A watch tall , ? \V ll no ,
< for my master forgot to put
. . a mouth in my face when
\ he made me. Although he
pu t ] ife in me , he did not
make my hands sufficiently
strong to strike you when
you abuse mc ; conscquently
you can smash my face or
take my life any time.
Then you may punish me
still more by taking me to
some unsldlled watchmaker
to revive me-some fellow
who promiscs to put a spring
of life in me for 50 cents-
give me a physic and
throughly purge me for 50
cents more , but who docs
not evcn take me apart. I'll
talk right for you if you
will take me to

Where Will Yon
Take It ?
'I'his question often arises
aftcr you havc consulted the
bcst ( not the cheapest )
physican you know , and
have recei vcd hi 'j prescri p-
tion.
It should go to the bcst
drug-giRt you know-o n e
who will use only the right
Idnd of Drugs and will not
try to fill it if he hasn't the
right kind.
It should go to thc druggist -
gist who will exercise the
grcatcst care in getting the
right drug and the quantity
and will go over his work
scveral times to be sure he
is right.
We conduct our prcscrip-
tion business as the best
druggist should , and this is
an answcr to th qucstion ,
"whcre will you take it ? "

An Interesting Letter From a Formcr
Rcsident of Custcr County Now
in the California Home.
Perhaps very few Rm'ulII.lcAN
rcadcrs cver hcard of the discipline -
pline in a Soldiers Ilome and
havc absolutcly no idea of how
the men who fought to prevent
the dissolution of the United
Statcs in thc early 60's pass the
time as inmatcs of a homc.
'fhose who may dcsire to learn of
the inside workings of thcse institutions -
stitutions will find an intcresting
account thereof in the following ,
written by one of thcm , Mr. P.
T. Oliphant-an uncl ( ' of Roy
Barnard , editor of the Callaway
Queen-from the Home at Saw-
telle , California :
SUNDA Y.
Thcre is no cxception to the
rule as to blowing the whistle at
this time of the ycar at 5:45 : in
the morning for cvcrybody to
roll out of their cots and drcss
thcmselves , and shake up their
bcd clothes , sweep up the little
floor space assigncd each man
'and prcpare for breakfast. 'rhc
first mess goes in at ( , :45 : , and
each successive mcss entcr the
dining room 30 minutcs latcr. !
At prescnt we havc thrce mcsses , I
I or tables , thcre bcing 2,485 m < : n
in camp. Our brealdast consisted -
sisted of boilcd eggs with ham ,
boiled potatocs with thcir skins
on , bread , buttcr and correCt
After breakfast we rcturn to our
quartcrs , make up our bcds , and
then we are at liberty to go
where we plcase. Many of us
attenel church in the Homc
Chapel , a building of two com-
partmcnts , one for the Protcs-
tants and one for Catholics.
The scrvice closcs at 11:30. : Af-
tcr this the first mess repairs to
UIC mess hall for dinner , which
today consistcd of beef and brown
gravy , boiled potatoes , bread ,
pie , chcese and coffee. After the
meal a few of the men go to their
quarters to write letters to their
friends , and others. rcad books
and magazines taken from the Ii-
brary , and the newspapers taken
by many of the boys. Many of
thcm sit around the grounds on
benchcs placed wherever thcy
think the men might wish to sit ,
some in the sun , others in the
shadc , while by far the greatcr
numbcr sauntcr off to Sawtelle ,
or to the beach at Santa Monica
or Ocean Park , all aiming to get
back to thc mcss hall to their
corrce , cakc , tea and orangcs at
5 o'clock p. m.

This is thc kind of a morning
that makcs a man wish he was

40 rods away , wherc hc , with

By this time the morning papcrs

'Phis morning we learn lha t

considerable excitemcnt. Many
who have been chronic grumblers
at his"managcmcnt now change
thcir tunc , and fcar we may gct
a worse one , and are getting
ready to find fault with the ncxt
one. As we have no complaint
to make , we wander a way in
the hills to wear away the tcdium
of the day , and to listen to thc
mocking bird , the meadow lark
and the faraway trill of the bce-
bird , and think of our boyhood
days on the othcr side of thc
mountains.
ItlUDA Y.
We wcre fceling good in re-

and ordcrcd to turn in all of the
lIome property he had in his passion -
sion and leave thc camp , as he
was dishonorably dischargcd for
using his pcn in writing disparaging -

A Bid for Union-Labor Support.
Union labor support , to combat
the tcmperance movement , in rc-
turn for the exclusive use of liquors -
uors which bcar the union label
is the proffer made in a circular
rcccntly mailed to each and cvery
Chicago dcalcr in intoxicants.
l'Unless the organizcd labor
movcmcnt , " rcads this letter , "is
rallied to your support and assists
in dri ving back this attempt to
wipe out your right to do busi-
ncss , thc enemics of personal
libcry and the saloon will dcstroy
you. " 'l'he significant feature
of this communication , howevcr ,
pertains not tu its proposed deal
loolcing to thc combatting of the
"cnemics of personal libcrty" in
Chicago , but is to be found in
the tone of sympathetic and
friendly alliance assumcd to exist -
ist , as a mattcr of coursc , betwecn
the ranks of organizcd labor and
thosc of organizcd nUll-selling ,
in thc bid for a trifling vantage-
point of tcmporary power at the
cxpensc of manhood and the bartering -
tering of honor. It is not believed -
lieved that union labor in this
country will generally approve
this attcmpted alliance.
