 We are fortunate indeed to be able to profit by the experience of our neighbors. The public utterance of Nena residents on the following subject will interest and benefit many of our readers. Read this statement No better proof of merit can be had.
 Samuel HopD. 606 Seventh St. Mena, says: 'Lumnago and kidney complaint came on me without warning and the pains in my back were so bad that could hardly stand them. I couldn't stand up straight or bend over. A box and a half of Doan's Kidney Pills fixed me up all right
 NEARLY THREE YEARS LATER Mr. Hopp said: q take Doan's Kid ney Pills of and on now as sort of a kidney tonic. My former endorse ment still holds good"
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney pills-the same that Mir. Hopp has twice publicly recommended. Foster Milburn Co. Props, Buffalo, N. Y. (Adv)

ARE MARVELS OF INGENUITY
Observations in the Garden Reveal
Really Remarkable Work Done
by Small Creatures.

There is no better place than a gar
den to study insects. The dark-cOl-
ored beetle-the Oil-beetle-may be OBJ
served, and as soon as the bees come
the larva of this beetle contriveS to
get upon a bees body, so as to be car
ried away to the bees home, where 1t
feeds upon the food there, and eventu-
ally leaves as perfect beetle.
Other kinds of beetles act as grave
diggers; certain ants keep a diary ;
and there are masons, carpenters, and
upholsterers among the bees. The ma
son-bee constructs its cell Of mortar
By dropping saliva on bits of earth
and mixing both together it pounds
the mixture into sort of cement. II
works this into the shape of mold
inside which the female deposits her
egg. Several such mortar cells may
often be found lying close together.
The carpenter-bee makes it's house
| on decaSed wood, and lines 1t with
pieces of leaves, which it cuts off In
the form of a circle, and adjusts sc
skillfuIly that it's nest is made water
tight without any coating. A very
ingeniously-construCted home is also
that of the upholsterer-bee, which dGx
terously cuts out the petals Of thC
half-expanded flowers of a poppy. Il
then strengthens the folds, and fits
them so that splendid tapestry over
hangs the walls of its home in which
the honey is deposited.

Save Your HairI Get IS Cent Bottle

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-

If not remedied causes the hair roots

which is so beautiful. 1t will become

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Registration,

At noon the following day the COM
missioners came out to the butte, and
announced the conditions of the land
opening. All entrymen were to start
from the Coulee at given signal, to
be made at ten o'clock in the morning
of the second day following. Any per-
son who started before the signal
would be disqualified.
A tent was set up for the commits
sioners in the coulee bottom, on the
reservation side of the dwindled
stream, and the chairman and secre-
tary proceeded to take the signatures,
thumb prints and descriptions of the
waiting colony Of prospectOrs and cow
boys.
Since Hardy and Marie had first
come upon the camp, the number of
men had twice doubled. Yet, owing
to the obscure manner In which the
proposed opening had been advertised,
there were absurdly few Of them, all
told, compared to the multitudes at
other governmental land openings. Per
haps with view toward covering this
discrepancy, the commissioners had or.
dered full descriptions of every con-
testant, and so managed to cover many
sheets Of paper and to consume much
| time.
The recording was well under way

PaWpaW's Many Uses.

The principal use of the pawpaw,
says writer in the Journal of Hered-
ity, is to eat from the hand, but there
are other uses that it can be put to. 1t
makes splendid custard pie. There Ia
no finer dessert than pawpaw eaten
with cream and sugar. 1t is used to
make beer the same as the persimmorl
by putting the fruit in jar, MASKING
it and putting water on it and Letting
it stand until fermented. 1t also an
swers to make pudding just the same
as persimmon pudding is made. 1t is
also said that brandy equal to peach
brandy is made Of pawpaws. Marina
lade which is equal to that Of pears OF
peaches may be made of pawpaw. The
custard may be spread on board and
dried like pumpkin leather.

Error Mars Great Picture.

