“Don’t dwell unnecessarily upon your

Mrs Clymer could not forget that
she was a woman, and that love is a
woman’s forte.
(i. Lady Somerset said: “The world
is waking up to the great difference

one would dare utter now

these simple words, if any farmer
raises home supplies enough to fur

my land make per acre, and how
much cotton will the same acres pro

lead to the raising of cotton to tee ex

The Evil of Substitution.
Do you ever think when buying a
patent medicine that you take
chances of being imposed upon
by mercenary and unscrupulous deal
ers? If you demand time-tried and
stood-the-test medicines you take no
chances; if you take a substitute you
may be putting poison into your
system that will result, in temporary
relief and the subsequent wrecking
of your health forever. Think it
over. Did you ever hear a complaint
about Dr. Pierce’s Mediciues--Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, for tire
Liver, the blood and the lungs, or
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for
weakly women, failing todo just what
they are advertised to do? Men who
spend millions ol dollars in advertis
ing a remedy that is a benefaction to
humanity, do not tuke these chances
when there is not a sterling force, a
great remedy back of their advertise
ments. Dr. Pierce’s remedies are
guaranteed to give “value received or
no pay,” and the Journal is doing
yon a kindness, and not seeking to
advertise Dr. Pierce, when it calls
your attention to the reliability of
such standard medicines.—La Salle

that American hohor demands u dec

thoughtless people by making war

will be frightened by a fictitious pub

SIMPSON’S ROCK AT TRINIDAL
Fourteen Hays’ Constant Watch and!
Fighting, Then Heath by Starvation.
Out at Trinidad, Colo., just south of
the town, is a huge, fiat topped rock
on the top of a lull perhaps 300 feet
high, ft is called Simpson's rock, and
it is one of the historical points in tho
west. Indeed it is a fragment of his
tory from that time wlu-n heroic deeds,
made sacred bv the spilling of white
man’s blood, ushered in tho safe and
| prosperous era of white man’s rule. i
Simpson was a pioneer and camo to
| the place before the name of Trinidad
was heard. He was a freighter, and
i finding many advantages about the
spot lie prepared a home for bis family
on the hank of the Purgatoire river,
lie had a wife and two boys in iris*
home at Santa Fe, and no man ever
more lovingly prepared a lodge for his
love than this rough driver fashioned 1
a dwelling in far away Trinidad. Ha
had everything in readiness ns Ire passed
through to tlie east, and meant to bring
out his wife and children on lus next
trip west. But the Indians had risen
that fall and swept all the settlements
down the river. They found Simpson’s
borne just ready for occupancy, cap
tured the men lie hud employed to taka
care of it. und then lay in wait without
disturbing a thing till the owner should?
come. ‘
Simpson had seen signs of their rav
age's. and knew the knife ami brand
were devastating the country. lie cir
cled around bis cherished home and
saw enough to warn him. He drove to
the foothills south of tlie river, and be
gan preparations for a guarded camp.
The Indians did not wait for barricades,
but attacked at once. The helpers
were slaughtered at the first usaault,
but Simpson, with one ’ canteen of
water, fought liis way through the line
of screaming Utes and clambered up
tire bill. They followed lriin ns well os
they could, but darkness favored him*
and lie gained the hills. Next morning
early they found him, and he retreated
a little further up tlie hill, killing sev
eral of liis assailants from a bettor cov
er. In tiie afternoon they drove him
from that, and lie clambered a little
higher up. So the warfare went on.
He had shot so marry they would not
leave him alive, but they could not
capture him. Tire second night Simp-
sou retreated to tire very top of the
hill, rolled up a shelter of stones in a
spot where he could command tire one
approaelr, and waited. He had eaten
nothing, and could hope for no food.
The only chance for deliverance lay in
tire possible coming of soldiers to
avenge tire massacre of settlers. Lying
there in tire broiling sun by duy and
tire drilling air by night, tire grim old
man watched sleeples»ly, picking off
liis enemies as they crept one by one
up the path.
Day after day, for a w’eek, without
other food than cactus root, with no
water than that one canteen full, lie
stood off his enemies. He never shot
till a head was in sight, and lie always
killed. Ten days, and lie prayed for
death. Eleven, and lie lost Iris cart
