A Habit to Be Encouraged.

The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and Group,
to which children are susceptible are
quickly cured by its use. It counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result
in pneumonia, and if given as soon as
the first symptoms of Group appear, II
will prevent the attack. This remedy
contains nothing injurious and moth
ers give it to little ones with a feeling
of perfect security. Sold by all lead
ing druggists.

FARM FOR RAISING ELK.
Colorado Rancher's scheme to Make
Money From the Deer.

Colorado Rancher's scheme to Make
- Money From the Deer.
An elk farm has been established in
Colorado about eighteen miles from
Freshwater on Black mountain, says
the Denver News.
W. III. Pigg Is the promulgator of the
idea. He passed through Denver few
days ago with twenty three elk en- route
to his farm on Black mountain. The
animals were Grated and tied in box
cars on the Midland train for Fresh
water, and. according to w. FL. En-
mons, an official OF Ne Midland road,
who saw them, they were giving as
much trouble as five times the number
of cattle or sheep,
Pigg captured the elk In Wyoming
and conceived the idea Of transporting
them to several acres of ground he
owns on Black mountain. He has in
closed this with strands of wire ten
feet high, and the animals will be al
lowed to multiply as fast as possible.
The teeth and ornaments from the
horns he expects to sell as souvenirs.
In the markets There are q number of
deer already on the farm, and these
Will be raised for slaughter also. There
will be no interference with the game
laws. as the state allows the killing of
elk or deer in private parks or property
at any time In the year
One OF the reasons for the present
high price of elk teeth is said to be be-
cause a Billings (font.) merchant who
has two bushels OF them Is saving them
as an estate for his heirs.
