THIS is a story OF the sea. Most
yarns that are sprayed with the
spindrift Of the ocean are packed with
brave deeds, profane seamen. and a
certain kind Of rough stuff that seems
to be part and parcel OF the deep.
Updegraff, being still a young man,

world, still has a hawser lashed to the
wharf, and never let's himself get en-
tirely away from the larger emotions

advise you to begin at once a kardene

blood-clranser and body-buider, and is
niade by putting ounce kardene into u

added teaspnonfuls glycerine This
lotion is superior 20 powder, because it
does not clog The pores, and 1t imparts
an exquisite tint and velvety smooth

p EFORE dismiss the serials, II you
- have not already done so, do not
fail to begin THE SWORD OF DA-
MOCLES'' in the last issue. 1t is quite
a different type of story than we are
accustomed to printing in THE CAV
ALIER, and you will not regret be-
ginning 1t.
You will always find variety in THE
CAVALIER, and nothing will be left
undone to give its readers the widest
possible range of style with. but one
phase OF quality-that being high

HE beauty about this publication Is
that the reader has fifty-two OPP
portunities a year to regale himself
with a selection OF the things he likes
best. And when you find these things,
write me a letter and specify your
preference. The one object of my life
just now is to secure for you, at any
cost, your favorite authors. l do not
believe in working more than eight
hours day, but I do not object to
lying awake nights occasionally
thinking about my friends. Therefore,

Crow Hunt a Grand Success and
Everybody is Happy.

The Canton business men held a
crow aunt last Tuesday that was a
grand success in every respect, from
the start to the finish, which was at
the Rudolph wnere the loosers gave a
banquet for the winners.
Col. McDermott was captain of one
side 1.-THE loosers) and Henry Wallace
the other which was the winning
team. The cars carrying the hunters
could be found in every part or
Lincoln County but the majority
spent the, day in the Newton Hills
south Of town where crows were
more then plentiful.
1t seems that Col. McDermott and
his gang of trusty gun toters had some
| discussion early in the day as to
| where they had put the reserve bunch
| of crows that his men had been shoot
ing for a week and A. b. Carlson, law
shark that he is, settled the question
by saying he had them safely slowed
away and to GO on shooting more.
| Now sad to relate, Henry Wallace's
men had discovered. Macs catch of
crows and took them away for further
use, thinking that Mac could we'll
afford to loose them, with such crack
shots as B. S. Summerwell, Charles
Seeley, A. 2. Carlson. Rev. Lewis and
A. r. Brown in his crowd, but some
of Macs men loafed and vas left clear

Perhaps the feature of the day was
A. B. Carlson crawling on his hands
and knees for about a half mile to
take a shot at Joe Bragstad's decoy
crow, which he missed after firing
several rounds. Another feature was
Selmer Hanson playing adam on a
Raft" as he tried to make the Iowa
shore on a raft made of dead logs in
search Of crow he heard that some
one shot last Spring.
The days sport and good fellowship
ended in a banquet at the Rudolph
given by the loosers and the delight
full spread that Col. McDermont set
before the hungry hunters was sure
tempting, and after turkey, southern
ham and an amending list Of other
good things were laid away, Toast
master A. r. Brown, called on differ

of the day. Each one responded we'll
in turn and many "a hearty applause
