His Last Hope Realized.

TFrom the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.]
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune 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 very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to.check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and diarrhoea
Remedy as 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 med
icine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this
item. For sale by all druggists.

the affirmative and Mrs. Ella Herman

The question was very closely contest

and to the point, were followed by a
talk by Mrs. e. d. Beauchamp and
closed by Mrs. Effie Fortune The
question being put to vote it was de-
cided in the negative by rising vote
of 10 to II. The program closed with
vocal solo by Miss Emma Caldwell.
The guests, however, still fingered in
the parlors discussing the club women

Conditions Are Improving.

Conditions Are improVing.
From the reports of Mr.. Brown of
the conditions appearing in the is,
lands there is considerable cause for
the congratulation of those in author
ity for the manner in which the af-
fairs are being handled. One of the
best organizations for the maintenance
of order in the islands is the
Metropolitan police force that has
been installed in the city of Manila.
This force is composed chiefly of dis
charged soldiers and through its eff.
forts the amount of crime in the city
has been lessened to considerable
extent. There has recently been a
big cleaning up and throwing out of
the opium dens, which has been a
great improvement in the conditions
of life in the city.

Luxury az n Handicap.

The history Of our country Is record
of the successes of poor boys who
seemed to be hopelessly shut off from
books, culture and education, except
that of the most meager kind-from al
most every opportunity for mental de-
velopment. The youthful Franklins,
Lincolns. Hamiltons, Garfields, Grants
and Clay tons-those who become presi-
dents, lawyers, statesmen, soldiers, ora
tors, merchants, educators, journalists,
inventors, giants In every department
Of life-how they stand out from the
pages of history those poor boys, an in
spiration for all time to those who are
born to fight their way up to their own
loaf!
The youth who is reared In luxuri-
GUS home, who from the moment of his
birth Is waited on by an army Of serv-
ants, pampered and INDUCED by over
fond parents and deprived Of every In
centive to develop himself mentally or
physically, although commonly regard
ed as one to be envied, is more to be
pitied than the poorest, most humbly
born boy or girl In the land. Unless he
is gifted with an unusual mind he Is in
danger Of becoming degenerate, par
asite, creature who lives on the la
Dor of others. whose powers ultimately
atrophy from disuse.-Success.

MARKETING CELERY.
Preparing the Plants From the Rows,
the Trenches or the storehouse.

During the early part of the season,
Or until the time for heavy frosts, mar
keting of celery will be done entirely
from the rows where the crop is grown,
later from the trenches and afterward
from the storehouse. In preparing the
celery for market from the rows where
grown, it is not necessary to remove
the entire root from the earth, but II
may be cut off just below the surface
of the soil by means of stiff knife.
Remove the outside leaves and trim
the root evenly, pack in boxes and load
on the wagon for removal to the wash
ing house. The blanching boards
should not be removed until necessary,
and the trimmed celery must not be
allowed to lie exposed to the sun or
wind for any length of time. 1t Is well
also to have piece of canvas to pro
tect the celery while it is on the wagon
being transported to the washing
house. In marketing from the trenches
the process is practically the saae as
from the rows, except that the celery
is already loosened from the soil and
the roots can be removed more easily.
In the Washroom.
Upon reaching the washing room the
celery Is Immediately placed upon a
rack consisting of wooden Stats over a
large trough and subjected to a spray
of cold water to cool 1t and to remove
the soil. After washing 1t is allowed
to drain; then it is tied in lunches of
twelve or more plants each, according
to the size The punches are packed
six in a box for first grade and eight
or nine for second or third grade.
These boxes should be practically air
tight, and lining of paper should be
placed In them before packing the eel
cry, or each bunch should be wrapped
separately. The celery should be near
ly dry before it is placed in the boxes
and throughout the entire handling
must be kept as cool as possible. The
washhouse and its surroundings should
be kept clean and free from any de-
composing materials.
shipping In the Rough.
Several of the larger eastern growers
now follow the plan of shipping in
the rough. BY this method only about
two-thirds as many punches can be
placed in a car, but the expense Of
loading is greatly reduced. The celery
is lifted from the field. II few of the out
er leaves are pulled off and the root is
trimmed roughly. after which the plants
are tied in punches of twelve to four
teen each by means of common binder
Irvine. These punches are loaded upon
low wagon and hurried to the car
before the celery mas had time to be-
come wilted-W. II. Beattie.

Lime is not a commercial fertilizer
In the strict sense, but an indirect fer
tilizer. which all farmers ought to be
familiar with and USE Our farmers
use lime about once in Ave years. They
use 1t for two reasons-first. because
they want it to act upon the insoluble
plant food and make it available. and
in the second place II is good for sour
land, land that has been farmed a good
while and an acid has developed. Ten
or twenty bushels Of lime per acre will
neutralize the acid. Sometimes clover
does not grow well. and farmers say it
probably needs lime.--Professor e. B.
