Uach recurring attack of rheuma- tisni makes the disease harder to control, but the fact that it is not iu itself dangerous causes people to neglect It, awaiting a change or a settled condition of the weather for relief. It Is olten only after the dis ease has become so serious as to In terfere with business that the suf ferer will seek more than temporary relief. Ci'imberlain's Liniment Is a remedy fur rheumatism which any one can apply. It not only gives r-rompt relief from pain, but In a large majority of cases It brings about permanent results. The first application will surprise and delight you as Immediate relief Is almost sure to follow.

I've heerd a heep o' talk o' late 'bout football and such things How Its rules have been rcmodled, how they've sorter cllpt Its wingt So'c overy football player now, If he sees fit, kin be A regular full sized member o' hu mane society How the boys kin kick the pigskin without danger to their legs And the risk o' over after stumping thru the world on pegs And now It seems the ladles find they, too, may share the games By rubberln' long the sidelines, wav- In' flags and screechln' names. So when the season opened up twlxt Marshfleld and North Bend Says I, "I'll see a game myself since football's on the mend." Have alius Mowed I'd see a game If It would go no furder, And stop some fifteen broken bones this side o downright murder. ,So off to Marshfleld with the rest I went mid yell and shout, And folks along shore wonderln what such noise was all about We landed at the Marshfleld wharf uu ! i..u ui.i.v.1. .mi... And most the time In waving flags and yellln' long was spent, 'Til at the gridiron we arrived Im patient tor the fray And each gal shoutln' "Now, dear boys, be each a star today!" Well, after puntln' of the ball, back talk and yells and threats A half a dozen squabbles, two fights and several bets, The two teams squared off In the j field and things grew pretty still Save one big husky Marshfleld guy soraeumes causa uugnousfl run. Now Bughouse Bill's a clever man, save now and then a dream .Will make himself unto himself ap pear the Marshfleld team. Then trouble brews and Bill walks arott'id and shakes his fist and swears, And all the other boys make way for Bughouse football airs. When Bughouse Bill got pretty still why someone kicked the ball And every player seemed to think he on that sphere must fall. They struggled, stumbled, tumbled 'round in one large tangled beep, And formed a pile of legs and arms not far from ten feet deep. Nor scarcely were they straightened up when with all might and main They Jumped Into another heep and v tangled up again. I've seen tome struggles in my time as Gettysburg, Fort Pillow And at a moving picture show the battle o' Manila; aifo a snanisn bullngnt and am automozlle smash And folks in Wall Street trying hard to corner all the cash, But 1 declare such things as thesi grow mighty trite nnd tamo To sldo line folCs alookln at a TT,."h School football gairje. No struggle such as I have named thp landscape ere ndorn3 As wMn upon a muddy field two foothill teams lock horns. They glare Into each other's eyes and growl, some 'Rlthmetlc A'-d when some fellow grabs tho ball they scramble for It quick. Thev butt Into pach other's ranks l'ke human billy goats And vhfn a nnn butts extra hard, sidp'lnpp split their th-nats. And when It comes to rmi5;h hnupo gams. prize fitln' !"- It It; ITre 'leven rn?n instrnc"; o' one m-v hi you any minute. Tut thQv exrPf sueh things, I gii"ri, ps all the football ffli A fomlnlne dltgV Mf ""'msl have found In wearing padr. And some hava rubber nose" on nnd some thick skull cap", x-"".. A football player now-a-days kin play without long hair. But wa'chin' this particular gamo from ktckoff to the end I almost laughed to ketch myself a shoutln' fer North Bend. Yes sir, ns old as I be now, rheu matic and decripit, I danced when North Bend got the ball and I wlsht they might a kept it, And once when oscar with the ball came plunging good enough I heered Proffesor Raab yell out "Hurrah, boys, that's the Stauff (stuff). And 'twas with sorrow that I saw North Bond go down to slaughter. What wonder tho when on a 'field that lay half under water. The Marshfleld boys, amphibious all, . aro active In such bogs ' I lut North Bond boys prefer a game wl'li wh'.to men not with frogs, And yet, lest such another fata should soak their tender skins The North Bend boys have planned '. I to grow scales, flippers and some fins. The Marshfleld team has taught the boys some tricks quite neat nnd clever, But I predict they wont go on beatln' them forever; No, sir, the boys kin piny a game as clever and as neat, And soon they'll scroll o'er Marsh fleld roll tho great big word DEFEAT.

