plump and
rosy it is all right; if it is white and
shrunken your hair is diseased and
needs nourishment.
We have a remedy for hair troubles
that cannot be surpassed. It has a
record of growing hair and curing
badness in SO or 100 cases where
used according to directions for a
reasonable length of time. 1t will
even grow hair on bald heads if the
scalp is not glazed and sidney. That
may seem like a strong statement
it is, and we mean it to be, and no
one should doubt it until they have
put our claims to an actual test.
We are so sure that Rexall "93'
Hair Tonic will completely eradicate
dandruff, prevent badness, stimulate
the scalp and hair roots, stop falling
hair and grow new hair, that we per-
sonally give our positive guarantee to
refund every penny paid us for Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic in every instance
where it does not do as we claim or
fails to give entire satisfaction to the
user
ReXall "93" Hair Tonic is as pleas
ant to use as clear spring water. 1t is
perfumed with a pleasant odor, and
does not grease or gum the hair. We
have it in two sizes, prices 50 cents
and $1.0O. We urge you to try Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic on our recon-
mendation and with our guarantee
back of it. You certainly take no risk.
Remember, you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Americas only at the
Dodson Pharmacy.
