 If your names Houston, l guess you do,' came the answer. But if you can read or write, you ought to know that while you ma. own it. you don't use it. That's our privi- lege from now on, in cold black and white. As far as the law is con- cerned, this is our Hume, and our wa ter and our lake, and our woods back there.

His good hand clenched. A leap and he had struck the foreman on the point of the chin, sending him reeling backward, while the other men rushed to his assistance.

 Here comes sombeody!" Ba'tistc's grip frightened about the cant hook and he rose, squaring himself. Hous- ton seized the club and stood waiting few feet in the rear, in readiness for anyone who might evade the bull warll of blows which Batiste evil dently intended to set up.
 A moment more, and l'a'tiste, with sudden exclamation, allowed his cant hook to drop to the ground.
 "Eet is Thayer and Wade, the sheriff from Montview, and his deputy. Peuff! Have he fool heem too?"
 The sheriff pulled two legal docu- ments from his pocket. and unfolding them, had shown Houston the bot tom of each. Barry's eyes opened wide.

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY S0O7HED
 WITH SULPHUR

Mentho- Sulphur, q pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is ir- ritated or broken out with eczema: that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Noth- ing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur prcpara- ton is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and tho skin is de- lightfully clear and smooth. sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy be- cause it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or dis flguremcr.. Mentho-Sul always heals eczema right up.
 A small jar of Mentho-Sulphur may be had at any good drug storM.

Standing or
 walking here $ TO escape

EVERYWHERE the same Iunyielding hardness un- derfoot. Just standing is a strain-every step is a jolt. Never was the need ofa heel that gives real protection as great as it is today.
 The price of O'Sullivan's Safety Cushion Heels to you is generally the same as the price of ordinary heels, in spite of the fact that they cost the repairman more.
 The repairman has two reasons for accepting this smaller profit first, because O'SuIlivan's always make satisfied customers; second, because the good will of these customers builds big. ger business for him.
 Ask for O'Suliivan's when you leave your shoes zee that they are attached.

GIRL, II, BLIND AND DEAF,
"HEARS" WITH FINGERS.
Supernormal Senses of Touch and
Smell Astound Scientists Nose
Over Photo, Then Describes 1t.

Willetta Higgins, seventeen totally
blind and deaf, has recently been
taken to Chicago from the School for
the Blind at GAINESVILLE, Wis, to DEM
onstrate senses of touch and smell
that are so evidently supernormal as
to astound physicians and scientists.
She was born in Eau Claire with
defective vision and hearing, which
continued to impair. Complete deaf
ress overlook her at ten. At fifteen
such of her sigft as remained was
destroyed by an illness.
Here is What she demonstrated in
private tests last Thursday: She can
hear over the telephone by placing
her fingers on the receiver. She can
hear persons talk by placing her
fingers on ;;heir cheeks. The "vibra-
tlons," she says, convey the words to
her.
She can read newspaper headlines
by feeling of the letters. But she
cannot read the body Of the article
as the letters are too small. She
can tell the denomination of paper
money by the same method.
She can hear 3 lecture or con-
cert by holding thin sheet of paper
between her fingers directed broad
side toward the volume of sound.
She discerns colors by odors. Be-
fore the Chicago Medical Society
sne separated several skcins Of yarns
and correctly told tre colors by
smelling.
Among the experiments was one
ir which she rubbed her nose over
{: photograph and anncuced that it
was a group picture of two men and
2 woman. It was
She was given a knitted tie and
asked it's coiors. She held it to her
nose a moment and announced cor
,ectly, "Red, blue and brown"
Two years ago a teacher Of the
blind in Eau Claire told Willetta
about Helen Keller's method of COM
munication. Willctta, interested, be-
gan to show mental development and
then alertness- She learned to talk
with people by placing her hands on
the larynx or her finger tips on the
head or chest of the speaker.
Psychologists had pronounced her
subnormal when she entered the
GAINESVILLE school. She is we'll devel-
oped, dark and bob-hair, attractive
and aniable.

FLOOR PRACTICE
GETTING. STARTED
Twenty-Five Candidates Out
for Pennington Highs
Basketball Team.

HARRINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Bas-
ketball practice at Pennington
High School will get into full swing
this week. The squads. both the
boys and the girls, began their In
itial workouts last week. but no
work OF a Aerlous nature was a.
tempted. This week, however.
things will begin in earnest. The
practice schedule calls for the girls
to practice four times a week and
the boys five. The Thanksgiving
holidays will interfere with this
schedule somewhat, but the work
will not be lessened on that az.
count.
II the number Of candidates will
warrant 1t, a class league will be
formed among the boys and a
schedule played OF to determine
the school championship, before
any attempt is made to pick u
squad or first team. At present.
there are only about twenty-five
candidates out, and this number,
while being sufficient for five teame
without substitutes, Is not enough
to warrant attempting a class
league. 1t Is highly probable that
more candidates will come out la
ter, though. Unless something Of
this sort is attempted, athletics
around the school will be rattle:
tame until after the first OF the
year, for It is mot probable that any
games with other schools will be
played until that time.
