school-rooms devoted to ordinary

some equipment for the teaching of
woodworking and other work of
value to farmers, and it is expected
to have a room for teaching domestic
science in a practical way. Agricul-
ture advances at every point. It will
advance rapidly or slowly in accord
ance with the will of the people as
manifested in works. Tennessee has
joined Massachusetts,, Ohio and Wis

An Apt Illustration.

An Inspector of schools has been
giving in the Humanitarian a selec-
ton of the leading 'howlers" of his
acquaintance. The shrewdest of all
the answers came from a very small
boy, who was asked to give a text
which forbade a man to marry two
wives. Without a moments pause
he replied, "No man can serve two
masters."-Household Words.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for more sickness and
suffering than any other disease,
therefore, when through neglect or
other causes, kidney trouble is per-
mitted to continue, fatal results are
sure to follow.
Your other organ may need at
tention-but your kidneys most, be-
cause they do most and need atten-
ton first.
If you are sick or "feel badly" be-
gin taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, because as soon as
your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.
The mild and immediate effect of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney and bladder remedy, is soon
realized. It stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. Swamp-Root will set your
whole system right, and the best
proof of this is a trial.
DEAR SIRs: OCT. 9TH, 1901.
"Ihad been suffering severely from kidney trou-
bic. All symptoms were on hand my former
strength and power had left me I could hardly
drag myself along. Even my mental capacity was
giving out, and often l wished to die. 1t was then I
saw an advertisement of yours in a New York pa
per, but would not have paid any attention to it,
had it not promised a sworn guarantee with every
bottle of your medicine, asserting that your Swamp
Root is purely vegetable, and does not contain any
harmful drugs. I am seventy years and four
months old, and with a good conscience I can re-
commend Swamp-Root to all sufferers from kidney
troubles. Four members of my family have been
using Swamp-ROOt for four different kidney dis
eases, with the same good results"

Not many descriptive articles can
throw so much light upon child-labor
in the South as does a little story in
the April McClure's called "Who
Was Her Keepers" The author,
Mary Applewhite Bacon, is, her edi-
tors tell us, a native of Georgia, and
thoroughly familiar with the condi-
tions she describes. The central fig
ure of the story is a seven-year-old
girl, whose family leave a Georgia
farm to live in a cotton mill district,
having been promised "a good house
to live in, painted white, with three
rooms in it," and "cash money every
SADLY night" The point of the story
is the tragic effect on her of long
hours and nightwork within the noisy
shadows of the clanking mill ma
chinery.

Advice on Choosing an Occupation.

editor of The progressive FaEnheI
Young man, is your mind bent on
making money to get a start! With
.bis view of things you will not make
u,,,ob of a start. Do you love to
hire Yourself to a boss and be a ser
want to your boss? If so, go on your
own way.
Choose that business that suits you
host. that you can love the work, and
work at that because you love the
uork-not because of the money
that IS in it, but because you love the
work. Then push it constantly and
in due time you will make it a sue
cess. It is work we'll directed hat
leads to success. The work that you
do not love you had better stop be-
cause you take no interest in the
work. You must love the work so
as to put your whole mind on it.
When you start in one thing with
2 view of leaving that and going
into some other business you make
a mistake. Begin where you r
and with what you have. 1t is bet
fer to start with small means; then
Won can control it and learn econo-
my as you go. There are three
houses in sight of my home. One
of them cost three thousand dollars;
the other two were more than they
could pay for. All three were given
up by the time they were ready for
occupancy, or a short time there
after. All of the young men could
have controlled small means, but
large dealings broke them. I sold a
lot to a man of small means and to-
day he has a fine house and all paid
for. because he took care of small
things from the beginning and he
uses economy to this day; he has a
son and a daughter we'll educated,
and it was all done by economy in
the use Of small things.
Well, learn to take care of little
things so as to let nothing be lost
for want of your attention. In old
times there was a tease, "You r too
big for YOUR breeches." With a will
to work, there is always a way to
success, if you love your work.
You can choose any occupation
you please, if you love the work and
learn economy, you may make it a
success. One thing you doubt and
that is farming. Show me the
sprightIy young man that really loves
the work and has learned economy,
and YOU Will find him in after life
a success. When you hear a man
that Is often saying, farming don't
pay" that man may think he loves
the work and he may be mistaken.

ARKANSAS VALLEY LANDS
Near Holly, Colo. The Farm Of
the Future

Is the one which owes its origin, it's
maintenance, its all to irrigation. These
lands, watered AS they are from the Am
ity Canal, that taps the Arkansas river
at point Just north OF Prowers county
line and throughout its entire length Of
over 100 miles is constructed without a
single iume. Thus it is proof against
fioods or freshets and loss by washouts,
which so often happens in oheaply built
canals and at times when the loss Of
water for few days means the loss OF
crops. These lands are not entirely de
pendent for their supply Of water upon
the Arkansas river. There are few
weeks in the year in spring and fall when
the river has not its normal head OF
water. This happens to be at a time
when the farmer needs an abundance OF
water. Immense reservoirs, the largest
on this continent, have been constructed
as an additional resource and proof
against possible drought. The company
constructs the main laterals from the
canal to the farmer without expense to
them and turns them over TO the farm
ers, who only have to construct their
small laterals to their own land and man
age and control them to their own ad-
vantage.
These lands are offered for sale at pri-
ces and terms that will interest anyone
wanting home for himself and family,
or as an investment. Quite number Of
purchasers have paid for their land from
their crops in a single year. These lands
can be bought now for $40 to s6o per
acre with both water rights the Amity
Canal and the Reservoir water rights.
Ten per cent of the purchase price cash;
the balance in seven equnl annual pay
ments at 6 per cent interest. The lands
are OF rich sandy loan, generally level.
For full information as to these lands
and for railway transportation to sec
them, write or call on Schenk & Pope,
local agents, Elbert, Colo.

Church Notes.

DIR. Hunter preached good gospel
sermon Sunday evening at the Presby-
terian church to a good sized congrega-
ton, and Mrs. Hunter favored us with a
song, Lead, Kindly Light" The doc
tors wife has sweet voice and her put
ting the right spirit into the song had
the desired effect upon the audience.
After the sermon Rev. Hunter put sew
eral questions to the congregation and
the vote on the question ''Shall we CON
solidate with the Elizabeth church,
stood five yeas and three nays. Elbert
people do not seem to be very enthusias-
tic about the consolidation and DIR. Hun
ter stated that at Elizabeth the vote
stood six to six. In all probability no
further action will be taken in the
matter.
Mrs. S. B. Mowrey was elected super
intendent of the Sabbath school by a
unanimous vote. 1t is hoped that the
teachers and scholars will rally around
her in building up the school.

evening on "Chris in the Storm"

Look Out for Him.

In no uncertain terms does the Canon
City Clipper jump upon one Robinson,
who is importuning the school boards to
buy his desks, maps, globes and school
supplies. 1t seems that when super
intendent turns down this fellow he
commences to bulldoze, and declares
that the superintendent will never again
be hired il he does not endorse these
goods, and asserts that any law author
izing the accounts of school board to
be audited by the county superintendent
must be voted down. Such a measure
was introduced at the last general as
sembly-but it was killed. and Robinson
says it cost him personally $50 to kill it.
just where he spent this vast sum Of
money he does not say, nor does the
Clipper throw any light upon it. 1t will
be a good plan il this man Robinson gets
into this community to turn him down
