I jow much a man is like his Bhoes;
rl For instance, both a soul may lose;
J Both have been tanned ; both are made tight
By cobblers; both Ret left and right.
Both need a mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are Bold,
And" both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last ; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new ;
When men wear out they're men-dead too;
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loth.
Both have their ties, and both incline.
When polished, in the world to shine ;
And jboth peg out. Now, would you choose
To be a man or be his shoes?

A Brave Soldier.
Boyd, Or., March 27th, 1893.
Ir. Editor :
By your permission, we would like to
chronicle the startling news of a brave
soldier's action. As Mr. C. B. Cocker
line, a militiaman belonging to company
A, was going yesterday on an errand
from Boyd postoffice to Mr. Bolton's,
he was startled by the sight of a man
lying in the road before him, apparently
dead or in terrible distress. As be ap
proached within about 120 feet he began
to turn white in the face, and in an in
stant he ran the spurs in his horse's
side and started back on the dead run to
tell the people at the store of the start
ing news. He reached the store out of
reath, and then he led the way back
.oward the man, with his brother and
Ir. Smith following him. When they
pproached the man proved to be Mr.
'George Bice, who saw bim coming and
threw himself down to try the soldier's
grit. The soldier says he will return
tne joke ot a soldier's retreat irom a
dead man. . . Moses.

extend our sincere thanks to our friends
whose kind sympathy and help was ex
tended during the illness and death of
our little girl.
" Mb. and Mrs. John Elton.
Miss Maie Williams entertained a few
of her most intimate friends last even
ing at a "speculation party," and from
the confident manner in which some of
the young people speculated it was evi
dent they had no misgivings as to their
success. Among the many prizes won
was a typical ''red man," who must
have betn imbibing freely, as Deputy
Marshal Jameson carried him off. Mr.
H. French came out ahead of all the
gentlemen in his speculations and was
presented with a nicely-bound book,
while Miss Marden has less dread of the
warm weather, having won a lieautiful
fan. Lunch was scarcely over before
all were more than pleased at the famil
iar sound of the mandolin and guitar
Miss Maie then sang two of the sweetest
solos the company have been privileged
to hear for some time, and after singing,
dancing, conversation, etc., the jolly
crowd were compelled by the lateness of
the hour to disband.
Talk's cheap, but when it's backed up
by a pledge of the hard cash of a finan
cially responsible firm, or .company, of
world-wide reputation for fair and lion
orable dealing, it means business !
Now, there are scores of sarsaparillas
and other blood-purifiers, all cracked up
to be the beet, purest, most peculiar and
wonderful, but bear in mind (for your
own sake), there's only one guaranteed
blood-purifier and remedy for torpid
liver and all diseases 'that come from
bad blood.
That one standing solitary and
alone sold on trial, is

ery.

scrofulous diseases and pulmonary con
sumption is only lung-scrofula jusfjjpt
its makers know and get your money

Talk's cheap, but to back a poor med
icine, or a common one, by selling it on
trial, as "Golden Medical Discovery" is
sold, would bankrupt the largest fortune.
