A year ago last August Clark mar.

Highberger, who had graduated from
the Lincoln high school the previous
June.
Clark, like many of the blind, is a
talented musician and is always able
to command the best situations in Lin
coin as a piano tuner.
Ideas Run to Business.
Clark's ideas have always run to
business. Chancellor Andrews of the
university watched his course in col
lege with interest, and in Clarks SEN
ior year urged him to continue his
education along postgraduate lines
with the aim of devoting his life to
the interests of the blind by becoming
college professor. Clark will, how
ever ultimately engage in business.
He is on intimate terms with the
leading business men of Lincoln and
can get backing when he needs it.
Clark has always been a money-maker
and more than paid his expenses dur
ing his school years.
Philosophy of the Smile.
Contentment is the constant motto
of this blind man who Is one of the
iolliest fellows imaginable. No one
in north Nebraska smiles oftener or
mountains better spirits.

of the country. He has been a fire.

Do Not Crowd the Season

The first warm days Of spring bring
with them desire to get out and en-.
joy the exhilarating air and sunshine.
Children who have been housed up all
winter are brought out and you wonder
where they all came from. The heavy
winter clothing is thrown off and mar y
shed their flannels. Then cold wave
comes and people say that grip is ep,-
demic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than in mid-winter, as
there is more danger of pneumonia.
Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
however, and you will have nothing &c
fear, II always cures and we have
never known cold to result in pneu.
monia where il was used. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take. Children like It. Fol-
