"It is scarcely the right thing," said a young bride, "to look a gift horse in the month, and yet it's hard not to speak one's mind on a mat ter of this kind. It does seem to me that people might thirfk awhile before Buying presents. J am sure if they bad done so I would never have received seven pickle castors. What in the world am I to do with them all? I can only use one at a time, or at the most two. Now what is to become of the other live? It's just too per plexing for anything. If I could only show them it-wouldn't be so bad, but I can't even do that." "Deur me. I dont know why you should worry over such a little thing as that," observed her sister, who had been married nine years. 'Thosu extra pickle castors will come in handy bye and bye. Se lect the one you want to keep and then put the others carefully away. Whenever any of your "friends marry, Ii-t a pickle castor be your gift. It'll save you lots of money. When 1 v.-as married I received four ftsh knives among my pres ents. I was ctoss until some one gave me the hint that I have just given you, and then I was happy. It was-n't long till I had made good use of three fish knives." Stewart Will Vote Per Lamar. Washington, Jan. 8. Senator atcwart has taken a bold stand in favor of L-imar's confirmation. It was stated in a special dispatch yesterday that senator Stewart was investigating the record of L-itnar. He has completed that study and reached the conclusion to vote for Lamar. His decision practically assures the confirmation of Lamar, as no caucus pledge can hold all the Republicans together, and Sawyer, Sabin, Stookbridge and others are only waiting for some one to come out boldly so that they can follow the lead. Senator Stewart reviews the whole matter in a long letter. Says a Grant county exchange stockmen have been forced to com mence feeding. The fine weather could not continue forever. The snow is pretty deep in the mountains, already, and the deeper the better for the miners, says the tjrant Uounly jVeics. Quite a number of cases of diph theria are reported in different parts of eastern Oregon. Four trains and some 300 men are employed in ballasting the new track south of Ashland. There is a great deal of work ahead for the machine shops at The Dalles. Snow is piling deep on the higher peaks of the Cascades and biski yous. XSucIiIcn'b Arnica Salve.

Therefore, tho importance cf early and effective treatment cannot bo overestimated. Aver's Cherry Pec toral may always be relied upon for tho speedy cure of a Cold or Cough. Last January I was attacked with a severe Cold, which, by neglect and fre quent exposures, became worse, finally settling on my lungs. A terrible cough soon followed, accompanied by pains m the chest, from which I suffered intense ly. After trying various remedies, with out obtaining relief, I commenced taking Ayor's Cherry Pectoral, and was Speedily Cured. I am satisfied that this remedy saved my life. Jno. "Webster, Pawtucket, It. I. I contracted a severs cold, which suddenly developed into Pneumonia, presenting dangerous and obstinate symptoms. My physician ordered the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. His in structions were followed, and tho result was "a rapid and permanent cure. H. E. Stimpson, Eogers Prairie, Tex. Two years ago I suffered from a severe Cold, which settled on my Lunijs. I con sulted various physicians, and took tho medicines they prescribed, but received only temporary relief. A friend induced mo to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking two bottles of this medicine I was cured. Since then I have given the Pec toral to my children, and consider it The Best Remedy for Colds, Coughs, and all Throat and Lung diseases, ever used in my family. Robert Vandcrpcol, Meadville, Pa. Some time ago I took a slight Cold, which, being neglected, grew worse, and settled on my Lungs. I had a hacking cough, and wa3 very-weak. Those who knew mo best considered my life to bo iu great danger. I continued, to suffer until I commenced using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Less than ono bottle cf this valuable medicine cured me. and I feel that I owo tho preservation of my me to its curative powers. airs. Ann Lockwood, Akron, Kcw York. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral i3 considered, here, the one great remedy for all diseases of tho throat and lungs, and is more in demand than any other medicino of it3 class. J. F.

S. has done for our little daughter. Hazel, now four years old. When 13 months old a lump appeared on her hecVwhlch ilowly grew larger. The family physician thought It was caused by a piece of broken glass or needle, but failed to bring anything tp light. Th child became feebler all the time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb ot either hand became enlarged, the fleah. bo coming hard. The hip Joints became Involv ed, so that when seventeen months old aha could not stand, having lost tho uso of leg and arm. Partial curvature of tha spina al followed. The nervous y3tem was wrecked, muscle3 contracted, and there was general wasting of fiesh and muscle. At eighteen months of ago sho was placed under the treatment of a prominent physician of Bos ton, llass., but at the end of ten months aha had declined to such a degree that sho was In a dying condition. This was la April, 1SSS We took tho child away not knowing whae to do. In this dreadful dilemma wo wero over-persuaded by friends to try "ono bot tle " of Swot's Sracmc, which we did, and before it had all been taken wo saw a chango for tho better In nor symptoms. We kept It up, ami havo dono so to this day, and win keep It up, If tho Lord wills, for many days to come, for It has brought our dying Hazel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to a rosy tint Sho 13 able to walk anywhere, her languor and melancholy haTe passed away, and sho Is now a blithe, cheerful, hap py romping child.
