comprises two classes—those whose in-
dividual characteristics enable them to
command situations and thoee whom
■itnations govern. The weaker element
coveta constantly the attributes of pie-
ferment. Frequently the insufficient
appear to triumph. Title and regalia,
however, never yet made a king.
Half a doten conventions occur with-
in u few mouths at Loa Angeles, San
Franeiaco, Portland and Salt Lake City.
By reason of advantages, nature 1 as
well as seqaired, "The Denver Road”
is master of the situation as to Pacific
Coast points and the Northwest. It
simply has the best of it any way you
care to figure.
pne important consideration it dis-
tance. Distance means time, whieh is
money. Just for example, would you
deliberately choose to rideout 856 miles
to a point but 588 miles distant from
Fort Worth via "The Denver Road,"
whieh reaches the place where the inter-
esting part of the Los Angeles] trip be-
gins, with a68 miles less travel, taking
less time, therefore less money, with
neither changes nor waiting, too? Why,
of course it makes a difference. It’s so
with all other possible combinations of
tines—’twas so in old Euclid’s time, ’tis
so now, always will be—two sides of s
triangle must exceed the third.
Study the map.
Further than this, persons of discrim-
ination recognise and appreciate the
fact that certain modern convenience!
are of the necessities of really good
passenger service and that many of these
"The Denver Road" alone provides.
Such are:—
Dfely-lhru trains, models of improved,
hox-vestibnled equipment; sleepers with
ladies’ dressiug rooms, large enough for
several—with no loeka; coaches fur-
nished with the most comfortable high-
baok seats made; cafe cars, meals a la
carte, pay only for what you order; no
junctions to wait at, nor any change of
cart; no matter how. small your party,
thru trains for each, for everybody,
each dav.
Another point, "Tpa Denver Road"
gives choice of six rentes from Colo-
rado west, with thru connections. Yon
may view Colorado’s grandeur going,
returning, or both ways, if you will.
Stud} the map and think twice before
buying. Tickets cost no more via
“The Denver Road" than over routes
where you’d get considerably more ride
but less actual satisfaction.

at which all members were present.
Superintendent Rogers submitted
a report covering his . two years
work here. Also stated he would
be an applicant for the position of

birthplace the incidents it has so
aptly illustrated in other Darts of
the world. A trip to the Pacific
Coast has long been contemplated
and now that Messrs. Cody and
Salsbury have concluded to go to
Europe again this fall, they have
determined to pay a parting salute
of respect to America and will, as
stated, cover the entire country
this season, beginning at Madison
Square Garden in the very heart
of the Metropolis, and then exhibit
at the principal points only. This

The reports that visitors from
the old states to the U. C. V. re-
union and various parts of Texas
will carry back with them will do
more toward advertising Texas
than anything we could possibly
do. If a good average crop is
made this year we can expect to
see a great many strangers seeking
horties in Texas next winter. No
county in the state offers better
opportunities than Parker. Our
land is productive and the price
is not so high but that a man of
moderate means can secure

"The square peg in the round hole”

unsuited to the desired end. A great
many people who have been cured of
dyspepsia and other diseases of the stom-
ach and its allied organs of digestion and
nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery say: "We tried many
medicines with only temporary benefit.
It was not until we began the use of
‘Golden Medical Discovery’ that we
found a complete and lasting cure.”
It is undoubtedly true that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery holds the rec
ord for the perfect and permanent cure
of indigestion and other diseases of the
stomach and associated organs of diges-
tion and nutrition. It is not a palliative.
It cures the cause of disease and builds
up the body with solid healthy flesh, not
flabby fat.
«It U with pleasure that I tell you what Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ‘ Pellets’
have done for ms." writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of

sick man hears the sentence, " There’*

It is just at this very point of hope
lessness that the use ot Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery has proven
the first step to health to many a suf-
ferer. It cures the cough, stops the
hemorrhage, heals the lungs, puts sound
flesh upon the lrody, and sends the man
back to the activities of life as strong as
ever. It’s s wonderful sUlement, but
it is literally true, that "Golden Medical

St. Louis, April. 29.—Ernest Wild, a
British subject, occupies a cell In the
guard house at Jefferson barracks;
awaiting transportation to the federal
prison on Alcatras island, in California
bay, to serve a 99-year sentence for
treason to the United States. If he
had not falsely sworn he was a citl-
ten of the United States he could not
have found himself Into his present
predicament, for he would not have
been received as a recruit to the Unit-
ed States army In St. Louis, December
5, 1899, and shipped to the Philippines.
Wild had been in active service on
Luson island only about ope month
when he disappeared from the camp
of company B. of the Twelfth infantry,
at Panequie, 50 miles from Manila. For
20 days he remained absent Then he
turned up In Tarlac and surrendered.
He said he had been captured by the
insurgents, and with much difficulty
had escaped. With him waa a soldier
named Kenny, from the Fourth caval-
ry, who told the tame story.
Instead of taking Wild’e word and
permitting him to Join hie command,
the commanding officer at Tarlac or-
dered him before a general eonrtmar-
tial, charging him with desertion and
specifying that he had quit caQsp to
Join and flght with the Filipino it
goats. On this charge and
1 tion Wild waa convicted.
