SHE WOULDN'T SPEAK TO Him.
When a young Chicago man came down
stairs the other morning he remembered
that his wife, who was preparing break
fast, had not spoken to him when she got
up, and SD he cheerfully said: Good
morning, little lady"
Not a word came in reply.
"Good morning." said he, again, in 4
higher key, thinking that she might not
have heard him before.
"Um-'m-'m," WAS all that escaped
from her sealed lips, as she kept on with
the work.
"Why under the sun don't you answer
me |" he exclaimed in surprise; whats
the matter? What have done to offend
you?"
"Um-'m-'m," was still the only
sound elicted.
Look herc!" then exclaimed the hus
band. as he jumped up and Knocked over

MIR. L. b. COLLINS received an intereftino
letter from Hon, Martin Maginnis this week.
In speaking OF the new post on the Muscle
smell, he thinks that the matter rests entire
~ with Gems. Terry and Gibbon who are
decided upon the removal of Camp Baker.
But as the appropriations this year are rath-
er light, it is probable that nothing will be
done this season.
Forewamed is forearmed. The people of
Meagher county should take steps to BRING.
before these officers their true position. A
new post on the Muscleshell is eminentlv
necessary for the protection of a vast region
OF good grazing and agricultural lands, but
the removal of Camp Baker.i is certainly pre-
mature. We are satisfied that a thorough
knowledge OF its geographical location.
mountain ranges, passes, trails, etc. would
De convince any military man. that Camp
Baker is e%minently necessary for the protec-
ton OF the homes, families and property Of
the most populous settlements of the coun.
", and will continue to be so, even il there
was another post on tho Muscleshen.

Messsrs. Seth w.. Fowle 4 Sons:
Gentlemen-I feel it my duty to write a few
works in favor of "Dr. Wistar's BaIsam Of Wild
Cherry" In the early part of last winter l took
a severe cold, and shortly afterward a distressing
cough was added to It. My friends did everything
they could for me, but without avail. The best
physicians that could DO procured did not relieve
and my cough continued with me all through
the winter with increasing severity. l spit blood
three or four times a day, and my friends consid-
ering my case hopeless gave me up as n confirmed
consumptive. l was In this condition when I
heard Of " DR.. Wistar's Balsam Of Wild Cherry"
l began its use, and before l had taken half a
bottle Of it my cough and all my other troubles
left me, and l was cured. 1 feel so truly indebt-
ed to this remedy for what it has done for me
that l send you this voluntary testimony, hoping
II may be the means Of inducing others, who are
suffering as l was, to make use Of 1t. II is the
bost remedy for lung complaints that l ever heard
Of, and | am constantly recommending 1t to my
friends. Yours, with respect,
Mrs. MELISSA M. BALL.
