DISPLAY OF PROPER SPIRIT,
The Shopping Woman Lost Patience
Over a Clerks RuGeuess

The Shopping Woman Lost Patience
Over a Clerks RudeEess.
The display of spirit is often a good
thing. This is the story of a woman's
recent shopping experience. She
wanted number of household articles,
among them a little twisted wire rack
of certain pattern. She inquired at
several places and could not find just
what she wanted. At length she entered
store where she thought it would sure
ly be in stock.
Ayoung woman came forward to wait
on her. The shopping woman, who is a
very kindly disposed person, spoke to
the clerk pleasantly and explained her
wishes. The girl thrust out her chin,
but led the way to the wire counter.
There was no rack of the description
called for.
The clerk was very unpleasant. She
remarked, spitefulIy:
II haven't that thing in stock! I
don't know what anyone wants with
that cheap stuff. I am sure I wouldn't
have it,"
The shopping woman turned away in
disgust, but she said nothing.
The clerk came up behind her and
asked:
SIS there anything else you want to
see?"
The shopping woman thought the
clerk was becoming more amiable, and
said that she wanted to look at clocks.
Right up in front; just walk up"
said the girl.
The shopping woman was tired, and
she walked leisurely along the aisle. The
clerk said, rather sharply:
Fright up in front, please"
The shopping woman did not hurry;
she did not want to do so.
Then the girl said, very sharply and
peremptorily:
walk up! Walk up"
The SHOPPING woman had borne as
much as she could. She turned to the
clerk, gave her naughty look, and
remarked acidly:
81 will walk as I please"
The disagreeable clerk drew in her
horns.-St. Louis Republic.

Exciting Fire Scare.

Serious damage by fire to business
property on Main street was narrowly
averted Saturday evening. About $50
O'Clock, just before closing time in the
SLIDER dry goods store, large Rochester
burner lamp slipped through its hang
ing bracket and dropped to the floor.
Oil was distributed in all directions and
Immediately ignited. The fire alarm
was sounded and men from the street
rushed into the building to assist in
distinguishing the blaze. An exciting
time followed III which Norton, the
stove man. proved himself the Dewey
of the occasion. The lamp was finally
wrapped up in Maurice Silber's nice
macintosh and thrown out the front
door. One counter was partially
burned and considerable clothing
singed, but the loss was trifing in
comparison with what tie flames
promised for few moments.
Loss fully covered by insurance. The
SLIDER store was closed until Wednes-
day morning to allow the insurance
man to make an estimate Of damage
done. Business again continues I'M
abated. 1t was an unlucky start with a
mighty lucky finish.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
(From the Fairhayen On. " Register.)

Mr. James Rowland OF, this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in such
pain that she was nearly crazy. She
sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but
be had read of Chamberlain Pain
Balm and instead of going for the
physician he went to the store and
secured a bottle of it. His wife did
not approve Of Mr.. Rowland's purchase
at first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hours time
was able to 60 to sleep. She now
applies it whenever she feels an ache
or a pain and finds that it always gives
relief He says that no medicine which
she had used ever did her as much
good. The % and so cent sizes for sale

Diseases that attack women are worse then
pirates. They torture long before they
kill. But women can beat them off and
cut them down with DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This is a woman's remedy
that has no alcohol, opium or other mar
cotic in it. 1t is the prescription of DR..
R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. ", who has
devoted a long and successful life to the
study and treatment of diseases peculiar to
women. 1t overcomes Irregularities, stops
disagreeable drains, bearing-d down pains
and backache; cures female weakness and
headache. 1t helps the girl over the diff
culties encountered when she enters wom-
anhood; makes the r.kiod preceding ma
ternity a time of comfort; and the newborn
enters the world without unnecessary
pain to the mother. At the turn of life
it is priceless to womankind. Medicine
dealers sell it, and 0 should never
permit them to substitute other medicine
which they may urge upon you as Just
as good"
~ had been a great sufferer from female
weakness" writes Mrs. NJ. B. Wallace, of Mu-
enster, Cooke Co., Texas. II tried four doctors
and none did me any good. l suffered six years,
but at last / found relief. I followed your adj
vice, and took four bottles of Golden Medical

