ST.. JACOBS OIL cures Rh heumatism; of
this am convinced. For two years
suffered with rheumatism In my left
shoulder and right arm, and last fall
asincapable of ofattending to my duties,
and lay many a night unable to sleep
ON account of terrible pains. A few
weeks ago asevere attack ofthis trouble
struck me, and this time / concluded
to try the ST. JACOBS OIL, / must ac-
knowledge, with but little confidence
In its merits. freely confess that the
result has completely astonisbed me.
The first application relieved the pain
very materially, and the continued use
Of only two, bottles has completely
cured me Of this chronic evil, and that,
after the most eminent physicians and
their prescriptions had been of no
avail. therefore consider il duty
to publish the above for the benefit of
oil sufferers with Rheumatism and
complaints.

IT can almost be asserted that ST.
JACOBS OIL works wonders. Shortly
before the New Year, when visited
my family I'm Mitchell, I found my
son Edward, lad little more than ten
years old, very sick. He suffered with
Rheumatism, and so terribly that he
was perfectly stiff In his limbs, could
not possibly walk, and had to be car
ried from place to place.. At once
sent for some ST.. JACOBS Orr, used 1t
according to directions, and In few
days could see evidence of considerable
Improvement. On the tenth of this
month l again visited my family and
was astonished to find him well and
hearty. He once more has fresh color
i'm his face and can go to school again.
Whenever the old trouble threatens to-
return, relief is Immediately secured
by the use Of the celebrated ST. JACOBS
OIL. From sheer joy over this result I
cannot help recommending ST.. JACOBS
OIL to suffering humanity as a true
benefactor.

THE WHITE FLowERs STORY.

A sweet pure flower, white as the snow without.
grew and blsssomsd in the scented air.
And dreamed full many dream of life and love.
! heard young lovers whispering all about,
And thought that soon l. too. should have my
share.
The sunshine wooed me gazing from above.
Twas then opened out my perfect flower.
Until the whole place owned its wondrous power.
With soft cad ewes. 1 watched nv lady come,
And as she drew me toward her heavinR breast
deemed my time drew nigh to ses the world,
That world Of which heard the vsiceless hum
Go on fore'er. with curious vague unrest;
And wider yet my pure white leaves unfurieo.
My lady wears me at the ball tonight;
Ionce shall see . scene Of rare delight!'
With shaking hand my Lady cut the stem,
And pressed me to her lips. and IN her eyes
saw the large tears slowly gathering there;
Yet did not fall. She did not notice them.
And looked through mist beyond the pale blue
A Il she saw mystic vision fair.
MY lady gives me-" said /, whispering low, =.
TO him to whom her sweet heart longs to 60. !"
Slowly she carried me with tagging feet
Lay something white and wonderful and grand,
Upon the lips lingering smile. so sweet
knew that was with. the blessed dead,
Whose work was done. who could no longer
stand
With weary eyes, watching the daylight die
Too swift away across the winter sky.
My lady placed me on tn indicating heart,
BY the crossed hands. AMI sighed with bitter
And yet rnethought she enyied me my place.
She TUNED away then. - If forced apart.
Her lips just breathed her lover name again;
Yet came no sign upon that silent face:
Twas then knew it sll-desth il life's best.

forces, or have dulled them into weari-
ness and repose. To mention renowned
American authors only, we find that
Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes and Tick
nor have filed Professors chairs for
many long years; that Bryant, Whittier,
Howells, Curtis, Warner. Bret Harte,
Aldrich and Bayard Taylor have done
great share of their best writing in Fours
after their routine newspaper work had
been performed; and that Hawthorne,
Irving, Motley, Hildreth, Marsh and
Bancroft have fulfilled onerous obliga-
tions in posts of public service. Not q
few of our American writers also have
filed clerkships, as did Charles Lamb,
or engaged in banking, as did Samuel
Rogers, or even conducted mercantile
establishment, as does William Morris.
The rule bears wholly in one direction,
and the exception is rarely to be found.
The nearest approach to an exception of
the sort, among our chief writers, is to
be found in the case of Prescott; but
Prescott, though removed from the me-
cessity of money-making, was also re-
moved from its possibility by physical
malady which surely was as exacting as
any ordinary drudgery, and as likely to
impair or destroy good work by man
less resolutely determined to overcome
all obstacles. Another American his
torian, Parkman, has also, like Prescott,
been obliged to work despite a serious
affection Of the eyes, which, in his case,
prevents his writing more than five min
utes at a time.
Thus it is. not only in literature, but
in every department of good and help
full work, that those succeed who,
though busy with humdrum tolls, or
otherwise hindered, make success by
taking what little time they have for
higher labors, instead of refusing to
take it because it is little. Better is an
hour well spent than twenty-four hours
occupied in idleness, or, what is little
better. in grumbling over our enforced
occupations. And no one is SO busy
that he is obliged really to waste his odd
moments. simply because he thinks he
is wasting his even ones. just as air
cannot be all oxygen, or house all win
dows, or day all sunrise, or plant all
flower, so life cannot be devoid of a
large proportion of elements which
seem neither bright nor beautiful. but
which are essential to the excellence
or rather to the very existence-of its
highest achievements--S. s. Times.

