Mrs. Martyr added that a splendid
and inexpensive lotion can be made
by dissolving ounces OF spurmax in
" pint Of hot water. then adding 2
teaspoonfuls glycerine. She says this
lotion il better than any powder, az

Red BIoOded American Heroes

A wanderer In the summer of 1882,
passing through the forest near which
the city OF Upper Sandusky, o., now
stands, might have seen through the
trees the darling brown bodies Of a
band of indians.
Had the forest wayfarer crept noise
lessly forward, he would have seen
the cleaning body OF a naked white
man, tied to a tree.
The captive was Col Crawford, who
had led an expedition against the
Indians, lad been captured. and was
now to pay the penalty.
Col. Crawford knew there was but
one hope of again gaining liberty. In
the camp was one Indian, Wingenund,
whom he knew, and who had been
friendly In the past. Col. Crawford
sent for him.
He came out OF a nearby wigwam
and approached the captive. Crawford
waited for him to speak.
"Ha! Are you not Col. Crawford?
Il am. Do you not recollect the
friendship that has always existed be-
tween us?'
Eyes, we have drunk together and
you have been kind to me-"
Then 1 hope the same friendship
still continuesT
"Col. Crawford" answered the red
skin, you are beyond my help. The
white men came and pillaged and
murdered the tribe Of Moravians, who
had been taught Christianity by the
palefaces; and would not fight. The
chief calls you friend of the pale
II q m,
sorry. shall go away. / cannot bear
to see you die"
Wingenund went away, tears In his
eyes.
Crawford composed himself with
manly fortitude to await the worst
from the Indians. yet ne hoped against
hope that some Intervention would
save him from the terrible death.
The Indians came running into the
forest glade, uttering terrible whoops
An Indian brave came up TO Crawford

down his cheeks, fell In pools on the

Chiffon and messaline are the ma

Of the softest, thinnest silk. The
messaline bodice Is high-waisted, and
shows just a peep of the chiffon at the
upper curve Of the bodice, between
the frills.

upturned brim with velvet binding
and the crown is. covered with small
roses and satinchoux, matching the
color Of the dress.

Trees as Farmers, Aids

Neglect and reckless waste are gen
orally followed by periods. likely to be
brief, of activity at attempts to re-
store, and it is something of this
general rule that is being experienced
now in the art of sylviculmre. The
destruction of our forests has been
great and there is a widespread feel
ing that something ought TO be done TO
rectify the mistake, but even those
who recognize the need Of positive &C
ton seem inclined TO hang back For
this reason 1t is gratifying to note
that occasionally an individual is
availing himself of the opportunity to
indulge in the afforestation Of a por-
ton of his lands.
The demand OF the state officials for
seedlings this year is greater than it
ever has been which is an indication
that an increasing number of land
owners will put their belief into prac-
tice. On one estate in East Enosburg
$4,000 trees will have been planted
this season, which spells progress in
forestry in Franklin county.
II should not be thought that the
propagation and planting OF trees is
of value only to those who take part
in the timber trade. Throughout Yer
mont there are many farms that need
trees, not for the returns obtainable
when marketed, but for the sake Of
