A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man of
Burlington, o., states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be con-
sumption and ineurable. He was per-
suaded TO try DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption. Coughs and
Colds and at that time was not able to
walk across the street without resting.
He found, before Ae had used half of
a dolla. bottle, that ne was much bet
ter; he continued TO use it and is to-
day enjoying good health. If you
have any Throat, Lung or Chest troub
lie try it. We guarantee satisfaction.

RECIPROCITY.

While many free traders affect to
believe that the plan of reciprocity
advocated by Secretary Blaine and en-
bodied in the Mckinley tariff bill is a
practical confession by the Republi-
can party that the Democratic party
occupies tenable ground upon the tar
if question, it is a fact patent to all
that the Republican majority in Con-
gress has remained true to the princi-
pie of protection. and at the same
time advanced the interests of the
American manufacturer and producer
by securing the free entry in South
American ports of many articles pro-
duced here and thus increasing the
export trade of this country. The al
most universal demand that sugar be
placed upon the free list afforded Mr..
Blaine an excellent opportunity to
press effectively his idea of recipro-
city without in the slightest degree at
lacking the principle Of protection to

The pending issue between the two
great parties in this State ELECTS few
singular facts. The principle laid
down In the Bennett law was as cordi-
ally endorsed by the Democrats as by
the Republicans until the Democratic
politicians commenced to skirmish
around for an tissue" They found
one, and it is one which will prove
veritable boomerang. A number of
the candidates on the Democratic
State ticket were as solid as Gov.
Hoard himself upon the Bennett law
and principle laid down by it, until
that law was adopted by their party
bosses as an ''issue," and they "fop.
ped" for nominations which they Sc
cured, but the ''honor" they attained
will prove barren of results.

SHE WAS POISONED

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it blues"

here to rent. keep hoping that by work

Der of acres that work." said the man,
pointing across the road to where a neat
little frame house stood, shaded by tall
maple and cottonwood trees. HE is max

forts for his family besides He is all the
time making improvements. He has a

duke.

taxes to pay, though they are not half as
high as Jones's are. Lord Sanders is rich

lands, and then we cannot even have a de-

anc picking up stray ours. The chalk
hills back of Santa Paula have always
afforded safe retreats for these beasts,
being very rough aud broken and full
OF small caves. irving Foulks was up
there lately and came back without
any cougar peits. But he brought
back some stories about the number OF
mountain lions prowling through the
chalk hills that made old hunters wag
their heads and insinuate that he was
getting early into the habit OF spinning
yarns, a habit that was to be tolerated
only in men OF years and experience
Foulks said that he saw so many lions
ihat he was afraid to fire at them,
whereupon old Jake Cries snorted con-
Itemptuously, and asked to be piloted
to place where varmints were thick
enough to scare him.
Fouiks and the old man went up
there and for once in his life Jake saw
''vaunints" enough to satisfy him.
They got into the ruggedest part of the
hills and sat down to watch for game.
Presently lioness appeared less than
a hundred yards away, and Jake shot
her through the body. OF course she
yelled as soon as she was hit, and be-
fore the echoes of the rihe-shot had
time to get back across the canyon old
Jake Cries was sorry he had fired.
Lions started into view so suddenly
and plentifully that it seemed as
though there must have been a lion
lying behind every rock on the hill
side. Jake threw another cartridge
into the barrel Of his rife, and raised
the piece to take aim, but put it down
again slowly and remarked that he
would be everlastingly condemned.
Then he suggested to Foulks that it
was no use for man to be a chump,
and that perhaps they had better go
home if the lions would let 'em.
They retreated cautiously, and man
aged to get out of the hills without be-
ing attacked. Jake declares that he
counted thirteen mountain lions in that
crowd of "varminIs," and nobody
doubts his word.

Young Mon AVA business.

One great cause of the failure
of young men in business is lack of'con-
.centration. They are prone TO seek
outside investments. The cause of
many surprising failure lies in so do
ing. Every dollar of capital and
credit, every business thought, should
be concentrated in the one business
upon which a man has embarked, He
should never scatter his shot. 1t is
poor business which will not yield bet
ter returns for increased capital than
any outside investment. No man or
set of men or corporation can manage
business mans capital as we'll as he
can manage it himself. The rule do
not put all your eggs in one basket
does not apply to a mans life-work.
Put all your eggs in one basket, and
then watch that basket, is the true
doctrine-the most valuable rule of
all. While business OF all kinds has
gone, and is still going rapidly, into
a few vast concerns, it is nevertheless
demonstrated every dayithat genuine
ability, interested in the profits. is not
only valuable but indispensable to
their successful operation. Through
corporations whose shares are sold
daily upon the market; through part
nerships that find 1t necessary TO inter-
est their ablgst workers; )through mer-
chants who c&n manage theirvast enter
prises successfully only by interesting
exceptional ability; in every quarter
of the business world, avenues greater
in number, wider in extent, easier of
access than ever before existed, stand
open to the sober, frugal, energetic,
and able mechanic, to the scientifically
educated youth, to the Office boy, and
to the clerl-avenues through which
they can reap greater successes than
were ever before within the reach of
these classes in the history of the
world. When, therefore, the young
man, in any position or in any BUSH
ness, explains and complains that he
has not opportunity to prove his abil-
ity and to rise to partnership, the old
answer suffices:
The fault dear Brutus, is not,in our stars,
J But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
