Squeezing the American Eagle.

The editor of the Sylvan Grove
(Mo.) News says: IF there is
anything on earth that gives a
longing for eternal rest and deep,
damp solitude, it is the man who
comes to a town or country,
builds up a big, paying business,
grows rich, and then squats
down on the gold like a hen on
the door knob and is too stingy to
let the gravels grind in his own
big gizzard. A real, genuine 49,
carat, stingy, selfish man can't
be honest, aud if he ever gets to
heaven ond has wings, he will
fold them up and walk for fear
he will ruffle a plume or lose a
tail feather. The kind of men
who build up a town or country
and enjoy life and make the best
citizens are the enterprising, en-
ergetic and liberal men who be-
lieve in living and let others live;
and who do not, when they get a
dollar, squeeze it until the God
dess of Liberty feels like she had
on a corset. Such squeezing is
what causes hard times and stops
the circulation of the American
Eagle"

The Teachers Have Pleasure and Profit.

The Teachers Have Pleasure and Profit.
The teachers of Grant parish
held a two days convention in
Colfax on Friday and Saturday
of last week, and all who attend
ed say it was one of the most
pleasant and profitable sessions
they have ever had. About Is
of the 81 teachers of the parish
were in attendance, and their en-
tire stay of two whole days, in
Guiding two evening sessions,
were all full of interest. They
adjourned Saturday night about
9:45, in time to catch the 10 and
and IL o'clock trains, and all ex-
pressed delight at their treatment
while in CoIfax, which was form
ally rendered in a vote of thanks
before adjournment.
Prof. Richardson. of the State
University, engaged in agricul-
tural extension work, and DR..

lege, State University, each de-
livered two or three most in
structive and enjoyable lectures
during the session, which, added
to the program of numbers as
signed to teachers and others,
rendered the session very inter-
esting and entertaining to the
large number of citizens who at
tended.
The general concensus of opin-
iol of the visitors and all was
t at Grant parish was well
abreast of the times with its
schools. The school board, par
ticularly, was deservedly compli-
mented for its intelligent and
progressive policy in the manage

citizens of the parish were con-

GWHY SHOULD | USE
CUTiCURA S0AP?"

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but it's great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making it's
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"
Dept. L, Boston, for liberal sam
pie cake. together with thirty-two

Il Was oede.

And thereat she told him more Of
her ranch life In the days before her
father died. And Daylight was hugely
pleased with himself. They were get
ting acquainted. The conversation
had not Jagged in the full half hour
they had been together. When she
talked. he listened and followed her.
and yet all the while he was follow
ing his own thoughts and impressions
as we'll. It was nervy thing
for her to do. this riding astride.
and he didn't know. after all,
whether he liked 1t or not. His
ideas of women were prone to be
old-fashioned; they were the ones he
had imbibed in the early day. frontier
life of his youth. when no woman was
seen on anything but a sfde-saddle.
He had grown up to the tacit fiction
that women on horseback were not bi.
peds. It came to him with a shock.
this sight of her so manlike in her
saddle. But he had to confess that the
sight looked good to him Just the
same.

CHAPTER XIV.

Another Sunday man and horse and
dog roved the Piedmont hills. And
again Daylight and Dede rode togeth-
er. But this time her surprise at
meeting him was tinctured with sus-
picion; or rather, her surprise was Of
another order. The previous Sunday
had been quite accidental. but his
appearing the second time among her
favorite haunts limited Of more than
the fortuitous. Daylight was made to
feel that she suspected him. and he.
remembering that he had seen .
big rock quarry near Blair Park.
stated ofhand that he was think
ing Of buying It. His one-tims
Investment In brickyard had
put the idea into his head-an idea
that he decided was q good one, for it
enabled him to suggest that she ride
along with him to inspect the quarry.
SO several hours he spent in her
company. in which she was much the

she declared she was more In love with
than ever. Against his better judg-
ment, Daylight gave in. and. on an
unfrequented stretch Of road, changed
saddles and brides. ~
Remember. he's creased lightning"
he warned. as he helped her to mount
She nodded. while Bob pricked up
his ears to the knowledge that he had
q strange rider ON his back. The
fun came quickly enough-too quickly
for Dede, who found herself against
Bob's neck as he pivoted around and
bolted the other way. Daylight followed
on: her horse and watched. He saw
her check the animal quickly to .
