THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.
Ia the opinion of one who has tray-
Wad much and observed closely, the
■ort truly and rightfully contested
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what Is
known as the Upper White River Coun
try. anywhere from Newport, Ark., to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be
cause their surroundings are Ideal and,
■atil recently, the great, uneasy, dls
fdeUng world, with its artificial needs
.and Inadequate compensations, has
jheea to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
aad by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than In the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with irre
sistible force to the independent-spir
ited Anglo-Saxon. Every man Is the
snprcme ruler of his own little prin
cipality; acknowledging no master
nave the law—and possibly his fem
inine helpmeet; cringing to no em
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether ho more than dimly
realises the fact. He accepts as a mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces In abundance every cultiv
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for
ests of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds of miles to find. He is con
tented, but small credit is his for that,
for how could he well be otherwise
than content? Tt is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con
tinue, but It is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its Incomparable fea
tures. A railroad has recently cut Its
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustle of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been In
the world’s history— the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands beforo we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov
ered anew by a class of immigrants
better capable of Judging its possibil
ities—the men who seek modest
'homes where the “lay of the land"
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tle can fatten on free range, • where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

TUMORS CONQUERED
SERIOUS OPERATIONS AVOIDED.
Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pink
barn’s Vegetable Compound in the
Case of Mrs. Fannio D. Fox.
One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the conquering of woman's dread en
emy, Tumor.
The growth of a tumor is so sly that
frequently its presence is not suspected
until it is far advanced.
So-called “wandering pains” may
oomc from its early stages, or the
Cence of danger may be made muni
by profuse monthly periods, accom
panied bv unusual pain, from the
abdomen through the groin and thighs.
If you have mysterious pains, if there
arc indications of inflammation or dis
placement, secure a bottle of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound right
sway and begin its use.
Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will
give you her advice If you will write
hereabout yourself. She is the daugh
ter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and
for twenty-five years has been advising
sick women free of charge.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—

FRIBCO DURING VACATION.
TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCES.
Travels from Coast to Coast and
Back to Omaha Without Paying
Cent of Fare—Partner Is
Shanghaied.
Milwaukee, Wis. —With face bronzed
by exposure In the open air, and
hands roughened by hard work In the
fields, Oscar F. Aschfnan, a junior at
Union college. New York, is on Ills
way back east after beiug a tramp
for two months.
"Yes,” said Mr. Aschman, in an In
terview, “I have been a hobo for Uje
last two months, and I must say I
have had enough of it. It was ray
first experience of the kind and it
ought to be my last, and yet I’m
afraid that next year the fever will he
on me to try It again. This is not
the only time I have been in Milwau
kee. 1 passed through here about
June 20 on my way west. For ob
voius reasons I did not stop at a hotel
or go sightseeing very much. I came
in at 12 o'clock midnight on a freight,
and went out on another freight 20
minutes afterward.
“The people generally don't know
anything about that traveling that
goes on in this country by men who
don’t pay their railroad fare. When
I left I thought, of course, that I
should be obliged to take the passen
ger trains in some places. But here
1 am ufter a trip from Batavia, N. Y.,
to San Francisco and back again to
Omaha, and I never paid a cent for
riding on a train.
“At Omaha, where I have some rela
tives, I ripped some bills out of my
vest, bought some clothes, and have
traveled the rest of the way In style.
"All through the west I found plen
ty of work lying around for anyone
who wanted it. At Butte a common
laborer is paid three dollars a day.
If a man knows a trade he gets more
in proportion. I worked a week
there pushing a cement car in a new
building. Then I quit and made a hike
south to some of the ranches. The
work there is hard. They pay you
well, but you are on your feet in hay
ing time from five o’clock in the morn
ing till late at night. I had all I
wanted at that game In a few days.
"In Missoula I formed a partnership
with a hobo who had been hitting the
trail since the year one. Ho was a
little hit of everything; seemed to
have worked at about every trade un
der the sun, and he carried a nice,
bright revolver in his hip pocket. We
didn’t loaf any on our trip, you can
bet. There wasn't a freight train
in the schedule from the time we left
Sonia to the morning we plunked
down in Seattle. Most of the way
we rode passengers. How? Well, It
wasn't on the cushions, hut we got
there just the same.
“If you ever noticed a passenger
car, you’d remember the sort of a
broad inverted trough that runs along
the top. Well, you flatten out on that
about nine o'clock at night when it’s
nice and dusky and there you are.
At stations you climb down to the
off side and hide, and when the train
starts up you get on top again.

claimed to be a student at the Uni

found a number of ships coming and

“There was a full-rigged ship lying

no trace of Flanders. Then the of

Have Died But for Cuticura.”
“My little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a physi

worse. Then they began to come on
his arms, then on other parts of his
body, and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others. Then I called
another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about a year
and a half of suffering he grew so bad
I had to tie his hands in cloths at
night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be a mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I
rent to the drug store and got a cake
of the Soap and a box of the Oint
ment. and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.
A Mich, woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agred wtih her and her husband. She
writes:
“Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
“I had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to
my housework—both of us using cof
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
“One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say—he was
fond of coffee.
“But I took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used a cup of
It since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after I begaq Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can’t be said of
coffee.
“A lady visited us who was always
half sick. I told her I’d make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it. boiling it thoroughly for 15 min
utes, and when done she said It was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality.” Name given

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.
Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in a recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that a pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders.
He says that if the quantity of alum
contained in a sufficient quantity of
baking powder for a batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con
centrated to one mouthful of food,
and taken Into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome In proper quanti
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

“I see, Carlisle, that the supreme
court has overruled you in the case
of Mullins versus Jenkinson. But,”
he added, in his grand way, “you, Car
lisle, need feel no concern about your
reputation.”
Carlisle chuckled. “Quite so." he
agreed. “I’m only concerned for the
reputation of the supreme court.” —
