The Vampire City.
BY Reginald Wright Kaufman


Come with me into Babylon! Here to
my woodland seat
Over the miles she lures and smiles
the smile of the bittersweet;
! hear the distant cadence, the siren,
song she sings;
| smell the incense burning where her
great red censer swings,
II.
Out of the night she calls me, the
night that is her day;
see the gleam of her million lights a
thousand miles away;
As the roar Of a mighty army hear
her pulses beat
With the tramp of the restless van
dals, the rush Of the wearied
feet.

A Wonderful compound-cures Piles,

-
Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because
so little is required to cure. 1t cures
piles after years of torture. 1t cures
obstinate cases of eczema. 1t cures
all skin feelings. 1t cures skin erup.
tons. 1t heals cuts, bruises, scratches
and abrasions without leaving a scar
1t cures permanently. Laramie testi.
mony proves 1t.
Mrs. Chris Larsen, 211 south First
street, Laramie, Wyoming, says: 1.-TWO
years ago Mr.. Larsen was thrown out
of a buggy and one of his legs was Sc
yerely bruised in several places. He
doctored and tried various remedies
but every treatment failed to do any
good. Seeing Doan's Ointment highly
recommended in the newspapers, he
procured a supply of the Laramie Drug
company and the first application
brought relief from the irritation. A
continued use of the preparation heal
ed the sores and effected a complete
and permanent cure"

The following charming description
of the beautiful new home recently
completed by DR.. Hebard and DR.. Wer-
geland is from the pen of Mrs. Hen
derson, the clever society editor of
the Cheyenne Leader: During a re-
cent visit to Laramie it was my pleas
ure to visit one of the very attractive
homes in Laramie, which the four hap
py occupants are pleased to call The
Doctors Inn Its first floor is the home
of DR.. Brown of the state university
and his charming wife and on its airy
upper floor are the luxurious apart,
ment of DR.. Grace Raymond Hebard,
librarian and secretary, and DR.. Agnes
Wergeland, French professor in the
state university. Two women of the
household not only planned this arts.
tic home, but did much of the actual
work in the interior decoration. Or.
Hebard and DR.. Wergeland arose at 8
O'Clock during the summer and their
loss of morning maps and painstaking
work seems to have been worth while.
Georgia pine masquerades as weather
ed oak of the most beautiful grain and
coloring in all the woodwork of the
house. except the hall, which is finish
ed in the natural wood. The stain was
carefully used, rubbed and sand.paper-
ed in a ann seldom attempted by
the tradesman. The home-like living
room and library are one, and the din
ing room is large, suggestive of the
hospitality of the doctors. There Is a
small reception room. Weathered oak
and loaded glass are used with artistic
effect and a rare old pewter tea service
adds to its grandeur. The kitchenette
is a model of convenience and well
utilized space, with its numerous cup
boards, shelves and tables. The bath
room is caintily finished in white enam.
ell, which is DR.. richards own work,
as well as the medicine cabinet. The
furnishing of this unique home is in
perfect harmony and carefully select
ed pictures hang upon its walls. The
bric-a-brac on the mission shelves in
DIR. Hebard's room is rare and beauti-
ful. The balcony has tarpaulin can
opy and curtains for summer use when
out of door sleeping is liked. Patriot

realize that whereas our Government
can spend hundreds of millions, with
out stint, in foreign lands, the bene-
hts whereof are not visible in this
country, there ought to be much
more generous recognition of the
needs of our own great and important
works of internal Improvement, by
the Congress of the nation
This would seem to be a propitious
time tor stirring up and more fully
developing a sentiment throughout
the Mississippi Valley, for both ade-
auate appropriations for the purpose

OF dong permanent work in river
Improvement instead of perpetual
