cHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

ST think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on it's head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
mo good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. It was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
We remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1T has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau

cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents

CHAPTER VII.
In the Sand Desert.

Suddenly Keith halted, bringing his
pony's head sharply about, SO that the
two faced one another. The wind was
rising, hurting clouds of sand into
their eyes, and the plainsman held one
hand before his face.
There's nc need Of keeping up a
water trail any longer he said quiet
ly. "By all the signs we're in for a
sand storm by daylight, and that will
cover our tracks so the devil himself
couldn't follow them. Got water bag

''Dr. Bailey, apropos of certain reck-

rolled YEARLY from the saddle, bur-
rOwed under the partial shelter of a
sand dune, and called upon Neb to
follow him. With their hands and feet
they made slight wind-break, drag
ging the struggling ponies into it's
protection, and burrowed themselves
there, the clouds Of sand skurrying
over them SO thick as to obscure the
sky, and rapidly burying them alto
gether as though in a grave Within
an hour they were compelled to dig
themselves out, yet it proved partial
escape from the pitiless flashing. The
wind howled like Embossed demons
and the air grew cold, adding to the
sting of the grit, when some sudden
eddy hurled it into their hiding place.
To endeavor further travel would
mean certain death, for no one coulo
have guided course for a hundred
feet through the tempest.
1t was three o'clock before it died
sufficiently down for them to venture
out. Even then the air remained full
of sand, while constantly shifting
ridges made travel difficult. Only
grim necessity-the suffering of the
ponies for water, and their own need
for soon reaching the habitation of
man and acquiring food--droye them
to the early venture. They must at
tain the valley of the Salt Fork that
night, or else perish in the desert
there remained no other choice. Ty-
ing neckerchiefs over their horses
eyes, and lying fla themselves, they
succeeded in pressing slowly forward,
winding in and out among the shift
ing dunes. with only the wind to guide
them. It was an awful trail, the hoofs
sinking deep in drifting sand, the
struggling ponies becoming so ex-

The men could see nothing but this
solid sheet of water rushing down
toward them from out the black void,
and then vanishing below. Once
Keith's horse half fell, plunging nose
under, yet gaining foothOld again be-
fore the rider had deserted his saddle.
A dim darkness ahead already re-
vealed the nearness of the southern
bank, when Neb's pony went down
suddenly, swept fairly off it's legs by
some fierce eddy in the stream. Keith
heard the negro's cultural cry, and
caught a glimpse Of him as the two
were sent whirling down. The coiled
rope of the lariat, grasped in his right
hand, was hurled forth like a shot,
but came back empty. Not another
sound reached him; his own horse
went steadily on, feeling his way. I'M
til he was nose against tho bank, with
water merely ripping about his ankles.
Keith driving feet again into the stir
rups headed him down stream, wading
close in toward the shore, leaning for
ward over the pommel striving to see
through the gloom.
He had no doubt about Neb's pony
making land, unless struck by some
driftwood, or borne to the center Of
the stream by the shifting force of the
current But if Neb had failed to re-
tain his grip he might have been
sucked under by the surge of waters.
A hundred yards below he found them,
dripping and weak from the struggle,
yet otherwise unhurt. There were no

"a hundred and fifty miles as the
crow flies, and sand all the way, ex-
cept for the valley of Salt Fork. Come
on now, and keep close, for it's easy
to get lost in these sand hills"
Keith mad ridden that hundred and
fifty miles of sandy desolation before,
but had never been called upon to
make such a journey as this proved TO
be. He knew there was little to fear
from human enemies. for they were
riding far enough east of the Santa Fe
trail to be out of the path of raid1ng
parties, while this desert country was
Stunned by Indian hunters. 1t con-
sisted of sand hill after sand hill, a
drear waterless waste, where nothing
grew, and mid the dread sameness OF
which a traveller could only find pass
age by the guidance of stars at night
or the blazing sun by day.
They had covered ten miles of it by
daybreak, their ponies travelling heavi-
ly, fetlock deep, but could advance no
further. With the first tint Of rose IN
the east the brooding storm burst
upon them in wild desert fury, the
fierce wind buffeting them back, lash
ing their faces with sharp grit until
they were unable to bear the pain.
The flying sand smote them in clouds,
driven with the speed of bullets. In
vain they lay fiat, urging their ponies
forward; the beasts, maddened and
blinded by the merciless flashing Of the
sand, refused to face the storm. Keith,
all sense of direction long since lost,

SYNOPSIS.

