that was interesting, and they didn't

were willing to make up six or a

Dukes brothers forgot the stiffness

coon seemed to know that vicinity

John Dukes climbed up the tree af-
ter the raccoon had disappeared. He
couldn't just see how they were going
to get that coon that night. The
dogs were not able to get after the
animal So the two men crept around
the tree and stuffed up all the holes in
the bark with anything they could
find.

Roses in Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded OF
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a picl1-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table, both as garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as salad.
and rose water was largely used for
favoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
tions. but the Chinese still eat roso
fritters.
