His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Ge6o, Mont
In the first opening OF Oklahoma to
settlers in 1899, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
ON his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June he became
so bad he expected to die One day
one of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful. The season for
bowel disorders being at hand sug-

"After | had tried many doctors and

Don't try to cure stomach trouble by
dieting. That only further weakens
the system. You need wholesome,
strengthening food. Kodol enables
you to assimilate what you eat by di-
costing it without the stomach's aid.

A FAMOUS HIGHWAY.

The Cumberland Road, Which Wac
Projected by Henry Clay.
The most remarkable highway built
in the United States early in the nine
teenth century was the so called Cum.
berland road, which was to extend
from Cumberland, Nd, through south
western Pennsylvania, over the ALE
ghany mountains to the Ohio at Wheel
Ing, w. Va, and then on to ST. Louis.
1t was so well constructed that it is a
good road today. Henry Clay was its
protector and chief supporter, and his
services in its behalf are commemorate
ed by monument near Wheeling. We
are told by letters written at that Pc
Rod that there were sometimes TWEEN
ty gayly painted four horse coaches
each way daily. The cattle and sheep
were never out of sight, and canvas
covered wagons were drawn by six to
twelve horses
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which it runs the government
expended no less a sum than $1,000, 600.
Within a mile of it on either side the
country was a wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
as in the main street of large town.
Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
for coaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines of freight wagons, which
carried ten TONS drawn by twelve
horses and with wheels ten feet in di-
ameter.-Pearson's Magazine.

on May 81, 1902, and, therefore, lacked
only five months of three-year CON

How many Beers were killed or
wounded is not known. The British
