THE WARNING LIMP.
Child, for 1t May Have
Serious Cause.

There are two extremes, into one or
the other Of which many mothers fall
that of oversolicitude for their chill
| dren, a fussiness and a tendency to
| coddle them and to run with them to
the doctor for every ache or pain; and
that of careless inattention to a
child's complaint of feeling poorly or
10 injuries received in rough play.
In the first case the child is in dam
ger of developing into an irritable,
selfish valetudinarian while the moth
er, by her worry, destroys the happi-
ness of what ought to be the sweetest
part of woman's life, and is in dan
ger also of driving herself into a con-
dition of nervous invalidism.
On the other hand, a mother who
habitually dismisses without a second
thought every complaint by her child
of discomfort or pain, or who thinks
it will make her boy more mani y if she
schools herself not to betray sympa-
thy for him in his physical troubles,
runs the serious risk of ignoring some
incipient i'll which, if taken in time,
may be arrested, but if neglected may
develop into lifelong affection.
OF these two extremes the former is
attended with by far the more serious
danger to the child, but the latter is
not without its perils.
There is one symptom, especially,
that should never be passed over light
ly in child, and that is limp-espe-
cially one that is intermittent. 1t may
be nothing more serious than slight
sprain or "stone bruise," or perhaps
mere footsoreness from unwonted
tramps over rough roads. It may be
due to a little muscular soreness or
rheumatism, or to passing stiffness
in joint resulting from overexercise;
but-and this is where its seriousness
lest may be the earliest symptom
OF hip disease.
This painful and crippling disease
often, indeed usually, begins with an
apparently insignificant limp, which
comes and goes for perhaps several
months before any other symptom of
the malady shows itself. 1t is often at
tributed by the parents, and some
times by the physician, to one or other
Of the aforementioned causes or to
simple habit, and as it is usually unac-
companied by pain it is neglected until
finally other severe symptoms show,
perhaps too late for cure, what the
real trouble is.
A limp that comes and goes repeat
edly, especially when the child can
not explain why he walks lame, is
danger signal that even the strongest
advocate of the "toughening" system
ought to heed.-Youth's Companion.

At Yarmouth, England. seaside re-
sort of growing favor, revolving tow
er has been constructed as aR attrac-
ton. 1t is placed close to the sea, over
looking large expanse of land and
water. The tower is 1856 feet high, and
has the capacity of carrying 200 persons
in each trip. Persons who have never
ridden in a roundabout or been up in a
balloon can here. in this revolving life,
experience something of both of these
odd to some and most pleasant to
others-sensations. On the little plat
form at the top of the tower the breeze

whilst the view beneath is superb.

ALARM UNNECESSARY.

The Cherokee nation has en-
ployed counsel to defend it's treaty
rights before the courts of the
country. The courts of the Indian
Territory have declared in advance
that the Curtis bill is unconstitu-
tional. If all this is true, why not
60 into the courts and "knock out"
the Curtis law? All this talk
about the dangers of the Curtis
law, coming from the chief and
others in the Cherokee nation,
sounds like silly twaddle. If the
Cherokees expect other people to
respect their treaty rights they
must respect them themselves. If
the lawyers who have undertaken
the case are telling the truth, and
it is presumed they are and that
they know what they are talking
about, it will be the easiest thing
In the world to defeat the opera
tion of the Curtis law and remain
in statu quo till some other step is
taken by the government that will
accomplish the desired object. All

Miss Greener-And so you were in

Weren't you just frightened to death ?
Miss Whiting-You'll hardly believe
it, but 1 wasn't frightened bit. The
fact is, when they came into the car
and ordered us to hold up our hands

On palmistry, and didn't find out diff
ferently until it was all over.-Boston

A CRITICAL Time
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL. A RUSH NIGHT
AND DAY.

THE PACKERS AT TIE BATTLE OE
SANTIAGO DE CUBA WERE ALL
HEROES. THEIR HEROIC EFFORTS
IN GETTING AMMUNITION AND RA-
TIoNs TO THE FRONT SAVED THE
DAY.
p. +. Butler. Of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago. De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form. and when
we landed We mad no time to see a doc
tor, for it was case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. we were able
to keep at work and keep our health; in
fact. I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine WAS the in
direct saviour Of our army. for IL the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way u getting sup
plies to the front. There. were no roads
that wagon tram conld nse. My com.
rade and my self had the good fortune te
lay in a supply Of this medicine for oul
pack. train before we left Tampa, and ]
know In four cases it absolutely saved
life." tS

In their card the COMMITTEES say
"Mr. Hay states that no mentioa was
made in advertisement fOs tho removal
Of trees. AS to the truth of this state
ment We leave the public to decide"
Since such is their wish here insert
the advertisement:
CALL FOR BIDS.
ostsase Of the Board Of Trustees
Town Of Neeker.
Sealed propCaah will be received BY the un-
derrigneA. clerk of The board OF trustees Of
the town Of Meekes. for pioving up, disc and
ordinary narrowing OF the town park.
Plans and specifications - TO how
the work shall be done can be seen At the
clerks Office. The committee in charge Of the
work reserves the right to reject any and nll
bitis. Bids must be handed IN before room Of
the nth day Of August, lsos. All bids to be
marked "Bids for plowius up town park" by
order Of the committee.
". 3. SALrMARsH, Town Clerk.
This is the only advertisement pub
lished in this matter.
And right here wish to apologize to
the public for my seeming cruelty to
the honorable committee in publishing
their banter and the advertisement
they refer to where both can be seen in
the same glance. -.
1 again REPEAT that at the f1tst meet
ing when the plans were submitted. an
estimate was made by the council Of
the cost Of laying out the grounds.
planting. sowing and putting in the
plank cutters and that estimate was
$500.
That dav the estimate for surveyors
work was 500. The committee have
already let contracts for trees S2l5 and
for plowing ETC., $50. The plank
cutters on each side of the walks will
take from 5000 to 5000 feet Of lumber
which will cost something for laying
down in place which with the sowing
in lawn grass and the plowing and har-
rowing next spring will foot up far
more than the councils original estimate.
The contract let to Fravert is illegal
as it was not advertised and no others
were given chance to bid. Again, the
yeas and nays were not taken on the
resolution as required by law. In Mills
Annotated Statutes of Colorado section
4442 b reads as follows: "Ail work
done by the city In the construction of
works otpublic improvement of every
kind shall be done BY contract to the
lowest responsible bidder upon open
bid after ample advertisement" Sec.
4445 directs that the yeas and nays shall
he taken op every resolution or order to
enter into contract. On page 22S3 of
said statutes Is given the following
decision Of court: ut is condition
precedent OF contracting that there
shall be public letting Of the work
with entire freedom Of competition.
In the End Colorado p 6O4 we lind this
decision: when municipal. !, corpora
tioUs undertake to make contracts. they
must observe the regulations prescribed
In that behalf. else there will be no
contracts and no subsequent act can
cure the defect"
That the committee saw ht to defend
themselves by accusing another council
man of lying Is no reason that the
citizens should criticize them too harshly
for it must be remembered that that
was the only defense they had. He
only. who is in the wrong resorts to
calling names. IL. j. HAY.
