The instructions are practically the

at Santiago. Tho latter order stated
specifically that the insurgents must
recognize the military occupation and
authority of the United States and the
cessation of hostilities proclaimed by
the United States. Doubtlessly the
same order is being appli cd to the in.
surgents under Aguinaldo. although it
was not stated officially that such
specific regulations were made.

Dewey and Merritt does not in terms

Yesterday was the coldest day
experienced in this land of sun
shine for several years. The air
yesterday morning was of the eager
and nipping kind, and it is report
ed that at S o'clock in the morning
the thermometer had fallen to IS
degrees below zero. We can tes-
tify to the fact that it was 10 below
at ? o'clock. All trains were de-
layed from two to six hours. BY
noon the weather had moderated
considerably, and the sun did its

his pipe and clambered up the dog

was sitting on top of the brake and
dangling his feet in mid-air.
"Now | have scheme for the

the rain come out of clear sky.
Now it would not be so expensive

"What would you do with
them ?" asked the conductor.
al would put the stones near
the rabbits den and put the red
pepper round on the ground"
"What's all that for?"
"Well, the rabbit would sniff the
red pepper, sneeze and knock his
brains out on the stone," said the
rear brakeman as he knocked the
ashes out of his clay pipe and
came down from his seat.

JUVENILE FOOTBALL TEAM.
Enthusiastic Mams's Kitchen Given
Up for Headquarters.

|
There is new football team in
town. The organization was ef-
fected one evening recently in a
kitchen loaned for the occasion by
the fond mama of the star full back
Of the team. The chairman of the
meeting was installed upon the
cook stove, from which improvis-
ed throne he endeavored to restrain
the enthusiasm Of the boys by
learned interpretations of parlia-
mentary law, which the kids in
sisted was all Greek to them. The
secretary sat upon an overturned
coal scuttle and kept the minutes
Of the meeting on pad on his
knee.
A very full and complete set of
rules and regulations was adopted
governing the diet and daily train
ing of the members of the team.
The treasurer has purchased a
plentiful supply of oatmeal, and
from this date no member will be
allowed to drink anything but water
and oat meal mixed. This con-
coction is generally recognized by
athletes as great developer Of
Drawn and muscle, and our local
team promises to be aspirants for
championship honors before the
season closes.
The team is also we'll supplied
with bandages, absorbent cotton,
arnica and various and sundry
ointments and lotions to relieve
the pain incident to broken noses,
arms and legs. The members of
the team assemble every evening
on the campus north of the Park
House for practice. This rule is
mandatory, but most of the men,
bers are on the ground by s o'clock
in the morning getting in first
class trim for the evening prac-
tice.
A resolution was passed that the
ball ego round" that is the dis
tinctive honor of caring for the
"pigskin" each night will pass in
succession to each individual mem
Der of the team. There was con-
siderable discussion over this mat
ter, as quite sum of money had
been expended in purchasing the
sphere. The question was finally
amicably adjusted, however, and
the club is in perfectly harmonious
working order at the present time.
La Junta tribune., 1898-12-10
Two Pointed Question. Answered.

What is the use of making bet
ter article than your competitor if
you cannot get better price for it ?
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought
prominently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the pub
lie will very quickly pass judg-
ment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one reme-
dy that they know to be reliable,
and for coughs, colds and Group
there is nothing equal to Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. For
