I Take Yoar Choice.
The Buddhists believe that happi-
ness, Nirvana, consists in self efface-
trtent, oblivion. The young Buddhas
began life by sitting unsupported in
the air just after birth. Their mothers,
attained Nirvana Immediately, and
they, the Buddhas, reached Nirvana In
various queer ways.
One earnest Buddha, one of the earli-
est of the long line, earned the "Nibbu*
ta" as follows;
A hawk was about to devour a small
bird. Said the Buddha to the bird of
prey:
"I boReech thee, leave this little crea-
ture In peace. I will give thee Its
fevoight from my own' flesh."
Down from heaven came a pair of
pcales, nnd the transaction was accom-
plished. The small bird sat on one side
of the scales, and the Buddha began
Jtting slices of his body into the other
Ide, while the bird of prey looked on
with nn evil eye. As the'Buddha carv-
ed himself up the little bird seemed to
pet heavier and heavier. The beam of
the scales did not move until the last
particle of the saint's body was put in
the scales.
The Buddhists' legends do not tell
how the saint managed to carve up hts
last few fragments, but that is not im-
portant Which do you think was hap-
pier, the Buddha who entered into Nir-
Tana as the little bird flew away or the
bird of prey that made a hearty meal
ef the saint's flesh and sailed off de-
lighted with his bargain?—New York

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil-
ter out tho waste or
impurities In the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu-
matism come from ex-
cess of uric acid In the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kinney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to bo considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin-
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistako
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
S\vamp-!£oot, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits

For The Vernon Sun.
resentative of the National Exchange IA few years ago I became acquainted with an old lady at
Drug Co., Kansas City aud gave his j Fernandino, F1&., who had lost her only son in an ocean
disaster. His ship went down, off the Irish coast, with, all
on board. The news unbalanced the mother's mind, and
ever afterward, when the day of the month arrived on which
he should have returned, she could be found, at sunset,
standing at the little side gate watching for him who lay
fathoms deep beneath the salt waves of the Atlantic.
A Skeleton In Bverr Cloaet,
The expression "There Is a skeleton
to every closet" is said to have its
origin in the fact that a soldier once
/Wrote to his mother, who complained
tof her unhappiness, to have some sew-
ing done for him by some one who
had uo cares or troubles. At last the
tnother found a woman who seemed
to have no troubles, but when she told
iier business the woman took her to a
closet containing a skeleton and said:
"Madam, I try to keep my troubles to
myself but every night 1 am com-
pelled by my husband to kiss this skel-
eton, who was once his. rival. Think
■you, then. I can be happy?"

