Wakeful Children.

For a long time the two year old child of Mir. P. l.. McPherSon, 59 N. Tenth St., Harrisburg, Pa, would sleep but two or three hours in the early part of the night, which made it very hard for her parents. Her mother concluded that the child had stomach trouble, and gave her half of one of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which quieted her stomach and she slept the whole night thru. Two boxes of these Tablets have effected a permanent cure and she is now well and strong. For sale by F. J. Wattron.

Fort Apache
 Road Completed.

Surveyor A. G. Pendleton, who has had charge of the construc- tion of the government wagon road from the saw-mill on the Indian reservation to Fort Apa- che, returned home on Tuesday, the road having been finished on March 1.
 Work was begun on December & and progressed without hin drance from bad weather, with a force of about 13O Indians em- ployed. James Broderick, of Globe, who has had much ex- perience in such work, had charge of the rock gang.
 Some changes will have to be made in grades on the old DOT tion of the road between Rice and the sawmill, which will soon be undertaken by Mir. Pendleton. Then t ere will be a frst-class road for teaming all the way from Rice, on the G. V. & N. rail road, to Ft. Apache, a distance of fifty miles, and most of the hauling for Ft. Apache will doubtless be transferred from the northern route from Hol- brook, which is ninety miles over a road almost impossible four months of the year, to the new road from Rice.-Globe Belt.

HER FIRST FAMILY FUNERAL
Something Entirely New to the
Widow and 1t Made Her
Nervous.

The afternoon was hot and sultry. Every
passenger in the waiting train was hopping
his brow and wishing that the train would
hurry out of the station, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The oppressiyeness was made doubly op-
pressive by the entrance of a woman in deep
mourning.
I'D think she'd melt under that hot vel, -
whispered one girl to another.
All eyes centered on the woman of sor-
row. The somberness of her garb made the
train seem almost sepulchral. But the worst
was yet to come. A man, who had been no
ticed as her companion, had stopped at TIE
cooler to get drink. The woman quietly
arose, stepped into the aisle, and called,to the
man:
Felix, don't forget the body. It'd be an
awful joke if the. train got to Calvary and
him not aboard"
Everybody in the car shuddered. Then
she turned to a woman sitting behind her
and said:
Its my husband. It's the first time 1
ever had anything to do with this kind of a
thing, and it makes me nervous"
