How to Treat a wife.

From Pacific Health journal.
First, get a wife; second, be pa
tient. You may have great trials
:lnd perplexities in your bus
mess, but do not, there
fore, carry to your home IA cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may have
trials. which, though less in magnitude.
may. be hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds of
gloom.-To this we would add always
keep a bottle Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the house. 1t is the best
and is sure to be needed, sooner or
luter. Your wife will then know that
you really care for her and wish to
protect her health. For sale by X. d.

'e OF Jintown were converted to silver by q erncs Of speeches and cubaone
arguments, all Of which are faithfully reported. The book is illustrated with a
dozen or nor outline cuts, afer the oder OF "Coin," and closes with what is
.aned "fhe Bimetalists Creed" 1t will probably become very popular as a free
liver text book--LnNe Rock Pres.
"Ietters From Jntown" is a new book just out, published by Charles II.

west, it will far surpsss any Of its pre-
decessors. Its financial success is as-
sured by guaranty fund, and with this
to rely upon the managers have gone
ahead with boldness and confidence to
gather the most complete exhibit of
everything entering into the life and
prosperity of this region ever brought to-
gether. Many alterations are being made
in the interior arrangements of the huge
structure in which the Fair is held, es-
pecially in providing greater facilities for
the enjoyment OF visitors. Frequent ex-
cursions at extremely low rates of fare
will be run on all railroads, and special
rates will be given at other times on all
lines In Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Both in the variety and quality of the
exhibits and in its special attractions the
Fair will be far superior to any of its
predecessors.

lie thought it was come acquaintance
who was in for some fun; but at the
crack OF the pistol it looked different
Gates struck the robber with the pouch
aud knocked his hat off Another shot
was hrei, when the station agsnts vile
appeared on the scene and the robber
disappeared in the darkness, without
having accomplished his purpose. The
mail pouch was undoubtedly what he
was after. Gates came to Athena and
aroused James Stamper, who went down
but no trace Of the hishwayman cnnld be
found. His hat was closely examined
and revealed numerous drawings on the
outside, together with eeveral nance,
among which was "John Evans" Z"
