A Cure for Snake Bite.

Mrs. August Myer, of Indian creek,
about 7 miles southwest of Ardmore,
was in the city few days this week,
getting some dental work done. Mr..
and Mrs. Myer are old settlers and have
a ranch of over 1900 acres with fine
stock of horses and cattle. Speaking of
rsttlesnakes which are plentiful in the
vicinity of the ranch, Mrs. Myers said :
"Years ago when was little girl
my father learned of remedy for the
bite of rattlesnakes and l have saved a
number of valuable horses and cows by
this means. The animals are usually
bitten in the face or head. have the
animal securely tied and then I fasten
q gunnysack around the wounded part,
leaving holes for the eyes and nose.
Then l fill the sack with dry dirt and
later pour on water to make thick
mud. When this bakes dry as it soon
does, put on fresh dirt and water. The
mud draws out the poison and have
never yet failed to save the life of ar
animal If could reach it in time."A

PAINT YOUR MAIL BOX.

The following advice is being hand
ed out by the department at Washing
ton in regard to the proper method
for erecting and caring for rural mail
boxes:
"SIR 1T is the desire of the depart
ment that you earnestly request patrons
of rural delivery out of your Office to
paint their boxes and the posts to which
they are attached, pure white color.
This course, if pursued, will not only re-
suit in benefit to the patron in serving
to protect his box and post from dam
age by the weather, but will give all the
boxes a uniform color and serve to fix
their indentity in all parts of the coun-
try as United States mail boxes, and
will give them much neater and sight
lier appearance than they now possess.
1t is also desired that patrons be induc-
ed to imprint their names and box num-
bers on boxes in black letters about two
inches high.
1t is also desired that you endeavor to
induce road officials to paint the posts of
boxes which are located at cross roads,
(but not attach signs thereto), the names
of the towns or villages to which the
cross roads lead, with an indicator show
ing the direction.
Posts to which boxes should be at
tached shall be set in an easily accessi-
BILE position at the side of the road and
boxes securely fastened to a projecting
arm of wood, or to a bracket of band
iron about three sixteenths of an inch
thick, or, If preferred, an automatic ex-
tension arm may be used.
Respectfully,
N " n

"Assess property, not men," This
should be the motto of every assessor.
Assessments should be made with abso-
lutte disregard of ownership and without
regard to whether it is county or city
property. If the market value is the
rule in the country, and it must be under
the law, then the market value should
rule in the city. If every man is equal
with every other man then there can be
no possible cause for complaint.

Memories From q Summer Ramble.

All in the golden glory
OF one bright summer day,
Pearl and went strolling
Through fields of new mown hay.
The palest of blue hair bells
We're nodding In the breeze;
Sweet came the music Of the birds,
From high up among the trees.
We gathered the waxen lilies
And roses, pink and red,
While the golden, summer sunshine,
Was dancing overhead.
We climbed the rugged Limestone,
And gained finer view
OF the surrounding country
Ger hills of misty blue.
We looked over in Wyoming,
As far as the eye can see.
There was naught to disturb the silence,
But the hum Of the busy Bee.
Beneath giant pine tree
We rested on the ground
And mused on the wondrous works Of God
In silence-deep and profound.
What grandeur lay around us,
Those rocks so strong and high;
Their sides all scanned and crumbling,
Uprearing toward the sky.
They have stood for ages
And will stand for years to come;
Long after us poor mortals
Have gone on our journey Home.
The sun was sinking lower,
SO we wended our homeward way
Ger fallen tree and bramble,
Wen satisfied with the day.
Fleecy clouds were slowly drifting by,
White as the ocean foam;
As hand in hand together,
We reached our cabin Home.
No matter where we wander
Through valley or over mountain crest,
We find when tired and weary
That Home, Sweet Home, is best!
MRS. FRANK TUBBs.

DR.. Rate Rides up Sylvan Lake Ril
Backward in an Auto.
While on recent trip to Custer with
the Board of Charities and Correction,
of which he is. a member, DR.. H. F. Rate
had some novel experiences in automo-
billing with Fred Nash. He was driven
from Wind Cave to, Hot Springs, a dis
tance of fourteen miles in twenty-one
minutes. Not content with this feat
Nash drove his machine up the steep
hill from Custer to Sylvan Lake, then
turning around the descent was
made at almost lightning rapidity.
For an experiment the machine was
then started backward up the steepest
ascent to the Lake and this feat was also
accomplished. This is said to be the
first time in the history of automobiling
in the Black Hills that similar attempt
has been made. The hill leading to Syl!
van lake is said to be one of the steepest
inclines on travelled roads in the Hills
and heretofore has tested the capacity OF
many automobiles to negotiate it while
being driven forward. To accomplish il
backwards is regarded as little else than
wonderful.
While in Custer, DR.. Rate delivered
a political speech to a large audience
and piloted Ex-Governor Elrod and his
speaking mate from Custer to Hill City

Bees like to work better probably
than any other living thing. There Is
room for few hives Of bees on every

splendid combination.

on the front Of each stand, wholly FOR
his own benefit which should read:
