THE SOD-HOUSE GOING.

"Reminiscences OF Early DAYS In Kansas
and Nebraska.
"The sod-house of the Kansas and
Nebraska plains is following the buff
falo and antelope into the land of
legends" said a resident of Topeka
recently TO n group of acquaintances
at the Arlington. "A good many of
the queer structures are still standing.
and in some instances are yet used as
human habitation, but most of them
are utilized as stables for horses or
cattle, and are slowly crumbling away
to become indistinguishable in their
original earth. When | first went
west years ago my father took up the
acres as far as his eye could reach i'm
what is now eastern Nebraska. There
was not n tree in sight of the knoll he
had selected as the spot upon
which his residence should be
erected and the nearest place lumber
could be secured was sixty miles away.
He put up a small tent in which to
cook and eat; the family slept IN the
wagons, and, with my brothers and
hired help. set about making a house.
THE thick sod was cut from the
prairie in slabs about two feet wide by
three in length, and on the side of u
knoll, where an excavation had been
made in its side. these slabs were
placed one on top of the other until the
required height was reached. 1t was
arduous work, and l remember what a
lot of excitement there was when my
father and my brother Leon started off
early one morning to go after the
ridge-pole and rafters that were to sup
port the roof. They tool only the
running gear of our small wagon, and
l cried like a good fellow when they
started off, because l thought they had
broken up my pct vehicle.
They we're gone nearly a week. and
reached home in the middle of one
night. after Their journey of one hun
dred and twenty miles. They had
brought a long, round piece of timber.
like n slender telegraph pole. with
numerous other small pieces, and
mother nearly, had a fit of de-
light when they proudly displayed n
door and two window-sashes, with a
bundle of glass {or the latter. There
was great rejoicing when the ridge
pole was put in place and the ~rafters
run down from it to rest on the sod
walls, and then came the laborious
task of putting on the sod roof, so hat
it would keep out the rain and snow.
"At last it was completed and we
moved in. The house had four rooms,
which was unusual for such structures,
and its two windows soon made it
known all over that section of the west
as the shack with the Glass Eye
There never was u more comfortable
building erected than "a sod house.

The moment anyone feels that he has taken cold, one of these world-renowned PLAsTERs should be put on the back between the shoul- der blades, and another on the chest.
 These will serve two purposes. They will protect the delicate lungs and will also relieve the congestion occasioned by the cold.
