Samuel Reader was one of the best known citizens of Shawnee county. He came to Kansas when he was 18 years of age and, with his sister and his aunt, settled on a claim near Indlan-ola, a lively hamlet at that time.

Having strong anti-slavery convictions, he 'was soon enrolled In the ranks of the Free State forces and was elected sergeant of a company known as the Indianola guards. Daring the troublesome times that followed, he was an active participant. He met old John Brown near the Nebraska-Kansas line, and later Joined his forces. Mr. Reader was "under fire" for the first time at the battle of Hickory Point, Douglas county, which was fought in 1856.

During the civil war, he served in the Second regiment of the Kansas State militia, under command of Col. George W. Veale, and participated in the Battle of the Blue, on October 22, 1864. He was captured during this fight and was suspected of being a federal spy. He made his escape three days later, ho wever, and in due time arrived at his home In Shawnee county, having walked the entire distance.

When about 11 years old, Mr. Reader read the reports of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and he then concluded to keep a diary of his own experiences. He commenced a Journal In 1847, which has been continued up to the present time. This journal comprises fourteen volumes, one of which was lost in a fire which destroyed his MISS PENWELL TO TEACH.

Taka Tnrla- Car Ra4ater Because of Its peculiar power of absorption, also because it serves every emollient purpose, ordinary mercolized Jwax is perhaps the most valuable complexion beautifler discovered within recent years. If one uses this she needs no toilet cream. Some use powder afterwards, but th's is not necessary. This rule for applying mercolized wax has been found very satisfactory: Wash the face with warm water, drying lightly. Before thoroughly dry, anoint face and neck with the 'wax, but don't rub it in.

The favorite way is to use before retiring, allowing it to remain on all night and washing It off in the morning with warm water. All druggists have this wax in original one-ounce packages. For tjie removal of a wrinkled or flabby condition there's nothing better than to bathe the face in a solution made by dissolving 1 ounce powdered saxollte in pint witch hazel. Beneficial results ar quickly noticeable. Advertisement.
