AN OVERWORKED BRAIN.
From the Record, Pierceton, Ind


Determined to rise as an educator, Err
nest Kemper, of Pierceton, Ind, overtaxed
himself mentally and physically. He was
ambitious; his mind was always on his
work. From early morn until late at night
he continually pored over his books.
Few persons, even with the strongest
constitutions, can keep up Under such a
strain. 80.
In addition to his studies, Mr.. Kemper
was teaching a school some three miles
from his home. Finally, his excessive
study and the exposure of going to and
from school in all kinds of weather under
mined his health.
He was taken to his bed with pneu-
monia and his overworked brain almost
collapsed: For several weeks he was Sc
riously i'll.
Catarrh had taken root in his system
and his mind was in delicate condition.

without benefit. Finally his physician
recommended DR.: Williams Pink pills
for Pale People, and from the first box
he began to improve. When he had
taken nine boxes he was completely cured.
This famous blood and nerve medicine
accomplished what former expensive
treatment failed to do. Mr.. Kemper says
his catarrh has entirely left him; he is
strong again and weighs nine pounds
more than he ever did. He gives the pills
the entire credit. He is starting teaching
tinue the work. To prove that the above
is true Mr.. Kemper's affidavit follows:
Subscribed and sworn to before me this
the 10th day of September, 1897.

We doubt if these pills have an equal
in all the range Of medicine, for building
up run down and debilitated system.

10 Those Coming 10 AlaskA Or the Klon-
dixie Gold Fislds. zs5a
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, pr0speetor or trader COM
ing to Alaska. to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the necessity
for providing an adequate and proper
food supply. Whether procured in the
States in the Dominion, or at the supply
stores here or further on, this must be
ms primary concern. Upon the manner
IN which the miner has observed or neg
leeted this precau tion more than upon any
other one thing will his success Of failure
depend. .
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection Of foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
nave to encounter is imperative: For ill.,

Wrestling with a Bull.

The bull-wrestling feat which is so
handily accomplished by Ursus. the Lydi-
an giant in *Quo Vadis," was attempted
with rather disastrous results at C;udad
Juarez, a Mexican town just across the
Rio Grandc. The athlete was an Italian,
who bore the legendary name of Romu-
lus, and he tackled a lively shorthorn
bull that had been provided by the city
fathers. Rubber grips were placed on
the thick, stubby horns, to insure firm
hold, but the beast threw Romulus sew
eral times. broke his thumb, covered him
with bruises from head to foot, and final
ly jabbcd him in the kneepan, and used
him up SO badly that Romulus had to
retire from the arena. The strong man
lays his misfortunes all to those stubby
horns He says he has conquered more
than one Texas bull that is armed with
long and wide-spreading horns.

Dat sheaves Guod Horse Feed.

Dat sheaves Guod Horse Feed.
We have on hand at present about
forty loads of oat sheayes, also the same
number of loads of wild hay, and large
quantity of oat straw We sOwed the
oats for feed on the 10Th of june and
cut them just when they began to show
a yellow color. The grain is very light
on the sheaves, but the straw is nice and
green, and we are satisfied, says writer
i'll Farmers Advocate, that it is the best
feed for horses that we have used since
we came here, which is twenty four
years ago last June. We give to the idle
horses one sheaf each three times
day, no other feed is given; we make no
change in the amount, with exception of
less than a whole sheaf. We water all
horses first thing in the morning, before
| they are fed, and also just before night,
at trough in the yard. and pump the
| water as they drink particularly in
winter), as we think it better to let them
| have water ut the temperature it is in the
| well, instead of pumping trough full
and letting it stand, as the temperature
| of the water soon falls to the freezing
point We consider the watering of
horses very important matter, and feel
satisfied that they should get most of
| their water before being fed; if idle they
| should have water twice day; and if
working, not less than three times. We
! tie all our horses in single stalls, as we
| think horse does best when in his own
perth and not annoyed by another horse
The stalls are all five feet wide, three
| Inch plank for floor, and stalls and man
gers of two-inch, and so arranged as to
feed all at the head. We turn all idle
horses out in the yard part of the fore
noon when the stable is being cleaned; all
managers and stalls are thoroughly cleaned
each day. No bad smell will exist if the
whole stable is properly cleaned each day.
Our stable is so arranged that we can
| nave any temperature desired. but keep
it about 50 degrees. We do not use over
| three teams for work in the winter, and
as we are twenty miles from wood, we
feed those more literally by giving them
| one gallon of crushed oats twice q day.
| with boiled barley mixed with bran for

blanket any Of our horses when in our

without, but if we have occasion to stay
| over night and have to put them in Il
colder stable than they have been used to
at home, we put on blankets. We do not
think it right to clip horses, but it may
not do much harm if they are kept in a

away from drafts, until the hair grows