Supremo Court Upholds Claim txi Willamette Lock Toll. SALEM, Ore., Nov. 21. The In terest of the State of Oregon In tho Willamette River locks at Oregon City was sustained when the Su preme court denied the petition for a rehearing In the case of the state against the Portland General Elec tric Company, owner and operator of the locks. The interest of the state amounts to $200,000, which was appropriated by an Oregon legis lature to defray one-half of the ex pense of building the locks. The appropriation carried the agreement that the state school fund was to receive 10 per cent of the earnings of the .locks as long as they were operated. This percentage was paid to the state tho first year (1874) after operation, but never afterwards, the corporation owning the locks having transferred the util ity to other parties, who contended that they were not amenable to the contract entered Into with the state by the former owners. In the law suit which resulted the state was vic torious, the courts holding, in effect, that the agreement regarding a per centage of the earnings was more than a mere contract It was a law and therefore could not be evaded by anyone. QUEER OCCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN IN OREGON SALEM, Ore., Nov. 21. Ac- cording to statistics compiled by Labor Commissioner Hoff, there are about 23,000 women in the state Tvho earn a living from toil In different capacities.

On American farms we have raised a large crop of presidents About all of them were country bujw except Roosevelt, and' be made up l. becoming a cowboy. A farm Is also a good place to ral Joy. honesty, contentment and tin sim ple life. Since I acquired a side hill of my own I have been not only eul tlvntiug these, but have also grown n crop of tan. mosquito welts and en thusiasm, loiter I plan to ral-'e straw berries, grapes, apples, hens, a nios t gage nnd some goats. I have nlte.uly harvested n large yield of nntlclp i loin about what I am going to harvest i i future. The particular piece of real cstnv on which I now have the privl'ege n paying Interest and taxes ion . , ( twelve acres. In conseiue:ue I v ' template a book on "Twelve Ace Enough." The only reason the tit e will not be "Fifteen Acres EidusIi" "Twenty Acres Enough" K I fvai. there Is not that much laud Iu th place. I have observed that most i.i. i think the world should lie regulate 1 ' their own regulating machine uml measured by their measuring r-tnk There are more sour giape phlln ophers In tills world than Is genera!" admitted. A whole lot of people a e proud of what they haven't got Tin: Is on a par with folks putting on lr over having had what they dl.Ir't want. The most conspicuous can " this on record was an exclusive "I'l set compo-sed of those who had s-.. vlved smallpox. And how those fo did look down on the poor uuforui nates who had not been thus ill -rl-i gulshed! They even sniffed at vi i olold victims. It was like a hoy v. 'h.

