Courtshtp In Tibet.

A prominent Englishwoman who has
visited Tibet says that the people
of that country have long ago solved
the question which has been causing
much discussion in England for years.
In the lama country, she says, you
hear no cry why don't men proposei"
Every girl is married and old maids
are unknown. The matchmaking
place, or the "shambang," as it is call
ed, Is a low hut, generally situated
midway between two villages. where
maidens and young men in every class
of life congregate around small fires
which they kindle themselves. If a
man is attracted by a certain girl he
invites her and her relatives to partake
Of the warmth around his fire. This is
taken as a gentle hint that he is think
ing of proposing. The parents very
seldom if ever visit the "shambang."
The girls spin, assisted by the men, tell
stories and sing until they tire. When
man has made his choice he dresses
in his best and takes wine and food
to the parents Of the girl he has cho-
sen. If his suit is approved his food
Is eaten and his wine is drunk and
the girl Is his after he has paid small
amount of money to her father.

Ru.k,n a. an Art Critic.


1t is probably by this time pretty
generally recognized that the debt
that we owe to Ruskin is not primarily
for what he did and said about art.
1t was as moralist and a philosopher
that he was really great. OF course
when man Of high intellectual pow
ers devotes large portion of his life
to the study Of subject it is inevita-
BILE that his labors must possess GER
tain value. We may even go further
than that and say that when a man
Of high intellectual powers chooses to
write upon subject what he writes
must possess q certain value. But 1t
Is quite possible that the kernel Of the
nut may be found in his digressions
OF in light incidentally thrown upon
other matters. Ruskin's writings upon
art possess very great value, but their
value is not for what they tell US
about art, but for what they tell us
about Ruskin. Every page of Mod
ern Painters" is worth reading, not
because its author was a great art
critic, but because he was great phi
losopher and moralist. No time is
wasted which is spent in the company
Of the wise and good. W. Clarke in
Macmillan's Magazine.

AT THE SNAKE
ROCK MINE
BY FRANK II. SWEET
Copma,ht, 1901, by Frank Il. s,cect


Joyce Killian was only two weeks
from a select boarding school in the
east where the young ladies were zeal
ously guarded from all contact with
the rough outside world. Yet this
morning she was tearing down Snake
Rock canyon upon mustang, not
three months from a broncho buster,
with gaudy, cumbersome horse trap
pings that had been brought up from
Mexico more as a curiosity than for
use.
But there was no fear, no self con-
seriousness in her face, and instead of
trying to check the mustang her hand
went out from time to time to stroke
and pat its neck encouragingly as her
voice urged it on.
When she left the canyon she struck
u more level country, and here the
mustang was let out to it's full speed.
Bedrock was still ten miles away, and
she must reach it and be back to the
mine before night. 1t was already we'll
on toward noon.
Bedrock was one street town which
commenced and ended in tents, with
few implanted frame buildings in the
center. 1t was an hour after noon
when Joyce slipped from her horse in
front of the office of Gregg & Graw,
| mine brokers and operators. Both of
the proprietcrs were in, and both rose

WINTER CARE OF SHEEP.
Quarters should BE Light and Free
From Drafts.

None of our domesticated animals re-
q,nres less elaborate winter quarters
than the sheep, but nevertheless they
are often objects of dire neglect, and,
though they may be able to endure o
great deal of hardship, still it pays
to give them all the attention and colll-
fort they require. On account of this
fleece which nature has provided the
perature SO long as it is shielded from
drafts and dampness.
If located on dry and we'll drained
land it is not necessary to put wood
en- floor in the sheep pens, and, in fact,
we would prefer the earthen floor, for,
besides being cheaper, it obviates any
danger of draft from below. A liberal
amount of dry litter should be provid
ed, and if this is done and the building
is free from drafts the sheep are not
likely to suffer much from cold. OF
course the building should be reason
ably warm, though there is great dam
ger in getting it too warm. Should the
sheep be kept in a place that is so
warm that they perspire great deal
their constitutions will be weakened
and they will be particularly suscepti-
BILE to colds. Sheep will do we'll if
kept in temperature a few degrees
above freezing.
Plenty of light and good ventilation
are essential to the welfare of the
flock. The pens should be so arranged
that lots of sunlight may be admitted.
This will call for numerous windows
on the south side Of the building. Sun
light plays an Important part in the
prevention of disease and aids in build
ing up vigorous constitutions in the
animals. Darkness is also conducive
to dampness, which is injurious.
A sheltered yard in connection with
the pens, into which the sheep may
run at will, is of great value. It pro-
vides for the necessary exercise, and
during the bright sunny days the flock
will spend large portion of their time
in this yard. In mild weather hay may
be fed to them in racks in the yard.
Warmer quarters must be provided
for ewes that may lamb before warm
weather comes.-Farmer.

