Talking Of patent medicines-you know the
old prejudice. And the dOctOrs-sOms of them
are between you aud as. They would like you
to think that what's cured thousands won't
cure you. You'd believe in patent medicines
if they didn't profess to cure suerything-and
so, between the experiments Of doctors. and
the experiments Of patent medicines that are
sold only because there's money in the stuff -
you lose faith in everything.
And you can't always tell the prescription
that cures by what you read in the papers. So,
perhaps, there's no better way to sell a remedy,
than to tell the truth about it, aud take the
risk Of its doing just what il Processes to do.

American women do not know the

A GOOD PLACE TO VISIT.
Come When You Wish, and Stay rs Long
as You Please.

Australian station hospitality keeps
the latch string always out and says:
"Come when you wish, do what you
like, and stay as long as you call" A
writer in the Manchester Times says
that the Australian host places himself,
his family, and all that is his at the SER
vice of the guest-fshing-ta tackle, breech-
leaders, horses and servants. Such
hospitality is rarely abused, though the
writer mentions one exceptional case,
where the guest prolonged his visit UNI
til it wore out his welcome.
To one station came visitor, whose
original intention of staying a month
was reconsidered, and be remained
two. Six months passed, and he was
still there. He enjoyed himself hugely
with horses, dogs, and guns, developed
an encouraging appetite, and his host
did not complain. After about nine
months, the hosts manner became less
warm, and at the end of the year he
spoke no more to his guest. The latter
was not sensitive, but fingered on for
the space of second year. when he de-
parted and went to visit somebody else.
During these two years he was never
told that he had stayed long enough
and would do we'll to go away.

Foreman of Ca tie Ranch Shot Down
from Ambush.


The rustlers are evidently determine ed
to beat the big cattle men in this sec
ton, says Buffalo, Wyoming, dispatch,
declaring they must either abandon
their property or employ as foreman
only those who bear their Endorsement.
George Wellman, foreman OF the III. A.
Blair cattle company, better known as the
Hoe outfit, was shot by concealed as
sassin and instantly killed on the main
road and about thirty miles south Of
here. The only known reason for the
crime is that he has been notified to
leave the country and has refused to
obey the order.
The first news Of the tragedy was
brought in by Tom Hathaway, an enc
ploye Of the same company. He says
he and Wellman started for Buffalo on
horseback. When about twelve miles
out and passing through a rough, broken
country a shot was fired and his horse
sprang ahead and ran away with him.
While trying TO subdue the frightened
animal he heard several ether shots,
and, glancing back, saw his companion
fall from his saddle. He started back
along the road and met Wellman's horse,
which he mounted. He saw Wellman
lying in the road motionless, but was
afraid he would share the same fate IL
he approached nearer, so he came in
and gave the alarm.
There are probably one hundred peo-
pie in this county, business men and
others, who have b en- warned to leave,
and doubtless others will be killed UNI