I do not kuo how much land Is enough for one uii'ii but suppose it Is what he can pay I" and Is satisfied with. Anyway, t le question Is not up to me. uu.l I reft: to decide It. I am not golu -' to wi I that book after all lnsU'.l I prppo to become author of a woiU en. i.i i "One's Own Affairs Enough." It 1 now of my business whether the oth. fellow owns twelve acres or twelv thousand. This farming proposition Is fine. Oni here a man can not only eat hi, own vegetables, but think his own thoughts. Moreover, he Is master ot his own time, having no boss except his wife. The only thorn In the lluhh Is the New York Central railroad That Is too modern and cl tilled for r strictly rural effect, besides being t noisy for high thinking. It Is as though his Satanic majesty should disturb paradise by making a frequent nolee llk shoveling coal. This Is not much of a fanning see tlon. but hns plenty of scenery and history. Every morning I can hear the drums and guns at West Tolut where the shoulder strap blossom. and they raise crops of men for the harvest of war. Within sight thiee pouts wrote Morris. Willis and Drake but they are ail dead. All tin great poets are dead, A poet never g.ts tc be great till after he dies, and some not oven then. The Object of Lire. What is the object of life? "Ilappi ness." says oue. "Love. ' sighs iitioth r. "To do goi.d." beams a third. "To gain wealth." pants a fourth. "To iichieve fame."- shouts a fifth. "To ilnd lieu ven." breathes a last. Each of these Is good when rightly under fitood. and each has Its place. But there is one thing more. It Is to grow, to expand, to climb, to overcome in a word, evolution. God sows Ills Image In each of us. and we grow anil evolve until this comes to (lower aud fruit lu the individual character. This Is the object of lire. It runs through all na ture It animates the universe. It Is the divine law. That which does not progress dies. There Is no happiness? jrre.iter than that of conscious Improve ment and unfoldnient, than that of be coming stronger, wiser nnd better. This Is the lesson . taught us by the growing and blossoming world. Getting the Spirit of the Builicr3. When I came to the triangular pee tlon of rocks, stumps, underbrush and American dirt that Is now In my wife's nnme I foetid on It a houe of uncer tain age ard still more uncertain floor love's. It was assuredly the original of the nursery rhyme: There wr.s a crooked nnn T.ii:' vie. t r c- i i .l He four.U a crooked sixpence Agaliut a crooked stllc. lie 1 01 gilt n cr""l-ej c.lt That enuRht n crooked mouao.

The po'vho't were envore 1 with dirt TJio.v won tloiiiulid (if KiultiU rti and bad boards out of the floors. The kitchens and washroom had part of the floors rotted out and were other wise In a discouraged condition. Tiro paper was off the walls, the plaster was full of holes, the roofs leaked, and. everything was us It should not be. Wo wont to wo.-lc. We found the leaks In the roof wore couflncd to n flat portion. Some new roofing paper covered with paint fixed that to perfec tion. Plenty of soap and water, a lit tle plaster, two or three kinds of paint and two or three more kinds of wall' paper rehabilitated the Inside. As for tho dirt, it was carted out by the barrel and burned. All that would not burn was burled. The repairing of that house was slm pier than it looked. It was a trifling' mnttor to renew the broken floors. All the floors were then painted and cov ered with nigs. Paint on the outsldo of the little houre worked n transfor mation. It initio a clean and cool ef fect The eliliMiie;H had bricks out of them like teeth out of an old tnan'r mouth. A little dentistry with brlcka fixed all that. Then two cans of chim ney paint made them look us good as new. The plin lag of banisters about the porches was eai'y and made a greater change than one could Imagine. All the work was done at odd times and was really a d 'light. As a result of It. for a trilling outlay the "little crooked house" Is i cully a home. What mansion Is more'' The greatest remit of all. however,. Is not seen l:i the building or the grounds. It Is In the people. Nor does It consist alone la the fact that tho Only Woman and myself feel like pat ting ourselves 0:1 the hacks. The expe rience goes deeper It Is nothing less than that we have learned the spirit of the builders. We hue caught a glimpse of the life constructive. We hav seen sirne faint glimmer of the glory which 1 elougs to the eternal Architect as he erects worlds aud clothes them with beauty. From tills tra.ir.f orinlng viewpoint even the M'coiidhatid wilderness In the up-ended corner of my arplrlng farm has a glory of Its own It Is filled with the spit It of giowth and has been touched by the miracle of life.

""t " When Jlmmle. the little boy, enmo In one day his sister ran to meet him with the tidings: "Pat Is dead." Then there were tear wet faces, nnd after awhile the two children trudged out into the back lot. Jltntnle got a spade, and a little grave was dug, Other children were called, and there was a small fuiieril processlou. after which Pat. who had been their play mate so long, was Mid to re-jt. Jlmiuie fashioned a rude crps with the name cut on It and placed it over the spot. Ho reasoned iu hln childish heart that he who loved little children must alio love the animals and all liv ing things. Why not: For Pat was only a cat. We use only a fraction of ourselves. In our ordinary breathing the larger part of our lungs l unemployed. We never call ou all our strength, nnd most of our brain eel's lie .dormnnt: In each of us are unknown levels of energy that are manifested only In mo ments of sudden need. Wo are big per. better and stronger than we think. All we need Is the faith and will to call out our own Inherent powers.