he wishes to have the matter arranged
without delay"
why doesn't he come down him
self" demanded Graw bluntly.
"He is very busy at the mine, and
convinced him that I could attend to
it just as WELL" Joyce answered. "He
said it was to be made out at twenty
five thousand and-your own Offer"
Graw laughed aloud.
'.rhat offer was made four weeks
ago." he said, land Temple declined
it."
you mean you will not renew it for
that?"
Exactly"
Joyce lost some of her color. What
little money she and her aunt had was
invested in the mine, as well as Hugh
Temples, and the lease ran out in ten
days.

thorized, in case you should decline to

II understand-you have heard. And

made fortune out of the mine, and

to last him a natural life time. He
does not believe much in the country
and says that Iowa is good enough
for him.
The young people of the church in
Elkhorn met last Sunday afternoon
and listened to Rev. Soholm, Of Roy
al, Iowa, who gave them many good
lessons and practical ideas for good
every day living.
A deal was made last week where
H. q. Madsen becomes the possessor
of the property of Andrew Andersen
in Kimballton. 1t has been rented
since Andrew left and Hans got a
good cheap property.
Corn picking has commenced in
this community. Teams may be seen
in many fields and the yield seems to
be beyond any thing known in years.
Nature seems to be paying back what
it took away last year.
There was splendid time at the
party at the Andrew Jacobsen home
last Sunday although we stated last
week it would be on Saturday. Mrs.
Jacobsen is wonderful entertainer
as those present will prove.
Kimballton and vicinity was billed
the first of the week for republican
speech for Saturday night by George
w. Cosson, Of Audubon, who is can
didate for county attorney and one of
the best speakers in the county.
One of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in the church in Elkhorn
gathered last Saturday to listen to
Rev. Wig, Of Blair, Nebraska, who
addressed them for two hours on ADJ
vents and Adventism. Rev. Wig is
recognized as one of the most scholar
ly men in the church and his handling
of the subject while it cut like two
edged sword was considered worthy
of his reputation and courage.
Real estate took boom in Elkhorn
last week one day when three deals
were made in about fifteen minutes
and over the phones at that. First,
Hans Petersen sold his eighty acre
farm to Mr.. Culp at S75 per acre.
Then the former bought eighty-six
acres of Hans Rasmussen at $S5 per
acre and then Mr.. Rasmussen purchas-
ed the eighty acre farm of Peter l..
Petersen at 800 per acre. Mr.. Peter
sen could not get possession of the
farm he purchased and has rented his
old place the coming year.
The great shooting contest between
the rival clubs of Oakhill, Elkhorn
and Kimballton came off Sunday in
Kimballton and Oakhill was the
winner by twenty three points. 1t
carried away the banner that Elkho1n
has carried for six years and the Elk
horn boys say that they will have tc
get it back again next year. The
boys enjoyed the whole day and had
good time. Below we give list of
shooters and the general results OF
the shooting.

Chamberlain s.cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with it's
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlains'
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectively and perma.
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no OPT
UNI or other harmful substance and
may be given as confidently to baby
as to an adult. 1t is also pleasant to
take. When all of these facts are tax
en- into consideration 1t is not sur
prising that people in foreign lands,

dy very highly and very few are will
ing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by Nick Doffing

Better Than pills.

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to the ordi-
nary cathartic and liver pills? Our
answer is-They are easier and more
pleasant to take and their effect is so
gentle and agreea BILE that one hardly
realizes that it is produced by medi-
cine. Then they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
aid the digestion. For sale at % cents

Horses Do Wen on Corn.

Corn can always be fed to horses
with satisfaction. There is limit,
however, to its use, and in such a
case the supply should not be large.
For one feed each day allow a couple
Of pounds of corn in substitution for
the same of oats. The corn will fur
nish more energy than the same weight
of oats. Remember that corn causes
horses to sweat easily if fed in large
quantities. 1t is better winter than
summer food.-Professo w. A. Henry.

Alfalfa Pasture For Hogs.

Results secured at the Utah expert
ment station show that good, thrifty
shotes will make gains Of one-t third
pound each day on alfalfa pasture
alone. Better results were secured
when grain was fed in connection with
the pasture. Results secured by prac-
teal farmers indicate that even greater
gains than those recorded in Utah may
be expected. 1t is unnecessary and in
advisable to ring the hogs as long as
the pasture is good, as they will con-
fine themselves to feeding and will not
root.
