Character puildinr.

Character is the wool of honor from
which a coat of mail can be woven that
the swiftest arrow Of shame or the
keenest knife of disrepute cannot
pierce. Every thought that enters our
mind, every act we do and every word
We utter adds a link to the golden
chain of character. The strength Of a
steam engine can be estimated to with
In an ounce Of its limit, but 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the force Of no
BILE character. The hardest hearts are
softeRed and the most repulsive dispo-
sitions become fascinating. Our fail
ures and our successes help to form a
reputation that may be destroyed by
an external force, but the destruction
Of character can only be effected by
some internal force.-our Boys Maya
zine.

DR.. Porter had responded to a note
left at his door by farmer asking
him to go as soon as possible to see his
little boy, who had "a very bad cold"
The doctor took one look at the child
and turned to the mother.
Don't you know your boy is coming
down with measlesY he asked Sc
verely.
Eyes, doctor, knew he was" said
the woman.
'"Then what in the world did you
mean by writing me he had a very bad
coldY" asked the doctor.
The woman hesitated for moment;
then, looking at her husband, she said,
with sullen frankness, Neither him
nor me knew how to spell measles"

A Farmer can Make Money Easier in
Oklahoma than in any other part
of the United States.

Frank ID. Northrup, of Oklahoma
Farm Journal, Oklahoma City, who
was in Chicago recently, is very en-
thusiastic over present conditions in
Oklahoma and Indian Territories.
Farmers are prosperous, farm lands
are rising in value, and the country
is growing rapidly in population. II
the two territories are admitted to-
gether the new state will have nearly
1000, 600 people. If Oklahoma is admit
ted alone it will have larger populat-
ion than any other state has had at
the time of its admission.
Nearly everything is grown in Okla
homa corn, wheat, oats and cotton
being the staple products. Cow peas
and alfalfa are in great favor with far
mers and stockmen. Mr.. Northrup
claims that Oklahoma is unsurpassed
for fruit production. He sums up the
advantages of the new applicant for
statehood by saying that good far
mer can make. money in Oklahoma
easier than in any other part of the
United States,

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's cough remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in
use for over thirty years, during
which time many million bottles have
been sold and used. 1t has long been
the standard and main reliance in the
treatment OF Group in thousands of
homes, yet during this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu-
facturers in which it failed to effect a
cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
as the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. IL is pleasant to
take, many children like It. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confident

For his companions, officers and men, Italians

war1nest praise. Discipline was perfect, and
even when the ship seemed likely to be lost and
death was staring them in the face the men
worked on with steadfast cheerfulness. But it

with literary ability of no mean order His OBJ

Il or Is feet high. Under the strong pressure of
the ice against the bow the ship had backed
about 30 feet and had risen at the same time on
the ice, where she remained. with her bow out OF
water, keeling over about twenty degrees TO the
left. Great slabs of ice had been raised against
her sides and stern while she was making her
way through them At the bow all the rigging
of the foremast had broken loose, and on the
right side of the ship, which was exposed from
the middle to the bow, when she keeled over, the
outer planks of green heart were seen TO nave

that visible on the right side might also exist
