WI,ooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
boy being only three mouths old, and
owing toour giving them Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, they lost none
of their plumpness and came out in
much better health than other chii-
dren whose parents did not use this
remedy. Our Oldest little girl would
call Justify for cough syrup between

Man Eating wild Men.

n wilde man and another in the high
street of C|onstantinople whose allow
ance is every day a quarter of raw

OF all the marvellous and mysterious

is perhaps the most wonderful. No one

what II is.
The soprano pours from her throat
notes of the sweetest melody. reaching
chords so high 1t seems something

voice till ii goes so low as to make you
wonder how he does it. The baby cries.
The orator and the actor move people

By contracting or expanding the mus
cles of the throat and by inhaling and
exhaling air the throat produces the
thousands of sounds that we call

To be Decent and to be Fair.

The Denver Times of the 18th inst,
has a very able editorial from the pen of
our old friend. John +. Carroll. its gen
eral manager and editor, upon the de
cency Of the press. After commenting
upon the rareness Of decency in the
press, he says, ''Thc Times has promised
the people two things, To be decent aud
to be fair" What Il commentary is con
tanned in those words-"to be decent
and to be fair"
Then he goes on to say, Yet strange
to say in Denver they seem to bear the
aspect of novelty. The Times
ment has been hailed as Il new dispen-
sation in Journalism" Continuing in
this strain he says again: The public
is tired of the journalistic sandbagger;
it is heartily sick of morbid sensational
ism, OF the horrors constantly paraded
for news, of tine unveracity which places
the public man at the mercy of the news
paper assassin, which Tuthlessly tears
aside the veil of %sanctity which should
cover the domestic hearth; of tine din.
the uproar, and the false pretense. He
wants to learn of some of the good
things of life, its beauties, its heroisms
and it's truth. There are many things
he does not care to know about, for they
simply add to his troubles, and there
are thousands OF things, d~isproportion-
ately emphasized for sensational effect,
which he cannot help feeling work disas,
trously on young and old, who carefully
read Them
There is food for thought in every
word Of Mr.. CAROLS editorial, and we
commend the sentiment which he has
expressed, to every editor in the state of
Wyoming, and we hope when he is in
clIned to turn his newspaper into a sew
er pipe, that he will pause and reflect,
that instead of tearing down and be-
scattering the character of other PEG
pie, it would be far better for him to put
beautiful things good thirgs, helpful
things, in his paper instead.

portant conventions ever held in this
state. From present Indications 1t
seems that there will be no opposition
whatever to the denomination of Gov.
Richards; and it is quite probable when
the time comes that there will be no op
position TO the denomination of Frank
Mondeli. There certainly ought not to
be any question about the nomination
of MI. Mondell, for if ever n man has
earned a denomination by faithful and
efficient service TO his constituents,
Mr.. Mondell is that man. 1t seems to
us that it would be the height of folly to
shelve Mr.. Mondell at this time and put
in some unframed person, no matter how
great his qualifications might appear to
be. 1t is also generally conceded that
Judge Potter will be renominated for
the supreme bench. Hon. lie Roy
Grant may also be "A candidate for renom-
nation. So far as we nave beer able to
learn the other state officers nave not
expressed themselves as to whether they
desire a denomination or not. They
have certainly been very efficient officers
and the state could do a great deal
worse in every instance than to send
these men back to their old positions.

The Wyoming Press association
will meet in Buffalo on the 2Stn and
29th of July. There will be a two
days session of the Association.
i]nterspersed with social features
by the good people of Buffalo.
The plan as outlined at present
is as follows: All of the fraternity
along the line of the Union Pacif-
ic, and Cheyenne Il Northern,
will meet at Cheyenne on the 25th
and take the train for Denver.
where they will change to the
Burlington railroad and reach
Sheridan at 1910 T. m. The
next day stages will be taken for
Butfola. 40 miles distant. After
the two days of business and pleas
ure the return will be maze to
Sheridan and the train taken for
Cody, where it is planned to make
the trip to and through the Park
as the guest of Col. w. f. Cody
who has any number of coaches,
horses, tents, etc. Five days are
to be spent i'll the Park and then
to the nearest railroad point north
and around to Ogden and home on
the Union Pacific.
George W. Perry, editor of the
Rawlins Republican, who is now
treasurer of the Association, has
very kindly consented to become
quartermaster of the expedition,
attend to the arranging of all the
details as regard expenses and
thus save each individual the
trouble of having to look after

who intends to make the trip from

Somba the Trying Conditions.
The japanese winter is most trying
on account OF its continual dampness.
but the japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almos. effort to
overcome II. The old ''bt 10 (chiv-
alrous) idea of the "sammui'' (knights)
was that it was effeminate TO feel cold,
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra "kimonos'' and
the use of a ''hibnchi" or bra2ier in
which are n few tiny sticks OF lighted
charcoal are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the ''hihnchi'
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips. which they hold over
the Goals. II is used when the house is
entirely open.
The houses. as every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood. and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They are
as apt to be open as closed during the
day. The coolies wear thin blue cotton
clothes and are always padding
through the mud. The storokevpers sit
out in their open booths. and the WON
en- go bareheaded about the streets. In
the houses of the rich the still cold be-
hind the closed panels is often more
intense than that outside in the I'M
shine, where the air is stirring.

The amount of money the state is de
amounts to the neat sum of $4,000.
At least $4,000 of this goes toward the
support of the schools of the state and
it has enabled some OF the smaller dis
tricts to dispense with any special tax
and to run their schools by means of the
county fund and what they derive from
the state fund. AS all of the state lands
that are available are now under lease
it is not likely the fund derived from

The lover of ferns will find 1t an

amount of soil adhering to their roots.
Give them. ir possible, n shady place
to grow in, and make the soil as light

1t is well worth while to get n wagon
load or two of soil from Ii woods for
the especial use of these plants. In
