Young Man!

Young man, attention." says an ex-
change. ''Dost thou go around the
land at night and rush the growler and
perambulate with the feminine? Dost
thou whooper up with the boys and
finger the substance of the jack pot,
and plant thy substance against the
ever slippery finger? Dost thou puff a
2 cent cigar or pull the deadly cigar
cite, and hast thou lost thy grip on
ways that are right and wisdom which
is good in the world7 Verify, thou art
in bad row of stumps. It will not be
long ere thou art known in the land
no more. Thine heels will fly up and
thou will fall n the soup. Keep thine
eyes on the gun and monkey not with
the juice of the jag. Stand clear of
the man with the aces,and in the ripen-
ing years of thy life thy pocket will be
full of the fruit of the earth, while
those who mind not these command
ments are partaking of the lunch that
is free"

Rope Walking at Niagara.

The man who wanted to walk across
Niagara Falls on rope was wisely re-
strained by the authorities. Probably
he is thankful that such was the case.
Death comes soon enough. Take the
inroads of disease for example. Com
mon ailments like constipation, dys-
pepsia, biliousness, malaria and ner-
vousness, do much to shorten life.
There is a medicine that will cure
these, if taken faithfully, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Set the
stomach right, and good health is sure
to follow. This peerless remedy has a
record of over fifty years of cures to
back it up. When in need of a medi-
cine of this kind, get the old reliable
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, with a
Private Revenue. Stamp over the neck
of the bottle.

There are in this world two sources
of production, viz: the land and the
sea. Nevada has plenty of land and
with water developed in spite of much
mountain and some desert, might be
made very heavy producing agricul-
tural State. Much of the country is
now desert, but get water upon it and
it will blossom as the rose and produce
enough to support a population ten
times as large as we now have. Our
mountains are all ribbed with veins
and lodges of the metals, gold, silver,
copper, lead and iron and In places we
have coal. Our immediate prosperity,
perhaps, depends upon the develop
ment of our mines. There is no more
profitable field in the world for the
employment of capital than in Nevada
to-day Enterprise.

The drainage of the Zuyder Zee will
be added to the achievements of the
next thirty years. 1t is an engineer
ing scheme of large proportions for SO
small kingdom as Holland, but the
persevering character of the Dutch
people leaves no doubt that it will be
finished, now that it has been begun.
It is over six hundred years since the
waters of the North Sea broke through
the sand barriers and completed the
inundation of the lowlands which now
form the bottom of the zuyder Zee.
It had been a country of thriving vii
lagos and farms.

A Queer Sight.

In passing Schulz's slaughter house
you will notice hundreds of magpies.
There are lot of young pigs there and
the magpies and pigs appear to be on
the friendliest terms.
The birds light on the backs of the
pigs and scratch and peck, probably in
search of fieas or some insect which
attaches itself to the pigs.
The little porkers appear to like it
and grunt approvingly when the birds
are scratching away on their backs
appeal.

Letter from Honnyman.

Elmer Honnyman has written the
following letter to Captain Linscott,
giving graphic description of bis suf-
ferings while prisoner of war:
MANILA, Jan. 8, 1900.-Captain F. NJ.
Linscott-Dear Sir: I take the liberty
to address you a few lines to let you
know that | am free at last, after eleven
months with the niggers. Bruce and
arrived here yesterday safe and sound,
and were met at the palace by Eagle,
who gave US a grand reception, and
later we saw Wamuck, Gibson, Allison
and Greenwood.
We had horrible experience since
we last saw you. The niggers gave US
10 cents each per day to live on, and
We had to buy our fire wood, and at
one place we had to buy water also.
We were sentenced to death three
times while we were prisoners. The
first time was the next day after we
were captured, and the second was
when we escaped from Malolos and
were recaptured, and the last time
when we were marched in the noun
tains, just before being rescned by the
American troops. There were twenty
of us then and we were in the widest
part of the island. The people were
all savages and there had never been
white man in that part, it being unsur-
veyed land We we're rescued on the
10th of December, all nearly starved,
ifootsore and naked.
will send you one of my pictures,
which will show you how we looked
when we came in. | had a nigger
blanket wrapped around me to cover
my nakedness, for / had been travel
ing with breechcloth for long time,
and when the soldiers left us on the
transport at Vigan one of them gave
me his manta, or Bshould have been
naked coming into Manila.
When the American troops came up
to us was so overcome with joy that
| could not move or speak for a time,
but finally found my voice when they
showed us some hardtack and canned
bacon. | think that was the best meal
ever ate. Some one sent food to us
once from Manila, but we never re-
ceiyed it. We heard from it in San
Isidro. There were twenty-one cases
then. And we heard from it again at
San Jose and it was reduced to fifteen
cases, and at Vigan it had come down
to three cases, and that was the last
heard from it.
We sent plenty of letters through by
Spaniards, but | guess you never re-
ceived them. / shall never be able to
shank you and the troop enough for
what you did for me when captured,
but it was useless to try to rescue us
then, as they were making lots of
money on us. They would march us
through a town and tell the people
there were plenty of more Americans
coming behind, and the tax collector
would come behind US and take up a
collection.

A man who owns his own home is a
better citizen, even if there is a mort
gage on it. There is feeling of per-
sonal partnership in the protection of
property and the preservation of pub
lie order which makes him stand for
what is best in law and government.
1t is the best possible thing for his wife
and children, best for him and best for
the country.

The simplest way to get warm after
exposure to cold, says writer in a
health journal, is to take long breath
with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat
this several times until you begin to
feel the heat returning 1t requires a
very short time to do this. The long
breath quickens the pulse, and thus
causes the blood to circulate faster.
The blood flows into all parts of the
veins and arteries and gives out a great
deal of heat. 1t is stated that this
method of deep breathing prevents
colds and great many other ailments
if begun in time.
