Influence National Life.

II we peer into the pSychoIogy OF
nations" said Mr.. Bickford, eve find
that recreational activities have played
no small part in forming the national
life. In China, for instance, the con-
struction of the Chinese wall demanded
the concentration of individual against
individual, and made possible the eX-
elusive practice of the mystic games of
the country, with their age-old customs.
Because of the exclusiveness of the
country's recreational activities, the
nation retrogressed.
''In France, the national games typi-
fed the offensive of one individual to-
ward the other, with lack of any open
plan. The sword-fghts and duelings of
individuals. preclude the present policy
of France against Germany, which con-
fines the horizon Of France to her own
individual desires. With Germany, we
have the autocrat type of game leader,
who is dictatorial and conducts games
en- masse. We find the military ma
chine constructed upon this very plan.
The individual has no opportunity at
all for self-expression. The games are
based on Thou shalt not In Spain, in
the national sport of bull-fghts, there
is excessive cruelty, which colors the
entire national life. This characteristic
of cruelty was SO manifested toward
the colonies that Spain could not hold
them and failed as world power. In
America, the recreational sports take
the form of play, which is medium
for self-expression as we'll as cooper
alton. The problem is to organize lei
sure hours of the people, with the two
existing kinds of recreation-the NUM-
cipal activities, in which all the city
life has part, and the commercial

man! He keel my vaQuero ~
do you hear thet?" yelled Have.
''The Don's got you figgered fer thet
little job at Ell Cajop last fall"
The clamor burst i1to a roar. Have
began shaking his finger in Stewards
face and hoarsely shouting. Then
1.-THE young vaquerO swift as an In
dian, glided under Hawe's uplifted
arm. Whatever the action he intended,
he was too late for it's execution.
Stewart lunged out, struck the va
Quero, and knocked him off the porch.
AS he fell a dagger glittered in the
sunlight and rolled clinking over the
stones. The man went down hard and
did not move. With the same abrupt
violence, and a manner Of contempt,
Stewart threw Have off the porch,
then Don Carlos, who, being less sup
pile, fell heavily. Then the mob backed
before Stewards rush until all were
down in the courtyard.
The shuff1ing of feet ceased, the
clanking of spurs, and the shouting.
Nels and Monty, now REINFORCED by
Nick Steele, were as shadows of Stew
art, so closely did they follow him.
Stewart waved them back and stepped
down into the yard. He was absolute
1y fearless but what struck Madeline
30 keenly was his magnificent disdain.
Manifestly, he knew the nature of the
men with whom he was dealing. From
the look Of him it was natural for
Madeline to expect them to give way
before him, which they did, even Have
and his attendants sullenly eating.
Don Carlos got up to confront Stew

and moaned, but did not rise.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by parcel post Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale at
all drug stores.-Advertisemen

Madeline dismounted.
"Glve me your white sweater. Take

of sombrero and jacket, which she
held out to Madeline. "Heah. Take
these. Give me yours. Then get up

It was then that Florences face,
changing, took on the hard, stern
sharpness so typical of cowboys.
Madeline had caught glimpses Of that
expression In Alfred's face, and on
Stewards when he was silent, and on
Stillwells always. 1t was look Of
iron and f1re-unchangeable, unquench-
able will. There was even much of
