parted this life eight years ago today
July 1lth, 1901.
He has crossed the stormy river.
And has gained the radiant shore;
Where no heart with grief can culver,
And all parting scenes are DER.
Heaven retains now my treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keep;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
While my beloved husband sleeps
What pain and grief he suffered here,
None of us will ever know;
But Jesus took him home with Him,
Where no tears will ever flow.
All the pain and grief are over.
Every restless tossing passed;
he Is now at peace forever,
Safely home 10 heaven at last.
miss him so and always VIII,
No one his vacant chair can gu;
pray that when my call shall cone,
To meet him In that heavenly home.
By bis loving wife, Bette Rollins.

Eat What

Kodol will digest it.

this you need TO fully digest IL.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
II Is weak.
You must eat In order TO live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet. because the
body requires that you eat a suffic-
lent amount OF food regularly.
But this food must be dIgested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do II,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way 70 do is TO eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help IT by giving 1t rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Denver's Stock Show

Denver has just closed one of the
most successful stock shows ever
held in a city double its population.
1t was only three years ago that Den
yer held its first exhibit of fine stock
in a circus tent. The exhibits were
so encouraging and the interest taken
by every one was 80 great that they
were encouraged to make it an annual
affair. The large steel and concrete
pavilion erected the past summer,
seating 1900 people, was packed
the last four days of the annual show
which closed last Saturday night.
The attendance was something most
encouraging and while the pavilion
was thot by many to be too large, it
has already proven that it is not large
enough. An average of 10000 people
every "a hours saw the fine cattle,
the blooded horses, sheep and hogs
that filled all the available space at
the command of the exhibition
grounds. Exhibitors of blooded
stock focked in from every state west
of Chicago.
Heretofore the West has had to go
to Chicago and Kansas City to attend
a stock show. Tney will have to do
so no longer, for they have a show at
home that will soon rival anything
Chicago has ever had. 1t is a great
thing for the West that it IAN show
it's stock so conveniently and at SO
little expense. A haul of 800 to 1000
miles takes the shine out of any ami
NAL and depreciates Its value.
1t is now certain that Denver will
soon rival Omaha and Kansas City as
a stock market. Packing houses are
having success in Denver and more
are certain to follow. Then, again,
Denver ITSELF is growing rapidly and
the large market for cattle and hogs
which now exists will increase with
every year. The long and tedious
haul to Omaha and Chicago for our
western cattle is over and stockmen
will find a market at Denver that will
enable them to dispose of their cattle
and sheep in better condition and
also at d better price.

rumors that it will not pass. The
poor legislator is now between the
devil and the deep sea-. If he votes
for the measure he will earn the v
lasting enmity of the saloon men,
who have great power in Wyoming.
If he votes against it he will be a

for what they want, but demand it.

h a collected quite a heap of
fuel at the entrance of the hollow,
when she remembered that the place
would first have to be cleared of its
accumulation of bones. A glance at
her companions showed that they
were in the midst Of tasks even more
able TO do such things: yet, as Mr..
Blake had said, others had to do them.
1t was now her time to learn. She
could see him smile at heI hesitation.
Stung by the thought u his half
contemptuous pity, she ca lght up a
forked stick. and forced herself to en-

like a blow. It nauseated and all but
overpowered her. She stood for sew

Presently she grew a little more &C.

to rake over the soft, dry mold of
the den floor with her forked stick.
Bones!-who had ever dreamed of
such a mess of bores?- big bones
and little bones and SKULLS; old bones,
dry and almost buried: moldy bones;
bones still half-covered with bits of
flesh and gristle-the remnants of the
leopard family's last meal.
At last all were scraped out and
flung in a heap. three or four yards
