Plenty. Of Exercise Necessary.


Plenty Of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive or
unusual exertion, however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints.
To counterfeit this effect there is
nothing better than Sloan's Imminent.
Lay it on lightly where the muscles
have been strained; it requires no rub
bling for it penetrates right to the
bone, relieves any congestion and in
fammation and makes the muscles elias
tic and plant.
Sloan's Eminent is great boon to
athletes, for it not, only relieves pain
and stiffness, but it is an excellent
remedy for sprains cuts, bruises and
cramps.

LADS OF AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND.
Scotch Boys Reminded Traveller OF
American Youngsters.

The carriers wagonette was approach
ing. The grand big horse, Mr.. Hendry,
himself a small, white-haired, apple
checked man, with keen twinklng hg1t
in his eyes, and the load az women, ba.
bfes and boys which filled every part OF
the vehicle, made a picture of rustic To-
comotion, and there was a fine display
of courtesy when the boys jumped out
to walk. The mothers crowded close to-
gether and the babies were allowed to
Sit on our knees. English country boys,
though / like them we'll enough, do not
particularly remind me Of American
boys; but Scotch boys, especially the
barefoot village boys Of Ayrshire, re,
minded me individually of this, that and
the other companion of my youth. The
eve which never loses sight of yours, the
bare, free brow, the freckles, the plucky
mouth, the engaging air of freedom ana
enterprise and humor, in more than one
AYRSHIRE face, brought up the image OF
a little group of schoolmates, now scat
tered from Pennsylvania to New Mexico.
The Scotch boys whom I've met on
roads and hillsides have always been
about some business of their own, and
yery much interested in its outcome-eyl-
IDENTIFY had something on their MINDS
some adventure in hand. They were hur-
rying to some rendezvous or YEARLY re
turning with Jars and cans full or tad
poles or with strings of fish or combs OF

The Last Straw.

Frank Daniels, early in his career,
was principal in small company that
was touring 'the provinces" Business
had been poor and eating had become a
luxury. 1t was only the cheering
knowledge that the new opera house at
Ticonderoga, Il. Y, had been almost
sold out for their performance that kept
them together.
'Wait till we get to Ticonderoga," the
manager would say to any one who
family suggested the price Of break
fast.
Finally they did reach Ticonderoga.
It was eventide and rosy glow IL
1umined the western sky.

driver. "The sun may set in other
places, but never as it does here. Be

The Irish Waterman was putting the
usual red letters at each of the holes
made for the new electric conduit. He
had about dozen strung on his arm
and at each hole he set them all down,
pulled out a matchbox, lit one of the
lanterns and left it, proceeding to the
next hole, where the process was re-
peated, the task of taking all the lanterns
off his arm and putting. them back again
occupying some minutes.

first-class buildings thereon, besides
having all the necessary machinery
We always do our own threshing, fOr
we have a 22-horse-power threshIna
outfit.
Our success in farming in this couuI
try also enabled US to get rid Of 4
number of horses of less value, and In
stead we bought ten pure-bred mares
representing a value in the neighborI
hood of $1,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is tha
main factor in our district, am proud
to say that we have always had good
success. We have raised wheat as high al
thirty-five bushels to the acre and thi
year, although we suffered from laCl
of sufficient rain, our wheat went TWEEN
ty-seven bushels to the acre. and vi
had 900 acres in crop. We have brOkel
this year about 100 acres new land
and by next year we will have abOu
LILO acres in crop. For one carload
Of wheat which we have shipped few
weeks ago we got a price of 81 cent
per busheI, and it was graded as NJ
2 Northern, although we have Qua1
tity of wheat which will surely 60 a
No. 1 Northern. During the six year
we have been farming for ourselves,
have never had one frost around heFa
so that we always had good crop
I, for myself, feel compelled to a
that our Great West is the land wher
a person who is willing to work aD
turn his hands to anything can make
fortune, and comfortable living Od
country is a thoroughly free countr
and we have a good Government; anq
as long as we have good crops and
good Government, we are satisfied an
I think that is all we want
Yours very truly,
