Some people are so ceremonious that [ they will expect Gabriel to furnish i them with a letter of introduction to ii St. Peter. Some fish in the sea are wiser than any ever caught. Sometimes a boy picks up a pin because be is careful and saving, but more often be wants it to bend and put in bis teacher's seat. The reason some people cherish their pride so fondly is because they have nothing else in sight. A husband at hon ?is worth two at ine ciud. Never judge yourself as you judge others. You might become discouraged. After the pleasure of running into debt there is the excitement of dodging creditors. It was written that nothing was created without a purpose before the days of the flying machines. Some of the very best marksmen are unable to shoot folly as it flies.

If a Can Is Attached* "A yellow dog would run well in that precinct." "A yellow dog will -run well anywhere if you furnish him with an incentive." New Year's Resolutions. New Year's resolutions are, as a general thing, about as mild and harmless, as a glass of soda, water. It is seldom that they have any effect on the maker that an outsider can notice save that they cause him to strut around for a day or two and feel superior to other men. About the end of the third day he accidentally lets them fall on the floor, and, as they are the most brittle thing known to science, the result is they are smashed into a thousand pieces. However, those who want to make them should not be discouraged. The human race must amuse itself somehow, and this is about as cheap and as harmless a way as has yet been invented. Quite So.

Wild Bill, whose real name was James Hickok, first came west in }S."7 ] and drove an ox team on the plains for Majors & Russell in 1SG0. He subsequently engaged himself to the overland stage company ns stock tender and was put in charge of a new stage station on Rock creek, near the old McKandlas station, which was generally known as Robbers' Roost. This was the headquarters for the McKandlas gang, a crowd that had held together since the Missouri-Kansas border ruffian days and generally had things their own way. A man named Fieklin, and a number one stage hand, was the superintendent. He tried to buy out the McKandlas station; but, failing in this, he built a new one near by, putting vnnv.f/' T-Tickok in charge. Up to that time he had never experienced trouble with any one and was not likely to have friction, especially with the old station keeper, McKandlas, or his men. In the winter of 1SG0-G1 McKandlas and his nephew and four other men passed by the new station on horseback, leading an old man who was afoot. They had a rope around the old fellow's neck, and occasionally they would take a few turns around the horn of the saddle, make a run on the rope and jerk the old man down and drag him on the ground until he was nearly dead. The only spite they had against him was that he was a North Methodist preacher. If Wild Bill was anything he was an abolitionist and free soiler and loyal to the United States. The McKandlas crowd was planning to make a raid on several stations to secure the stock and go south. They told young Hickok they would take the stock. He replied that he would be there. When they returned late In the evening two stopped at the corral, two went to the front and two to the back door of the cabin or hut. Hickok told lio Tc-nnlrl shnr>t thp first man Who I took down the bars of the corral. The elder McKandlas fired at Hickok, but missed hire. Hickok returned the fire with a rifle and shot McKandlas in the heart. The next shot from Hickok killed the nephew, and the two fell at the front door. Just then the two at the back door opened fire. One shot from a double barreled gun lodged seven full grown buckshot into Hickok's right side and breast, two of which entered his lungs. The two men who stopped at the corral came to the assistance of the two men at the house. Hickok was then in a hand to hand fight with four men. He killed three of them in the house and wounded the other so badly that he died on the prairie.?Denver Field and Farm.

Senator Tillman's speech at Greenville on July Jib, was somewhat in the nature of a disappointment to many people, both among his ene dies and friends, who were led to believe that it would be a red hot one.

The relation of the nerves and generative organs in women is so close that nine-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the j organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or restlessness and irritability. Spirits easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and between the shoulders. Loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry at the least provocation. All this points | to nervous prostration. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and prevent months of prostration and suffering so surely as Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs M R. Shotwell. of 103 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I cannot express the wonderful relief I have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's "V egetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, backache, headache, loss of appetite. I could not sleep and would walk the floor almost every night. "I had three doctors and got no better, and life was a burden. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkhanrs Vegetable Compound, and it has worked wonders for me. " I am a well woman, my nervousness is all gone and my friends say I look ten years younger." Will not the volumes of letters from I women made strong- by Lydia E.
