In a prosperous town in Mexico
lives a merchant whose wealth grew
out of a combination of good luck and
drunkenness. An uncomfortable de-
sire for drink cost him position after
position. and he drifted down to Mex
leo and became a news agent. He
sold lottery tickets. lie had to report
on drawing day what unsold tickets he
had and forward them, He got drunk
the day before one of the big draw
inss. Two days later he sobered I'D
and found himself in possession of
several hundred dollars worth of un.
sold tickets. He did not possess $40
in the world. He examined the list
and found that number of the un.
sold tickets had drawn prizes aggre.
eating $4,000 in gold. He collected
the winnings, paid for the unsold
tickets and took an oath of perpetual
total abstinence. That was years
ago. He has never touched LIQUOR
since, and is to-day a wealthy man

A house filled te standing room
greeted the twenty-one graduates OF
the Canon City high school at the
opera house Tuesday night, the occa-
sion of their commencement exercises.
The opera house stage had been taste

decorated for the occasion and the
graduates grouped there, with their
bright young faces and their gradua-

One of the pleasing features of the
evening was the fact that the program
seemed to have been made up with a
view to brevity in contrast to the Or
dinarily long-drawn- out commence

and had the added recommendation of
not dragging on the audience.

NEVER GIVE UP.

1t is the monotony even
more than the pain that makes
a long illness so hard to bear.
Life is like a long rainy day.
One sees all things through
blue glasses and walks in the
Valley of Shadows. The atten-
ton is withdrawn from outside
matters and centred on ones
self. The various symptoms of
the disease, whatever it may
be, continually appeal to the
sufferers feeling and fancy
until other thoughts can get
little welcome in his mind.
Sometimes this is merely an af-
fair of few months, and again
it may drag along for some
years. It depends on circum-
stances; no two cases are alike.
The words oftenest on the lips
of these poor souls are, "Oh,
nothing does me any good; I'm
sure l shall never get well"
Yes, you will. In spite OF your
lack of faith in medicines let
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have a chance to do for you
what it has done for a multi
tude who were once as misera-
BILE and hopeless as you are.
The complaint which it cannot
benefit or cure must be incura-
BILE. This rare healer is pala-
table as honey and contains all
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. It purifies the
blood, expels the poisons, stimu-
lates and regulates every func-
ton, and infuses vitality where
there was naught before but
the feebleness and languor of
disease. No slow or doubtful
actionA Try it and thank US
for the hint. Effective from
the first dose, and inspiring as
fresh air let into a dungeon.
One bottle convinces. "You
cannot be disappointed in it"

made for the Hilo Fire Department
other than a $500 payroll and a certain
sum for the purchase and maintenance
of chemical engine Strictly con-
strued. this leaves no money to paw
incidental expenses. The money al
ready advanced by the members of
the fire department to the amount of
Sf5 cannot be repaid.
As result of this state of affairs
the engine room is in darkness and
the fire department is like a boat at
sea without sail or rudder. The
blame for the situation may be eyery-
where Or nowhere; the trouble is that
the department is seriously crippled.
NEWS NOTES.
