The Park County Republican thus
speaks of the prosperity of that locality:
The finances OF Park county, as indi-
Gated by the collections made by county
treasurer Chambers, teaches a lesson
more eloquent than mere words. Never
before in the history of the county have
taxes been paid so closely as they have
been this year. Out of $11S,0O to be col
lected when the delinquent list is made
up 1t is hardly likely that $4,000 will re-
main uncollected. The cause for this is
not hard to discover. The people are
prosperous. Their business has pros
pe1ed, and they nave made money. The
merchant, the farmer, the miner and the
laborer all alike have shared in the gen.
eral prosperity brought about. in spite
of the most strenuous opposition, by the
republican party, which has succeeded in
placing this country at the head Of the
nations of the world

An American Career.

In 1867, in the graduating class of
the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute,
was youth of II, named Charles R.
Flint He was born in Maine, but
raised in the City of Churches. At
that time he had earned an enviable
reputation for indomitable application
and enormous power of work. He was
not q brilliant scholar or speaker, but
in the Milton Literary Club, composed
of the brightest students of the Insti-
tute, he was regarded as one of its
ablest members. After graduation, he
entered into commercial life, and be-
came first a clerk and then a junior
partner in a small shipping house
known as William R. Grace & Co. The
firm had an unpretentious Office in
downtown New York, and was insig-
nifcant compared with the older and
larger houses of the neighborhood. Yet
through the genius of its members, and
especially Of Flint, it was destined to
become a great financial power, and its
members to be multi-millionaires. The
young man applied to business the
same principles that had made him
successful in the Institute. Within ten
years he was a wealthy man. At 40 he
was worth more than million; to-day
he is ranked among the great capital
lists of the world.-Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly.

a Promoter's Humor.

Charles r. Flint has quaint Yankee
humor which is as well developed to-
day as In his school years. In the
Polytechnic Institute the markings
were on the basis of one hundred and
were bulletined monthly. One day q
group of boys were looking at the new
bulletin, on which one Of the hopeless
dullards of the class was marked
sixty-six.
Flint said slowly:
"Sixty-six, that's the very number OF
our year, and hope when we get to
'99 Jack will receive that figure"
Once a sanctimonious person re-
marked:
Children should never be allowed to
play with toys on Sunday"
MAY they not play with religious
toys?" he queried.
"There are no religious toys, sir!"

RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure Condition
Of the Blood d--How It May
Be Permanently Cured.
From .Ae Niror, NaaeAesier, N Il.

Although rheumatism is one of the
most painful and dangerous of the
many troubles which affiict mankind,
it can be permanently cured if aprop-
er course of treatment is taken. The
real cause of rheumatism is the pres
ence OF acid in the blood and the
only cure is to purify, nourish and
strengthen this vital fluid. The best
specific vet discovered for this purpose
is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and the number of cures they
have effected in cases of this stubborn
disease is wonderful Mrs. S. ID.
Loveland, of No. 133 West Hancock
street, Manchester, n. H., was cured
of severe attack of rheumatism by
the use of this remedy. She says:
Several years ago one of my knees
was injured by fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that / could not
bend my knee. 1t was very painful
and / was unable to move about. /
tried various remedies, but not one of
them relieeyd me in any way.
''In the latter part of August,
nearly three months after the pain
and stiffness began, a friend, Mrs.
Rothwell, of Everett, Mass, told me
Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. willingly gave them trial
and experienced relief in a few days.
/ continued until had taken three
boxes and was able to bend the knee
and go up and down stairs without
difficulty. have since taken the
pills number of times for other
troubles and always with good results.

Pink Pills for Pale People many times.
