The "BIowgun."

Among the Koasti Indians the
"blowgun" is still used for shooting
plrds. This weapon consists of tube,
usually a cane, about six feet long,
rubbed smooth on the inside with an
Implement made for the purpose, and
carefully Strengthened with the aid of
fire. Slender pointed darts about eight
inches long are used as ammunition,
each one wrapped neatly along third
of its length with thistledown or cot
ton to make it fit the inside of the
tube. The hunter places dart in the
tube, which he raises to his head and
aims at his game; then quick puff
of breath drives the little dart flying
with sufficient force to impale and kill
a small bird or squirrel.

A Good Creed.

You can't make real success with.
out making real enemies.
You can't hold strong position
without strong opposition.
You can't seem right to any If you
don't seem wrong to many.
A useful life can't be entirely peace
full and carefree.
Every earnest man In every genera
ton has paid the price Of individuality.
You can't dodge.
The greater you are, the greater the
penalty Of your progress. The further
you go, the wider your range Of con-
tact with which you must reckon, and
therefore, you multiply your battles
against misconception and slander and
envy and malice.
You can't avoid or evade your al
lotted destiny-you can only hold down
your share Of troubles by holding back.
In every sphere men gibe and sneer
even the peace Of the dltch-digger Is
threatened by the unemployed laborer
who covets his job.
SO long as you aspire, others will
conspire-so long as you try others will
vie.
You'll have hostility to face in every
place and at every pace.
Go straight ahead to your goal.
So long as your conscience isn't
ashamed to acknowledge you as a
friend, don't give rap for your enc
mics.

Clever Scientists Have

the project, Farraday asserted thot tho
lrsl cables were made too small Then
i'e saiu that the larger the wire the
i'ofe electricity would be required to
charse It," and In this quite incorrect
opinlon he was supported by other emf

In aviation the late Doctor New

mathematicians the world has ever
produced, declared that he had mathe-

BELT COMPLETES THE FROCK
Its Width Varies From One to Twelve
Inches, According to the Individual
Preference.

There Is something 30 trig and salts
factory about the belt Of patent leather
that majority Of women will be glad
to know its vogue will continue into
the autumn. This Is another way Of
saying that the one-piece dress Of
serge or Of satin will find Its compile
ton in the belt OF shiny leather.
The width Of the belt will continue
to be a matter Of individual regula-
ton. There are some which are not
less than twelve inches and others
which do not measure more than one
inch. Very wide belts are made of soft
leather in colors, and they may be
crushed into any required width when
adjusted to the waist.
Several Of the new belts have metal
buckles and others are adorned with
novelty buttons. Then there are few
which, in addition to the buckle show
rings on either side drawn together
with cord laces.

MORE LINEN WILL BE USED
Cotton Promises to Become More Ex-
pensive as Result Of Its Use for
War Purposes.

Every woman should go over her
linen and take stock at least once a
year. She should have some marks
upon the sheets and tablecloths where
by she can tell the date of their DUR
chase in the opinion Of an experienced
housekeeper.
In this way she can tell whether a
certain make Is wearing well, whether
1t does or does not pay to get the best
quality, and also tell exactly how much
more Is needed to replace that which
must be discarded.
Nice linen is expensive. but 1t has
been found to outwear the cheaper
grades. Furthermore, nice linen be-
speaks refinement in every way.
incidentally the war has brought
about so many uses for cotton that by
next year linen promises to be less ex-
pensive than cotton.
For this reason we can all revel In
the luxury Of sleeping in linen sheets,
using linen towels and having only the
purest Of linen for our table.

For Animals.

In London there is an immense vet
erinary hospital where over 5000 ami
mails are treated every year. 1t looks
like a palace and 1t is provided with
Turkish and electric baths, an operat-
ing room and ward that will accom-
modate so patients at time. Horses
with broken legs are swung up in a
sort of hammock, so that the weight Is
taken off the Injured limb, which Is put
up in splints and fastened up with
leather straps.
A poor man may have advice without
paying for it, concerning his dog or
donkey or goat, and cows are also
treated. One Of these, valuable AL.
derney, was kicked by vicious horse
and the fracture was so serious that
the leg was amputated and wooden
one substituted, the latter being kept
in place by broad straps around the
body.

Is one way to utilize leftover meat by

Meat Turnovers.
Chop the meat. If the quantity on

Fashionable Figure Of TODAY

"The fashionable figure is long and

There are no flares or protrusions.

Some Observations.

The trouble with some folks Is
that they don't consider they are
having a good time unless they
are making a nuisance of them
selves.
Nobody works quite so well
as the man who has had good
nights sleep.
A man may think he Is hiding
his dlssipations from his en-
ployers but his work tells.
It's easy enough to find
friends in fair weather; the man
with an umbrella to lend when
1t Is raining Is the bird.
AS general rule If the boss
isn't on the job himself the
clerks aren't either.
The history books would be
bigger than they are If all men
had accomplished half the things
they intended to do.
What's become of the old
fashioned boy who had the no
ton that he had to go to New
York to make his fortune?

savage Indians would attack.

old timers who made it possible
for civilization and Christianity
to advance westward, and he is
one among the pioneers who

more returns of his natal day,

UNIQUE DEFENSE.
(Arizona Gazette. J

Bisbee has a lawyer who. it
must be admitted is resourceful.
He has injected new and unqiue
interrogation point into the prohi-
bition question in this state.
Called upon to defend two men
charged with bootlegging, he
charged the officers of the law,
who made the arrest with being
the violators of the law and not
his clients.
The men were on the streets
drinking, and after being taken
into custody were searched at
the jail and a bottle of whiskey
was found on each one. The
attorney set up the claim that as
they were standing still on the
streets they were not transport
ing the liquor, and did not trans
port it until compelled to do SO
by the officers, and asked for
their release, claiming that the
officers should be held for trans
porting the booze. The justice
could not see it from the same
view point and held them to ap-
pear before the superior court
and answer to the judge.
Even if this specious plea had
been accepted, the wisdom laden
attorney overlooked one point OF
the prohibition amendment, and
that is that one violates it by
having it in his possession, as well
as by it's transportation and il
was not shown that the officers
were found with it in their
possession.
