the troops in saving their property, sent
a sleeper to Butte and an invitation for

The sheriff, who had been frequent

the way the fort people had behaved
from the start in this robbery business.

USELESS pRucolNo.
The MIsapplication Of Medicine by Many
Patients.

| The MlsapplicatiOn Of Medicine by Many
| Patients.
II is fortunate that most people are
| in the enjoyment OF some natural abil-
ity to withstand disease, since they are
thus freed from much useless expert
menting with drugs.
Even when one is suffering from q
rather serious disorder, it will general
ly be found that attention to the nat
ural laws of health is more rational
mode of treatment than dosing.
Aside from the uselessness Of endeav-
oring to find something for every all
ment, however slight, the practice sets
up in the patient an appetite, as it
were, for various connections, and pre-
disposes him to the habit of being on
the watch for cure-alls.
Net that we should omit treatment of
serious illness, or cease our efforts to
provide what are recognized as specifics
for them. Prompt recognition of the
urgency of a case and careful attention
to the prescribed treatment have doubt
less saved many lives.
But to confound a case which is real.
ly deserving of sympathy and careful
treatment with enc whose only claim
to attention is tina. the patient is mis-
CRADLE" is highly inexcusable. To
give medicine to such a person may al
most be called crime, since, as we
have said, drugs are useless and posi-
lively harmful when they are not d. /
rected against specific disorder in an
intelligent manner.
A person who has long been suf-
ferer, or who has shown signs of being
"spleeny,' should be encouraged to do
without drugs as far as possible. He
should be led to look upon medicines
as in the main simply mixtures of poi
son, the use of which is to be avoided
except under the most urgent circum-
stances.
In this way the moral strength of the
patient is reinforced, and he is enabled
to get away from his own troubles, and
out Of himself, into more wholesome
and unselfish sphere.
But what is of far more Importance,
and more in line with the point which
is aimed at in this paper, is that large |
proportion of the troubles which so
weighed down the body of the sufferer
will be found to have taken flight

CHRIS H0FFMAN'S IDEA.
How His Irrigated Farm Looks Early in
August.

August
A writer on the Enterprise Journal
spent six hours walking over Chris Hoff-
mans irrigated farm near Enterprise
few days ago.
The farm is one immense garden. The
ground Is everywhere covered with plant
life. There are pumpkin vines thirty feet
long and cucumber vines nearly as large.
Huge beess eight inches in diameter pro-
trude from the ground, aud twelve pound
cabbages are not at all exceptional Red
and white onions have grown almost as
large as saucers and are ready for gath
ering. The finest tomatoes ever seen in
Kansas are just now beginning to ripen,
and every renter on the farm will have
bushels of the N.
The potato crops are the most extern
sive this year. There are many acres of
sweet potatoes planted and the prospects
were never better for an immense yield.
The Irish potato crop is ripe and a
large part of it is already dug and mar
keted. Ralph Hoffman has been digging
and shipping in carload lots TO Denver
the past week and has found q ready sale
at good prices there, for his potatoes are
earlier than the Colorado crop.
The tomato crop, will be heavy one,
but tomatoes are worth only two cents a
pound and the market dull.
