PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
A book that has already been men
tioned in this column but which is
deemed worthy of moro extended no
tice is the Journal of the Lewis and
Clark Expedition It is a work that
should be read by every American and
is of course of especial interest to us
who live in a part of tho vast territory
tho exploration of which was tho object
of this party You may begin the two
rather ponderous volumes with a feeling
that it is tasking your patriotism too
severely to be required to finish them
but once in tho story you will deserve
no credit for reading it to tho end
To appreciate its merits you must
look beyond the words the somewhat
monotonous reeptition of tho incidents
in tho daily life of the men who formed
this intrepid band at the men them
selves At contemplation of the magni
tude and granduer of their undertaking
your admiration will not fail to develop
into something akin to awo and rever
ence and you will ask yourself whether
tho actors in this greatest of American
epics were not beings superior to men
Columbuss accomplishment itself was
not more wonderful It were an easy
matter to embark in a well provisioned
ship and sail away on a voyage of dis
covery but to journey for 4000 miles
through pathless wildernesses and track
less deserts through lands swarming
with wild animals and wild menthrough
other lands without human inhabitants
without living creatures of any sort al
most without vegetation is an essential
ly different matter
Recall the conditions that prevailed
in the northern part of the region then
called Louisiana Beyond St Louis
there was then no settlement of white
men East of the Rockies which our
narrator calls tho Rock mountains a
few traders navigated tho water ways
and into what is now North Dakota a
few Hudson Bay men came for tho
purpose of trafficing with the Indians
One hundred years ago these were the
only white men who had penetrated the
region Among tho mountains and in
the country to the west until you reach
ed the harbors of the Pacific none had
been
The leaders of this expedition and
their men voyaged up the Missouri in a
boat as far as they could go Then sub
stituting canoes for the larger craft they
succeeded in reaching tho head waters
of that stream Purchasing horses from
the natives they crossed the mountains
and finally reaching a tributary of the
Uolumbia wnere tney could again em
bark their canoes they floated down
that great thoroughfare of tho north
west to where it empties into the ocean
In the long journey they were frequent
ly on the verge of starvation In the
mountains they were reduced to the
necessity of resorting to horse flesh At
ono time a dog was purchased as a deli
cacy for a sick man and dogs came
even to be esteemed as an article of diet
Wolves and vulchers were shot as food
Sometimes they had nothing butroots
to eat and sometimes they had nothing
at all
Yet through it all they seemed to be
cheerful and happy One finds no word
of complaint from beginning to end of
the book The stoicism with which
they faced the dangers of their situation
and the unfailing modesty with which
the entire tale is told cannot but arouse
our heartiest admiration The enter
prise consumed the greater part of three
years It began in tho early winter of
1803 and terminated at St Louis in
September 1806
Night Was Her Terror
I would cough nearly all night long
writes Mrs Charles Applegate of Alex
andria Ind and could hardly get any
sleep I had consumption so bad that
if I walked a block I would couch
frightfully and spit blood but when all
other medicines failed three SI bottles
of Dr Kings New Discovery wholly
cured me and I gained 58 pounds Its
absolutely guaranteed to cure coughs
colds la grippebronchitis and all throat
and lung troubles Price 50c and SI

Redwillow Above the Average
George D Follmer commissioner of
public lands and buildings was in the
city Monday morning to check up the
deed record for 1903 in an effort to de
termine by a comparison with the sale
values of real estate whether Redwillow
countys real estate has been assessed
high enough for 1901 The land commis
sioner thoroughly satisfied himself that
the real estate of this county has been
assessed at a value above the average
He went from here to Dundy county
Cured of Brights Disease
Robert O Burke Elnora N Y writes
Before I started to use Foleys Kidney
Cure I had to get up from twelve to
twenty times a night and I was all
bloated up with dropsy and my eyesight
was so impaired I could scarcely see one
of my family across the room I had
given up hope of living when a friend
recommended Foleys Kidney Cure
One 50 cent bottle worked wonders and
before I had taken the third bottle the
dropsy had gone as well as all other
symptoms of Brights disease Sold

The Nest of the Ktngflohcr
Our American belted alcyon or com
mon kingfisher is an expert hole borer
There is scarcely a clayey bank along
the streams of our middle and south
ern states but has its face cut by the
door of one of these gloomy looking
houses
The hole is usually quite round and
goes directly inro the bank with a
slight upward slant to a distance of
from two to four feet where it turns
nearly at right angles to one side or
the other ending in a large jug shaped
pocket where the eggs are laid The
kingfisher is my most cheerful com
panion when I am out for a days or a
weeks angling It is an ever fresh de
light to watch him swooping down into
the clear brook water with a melodious
plunge and coming forth sparkling like
a flake from a blue sea wave or a frag
ment of turquoise He rarely fails to
catch the minnow he strikes at but his
appetite is unremitting and insatiable
He eats from morning till night
Maurice Thompson
Two Things That Scare a JTcrto
Two seemingly harmless things ex
cite the fear of the southern negro
One is the cracking of the finger joints
the other is to be stepped over as he
lies prone upon the ground The crack
ing of the finger joints seems to sug
gest to the negro imagination the rat
tling of a skeletons bones while to be
stepped over is regarded as likely to
bring bad luck to grown folks and to
check the growth of children A half
grown negro boy will sternly com
mand a playfellow who has stepped
over his body to step back in order
that the spell may be removed
Uncle Sams Recruits