SINKING SHIPS.
Tfcejr Don't Linger In Mtdoeean, bat
Go to the Bottom.
What becomes of the ships that sink
at sea? Do they go all the way to the
bottom or do they meet somewhere un-
der the surface a certain pressure that
buoys them up and holds them in equi-
librium? Somebody, we forget who it
Is, has given rein to his grewsome fan-
cy and pictured all the ships that have
been lost in midocean as wandering
about like so many ghosts half way be-
tween the surface and the bottom.
There Is no foundation whatever for
such a notion, though many persons
have it Any object that will sink be-
neath the surface of the sea will go all
the way to tho bottom. The pressure
encountered on the way down, which is
simply enormous in the deeper parts,
has nothing to do with the object's
sinking, for it is exerted on the object
uame as G. W. Clark. He called on
the Howell Drug Co. and told Mr."
Howell of the company he was repre
snuting and that their business was
to exchange new patent medicines for
old ones, charging only a small per
cent cash, difference. Mr. Howell,
like all other druggists had, iu the
course of years., accumulated some
i<ods t hut were not ready sale and
.as willing to rid shelves of these and
(•-place them with new goods, so he
went through his stock and got down
all the old medicines that he wanted
10 exchange and selected such new
uues as he tiisired.
The cash per cent to be paid by Mr
unveil iu exchange amounted to
^14.00, this Clark aeked be paid to
■ mi as he hud been away from the
railroad for several days and was short
•i ready cabh, and that he would
mark it paid and report it so to hi*
ouso with the order. As Mr. How
>1 quite often does, with traveling
en, be advanced the money and
Clark told him not to ship the old
goods until the new ones were received
The ordor was mailed to the firm
Ht Kansas City* but after Clark had
ieft town Mr. Howell noticed that it
was in a plain envelope so he writes
his return card on one corner. AH
went well until last Saturday night
the Howell Drug Co. received a no
lice from the postal department at
Kansas City stating that they held a
letter with their return card, ad-
dressed to the National Exchange
Drug Co. aud that no such firm exist-
ed in that eity. This was the first
.me Mr. Howell thought of beiny
worked and he realized that it was a
good job
He notified Sheriff Powell of the
circumstance and Joe at once began
"His ship sailed away, through the sea-mists grey,
When a blood-red sun hung low in the west,
And ever, and ever, it seems that I hear
His cry for help in the wave's white crest;
They say he was lost on a sea tempest-tos't,
And every soul on the ship met its fate,
But, mother knows best—the ship was not lost—-
And she can wait—yes, mother can wait!
"I cannot believe that my Father would grieve
A heart bo tender, so loving and true,
For he w as my all since his father was slain.
In defence of his flag, the red, white and blue;
I watched by his bed in sweet infancy,
And prayed, as only a mother can pray,
That God in Hi3 mercy would spare me my boy
To comfort his mother when aged and grey,
"And, telh*st thou me, he sleeps rneath the sea,
That never again shall I see his dear face?
Go talk to the winds, as they sleep orer the iea,.
Or the wild, mad waves, as they land-ward race,
Come not to me with these tales of shipwreck,
To murder the hope so strong in my breast}
I tell you he'll come, before the set of the sun,
And then I will rest—yes, rest—sweet rest! "

Denver, Colorado,
January 3Is ?, 1901.
The first annual convention oi
the Ameiicau Cattle Growers' As
-notation is hereby called to meet
it Denver, Colorado, at the Tabor
<Tran<* Opera House, at 10 o'clock
A. M., Tuesday, March 5th, 1901,
for the purpose of effecting per-
manent organization, adopting a
constitution and fry-laws an£ for
*ucii general business as may prop-
erly come before the convention.'
The present basis of representa-
tion for this association rsiudivid
ual membership,and! any citizen,
ofcattle grower and owher, rs elig-
ible for membership upon pay-
ment of initiation fee of live dol-
lars, nnd will be entitled to one
vote in tbis convehtion.
The order of business for the
first convention shall be as fol-
lows : Convention called to or

The American Cattle Growers'
Association was formed in full ac-
cord with the muin object of the
National Live Stock Association,
theu in session at Salt Lake City.
Ail other live stock interests have
exclusive national organizations
except the cattle growers through
which to advance their interests.
The eattle growers, naturally,

wished and determined to have an
organization of their own, which
will take all action, offensive or
defensive, to protect any interest
peculiar to their industry- It is
earnestly hoped that all cattl©
growers will join this association.
~ The present idea is for individ-
ual membership to form the basis
of this association, which will givtr
a small cattle ghwer as mucfc
voice on the fioor.of the conven-
tion hall as a large owner, but
this will be finally settled at th®
Urst convention. The only qual-
ification necessary for member-
ship is to be a cattle grower andi
owner
At present membership may b®
secured by sending your name and!
address to the Secretay, Union
Stock Yards, Denver, Colorado,,
or to your state committeeman (or
personally at the convention)1,, to-
gether with five dollars, the initia-
tion fee than waa accepted! at th® '
meeting ait which this association
formed its temporary organiza-
tion. It i expected that the fail-
ways will make a greatly reduced
rate for the round trip to Denver.
This association is to protect
and advance the interests of alt
cattle growers,, large or smallr
equally, and we want them al* on
the membership roll. It is es-
pecially desired that a 'large at-
tendance be bad at the coming
convention at Denver,, and any
cattle grower who can possibly
come is urged to do so. They may
be.asjsured that the proceeding*
of the convention will be highly
beneficial, and their stay in Den-
ver exceedingly pleasaut.
By Order Executive Committee,.
H. H. ROBINSON, President.
A. E. di£ RicqleS, Secretary.
