HOW TO DO, ~.

If you want TO InJure your town and
kill 1t as dead as a door nail, just start
right in and talk down its enterprises,
ruE down the men who are endeavOr-
ing to do something; abuse every
thing that is not according to your
particular view of how it should be
done; discourage every man who is
manufacturing the least thing in your
community and refuse his goods; just
let your property and sidewalks 60 I'M
improved and tell people it is good
enough for the interest you have in the
town; buy all you can on credit,
from every business man you can, and
let your account run indefinitely, and
then curse and abuse your creditor
when he wants the principal, to say
nothing of the interest on his goods
for which ne pays cash, and the obi
cations he has shown you; take up
with every thing andsend your money
OIL to strangers in preference to t1ad
ing with people you know; refuse to
take or advertise IN your town papers,
but spend your money with journals
that have no more interest in you than
the amount they can get out Of you,
and then abuse your town for not
having bigger and better papers; use
your influence and money in building
up other towns instead of the one in
which you have habtatIon; find faul,
with something in churches, and be
rate this thing or that thing in your
schools, and the efforts of your people
Just jump right in and pull apart al
who are trying TO pull together; just
withhold your patronage, sympathy
and cheer from your own people and
keep your business men and their en-
terprlses down 10 the lowest possible
notch, and volume of business, by
placing your kind words and patronage
somewhere else on every fancied wrong
you can hunt up and pick up.
Just keep up these things, and il

Dyspepsia

The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead OF the elements of strength ano
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digest ion, is the
true remedy for all nervous trou bles.

NO "WlLLlE'S" GAME.
Golf Requires Endurance and Any Novice
VIII Tell You SO.

Golf Requires Endurance and Any Novice
VIII Tell You SO.
The idea of golf that is prevalent
among most devotecs Of football, base
ball and other rougher sports is that
the game is n cross between tiddle-de
vinks and croquet-a sort of gloriiied
"nigger baby" with the most amusing
feature of ''nigger baby" left out. There
is one old football man in this city who
doesn't think so now, although he did
once.
The gentleman in question is an old
Harvard football man. He is great
admirer of the maulier athletic games
and he held up his nose al golf, as a man
naturally would who thought it game
for women and "Willies," but not for
men. Recently while on visit to New
York friend persuaded him to visit the
Morristown golf links and finally to
take a stick in the game.
Here is what the football man told
a reporter of his adventures:
MY friend introduced me to the men
who were to be my opponents. All of
them had on golf suits and most Of
them had single eyeglasses in theil
eyes. | knew that they were Willics'
the minute set my eyes on them, and
was mighty cool in consequence, be
cause | don't like NVillies.' The game
was explained to me as consisting in
batting a ball into Il couple Of dozen
small holes with the least number ct
strokes possible. ! made the first hole
all right with no more strokes thar
most Of the men playing, and looked
around for the next. 1t was farther of
than the first, and the fourth and fifth
were still farther apart. | began t.
grow tired, and by the time that the
sixth hole was reached | was putting
and blowing like a porpoise, looked
for my companions, and they were
strolling after Their balls apparently as
fresh as when they started. followed
1t was necessary 10 set my teeth and use
all my determination to keep up with
them, but d;d, and finally completed
the first round.
"No one knows how many strokes
lll-'--c' IDHS4utIdDly lIOIc llldH ndft
ever been made on those Inks before,
at any rate. All that | could do was to
sink down on rock completely cX-
hausted and endeavor to get my wind.
While l was still there wheeling like 4
rusty pump one of the 'Willies. whom
| didn't despise any more-I was too
tired to despise anyone-Strolled up TO
me with pronounced English accent
that would have caused a riot on the
Strand and said:
~ say, old chappy, we're goin' ovah
the blasted links again. Wouldn't you
like to come along"
81 told him that | had an important
business engagement that would pre-
vent me, much as | would like to dc
so, and | dragged my weary legs off
those links. And if anyone tells you
that golf is n willie game just lcf,r
him TO ne, because know that it isn't"

From the Tombstone Prospector.

Z rom the lOAAD@LpDt IIDrpectbf.
During the past winter the prospector
has done good work 10 Arizona, New
Mexico AID southern California, and as
result there have been more reports
OF the discovery of valuable mines and
the opening up Of new discoveries III
that part of the country during the past
three or four months than there has
been for several years before. What is
best about it all, says the Mining and
Scientific Press is the fact that capital
lists or representatives. OF capital have
paid attention to these reports and fol-
lowed them up, and as result a great
deal Of development work is being done
and the prospector's labors will not go
IN vain SO much as they have in the past
decade and a half. during which the
mining industry has been in the dumps
and men of means have sought other
sources for investment For many years
back the prospector's reports have not
been noticed-eVen when he has made
valuable discoveries. he has been
neglected, looked upon as about played

capital Now this is all changed. Cap
