Still, there are times in case of straight-away river paddling, or open walking, or lengthened waiting when the net is a great comfort. And it is easily included in the pack. Next in order come the various "dopes." And they are various. From the stickiest, blackest pastes to the silkiest, suavest oils they range, through the grades of essence, salve, and cream.
The orchestra struck up an air and the little girls sang the following ditty: "Teas and soaps, Pills and dopes, We all must advertise. Copper cents, Not common sense. Are the things we prize. We confess Such a dress Isn't quite becoming, But we suppose Hopkins knows This keeps business humming."
"'You know my profession? says Mrs. Markham. "'No, Ma'am, says I. "'I'm a religious teacher, in a way, says she. 'A medium if you care to call it that. I prefer another name. "'A medium! says I. 'My! I was to a medium last week! "Perhaps you don't see why I done that. 'T was to give her an opening. First move, when you're fakin' on a big scale, is to make dopes out of your servants.
This dark room developin' seance work is bosh to stall the dopes along. Still, Mrs. Markham has always played a lone hand. She's never mixed with other mediums, which is why I'll be safe in goin' into her house she won't recognize me. Probably she's kept some fool notions that the rest of us lost long ago. But the poor little puss!" her voice sank to a ripple "the poor little puss!"
She lugs her religion right through the week, holidays and all, and spreads it around even. I got it straight from Zenobia that Martha's even begun ringin' me into her goodnight prayers, along with the cook and the President. Also Martha has started in on what she calls my moral trainin', which she dopes out as havin' been neglected somethin' shameful.
In any case mix some mud into a paste and plaster it on the parts that have been stung. If you are in camp and have with you a can of antiphlogistine use that instead of the mud; it is at least more sightly and is equally efficient in reducing inflammation. Various things have been devised as protection against insect torments. One is a veil of net to be worn over the hat. =Dopes=

He may undergo a useless operation for appendicitis, but he will not swill down dirty dopes. His office is high-toned and esthetic.
"Six foot three," Bill said, "and strong as an ox. Drinks all the time. Think he dopes, too." Sanford looked at the fellow with a swift dislike for his vacant, heavy face and his greasy, saffron hair. His bare arms were tattooed boldly and in many colors, distorted with ropes of muscle. He seemed a little drunk, and the green clouds cast a copper shade into his lashless eyes.
There's some o' the toughest guys in little Manhattan Village at O'Rourke's dump t'night, keepin' th' ring an' fair achin' for trouble." "We must dodge 'em, Spider." "S'pose we can't?" "Then we must trust our luck, and I've got a hunch we shall get Spike away somehow before Mr. Flowers dopes him or makes him drunk; anyway we'll try. The dressing rooms are behind the annex, aren't they?"
There's the baby dopes; and the G-U cures that keep the disease going when right treatment could cure it; and the methylene blue " "Stop it! Stop it!" cried Hal. "I've heard enough."