IN ALASKA.
Furnishes Light to Miners in the Arctic
Circle.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. Further in
formation of the active volcano dis
covered in the Atlin gold district, in
British Columbia, is to the effect that
the volcano furnishes the miners a light
by which to work their claims during
the long darkness of the Attic winter.
The glare from the spouting lava, re-
Elected back against the sky, gives an
almost continuous twilight to the upper
end Of the Atlin district.
All the passengers of the steamer
Cottage City arriving from Alaska,
have stories to tell of the volcano, but
from DR.. W. B. Kinslow and T. H.
James, mining men of Denver, who
have been making an examination of
the Atlin country, comes the best and
apparently the most authentic descrip-
ton of the Alaskan Vesuvius.
THE mountain in ereuption,' said
DR.. Kinslow, "is the second in a range
of -four towering peaks lying about
fifty miles south of Lake Gladies and a
slightly shorter distance from Atlin
City. These mountains are all 1t lest
IA 900 feet high, the crater resting a
trifle below its three brother peaks.
at was in the early part of October
from the mountains. With thought OF
a volcano furtherest from their minds,
| the miners attributed these first signs
of an eruption to clouds hanging over
the peak. So constant, however. was
the cloud that it became an object OF
daily observation from Atlin City.
Then, on November 8, the mountain
burst forth in flames. Through the
smoke cloud there shot a stream OF
frightened the sky for a radius of near
ly forty miles and sent its reflected
light through the darkness down upon
the men working on Birch, Discovery
Mckee, Pine and other creeks, the
sides of whose banks face toward the
volcano.
"A panic ensued among the miners
when the ashes began falling down up
on them. The ashes fell to a depth OF
| several inches and the stream down
the mountain side increased in magni-
tude. The fall of ashes later stopped
and the men returned to work
When we left the miners were work
ing night, gladly proiting by the mel
low twilight caused by the volcanoes

THE TRIBUNE's DEFENCE.

The Cheyenne Tribune is out in what
it is pleased to term a suggestion of a
self-defence" for the contemplate man
ner in which it has treated the recent
public actions of Senator Warren.
The Suggestion will scarcely be con-
veyed to the minds or others.
Referring to the speeches of Senator
Thurston and ex-senator Carey the Tri-
bune says typewriter copies were
furnished it so that it was enabled to
publish each in full on the morning af-
ter delivery. In the case of Judge
Carey, the Tribune vas doubtless in q
position to get an advance copy at any
livery, but how was it with Senator
Thurston's speech. OF course We do
not charge that the Tribune had the
enterprise to pay stenographers for
taking the speech. but it is a fact that
it was taken down and transcribed OF the
very night of its delivery in Cheyenne.
1t says: In the cast of Senator War
ren's speech no copy was furnished the
Tribune" How is that for an enter
prising, up-to-date newspaper? No
copy was furnished 1t. Is it the custom
of speakers to go around Offering copies
of their speeches to newspapers, or is it
the custom of newspapers to ask speak
ers for copies of their speeches? The
explanation of the Tribune will not
do. The editor knows he wilfully
sighted the principal speaker of the
greatest meeting held in Cheyenne dur
ing the late campaign and his excuses
now are pitiably lame. If he had de-
sired to be honest about the matter,
why could he not have at least given a
synopsis of the senator's speech, as he
did in the case of Mr.. Torrey?
Here is another sample statement IN
the Tribune's suggestion of a defence:
I'VE might mention the fact thai the
local land office was instructed four
months ago to give all the federal print
ing to the senator's paper, the Sum
Leader" The editor of the Tribune
knows there is not one word OF truth in
the foregoing statement. The local land
~officeofice never received one word OF
instruction in relation to the matter;
not even an intimation that such a
course would be desirable. Further
than this. the editor of the Tribune
knows Mr.. Warren has nc financial in
terest whatever in the Sun-Leader.
Again, the Tribune. referring to the
irrigation article taken from the Ma
tional Advocate. says: IF The Repub-
lican copied the Tribune article it will
be forced to confess to stealing it bodi-
", a thing no s~elf-respecting newspa-
per does" The Republican is forced to
confess it clipped the article from the
columns of the Tribune, proper credit
being given to the National Advocate,
this paper being in the firm belief that
the Tribune was acting in good faith
and had been honest enough to quote
correctly and not garble the Advocates
article. All s~elf-respecting newspapers
quote matter in just exactly the same
manner as The Republican did and in
no other way. How would it have
sounded for The Republican TO say:
I'VE quote the following article from
the National Advocate, as garbled and
distorted by the Cheyenne Tribune"
The Tribune can have peace if it will
