will understand the reason Everywhere
in California they are using oil on the
roads to the extent of 250 a mile for
sprinkling but once a yearand It makes
he most magnificent roads in the world
they are not using Standard oil how

trou knew how much oil will aid us in
ur fight

WILL YOU FORGET
Whan every grief and joy of earth 1
ended
And evermore for me Its sun has set
When past and future in eternitys to
day are blended
Will you forget
When present loneliness and pain are
over
And death has stilled all longing and
regret
Those happy dayspent with your hero
lover
Will you forget
i
My memory oh will you fondly treas
ure
Will grief for me a while your lashes
wet
And that my love poured out to you its
fullest measure
Will you forget
When changes other f riendsnew scenes
surround you
Whether with pleasure ease or toil
you fret
Those holy ties that once so strongly
sweetly bound you
Will you forget
Wherer I wander in the earth or hea
ven
Whatever Is and what shall happen
yet
Through all of life this blessed price
less boon to me is given
To not forget-
I know mine own that through the
vast forever
When years are merged in time thats
counted not
That love with which God linked our
souls shall weaken never
THE LOVE OF A CHILD
Knowledge of the child is as closely
connected with measures of education
and Instruction as is effect with Its
cause says Prof A Rothmund of Mu
nich university Whoever attempts to
guide and to educate a child should first
have knowledge of its body and soul
Such knowledge of the child of its sep
arate intellectual and bodily functions
is at present limited Why Because
we usually look upon the child through
sort of intellectual spectacles we are
eubject to prejudices and dispositions
In which the child appears to us larger
or smaller better or worse compared
with the actual standard and Is treat
ed accordingly The child is compelled
to guide itself after the adults and the
momenta In which we adults guide our
selves unprejudiced after the child are
rare The only persons whq sometimes
flo this are perhaps the mother and
the teacher And yet the smallest child
participates In an active and peculiar
manner In all the doings of Its sur
roundings and forms its own judgment
WTiat is this judgment
Of course not veryone is given to a
continuous observation which undei
certain circumstances should occupy
many hours The devoted mother ap
pears to be the only person that has all
the qualities for such observation Some
American women have materially ad
vanced the knowledge of the child by
roch studies Mrs Moor observed her
own child during a period of two years
tvith the utmost care and for her sci
entific work she earned the doctorate
flegree A M3ss Shian observed her niece
trom the day of its birth during the
Srst 500 days of its life
Statisticians employ mass observa
tions for separate traits from which an
tverage a maximum or minimum is es
tablished For Instance how frequently
t certain idea is met with In children
f the same age what is the most diffi
cult or easiest object of Instruction ac
cording to the pupils own views how
the disposition to save Is developed In
ehildren etc
In procuring material for such re
searches persons of many stations In
life may be utilized provided they have
the requisite interest in the cause but
teachers are of course first of all
called upon to work in this direction
For this reason the state teachers sem
inaries or normal schools in America
caake it incumbent upon the student to
gather and formulate all remembrances
pt his or her childhood These studies
ore supplemeatod by lessons from the
most important works on children then
follow systematic observations of chil
dren in a specific direction and finally
the comparison of the students own
pbseryatioes with those of experts of
loknowledg ed standing
Experiments and the vae of means
furnished by exact natural science are
the achievements of modern psychol
ogy and they also are of inestimable
value In the psychology of the child
The latter may just as well be used as
im object for test as an adult person so
much the more as ethical objections do
not exist in the majority of tests Pu
pils of any age may be instructed In the
nature of the tests to be made and of
their own participation in these tests
without overburdening or confusing the
childs mind In a larger sense the
entire school instruction every ques
tion every class work as well as every
bit of domestic work of the child Is an
experiment in a psychological direction
Put these experiments should be scien
tifically directed and the results of the
Observations should be better collected
and mora widely disseminated than Is
now the case
Contrary to the practice which pre
vails in many other countries the def
erence shown to women In Austria in
