BEND BENEATH THE BLAST.
Cent Pass. Agent, Denver, Colo.

When sorrows tempests round us roar
And overwhslm the soul,
Oh, trust thou not in worldly pride
Or seek the tempting bowl,
But with firm and trusting heart
Bend low beneath the blast,
And he above who chasteneth thee
Will raise thee when It's past
The lofty oak, the mountain pine,
So stately in their pride,
Must bend or break before the storms
That on the night winds ride,
While the meek willow lowly stoops
Before the raging blast
And lifts its head in beauty decked
When storms and clouds are past
So thou, oh, man, must lowly bend
When sorrows round thee pressl
They may be angels i'll disguise
To lead to happiness.
Oh, trust to him who rules above
And bend beneath the blast,
And he will raise thy dropping soul
When storms of life are past!

A Syndicate TO Purchase Kl0ndike
Claims

Late sdvices from London confirm
rumors that have heretofore reached this
side of the Atlantic that financially
powerful syndicate is in process of for
nation in England, France and Germany
to buy all of the paying claims of miners
in the Klondike region. OF course this
will lead to a vast am niount of speculative
valuation, but there is a claim in the
Klondike, as elsewhere, which it is i'm.
possible to underestimate, and that is the
claim of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to
the foremost place among American
remedies for liver complaint. The bill
ous and constipated derive prompt re-
lief from this genial Alternative, which
remedies nausea, yellowness of the skin
and eyeballs, fur upon the tongue, and
unpleasant odor of the breath that char
aoterize biliousness. Ii also remedies
and prevents malarial and rheumatic all
ments, kidney trouble, lack of stamina,
dyspepsia and nervousness. Like all
standard remedies that have established
themselves in popular favor, it deserves a
fair and persistent trial.
