PLUGGING
CAN WIN ONE
Of PONIES
SpasmOdic Effort Cannot Get Re-
wards for Boys and Girls
in Big Contest.

1t is not spasmodic effort that wins
prizes. 1t is constant plugging
The boys and girls in the Georgian
and American pony contests will do
well to remember this.
When you nave a big day" and
votes come rolling in, do not take
that for an excuse to lay off, for a
day or two following. Every day you
rest is a day lost and July 81 is not
as far away as il may seem to you
July 5 is even nearer on the
night of July 8, the bonus votes will
be distributed There are special
vote offers for clubs of five subsCrlp-
tions, either yearly, half yearly or
quarterly. These subscriptions do
not need TO be sent in all at once, but
may be sent in one or two at a time
if desired Indeed, this is a much
better plan than holding back as
many of the contestants now are do
ing. No offer as good will be made
after July ., and the contestants who
delay will miss getting thousands Of
votes which they might win with no
extra effort before them.
There is also an offer of $4,000 eN-
ira votes for the first $50 in subsCrip-
lions turned in. This offer may be
withdrawn at any time,
In Sundays American the vote
standings will be published, and
every indication is that some of the
erstwhile leaders will be rudely
awakened. There has been a great
revival of interest in the contest since
the special offers and the extra prizes
were announced, and many of the
contestants who were working not
very energetcally up to that time
are busy as bees now

ants-those who have not shown win

now are awake to the fact that in
some districts, the ponies are any
bodys who viii get out and do few

safe anywhere, in fact, for the rea-
son that so many are concealing their
real strength Others are boasting
Of their strength, while in fact they
have shown their whole hand, and
have all their votes counted.

NEW YORK. June 21-Here's u
real snake story and an advertise
ment for linen collars all in one! The
hero and the author of the great
reptile yarn is Gerhard Wieder, third
officer of the Prinz August Wilhelm,
at her dock. after voyage from the
West Indies, with $4,000 punches Of
bananas in her hold-but that's an
other story.
While the Prinz August Wilhelm

gone into the jungle in quest of spec
linens He had caught a particularly
beautiful insect in his net and stoop-

struck a blow on the neck that sent
him sprawling.
When he saw the cause he scram-
bled to his feet fast enough. A snake,
known in those parts as the jimbaree
and deadly poisonous, had struck
him.
Wieder affects exceedingly high
collars In fact. We're it not for the

life. for the fangs of the jimbaree

WONDERFUL DRUG
THAT STIMULATES
GROWTH OF HAIR
And REEVES Pigment-forming Cells That
Give Hair Its Natural Color.

Hardly any of us are entirely free from
dandruf or other scalp affections. Millions
OF us, SO long as the trouble is slight, do little
or nothing to cure the affection. Other mil
lions are trying to do something, but getting
no results, by applying all sorts of fancy COL
ored and fancy named hair "tonics." You
are not likely to get much benefit, if any,
by using any preparation that does not con-
tain the one known drug that positively stim-
ulates the growth of hair. The safe and sure
way is to mix your own tonic or go to q reli-
able druggist and have him mix 1t for you.
Here is simple formula: OF. ordinary Bay
Rum; 2 OF. ordinary Lavona de Composee; "
drachm Menthol Crystals. If you choose, add
drachm of your favorite perfume. Apply
to the scalp with finger tips, night and morn
ing, to destroy dandruff. to stop falling hair,
to cleanse and beautify the hair, and to stim-
ulate the growth of the hair. This treatment
is recommended to stimulate the growth of
the hair, even in cases of complete badness.
If your hair is prematurely gray, try it and
see if it will not make the pigment forming
cells active enough to completely restore the
natural color. This formula contains no dye
or artificial coloring matter but is designed to
make nature produce the natural color in the
natural way. Any druggist can supply you
with the ingredients or mix the tonic for you.

ORDERED HIS PEARL FRIED
If He Had Stewed 1t He Would
Have Made $4,000.

Martinez, Calf Judge E. H.
Ware had taken, on recent trip to
San Francisco, his oysters in a stew
instead of fried, he would be richer
today by small fortune. On biting
into one of his fried oysters the Judge
encountered something hard. Investi-
cation disclosed pearl, which he
tucked away in vest pocket.
Back again in Martinez, Judge
Ware showed his pearl to Under Sher-
if William Veale, who offered to sub
nit it to San Francisco jeweler for
valuation. When the San Francisco
expert looked at the pearl he said:
"If your friend had ordered an oys-
ter stew instead of a fry this thing
would be worth $15, 200. 1t is per-
feet in form and just matches one
we're trying to find mate for, but
the frying has completely ruined it."

Develops Strong Men.

Timber work is no sinecure. 1t il
hard life, but it is out in the open,
and it develops strong men. The city
man who thinks the forest a play
ground has never rolled out with the
"jobber's sun" in winter, broken a
"jam" in the spring, or driven rioting
rivers in summer. The "jobber's
sun" is the moon. Advantage must
be taken of seasonable weather in the
woods. This was especially so in the
old days, when there was less logging
by railroad. Then good snow for
hauling meant that every bit Of day
light must be utilized. The men were
rolled out early. Often it was to
breakfast at or o'clock and labor
until the darkness of night made work
impossible. The men often walked to
their work in the woods by moonlight
in the morning. Hence came the ap-
pellation for the moon of "jobber's
sun"

QUIT WORK IN THE SUMMER
Yellowstone Beavers Busy All Winter,
But Nothing Is Doing In the
Hot Weather.

Yellowstone park, the national play
ground" is filled with wonders. but
there probably is nothing more won
derful than the beavers.
In secluded valleys, along quiet
streams, the first engineers" are still
building dams, digging canals. rearing
houses, and having good time.
1t isn't easy to see the beavers.
They seldom appear except at night.
You have to steal up quietly by moon
light and remain motionless to OBJ
serve them at work or play.
Their work, however. can always
be seen. "Beever Lake" Is the most
remarkable. There Is a meadow where
beavers have lived for probably hun
dreds of years, with one old dam
600 feet long, clear across the valley.
The beaver year starts In Septem.
ber. There is construction or repair
work to be done and the winters sup
ply of food to gather. First come the
dams. They are needed to deepen
the water so the beavers will have a
sure escape from their enemies.
With their sharp teeth they cut
down trees, from mero saplings up to
two or even three feet in diameter.
Then they bite off the branches and
cut the trunks into short sections and
drag or float them to the dam site
anchoring them firmly on the bottom
and piling more logs and brush to the
desired height. They fill the chinks
with grass and mud.
They build their houses by laying
foundation Of logs and sticks on the
bottom of the damned stream. On
this they pile two feet of mud. Then
they put on cone-shaped roof Of
poles and mud on the outside.
They work together, pulling. push
ing, and rolling the logs.
When their autumn work is done
they have nothing to do until spring
Then they come out. In June they
go on their long summer vacation,
walking and swimming about, enjoy.
ing life and visiting their friends for
miles around.
Really, 1t isn't so bad to work like
beaver" They have at least as
good time as the RUNNER tourists
do.

First Submarine Boat.

The first submarine boat ever built
was made of slaves like a barrel, but
cigar-shaped in outline, fitted with
feathering oars and driven by man
power. 1t was constructed by David
Bushnell and used with effect in the
revolutionary war. Its success led to
further constructions at later dates,
one of which was the man driven "In-
telligent Whale" which now stands
as relic in the grounds of the New
York navy yard.
This machine is also cigar-shaped
and was driven by a series of hand
cranks working the propeller at the
rear. 1t was built in 1864, is 20 feet
in length, 9 feet deep, and made of
one-half inch boiler iron.
