If they see one boy coming out of a saloon with a cigarette between his lips, and another with a clean colUr on coming out of a Sunday school, it does not take long for them to decide which one of the boys they want to employ.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP. Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. "When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured rnyself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, at Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by tukiag a teaspeonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it eeemed tiiat in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompaning pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable hurpnse is putting; is very mildly. I had no it'ea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were fur less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by ill Dfiifgii A LETTER FROM MRS. E. L.RICE, Hotchkiss, Colo. April 16,1903. We had a little dash of sun again East er, anil the morning of the 13th the thermometer .'aid onlv 17 above zero. It warms up Lilt slowly. The alfalfa fields begin to look green, but the buds on the trees prudently hold back. " Everybody is busy cleaning ditches and the sound of blasts is in the air, these stones iiiiisl Is? got rid of some way, and if they are to bin to move, powder must do the work. There has heen so much snow in the mountains that people look for lots of water this year, and ditches are lieing enlarged and strengthened accordingly. It would make Nebraska people open their eves to see some of the farming that is done right on top of the stones or lietween them, our neighbors put in a piece of alfalfa last fall on a piece of ground ho rocky that it w a marvel where the seeds found lodgment, and a greater marvel how such ground could be plowed and harrowed. The brave little plants are commirig lip, how ever ingreeu patches all around tho rocks and when a leisure time comes to pick off the rock, I suppose the alfalfa will spread and fill up the vacancies. A great many fruit trees will lie set, and much alfalfa put in this spring on this, and neighboring mesas. Every body seems to be hopeful and busy; their little town is building up rapidly, and every thing seems prosperous, there is plenty of work at good wages. We attended a County S. H. Convention at Hotchkiss April 1st, and were not "fooled" in the least, unless in the fact that it was a belter meeting than we looked for. The State Supt. of S. S. work, Rev. John Carmen was present, and was full of helpful, and practical suggestions (or the teacher. A letter lately received from Henry Clough says that his aged father passed peacefully away last month.

I find from letters received that La Gripe is the fusluon in Nebraska, we hud our touch of it, but now think ourselves usually well, Mr. Rice and Harry are busy preparing alfalfa ground, and arranging ditches. Roy's eight months school closes this week, and I llnd enough to do getting them all something to eat and sweeping nut. the dirt, If 1 could only write x'try likeZ-kiel I should lie encouraged to write ofteiier, His 'Ode to March' is alii He off the line of regular spring poetry which is suppos ed to begin "Beautiful Spring", bull think it, expresses the feelings of many of us, tho' 1 realize that our March has not Wn us bud .is yours, unless it is in the mutter of mud, that is dried no now, thir beautiful mountains are still cover ed with snow, and look cold.

To-morrow you gather your chattels Aad get ready to move right away I 1 guess that I must be mistaken Just say it alloveragain. Yes We're going to move to the city Our neighbors will bo happy then. No, ro; I don't mean to be selfish Or foolish; but you can pot see The ties that are holding my heart here, Or know what your words mean to me. There's Hie pine trees in sight over yon der The prairie so rolling and green, Ami iu the green grass by the hillside Most beautiful flowers are seen. To hear the dear meadow larks singing Their songs are a pleasure to me. I fear when we go to the city Their yellow breasts we can not see. And there where the sweet pea tassels It's streamers ol pink blossoms high, Our children have gathered the flowers But now they must bid them good-by. Ah John, you nre young yet not fifty. And the city's enticing I know; Let's stay on the farm awhile longer; Till we're better able to go. Yes, Ella, we'll move to the city We have staunch friends there we know, While out here in the country Some are happy to see us go. Yes, kind friends of the Press Journal, we expect to move to your city in the near future ar.d will soon have to bid good bye to those who have read our items. Will perhaps write once more. Zkkikl.
