She was a blond wltl) hair of a rare gold, deep-blue eyes, and her mouth wus said to be one of the most beautiful ever owned by a Washington belle. Her beauty was &o noticeable that at the dawn of womanhood, when she accompunled her uncle, then America's representa tive In England, to Oxford, where lie was to receive tho degrco of doctor of civil laws, that the student body greeted her appearance with terrific cheerH, Inspired entirely by the smile of her lovely llp'ri as she turned her llowerllkc fuce toward them. Not' only wns sho beautiful In line and curve, but In addition she was u picture of perfect health, an ath lete of no mean order, ns many n young gallant discovered after she had ) challenged him to a nice and beaten him so badly that spectators of the race unmercifully- chaffed him.

In spite of. tills she was not unwom anly1, und excelled us n harpist, wrote poetry, und, as the young people of the capital reported, "danced like a feather." . Look Out Upon the Desert Coine to the eastern side of the peak and look out once more upon the des ert.)vhlle yet there Is time.

You are ubove It und enn see over Its crests In any di rection. The vast sweep of the Mo Juve Ilea to the north; the Colo rude with Its old sea-bed lies to the south. Far uwuy to the oust you can see the faint forms of the Arl zonu mountains melting nnd mingling with the sky; and In between lie (he long pink rifts of the desert val leys uud the lilac tracery of the des ert runees.

NOTICE TO DAIRY The Dairy Law of Nebraska requires that all cows from which any milk or ciieam is sold -for consumption shall be tested at least once each year by an approved veterinarian. The only exceptions to this are in cases where milk or cream is delivered to a dairy where the product is properly pasteurized before it is tfold to the public, or where the entire product of the herd is sold for manufacturing purposes. Cow owners are urged to' have this testing done during the months of January and February for the reason that more time is available, and when a number of cows are assembled at one "time and place, reduced rates for testing will be made. The law provides this testing shall be done by an approved veterinarian, and you should make arangements with your local veteri narians to have this work done. Arrangements should be made to have this testing done within the time specified, as the dairy inspector will check all cow owners who are- required to test. Attention is called to the fact that the Dairy Law pro vides a penalty for failure to comply with the above provisions. Department f Agriculture liy HAK11Y 3LVKSHALL, Dairy Inspector. E. F.
