Exploits of the Cavalry Leader On

One of the orderlies who had served
with the late General Joseph Wheeler
during the Cuban campaign related the
following stories about the bravery of
the ex-Confederate cavalry leader and
veteran Of the civil and Spanish-Ameri-
can wars to a reporter of the New
York Globe:

said, land that Is that my general was
all right. Honestly, I'll take my Bible
oath that he didn't know what fear was.
And cool, An iceberg wasn't in 1t with
him. One time when he was riding
along the skirmish line at the post of
San Juan, just as quiet and uncon-

THE CHANGE IN THE SUN

that it las fallen into such capable and experienced hands. The new owners are

newspaper men in the West
The management of the business will be in thu hands of James M Burnen,
who up to a few years ago, was business manager of the Rocky Mountain News

of the Sun, as both the new owners ire old time friends and co-wmkers or the
Denver press in addition, they will reside in Goldheld with their families, and
become thoroughly identified With the camps best interests, whereas the
former owner wasa nonresident.
With the former management, which, we believe, has entirely withdrawn

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you?
Or, do you want to know something OF the
composition and character of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DIR. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. Sohe
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and verifes it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman's peculiar weak
nesses, irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging-down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvice region, accom-
panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is most efficient remedy.
1t is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
the expectant mother for baby's coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and com
paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre-
