7 he Great West.

The words Great West have a sig
nificance not fully realized by many
people. As u whole the West is thought
of as an immense spread of country,
but to get any idea of the size, to have
any comprehension of what the Great
West really means in miles or acres,
one must take single state and COM
pare its area with others.
A short time ago, this topic of con-
versation was brought up. and one
gentleman, who evidently was posted,
made statement that California had a
larger number of square miles than all
the regular Eastern States put together.
He was loudly laughed at by his COM
paniOnS, who were so incredulous that
bet of an elegant supper was made,
the whole party betting against the one
man. 1t did not take him long to win
the bet; he showed that Maine has So
600 square miles; New Hampshire, o.
$50; Vermont, 10,2l2; Massachusetts,
1880; Rhode Island, 1906; Connecti-
cut, ALSO; New York, 47,000; New
Jersey, $500; Delaware, 2,120, Penn
sylvania, $4,000 This makes total
of only 171,7SS square miles, whereas
the area of California is 1888, 9S1 square
miles, leaving II, 1913 miles still in favor
of the one western state. Where such
large single states are to be found
there is no wonder the whole body in
conjunction should be denominated as
the Great Vest

The Lost Atlantis.

/
For many centuries there has been a
tradition OF a long lost island called
Atlantis.
The Greek geographers located it in
the Atlantic Ocean, west of the north
west part of Africa and the Pillars OF
Hercules. The searkings OF Atlantis
are said to have invaded Europe and
Africa, and to have been defeated by
the Athenians.
All the legends agree that it was q
vast island, OF inexhaustible resources,
and inhabited by race OF superior
people. For ages this island has ex-
listed only in legendary lore. But now
when the light of modern research is
turned full upon the investigation, be-
hold the lost Atlantis at our very
doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity
goes cropping about in the dark, seek
ing for an Atlantis or Esculapius, when
if they would investigate, they would
behold the lost Atlantis at their very
door. With their ancient text book, a
case OF physic, "a paper in their waist
coct giving them license to practice,
experiment and dose with their injuri-
Gus drugs, cauterize and perform un-
necessary acts, with no person or laws
to hold them accountable, they contin-
lie their bigoted, unjustified practice,
staring into vacancy, and imagining
that they see in themselves an Escula-
plus.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they
are crying out against all improve
ments that have been made in medical
science. They denounce any new idea
advanced by a layman or an opposition
school as a fraud.
Why?
Because humanity will not be bene-
flied? Not at all, but because their
special ism did not make tho discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no
remedy known to their materiam edica
that will cure an advanced kidney
maledy and the diseases arising there
from-although many of them know
from browning proof that Warmers
Safe Cure will-but unscrupulously'
treat symptoms and call them a dis
ease, when in reality they know they
are but symptoms.
A few of the more honest physicians
admit that Warmers Safe Cure is a
valuable remedy, and great blessing
to mankind, but say, in so many words,j
when asked why they do not prescribe
it, that they cannot, according to their:
code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast be-
coming satisfied that the cure for kid.
ney and liver diseases, in whatever
form or condition, has been discovered,
and there is no doubt but what War
ner's Safe Cure and its fame will live
long after such bigotry as we have in
stanced is dead and buried.
The late eminentphysician and writer,
DR.. j. G. Holland, published in Serb
ner's Monthly" and showed his opin-
ion of such bigotry, and no doubt was
satisfied that Atlantis might possibly
be discovered in a proprietary medicine,
when he wrote editorially, as follows:
Nevertheless, it is fact that many
ofthe best proprietary medicines of the
day were more successful than
many of the physicians, and most of
them, it should be remembered, were
first discovered or used in actual medi-
cal practice. When, however, any
shrewd person, knowing their virtue,
and foreseeing their popularity, secures
and advertises them, then, in the opin-
ion of the bigoted, all virtue went out
of them

He Could Beat the Devil.

