Just What is
HARDWARE?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Thirty years ago if a man or concern carried 50 different
articles of hardware, he had a very complete stock. Drop in
some day and see it you can count the different articles we
carry.
It's just another case of the world growing larger and
better and if we don't have in stock what you want, it will
be an easy matter for us to get it for you.
And it won't be any too early for you to get the neces
sary "tools" to get a regular honest-to-Pete Thanksgiving din

Rheumatism and Neuritis Yield to
Treatment in Which Purple
Rays Play Big Part.
" The usefulness of "sun baths" for
health has long been recognized. Un
limited sunshine has much to do with
the beneficial effect of a vacation at
the seashore. '
Nowadays this matter is better un
derstood than it used to be, and It is
known that the heat rays of the sun
have nothing to do with the physical
benefit obtained from such exposure.
It is the chemical rays in the sun
beamparticularly the ultra-violet
rays that do the good work.
Electric light is rich in these rays,
and many cures of rheumatism and
neuritis have been accomplished by
exposing the affected nnrt of the hnrtv
to a powerful Incandescent lamp, its
rays concentrated by a hemispherical
reflector. 1'or curative nurnoses nhv-
sicians have turned to useful account
a sort of cabinet lined with such
lamps, into which the natient. lvino-
on a padded hoard, could be slid.
iiie newest method employs a
quartz lamp containing mercury va
por, through winch the electric cur-
lent is passed. Quartz has the advnn
tnge of being extraordinarily trans
parent to ultra-violet ravs.
Such a lamp, made in the shape of
a tube of small diameter, can be in
troduced into the nasal nassaires for
the treatment of catarrh or into the
throat for the cure of infected tonsils
thus saving the nalient an onerution.

JIM BECKWORTH, MULATTO
i WHO BECAME CROW CHIEF
Jim Beckwourth, without doubt, was
the most-married man in hlst-nrv t0i-
how many wives he had Is unknown.
In his autobiography Jim mentions at
rasi seven spouses, but his reputation
for truth was not the best. Beck
wourth was the son of a Maryland
Irishman and a negress, and he was
born in 1798. When he left St. Louis
witn General Ashley's fur-trading ex
pedition in 18123 he had a sweetheart
naroeu KUza, to whom he pledged
eternal devotion.
Among the Blackfeet Indians he won
his first wife, marrying her because
It would help his trade among her
inuesineni fcoon afterwards be mar
ried her sister, too. Later he left tile
Blackfeet, to trade with the Crmvs,
and ne acquired several more wives.
Jim was a man of great strength
and a remarkable runner. One day
he was attacked by a war party who
pursued him for 93 miles before lie
finally outran them. At another time
when a force of 2,500 Arikaras and
Sioux attacked the Crows, the 'mu
latto led the Absarokes (Crows) so
bravely that 253 of the enemy were
killed. Beckwourth had three horses
shot under him in this fight and killed
14 of the Sioux. He was adopted by
the Crows, and because of his deeds in
war, he rose to the position of first
counselor, the highest honor In the
tribe.
At the outbreak of the Mexican war
he enlisted as a scout and dispatch
bearer for Gen. Phil Kearney. He
also carried dispatches to California
and he was there In 1.848, when gold
was discovered. He mined for fl whilo
until the discovery of gold in Colo
rado In 1859 luredhlm to that state.
He settled h Denver and married
again this time a negro girl.
The Crows heard of his return from
California and sent messengers to him,
begging him to return to them. Mis
fortune had come to the tribe, and
they needed his "strong medicine."
necKwourtn paid no heed to their
pleadings until 186!), when he finally
visited them. But he refused to live
with them permanently. When he
announced his Intention of returning
to Colorado, they prepared a great
farewell feast- In his honor. Beck
wourth ate their food and dropped
dead. The Crows had given him po.
son. The Crows believed his "medi
cine" would pass Into his spirit, snd
that wherever bis bones rested the
spirit would remain. They resolved
to have both, and took that means of
fitting them I

Americans were cowards, deserving
only a whipping with a hickory switch.
At last Carson faced the Frenchman.
"I am an American, and If vou are
determined to die, I am your man,"
he said. The Frenchman hesitated
