After treatment in the hospital, Cha
vez regained consciousness. He suf-
fered terribly from his hurts. The
generally accepted opinion Is that the
accident was due to slight shift in
the rudder while the monoplane was
going at high rate of speed.
Harry Weymann, the American
aviator who made two unsuccessful
attempts, today sent telegram of
sympathy to Chavez.
Much sympathy is expressed here for
Weymann who made a last and des-
perate effort to win the race after
hearing that Chavez had met with an
accident. He managed to climb over
the Resti shoulder, but finding that
the aeroplane was incapable of flying
higher. he returned to Brig and a1ight-
ed.
Three Frenchmen who were racing
in an automobile from Brig to the
scene of the accident were ditched in
a ravine. 1t is felt that they were fa-
tally injured.
Although Chavez did not succeed In
winning the prize of 100000, having
failed to reach Milan, some of the
members of the aviation committee are
in favor of turning over the purse to
him and erecting a monument in COM
memoration of mans first flight across
the Alps.
Chavez, although a Peruvian, was
born in Paris in 1887.
Chavez was able to receive visitors
at the hospital for few minutes to-
night. Although weak he was in a
most cheerful mood.
II am unable to explain the cause or
the fall" said Chavez. Il am delight
ed at being the first to cross the Alps.
DR.. Carlo Aneminet, the Turin sur
geon. has arrived here and tomorrow
will perform any operation that is
deemed necessary.
Numerous kilograms of congratCla-
tions and sympathy have been received
by Chavez from all parts of the world.

the habit of the holy woman Fatlma,
whom he has murdered; at his sug-
gestion your wife makes this perni-
cious demand. His design is to Kill
YOU, therefore take care Of yourself.
After these words the genie disap-
peared.
Aladdin resolved at once what to do.
He returned to the princess's apart
ment, and without mentioning word
of what had happened, sat down, and
complained of a great pain which had
suddenly seized his head. On hearing
this, the princess told him how she had
invited the holy Fatima to stay with
her, and that she was now in the pal
ace: and at the request of the prince,
ordered her to be summoned at once.
When the pretended Fatima came,
Aladdin said, Come hither good
mother, am glad to see you here at
so fortunate time. l am tormented
with a violent pain in my head, anu
request your assistance, and hope you
will not refuse me that cure which you
impart to afflicted persons" So say
ing, he arose, but held down his head.
The counterfeit Fatima advanced to-
ward him, with his hand all the time
on a dagger concealed in his girdle un-
der his gown; which Aladdin observ-
ing, he snatched the weapon from his
hand, pierced him to the heart with his
own dagger, and then pushed him
down on the floor.
MY dear prince, what have you
done?" cried the princess, in surprise.
You have killed the holy woman!
mo, my princess" answered Aladdin,
with emotion, Il have not killed Fa-
TINA, but a villain who would have as
sassinated me if l had not prevented
him. This wicked man." added he, un-
covering his face, lis the brother OF the
magician who attempted our ruin. He
has strangled the true Fatima, and
disguised himself i'm her clothes with
intent to murder me-" Aladdin then
infol med her how the genie had told
him these facts. and how narrowly she
and the palace had escaped destruction
through his treacherous suggestion
which had led to her request.
Thus was Aladdin delivered from
the persecution of the two brothers,
who were magicians. Within a few
years afterward, the sultan died in a
good old age, and as he left no male
children. the Princess Buddir al Bud
door succeeded him, and she and Alad-
din reigned together many years, ana
left a numerous and illustriOus pos
terity.

YOU by partaking of an entertainment

ding, and restore us and the palace to

The princess obeyed to the utmost
her husbands instructions. She as
sumed a look of pleasure IN the next
visit of the magician, and asked him to
an entertainment, an invitation which
he most willingly accepted. At the
close of the evening, during which the
princess had tried all she could to
please him, she asked him to exchange
cups with her, and giving the signal,
had the drugged cup brought to her,
which she gave to the magician. He
drank it out of compliment to the
princess to the very last drop, when he
fell backward lifeless on the sofa.
The princess, in anticipation of the
success of her scheme, had so placed
her women from the great hall to the
foot of the staircase. that the word was
no sooner given that the African ma
gician was fallen backward, than the
door was opened, and Aladdin admit

When Aladdin was out of the pal
ace. he looked around him on all sides,
and perceiving a peasant going into
the country, hasteued after him; and
when he had overtaken him. made a
proposal to him To exchange clothes,
which the man agreed to- When they
had made the exchange. the country
man went about his business. and
Aladdin entered the neighhuring city.
After travelling several streets. he came
to that part Of the town where the
merchants and artisans had their par
ticular streets according to their
trades. He went into that of the drug
gists: and entering one of the largest
and best furnished shops, asked the
druggist if he had a certain powder
which he named.
The druggist, Judging Aladdin 10y

brace him; but he stopped her, and
said, Princess, retire to your apart
ment; and let me be left alone while
endeavor to transport YOU back to
China as speedily as YOU were brought
from thence.
When the princess, her women. and
slaves were gone out of the hall, Alad-
din shut the door, and going directly
to the dead body of the magician
opened his vest, took out the lamp
which was carefully wrapped up; and
when he rubbed it, the genie immcdi-
ately appeared. Genie" said Alad-
din. II command thee To transport this
palace instantly to tn" place whence
it was brought hither." The genie
bowed his head in token of obedience,
and disappeared. Immediately the
palace was transported into China, and
its removal was only felt by two little
shocks. the one when it was lifted up,
the other when it was set down, and
both in a very short interval of time.

CROP GOOD FOR THREE YEARS
Alfalfa Does Not Do Well After That

Alfalfa does not do well after the

months. Then, too, the soil Is lack

IRRIGATED DRY FARM GARDEN
Limited Amount OF Ground Can BE
Profitably Watered by Means
of Wind Mills.

Tests made by the United States
government experiment stations have
shown that limited amount OF
ground can be profitably irrigated by
means of wind mills and reservoirs, or
by pumps worked by gasoline or other
engines. AS the dry farmer Is, as
rule. dependent upon wells for his wa
ter supply, he should, by all means
supplement his farming with garden
of from one to five acres, for which q
pumping plant of sufficient reservoir
capacity can be put in place for mod

ments have shown that there is a good
profit in gardening under these condi'
tons, and by application to the United
States irrigation investigations depart

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti'
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. j. Fish and Ella M

CUCUMBER THRESHlNG is NEW
Modern Farming Methods That Have
Come Into Western Country
With Irrigation,

IN western states, where most vine
crops grow to perfection on the irrl-
gated lands, hundreds of acres of GU
cumbers, cantaloupes and watermelons
are reserved for seed by seed com
panies and by farmers who grow them
Tor the seed houses II is a common
sight from October to December TO
see the seed threshers in the fields
OF cucumbers and melons threshing
them for their seed.
The growing of cucumbers for seed
Is considered very profitable, and oft
en- the owner clears from 800 to $3.50
an acre, as the seed brings 81 to ~
a pound While the cucumbers might
be sold to canning factories, many
farmers prefer to let them remain FOR
the seed, as the expense of gathering
is not so great, the income an acre
being about as much The threshing
costs a reasonable amount.
The cucumbers are grown in rows
six feet apart both ways, and the
seeds are planted the last of April
or the first of May After the plants
come through the ground they are
hoed and irrigated, the burrows for
the water running lengthwise with the
rows and close to the hills. cu'
