It May Interest You to Know
that during June, July and August, each season, sixty to eighty
thousand summer visitors are entertained in “COOL COLORADO,”
for which there is ample reason.
Limited space forbids mention of even a small fraction of its
many varied delights, but among them the
Great Colorado Chautauqua Assembly
AT BOULDER,
is suggested as a principal, affording at minimum expense, as it
does for thousands annually, weeks of Musical, Intellectual and
Miscellaneous Entertainment by the cream of the nation’s talent.
Develop your curiosity enough to ask us for a complete pro-
gramme and other particulars, and you will be surprised.

he Importance of Doing Your Best.
Anything that is worth doing
at all is worth doing well,* is an
adage whose truth ought to ap-
ply to everything undertaken by
mankind. In God’s esteem
there is no unimportant work
in any field of industry. Hon-
orable work in any line is worthy
of praise when conscientiously
rendered. Sometimes we erect
artificial standards for certain
vocations and thereby discrimi-
nate , against other fields of
labor. We look upon some of
them as more honorable and
respectable than others, and we
are occasionly disposed to look
with an air of disdain upon what
we are pleased to term menial
service. Such distinctions are
not of God. but of man. True,
some callings are more desir-
able than others, for reasons
not necessary to mention; but
honest toil ought to be and is
respectable everywhere. Not
long since we were standing on a
street corner, and a young man
in rough garb came up and
spoke to us, and* he was holding
in his hand a pair of ice-tongs.
On inquiry he wTas a stout young
fellow whom we had met some
time before as a delegate to a
district conference in the in-
terior of the state. He had come
to the city, and wanted employ-
ment. A diligent search failed
to bring him the job which was
in keeping with his tastes and
aptitude, so he took the next
thing that presented itself,
which was a position on an ice-
wagon. > To this he was giving
his best energy ’till he could get
something more in accord with
his wish. He did exactly right,
and his honest and faithful ser-
vice in that capacity will bring
to him something more remuner-
ative and a little more desirable
in the near future. The woman
who does your week’s washing,
the man who acts as scavenger
upon your streets, the carpenter
who does you good work on
your house, the man whom you
pay to hoe your cotton, the ser-
vant who does your cooking—
these people are doing a noble
service, and in the sight of God
they are as honorable as Sir
Isaac Newton with his telescope
mapping out the heavens. Fidel-
ity in any position is the test of
merit, and the man who is faith-
ful [is worthy of all praise.
When you do your best in any
service, you are a nobleman ac-
cording to the gospel standard.
To take any other view of the
case is unworthy and contempt-
ible. Only unfaithfulness ought
to bar a man from social recog-
nition, and nothing else. It is
so with God, audit ought to be
so with men. Do your best in
any sphere, and there is a place
for you in this life and in the
life to come.—Texas Christian
Advocate.
Two men went into a hotel to
get a dinner. One of them called
a waiter, and slipping a half dol-
lar into his hand, gave his order.
The other man took a $5 gold
piece from his inside pocket and
laid it beside his plate in sight of
the waiters. In a minute or two
they were fairly falling over each
Other to wait on the man with the
$5 coin, while the man who had
put up his four-bits on the start
was rather neglected, and even
had to do some roaring before he
could get his dinner at all. When
the man with the gold coin had
filled himself leisurely with the
best the waiters could bring and
cleansed his fingers in the finger
bowl, he quietly picked up his
coin, put it in his pocket and
walked out. “I have noticed
frequently, ” he remarked as he
picked his teeth, “that people
will do more for what they ex-
pect to get out of you than for
what they have already gotten.”

Random Thoughts.
There are a great many people
who put on Sunday manners just
as they do Sunday clothes, and
take them off as soon as they get
back inside their own gates. . It
is so easy for them to be kind
and gentle and polite in com-
pany, but once out of the public
gaze it is just as easy to be surly
and cross and disagreeable.
I know that it is hard for some
people to keep in a good humor
all the time, but the same effort
should be made at home that is
made away from home, and if
this is done, there will be less
cause for worry and bad tempers
at home. There is a natural dis-
position to relax these efforts at
keeping sweet in the household
that should be constantly watch-
ed and striven against, for it is
there., most harm can come from
ill temper and crossness. In a
family of a dozen any one mem-
ber can get up in the morning
out of humor, and show it either
by words or actions, and start
the whole family off for the day
feeling badly and poorly prepar-
ed for the day’s duties. If two
or three start out a day this way,
there is made a miserable day
for the others, strive as they will
to throw off the spell.
Many who maintain a pleasant
disposition when feeling entirely
well, allow sickness to put them
out of humor, and the least
symptom of physical disorder,
proceed to make it merry for the
rest of the family. Because they
feel badly, they think it tlieir
duty to put others in the same
condition. It is usually a pleas-
ure for all members of the fami-
ly to minister to the cheerful in-
valid, and to do all possible to re-
lieve every suffering, but it be-
comes a burden after awhile if
the sufferer maintains a sullen,
cheerless, crabid manner. The
reciprocal obligation which each
member of a family bears to eve-
ry other should prompt all to do
their best to maintain a good,
cheerful feeling in health and in
sickness. It does not pay an in-
valid to be cross, for all doctors
will tell you that your own good
demands that you should be
cheerful, and that a happy dis-
position will often do more good
than medical treatment.
If the effort to be pleasant in
company requires such a relaxa-
tion in the home that the same
pleasant disposition can not be
maintained there, for the love of
your home and those who are
dear to you, pay less attention to
your company manners. Wear
your suit of Sunday manners ev-
ery day, abroad and at home,
even if it is not quite so attract-
ive to the public as if only exhib-
ited occasionally.
I am frank to admit that I do
not always practice as I preach,
but I try to do it, and whenever
I find myself going wrong, I pull
right up as quickly as I can and
do my best to get the right
course. At times it looks like,
in trying to control myself, I
have a hard customer to deal
with, but every victory over my
own temper and my bad disposi-
tion fits me better for the next
struggle. If I did not try and
try hard, I rather suspect it
would be unpleasant enough for
anybody to live in the same house
with me. By constant effort
along these lines, I hope yet to
get such mastery of myself as I
should have. It is folly for any
one to say that he can’t control
his disposition and therefore will
not try. This is merely an ad-
mission that he does not care to
try. Will H. Mayes.