creases with age and the land Is well
considered an old ladies paradise No
Austrian would ever dream of receiv
ing a ladys extended Hand without
bowing to kiss It Children even when
grown always touch the hands of their
parents with their lips before venturing
to raise their faces for a kiss Girls
and young married women no mattei
how lofty their dignity do not considei
It beneath their dignity to kiss the hand
of ladies who have attained a certain
age The men are also extremely cour
teous not only to ladies but to each
other
INDIANS BATTLE WITH IVIL SPIRITS
J An Indian rite more spectacular than
the famous snake dance of the Mokia
but which is known to but few white
people in America Is that of the Jicar
tlla Apaches of New Mexico
It Is the Battle with Evil Spirits
which these Indians repeat every three
or five years It occurs only when a
new moon appears between the 20th
and 25th of September That these In
dians are able to make such a nice cal
culation in astronomy and dates speaks
well for their mathematical ability
September of this year the new moon
appeared on the 23d day of the month
The Indians had prepared for their
great dance or battle against the pow
ers of evil Mr C B Ward of Denver
Colo was a witness of the extraordi
nary scene
The celebration he says which
extended over a period of ten days or
rather nights began at sundown of the
first day of the new moon and contin
ued until sunrise the next morning It
was repeated In this order throughout
the period i
As the sun sinks behind the western
horizon the grand march of the cele
brants begins The men file in at the
west gate and the women at the east
each turning to the right and after
marching half way around the arena
halt facing one another in a semi-circle
then retire under the roofed por
tion of the enclosure around the sides
In the center of the arena is a small
pile of brush upon which a goodly
supply of grease and oil has been pour
ed and at this juncture in strides the
medicine woman in all the pride and
glory of her barbarous attire The Ji
carilla Apaches have no medicine man
as Is customary with other tribes Then
Btepping forward she applies an ignited
brand to the pile and as the fumes of
lacred incense are wafted upward to the
nostrils of the Great Spirit the men
and women give vent to their feelings
by chanting to the solemn and doleful
strains of tom toms
After the medicine woman retires 12
men step to the center where a larger
and fiercer fire has been kindled and
while the beat the tom toms the oth
ers in successive turns step forward
and forming a semi circle about 10
feet fro mthe fire go through their fan
tastic contortions A weird spectacle
they form these simple children of
the desert clothed in their gorgeous
blankets and other barbarous array
their straight black hair unbraided and j
anded with being a splendid animal un
ier the saddle
TACKLES THE BRONCHO
It was about last April that business
ailed me to Ishpeming this feminine
horse breaker went on to say and as
I was to be there several months I im
mediately looked around for a horse to
ride At the livery stable I was told
that there was not a thing in town but
3riving horses and I announced that
then I would have to break one I was
aughed at and told that I could never
lo it I saw Bobby the broncho
standing in a stall and told them if
they would put a side saddle on him
t would begin with him
Miss Challender showed the metal of
vhich she was made when told that the
livery stable did not own such a thing
Tn fact no saddle at all Although this
young woman does not believe In the
fair sex riding astride yet that day
she was so determined to enjoy a cen
ter along country roads that she would
have risked her own disapproval and
nied her skill upon a masculine saddle
I went out and borrowed one from
an utter stranger Miss Challender
gald and that broncho was brought
ut In the barn yard He bucked and
bucked when the girth was being tight
jned but I knew I was safe If he did
aot lay down I wore a long skirt and
beforevI attemptedto mount tilm I tried
5
ffM
flowing in all directions while theii
black beady eyes emit sharp flashes ol
fanatical enthusiasm
After a while 12 evil spirits entei
through the east gate and with grimac
ing faces and diabolical grins advance
while the dancers panic stricken and
fearful cease their dancing and rush
to cover It Is futile however for the
evil ones follow and submit their vic
tims to all sorts of punishments until
the braves in their fury and indigna
tion rise up in their might and grasp
ing their mighty war clubs drive their
tormentors out of the west gate About
100 women and men are then selected
to continue the performance until day
break vhile the rest retire
The grand finale occurs on Jhe night
of the 10th and the morning ol the 11th
