I A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
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. For sale by JOHN

FOOT BALL
The OIj Mnn's Opinion.
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.

OREGON WINS CASE.
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.

A New Style In Agriculture.
Farms are good for other thing! lie
sides raising potatoes, corn and cab
bnges. 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"

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

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

To be perfectly frank. 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

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:

on the lawi'fi, dirt everywhere, liarreU
upon barroN of dirt, a'l hinds n,f dlrl
from moimtni'iH of tin cans to hlllii of
inlscollfinoout. unclnshlflcd. composite
pud plebeian dirt.
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.

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
