HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED :
From The Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,
n.the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor 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
camping upon his claim, he en-
countered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat gave
him a very severe diarrhoea which
it seemed almost impossible 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 ber-
lain''s Collie, Cholera and Diarrhcea
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 medicine was soon I
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That on
little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel CRATE
full. The season for bowel disorders
being at hand suggests this item.

"TaIk About Wind"

Talk about the wind up north"
said Representative Southland of Ohio,
who has just returned from trip to
Texas and Mexico, ut never started
compared with the wind in Texas.
Why, at Ell Paso it blows a gale all
the time, and the gale is full of sand.
Enough sand is blown out of Ell Paso
alone each: day to fill the great lakes.
''The court records of 81 Paso show
that when the city was building levees
along the Rio Grande, which is dry
most Of the time, but a. terror in flood
time, one contractor dumped $4,000
cubic feet of dirt along the river.
Next morning the dirt was gone, abso-
lutely wiped up and blown away. The
contractor sued the city for his
money and proved he put the dirt
there. The court held that the dirt
was not there then and refused to
allow him any thing. Talk about

Why the Hen Cackles.

The accepted explanation of the
cackling in which hen INDUCES at
ter laying an egg is that she is 80
pleased that she wants everyone to
know it. The rooster answers the
cackle with a crow, and this is taken
as further indication that both are JIM
mensely proud of the achievement.
This explanation is not tenable. If
the question is considered fairly, it is
very easy to see that instinct would
teach the hen that to cackle is to call
the attention of the enemy to both
herself and her embryo offspring,
which she would naturally avoid do
ing. The cackle is relic of long BY
gone days when fowls were not do
1nesticated, and ran about wild. When
the hen wished to lay, she retired
from the rest of the fowl community
and performed the task. By the time
she was ready to rejoin the common
wealth the other members had wan
dered some distance, and she did not
know where they were. She waited
till she had gone some distance from
the egg in order not to endanger it,
and then she cackled, after also hav-
ing taken a good look around to as
sure herself that no enemies were

A Trip Around the World.

Did you ever play the game called
"Trip Around the World? It is the
very thing for childrep's party. Each
player should be provided with a
small notebook and pencil: Blank
dance cards, with the tiny colored
pencils attached, are pretty for this
purpose. The leaves should be num-
bered to correspond with various ar
ticles distributed about the room The
game is then to guess the country or
city designated by each of these ar
ticles. A tiny jar of cold cream stands
for Greece, miniature pot Of baked
beans for Boston; bottle of perfume
for Cologne; cigar for Havana, etc.
The guesses should not be made too
difficult, but just enough so to brush
up the memories of laggard geograph-
ers. Prizes should be awarded to
those who secure the greatest number
of correct answers. A book of travels,
a travelling cup, a book for notes, good
pictures of the places named, are all
appropriate souvenirs. When the COM
pany is marshalled for supper let the
little ones find their partners by
means of duplicate postal cards.
These can be had now in the shops
and are very pretty and interesting in
themselves. They boy who gets a
Pixies Peak card takes out the girl
who receives a similar souvenir Of
Uncle Sam, etc. For the table tiny
suit cases or little steamer trunks of
bonbons or foreign conserves and i'm
ported fruits make pretty and appro-
pirate favors.

And she is all my own-to keep!

Fatal Diseases Most Prevalent in Ger
tain Geographical Only
Three of Every One Hundred Die Of
Old Age.

<Ihe causes of death are to large
extent'a matter of geography, declares
one OF the latest reports of the Census
Bureau at Washington.
A map of the United States has
been prepared under the direction of
William R. Merriam, director of the
twelfth census, in which the country
is divided into twenty-one districts.
Inese districts have been marked to
show the diseases that are most fatal
in different parts of the country.
For instance, the most fatal diseases
in the district in which New York city
is situated are consumption, pneumo-
MA, Bright's disease, apoplexy, bron-
chitis and diphtheria.
The most sensational deaths occur
in the Pacific coast district region, iN
the State Of washington. This is the
only district in which gunshot wounds
are reported as a prevalent cause of
death. Heart disease, suicide and
apoplexy show there the largest num-
Der of victims, and the record is held
for the greatest number of deaths
from alcoholism.
Lung troubles appear to be most
numerous along the Atlantic coast
from New York to Virginia and along
the Mississippi river from New Or
leans to the Ohio river.
Typhoid fever and malaria come
far down on the list in mountainous
districts, but appear at the top in
| North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
and Indian Territory.
Although only three out .of every
100 die of old age, there are few for
tunate' districts where old age rivals
consumption and malaria as the cause
OF death: Among these favored spots
are the Catskills, Adirondacks, Green
mountains, parts Of Michigan and Wis
consin, and the region on either side of
the Missouri river.
| Childbirth, Group and whooping
cough appear to be most dangerous in
the districts which have the least pop
ulation and where, presumably, medi-
cal aid is most difficult to obtain.
Cancer heart disease and apoplexy
are more to be expected in mountain
GUS parts of the country than in the
level districts.
In eight of the twenty-one districts
rheumatism reaps large harvest of
death, noticeably in the thinly settled
states where the inhabitants are most
exposed to the sudden changes of the
weather.
Generally speaking, it appears that
the majority of deaths in the country
are caused by climatic conditions
while those in the cities are caused
by social conditions.
The farmer on the Dakota prairie
for example, needs to guard against
rheumatism, but not against malaria
or heart disease.-Hearst's Chicago
