thrive in pretty poor and dirty homes
and are happy while they become
rich. They make good citizens.
In this town of Boonville, called as
most towns in the West are, city,
there are a large number of blacks,
while the German population makes
two thirds of the rest of the people.
It can be well understood that it is
not place of remarkable thrift; du
ring the last twelve years it has not
grown, but there have been some
improvements along some lines.
Most of the buildings are one story
high, without chamber-rooms. There
is some little manufacturing done
here, mostly in. the line of pottery,
though the factories are not running
now. The climate must average
warm here; the winter has been call
ed cold, but it has been just cold
enough to permit the fall of damp
snow, which melts almost at once,
mixing with yellow and terribly
sticky clay, which makes travelling
almost impossible, and foot travelling
most disagreeable. Some of the peo-
pie here, who have managed to get
little surplus money have sent it far
Their west with the prospect of get
ting high rates of interest. Their ex-
perience has been like that of people
of the East-it has gone where neith-
er principal or interest will ever
trouble them more. 1t looks as if
some Of it might have beeh invested
here to advantage. When I see what
to me looks like fine opportunities
for improvement, progress and
wealth in places here, I can only
wish that there was something of
Eastern pluck, energy and enter
prise to help push things along. we
propose to leave here soon for Mime
sofa, from which we may drop anoth
er letter.

a pa rty of gentlemen were discuss

A pa rty of gentlemen were discuss
ing the political aspirations of some
of their friends, when one of the m
begged the privilege of tellinga story.
"There was a certain king once,
who had philosopher upon whose
judgement he greatly depended. One
day the king and his mobiles wanted
to go hunting and, summoning the
philosopher, the king asked him if it
would rain. The wise man said it
would not, and SO they started out.
Before they had proceeded very far
they met countryman, riding DON
key, and he advised them to return
as it was certainly going to rain. The
wise man said it would not, and so
they proceeded. They had har dly
gone another mile before a heavy
shower came up and they were thor
oughly drenched.
AS soon as they reached the palace
again, the king sent for the country4
man. How did you know it would
rain? MY donkey told me- was the
reply. And how, pray, could he do
that?
by prciking up his ears, your ma
jesty.'
Thereupon the king purchased the
donkey and placed him in the Office
of the philosopher. And there is
where the king made mistake"
Chow SOP" inquired his listeners.
because since then every donkey
wants an office."..

Truly,
HI. P. KING.

When person is losing flesh and wasting
away there is for alarm. Nothing so
worries physician. Consumptives would
never die if they could regain their usual
weight. In fact there would be no consump-
tion if there was no wasting of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a failure to
properly digest the food eaten. Nine -tenths
of all our diseases date back to some derange
ment of the stomach. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial will stop this wasting of the body. 1t
acts by causing the food we eat to be digested
to do good, for undigested food does
more harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and is digester of
foods as well.
Every mother hates to make her children
take castor oil. Laxol is sweet castor oil.

Previous to the late November biz
zard cattle men of Montana were con-
graduating themselves that their
herds were in better condition for tn
season of the year then they had been
in long time. The unprecedented
ly long period of mild fall weather
had kept pasturage good, and the cat

enter upon the harsh northwestern
winter. The beef raising interests of
Montana are very large, the number
range cattle being not less than 654,-

In the northern part of the noun
tain state the vast ranges are not
fenced off, and the cattle in herds of
hundreds and thousands, each
bearing the brand of its owner, roam
at large over the wild pastures the
winter through. There is no shelter
for them. there is no food gathered or
stacked, rs general thing, for their
use. They must rustic for their
living in winter as well as in summer.
They root away the snow from the
dried grass and crop it, They grow
very thin, but a majority of them
manage to survive till green pasture
arrives again. When severe storms
come, they huddle together to keep
warm, hump up their backs and let
