Answer: Wash the head with

over the face or neck. The kerosene
will kill any lice that may be left

when we had finished. Archie's
seven weeks old st. Bernard puppy
has come and 1t is the dearest puppy
imaginable; a huge. soft thing, which
Archie carries around in his arms
and which the whole family love.
Yesterday 1 took a first ride on

going along on Rusty as a kind of
a nurse. Roswell Is not yet four and
he is really a green colt and not
quite the horse 1 want at present. as
l haven't time to fuss with him, and
am afraid of letting the sergeant ride
him, as he does not get on we'll with
him, n there Is nobody else In our
stable that can ride at all. He Is a
beautiful horse. a wonderful jumper,
and does not pull at all. He SHES
pretty badly, especially when he
meets an automobile; and when he
leaves the stable or strikes a road
hal he thinks will take him home
and is not allowed to go down it. he
is apt to rear, which / do not like;
but / am inclined to think that he
will get over these traits, and If /

morning they walked us up at day
break, singing just outside the win

that IL there had been any marked

not want a horse with which 1 have

an hour or two to the job. So that
