Walt Thayer, Greed LarrimOre, John
Queen. Charley Slaughter, Bill Jones
and other pioneers. all well known in
the early days of Eddy county. The
indians had fresh horses and were
armed with long range army rifles, and
when the pursuing party came in sight
the Apaches halted and. accurately
judging the distance, killed most Of
the mounts belonging to the white
men before the latter could get in
range with their short saddle guns.
Then, grimacing and sneering at
their dismOunted pursUers. the Mes
caleros went on, leaving the white men
to get as best they could back to the
valley. Now in this very country.
southwest of Lakewood and north from
Carlsbad, BrOOkshire lives, spending

to about $4,000 worth, to the cowboys

the South Springs river. who were just
beginning to practice irrigation, with
out getting cash in return. But he
knew that they were all good, and
when his creditors from Kansas. weary
Of waiting for their money, came down
TO close him out, Lea simply showed

B0weLs Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity is to Keep thl
Bowels Gently Open With a
Mid Laxative Tonic.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition Of the
bowels that greet care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
Is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion
some help can be obtained by eating
easily disested foods and Dy plenty Of
exercise, but this latter is irksOme to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that q state of constipation should
always be avoided as it is dangerous TO
life and health The best plan is TO take
a mild laxative as often as is deemed
necessary. But with equal certainty it
IS suggested that cdtnartlcS. purgatlVeS,
physics salts and pills be avoided. as
they do but temporary good and are SO
harsh as to be a shock to q delicate
system.
A much better plan. and one tha.
thousands of elderly people are follow
Ing. IS to take a gentle laNative-tOnic
like Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact. the tendency Of this remedy is
to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natur-
ally again. when medicines OF all kinds
can usually be dispensed with. This is
the opinion of many people of different
ages, among them Mr. o. T. Miller

The hippopotamus which attacked

every canoe that comes near them.
The herd is never dangerous except
when a canoe passes into the midst
Of 1t when all are asleep, and some of
them may strike the canoe in terror.
As a rule. these animals fee the ap-
proach of man. The "solitaires," how.
ever, frequent certain localities well
known to the inhabitants on the
banks, and. like the rogue elephants,
are extremely dangerous" Living

he explained:
"Why, some of my customers are

the pocket as a saving in cigar bills.
"There is no danger to the clothes,
