them twice that summer, which cured
them.
" That fall I went over to White Sui
phur Springs and bought a bunch of
bucks from G. w. Cook. I had agreed
to write my brother Leonard if I made
the purchase, so after the deal was
closed I wrote, telling him when I
would start for Cascade, and to meet
me at Beaver Flats. I stayed the first
night out with Joe Stevens near Fort
Logan, and in the morning he outfitted
me with some grub and I went on ex-
pecting to meet Leonard at the point
I had told him of in my letter. When
I arrived Leonard was not there, as
there had been some delay in receiving
my letter, so I kept on until dark when
I unsaddled my horse, spread my sad
die blanket out on the ground, and with
what I thought was a good lump of dirt
for q pillow laid down to sleep. Right
away I discovered that what I thought
was a small pile of dirt was an ant
hill, and the ants soon let me know
they were not expecting company. One
particularly busy fellow crawled into my
ear and began buzzing around in there
while I tried my 'durndest' to get him
out. Finally I went to the creek, grab
bed up a handful of water and proceed
ed to give him the water cure. Much
to my satisfaction he swan out, but
all thoughts of sleep had vanished so
I saddled up and started on. At Rock
creek the bucks didn't fancy the water
and I had quite a time getting them
across. However, I had one of the best
sheep dogs I ever saw and together we
finally herded them over.
II arrived at Hound creek about two
o'clock the next morning, and found my
brother camped there with the grub
wagon, which was mighty welcome.
Lenoard was asleep with his gun beside
him. I quietly took the gun, and as
there had been Indians in the neigh
borhood, thought I would give him a
little scare. Walking about 10 feet
away, I let out a war whoop and fired
of the gun. Leonard jumped about 10
feet, blankets and all, and then saw me.
What he called me for the next IL min
utes wouldn't be fit to print, but you
can bet the air was blue. He should
have killed me right there.

Mr.. Sieben recalls that Conrad Kohrs

cattle. In the spring, Brother Leonard
went to Fort Benton and made a con-
tract with the butcher, MI. Stockings,
to deliver these old work oxen for beef
at 10 cents per pound. We bought the
cattle the year before. They cost us
SO to $12 per head, and when they
butchered them at the rate of 10 cents
per pound they Melted us $50 to 500,
That summer we freighted from Fort
Benton and n trip to Cow Island and
back. In the spring of 1870 we went
to Corrine, Utah, and freight was hard
to get, and Leonard pulled out to buy
cattle. He went up to Bear lake and
bought 160 odd head of cattle. I stayed
at Corrine until July before I got any
freight with the team. B~roadwater
loaded me with government freight to
Fort Ellis, up in the Gallatin valley.
When I arrived there with the freight
and unloaded the farmers wanted me
to load up with grain for Helena, which
I did, and after delivering that grain
here I got a contract from Lewis &
Reese, a st. Louis outfit, to move a
ten-stamp quartz mill from George
town to Indian creek. There were two
trips of that, which took me until No.
vember to clean up that job. Then the
company wanted me to get out some
mining timber. I took the contract
to get out for the mill 5000 feet of run
ming measure mining timber. That
wound up my summer work, and I pull
ed into winter quarters. In the mean
time Leonard bought the cattle and To-
Gated in Chestnut valley and I went
down there with the teams and win
tered with him. In the spring of 1871
we sold the teams to Tom Clary, father
of Roy Clary, and we took that money
and went back to Utah and bought
cattle, bought something like 400 head,
drove them from Utah up to Chestnut
valley and turned them loose, and there
we were in the cattle business until
1879.
I'm the meantime our youngest
brother, Jake, had come to Montana to
join us and he had a notion for sheep
as we agreed to furnish him with sheep,
and he went to Red Bluffs, Calf, in
the spring of 1876. He bought 2,100 to
1900 head of sheep at $500 per head.
He drove them through that season, ar
irving in the Prickly Pear valley in
December. My brother Leonard was on
his way East, and when he got here
he found the sheep in such bad condi-
ton that he gave up the Eastern trip
and went in the valley and bought hay
and hired ranchers to haul it out to
the hills, trailed the sheep down to the
valley. and stayed there until after
Christmas, when it moderated so they
could drive through to Chestnut valley.
They were fine Merino sheep and were
badly infected with scab and we lost
about half OF them the first winter. We
got I. G. Baker & company, who were
then in the transportation business, to
bring us up two hogshead of scrap to-
bacco from st. Louis to Fort Benton and
I went after it with four horse teams
and hauled 1t up to the valley, and we
made arrangements In the meantime
for dipping them. We made the watts

 Bannister laughed. And how he hated it." he said. Poor Jordan! By t he way, where is he?"
 He's gone," Kate Hewlett told him crisply. T told him to report to Chief Henley that we didn't need any more policemen around here and if he sent out another one I'd complain to the mayor. The man just sort of gulped and said, Yes, ma'am,' and made for the door. I don't think he'll be back again."