Jack Keith, Virglnian. now a bor-
der plaiasman, is riding along the Santa
Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war
parties of savages. He notices a camp
fire at a distance and then sees team
attached to a wagon and at fun galiop
pursued by men on ponies. When keith
reaches the wagon the raiders have mass
acred two men and departed. He searches
the victims finding papers and locket
with Woman's portrait. He resolves to
hunt down the murderers. Keith is ar
rested at Carson City, charged with the
murder, his accuser being a ,ruffian named
Black Bart. He goes to jail fully real1z-
ing the peril of swift border justice. A
companion In his cell is q negro, who
tells him he is Neb and that he knew the
Keith family back in Virginia. Neb says
one of the murdered men was John
Sibley, the other Gen. Willis Waite, for
merly an officer in the Confederate army.

As Waists Used to Be,

A London paper prints an article
from the ladies' treasury of 1866, in
which a prize is offered for the woman
with the smallest waist in proportion
to her size. A silk dress was the first
prize and a gold watch second prize.
In the school in which the prize was
offered by the principal the pupils
were required to sleep in corsets,
which could, however, be loosened
when retiring.

words spoken, but the black and white
hands clasped silently, and then Neb
crept back into the saddle, shivering
in his wet clothes as the cool night
wind swept against him. Keeping
close in toward shore, yet far enough
out so that the water would hide their
trail, the fugitives toiled steadily up
stream, guided only by the black out
line Of the low bank upon their left.

Opportunity For instruction
in Dairying

So great has been the demand
for expert dairying at the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin at Madison that the
dairy building has been overcrowd-
ed. An addition to the building
has recently been built and better
facilities are now available, The
students that have finished the var
ious dairy courses are in big de-
mand at good wages. A splendid
circular has recently been issued de-
scribing the courses and giving
pictures of the dairy buildings and
classes at work. This can be
secured free by addressing Prof. E.
H. harrington, College of Agricul-
ture, Madison, Wis.
There are long courses, middle
courses and short courses offered to
those interested in either farm
dairying or factory work. Those
who have had some experience in
either creameries or cheese factor
les can secure instruction at the
college which will enable them to
fill much better positions and
secure higher salary.

Rye for Early Spring Pasture

In the spring of the year nearly
every farmer is confronted with a
shortage of feed for his live stock.
Rye offers one of the best means of
providing early spring pasture, es-
pecially for hogs and sheep. Few
farmers can afford to operate their
places without from one to five acres
of winter rye to furnish pasture for
their stock early in the spring.
Rye will not only furnish good pas
ture, but will do much to help
eradicate weeds. 1t also offers an
opportunity for growing another
forage crop, like fodder corn or mill
let, on the same field later in the
season.
Rye for spring pasture should be
sown during the early part of Sep
TENDER, and in no case later than
the first of October. In order to
live through the winter it must get
a good start before cold weather
sets in. The land should be plow-
ed deep and we'll prepared before
the crop is sown. A good seed-bed
is essential, as this crop may suffer
for want of moisture and from a
severe winter. A good start in the
fall will do much to put it through
the winter in good shape.
The rye for pasture should be
sown at the rate of about two bush
els per acre, with a grain drill, and
narrowed several times after the
grain is sown.
In the spring, as soon as warm
weather sets in, the rye will make
rapid growth, and when from six to
eight inches high, it will be ready
for the hogs or sheep. Minnesota
farmers have not made as good use
of the rye crop for pasture as they
should. If you have not already
planned TO sow field of rye, give it
trial this year, and reap the bene-
fit of this crop as early pasture on
your farm. H. Tomhave, Elk.

Thomas McClary, Lecturer

There are few men on the lecture
platform who have made as great a
success as Thomas McClary. He
has the humor of an Artemus Ward
combined with the rare oratory and
learning of a Wendell Phillips. He
has done as much to make the lee
ture popular, and at the same time
instructive, as any man in the Lyce-
UNI field. Nature has endowed Mr..
McClary with a face and figure like
that of Lincoln and Emerson and
Sol. Smith Russell, and the same
power with which to make an audi
ence laugh or cry. His ideas are
fresh, his illustrations apt, and his
wit keen. We most heartily endorse
him Midland Lyceum Bureau.
Mr.. McClary will speak here soon
in the Methodist church under
the auspices of the improvement
League. The subject of his lecture
will be 1.-THE Mission of Mirth,"
