A Remarkable Record.

~Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over 80 years, during which time
many million bottles have ben sold
and used. 1t has long been the STAN
dard and main reliance in the treat
ment of Group in thousands of homes,
yet, during all this time no case has
ever been reported to the manufacture
ers in which it failed to effect a cure.
When given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse or even as soon as the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is pleasant to take;
many children like it. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance and
may be given as confidently to a baby
as to an adult. For sale by all drug
gists.

Wyoming Rancher Discusses Holding
Over Of Marketable Stuff.

While many of the western cattle
men seem to favor the idea of holding
owe a large part of the marketable
stuff for next year, there are some
who are unable to see the advantage
in such a course
Among these latter is Martin d.
Young of Buffalo, Wyo. He says that
he has plenty of hay and some to
spare, SO that his shipping has not
been caused by any probable shortage
of feed, says the Drovers' Journal
Stockman.
In the first place, the ranges in that
country r getting so heavily stocked
that there isn't much feed left OF the
ranges for winter use. Every one has
to feed hay, and right here is where
the question arises. Will the addi-
tional money received for the cattle
make up for the high priced hay nee.
essary to be used to carry the stuff
through? Then there are the taxes,
interest o your money and risk to be
considered, to say nothing OF taking
chances on next year. If southern
Montana ranchmen had held their cat
tie over last winter the stock wouldn't
be in as good shape today as it was
last year at this time, and the expense
of winter keep would be a total loss.
BY shipping off his surplus, Mr.
Young will have $50 tons of alfalfa
to sell and this will leave him with
plenty for what stock he keeps.
Alfalfa thrives under ditch in that
country and pays well. Mr.. Young
cuts two crops and pastures the third.
1t makes excellent fall feed and puts
the cattle in fine shape for winter.
He gets his water supply from Crazy
Woman river. Grass hoppers have not
troubled the country in the vicinity OF
Buffalo this season. They take the
country by strips. They are very bad
north on the Montana line and also
south on the Powder river, but have
not struck the country in the vicinity
of the above point.
Mr.. Young thinks the cattle u
from his country will be pretty heavy
within the next month. There are
three trainloads to come from his i'm
mediate neighborhood. No one is in
any great hurry. They have a OF
grass and it is probable that more
shipments will be made late in the
season than common.

Is ADOPTED BY STATE TEXTBOOK
COMMISSION
COMPILED ON THE GROUND
Authoress Spends Months In Capitol
Making Research Of Data
and Records.

A new history has been adopted by
the state textbook commission and
according to report the selection seem
ingly is a good one and one shat will
speedily become popular. The new
book is an edition of the Pacific His
tory Stories and deals exclusively with
Montana, containing much of the his.
tory of the state anterior to the date
of the Lewis and Clarke expedition
up to the present time.
The author of the work is Mrs. Alice
Hartman, who spent several months
in the capitol making research of data
and manuscript and getting her work
ready for the publishers, a San Fran
cisco concern. The book contains 200
pages and will prove a valuable addi-
ton to the text books of the schools
Of the state. 1t is profusely illus
trated. Among the pictures is one of
the little log cabin at Bannack, where
Montana's first legislature convened,
and for the purpose of showing the
development since then and the prog
res of the state, a picture of the
new state house is also given.
The history begins with the story OF
Verendrye and carries the reader
along through the Louisiana purchase,
the Lewis and Clarke expedition, the
fur trading period, the days of the
missions, the discovery of gold, the
Indian wars and SO on until the pres
ent time. All is told in an interest
ing narrative form, making the study
Of the history a pleasure to the pu-
pill. Several poems are included in
the work, one Of which is ''The Bitter
Root" in compliment to the state
flower.
Then and Now.
In her preface to the history, Mrs.
Hartman says:
THE children of these opening
days of the twentieth century have but
a vague idea of the hardships OF the
men and women whose story is told in
the following pages. They are used
to the railroads, to the telegraph, to
the telephone, to constant companion
ship. The recent years have sent our
young men into Alaska, into isles
across the seas, into the remote cor
ners of the earth; but we can always
reach them in a few hours and we r
used to thinking in long reaches. But
when these pioneers came to Montana
there were no railways, and their jour-
ney was made either on foot, by horse
back, by slow boats, or by the slower
INCREASED wheels. There were priva-

what we learn of the wonderful deeds
of a wonderful time"

society and closes with a touching
poem, a tribute to "The Pioneers"
