A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season OF the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain'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 kept at hand
and given as soon rs the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied 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 cold al :
pears. There is no danger in giving
it to children for it contains no harm
ful substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it.
Buy it and you will get the best. 1t
always cures. For sale by the Hor-
ton Co.

a few weeks ago letter was received
on Jackass Hill from Mark Twain who
retains loving remembrance of his old
stamping ground. The missive started
some of our Oldest Inhabitants 10 telling
stories that were told by Twain, Town
send and other celebrities when they
made tie "hill" their home. The follow.
ing is one of the stories and is credited
to Jim Townsend. "Shortly after Jim's
arrival in the community prospector
came up on the "hill'' and built himself
cabin. The newcomer proved to be q
very close fsted ard penurIous fellow
and was so sparing of lumber that he
built the cabin SO small that he had to
grease himself to get in and then get a
corkscrew to pull himself out. = Mother

Bachelor Cow
Girls.

The Pilgrim has the following to say
of the Bachelor Cowgirls of Nevada's
sister State. Oregon:
THE eight bachelor daughters of
William Walker, the owner of big cat
tie ranch in Oregon, do almost all the
work of caring for the horses and cattle
maintained by their father"
@Clad 10 picturesque but practical
costumes of duck, buckskin and plain
calico, they cut out, cattle almost daily,
break and train unrlly horses, and, if
night overtakes them in the mountains
or far out on the prairies, curl up in
their saddle blankets and sleep the sleep
that knows no fear Withal, these dar-
ing bachelor girls are quiet hammered
and womanly, and they are only unmar
ricd because every one Of them is in love
with her present lot"

Despite the noble work done by men % various as Ruskln and Stevenson, Puter and Newman. one feels that tho full glory of prose, as a medium for beauty. was not realized by them Is not y realized save by few. Prose Is not yet written as frankly for its own sake as poetry. 10 ought to be. or course I do not mean that it ought not to be continued as a vehicle for every kind of didactic purpose. But it ought al.D to be used by those who could well use it SO for the expression of merely lyrical feeling.
 In modern English prose there are, il is true. many lyrical passages, but they are always sandwlched Opologeucally In the midst of oxposltory writing. The only separate prose lyrics that can re- call written in English are translations from another language, such as Mir An- drew Lang's tronsla ion from TheOcri- tus. recommend that dear little book as an incentive to young writers of prose. It will embolden them to be merely lyrical, thus hastening the day when writers of prose shall be as spe- clnc and distinct a class as poets are now.-LOndon Academy.

How wndc Hampton Used Cigars.


 Wade Hampton never smoked cigars In a rational way like the rest of man. kind. Instead he took the cigars as he bought them and crushed them to pow der between the palms of his hands and made use of the fragments as the old regime usc snun. The coarse bits were thrown away, and in the military committee room. of which be was SO long an occupant, there was always a pile of cigar shavings on the floor be- side his chair. The finest cigars in the market were none too good to be treat d thls way. and more than one genu- inc cigar smoker has been moved Co cX- Iostulation as he has seen Hampton dispose of a fine weed In such an unccr- cmOnious way.

FLOWER AND TREE.

There is pink variety of lily Of the
valley which is often grown in Eng
land, though seldom seen with us.
A palm tree which grows on the
banks Of the Amazon has leaves thirty
to fifty feet in length and ten to twelve
feet in breadth.
Standard and 'stand by" plants and
varieties should be the rule of the be
ginner. Experiment with new flowers
and varieties only in small way.
Study color effects if you would have
a really beautiful garden. The lowell
est colors often neutralize each other
sadly. Clear reds and magentas, for
instance, should not be close neigh
borS.
Know the plants as you would peo-
pie if you would have them respond
fully. Find out their habits, their
likes and dislikes. The study is one
Of unfailing pleasure, and it pays rich
interest in perpetual bloom.
Linnia plants are good for low hedges.
Plants a foot and half apart will soon
run branches together, and the foliage
is dense from the ground up. The
flowers are almost as brilliant as those
of the dahlia and are produced freely
from July to late October.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES.
Don't Waste YOur Youth, Use IL In
Getting IN Education.


How the handicapped millionaire en-
vies boys in school or college and would
give half his wealth for the chance to
lay q foundation which they are think
ing of spurning. How many an embar-
raised man in public life longs to re-
live boyhood that he may correct the
mistakes of his youth. How much more
he could make of his life, of his posi-
ton, if he had cultivated his mind
when yOungl He does everything at
disadvantage. His grasp of documents,
speeches and books is weak because he
does not know how to study. He must
employ literary secretary to save him
self from blunders of grammar, errors
in history and biography or in politi-
cal economy He is forced to petty eX-
pedients to hide his ignorance.
Oh, what pity it is to see splendid
ability made TO do the work Of medioc
rityl A man of magnificent parts, feel
ing that he is by nature intended to
shine as leader, is pitiable when
compelled to do the work of an inferior
and plod along in hopeless Obscurity.
The eager unrest Of youth that chafes
at restraining school walls and longs to
rush to action makes havoc with count
less careers. In after days the old prov
erb will ring mOckingly In memory:
He that will not when he may
When he would he shall have nay

To rob oneself Of the means of en-
