Eisa Vernor was going into a brand new life and was curious and excited. She and her sister were orphans, and for five years Eisa had been living with her uncle and aunt, the Mow brays. This home life was pleasant enough, but exceedingly dull. When the word came from Myrtle, who had been married anU gone west with her husband five years previous, and Myrtle thought she needed Eisa, the latter hailed the prospect as a deliv erance from a sort of social and in tellectual bondage. Myrtle Weston held ont no glowing picture to her sister. Very plainly she indicated that she and her neigh bors were pioneer sojourners in a species of wilderness. "All I have," she wrote, "Is a small house and eighty acres, just at the edge of an Indian reservation, and a few town lots in a settlement that has exactly twenty three residents to date. Since my husband died It has been hard work." Elsn had written at once to her sister, expressing the intensest de light at the prospect ahead. Her dreams were all of grand mountain ranges and beautiful valleys, where people lived on horseback, and lovely flowers and heartsome men and wom en existed. Myrtle had seot her some money, and had instructed Eisa to select what she thought would be most useful from some old household traps which had been stored in the home of her uncle since the death of their mother. Myrtle wrote that she lacked considerable in the way of household utilities. Eisa consumed a week sort ing out what could be most useful of the great mass of furniture, cook ing utensils and general knicknaclcs, and when she finally set forth on the one long journey of her life, had the shipment reduced to her little trunk and four largo packing cases. They were directed to Deep Gulch, from what Myrtle wrote the nearest railroad town, ten miles over the mountain from Wycherley, near which the little farm was located. Myrtle wrote that she would have some one meet her sister at the station and iu imagination Eisa built np a pleasing vision of a stalwart, handsome young frontiersman mounted on a superb steed, leading a second one, and con veying her over the hills, a real prac tical Lochinvar. This dream came true. When just such a border hero met her and in troduced himself as I'oyd Wardell, lOlsa liked liirn from the start. His welcome, he expressed if. was that of all the gulch, friendly, heartsome peo ple who cherished gladly a new neigh bor. Besides, there was an organ in the one meeting house of the place, and Myrtle had told about her sister's musical accomplishments. By the time IOIsa was placed safely in the arms of Myrtle by the new comer sire felt that she had come across a man she could like very much. War dell was the sheriff of district, everybody's friend, and became n reg ular visitor at the little home where IOIsa had settled down into the groove of her new life. It was arranged that Eisa should take charge of a little towt-ship school with the coming of autumn. In the meantime Boyd Wardell was her de voted chevalier. There were long rides on horseback, even to the top of Old Eagle, a lofty knoll full of ice caves and snowy peaked nearly all the year. Awaiting her school duties, Eisa set about making friends among the neighbors. At the edge of the settle ment was an Indian family. Its head, who was known as "Some Day Chief," was in disgrace with his tribe, 200 miles to the west, worked a little silver claim and lived on the hope of final restoration to his old kingly po sition. His little daughter, whom he idolized, fell ill, his wife was dead, and, apprised of the situation, Eisa undertook to nurse the fevered, ailing little one. A queer incident grew out of this. The little sufferer faded away, day by day, longing for delicacies the rough mountain isolation could not provide. One day in going over the domestic utensils she had brought from the East, Eisa came across an ice creain freezer. There were those about her who had never seen such a device. Boyd Wardell offered to ride up to the summit of Old Eagle and bring back ice. An admiring crowd of neigh bors stood around watching the op eration of converting cream and eggs into a royal luxury. Eisa took a bowl of the same to little Wachita. She seemed to have happened upon the one thing that assuaged the burning thirst of the little one. Wachita brightened up marvelously, in a week was better, in a month fully conya lescent, and when Some Day Chief was called back to his tribe he grate fully made over to Eisa the little mine he had worked. Who could Eisa consult as to her landed acquisition but young War den, and who could have been gladder to serve the dainty, cheersome new coiner at Deep Gulch? And he became "Boyd," instead of "Mr. Wardell," and she became "Eisa," instead of "Miss Verner," so that It was not strange, that one evening a few months later the proud, happy, young frontiersman observed: "And at the wedding, Eisa, don't forget to arrange for some of tlmt famoua ice cream of yotirsl" Publi Pub of Commission Commission Board OF No. Bill NUMBER Bill Bill Senate Senate Against For 1 C-• jrter No. 6327 t.

HAS NEW TDEA IN SCULPTURE j.-.'iT:.- .iJJ Tennessee Girl Uses Dried Apples to Fashion Her Models of the Hu man Form Divine. Down in Knoxvllle, Tenn., lives Miss Isabel Million, who has created a new and distinct art. To be brief, she has developed dried apple sculpture with remarkable results. For years Miss Million has been In terested in the various types of moun taineers who come down 'to her fa ther's store to trade. Having artistic ability, she tried a good many times to model their quaint and weather beaten faces by the conventional meth ods of sculpture, but the results did not satisfy her. One evening, while cutting apples to dry them for the fu ture. she picked up a piece of par tially dried apple and noted its strik ing resemblance to the wrinkled face of the usual elderly mountaineers, whom she was endeavoring to por tray. Taking up a sharp knife, she did a little cutting so as to fashion the wrinkled apple into a human face. The outcome was most successful: she saw possibilities in this newly discovered art and she set to work experiment, ing in dried apple sculpture. Little by little she became quite expert In making dolls whose heads are simply dried apples, cleverly cut before they are dried. Miss Million has found a satisfac tory preservative with which she var nishes the dried apple heads when they have reached the desired state of dry ness. The costumes and accessories are carefully copied from life in deed, Miss Million always has some particular person in mind when she evolves a little doll with a dried ap ple face.—Scientific American.

"Money couldn't buy the good Tan lac has done me, and I gladly recom mend it for what it has done_ in my case," said Hon. Archie R. Anderson, of Houston, Ex-Sheriff of Harris Coun ty, Texas, recently. Mr. Anderson is unquestionably, not only one of the best known but one of the most popular men that ever held Public office, in the "Lone Star State." After serving as Deputy Sheriff of Harris County for twelve years, Mr. Anderson was elected Cheif of Police of the City of Houston. He had occupied this office only a short time when the sheriff of Harris county died. Mr. Anderson's friends persuad ed him to make the race for the un expired term of Sheriff to which he was easily elected. He was honored with re-election 7 times and served the people in this important office for fifteen consecutive years. Four years ago, Mr. Anderson declined re-election and retired to private life. He cast his lot among the people of Houston and is a large property owner and foremost citizen of this interesting prosperous city. "I was in a run-down condition," continued Mr. Anderson, "and had no appetite at all I could hardly sleep at night and never felt like getting up in the mornings, I was so tired. I had ths worst form of indigestion, suffer ing all the time from gas on my stom ach and was continualy belching UP undigested food. I had to take my coffee without sugar, as when I drank it with sugar I would just belch for hours. I would blot and swell up like I was poisoned and suffered with neuralgic pains of the worst sort, and nothing seemed to help me only in a temporary way. I just can't tell you how I did suffer for the past four years Mr. Anderson was elected Chief lac, a few weeks ago. "When I read the testimonials of ome who had been relieved of troubles like mine I just felt like I couldn't -.ake a mistake by taking Tanlac, and it has done me even more good than I had expected. I began to feel bet ter after taking my first bottle and have just now started on niy third and I'm a different man already. I sleep like a log now and eat just anything and everything I want Without the slightest discomfort afterwards. I am glad to endorse Tanlac because it does the work and I'm teling all my friends just what I'm teling you. I never felt better in my life than I do since tak ing Tanlac.
