Kimball tSouth Dakota) Graphic: "It
it quite impossible for us to speak know
iHgly of the merits Of the various articles Of
mercha ndise advertised. But there are ex-
ceptions occasionally, and "a noteworthy
exception is the celebrated Chamberlain's +
Cough Remedy. This now universally
known medicine has been advertised in the
Graphic for four or five years, but not until
recently had we any personal knowledge Of
its wonderful efficacy, which has come
about through the prevailing influenza and
the stubborn cough that has often at
tended it. In the writer's family this med
icine has on several occasions this winter
cured cough that bailled any aud all
other remedies; and the number of families
in Kimball and vicinity in which this rem
edy has been used with like effect attests to
it's value as II specific for coughs and colds
of every nature. For sale by W. w. lie

Getting Up Early.

Demorest Monthly: Most OF the
talk about early rising is moonshine.
The habit of turning out of bed i'm he
middle of the night suits some people;
let them only enjoy it. But it is not
only a folly to lay down IA general
rule upon he subject. Some men are
tit for nothing all day after they have
risen early every morning. Their
energies are deadened. their magma
tions are heavy, their spirits are
depressed.
1t is said you can work so well in
the morning. Some people can. but
Others can work best at night, Others
again, IN the afternoon. Long trial
and experiment form the only con-
elusive tests upon these points. We
all knew the model man. aged eighty.
~ invariably rise at 81 work three
hours, take "A light breakfast, namely,
"a cracker and pinch OF salt-work
five hours more: never smoke, never
drink anything but barley water, eat
no dinner, and 90 to bed at q in the
evening"" Ii anybody finds that sort
of life will suit him, by all means let
him continue it. But few people would
care to live to eighty Oh these terms.
Ii "a man cannot get all withered
and crumbled up on easier conditions
than those, 1t is almost as well that
he should depart before he is "A nui-
sance to himself and bore to every
body else. School boys and young
people generally, ought to get up early,
for it is found that nine-tenf hs of them
can stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with
the thought that he could have been
twice as good man a. he is if he had
risen every morning ut daylight. The
habit would kill hall OF i,s in less than
five years.

~ few weeks ago, relates Mr.. 1.usk,
~ young Enslishman came out to
our country in quest OF some good in
vest ment. lie was at one of my
ranches for few days. One afternoon
rs he cowboys were about to round
up a bunch of COW ponies, the young
man said that he would enjoy good
ride in the saddle. lie said he was
used to riding only thoroughbreds
and he didn't think we had IA horse
good enough ior him. The boys con
vinced him that they had one of the
finest horses on the plains, and il he
knew how To ride he was welcome to
the animal. He was apparently in
suited when quest lone,l about his abil-
ity to ride, and answered that lac
could ride any kind of u horse. \
sleepy looking bronchO was brought
out from the corrals and saddled.
Though he appeared half dead he was
{ he worst bucker in he herd.
e. rs liicle-s. said the foreigner
when the pony WAS brought tn him.
The boys said he nag would wake up
after the first mile. AMI mIlord got
into The saddle. lie didn't linser long.
The first buck jump placed him on he
horse : neck. and after the second he
was in the atmosphere. lie turned II
double sumner>ault and landed ON
the sharp end of II cactns plant. When
he picked himself up one of the boys
asked what he thought of the thor
oughbred now. The question made
the Enslishman turn pale.
- Es II good 'oss. ne answered,
but he lopes too bloomin' 'ieh.'
"Nou couldn't blame the boys for
laughing. The Englishman didn't no
ice it, for he was too busy separating
himself from the sharp points oi the

X. MADE THE BREAD.


Written for the Boulder sentinel
In | SCI in Colorado Territory there
were many stampcdes from Denver to
the mining belts in the adjacent noun
tains. On most OF these occasions We
used saddle horses and pack animals.
On one occasion about the above
date. y. Beldler and Bill Roe left
Denver with u small pack train of
mules and "buros' or pack Jacks
loaded with provisions and miners
supplies for the southern Colorado
mines near Georgia guleh.
Soon after leaving Denver a man by
the name OF Ding Darling came to
them and said he was broke and had
no blankets, and would like to travel
with them and help them with the
train and about camp for his board.
To this y. and Bill agreed and he
joined them.
The first camp was n cosy one on
the banks OF the south Platte river.
The midday sun was warm, and after
unloading their animals and turning
them out to craze, they all took n
rest in the shade OF the evergreen
pines. After u while ething was
said about dinner, water, fire, bread
making, etc. Bill offered to build u
fire and bring the water ii y. would
make the bread. X objected, telling
Bill that he was the best bread maker.
They parleyed some moments over the
matter, when their attention was
called to their travelling companion

hung up and aired and put on in the

body. The union undergarments that ex-
tend from ankle to chin are dong good
work in this respect. compelling the nightly
exchange. Night gowns are heavy, warm

They do not enhance the beauty of a simple

however, that ut the last meeting of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers.

household utensils, in place OF timed cop

cussed. and The general verdict was that
aluminium was by far preferable for this

have no doubt that it Is only matter OF
short time when aluminium will be very ex-
