A Fire at Cana.

Capa.-Four business houses at
Capa, a small station 40 miles west
Of Pierre on the Northwestern road,
were burned TO the ground SUNDAY
night. The fire originated in a pool
hall and spread rapidly to the adjoin-
Ing buildings and could not be checked
until the printing office, drug store and
general store had burned to the
ground A call for help was sent to
Midland and the fire department re-
sponded as soon as possible, but with
no adequate means of fighting the fire
they could do very little toward
squelching the flames. The loss
amounts to about $4,000 with some in
surance. Very little of the contents
of any of the buildings was saved, so
rapid was the Roadway which the fire
gained Capa is a small town and has
very little equipment for fighting
fires.

mainly for irrigation purposes, are

She holds the true secret of facial

remove the dead skin particles as fast
as they appear It's a secret anyone
may possess. The aged, faded or
discolored surface skin may be grad

rational manner by the nightly appli-
cation of ordinary mercollzed wax.
Within a week or two the underlying
skin, youthful and beautiful to be-

carded cuticle. SO little of the old
skin is absorbed each day there's no

JOBS TESTIMONIAL.
sOOoooooooCCooooOOOOOoO
BY Chester Porter Bisscll.

! Job sat on the woodpile, sore at the
world; incidentally he was sore all
over. Job had the boil business down
to a science. He thought at first he
might as well look at the matter op-
tmstically, and thanked his stars he
was having them all at once; but
when the boils came with interest
compound interest and then usury, JOB
began to complain that life was
doggoned sight worse than the poets
were harping about. Job did not get
real sore until the unions began call
1 ing him scab; then he kicked ovel
the traces and grew unruly. This
made Jobs blood boil
! About this time along came a pat.
ent medicine man selling some kind
of sarsaparilla, and Job took the
/ last dollar in the house, bought a
bottle and took the whole thing at
one gulp. The directions said one
teaspoonful a day but Job went on the
theory that he had a bad case which
needed vigorous treatment.
About the second day Jobs boil
complaint sand into insignficance for
in their place came new crop of
carbuncles. These carbuncles were
about the size of a china nest-egg,
and they came because he had played
off sick when she had <usecleaninG
to do last spring.
The carbuncles came so thick on
Job there were none left for any
one else; the patent medicine men
began to kick on Job having u corner
on the boil business, and compelled
him to put mortgage on his ma
cadamized forty acres to buy their
usual sales, or be sued under the anti
trust law.
Before going to bed one night, Job
counted seven thousand carbuncles.
eight hundred and twenty boils and
sixty-two cat boils; and yet there were
lot of places that Job could not get
In position to count.
Job had been sleeping standing up,
but now arose new complication:
The carbuncles began coming on the
bottom of his feet. so this knocked the
props from out OF his stand-Np busi-
ness. On top Of his head was small
place that the boils had avoided--it
was so bald dnd slick the boils could
not stick on. Job began taking his
nights rest by standing on his head.
and was just getting used to this prop
osition when fate handed him another
yellow, juicy lemon in the shape OF a
carbuncle about the size OF box Of
axle grease right on his bald peak.
This brought up the question again:
Where was Job going to sleep now
Job was certainly In bad on this boil
business.
There was only one position left In
which Job could sleep. On his fin
ger ends and toes there was scarcity
