FINDING WATER IN FOREST
Experienced Huntsman In South Can
Always Secure Cool, Refreshing
Drink From Trees.

In many sections OF the forest lands
In the south during the dry season a
man may walk for miles without find-
ing q stream Of water or a spring by
which to quench his thirst. II. how
ever, he is an experienced hunter and
woodsman he will not have to drink
water from the stagnant pools in or
der to keep life in his body.
Queer as 1t may seem. an expert
enced man can hunt for days through
such dry tracts and yet experience
no Inconvenience on account OF the
lack Of water. Nature has provided
a means which is only known to the
initiated. Every old huntsman car
ries with him when going on long
hunt a small auger. by which he can
secure a refreshing drink and water
to cook with at any moment.
A cottonwood tree or a willow is
the well which the willy huntsman
taps. He examines each tree until
he finds one that has what woods
man calls q "vein." It Is simply an
attenuated protuberance. By boring
into this "vein" a stream Of clear wa
ter will flow out. II is not sap. but
clear, pure water. The huntsmen say
that the water ds better than the av-
erage to be had from ordinary wells.
There is no sweetish taste about 1t,
but 1t has a strong flavor Of sulphur
and is slightly carbonated.
The reason for this phenomenon
cannot easily be explained, but that a
supply of water can be contained in
a tree7is not so surprising. The fact
Of its flowing is the wonderful feature.
showing that It must be under pres
sure, or, IN other words. that there Is
more at the source of the supply.
When It is considered that the trees
furnish water in the dry season and
that the ground is literally baked. 1t
is the more remarkable, especially
when the roots of the trees do not
extend to any great depth into the
ground.

MUST BE WORN WITH GRACE
Enormous Fur Scarf Is Decidedly a
Thing Of Beauty or It 10
the Reverse.

The most striking fur fad Of the
season is the enormous scarf, usually
straight but occasionally pointed at
the ends, very supple and light, very
wide, long enough to wind round the
body in any manner desired and still
fall almost to the ground. The grace
full wearing Of these fur scarfs is an
art and difficult of mastery. Perhaps
that is why the Parisienne has taken
up the cult so enthusiastically. She
loves a mode that must be taken
seriously, that fails lamentably If not
carried of with verve and understand
ing. and these great scarfs afford op-
portunity for subtle skill in draping
and in handling. When not worn
gracefully they are bunglesome and
awkward. To be able to buy one is
not all. One must be able to wear
1t becomingly, coquettishly. after 1t is
bought. Here is another of the styles
for the slender woman. The fat wom-
an and the new fur scarf are hope
lessly incompatible.

The mothers of growing daughters
should be very careful about the tit
Of their frocks, especially to have all
parts loose enough, for girls in their
teens are apt to pine for a small
waist and will endure tortures from a
tight band rather than own up to any

contrive in some way to pull in or
make smaller even the corded waists

 Senator Dixon's letter was as fol- lows:
 My Dear Mir. Mckinley: For the purpose of determining definitely whether the Republican voters of the country desire Col.

 The appearance of Carnegie at the door of the car was the signal for a defeaning demonstration of cheers and applause at the hands of the crowd, and the aged philanthropist barred his head and muttered his thanks for the cordial reception. Within an hour after his arrival he called in the local newspaper men for a chat, and for an hour or more he talked interestingly to them on various topics, declaring himself already delighted with the Hot Springs climate and saying the mountains reminded him so much of his native Scotland.
 "1 am grieved at the difference which has come up between Taft and Roosevelt. Why, it is as if Damon and Pythias quarreled. You cannot imagine such thing, can you? Per sonally, I admire both of them so much, so much, in fact, that I would like to spank them both," and Mr. Carnegie made q motion as if in reality seeking the proverbial slipper and seemed to look around for the erring youngsters.
 Senator Root is the wisast man in America, he continued, and Roose- welt often bowed before his opinion. But of them all, Taft is the best He is such whole-souled, generous gen tleman."
