A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
little DAUGHTERS Life.

l am the mother of eight children
and have had great deal of expert
ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had dysentery in
its worst form. We thought she would
die. l tried everything could think
of, but nothing seemed to do her any
good. l saw by an advertisement in
our paper that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in our house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ter's life. l am anxious tor every moth
er to know what an excellent remedy
it is. Had / known it at first it would
have saved me great deal of anxiety
and my little daughter much suffering

A Mexican Cigarette.

This talk about starting cigarette
trust in Old Mexico strikes me as being
rather good joke" said an experi-
enced tobacco man. Il would as soon
think of starting an ice, trust at the
north pole and trying to corner the in
side supply. It is true everybody
smokes cigarettes in Mexico, but with
very few exceptions they make them
themselves. The aristocrats affect
Fancy brands, mostly Turkish and
Egyptian, but the masses use coarse
granulated tobacco, and either brown
paper or corn husk.
1T requires a great deal of skill to
toll cigarette la Mexicana, and I've
watched the native do it many a time
without being able to initiate the per-
Torrance. The average Mexican, from
peon to upper middle class, carries
handful of granulated tobacco wrapped
up in a piece of rag or the corner of
handkerchief. When he wants to
smoke. which is about once every five
minutes, he produces let us say, bit
OF husk. spreads a pinch of tobacco
on it lengthwise, and twists it into a
cylinder by giving it a sort of sidelong
slap against his thight. How he i'm
parts the necessary rolling motion l
was never able to understand, and
granulated tobacco is more difficult to
manipulate than the ordinary long cut
White paper for cigarette making
is almost totally unknown, once you
cross the Rio Grande, and American
tobacco houses doing large business
IN the republic have found it necessary
to substitute brown for their Mexican
| trade. The kind hest liked is the
/ common brown straw paper, chiefly
used in this country by butchers and
grocers for wrapping up parcels.

Mrs. John Weighton has been very
sick for several days past, but at pres
ent is somewhat improved. Those
who have the care of her condition
have hopes that she is now out of
danger
The proposition made by "The
Teachers Home University Library"
to the teachers, has been rejected and
those who gave their notes for to be-
come members of the library, have
met, appointed new committees and q
new secretary and intend to fight the
matter to finish. The case is we'll
known to our readers as mention was
made of the test case which was
held last spring. Cosson & Ross have
been retained by the teachers while
Henry NJ. Gray will look after the in
terests of the plaintiff. The case will
probably come UP at the October term
of the District Court.
Court will convene Thursday, Au-
gust oath with Judge Macy, of Har-
Ian, presiding, at which time the
appeal from the finding of the Board
of Supervisors as to the validity of the
permit given to run mulct saloons in
Audubon county, will be tried. The
principal issue in the case will be
whether the Board should have count
ed the names presented by remon-
STRANGE, who had signed their names
to the petition favoring the legalizing
of the mulct saloon. John H. Mosier
will appear to defend the decision rem
dered by the Board Of Supervisors
while Geo. w. Cosson will appear for
the plaintiff. This is one of the most
important cases tried in our courts and
will be closely contested. The attor.
neys on either side are among the
ablest members of the bar and will
bring forth all the law that will have
any bearing on the case. 1t is purely
a question of law and both sides are
willing to be so governed.

The YAK for Use in Sweden.

A short time ago two yaks were i'm
ported to Gothenburg, and were later
sent to Stockholm. The secretary Of
the Gothenburg Touring club recon-
mends that yaks be imported into
northern Sweden for use by the pion-
eer farmers, the long and cold winters
being rather severe for ordinary cat
tie. 1t is declared that it would not
be necessary to stall-feed the yak dur
ing winter; that the farmers would
get strong hardy and tractable beast
of burden. which also would supply
milk of good quality and which could
find it's way even through deep snow
1t remains yet to be seen whether or
not any one is willing to act upon the
suggestion. DR.. Sven Hedin, who has
had opportunities for studying the yak
in its native land, thinks the expert
ment worth trying.

THE THREE KINGS.
BY II. W. LoNGFELLow.

Three Kings came riding from far away,
Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar;
Three Wise Men out of the East were they,
And they travelled by night and slept by day.
For their guide beautiful. wonderful star.
The star was 50 beautiful, large and clear,
That all the other stars in the sky
Became a white mist in the atmosphere,
And by this they knew that the coming was near
of the Prince foretold in the prophecy.
Three caskets they bore on their saddle bows.
Three caskets of gold with golden keys;
Their robes were of crimson silk with rows
of bells and pomeg and furbelows
Their turbsns like blossoming almond trees.
Aud 50 the three Kings rode into the West,
Through the dusk OF the night, hill and dell,
And sometimes they nodded with beari breast,
And sometimes talked. they raused TO rest.
with the people they met at some wayside well.
"of the child that is born" said Baltasar.
Good people, pray you, tell us the news;
For we in the East have seen his star,
And have ridden fast and have ridden far
To find and worship the King of the Jews"
And the people answered You ask in vain:
We know Of no King save Herod the Great"
And they thought the Wise Men were men insane
As they spurred their horses across the plain,
Like riders in haste, who canno, wait
And when they came TO Jerusalem
Herod the Great who had heard this thing.
Sent fer the Wise Men and questioned them,
And said Go down into Bethlehem
And bring me tiiines Of this new King"
so they rode away and the star stood STILL
The only one in the gray Of the morn:
Yes it stopped It stood still Of its free will
Right over Bethlehem on the hill.
The city % David. where Christ WAS born
And the three Kings rode through the gate aud the
guard.
Through the silent street tll their horses turnei
And Weighed as they entered the great Inn yard:
But the windows were closed and the doors were
tArrct.
And the only light in the stable burned.
And Graded there In the scented hay.
In the air nlsde sweet by the breath Of kline.
The little Child In the mangcr lSy.
The Child that would be King some day
ola Kingdom no, human but divine.
His mother Mary Of Nazareth,
SAT- watching beside the place OF rest.
Watching the even Gov % his breath,
For the Joy and the terror OF death
We're mingled together in her breast
Thsy aid their offerings si his feet.
