BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make It the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken TO restore a perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy. healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and com
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.
1t makes and keeps the children we'll.

A Fine Animal.

Watson, Of Prosper township,
has recently purchased from the
"Browndale FARM Of II. f. Brown,
Minneapolis, one Of his best Scotch
yearling Short Horn bulls, viz "Roy-
al Scotchman,' a fine dark roam, by
his show bull "Royal Banner" which
sold at his 23d annual annual public
sale in 1892 for ST., sos. 90; dam, Har-
mans Athone 4th, a straight Cruick-
shank cow of rare breeding and an
extra good mixer. There are no bet
ter bred Scotch bulls than Royal
Scotchman and he promises fair at
this age to equal his famous sire,
Royal Banner; same in color, make
up and general symetry. MI. Watson
surely has the right start in a bull to
head an extra held Of Short HON
cattle, and with fair treatment and
perseverance it is predicted that he
will be successful in South Dakota,
for there is no question but both OF
the Dakotas are Oon to econ the
leading stock states in the Union.

!. DIED TUESDAY NIGHT
James Ewart, a Dawson County
Pioneer. Passed Away as a Re-
suit Of Bright's Disease.


- A particularly sad death was that
Of James Ewart, who passed away
Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock at
the hospital of Mrs. Hale, on north
Main street. Mr.. Ewart has been
more or less i'll since last August,
but he has been confined to the house
and his bed only for a month or six
weeks, his ailment, Bright's disease,
taking on a more serious form and
terminated in his death.
James Ewart was born in the
ty Of Down, Ireland. June, 1S47. He
came TO this country with his parents
when he was 10 years old and located
with them in Delaware county, Iowa.
With the early movement of settlers
to Dakota Mr.. Ewart came to this
country in 1882 and took up govern
ment land in Lisbon township and
farmed for a number Of years, his
brother, John, also being engaged
with him. The deceased was a strong
Christian man, and has followed re-
ligious paths since his earliest days.
He united with the Scotch Presby-
terian church in Ireland and after
coming to Iowa be Joined the Reform
Presbyterian church., and then united
with the Methodist church after
coming to Dakota. Mr.. Ewart was q
quiet, retiring man who possessed d
strong, gentle character. His life
among his friends and acquaintance
has been such that he possessed the
friendship of everyone and treated
them all with the fairness OF a man
whose honesty was never brought in
to question. Because of his retiring
disposition there we're many fine
points in his character that did not
reach the public gaze, but his init.
mate friends were aware OF them,
and words Of high praise are spoken
Of his life
He leaves a sister, Mrs. Geo. Lit
tleneld, of Hopkinton, Iowa, John
b., of this city, and Hugh, of Wahoo,
Neb., who are left to mourn his loss.
The former was with his brother
when death came.
Funeral services of a brief charac-
Ter were conducted by Rev. Fl. S.
Wilkinson at the hospital Wednes-
day and the remains we're taken back
to Hopkinton, Iowa, where the fun
eral and interment will be held. The
remains were accompanied by John
Ewart. The following were the pal
bearers: Jos. Mclaughlin, E. G.
Patterson, W. S. Haskell, W. E.. Lott,

A Precocious Boy.

| remember, writes correspondent OF
London paper, hearing Lord Dutferin
tell the following story Of the late Sher-
idan Lee Fanu Sheridan father-the
archbishop of Meath, l think-was great
stickler for punctuality, a regard his son
did not share. One morning young Sher-
idan, then about eight years old, descended
unusually late for breakfast and was met
at the door by his father, watch in hand.
is this right, sir is this right? de-
manded the prelate in stern tones. Il
don know, sir replied Sheridan, look
ing at the watch and pretending to think
the question applied to it and not to his
conduct. but | rather think it's fast.
For this impertinence young Sheridan
was condemned to write an essay on 1.-The
Three Ages of Man Here is what he
wrote
There are three ages of man.
'First When he is engaged in plan
ming every conceivable mode of wicked
ness. This is known as the age of limo
cence.
Second When he is putting his ne
furious plans into operation. This Is called
the prime of manhood
Third. When he becomes anxious
about his soul and turns to religion This
is dotage

Infant Geniuses.


When he was but schoolboy in the

was known as one of the best classical
scholars in Europe
At eight Louis de Bourbon, prince Of
Condo, was a perfect Latin scholar Three
years later he published a work on rhetoric,
aud at seventeen he was appointed COVER

Fenelon displayed SO much preeocity
that he won fame as a preacher Of rare
eloquence when he was but fifteen years
of age. Pascal wrote treatises on acoustics
at twelve, at which age he was busily
occupied in constructing elaborate circu-
lating machines, and at sixteen he pub
lished his treatise on Comic Sections,
which Descartes refused to believe was not
the work of great master.
John Stuart Mill was studying Greek
at three, had practically mastered the

Siamese Beliefs.

The Siamese are very suPeTstltlous
people, says Ernest Young, author OF
the Kingdom Of the Yellow hule.
They have many peculiar explanations Of
natural phenomena. Thunder, for in
STAGE, is the sky crying. They believe
that in the realms above is a horrible giant,
whose wife has a violent and uncertain
temper When they quarrel the echo OF
his voice comes in long, rolling notes FROM
the clouds. If he is very angry be throws
his Ratchet at his unruly spouse, and when
this pOnderous weapon strikes the floor OF
heaven the thunderbolt falls through and
comes to earth.
Failing stars are accounted for by the
fact that the angels occasionally indulge in
torch throwing at one another When
these same beings all insist upon getting
into the bath at once the water sPlasheS
oyer the side, and it rains, The winds
that sigh in the night are the voices Of
babies that have lost their way 10 their
travels to the land beyond the grave.
.'When a Siamese dies he Is not buried,
but his corpse, fully dressed aud then
wrapped in winding sheet, i placed IN
sitting posture in copper urn \ tube
is placed in his mouth ard through this
mixture Of quicksilver aud honey is poured
into the body In this way it is kept tor
long time, often for years. Eventually
it Is burned, and the ashes are carefully
preserved. The souls Of those whose bones
at least are not burned are supposed to
become slaves of horrid taskmaster with
head like dog, human body aud the
temper Of a fend He sits for all time
with his feet in the fires of hell, and it is
the duty of bis slaves to keep these fires
from growing too hot To DO this they
must carry water in open wicker baskets
through all eternity
