the family physician. Consult
him early when taken ill. If
the trouble is with your
throat, bronchial tubes, or
lungs, ask him about taking
I Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Then
take it or not, as he says.

People are just beginning to realize the fact that thousands of acres of the
very best agricultural laiuK in the rain belt in the I'uited States are in Potter,
KandalL Swisher. Hale, Palmer, Itailey and several other enmities in Texas,
as well as the laud lying east if the mountain range in New Mexico and the

in the older regions, at one-tenth the price, lands as fertile and productive and
much easier cultivated, is the inducement that is cunning people to locate there.
The portion of Texas mentioned is known as the "shallow wafer district." and
good water may be obtained at depths ranging from 25 to 100 feet. The alti
tude is 3,000 feet, and this is conducive to tho mild and beneticial climate with
which the southern plains are blessed. You can plow the whole year around
if . on choose. The soil is a rich loam. This land grows from
40 to 50 bu. of Corn, 25 to 40 bu. of Wheat,
50 to 60 bu. of Kaffir Corn, 6 to 10 tons of Alfalfa,
Cotton, Millet, Sorghum, Apples, Peaches, (trapes nnd all kinds of small fruit,
Irish Potntocs, etc. Almost all kinds of garden stuff grown with little care.
Tills is probably one of the best countries on earth for hog raising, and no hog
disrasi has ever been known there. There are good school and church privi
leges, good live towns, and good railroads.
Some of the land is sold on ten years' time, with reasonable cash payment.
IK f erred payments draw from 0 to 8 per cent. Land from SO up.

ABOARD A MAN-OF-WAR.
Ufa Largely Made Up of Scrubbing,
Regulations and Inspections.
Tho day's progrnmmo aboard n mini-of-war
Is calculated to make the boy
who wanta to run away to sen sit up
and think twice. It varies somewhat
according a the ship In In port or at
sen and under different commands, hut
In any ense, from G o'clock in the morn- I
ing till 7:30 at night, it Is a rather
strenuous round of Hcrubblugs mid
drills. The recruit realizes very soon
that the expression "shipshape" means
n good deal. ,
Snturday morning Is n tremendous
cleaning time, called "Held day," which
Is followed by a half holiday in the
afternoon, and on Sunday morning tho
captain himself Inspects his ship from
keel to truck. The marine band is sta
tioned Just below on the hurricane
deck, nnd the bluejackets stand on the
port side of the quarter deck and the
marines on the starboard, all ready
for Inspection.
Hut life Isn't all scrubbing.;, regula
tions and Inspections. On the larger
ships the government furnishes ath
letic supplies, and each man-of-war
has her champion boxer and baseball
and football teams. These teams arc
managed or supervised, at least, by
olllcets, and many an ensign or lieu
tenant who has won his "N" at tho
Naval academy plays shoulder to shoul
der with his bluejackets. Such fa
miliarity would have scandalized old
Commodore I'orlet beyond words. -St.
Nlchofns
hean Richepin's Career.
Tho story of how he came to adopt
n literary career Is sufneicnUy pictur
esque. For some time he had picked
up a precarlou1 livelihood by doing
"odd Jobs," Including such profile oc
cupations as that of bootblack and
casual porter on the Qtiul Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
mnn to carry to tho railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived nt the station,
there was nn instant mutual recogni
tion. They were old college chums.
"What are you doing here?" nsked bin
friend. "Carrying your trunk, I be
lieve," said Jean. "Why do you do
this?" "nccause I must." "Where
do you live?" "Come and see," re
plied Itlehopln.
Tho future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling a miserable room In
an nttlc in the poorest quarter of the
town. Upon the. table lay scattered
heaps of mannscrlpts Jean's Incur
sions In tho realms of poetry when
the more prosaic duties of the day
were over. Looking through them, hl9
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do you carry trunks and blncken
boots when you can do work like
this?" he asked. IUchephi had never
given the matter a thought. He had
never deemed these products of Idh
hours worthy of publication. Pub
llslied they were, however. In a very
few weeks nnd created an Immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Itlchi'pln never looked back. West

Kangaroos Saved a Rothschild.
Walter Itothsehlld. the richest bache

matrimony when he was a young man.
A designing mamma had managed to
get the heir to the Itothsehlld millions
Interested in her daughter, and tho
daughter did all she could to load the
Interest up to tho point of a marriage
proposal.
One night at a watering place, after
Itothsehlld had retired to his room, he
heard voices under Ids window which
he recognized as thosu of the young
lady and her mamma.
"Has he proposed yet?" asked the
old woman.
"Not yet," answered tho daughter,
"but I'll havo him hooked before long
if only I can endure his conversation.
Tonight he bored mo almost to death
talking about his kangaroos."
"I am sorry," said Rothschild, put
ting his head out of tho window, "to
have bored you with tales of my ani
mals. Forgive me. I shall never do
so again." And he never did. London

Retaliation.
A. mon who was a guest at one of
the summer resorts In West Virginia
tells of a wedding ceremony he wit
nessed In the town near by.
The minister was young nnd easily
embarrassed. It was the llrst wedding
ho had ever undertaken. The prospec
tive bride and groom were both youn
ger and still more easily embarrassed
than lie
When tho minister had finished the
service nnd muttered a few kindly but
halting words to the young couple ho'
had Just united tho brldo looked nt
him, blushing, but confident. I
