JLL in front of Court House (It) A Curious Contest in Florida Which Bruin was Killed. New York Press. Curious and unequal combats sometimes take place when beast of prey attack creatures out of their own element The pursuer in such a case is likely to run more risk than the pursued This was il lustrated in a novel encounter in a harbor of Florida. The crew of a New England school er, while ashore, heard a strange rumpus and.pushing round a turn in the beach, they saw a huge log gerhead turtle in deadly battle with a big black bear. From their opsition it seemed that The bear had sprung upon the tur tle as it was retreating toward the water and had tried to overturn it. In some way it had stepped in front of the turtle, which, thrustin-g its head out, had quickly siezed one of bruin's hind legs and held it. At this the bear roared loudly, pawed furiously at the turtle's back and tried to force it over on its back. The turtle resisted with all its strength and weight. He settled down close to the ground whenever the bear made an extra effort, and then, as the bear relaxed its ef fort, he would suddenly start up and endeavor to get nearer the water keeping his firm hold on the bear'a leg all the while. Finally, by a sudden push and a powerful muscular effort of his head and paws, bruin managed to get the turtle half upset, one side being raised a foot or so. Pursuing his advantage, he steized one of the turtle's1 big flippers in his jaws, and the snap that followed showed that bruin felt things were coming his way. He continued to chew the flipper and endeavor to overthrow the tur tle. But his antagonist worked a xound and finally got in a stroke with its sharp claw that badly rip ped the bear' underside. This infu riated bruin so much that he let go his grip on his antagonist's flip per, and, reaching his head down, tried to reach and free his hind leg. But he committed a frightful error, and the enraged loggerhead quickly improved his opportunity. As bruin's nose came within reach the turtle let go the leg.and quick as a . flash,, fastened his iron grip upon the bear's jaw. The bear was taken by surprise, and roared luslt ily with paia and rage. The turtle pushed . on, and dragged his unwill ing captive along. The bear saw his danger and felt it, too, for they were so near the water's edge I that the waves splashed over them. The bear kept up the struggle fero ciously, but his strength soon began to fail, for the turtle dragged him deeper and deeper. Fighting with his head half the time under water so exhausted the bear that present ly he stopped to rest. That moment was fatal. The old loggerhead mar ched off into the sea with his ene my, and the last seen of bruin was the feeble kicking of his hind legs Next day his body was washed a shore, cut into a dozen pieces. "Dixie" the National Air. New York Press A woman recently back from for eign parts has a grievance against the way in which military bands ther play American airs. To begin with, says this woman, two thirds of the bands and orchestras of Europe think "Dixie" is the national air, and this mistake is not difficult to comprehend, as applause generally greets this tune. Next in populari ty comes "'Columbia, Gem of the Ocean,' and btrange to say, then comes "Old Dan Tucker." No amount of exostulation avails to change this notion- ' "'The Star Spangled Banner" is reserved for solemn occasions, and it must be confessed Americans are not widely enthusiastic over it. Not one in a thousand remembers three lines of the verses, not even the school children who shout them day after day. "Maryland" is popular, but the tune is that of the old Presby terian, hymn, "Beulah Land," and may be heard wherever Scotch and EDglish folks gather. Seed 1,000 Years Old Grows. Denver Times. Long black ears of corni, grown in La Platta County, from kernels 1,000 or more years old, found in cliff dwellings, will form an impos ing exhibit from Colorado at the American Land and Irritation Ex position, New York City, next month. The corn grown from this; ancient seed is of an especially fine flavor, quite unlikei any modern corn known It has high nutritive valuesi and is believed to have been the chief means of subsistence of the delicho cephalic or narrow-headed people who inhabited this territory long ago- They dwelt in great community houses three or four stories high, built on the brinks of canyons and containing as many at 1,400 rooms. The' corn was preserved in sealed jars found in the deserted homes. Valuable Land for Sale Two miles from Creedmoor, good dwelling good out houses, well im proved, plenty of good water, fine tobacco farm, 12 5 acres more or less For further particulars aply to S. L. Moss, Creedmoor N. C. The Shark Sucking Fisft A shark sucking fish about a foot and a half long turned up in Wash ington market and almost stopped busniesl, for venders had to take looks and guesses and bets on the queer ,savage-looking catch of the sea. Not " a son of Billingsgate of them all knew what the fish was or its true name. The true name of this hark sucker is "sucking fish," of the species Echeneis, gen us Remora. The front f int on the back is converted into a large sucking disk on the top of the fish's head; with this it adheres firmly to sharks, letting go at will Any fish that can work its rear con tinuation so as to catch its cow catcher and hold on over the liver of a shark and live on that shark's liver is wihtout parallel or example outside of hte hungry depths of howling seas. Sucking fishes have a kind of tiny teeth no only on the jaws, but' on the palate and in ex ceptional cases even onj the tdngue They spend much time fastened to the under surface of ships and tur tles as well as under sharks. They have no air bladder, and, strange to say, their back, like the belly of other fishes, is light colored, while their belly, like the back of other fishes, is darker colored. SI OP THAT DANDRUFF before it kills your hair. You know dandruff is a germ disease and it leads slowly and surely to baldness and there Is; only one way to cure dandruff and that is to kill the germ that causes the trouble.

Never use a comb or 'brush belonging to some one else No matter how cleanly the owner may be, these articles may be in fected with microbes, which will in fect your scalp- It is far easier to catch "hair microbes than it is to get rid of them, and a single stroke of an infected comb or brush may well lead to baldness. Never try on anybody else's hat. Many a hat band is a resting place for microbes If you hppen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or baldneais,we have a remedy which we believe will completely relieve these troubles. We are 'so sure of this that we offer it to you with the understanding that it will cost you nothing for the trial if it does not produce the results we claim. This remedy is called Rex all "93" Hair Tonic. We honestly believe it to be the most scientif ic remedy for scalp and hair trou bles, and we know of nothing else that equals it for effectiveness, be cause of the results it has proauc ed in thousands of cases-j Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to banish dandruff, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease, and mate the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It does this because it stimulates the hair follicles, destroys the germ matter, and brings; about a free, healthy circulation of blood, which nourishes the hair roots, causing them to tighten and grow new hair. We want everybody who has any trouble with hair or scalp to know that we think that Rexal "93" Hair Tonic is the best hair tonic and restorative in existerice.and no one should scoff at or doubt this statement until they have' put our claims to a fair test, with the under standing that they pay us nothing for the remedy if it does not give tull and. complete satisfaction in every particular.