day This night nobody sleeps but all
arrange themselves around the large
fire dancing and shouting all night to
the ceaseless beating of the tim toms
In the morning just at dawn they
rush out and place themselves in line
alon gthe banks -of a little stream that
empties into the lake the women on the
east and the men on the west bank
Then the medicine woman again
makes her appearance this time with
a large basket upon her arm the inside
of which is separated Into compart
ments each compartment containing
some unction of healing salve
If one complains of a headache she
dives down into one compartment and
bringing forth the necessary remedy
rubs some of it on the throbbing brow
Another complains of rheumatism or
possibly is suffering with a toothache
in fact every affliction known to Indian
kind has itrs remedy in that mysterious
basket and the obliging medicine wo
man applies it with solemn dignity and
fittng ceremony
This action is supposed to drive the
evil spirits in terror across the horizon
no more to return until the celebration
of the next medicine dance and leave
the Indian immune from every ill It is
a sight worth going a thousand miles
to witness

WOMAN WHO TAMES WILD HORSES
- --
By Catherine Leckie in the Chicago
American Horse breaking is one
Df the accomplishments of Rena Chal
lender and while this handsome young
woman can sell a case of goods run a
type setting machine or drive a horse
which trots In 220 there accomplish
ments are considered by her to be sim
ply commonplace
But her gift for controlling bronchos
and subduing vicious horses she ad
mits is perhaps unique Since last
spring this young1 woman has broken
five horses in the saddle Yet she talks
Df it as most young women do of rib
bons and chiffon In fact as though
leading a horse out and getting him
ased to a side saddle and a long skirt
was an every day affair with her
BREAKS A NAG TO RIDE
I had to break a horse last spring
m Ishpeming said Miss Challender
when talking of her unusual achieve
ment or else I would not have had
anything to ride and that I never could
stand I a mnever happy unless I am
near a horse and in that Northern
Michigan town they did not have any
broken for women to ride Indeed at
the time of my visit there none of the
horses weTe broken for the saddle The
result of my four months stay in that
town was that I had five horses that
could be ridden
The first one I tried was a broncho
contlaued Miss Challender and then she
added with a laugh and an Uglier
little beast it was never my pleasure to
meet A livery man by the name of
Hodgson owned him and he assured me
that I never would be able to manage
much less ride him with a skirt dan
gling at one side But I did and he
to make friends with the little brute 1
scratched his nose and fed him sugar
and though when I was mounted upon
his back he bucked and ran and threw
himself about he did not get me off
that time nor the times that followed
I rode him two hours a day for a cou
ple of weeks and a better little crea
ture under the saddle never lived
STIRS UP ISHPEMING BELLES
So well did Miss Challender do with
Bobby that she tried her luck and skill
upon other horses owned by the same
horseman By that time every girl In
Ishpeming wanted to ride and before
this gentle horse breaker left this Mich
igan town she had taught eleven of the
belles to ride and ride well too
I have ridden since I was seven
said Miss Challender and the way I
learned to ride was bareback My moth
er rode that way when she was a girl
and I first learned through riding at her
side If I didnt keep my seat she used
to touch me with her whip
I love horses that is the secret of
it was the explanation she gave for
her success in her unusual accomplish
ment I can make a horse do what I
want through kindness I never stnick
a horse or any animal in fact in blow
in my life And my own horse at my
home in Grand Rapids I love like a
friend He can do mile in 220 and I
think I love to drive him so much do
we understand each other almost as
much as I do to ride
But horses are not the only thing
this young woman is interested in She
is a newcomer to Chicago and hopes to
make her introduction publicly upon a
horse at the coming show But Miss
Challender is at present a business wo
man and has been for several years
In spite of this she is very young not
over twenty three and handsome into
the bargain

meeting was most affecting The situa

THOUGHTS MOLD FEATURE
The moldin of our features by wj
thoughts is a never ceasing proces
whether we are conscious of It or not
whether consciously controlled or not
If we persistently continue In on 11m
of thought for a given time the esp
cial features upon which this though
has acted have become accentuated ao
cordingly It is the thought behini
Bvery act behind every breath whld
