Something That win Do xou Good.

We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good re- suits in our family so long that it has become a household necessity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as a safeguard against croup.-Camden (S. O Messenger. For sale by all druggists,

Worthy Tribute TO a Former Custer
County Lady.


Laugh and the world laughs
with you weep and you weep
alone" says Ella Wheeler Wilcox
in one OF her most beautiful po-
ems, and there is much food for
reflection in the saying that
'This world is what we make it"
for we may travel through life
without seeing its many beauties
or reaping any of the benefits
which our Maker designed that
we should; on the other hand if
we go in search of earthly pleas
ures there is mnch to be found
about us every day.
A striking example of this was
brought to my notice when Miss.
Miranda Maupin took up her
residence in Omaha, Nebraska
hailing from Broken Bow, Nebr.
This lady has for many years
been an invalid unable to enjoy
life as those of her friends who
have been more fortuna tc than
her from the stand point of
physical strength and endurance.
For years she has been unable to
rise up out of her invalid's chair
and must be content to remain in
practically in one position all the
time.
Yet withal she has that happy
faculty of looking at the bright
side of life, enduring pain and
suffering without scarcely muir
mer and possesses at all times a
cheerful Countenance and affable
manner.
Being possessed of a bright in
tellect and polished manners as
we'll as being lady of good con-
yersational abilities she at once
attracts others by her ready wit
and daily adds to her large list
of friends and acquaintances'
II Unable to travel around at will
she must necessarily coniine her
self to her immediate surround
ings, Unlike the majority of
people who are always peevish
and fretful when confined to
their homes during siege of
sickness, she delights look out of
her window and enjoy the beau
ties of nature, to listen to the
warbling of the birds, the rustic
of the leaves waited by the gentle
breezeS brings music to her and
make her life one of real enjoy
ment.
"COntentment is natural veal
tn" says Socrates;"luX is arti-
fetal poverty" Contentment is
generally conceded to be a high
class of character and is possessed
by limited number of in
dividuals.
In the enjoyment of life in its
trucr sense Miss Maupin seems
to have acquired as much hap
piness as though she h ad been the
proud posSeSsor of all those God
given faculties which Others pos
sess, and her amiabic and pleas
ing manners affords an example
which others might well emulate.
Thus all mankind to greater
or less degree may partake of the
pleasures of life as he or she may
choose to make them. In the
language of the poet Doane:
| 'Chisel in hand. stool a seal pt"r boy,
With his marble block before him.
| Mud his face lit up with a smile of Joy.
A. an angle dream passed DER him.
He carved that dream on the yielding stone
With many a sharpe inCision;
| In Heavens own light the sculptor shOne-
He had caught that angle Vision.
SCulptors of life are we. as We stand,
With our lives uuCaryed before US,
| Waiting the hour, when, at Gods command,
Our lie dream passes DER us,
| Let US carve il, then, on the yielding stone,
With many sharp inCisOn;
| Its heavenly beauty shall be our own
Our lives, that angel vision"
