To the Young Man.

The COURIER does not aspire
to be religious paper-in the
strict meaning of the term. It's
mission is to print the ne US and
preach the gospel Of pure De-
mocracy. However, among it's
army of readers are hundreds of
young men who are worthy of
recognition, and for them we re-
print the following:
''The time is coming very fast,
indeed it has already arrived in
our commercial life, when
young man who has habits of
intemperance is narrowing very
rapidly the possible range of
openings in which may he make
living"
Not long ago a young man
lost his position with railroad
company because he had been
drinking. He had always en-
joyed good reputation, and his
work had been satisfactory. He
was popular with his associates
and with the patrons of the road.
Friends interceded and tried to
have him re-instated. He frank
ly admitted his guilt, but had not
neglected his work. He promis-
ed it would never occur again,
offering to let the company pay
his wages to his parents, and
pleaded that it was his first Of
fense. Influential citizens went
to the head of the department
and stated his case, pleaded fol
a second trial, but the superin
tendent said:
"This railroad is not in the
the business of reforming drunk
ards or reclaiming young men
Past experience has taught Vi
that it is useless for US to take
young men back in this way
And the railroad sup erintend'

We learn from the Salisbury
Democrat that Rev. P. M. Sears
of Prairie Hill returned from
Kansas City Friday, and
had two narrow escapes while
away. A bridge fell in Kansas
City just after he had crossed
over it. While returning home
the Boonville bridge collapsed
Immediately after he got across.
Keytesville is not boasting of
a boom, she is merely enjoying
her usual good health, and con-
tinues to improve and progress
in the same conservative and
sound manner she has always
done. New buildings and other
improvements have been retard-
ed by the high waters, it being
impossible to get needed material
from the cities, but now, that the
highways are being opened, the
work will proceed. The prog
ress OF our little city is not SO
manifest to the resident who
watches it day after day, but the
occasional visitor qui kly notes
the changes and advancement.
Yes, Keytesville is progressing
not booming, but ''just growing"

A man can never make a
woman sure he loves her unless
he makes her believe that he
doesn't think some other woman
pretty whom she knowsis pretty.

Couier Points.

"bricks."
The true American beauty is
she who pretty does.
The woman who loves home is
not ever going to become very
bad.
There is only one game in
which you can hold two hands at
once.
A girls education should be-
gin where charity does-at
home.
The girl who thinks too much
of herself will not get anybody
else to.
The bride is worth her weight
in gold If her father cries at her
wedding.
Sin has many artful aids, but
booze is it's never failing right
hand helper.
One of the worlds wonders is
the girl who is pretty and yet
not a fool about it.
It is a treasure of a girl who
feels that it is her duty to be
good natured and genial.
If man deserves a woman he
can win her if he will try hard
enough and not loose his nerve.
The man who were the most
anxious to declare for liberty in
1776 were mostly much married
men.
A man invariably feels at.
tracted to the girl who does not
like either icecream or choco-
lates.
1t takes very little oil to burn
the lamp of love, but the wick
must always be fresh and we'll
trimmed.
The men who really doubts
the sincerity cf womankind is
not worthy of trust in either love
or business.
None are go cheap as the pic
mic sweetheart, and no engage
ment is so uncertain as the ham,
mock proposal.
Playing with love and fire is
pastime that is both interesting
and dangerous-yet most women
like to take risks.
Thieves are not usually recog-
nized as being financiers-and
fnanciers are not always called
by their right names.
Womankind essay to like
frankness, yet almost every
woman likes the man that has a
mystery about his history.
These are the dangerous days
when the man and the maiden
turn to marriage ceremonies and
brides roses and suit leases.
It is a cheap man VINO is not
willing to do any and everything
that sweet little woman would
desire him to do as her husband.
No man ever caught a fish
without fishing for it-and a girl
worth the having is worth the
winning at any labor and all
cost.
Among women are found the
greatest selfishness and the most
unselfishness-and in the same
woman you will sometimes find
10th.
The most uncertain minded
youngster yet heard of is the
fellow who has never kissed a
girl in his life simply because he
cannot decide whether he would
rather taste the roses on he1
cheeks or bite the cherries of her
bps.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)
In the first opening of Okla
homa to settlers in 1889 the edi.
tor of this paper was among the
many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camp
ing upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much bad water, which to-
gether with the severe heat, gave
him a very severe diarrhea
which it seemed almost impossi.
BILE to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one of
his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain s
Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few min
utes 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 a fortnight.
That one little bottle worked a
complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful. The sea-
son for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For

Novel Clothes Drier.

string the lines and hang up the gar

city land is at premium, and the lit
tie yard which goes with each house
is far from being Il convenient place
to dry the washing. To preserve the

oven, with q number of sliding racks
suspended from overhead tracks, hav-
ing closed fronts and providing hori-
zontal bars on which the clothes are
hung while undergoing the baking

The investigation was ordered by Sec

other hand the post exchange was being

This aroused suspicion and when looked
into II was found that articles composing
the regular ration issued to the troops free

six times higher than 1t Is for the same
goods In the United States.
The post exchange was always well
stocked with supplies, which were sent

With the great profits derived from SELL
