"I have used Ayer's HsirVigor
for over thirty years. It has kept
my scalp free from dandruff and
has prevented my hair from turn-
ing gray."-- Mrs. F. A. Souls,
Billings, Mont.
II
There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer's Hair
Vigor--it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
But graduallythe old~olor
comes back,--all the rich,
dark color it used to have.
The hair stops falling, too.

Veteran 9chool Closes.
The summer term of the Veteran
sclmol closed on the i~th. A program
had been arranged, the musical part by
Mrs. Slote, who very kindly assisted in
its rendition. The Veteran people were
out in full force and Mrs. Dr. Werner
and Mrs. Hall from the Worrier neighbor
hood."The Alphabetic Band," an exercise
written for the occasion, was quite well
presented by the little folks marching in
quite a soldierly manner under their
captain's orders.
THE ALI'HEBTIC BAND.
A.
I am the leading letter, here I stand
The captain of the Alphebe~lc Band,
I am beloved, I'm found In every heart;
I'm useful too, I aid in every art
I make you artless, sometimes artful too,
But which It Is will all depend on you,
Without me you would dwell in endless nlght,
For neither lamps nor candles there could be,
Nor any day to shed a cheering light,
Nor polar star to guide the ships at sea,
i will not boast but this i'll say,
You can't but see your need of me,
Then pay all due respect to A,
The captain of this company.
Elvlra Esplnosa.

And sinee I do my work right well,

i hope you'll pay respect to B,
The second in this company.

For without E, you'd have no ear
No car to hear, no tongue to talk,
And worse, no lees with which to walk.
Harry Roberts.

And without me you'd have uo friend,
With faith, friends aml friendship ilown
EacI~ one would live for self alone.

We are both fond of leather.

Astounded the Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown of Bonnettsville,
S. C., was once immensely surprised
"Through long suffering from dyspep-
sia," he writes, "my wife wee greatly run
down. She had no strength or vigor
lad suffered great distress from her
stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters
which helped her at once, and, after
using four bottles, she is entirely well
can eat anything. Its~'a grand tonic, and
its gentle laxative qualities are splendid
for torpid liver." For indigestion, loss
of appetite, stomach and "liver troubles
its a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50
cents at Lord & Wilccx's drug store,
Crestone, Colo.
My stock of wall paper will be at
CRESCENT
Denton's, next door to office.
Also books of fancy samples and low
prices, 25 per cent off of regular price.
Will do painting or papering as usual.

Prospect, Pa., Aug. 19, ]901.
Friend Bryan:--I write you a synopsis
of the crop conditions of the several states
through which I passed since leaving
Colorado. In Kansas from the west line
of the state to Dodge City, pastures
Crops and stock look well. From Dodge
almost to Emporia they have very poor
pasture and crops. (Wheat excepted,
they had a good crop of wheat all over
the state.) Corn will scarcely make fod-
der.
I dropped off at Emporia and went
down into Coffoy Co. I found pastures
in fine condition there, the country looked
as fresh and green as in May. Corn not
fired badly. Will make abundance of
good feed, but very little corn, as the
tassel was killed by the excessive heat as
soon as it came out a nd before the pol-
len appeared. I stayed i- Coffey Co.
about a week and saw quite a good deal
of the country. The farmers there will
have plenty of food, and some to spare.
If the weather permits 90 per cent of the
corn will be cut for fodder. One firm in
Burlington has sold throe car loads of
corn binders. As an example of the in-
tentions of the farmers, on my place
there is usually from 120 to 140 acres of
corn grown each year, from 20 to 30 acres
are usually cut for fodder. This year
130 acres will be cut.
After leaving Coffey Co. for the east
from Ealporia to Kansas City the crops
are very spotted. Some fields look fairly
well while others won't make fodder.
taken all together, from information ob-
tained from all sources, and with con-
tinued favorable weather, Kansas will
have about 40 per cent of a corn crop.
Missouri, well I don't like to say any-
thing about Missouri in regard to the
drouth, as they are very touchy on that
subject. If Kansas had caught it a lit.
tie worse than Missouri, they wouldn't
have cared, but as it is the other way
they are not in the proper frame of mind
to discuss the subject. The statistician
who said that the drouth had damaged
the state $100,000,000 ought to have
went them $50,000,000 better.
Southern Illinois, along the Vandalia
line via Terre Haste to Indianapolis,
Ind., is yet suffering for rain. Corn en-
tirely ruined, scarcely worth cutting for
fodder; pastures brown and bare. From
Indianapolis to Columbus, Ohio, pasture
better; corn crop fair; some good corn.
Raining hard at Pittsburgh, Pa.; crops
and pastures looking fine hero, saw the
best corn hero of any place on my trip,
and the finest fields of buckwheat I eve?
! saw.
I haven't been able to quit the wooden
legs yet.
Respectfully yours,
T. M. ALEXANDER.
Don't bo satisfied with temporary re-
lief from indigestion. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure permanently and completely re-
moves this complaint. It relieves per-
manently because it allows the tired
stomach perfect rest. Dieting won't rest
the stomach. Nature receives supphos
from the food we eat. The sensible way
to help the stomach is to use Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, which digests what you eat
and can't help but do you good. Sa-
guache Pharmacy.

Took a Shot at Mexican Pete.
Walsenburg, Colo. Aug. 26"Mexican
Pete Everett, the alleged prize fighter,
came near having his career cut short
hero by a bullet Saturday afternoon. Of
late Everett has been hanging around
Charlis Mazzone's saloon, much to the
annoyaucs of the proprietor. Saturday
noon the would-be "pug" was ordered
out of the place. Everett complied un-
der protest.
During the afternoon Everett returned
to the saloon and immediately started a
row with Mazzono. The saloon keeper
struck at Everett with a revolver, but
the latter executed a sidestep and beat a
hasty retreat for the door. Mazzone
took a shot at the fleeing Mexican and
missed his head by only a few inches.
The bullet passed thr,~ugh the panel of
the door and imbedded itself in a wall
not four inches from the spot where
Mazzone's little son was sitting. It is
said that Everett is s~ill hot footing for
the hills.--Post.

The Burlington route announces a rate
)f $36.90, less than one fare from Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Denver, and Inter-
mediate puints, to Cleyelapd, Ohio, and
return. Thorate from other points in
Colorado will be one fare added to the
nearest point from which the ~6.00 rate
applies. All agents will be instructed to
sell through tickets on September 7th to
10th inclusive, routed via the Burlington
if so desired by the purchaser. These
tmkets wilbbe limited to September 15
with privilege of extension to leave

tot service. One can leave De~er on
the Burlington's famous Chicago special

ond morning at 7.40, the only~ cl~apge of

Teatize a profit, bu-t are in operation for
the convenience of the traveling public,
