CAMP BRYAN AGAIN.
Doings and Sayings of Those
Who
Were Camped There.
A party went a camping
To the springs so clear and cold,
' And in that crowd of forty
Only two would vote for gold.
Our camp we called Camp Bryan,
And the name we posted well,
Everyone of us for silver
And could give a silver yell.
You know why we called it Bryan,
For our nominee so bold ; '
It he fails to reach the While House, -
He'll be beaten with the gold.
One night we held a meeting
Around the campfire bright,
To ratify for Bryan,
Which we did with all our migh.
Van Winkle was our chairman,
(No relation to old Rip,).-)
And the speech he made for silver
Caused the gold-bug heads to dip.
Fred took notesjnr the Athena Pkbks,
Mrs. Goodman f 'r the Leader, ,
And the jolly time we had there
Will be enjoyed by every reader.
We sang our songs for silv. r.
So the forest did lesouid ;
Ali our votes we pledged for Rryao,
When November rolls around
Hurrah for Billy Bryan,
And for silver bright and free;
We pledge ourselves for Br ao.
Beneath the huckleberry tree.
By Onb hot Pbksent.
Clark VVood, editor of the Leader, win
a visitor at the camp, the guest of Editor
Boyd, Saturday night and went to 8rI
ing'e camp to spend Sunday, lie re
turned to Weston with the crowd Wed
nesday. We congratulate him as a berry
picker, for with ttie help of the Hr.vsu
ites and numerous other good mountain
eers he succeeded in getting a ga'lm of
huckleberries.
The five composing the Athena branch
of Camp Bryan report forty gallons of
the luscious fruit and they hit plenty for
others who may desire to stop there. The
family of Mr Robbins, the well known
thresher, aro camped and we found pleas
ant company in Mrs. Robbins and littl e
ones.
M. M. Johns and family seat word they
would stop on Friday en route to Saling's
and dine with us. We were iguorant of
the fact that they would bring us any
dainties, so we left early for the berry
patch. When they arrived tliere wati no
one "to home," but the campfire was
smoldering, and they cooked their din
ner, helpine themselves to what our
cupboard afforded. On oui return we
noted some one had been there, snd we
found a pan with some fresh beef with a
note, "This beef has been salted, Au.
14, '96. Wberedoyoukeepyourengar?"
Prof. Van Winkle and Allan are good
at imitating a "bar" and gave our party
quite a scare. !
We found such pleasant company in
the family of Mr. Goodman, and the
death of Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Goodman's
mother, cast quite a gloom on our merry
crowd. We sympathise with them all
in this bereavement
There was a good deal of rivalry in our
camp as to who would be the champion
punster, and we herewith report a few of
the "Wood"-be bright sayings:
A family named Shumway was camped
not far away, and punster No. 1 said,
' f:(h)um-way I can't catch onto that
name." A suggestion was made that
dynamita be used to clear ; the stumps
for the farm land, when the bright euitor
of the Weston Leader remarked, "I will
have to dine a mite to stay my stomach
if you don't keep still," U
Coming home we noticed how a farmer
had utilized a straight row of pine trees
on which to fasten his fence wire, our
driver said, "Oh, yea, they are in rows,"
while a Mies Grace fully replied, "They
are not rose but pines."
One Wednesday, the sole occupants of
our camp were Grandma Van Winkle,
Oecile and Mrs. Boyd and Grace Bradley.
Mrs. Boyd heard a cougar's cry and their
slumbers were disturbsd, and at day
break noises were heard near the tent.
Mrs. Boyd armod herself with a 38 rifle,
steatbily approaching the door of the tent
prepared to meet a cougar or any other
''bird" of its kind when to her horror BBd
disgust, she found the racket was made
by our chickens coming off the roost. X.

Horses Burned.
Wednesday our people were startled
by a fire alarm. It proved to be a barn
belonging to Mr. Clemens on fire. The
structure was situated outside the city
limits near the Northern Pacific elevator
and before the department could reach
the place the barn was a sheet of flame
and the large elevstor was smoking from
the intense beat. The hose lacked con
siderable of reaching, and that the eleva
tor is standing today( is due to the un
tiring efforts of the Hook and Ladder
Company. It is supposed that the fire
was of incendiary origin.as only last week,
a stable close to the elevator was dis
covered to be on tire, butby dint of
good fortune and prompt aojion was put
out before damage to any extent was
done. Mr. Clemens lost three good
horses, which fell a prey to the firo
fiend, also a large quantity pf hay, har
ness etc. It is understood that some in
surance was carried on the Stable.
Gray Hair Made Dark.
I saw in your paper a statement that
Zula Vulier would restore any head of
hair to natural color in three weeks, As
I was very gray I sent for a sample pack
age, and in lees than three weeks my
hair was perfectly restored to natural
color. My wife's hair was a light red,
and by using Zulu Vulier, her hair is
now a beautiful auburn. Any one can
get a sample package of Zulu Vulier by
sending 21 two cent stamps to Wilson A
Co., New Concord, Ohio, and if it does
not restore the hair to natural color in
three weeks they will return your stamps ;
it not only restores tho hair to uatura
color, but will stop the hair fulling out
immediately and is one of the best hair
tonics made, and you take nn risk, and
if it does not satisfy you perfectly (hey
will return your stamps. A Reaolr.
' A Break at the. County Jail.
Sometime between the boors of 0 and
7 o'clock Wednesday evening while the

