Place Every Winter

The herpes very frequently shows
itself only in the winter time and in
identically the same spot every year
When it comes out a little poslam
should be at once applied, and this
annoying skin affection will quickly
vanish. Poslam is the new skin rem
edy which has cured thousands OF the
worst cases OF eczema and eradlcated
facial and other disfgurements of
years standing The terrible itching
attending eczema is stopped with the
first application, giving proof of its
curative properties at the very out
set.
In less serious skin affections such
as pimples, rash, herpes. blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc, results show
after an overnight application only
small quantity being required TO
effect a cure. Those who use pos
lam for these minor skin troubles
should Immediately secure one of the

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune, a popular and in
dolent young bachelor of London, re-
Ceives news that he has been made heir
10 the estate of his Aunt Georgiana with
IN income Of 500, 900 a year, on condition
that he becomes engaged to be married

legacy will go to a third cousin in Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckoff
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
OF Terhune, are discussing plans to find
him wife within the prescribed time. It
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha, all close girlhood
Chums She decides to invite two of them
to the castle and have Archie there as
one Of the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha
First is a breezy American girl. Lady

from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him. but will require a
months time fully to make up her mind.

RAISE FINE OATES
Palms Thrive in Sun of Southern
California.
Demonstrated That Conditions ir
CoacheIIa Valley Are Favor
able to Development of
First-CIass Fruit.

Los Angeles, CaI-The date indus
try in California promises to become
a great factor in the fruit markets of
the world, for it has been proved that
the conditions in the Coachella val
ley are more favorable to the devel-
Dpment Of the date of first quality
than OF any other country where the
date is grown. It has also been dem
0nstrated that much larger per
centage of first quality dates can be
produced from the seed than in the
Saharan cases.
In planting the date seed plant in
rows thirty feet apart, placing the
seed about eighteen inches apart in
the row, thus planting about one
thousand seed to the acre. During
the first few years any kind of crop
can be cultivated between the rows.
When the palm Is three years old it
begins to blossom. At this time the
process of thinning begins, and the
male plants can be taken up and sent
to the city to be planted as orna-
mental trees. From this time until
after the fifth year the thinning and
rearranging in rows must be properly
attended to and, according to best au-
thority, growers may expect at least
one hundred plants Of the best quality

seeds planted to the acre, and as the

Dutch Explorer Tells of Wild Folk
in New Guinea.
Mysterious Mountain People Who,
With Their Pigs, Live In Little
Huts Raised Ten Feet From
Ground.

LOndon.-Mr. H. A. Lorentz, Dutch
explorer, the first white man to pene-
trate into the mysterious central snow
range of New Guinea, has returned to
Europe with a thrilling story of ad-
ventures.
The explorer discovered a mysteri-
Gus mountain tribe who, with their
pigs, lived in little huts raised ten
feet from the ground, into which both
the people and the animals climbed by
way of notched boards.
Doctor Lorentz says:
Suddenly we came across Sc
cluded valley which, to our amaze
ment, we found to be thickly popu-
lated. We were walking in single file
through the twilight shade of the
great forest when we heard mysteri-
Gus calls. Suddenly a small band of
savages, all armed with bows and ar
rows and stone axes, ran out from the
jungle. They approached US with
hands outstretched, offering US sweet
potatoes as a sign Of friendship.
con our arrival in their village the
people performed a curious ceremony,
by which they made us blood brothers.
They sacrificed a pig and smeared
each of us on the forehead with the
creatures blood. This proved a some
what awkward attention in the case
of our Mohammedan soldiers, but at
my earnest request they agreed to sub
NIT, provided that we allowed them

OILING LANE ON ATLANTIC
With Ocean Highway Thus Smoothed
Passengers May Gross Without
Fear of Seasickness.