 Kate Hewlett shrugged off the compliment. Well" she said, "I try to use the common sense the good Lord gave me. So that was; your sister, was it, Juliet? Pretty little thing. Not as pretty as you are though. Is she older?"

 "Well, I wouldn't worry about that. Do you suppose he'll be out here tomorrow morning."

 Of course We may be able to cut the average in two and reduce his explosives to two a minute instead of ten, but it is as natural for a spirited boy to use slang as 1t is for him to breathe.

 There is, however, too much slang to-day. Not slang exactly. but smart quips, distorted words and a silly gumbo of slush that doesn't mean anything.

Paris-Fashions for the eighteen-year-old girl should not be different in any way from the general mode. It is merely a question of selecting an appropriate style.
 When you mention evening dresses for the debutante age, I have invariably.noticed that people immediately visualize an anachronical type of dress something very full, very modest and, of course, very light and vaporous.
 Fortunately, the "jeune file" is not held to wear this one type of dress and no oth- CT, although, as a matter of fact, it is a vastly pretty and becoming one. Probably the reason why the mind associ- ates this style more especially with the debutante is because there are certain stiff fabrics such as taffetas and tulle which are eminently suited to her. After all, only the very youthful and not fully devel- oped feminine form is able to carry off the somewhat rigid lines proper to these fabrics.
 The modern girl, as a rule, has very good taste in dress. While she may err sometimes in her choice of evening mod els, for daytime wear she will usually select clothes which are simple and cleancut. These are becoming on con- dition that the cleancut, sober look is not exaggerated and becomes something too boy ish altogether, emphasized also by the habit many young moderns have of walking with

THE RIGHT DOSE OF ANTI.

THE RIGHT DOSE OF ANTI
 TOXIN Is A HEROTIC DOSE.
 I killed a woman, once, not with prem editation nor through negli- gence or mistake, but by accident, while was trying to save or pro- long her life. Through accident, again, I was probably responsible for the death of a beautiful child, whose life was trying to prolong. Never mind the technical details. Of course I regretted both acci- dents, but I never lost any sleep worrying about them.
 I saw a sweet little 4-year- old child sink down to death from poison while I withheld the anti dote I had in my hands and argued and pleaded with her ignorant par ents to permit me to administer the antidote. When, I realized that the parents were determined to let the child die rather than give her the antidote I insisted on having an- other doctor called in. The doctor who lived in the neighborhood was not at home, so we had to have Q doctor from an institution, a prison. He had never engaged in private practice and had never attended a sick child. His uncertainty and vacillation about the giving of the antidote--a few hours later the child succumbed. The poison was diphtheria, the antidote was anti toxin. I have lost many hours of sleep thinking about that case. wondering whether it was not my duty as a true physician to land one on the fahter's jaw and ad- I ~I..f< i.N I~t4 1xaf |, covered from his astonishment, or perhaps to summon q cop whose heart was in the right place and have him arrest the father on a charge of intent to murder or something like that.
 Dr B. E. Yodh reported 229 cases of tetanus (lockjaw) in the British Medical Journal year ago. Four antitoxin or anti-tetanus serum. At that, two of them, with very mild symptoms, recovered. The rest of the cases were divided into two groups. One group of 102 patients received from 30,0O0 to 10000 units of antitoxin intravenously and in- tramuscularly; 36 of those recov- cred and 66 died. Another group of 112 patients received the anti toxin directly into the "cistern,' that is, a space in the brain, the dose being injected through the junction of spine and base of skull 59 of these patients recovered and 53 died.
 Ordinarily the victim of tetanus has very slim chance to get well.
 People often have some vague impression that diphtheria anti
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-18

toxin is dangerous or poisonous in itself and hence that the less the patient gets the better. This is q tragic error. I am well aware that certain individuals who happen to be sensitized or Representative (allergic) react with unpleasant symptoms, occasionally with fatal allergic shock, when they receive even the smallest injection of anti toxin. Yet I know that this ex- ceptional sensitivity can be prede- termined by administering first only q drop of antitoxin and wait ing reasonable time, say half hour, to see whether there is any unpleasant reaction.
 In any case, if we are going to use antitoxin at all, the larger the dose the better, and if by any chance we happen to give more in the first dose than is needed to neutralize the toxin that has al- ready formed in the blood, that's a happy ending.
