i'm IN A MN N. N Yin i 6 CAMP
HARDY LIFE. OF a BRAND-NEW
II ,l s. 4
s.. - !. WESTERN TOWN.. J.
"Tenderfoot" Who Would Look for
Luxuries, or Even Comforts, Would
Be Disappointed. - Majesty Of
Storm Of Thunder and Rain.

In Harper's Magazine Philip Verrill
Mighels gives a vivid picture of a
western mining camp Jas he saw it on
the night of his arriva al: 1T was twi-
light when we came in sight of the
brand-new mining camp, built in a
natural amphitheater formed by the
square-cut table mountains. It was a
thickly studded constellation of tents,
with struggling domiciles and dugouts
scattered about over space of ten
square miles. In their whiteness and
squareness the tents resembled count
less dice at rest where the toss of fate
and chance had left them to grasp at
foothold.
"The darkness closed in as we drove
into town. Our teamster swung his
animals at once into a large corral.
where hundreds Of mules, a dozen
COWS, scores of men, great dusty wag-
ons, and piles and heaps of baggage,
lumber, cases, rolls of bedding, gaunt
iron boilers and domestic necessities
were mixed in hopeless confusion.
II paid him my fare and told him l
would willingly pay him more could
he manage to provide me with a 6x1
accommodation in his blankets for the
night. He knew men were walking
the streets for lack Of beds in the
town and, being large-hearted team
ster, he agreed to take me in, provid-
ed there was space sufficient under
cover
" 4 sleep most anywheres in this
corral he said There's tent over
here that we may get in if there ain t
too many beds there now
I'm the semi-darkness we stumbled
over to the tent, which he entered.
A second later he let out horrible
whoop. He had bumped into some
thing alive. 1t was merely cow She
had gone inside in search either for
news from home or hay in the mat
tresses. She came out hurriedly,
bowling the writer aside in her haste
Then a match was lighted, it's waver-
ing light revealing nine rough beds in
the tent, all on the ground, in space

rolled up in order to squeeze into the
space. But I could come here and
bunk in with the teamster if nothing
more inviting could be fd1nd. He
seemed to believe there was room.
"A final storm Of the day now broke
before could make my way from
the strewn corral. In Nevada the rar-
est disturbance known is a storm of
thunder and rain. But tonight above
the brow of the somber mountains
ragged mighty war OF elements, ter
rife and ominous. Out Of clouds as
black as felt stabbed three -pronged
lightning strokes, vicious and awful
A sudden wind hurled dust and rain
and hail together in tempest on the
town. The street was ablaze with
tights from score of saloons and
gambling halls. Music arose from
these thronged abodes of carelessness.
1t swept in interrupted gushes on the
storm, laughing out its frivolity
against the stern, deep roar Of thun-
der from the hill To me it was threat
and portent, fearful and majestic, that
the gods were sounding"

Boudoir Counsel.

Coined as a political phrase "bou-
doir COUNSEL is too good to be lost
We have long wanted it to describe
those little airy, wise things which
women utter among themselves; those
pronouncements upon the affairs Of
the world spoken over the rim of a
teacup; the recommendations to great
men which never reach their ears.

MR. BAYssON PUBLISHES REsULTS=
:. OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE,
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from B
Miseries Of Indigestion. 43

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Nov
Kejoices in Perfect Freedom from:
Miseries Of Indigestion. So
Thousands Of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzhug
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from q
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating.'
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be MUCH pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down mtist be
merely question of time.
MIR. Joseph Baysson is a native Of
Alx-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain or
burning III the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat," may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
Dr.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure Of constipation.

lessly, and then burned steadily, civ
ing off much smoke.
Sosia tossed another Of the pastilles
into the room, the second one falling
into platter which lay upon the floor
near Martha. Had she been awake
she could not have failed to see the
face of the sorcerer as he tossed the
second pastille, as in doing so he was
compelled to reach so far into the
room that his whole head appeared in
the opening for a moment
A curtain was hanging before the
grated window, placed there by Mar
tha, to keep out the wind from the
shattered sash, so that but little of
the smoke from the Dastilles could
escape from the room there; and as
soon as Sosia saw the pastilles we'll
af1ame, and that the sleepers had not
stirred, he drew across the opening
through the floor of the room in which
he was blanket, which he had for
this very purpose, and across the
blanket heavy board.
He did this to concentrate and con-
fine the smoke of the pastilles, and
when he had done this he hurried
away into the darkness of the build
ing, after boldly lighting a small lamp,
muttering:
"Now to visit the retreat of those
charming innoce1ts! Now to so on
rapidly with the vengeance of Zeno
