How to Avoid Colds.

Everyone admits the necessity for guard
ing against exposure, especially when
there are sudden changes from heat to
cold, but few persons take these impera-
tive precautions in the proper way They
are chilly when the weather changes and
Immediately seek out an overcoat, JACKIE,
a scarf or muller The shoulder cape
comes into use and the feather boa or
wrap that is pulled up close about the
neck and covers the chest. If instead of
this, thicker shoes and warmer hose, were
put on and a warmer covering for the
limbs were afforded the trunk of the body
could take much better care of itself.
Cold and exposed eXtremities and too
much wrapping around the body create
congestion and pave the way for disease.
The hygienic and sensible method is to
give the throat, chest and arms dash of
cold salt and water every morning upon
rising. An entire sponge bath of this sort
is of great advantage but this treatment
of the throat and chest is almost absolute
ly necessary if one would avoid multi
tude of ills that affect this portion of the
system.

The Boys and the Birds.

| Mr. E. Liyczcv, Il well known citizen
| and propcrtyowncr of CatonsyllIe, has
written letter to Dr.. Massamore, of the
MARYLAND Game Protective Association, i'll
| which lie says:
Mr.. Penniman refers to you i'll relation
to prosposed Game Law in the Balti-
more Sun of the 18th Of December, and
suggests the following as recommended
by the committee: Recognizing that boys
should have an opportunity to shoot, the
committee determined to permit i'll its bill
the shooting of robins, larks, doves and
flickers' Here are four of our most beau
tiful and useful birds set apart as targets
for boys to practice on, and this i'll the
face of the facts that farmers and garden
ers are having their crops and fruits de-
stroyed by insects, on which these and all
other birds subsist. The suggestions IN
regard to game seems proper, including
pheasants, partridges, snipe, woodcock
and rabbits, but spare all insectivorous
birds. No Robin is allowed to be killed
in any state north of MarylanG; they de-
stroy more insects than any other bird
and ought to be appreciated by all civil
lied and Christian communities; besides
the law now in force protects the birds
mentioned that your proposed game laws
would repeal. Then you must recollect
we have trespass law, which was de
manded by our people to stop this nui-
sancc of irresponsible boys roaming
around the country and shooting not only
birds, but pigeons, sometimes chickens,
and endangering the lives of women and
children. l cannot think our game war
dens' wish to impose this nuisance of boys
learning to shoot upon our people, which
has been repressed by wise and humane
legislation l love the birds, and would
no more think of shooting the birds you
mention, or any other bird, than I would
a child. Beside the usefulness of the
birds, humanity forbids this wanton de-
struction of them as proposed

A Good Joke.
A correspondent sends us the following:
Miles have travelled
Thousands and more.
But a saddle on a mitch cow

- -
Miles have travelled
Thousands and more.
But saddle on mitch cow
never saw btfhre.
A certain young man from across the
Western Branch-not a thousand miles
from W estphalia-camet to Halls to church
on Sunday last, and, after church, he called
on a family to pay his dist' esses to the
daughter of the house. The room was
we'll filled with young people, and while
they were passing the time in discussing
the events of the day some mischievous
boys took this young mans horse and led
HIM away several hundred yards; removed
the saddle and, placing it on steer. tied
Linn to the post, where the horse had been
tied and awaited results. About nine
o'clock the young man started out to 60
home. Imagine his surprise when he APP
preached the animal to find it was not his
horse. After surveying it from distance
of fifteen or twenty feet for several min
utes, he exclaimed, Il don't ride no old
cow" and started for the house to apprise
the inmates of his discovery. OF course,
all was excitement for Il time, until the
horse was discovered, tied to the fence,
when the saddle was changed from the OK
to the horse, and the young man vaulted
into the saddle and Started for home at a
2.40 clip.
The young lady thinks it a good joke.

Anton Nelson Dead.

Anton Nelson, who was reported in
our issue of the 22nd ult. as being serI-
ously i'll at Hot Springs. died in that
place on last Sunday night. The
deceased was a we'll known ]prospector
and miner, who, for many years, was
located at Four Mile, and l~atterly en-
ployed in the Rua mine near Ragged
Top. where he contracted the malady,
Bright's disease, which resulted fatally
at Hot Springs, where he was taken for
medical treatment. He was a native of
Sweden, and had passed the fiftieth
year Of his life. He was highly re-
spected by his associates, being notably
fair and just in his dealings with his
fellow men, and was generous to a fault.
He was a member in good standing Of
the Custer Lodge Of Odd Fellows, who
contributed literally to his temporal
wants during the period of his illness,
and betrayed the expense incident to
his burial. which last sad rite was per-
formed at Hot Springs on Wednesday.
He leaves no surviving relatives in this
country, and little, if anything is known
here Of his life history prior to his
coming to the Hills.

Died.

On Sunday, the 30th ult.. at the resi-
dence of her son, George w. Bond, three
miles southwest Of this city, Of gangrene,
after an IL ness of three weeks, Mrs.
Elmira L. Green, in the SEVENTEEN year
of her age.
The deceased. who was highly re
spected in this community where she
resided for more than fifteen years, was
born in Peterboro, New York, Oct. End,
1928. In her early life she united with
the Seventh Day Baptist Church, and
her life has ever been that of an earnest
consistent Christian, winning the re-
spect and esteem OF all Of her acquaint-
ances by her generous impulses, and
amiable traits of character. She was
twice married, and in both unions hap.
piness and contentment followed. Her
marriage to William Bond, her first
husband. at Peterboro, was blessed by
the birth of two sons, George W., and
Warren r., both Of whom survive her,
and at present are numbered with the
highly respected residents Of this com
munity, and one daughter, who died in
her childhood. Her marriage to George
IL. Green, her second husband, in Wat
son, New York, was crowned by the
birth of four sons, Daniel p. of this
vicinity, Charles II. Of Azen, Missouri,
and Francis and William, who died in
their early manhood in the state Of New
York, and two daughters, one Of whom
survives her, Mrs. ID. ID. Tubbs, Of this
place, the otter, Mrs. +. II. Smith, hay-
ing died in this place in 1886.
The death Of Mother Green, AS she
was familiarity called. has cast a gloom
over this community, and is deeply
lamented by a host of earnest and de-
voted friends. Funeral services were
held at the NJ. E. church in this place
on Tuesday, at 1870 o'clock p. m, con-
Quoted by Rev. j. w. Kendall, assisted
by Rev. O. w. Butterield, being largely
attended, after which the remains were
consigned to rest in the Custer Gene
terry.
