SKIN HUMOR 25 YEARS

"Cuticura did wonders for me. For twenty-five years I suffered agony from a terrible humor, completely cov- ering my head, neck and shoulders, so even to my wife, 1 became an object of dread. At large expense I consult ed the most able doctors far and near
 Their treatment was of no avail, nor was that of the - Hospital, during six months efforts. I suffered on and concluded there was no help for me this side of the grave. Then I heard of some one who had been cured by Cuticura Remedies and thought that a trial could do no harm. In a surprisingly short time was com pletely cured. s. P. Reyes, 147 Con- gress St., Boston, Mass, Oct 12, '09."

ors of wool without any dye whatever and the beautiful outline blankets, in which the Navajo mas reached the highest perfection of the art. Ihese blankets were judged by Frank Staplin, Navajo blanket expert of Farmington N M J. l.. Parsons Of Durango and Miss Emma Loomis of the agency, and the first prize was awarded to beautiful black white and grey blanket of artistic design and remarkably even and close weave, shown in the center picture.
 The Navajo silver jewery is and-hammered rom Mexican dollars, which the traders procure for the Navajos, and many of the pieces are very beautiful in design and odd and exquisite as an ornament. The jewelry consists of rings, brace lets neck chalns, charms and many other articles.
 It should be remembered that none of the prod ucts raised at Shiprock under the supervision of the superintendent and employees were permitted to participate for prizes, but every prize went to reservation Navajos for products purely their own. The vegetables and other agricultural prod ucts of the agency are, however, worthy of spe- cial mention as they formed a fine exhibit in themselves and included, besides the ordinary products of the section, many of the vege- tables brought from foreign lands by representa- tives of the department of agriculture.
 Some of the Indian exhibits were brought no less than 70 miles in wagons and horseback, by the interested owners, and one lot of 50 gen. eral exhibits, which deserves special mention came from SaNoos-Tee, the vicinity of F. L. Noes trading post This lot contained the prize-win- ming assortment of silver work and other prize winners.
 The success of the first Navajo fair, which the unappreciatve neighhoring public had SUD- posed would consist of a few pony races and chicken fights, but which turned out to be an exhibit of agricultural products which probably equaled any other ever made in the county, for quality and contained at least five times the quantity, is due entirely to the work of Major w T. Shelton, the superintendent at Shiprock. It is true the Navajos producing most of these articles long before they ever saw or heard of Shelton, but they were not producing as much as well, nor as fine quality they have been since coming into contact with the influence of the institution which he has founded. Neither could they have been induced to have brought together their most valuable and cherished per- sonal effects for public inspection but for the con- fdence which this agency has awakened within them.
 We have therefore the first beneficial effects of education and proper example upon this neglected people. The changes which have been wrought upon those coming in contact with this institution have been rapid and sweeping that it challenges credulity- The difference between them and the Navajos other parts of the reservation is marked that they would not be taken for the same people. and it is these differ. enees that commend the policies and practices initiated by MT Shelton at this institution and places it in favorable contrast with other govern ment and private Indian schools.

CHAINED TO WHEELBARROW

In writing of the Schlusseburg prison in Me Clure's. David Soskce tells of prisoner who was chained to a wheelbarrow:
 "Schedrin had been condemned to hard labor in to escape from there had been sentenced to be chained to heavy wheelbarrow. When the order came for his transfer from Siberia to St. Peters burg conveyance could be found large enough to contain him, the wheelbarrow and the convoy of gendarmes Yet. the wheelbarrow had be- come part of the prisoner. the gendarmes were afraid to leave it behind. It therefore de- cded to place Schedrin with his convoy in one cart and the wheelbarrow behind in another. For sev- eral months, day and night Schedrin and the gen. darmes galloped through Siberia troka Ca hreehorsed cart sledge). while another sped behind them upon which the wheelbarrow reposed causing the deepest amazement among the peas ants in the villages through which they passed. Upon the arrival of the prisoner in SS. Peter and Paul he was once again chained to the barrow. and only after he had been six weeks in the Schluesselburg was he finally detached from it and given freedom of movement within the narrow confines of his cell.
 When they unclaimed me-. said Schedrin sub sequently, I could not get enough movement. I wanted to run and run, and it seemed to me that could never stop. How strange it is that men who enjoy perfect freedom of movement never realize the wonderful happiness that is theirsp "
