the prudent and careful housewife
replenishes her supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is certain
to be needed before the winter is
over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is

the cold is contracted and before it
has become settled in the system.
In almost every instance severe
cold may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the
first indication Of the cold appears.
There Is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it.
Buy it and you will get the best. 1t

Ambitious, and inheriting much OF
the mental vigor and personal magnet
ism OF her distinguished father, she
exerted political influence that, un-
der other conditions and with proper
support, might have materially
changed the destiny of the nation.
Her active life covers the most inn
portant and decisive period in our
American history, identified as it
was with the development of the
country from the Missouri river to
the Pacific and particularly appeals
to the few remaining pioneers that
yet linger on the shores of time; and
to their posterlty for two generations
it bids to turn their minds to the
time when this almost lmltless en-
pire was a wilderness and the
golden resources of California un-
known. Her name brings memories
in which she mingles with the ro-
mantle career of her soldier husband,
the army lieutenant, explorer and
pathfinder, afterwards governor of
and senator for California in the
years 1916 to 1859, and who, influ-
enced by her ambitious foresight,
left the golden state and as
citizen of New York, received the
DOmin fiOn in tho frat ropublioap
national convention in 1856 for
president. In the campaign that
followed, the name of Jessie Benton
became watchword of the party,
and in those days, when PARTISAN
strife was most bitter, was always
mentioned with honest respect by
political opponents. In summing up
the life history of this woman there
remains something to be said that
cannot be said. There are sugges-
tions of a slumbering greatness, that
required struggle on her part to
keep down. She had the mental
qualities and POLITICAL foresight of a
statesman and the attributles, of
great heroiam; but, above all and
governing all, she possessed the low
ing heart of q woman, and in the
summer land where sleeps, may
beautiful flowers perpetually mark
her resting place.

A SENSITIVE NEIGHBOR.

there must, by implication, be some
corresponding reflection on later ar
rivals. While it is true that much
is due those who expended years and
energy In paving the way for new
corners and preparing civilized
community for their reception, there
is no place on earth where the
"Johny come lately" as the World
terms them, receives heartier or
or more open handed welcome than
in the glorious fat land OF Weiser.
The old timers were borne up and
encouraged in their WORK by the
thought that they would be success
full in bringing in new people-and
every new acquisition of substantial
citizen is looked upon with gratifica-
ton as evidence that past work is
bearing fruit. He is cheerfulIy in
vited to make his home here and
become one of us and the only return
asked is that he do not become
smart, because he brings some type
with him, and assume to have import
ed from the fountain head a superior
knowledge which privileges him to
take it for granted that the natives
do not know what their own resources
are and have not sufficient intelligence
to comprehend the political diseases
that are sapping their vitality and
sowing blight and stagnation where
development, activity and prosperity
should exist. They don't like to see
a "Johny" jump up and crack his
heels and say, sit is fortunate that

tributary section from which they can
draw, and illegihmately add to their
wealth through unjust and cunningly
contracted laws. Be content, poor
deceived friends, you have plenty to
eat and wear, you are not suffering