Deafness Cannot Be- Cured

react the iVf.iunvd 'tirn t ( (h
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When thid tube is in
flamed - you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, tsnd
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed for
ever ; nine oases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an (inflam
ed condition of the mncous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of dafness (caused hr catarrh)

A BARBER SHOP SURPRISE.
A rasbionably Draraed Toons Lady Von
onaUuatly Take a Shave.
But one of the dozen chairs in a pop
ular Cincinnati barber shop was vacant
about ten o'clock the other morning',
when s fashionably dressed young
woman entered, removed her wrap,
veil and hat, handed them to the open
mouthed boy, walked to the vacant
chair, sat down in it, threw her head
back on the padded rest, and placed
her daintily shod feet on the foot
bench.
"Bangs trimmed?" asked the bar
her. "Nope, shave!" she said, gazing1 com
posedly at the ceiling.
"Huh!" grunted the wonder-stricken
barber.
"Shave," she repeated, without wink
ing, "here and here," pointing to her
upper lip and to the skin in front of
her ears, .
The barber, says the Tribune, keep
ing his eyes on her all the time, tucked
a towel under her chin, lathered the
places she had indicated, stropped the
razor and went to work. A few strokes
and it was over, and when her face
had been washed and powdered, she
left the chair, allowed the 'boy to put
on her wrap, adjusted her hat and veil
with much deliberation, and, throwing
a half dollar on the cashier's counter,
walked out. .
The effect of this. visit on the other
barbers and their victims was to cause
the barbers to forget, for the first time
in their lives, to tell the victims that
they needed shampoos, and the victims
to fail to notice the cuts in their faces
when the lady said "shave."
The barber who shaved the pretty
lady, when he recovered, ; said there
was a fine growth of hair on her face,
just enough when it got long to give
the skin a slighfly dark hue.
, ''She'd been there before," he added.

"But I don't see any. ' Wno are
they?"
"Well," said the conductor, speaking
slowly, as if he were reckoning them np
by a process of recollection, "there's
tho telegraph operator, the booking
clerk, the cloak-room clerk, the signal
man, the storekeeper, the accident in
surance agent, the postmaster, and one
or two other officials. You'll find 'em
in Bide the station."
"That isn't so bad," the traveler
thought, and as the train started he en
tered the door. The station was dimly
lighted, with no one in sight but a
sandy-haired man at the telegraph in
strument. "Where are the others?" asked the
traveler.
"What others?" answered the tele
graph operator.
"Why, the cloak-room man, the book
ing clerk, the postmaster and the rest"
The man began to grin.
"Oh, it is that conductor again," he
said. '
"Well, where are they?" repeated the
traveler, with. some asperity.
The sandy-haed man tapped him
self on the chest..
"Them's me," he said. "Come In and
sit with us."
And the traveler, appreciating the
joke a sort of e pluribus unum re
versed, accepted tho invitation, and
found .himself in pretty good company.
"In that country once known as the
'Great American 'Desert,' embracing a
portion of Texas and Arizona, there are
no odors," said a citizen of Dallas to a
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. "There
luscious grapes and many other fruits
grow, especially near the cross timber
country, but there is no perfume; wild
flowers have no smell, and carcasses of
dead animals, which in dry seasons are
very plentiful, emit no odor. It was
always supposed to be a treeless plain,
upon which no plant could grow or
breathing thing could live, but a large
part of it is now successfully cultivated,
and but for the rarity of the atmos
phere, causing the peculiarity I have
named, and . the mirages, which are
aven more perfect than in the Desert of
Sahara, no one would look upon it as a
barren country now; Another singu
lar feature common to the desert land
is that objects at a great distance ap
pear greatly magnified. A few scraggy
mesquite bushes will look like a noble
forest; stakes driven into the ground
will seem like teleeraoh nolea."
