RAMS HORNS.

The world-spoiler has no use for the
steady toiler.
Christians are like eggs, there are
no medium ones.
Self-forgetfulness Is only acquired
by remembering others.
The world is a vessel In whose hold
the fire is already burning.
Gods first act after the creation, wa
the organization Of q home.
Many public professions are GRIM

The Christian h~earthstone is an e.
sential in the foundation Of this re-
public.
When there Is a fire In the church,
the people will gather about the
hearth.
When q man shows his goodness in
his home, the chances are that good
ness has its home In him.
The fullnsss Of salvation comes In
only when Christ takes out our old
faults and puts In new forces.
When the Lord listens for the din
Of his workshop, He too often hears
but a symphony Of snorss from the

A WOLF STORY.

A party of Laramie people were com
ing to town from the Sybille district
north of Laramie a few days ago and
when they were coming around the
Spur six miles north of town they
saw a band of wolves suddenly appear
on a ridge only a short distance from
the wagon. The animals Travelled along
leisurely, keeping up with the wagon
and apparently were not frightened at
all and the people in the wagon had no
gun, not ever a corkscrew as "weepon"
so they had to sit there and watch the
a%udacious beasts laughing in their
sleeves. Presently a jackrabbit jumped
up directly in front Of the wolves and
"hit the trail" over the -mow-covered
plains in plain sight Of the party. The
wolves Immediately set up a series OF
yelps and took after the Johnrabbitt,
who by this time was setting a fast
pace and hitting the high places
The wolves were evidently hungry,
as the snow had laid on the ground for
some time and driven of the stock and
game to places of shelter and feed, and
they were ready for a piece of rabbit,
SO the chase became more intel esting
than a horse race OF a Filipino hunt.
After running a few hundred yards,
the distance between pursuers and pur-
sued was greatly diminished and the
poor rabbit found that his humps"
were not frequent and long enough,
and he tried his usual trick, that Of
suddenly changing directions, but the
wolves were ready and only waiting
for this move and there was a hungry
wolf on either flank, two in the center
and some in the real so that "Brer
Rabbits" tangential move was check
mated and he was caught and in the
twinkling of an eye devoured by the
hungry beasts, vel to his ears. The
| squeal a lost, however.
This unusual opportunity to see a
race for life was greatly enjoyed by the
party, but they longed for a gun.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
out a Failure.

The first indication Of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease 1T may be taken as a sure
sign Of the approach Of an attack
Following this hoarseness Is a pecul-
lar rough cough. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, It will pre-
vent the attack. 1t Is used in many
thousands of homes In this broad land
and disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn Of a
single instance in which 1t a not
tion can show such a record-twenty-
five years constant use without a fail
ure. For sale by Frank Eggleston. the
