A city boy might wonder that he took pains to hide himself from the road and to disguise the traces of his camp, tut to Joe it was as natural as It Is to the towu-brod lad to hick his bedroom door nt a ftrange hotel.

Notiody wou d ever think of hunt ing through the freight fur the money. The freighter himself hasn't n Idea of what he Is carrying. They have been doing this for a long time and have never had any trouble, but the b ss can't help fe ling a little anxious, so he always chases the boy off down the road to make sure where the money train is." Joe's first Impulse had been to shout a greeting, but lis the words reached him he realized In a flash what they meant. The inysiery of his monthly mission that had so puzzled him was a mystery no longer. "I don't see why we should have a bit of trouble," said Lauipsoli. "I'll Just tell (Jonxnleas that the company la In a hurry for the blankets for some pt-osjiectlng parties, and has sent mo with the bnckb.iard to fetch them on ahead of lil ui. He knows me from see ing uie lu the ollice, nnd will probably not ask a question." "But," askisl one of the others, "sup pose the boy has told hint you were thrown out?" ''If I can't convince him that the boy lied, we will have to make a 'gun play.' Now quit talking. We'd bitter all get some sleep." ' ' :" Soon there was silence, broken only by the regular breathing of the three men. So cauti'MJ-dy-lhat ty euB-M-niiT'uV' leaf betrayed him, Joe ra'sed bis head and peTed through the iiiishes. lie saw three tueu lying a-hi-p, me liuek tmard standing at the side- of the road, a tid the horses unhitched hi:A picketed i Ilia lirst thought.

Now the word of Liunp son hluiw-lf oc('rurred lu him. "Nol o ly Is suppowl to know the money . is thi-re but the agent at liidshurg and tlie superintendent." It was tlie company's secret, and Joe dared . nut betiay' it even to the frelght-r. . At hist a sparkle fur ahead showed him the embers of a .-dying, camp-tire, and soon he was near enough to make out the big prairie schooners. He had found Conzalez" outlit. , ..

Many , patients are quite under the impression j that it is for their children's welfare that they tdiouid contract hie young such diseases as measles, whooping tough and chicken kix. or glassiKix, and they- will even go so far as to ex sise tliem to infection, so as to. as they express it. "get it over and done with." r As a matter of fact there is no rea son or necessity why any child should suffer from any one of these diseases. Happy is the family that escapes them, for then there is t cham-c of the young sters, growing up healthy men and wo men iiml useful members of society. . .Most uiToiioopsi ideas prevail as t,t the effect of those complaints of ehild hood. I have often heard 11 sit id. "Oh, it's on measles;" or chicken pox. a the ease may ls iiite oblivious to af ter effects. Any one who would take the trouble to read health statistics would soon Is- convinced that measles especially is not to be trifled with. And yet 'medical men as a rule rind a reck less disregard for isolation, ,and in ninny cases not even the precaution cf calling in the family, doctor, the result befog naturally that the disease spreads. at ils.nwu sweet will and often wprks havoc. , In the treatment of this complaint, iig.iiii. delusions nud erroneous ideas cxisf, among a large number of thit community. Tradition, so it appears t me, is more prevalent' with regard t measles than almost any other chil dren'sMisense. A remedy that has been hf.nded down from 'mot hot- to daughter for I don't know hW inmy genernt'ioiis is saffron. Now, what effect saffron has upon tliiK"pa!tieular fever no doctor knows. Certainly there is no peculiar element' it! its eoniposil ion that, nn, s il a necessity. When one remembers that saffron is merely a 'dye principal ly used commercially' in tint role and that it possesses no medicinal value, one fulls to liiideis'.aufl why it is ft universally usul. The only thing to lie said in its favor is that, While being useless, it is linrniloss. A favorite"- ail'ditiou.' to ,..saffroii, is brandy; but, as saffron is harmless, brandy., on the, other hand, especially with baliies and young children, is poa.: itively injurious, and should never be given except utidenTnodicnl advice. Children are always thirsty in their feverish ailments. Yet how seldom lhe mother thinks of giving her child water to drink, 'it is nearly always milk another,. popular delusion. Milk is aa excellent food, but it dot's not quench thirst; in fact, it increases it. Give tle child cold boiled" water and it will become quiet and less fretful. A very popular error is that spirits .keep the cold out. As n matter of fact i'.'.'.v do just the op;tfisi(e.