On the Nebraska Ranges.

1t is estimated that the Tiff estate now
owns about SO, 900 head of cattle of all
ages. 1t includes eight ranches, the
principal one being one hundred and
sixty miles IN length by sixty miles in
width: They are situated between the
Union Pacific Railroad and the South
Platte River, and reach westward to the
foot hills, including portions of Colorado,
Wyoming, and Nebraska. Within the
past two years there have been added
to the herd by purchase, 1900 cattle
from Texas, while the calves branded
within that time number about 5000
head. Within the same period rs,
have been marketed for beef, and II, 600
will be marketed this year. The value
of the estate is estimated at 81 SOC, 900.
The drive of cattle from Texas will be
heavier this year than ever before, and
has been estimated at 800, 900, of which
Nebraska will get large percentage.
Many of the stOckmen OF Western Ne
braska are now making preparations to
add largely to their herds of Texas cat
tie. Ogallala is the natural terminus of
the Texas cattle trail, and viii be the
objective point this year. OF the cattle
coming to that immediate vicinity, the
Sidney Telegraph mentions the follow
ing: Pennsylvania Stock Company, 81
600 head; Jones Bros, $500 head; James
Reed, Texas, 5000 head; John Dawson,
Texas, 5000 head; Andrews Bros,
Texas. $500 head; j. w. Camel, Rum
ming Water, Neb., 5000 head; d. r.
FAINT, Texas and Nebraska, 5000 head.
Millett, Mabry, and many other we'll
known stockmen, will also bring cattle
up on the trail for disposal in that Vi
cinity. Not only Cheyenne County, but
nearly all of Sioux County is now being
used for grazing purposes, and our cat
tlemen are even converting portions OF
Dakota into stock ranges.-Omaha Her.

Brain Work and Bad Habits.

Bad habits, impure air, unhealthful
food, neglect of exercise, the use of to-
bacco and whisky, have killed thousands
of students, where hard study has killed
one. More people die, think, from
want of sufficient FRAMEWORK than from
too much of it. When schoolgirls die
from tight corsets, heavy skirts, heating
chignons and other unnatural infections,
it is very kind in gentlemen to say,
+" Killed by hard study" but women
know better. Some years since l had a
hired girl who suffered almost constantly
from headache, but she wore continually
a heavy chignon, supported by wire
pins in her hair. Her headache was not
caused by hard study. This same girl
often spent forty minutes at night put
ting up her hair, and as many minutes
in the morning taking 1t down again.
But the worst of it all was that after all
her care, she was sick, and consequent
ly ugly. Young ladies can't safely study
during school hours and then spend the
hours allotted to exercise and recreation
in the exhausting labor of altering old
dresses into the latest fashion, or even
in embroidery or stitching ruffles. They
can scarcely afford an hour a day for
the crimping and frizzing of their hair.
1t is rather a curious study to notice
how women, in all times and countries,
have been bent on changing themselves
from what God made them. In some
countries they blacken the teeth, and
bandage the feet; in others they fiatten
the heads and paint the face; while in
others they powder the face, friz the
hair and variously deform the form
divine. Now, if all this was necessary
to make woman beautiful, it would be
labor and care well spent. for every
woman should make herself attractive,
if possible. But. is it not true that the
highest beauty, as well as art, is to be
naturalp We're not our grandmothers

the present generation of girls areP
