STARTLED THE CAMP
A PRANK THAT ENLlVENED A SNOW
BOUND MINING TOWN.

Dead Lawyer Was Mutual Sur

Victim of the Tricksters.

dreary time, and men Will do anything

The story am going to tell you actual
ly did occur. and at that time we all
welcomed the joke as a godsend and
made a hero of its perpetrator
THE winter of 1898 rested an appall-
ingly heavy hand on the C9ur d Alene.
Buried many feet deep under Il mass of
fleecy snow, the country lay PROSTATE.
So intense was the cold and so heavy
the weight Of the snow that it was pos
sble to work none but the richest
claims. Ingress to and egress from
that bountifully rich territory was a
feat that none but the hardest man
dared essay. for it was an even chance
that death from exposure might be the
lot of the one who attempted it.
wallace ut this time was n thriving.
busy. prosperous town where the arti-
erywhere betrayed itself. The shutting
down of many of the mines had left a
large number of men living in Wallace
with nothing to do. Time hung heav-
lily on their hands. and nothing was Of
too small importance 10 attract interest
provided it held out the hope of killing
few hours of the dreary time of wait
ing.
Just ut this period the most prOmi-
nent young lawyer of the town fell ILL.,
There wasn't anything particular the
matter with him except n heavy cold
and impending fever; but. being some
what of a hypochondriac, lie at once
believed himself to be in n dangerous
condition. He promptly took himself
to his bed in the rear of his office, de-
MED himself to all but two or three OF
his intimate friends. Installed a nurse
to look after his wants and promptly
gave himself over to that luxury of be-
lieving himself to he really i'll which is
so dear to the hypochondriac' heart.
The three men who were his friends
and who were admitted to his apart
ment took advantage of the conditions
surrounding him 10 perpetrate prac-
teal joke that has since become IA
nous in the northwest. They gave out
the news that the lawyer, one Jack
Greene, had died. and as his mourning
friends they received the camp, which
called in body to express its regret.
I'm the meantime Greene, in the next
room, heard nothing, the visitors being
naturally quiet in the presence of
death. One of his friends went TO the

NOR, abcess or cancer can be cured
with out the knife, that system is
worth investigating. If your lungs
are seriously affected and all the sys-
TENS of treating you have tested have
not cured you, you are advised to
'schange climate"-the 'sure road to
health in lung trouble,'' they say.
But if you have read of a system of
treating that claims to cure lung
trouble without you leaving your
home and business, it is wise to in
vestigate these statements; find ii
they are true or false. If you have
been accustomed for years to taking
a nightly dose of medicine for constI-
patton, and you have read of system
of treating that cures constipation
permanently an d without medicines,
YOU should lose no time finding out if
that's true. If you have paralysis
and believe your case hopeless by all
the systems of treating that you have
tried, and you have read that it is
durable, painlessly and permanently,
90 today and find out if there is any
truth in this statement. If your kid
neys are weak and painful, or if you
are afflicted with diabetes, here is a
system that claims to cure 1t. II you
have neuralgia, Rheumatism, goitTe
or any disease that has not reached
the incurable stage, ask you TO in
vestigate Natural Healing. 1t is ma
lures own remedy. 1t will cure
when all other systems fail. 1t will
cure in less time. 1t will cure per-
manently 1t will cure painleSsly.

Is an Old adage we often hear, and all
roads do not lead to good health, but
great many do When an invalid
reads over the advertisements in the
papers he is at loss which "road to
health" to start on. A subject of so
great Importance should be carefully
considered. No system of treating
diseases will cure all cases, but it is
wise to select the one that makes the
greatest per cent of cures in the short
est length of time. Some systems of
treating are painful and embarrass-
ing. If the same results may be OBJ
tanned by a painless system, that
would surely be preferable. The OPP
Grating table should be considered
only as last resort, but if your tn