In the rotunda of the capitol al
Washington there are eight great paint
ings, carefully designed and executed
by the artists for the adornment OF
the pation's greatest building. Yet five
of them are either defective in tech
nique, or in error as to natural or his
tOrlcal facts.
One of the best-known pictures Ia
that in which Washington is shown re-
signing his commission to the cOntI'
mental congress, says the Philadelphia
Record There are two girls, almost
life-size, standing in tho foreground,
They are very pretty girls; but one OF
them has three hands. One left hand
rests on the shoulder Of her cOmpan'
ion, another left hand is round her
companions waist. Doubtless the art
list, Trumbull, painted both hands to
see which pose he preferred, and then
forgot to paint out the supertluouS
hand.

he backed away around the corner
of the cabin, and ran to jump on his
pony and gallOp away. Hardy had
sprung up. But it was only to hasten
into the house for water. He came out
with a half-filled bucket, drew Oinna
over on her back, and dashed water
into her face. She opened her eyes,
saw him, and, reddening with shame,
turned her face aside. 1t happened
to be toward her brother. Suddenly
she drew herself up on her elbow to
bend over the gray face.
"He-is nOt-dead!" she gasped.
Redbear's lips were moving. Hardy
kneft to lift him up to a half-sitting
position. He knew by grim experience
that with such wound there was no
hope, but he also knew that it would
ease the agony to raise the injured
man. Oinna dampened her brothers
forehead. He muttered curse.
"Not that, boy" warned Hardy. You
have only few minutes"
Redbear seemingly did not hear him
He repeated the curse: 1.-THE! Pd
"a got him-way l got NOgen-if yor
hadn't unloaded-my gun"
"YOu shot Nogen" queried Hardy
Speak out! You say you shot No

you-wanted her. We-I-tried to get
observation-disclosures he, Van, told me
you wanted Marie-that way. The
liar-the- Ah-r-rh !"
From between the lips that had
parted to utter the curse there gushed
scarlet stream.
Hardy laid the body on the ground
and drew the distracted girl away by
main force.
Come into the house." he ordered.
"You must not look at him."
She offered only passive resistance.
When he had put her in chair, she
sat motionless, as if dazed, her dry
eyes fixed on vacancy.
"This won't do" he said. "You
must go to your grandfather. l can
not take you with me, and besides"
He checked himself, caught up O
blanket, and went outdoors. When
presently he returned, she had not
moved. He fastened her scant ward
robe and few trinkets in blanket roll
and led her out around the house
carefully keeping himself between hel
and the blanket-cOvered form on the
ground near the door. He had brought
her own and her brothers ponies tC
the back of the house. He laShed the
bundle on the dead mans saddle
lifted the girl upon her pony, anC
mounted his mare.
| Halfway to the agency they met I'll
Owa-kOnZa coming down with Severa
members of his family to visit his half
breed grandchildren. Urged by Hardy
the girl broke her distraught silence tt
tell the old chief what had happened
Before she had finished she was weep
ing in the arms of her grandfather.
Notwithstanding the delay, Hardy
again permitted the mare to choose
her own pace. Though she went a
steady trot, a messenger in the re
naming automobile easily could have
overtaken him at any time before dark
But no messenger was sent.

down to the camp. Neither made any
attempt to push into the line of entry
men. But Dupont read the posted no.
tice of the conditions of the contest,

that he wished to show him something
over at the butte. The young man

"What Is III" he asked. "Have you

ness"
They'll have to stand for 1t, IL

Vandervyn. "In this game three of a
kind beat all the jacks in the pack"

see the difference between horses"

He wheeled his borrowed pony to

Hold on!" replied Dupont, frowning
uneasily. 81 want to talk over fixing
up about the way we share the mine.
Vandervyn lifted his eyebrows.
"Aren't you satisfied? Now that Red
bear is-out of the way, there will be
none to question our sharing of the
mine between us"
ITS between us, all right" sullenly
replied Dupont. "Tain't in writing

no right to enter no claim. What's tC

ing me to whistle for my half, sOon's

drew a folded paper from an lnne

He turned about and went out