Rev. r. r. Harrison of Richmond,
Va, tells very interesting anecdote
of Paul Morphy, the famous chess gen.
ius. Most of those who were present
when the incident occurred have now
passed away, but Mr.. Harrison names
several who are still living and can
corroborate him in his statement. 1t
was in the autumn season of 1861, and
Morphy was on his way to the confed-
crate army then near Manassas. under
command of Generals johnson and
Beauregard, it being understood that
he was either volunteer or COM
missioned aid of General Beauregard
at that time. Rev. Harrison was then
living in Richmond, and invited Nor
ply around to spend the evening with
a number of other distinguished guests
at his residence. Morphy accepted
the invitation and after supper, while
they were assembled in the parlors, at
tentiOn was called to colored engrav-
Ing entitled "Jen dEchecs," which
was hanging in the room. 1t repre-
sented Satan, in style and dress after
the German ideal of Mephistopheles,
engaged in a game of chess with a
young man. The board was on the
fiat side of tomb, and the Guardian
Angel of the youth was represented
looking down with deep sadness and
interest upon the position of the pieces
on the board. The young mans pieces
represented the manly virtues, and
many of them had already been captur-
ed. Satan's pieces represented the
tempting vices. The position of the
pieces as shown in the engraving was
one that had often been studied with
care by the Richmond players, and the
young's mans game was regarded as
hopeless. The position was set up in
Morphy's presence, and he asked If he
had the position correctly. After care
full comparison of the position on the
board and in the engraving, he was
answered in the affirmative. Morphy
then remarked, in his quiet but always
dignified manner, that he believed
he could take the young mans position
and win the game. All those who knew
anything about chess expressed sur
prise, but Morphy indicated his belief
in short time. He took the young
mans game and played against each
gentleman in succession and won. The
devil had no chance against the genius
of Paul Morphy.

BUILDOZTNG BOOMERS,
Ee Oklahoma Invaders Preparing to 80.
PIeNh of Trouble,

E,e Oklahoma Invaders Preparing to So
Plenty of Trouble.
st. Louis dispatch: The latest infor-
nation in regard to the movements OF
the Oklahoma boomers is to the effect
that Harry Hill, in an interview yester-
day, said he had formulated his plan of
action. The boomers are to be massed
at Caldwell and Hunnewell, Kas. These
he will lead in person, while company
from the west will be in command of
Col. Cole, and the people from the
south will be under q competent leader.
He says in thirty days he can cross the
line with larger force than Payne ever
had. If pursued, he says he will cut
every wire fence in the Cherokee strip
and burn the grass to the Chickasaw
line. He will go to Purcell Monday.
Col. Croker writes to Col. Hill that
1000 people in the Chickasaw nation
are wild and that he cannot restrain
them. The soldiers have increased
along the Kansas line, and nobody can
enter the territory without a permit
from the Cherokee Strip cattle COM
pany.
Capt. Couch writes from Purcell that
something must be done as the people
there will not keep quiet. Every day
wagon trains of from five to twenty
wagons pass through that city headef
for the boundary line.

ceived from all he encountered.
BY this time he had reached his own
smithy. 1t really did give him q
peculiar feeling when he recognized
the-precise image OF what he had been
that morning, hammering sturdily
away in the Jorge, and singing, mean
while, snatch of song.
$50 that's Squire Norcross, thought
he. 81 wonder how he likes being
Tim the Blacksmith? Mebbe he does
not know that any change has taken
place"
He ordered the carriage TO stop, on
some triaing pretense, and watched the
smith at work. He could not but envy
the strength which lifted the ponderous
hammer, compared with his own pow
erless arm. just then his youngest
child, Ruth, came bounding into the
smithy, and addressed the man at
work as Father" A sense of pain
filled his heart, for Ruth was his favor
lite child, and the thought that she had
transferred her childish love TO another,
was not pleasant. He could not help
calling from the carriage, "Come here,
my child"
go to the gentleman" said his
double, from the shop.
Ruth advanced, hesitating, with her
finger bashfully placed in her mouth.
Don't you know me?" he asked.
Yes" said Ruth, timidly.
"Who am -"
You're Squire Norcross."
won't you kiss me?"
The child drew back, and seemed
about to run away. Evidently she did
not wish to do so, and the real fathers
heart was filed with sol row which he
did not seek to analyze. He only knew
that it was painful.
Drive on" said he hastily.
That same night a couple of thieves
broke into the squire's house, and, in
spite OF Tins struggles, which awaited
little, for he had inherited the squire's
febleness, carried OF box of money
which was kept under his bed, Be-
sides this, they beat the defender of the
treasure in such II manuer that he was
compelled to keep his bed for the next
two days. Left to the care of servants,
he missed his wife's gentle administra-
ton not a little.
In brief, before the week was out, he
was heartily sick Of his bargain, and,
as directed, was not slow in pronounce
ing the words which were to dissolve
the spell.
Presto! Change
Tim found himself lying on bank
by the roadside, where he had stretched
himself for few minutes, and little
reflection convinced him that this was
all a dream. But it proved a useful
dream, and convinced Tim once for
all, that it takes something besides
wealth to bring contentment, and that
Providence is not altogether so partial
as we imagine. Yankee Blade.
