ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND FRIGHT
SMART OF BEARS"
On the deck of q big Mississippi steamboat
stood all aged Southern planter. Indicating by
a sweep of his arm the waters the boat was pas
sing over, he said to a passenger from the North,
"when was twelve years old l killed my first
bear on new plantation my father was then
cutting out Of forest that grew directly over
the waters OF this bend. That was q mighty
good plantation, and there was right smart of
bears there, too. But that 1000 acres of land
went into the Mississippi years ago."
1t Is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests Of youthful hope, wOmanly
beauty and manly strength are swept in the same
disease and death, Yet it should not be sO.-
That it is so is disgrace as well as q loss Pco-
PIE are largely too careless or too stupid to de-
fend their own interests-the most precious of
which is health. That gone, all IS gone. Dis
ease is simple, but to reckleSsness or ignorance
the simplest things might as we'll be complex as
ap OPPOSITION in Comic Sections. AS the huge
Western rivers, which so often flood the cities
along their shores, arise in few mountain
springs, so all our ailments can be traced to i'm
pure blood and a small group OF disOrdered Or
cams.
The most effec i've and inclusiye remedy for
disease is PARKER'S TONIC. 1t goes to the
sources of pain ana weakness. In response to
its action, the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart
begin their work afresh, and disease is driven
out. The Tonic is not, however, an intoXicant,
but cures desire for strong drink. Have you
dyspepsia. rheumatism, or troubles which have
refused to yield to other agents? Here is your
help.

The President. Last Sunday we were
surprised to come suddenly upon an
ocean steamer in this port. The bow
was ronclad painted black and had
every appearance Of an ocean steamer.
We soon observed, however, that the
steamer had been cut in two amidships
and the end boarded up. Entering 4
door in the rear, we found a comfort
able cabin, and the captain opened All
other door and gave us look down the
hold. Timbers, build and all were as
near like a vessel as anything On wheels
could be. The vessel is named the
:'President" and is one Of the big Bur-
lington snow plows. apparently 80 feet
long and 20 feet high.

Il GREAT DAIRY STATE.
TIE DCDE'LL DO.


The ADVANCE has made MANY good
hits in its day, but never one whic,,
'took'' so universally rs the Dude'll do
hit. 1t fastens to everybody and
the more they try to get it off,
''go|ly, it sticks the faster.'' A lady
writes from near st. Paul that she read
it Willie the dashboard was going in the
next room and from that moment no
effort could make that board stop say
ing, BLOOM the Dude, Bloom the
Dude, Bloom the Dude'Il no." AWor-
thIngtonian came in the other dav
from neighboring town and says ev-
erybody there asked him if he knew the
Dude'll DO.
An eastern subscriber, in a private
letter, says:
That Bloom the Dude'll do isn't bad.
Daily here the drums OF the political
''bums" remind me of it, and it has
caused me to make "rammed inn
rhyme with 'Camden." Whitman lives
there, you know, and most of his is
worse than this ''Dloom the Dude'll
do" poem.
So the word comes from all quarters.
Nobody can ever hear drum again
without thinking of it and laughing
The fact is, we have made the Dnde
notorious at one jump and his ''fame''
will stick to him like {. tick to a dead
sheep.