vitalizes and finally shapes the line
ments of our faces and any attend
to frustrate thought In its effort to ex
press itself through our countenances
results in a confusion of expression ant
tn uncertainty which Is superior ti
and detracts from otherwise well form
d features
Nor may we Impose upon each othet
by mere muscular imitation of a fee
ing or a sympathy that Is not genuine
for our thoughts endeavoring to con
ceal themselves from our associates foi
some reason born of the moment oi
surroundings mean one thing and try
to make the features express another
perhaps a more polite thing In thU
way the intangible thought true at ita
birth but afraid to show Itself naked tc
the beholder for fear of loss of emolu
ment of praise it may be or friendship
jr favor attempts to dissemble and at
Mice loses Its force and mars the truth
r true action of eyes lips or brows
So it follows that the first rule to ba
observed by the seeker after physical
perfection Is that brief one Be true
as a tree is known by its fruit so Is a
mind known by its expression upon tha
race A pure trend of thought seen
through the free acting muscles of tho
physiognomy can and must reflect a
pure beauty It is simply a matter of
cause and effect
The most beautiful face is the perfect
ly happy one for happiness brings a
shining to the eyes a new curving ta
the lips a rounding of and an uplift
ing to the cheek In all the happier
uid loftier emotions the muscles leap
upward It seems a sacrilege to analyza
l smile and make it a mere matter o
muscular energy but perhaps if It I
looked at in another way seeing In all
the muscles of the face the ready hand
maids of the soul or thought we may
Hi once recognize the importance of th
relations existing between the servant
muscles and the master mind
If we made cheerful thoughts ou
constant companions the mask of each
Individual would grow to its fullest per
fection as surely as the rose petals un
fold their ruddy beauty to the loving
sun This may not be apparent
tng youth or early womanhood for tha
features are then only forming and ex
cept in cases of abnormally developed
tendencies are not cast into an unalter
able form But after one has reached
middle life has lost much of the
freshness of youth and must depend
mainly upon expression for her beauty
ind attractiveness then it is the lines
f the face that tell the stofy of her
ife They are beautiful if her thoughts
lave been exalted unattractive if they
lave been unworthy
All along the outposts of time has
2iis truth been cried out by the vari
us sentries Marcus Aurelius empha
jized it men of brawn and brain have
ichoed -it famous beauties have profit
id by it But the search for the besfc
n ourselves for the perfecting of our
aodies must not be made langulsh
ngly It must be carried on with wide
ipen eyes and minds by doing noble
leeds not dreaming all day long Ozf
need not look upon the doing of kind
things as a sacrifice or foolish self
repression for that is seeing it in a
false light In reality it is true self
protectfon and we ourselves are th
truest beneficiaries of our cultivate
good nature
Every smile given is like money pn
DUt at usury and rarely returns a- poor
Interest Every depressed thought ev
ery angry one every bitter one leave
a trail behind Jt as vile as the poison
ous footprints of the tarantula- If the
hive is disturbed by rash and foolish
bands instead of honey it win yield
us bees may vertainly be paraphrased
to read If the features are stirred into
action by bitter or harsh thoughts in
stead of beauty they will yield us usH

Boarding Turkeys
As a general thing turkeys raised In
the rural districts especially if ther
ire large woods for them to range in
ire very wild when brought home in th
fall to fatten for market and as It he
not always best to confine them in
building some means must be taken te
keep them from straying too far
Some clip one wing but that is ob
jectionable because so disfiguring be
sides unless you have a very high f enc
they will soon learn to jump over it
Some are confined by boarding them
ind that is a very good way all things
sonsidered To do this take a thlx
piece of board or scantling eight Inches
long and two or three inches wide
With a large gimlet bore a hole two
Inches from each end and one and one
balf inches toward the center from
these holes bore two more Then taA
a thick strong string and tie It on the
turkeys wings by passing the strinst
down through one hole in front of the
wing close to the body around nnder
the wing and up through the other hole
and tie on top of the board
Tie the other wing in the same way
Be careful not to tie too tight and
they can wear them two months with
out injury Not more than a dozen or
so of the largest or leaders need be so
fixed and the rest will not leave them
If fed and watered
