HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

~ tIc Sthttdalf SCDOY 4hONt.t
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa.
per was among the many seekers af-
ter fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him n small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect of the medi-
cine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. The one
little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.

at hand suggests this item. For sale

DOING WHAT WE LIKE.

Doing what we like is no doubt
one OF the pleasantest of occupa.
tions, but few of US attain that
privilege without years of appren
ticeship and experience at hard
and disagreeable tasks. About
the worst thing that could happen
to most of US would be to be per.
mitted to do just what we liked,
before we learned, what was the
right thing to do, and a greater
wrong could not be done a bow
or girl than to give them absolute
self control. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred every failure is
due to the unframed and inexpe.
rienced doing as they liked. The
boy who fishes and hunts, plays
or runs the streets day and night,
without restraint, is the vagabond
in embryo, and only needs the
focusing OF circumstances TO start
him out as a fully fedged hobo.
The girl who lies in bed and
sleeps, while her mother cooks, OF
sits in an easy chair and reads a
novel, while the old lady per
forms with the broom, blossoms
out into a butterfly, and is as com
plete a failure in her way as the
man loater, or weary Willie.
Within us all is a power to cul
tative a love for honest work, be
it mental Or manual. With ease
of execution and perfection, we
grow to like it, and no combina
ton under the sun, than that o:
doing what we like, and liking
what we do, is surer of spelling
success. Find out your natural
bent of mind, in the way of use.

five thousand Dollars invested in

farmers. We have enough con,
victs in the Southern states to
raise 100000 bales of cotton; this
would be about three per cent of
the entire crop raised in the Uni
ted States. We know that this
large increase in production by
convict labor would cause a loss
OF three per cent on the price, or
a loss on each bale Of about S1.20.
1t seems to me that all the stout
~convicts should be worked on the
public roads, where their labor
would benefit all, and hurt no
one. In this way the convict
would have the protection of the

abused. However. there is no
