WHY Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for a
moment imagine that colds are not
dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the germs
that would not otherwise have found
Judgment 1t is the same with all in
fectious diseases. Diphthera, scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to be contracted when
the child has cold. You will see
from this that more real danger turks in
a cold than in any other of the common
ailments. The easiest and quickest way
to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation have
made it staple article of trade over a
large part of the world. For sale by

Luck and the Woman

Every woman has her pet super
stitions. Something to her, stands for
luck-a horseshoe picked up, four
leaved clover found, a pin gathered up
from the floor black cat straying into
the house, birthday stone, lucky
date or number, etc. She believes in
it because she can prove it to herself by
definite examples, and in this she is
usually correct What she calls luck
has really come TO her the very day or
week in which she has found the horse
shoe or put on the birthday ring. 1t is
not mere coincidence. 1t has happened
as she says. The only thing she fails
to see is just why and how it has hap
pened.
The most important thing in life is
ones attitude toward it, says Harper's
Bazaar To the wrong attitude life
brings nothing To the right attitude 1t
brings everything. The blind doctrine
of luck is the handmade of this clear
truth. The woman who finds four
leaved clover and is convinced that life
holds something pleasant for her in the
immediate future gets at once into the
right attitude. She looks out for some
thing good to come along and so she
sees it and grasps it. If she had not
found the clover and had gone duly and
fretfully along instead, she would never
have noticed the pleasant thing at all.
That is the whole psychology of luck. 1t
seems too simple to be true-but really
its simplicity is its sign manual OF
verify. Expect good, look for good, be-
lieve in good-and life becomes good
and sorrows ever better. There are
always opportunities along the daily
road for the eye made keen by pleasant
anticipation. Sometimes big, happy
coincidence comes along TO boot, bu
whether it does or not there is enough
daily "luck" on any woman's path to b'
more than worth her while. Cats
clovers, pins and horseshoes are simply
selected symbols of this steady and en-
during truth, which needs none OF then
when once it is grasped and held by tn
woman who is wise.

ANGELS RECORD
BREAKING SALE
How An Angel Camp Merchant
Dodued His Creditors
ANGELS Camp Record )

NfhibNio NsoiAip lNNNplhy
Angels Camp is becoming VIGOROUSLY
popular for bargain sales, closing out
sales, sales at cost and less than cost !;
but the sale that eclipses them all, took
place at the Orc store on Main street
last Tuesday. The proprietor getting
an inkling of an attachment to be served
on him that night by city creditors,
sought legal counsel and then proceeded
to selling out regardless of cost or
prices. The sale commenced at about
ten O'Clock in the forenoon and at live
in the afternoon there was nothing left
The stock was valued at not less than
81, 500 and consisted mainly of furnish
ing goods. A large line of boots and
shoes for men, women and children was
carried besides a lot of rubber and
oil suits, notions, odds and ends.
Everything went at general public sale.
Articles worth IS we're sold for ST, and
especially was this the case in the clear
ing out of the boots and shoes.
This was the quickest opened and
closed sale ever known in the southern
mines; no previous advertising, no bell
boy to cry public sale. The proprietor
simply commenced selling valuable
articles for almost nothing; the people
caught on readily and rushed to him like
a band of bulls to red flag. 1t was the
FIRST place on record where the buyer
could 60 in and plank down fifty cents on
n five dollar article and walk off with |
tire goods. Many having no money with
wfTiicFB to buy shouldered in and shifted
their old buds and donned new ones the
people flock about the front door like
herd of frightened sheep, the store be-
ing all the while packed with people ;
they went in at the front door and came
out at the back door. Anyone who
efDuse to constitute himself clerk did
so without authorization till there we're
not less than ten clerks doing the sale
act, handing down the goods and taking
whatever the buyer cared to pay. 1t APP
peared more like an effort on the part
Of the proprietor to free the building
of the goods than to get anything ap-
their value. A clear case OF
more goods than brains. While the
sale was in progress the people were
wild with excitement and hundreds of
buyers got misfittiug boots and shoes
Ddd numbers, two rights or two lefts,
one OF one make and the other of an
other make but in the rush and jam
these matters were not noticed, not till
the sale was at an end Now there is
am effort among some. of the buyers to
Gnd who has got the other boot or shoe
to make his mate, ready to exchange
to get fit. The crowd surged forth
and back till the plate-glass front was
crushed in, in the frantic effort to get
to the counters to buy with little
capital. Finally the last remnant was
sold and the crowd dispersed.
The proprietor then sold his safe for
$50. The buyer has since discovered
that there are numerous install
ments still due on the safe which must
be forthcoming before title can vest
absolutely in himself.
The last seen of the proprietor that
evening was at 9 o'clock, when he was
gloriously stepped in the juice of the
grape and was being hustled off to his
lodgings by friend.