Costly in Texas.
There are plenty of ways to be
a fool, and our laws give a wTide
range of liberty in this matter.
The price of cucumbers is too
low to justify our people to raise
and pickle them, yet we mort-
gage our land to the northerner
who does raise them and pay
freight on pickles to our doors.
If we raise a crop of tomatoes
they “don’t sell for anything,”
yet months later we buy them
shipped from Maryland, and
then mortgage our land for the
money we paid. You don’t get
pay for your trouble in making
and taking care of butter, yet
Dallas jobbers buy Kansas but-
ter by the ton, and the Kansas
farmers have paid off nearly two-
thirds of outside mortgages
within the past three years.
Hogs ain’t worth shipping, yet
we find already farmers mort-
gaging their mules, wagon, and
even unplanted cotton to buy
Yankee sow-belly at mortgage
prices. Oh, no, there’s no limit
to the kind of fools we may be,
only it costs like thunder to play
the fool in Texas.—Arlintgon

Collection of Misprints.
At a literary dinner in New
York C. D. Gibson, the illustra-
tor, quoted a number of amusing
misprints. Mr. Gibson said he
had been gathering misprints
for several years, and already
had in his collection 200 good
specimens.
He first quoted a misprint
about a bishop who was confined
to the house with a violent cold.
The newspaper that mentioned
the prelate’s illness said he was
“confined to the house with a
violent scold.”
Another quotation concerning
a British gentleman who had
joined a party of friends in
Hampshire for the purpose of
shooting pheasants. This the
compositor had made to read:
“He has joined a party of friends
in Hampshire for the purpose of
shooting peasants.”
“That, though,” said Mr. Gib-
son, “is an old and famous mis-
print, and you may have heard
of it before. You may, too, have
heard of the one about a ‘sur-
geon taken alive in the river that
sold for six cents a pound. ’ But
I doubt if any of you have heard
of the misprint that appeared
last February in a Vermont
newspaper. This paper wished
to say, in praise of a very aged
and distinguished citizen:
“‘John Green is a noble old
burgher, proudly loving his na-
tive State.’
“But the typo made this sen-
tence run:
“‘John Green is a noble old
burglar, prowling around in a
naked state.” ’
Dr. C. J. Moffett i£ a graduate of
medicine and has as much right to
prescribe for the sick as any physi-
cian, and gives to mothers his
“TEETHINA” as the best remedy they
can find for their teething children.
“TEETHINA” aids digestion, regu-
lates the bowels, overcomes and.coun-
teracts the summer’s heat and makes
teething easy. 49

Jacksonville Drug Co. Guarantees That
Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case of
Catarrh in Jacksonville.
When one of the most reputable
concerns in Jacksonville guaran-
tees that a medicine will effect a
cure or they will refund the mon-
ey, it speaks volumes as to the
merits of that remedy. It is in
this way that the Jacksonville
Drug Co., is sellingHyomei, the
treatment that has made so many
remarkable cures of both acute
and chronic catarrh in Jackson-
ville and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with a
tablespoon or wineglass. Jyst
breathe it by the aid of an inhaler
that comes in every outfit and
benefit will be seen from the first
treatment.
It destroys all germ life in the
air passages and lungs and en-
riches and purifies the blood with
additional ozone. It cures catarrh
of the head and throat, or of the
stomach, liver and kidneys.
Whereve-r mucuous membrane
contains catarrh germs, there
Hyomei will do its work of heal-
ing. When using this treatment
the air you breathe will be found
like that on the mountains high
above the sea level, where grow
balsamic trees and plants which
make the air pure by giving off
volatile antiseptic fragments that
is healing to the respiratory or-
gans.
Complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00, and includes aninhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei
for several weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does
not cure you, the Jacksonville
Drug Co. will refund your money.
This is a good time to cure ca-
tarrh by this natural method and
prevent catarrhal colds that are
so common at this season.
The clock that keeps good time
should be right about face.

for $12.50, which I claimed was
excessive for a case of cholera

praised his medical skill and
medicine. I asked him if it was
not Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera

as I had good reason to believe
it was, and he would not say un-
