A SURE CURE FOR CRFUP.
Twenty-five Tears' Constrnt Use With
oat a Failure.
The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at-
tack. Following this hoarseness is a
peculiar rough cough. If Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy is given as
Boon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears,
it will prevent the attack. It is used
in many thousands of homes in this
broad land and never disp^woints the
anxious mothers. W'~-=V yot to
learn of a single ir 1 which it
has not proved e |aSf No other
preparation can ssuch a record—
twenty-five years' constant use with-
out a failure. For sale by H. B.

A Musical Well.
The people who live in the F pas-
ture have become much excited over
something which appears real strange.
The cowboys say that the well in the
draw 12 miles east of Lockney has
the qualities of playing tunes. They
positively affirm that it will play one
tune then after a few minutes sileuce,
strike up another. It commenced
this only about ten days ago. When
- hones or cows are near the well and
it begins to play they become fright-
ened and run off. The F hands
would not use the water, but went to
Mr. Pearson's after water. What
causes this great phenomena has not
yet been determined, but all who
haye been there insist that it is a mu-
sical well.—Lockney Ledger.

Roughed ft With Her Husband.
Mrs. Ernest Seton Thompson, the
wife of the well known coologist and
author of quaint animal stories, re-
turned a few days ago from a long
trip with her husband through the
western states.
"We covered 10,000 miles on our
journey," said Mrs. Thompson to a
reporter, "through British Columbia,
Arizona, California and Rocky moun-
tain country. My husband was on
the trail of a certain club-foot grizzly
that is a native of Arizona, and we
followed him up, but failed to over-
haul him.
"We encountered the most remark-
able changes of climate. Early in.
October we arrived at Los Angeles,
and found it 116} in the shade. A
few hours later, on our way to Arizo-
na, we rode into a blinding snow-
storm, the first in three years. We
could not have accomplished the
journey-if relays of horses had not
been stationed along the road. It
was really a beautiful sight to see the
mountains all putting on their white
clothes.
"The rainfall in Arizona is so rare
that often they have to send miles
for watci, and one pays a good "price
for it, too. It is a common thing to
see signs along the Arizona roads
reading: "Horses, one drink, 25
cents; meal $1.'
"Out there they think it is very
strange for a woman 4o travel through
the mountains, and few have ever
done it, though - western women are
in advance of us in many ways.
They are taking up new ideas and
new work for women, and they dress
for the street in short skirts—that is,
skirts about four inches from the
ground. In Denver and Santa Fe
(his was especially noticeable. The
Denver woman's street or business
dress invariably has a short skirt,
dob men of Denver bays a generous
habit of opening their rootna to wo-
men Mends and ntatives."
Ma Thompson was entertained in
Denver by the University dub at a
banquet to which were bidden the
representative literary and artistic
nan and women of the city..
Agoing over the mountains and
rough western countrv Mrs. Thomp-
son rode astride and wore a riding
which is her own invention.
''In the eide-saddie," she says,
"your body is in a permanent twist,
and a long day's ride in this fashion
is nothing short of agony."
As Grace Gallatin Mrs. Thompson
was well known before her ferriage,
when she wrote for a number of
magazines aud was Paris correspon-
for San Francisco newspapers. She
writes occasionally now, and is a
member of the Women's Press club
and chairman of the governing
board of the Pen and Brush club.
Most of her working time and energy
are now devoted to her husband's
work. She not only revises his man-
uscript and reads the proofs, but
plans the make-ups of his books,
chooses the illustrations snd designs
the title pages and covers. So suc-
cessful has she been in this line that
she is now making up several artistic
books for a prominent publishing
house.—New York Mail and Express.
Brave Men Fall.

ney troubles op well as women, and

poisons in the blood, backache, ner-
vousness, headache and tired, iiatless
run-down feeling. But there's no
need to feel like that. J. W. Gard-
ner, of Idaville, Ind., says: "Elec-
tric Bitters are just the thing for a
man when he don't care whether he
lives or dies. It gave me new
strength and good appetite. I can
now eat anything and have a new

Brilliant Sayings of Ingersoll.
napoleon.
I would rather have been a French
peasant and worn wooden shoos. I
would rather have lived in a hut
with a vine growing over the door,
and the grapes growing purple in
the amorous kisses of the autumn
sun. I would rarher have been that
poor peasant, with my loving wife by
my side, knitting as the day died out
of the sky—with my children upon
my knees and their arms about me
—1 would rather have been that man,
and gone down to the tongueless
silence of the dreamless dust than to
have been that impersonation of
force and murder known as Napo-
leon the Great.
a child's laugh.
Strike with the hand of fire, O
weird musician, thy harp strung with
Apollo's golden hair; fill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies
sweet and dim, deft toucher of the
organ keys; blow, bugler, blow, until
the silver notes to tou :h and kiss the
moonlight waves, and charm the
lover's wandering midst the vine-clad
hills; but know, your smeetefct strains
are discord all, compared with child-
hood's happy laugh—the laugh that
fills the eyes with light and every
heart with joy.
selfishness.
I do not see how it is possible for
a man to die worth millions of dol-
lars in a city full of pain, where ev-
ery day he sees the withered hand of
want and the white lips of famine!
I do not see how he can do it, any
more than he could keep a pile of
lumber on the shore where hundreds
and thousands were drowning in the
sea.
As a cure for rheumatism Cham-
berlain's Pain Balm is gaining a
wide reputation. D. B. Johnston of
Richmond, Ind., has been troubled
with that ailment since 1862. In
speaking 6f it he says: "I never
found anything that would relieve
me until i used Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. It acts like magic with me.
My loot was swollen aud paining me
•very much, but one good application
of Pain Balm relieved me. For sale

Bold Bad Burglars.
On last Saturday night Jno. J.
Donley, who had been missing things
from his grocery store of late, con-
cealed himself in the store after busi-
ness hours and waited to watch
eventa. About 10:30 or 11 o'clock
two men entered by the front door
to which they had a key and pro-
ceeded to reach for what they wanted
when Mr. Donley slipped silently
forward and suddenly requested
"up hands!" One of the men rushed
to the front and passed out, the door
closing behind him. The second
while attempting to re-open the door
received a blow on the head from a
poker in Mr. Donley's hands that
made him see the stars that so many
watched for in vain the other night.
However he managed te fall outside
and picking himself up he disap-
peared in the darkness down the
street toward the depot. Half an
hour later J as. H. Stroud and Bob**
Harrell were arrested, charged with
the burglary and lodged in jail.
They waived preliminary examina-
tion and their bonda were fixed at
1400.00 each, which, up to time of
going to press neither of them had
made.—Henrietta News.

Over-Work Weakens

Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impnre Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.

Mood purifiers, they fil-
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesand rheu-
matism come from ex-
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or tin steady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseasea have their begin-
ning in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidney* The n?ild
