After many intricate experiments , scientists
have discovered methods for obtaining all the
natural digestants. These have been com
bined in the proportion found in the human
body and united with substances that build
up the digestive organs , making a compound
called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests
what you eat and allows all dyspeptics to eat
plenty of nourishing food while the stomach
troubles are being radically cured by the
medicinal agents it contains. It is pleasant
to take and will give quick relief. D. W.

Dr. J. E. Ilathorn lost a valuable cow , Sat

Several of our sports attended the ball game

Miss Sadie Hamilton began a term of

Sadie is a successful teacher ; by her winning

A visit to the Inter-Ocean office , Tuesday ,
disclosed everything from the editor to the

the marks of Editor Matthews. This issue
had been locked in the form for some months ,

about 2 p. m. , Tuesday. It's of the feminine
gender and weighed eight pounds. Mother

We notice that Samuel Randolph don't be
lieve a man can be a lawyer and successful
farmer at one and the same time. Tis very
likely there are many lawyers who could not
be successful in agriculture and law. and it is
quite often the case those engaged in these
vocations are not successful in both or either
of them , but from this we can not reasonably
infer that there are not some persons whose
ability enables them to make a success in one
or more occupations. We had the pleasure
of visiting W. S. Morlan's farm and found
him superintending all the details of the
work , neglecting nothing which was necessary
to make his farming a success. Every part
of the work was done in a thorough and sys
tematic manner , just as Mr. Morlan has the
reputation of doing his legal work. And we
suggest to the county fair management they
would do a good thing for the association
and the people generally if they would secure
Mr. Morlan to deliver an address on farming
in Red Willow county. It is the men who go
out on the farm and are successful that we
want instruction from , and not those side
walk store-box whittlers that are ever and
eternally telling just how to farm , and never
made a success of anything.

A number of McCookites the worse for

The Oberlin base-ball club received the

A PICKPOCKET'S RUSE.
The Trick by Which lie Once Got a
WOIIIUII'K 1'urnc.
Jak * PIggott , the noted pickpocket ,
used to tell n fuuuy story about the
dlfliculty ho had iu picking the pocket
of a fashionably dreused womau who
was looking In at the window of
Shreve's Jewelry store. It Illustrates
the hardship that the light fingered
gentry are forced to endure In the pur
suit of their profession and when first
related was considered amusing not
only by Plggott , but by the many to
whom he conflded his experience.
It was a cold winter evening , and the
lady on whose purse Plggott had designs
stood looking at the holiday Query so
temptingly displayed. Plggott said
that he tried all the arts known to his
craft for the extraction of the wallet ,
but all in vain , until , as a last resort ,
he fished a toothpick from his pocket
and , reaching around , tickled the lady's
ear. Instinctively she raised her hand
to brush away the Invading Insect or
whatever It might be and ii * so doing
let go of her pocketbook thalT she was
carrying in the pocket of her coat.
It was only an Instant , but It was
long enough for the expert pickpocket
to get In his work , and when she put
her hand back her money was gone ,
and In the crowd around her she could
not Identify the pale faced , fashiona
bly dressed young man at her side as
the person who had robbed her , and
If she had accused him there would
have been no proof against him , as
the swag was at once passed to a pal
who stood ready to receive It and run.
Plggott was not even arrested for that
crime , and the lady's ludicrous outcries
furnished material for mirth long aft

LAYING UP A COMPETENCE.
Something That Practically Any Man
Can Do Through Self Denial.
"There are some men of genius , "
said Mr. Nlpplugly , "who accumulate
great fortunes by great strokes , but
by far the greater number of fortunes ,
including those of moderate dimen
sions , and these form the great ma
jority of all , are made by the very sim
ple process of living within one's In
come and investing the surplus with
more or less wisdom , but always where
It will be safe.
"The older I grow the more amazed
I am that more people don't lay up a
competence for themselves , as most
anybody can do , by beginning early In
life to live within their income and
sticking to that course faithfully. Did
I do this myself ? No. Am I , how
ever , having learned the wisdom of
this course , now making a beginning ?
I am obliged to say 'No. ' I am still
spending all I get and laying by noth
ing.
ing."There
"There are some lessons that we all
easily acquire , but never turn to our
own advantage. One of these Is of the
benefits that arise from the exercise
of self denial. We get from this at
once the direct benefit of what we
save , and self denial nourishes ,
strengthens and broadens the will and
enables a man constantly to do and to
earn more and more.
"There's simply nothing like self de
nial. It Is the key to every one of
life's treasures , and everybody has
one of those golden keys in his posses
sion , eager to help him and waiting
only for him to bring it in use. " New
York Sun.
An Amazed Woman.
A woman who had an Arabic glass
cup of the fourteenth century and did
not know Its value took it to the Brit
ish museum. After due consideration
the expert , to her surprise , said that ,
though the museum did not want It , it
might be worth $2,000. The woman
shuddered , because she had been car
rying in a crowded London omnibus a
bit of glass worth so much money and
It had miraculously escaped smashing.
Finally , wanting money more than
Arabian glass , she sent the object to
an auctioneer's. Fancy her amazement
when , starting at $2,500 , the Arabic
cup went by leaps and bounds and was
finally knocked down for the nice sum
of $0,500.
Actually the Arabic cup was worth
very much less , but it so happened
that there were two rivals at the auc
tion , who bid against each other.
China , Glass and Lamps.
Age is not to be feared. The older a
good and healthy person grows the
greater becomes his capacity to enjoy
the deeper , sweeter and more noble
kinds of happiness which the world
affords.
Our sentiments , our thoughts , our
words lose rectitude on entering cer
tain minds , as sticks plunged Into the
water look bent.
After a woman has reached the age
of 30 she wonders how many years
will have passed before she Is 31.

Is one who fails to profit by experience , even though he has use of both eyes without the aid of
glasses. Time and again people buy clothing that is half made and containing mostly "Shoddy
and Flock. " Remember that three years among you has taught you that we carry no satinet
goods in the house ; what you buy of us is reliable and made by the best equipped factories in the
in the country. Our prices are the lowest named for good goods ; we carry no other.