New York-Plans are being consid
cred by the United States hydrograph-
ic Office to keep an ocean lane be-
tween New York and Europe smooth
by systematic oiling. With the At
lantic highway smoothed out in this
way, passengers may cross with per-
feet comfort, and seasickness will be
a thing of the past. 1t has been es-
tfmated that one quart of oil poured
upon the waves every hour by every
ship in the transatlantic service
would keep the pillows smooth In any
ordinary weather. The cheapest
grade Of petroleum will answer the
purpose, and 1t is estimated that an
expenditure Of s25 per trip will pay
the expense.
The ocean lane Is so crowded nova
days that it is believed that the oil
carried away by the ocean currents
will be restored frequently enough to
keep the ocean highway smooth The
oil spreads quickly, and a very thin
covering suffices to still the water.

CHAPTER TX.

It was the very last evening of the
time that had been allotted Terhune
in which to select a wife. The fol
lowing day was to see Solicitor Barnes
at luncheon with us at one o'clock
precisely, Dearest having invited him
in accordance with Mrs. James re-
quest that he should be the referee
present at the house when the last
minute of Terhune's ten days of grace
should expire, and his expected pres
ence at the meal brought it home to
us what a decisive one it must of
necessity be. Decisive was indeed the
right word to use in connection with
that meal! For if old Arch was still
free and unbalanced when he sat down
been nephew of his aunt as far as in
heriting that aunt's property was con-
cerned.
Dearest was inclined, being optimis-
tic enough to hope for a consumma-
ton of his engagement to Agatha
Sixth before that time-to make of the
luncheon a sort of marriage-feast in
honor of that event, and was already
planning famous ices and cakes of q
hymeneal nature. But Arch seemed
not to view the approach of the cru
cial day with such a light heart. His
thoughts at dinner that night were so
absent, in fact. as to force one to CON
clude that the spectre of his aunts
third cousin seated upon the veranda
of the house in Australia with DOS
sessive feet on the railing had be-
come his familiar spirit.
1t was this apparent anxiety of his
and his feverish devotion to Agatha
Sixth that utterly unprepared me for
the unfortunate denouement later.
The evening had ended at last and
Dearest and l had succeeded in start
ing a general move toward retiring
for the night. We had been playing
bridge-that is, the two Agathas had
with Terhune and the inevitable
Freer, while my wife and I stood by
and cut in now and then. We had OBJ
served with pleasure that the party
of four had divided itself exactly as
we would have arranged it ourselves:
Terhune and Agatha Sixth were part
ners, as were Agatha First and Freer.
Better still, Agatha Sixth seemed quite
to have forgotten the unhappy cpl
sode Of the waterfall, when Arch had
so obviously missed his cue, and was
openly basking in the return of her
admirers devotion. And Agatha First,
too. seemed quite contented, not a
whit disturbed by this attitude on my
friends part and mildly amused by
the attempted gallantries of the rec
tors son from Wye. 1t was, in fact, a
thoroughly happy little foursome, and
| as spectator Of its content l felt
particularly pleased when l thought
of what Arch had confided to me just
before dinner. That he intended to
obtain a definite, and what he seemed
to consider, a favorable answer, from
Agatha Sixth on the morrow.
We had all gone to bed. and the
night was well advanced, when was
awakened from the rippingest kind of
q sleep by the loudest kind of bang
you ever heard in your life 1t came
from the big drawing which we
did not often use, directly below my
| room, and woke me at once 1t sound

POKER SKILL PROVE SANITY
Witness In VIII Contest Case Says
Aged Testator Played Very Shrewd
Game of Cards.

Philadelphia.-The question wheth-
er a mans ability to play poker is
proof that he is mentally able to exc
cute will was put up to Register of
Wills David Martin the other day. The
proceedings were brought to prevent
the probate of the testament of
Thomas Morgan, who died at the age
of eighty years. The testator's daugh-
ter-in-Iaw, Nora Morgan, alleged that
when he made a will favoring his
niece, Rose Devine, he was of unsound
mind Magistrate James A. Briggs, an
old friend of Morgan, was called be
fore the register of wills.
WAS Mr.. Morgan, in your opinion,
of unsound mind?" was asked.
His mind always seemed pretty
clear to me. | had often seen him in
the Office of the water bureau at night
playing in game of poker. He played
the game for all it was worth, and
there was nothing about the way he
handled the cards to indicate that his
mind was in any way weak"
