Needless Harness.

From the Horse World
Horses are placing mankind daily un-
der everlasting obligations to them. says
Secretary Pershing of the South Bend
Qnd.) Humane Society, but how cruelty
and thoughtlessly are they repaid by
those who are most Indebted to them. a
horse is noble animal; patient, kind
hearted, self-sacrificing, willing to work
till he dies in his tracks, accomplishing.
a lover Of kind treatment. and who Is
willing to work a whole lifetime with no
other compensation than his bed and
board.
OF the many things which make the
daily life Of a horse miserable. two are
worst parts of a horses harness. Very
many people believe that they are part
and parcel Of a horse and that he would
not be a horse without them.
The majority of horses could readily
dispense with binders. and all could IL
they had never been invented. Binders
were first used by nobleman In England
to hide defect on his horses head. and
later were found excellent locations for
the displaying Of his coat-of-arms.
A horses head was never intended for
binders. for his eyes are so set In his
head that he can see behind him without
turning his head and, Of course, the
binders deprive him of seeing the very
things he should see for his own safety
as well as his drivers. A horses eye is
a beautiful object. and 1t is a shame to
cover IL.
Whenever see a man driving horse
without binders I always feel like stop
ping him and shaking hands with him
horses head Is the best part OF him ana
should have on 1t as little harness as pos
sible.
Another instrument of torture to
horse Is the tight check-rein. II IL re-

ONE OF FWORST
DISASTERS
IN YEARS
The Sinking Of a Mississippi River
Packet Last Night Proves to be
Fearful in Its Details and
Awful in Its Results.
NEARLY A SCORE OF LIVES LOST
[By Associated Press. ]

ST. Louis, May 1.-Two women
drowned and eleven other persons
missing are believed TO have lost their
lives in the Mississippi river last
night when the Packet City of Saltilo
struck rock and foundered within
reach OF shore at Glen Park, "a miles
south of st. Louis, last night.
Captain Harry Crane. in command
of the boat, announced this morning
after checking over the passenger
lists, that il was almost certain that
those reported missing were dead.
The boat carried q passengers,
most of whom were women and chill
dren, and crew of thirty men. She
left st. Louis at O'Clock with a
heavy cargo. including a number of
cattle and the voyage was considered
precarious because of the great
amount of drift wood floating in the
river. due to the annual spring rise
The two known dead were the wife
and daughter OF Isaac T. Rhea. presl-
dent OF the ST. Loui sand Tennessee
River Packet company, owners of the
boat Mrs. Rhea was dragged from
the water alive but died within an
hour. The body of Miss Ann Rhea,
the daughter, has not been recovered.
Glen Park, the scene of the acci-
dent is river landing, almost mac
cesslble to telegraph lines and news
OF the disaster came to St Louis in
roundabout way from Kimmswick
and Sulphur Springs. The vessel
struck hidden rock and sank almost
in reach of land at point where the
water was 30 feet deep.
The passengers and members of
the crew clung to timbers. while those
more fortunate lent their aid immed-
lately to the rescue of the helpless at
the rivers brink. The work of the
attempted rescue was most disheart-
ening. Sometimes an alert rescuer
perched on the shore and scanning
the dark water would spring into the
waves for a supposed struggler only
to find his goal was the floating end
of water logged tree.

LBy Assoeiated Press. ]

New York, May 12.-The biggest
ship in the American navy slid off
the ways today AT the New York
navy yard, when the hattleship Flor
ida dropped into the water.
Later on. when the Arkansas and
the Wyoming. now under construc
tion, are afloat. they will exceed the
Florida in size by 5000 tons, diff
ference sufficient to make pretty
good little liner in itself
The Florida, herself is by no means
finished, for. as she went of the ways
today she was only about so per cent
advanced towards completion, which
means that she was not much more
than a vast empty hull and still
awaits all of the thousand boilers
and main and secondary engines and
armor and equipment that go to make
up the ship ready for commission.
Probably there is not u battleshfp
afloat that could tackle the Florida
on even terms, when her command

but formidable skeleton masts which
will be placed upon her; that is, pro-
vided the naval designers do not
change their minds as to the utility

practically of the same type and may

few years ago as the top-notch for a
swift unarmored cruiser. She will
carry $500 tons of coal in her bunk

built in the New York navy yard, of
the enormous power of $4,000 horse
power, will maintain the high speed
of this big ship, and the steam will
be supplied by sectional boilers.

Florida had what is called super
posed or double-deck turrets, like the
kearsarge and the Kentucky; but, as
a matter of fact, there are only two
guns in each of the five turrets, and
the second turret in the fore part OF
the ship is necessarily elevated on a
superstructure. so as to be able to
fire freely over the top of the fore

midable secondary battery, composed
of sixteen 5-inch rapid-frers, four s.

two 21-inch submerged tubes for tor

airy to set out in the smallest detail

armor on the ship. 1t is believed.

be much wider than the ordinary ar

AN INToLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago. some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was q slight itching but
It grew steadily worse until. when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most Of the
time there was an intolerable itching.
In painful. burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, II deep, will Itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because Of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
In despair. really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake. I would
scratch the worst places 80 that my
finger.tips would be bloody. l could
not sleep well and. after being asleep
. short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said 1t must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely a.
q toilet soap before, I nov decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap. Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left on.

Of cuticura Soap and half . box Of
Cutfeura Ointment in all. The flrst

bottles-neither an expensive or to

had no scalp trouble Of any kind.
