YOUR OWN FAULT.
If Things Go Wrong It Is Due to 111
TemperLesson Id Every Day life.
Written For The Courier.
Why is it that a bureau drawer
will on occasions act so very obsti
nate? I have observed all my life
that it require, soui knowledge of
sleight of hand to open and stmt a
bureau drawer in a respectable man
ner, that is in a cool, composed, and
collected way; and especially is this
a great feat indeed if there are look
ers on.
When you are alone in the pri
vacy of your own sanctum you may
with impunitv challetige your bu
reau for a conflict, but don't upon
any account no matter how your
nerves may quiver for the fray, have
open warfare with this piece of use
ful furniture.
I have made, bold to pull open a
bureau drawer when no eurtb.lv eyes
looked on; aud 1 have gone up and
opened baltle with as much .assur
ance as Alexander ever did I
would take hold of the knobs hold
ing them even, and draw steadily
toward me; and I would be cool anil
collected, for there is nothing like
coolness and great re'.f possession
when dealing with trickery of auy
kind.
Well, as I wi3 siyiiig, I would
walk up to that bureau drawer, take
hold quietly but (Irmly; aud pull
without any foolishness straight for
ward, witi ho effect w hat ever. I could
not see that any impression vas
being made vst evcu a fuint squeak
would reward my efforid, .vliich after
awhile would Incline lieioic. Aly
whole frame would bend to the task,
but not a sign of relenting fwu
the antagonist.
I would forget all foirr.s of self
government, the worst features oi
my temper would get a chance for
display, and there would be au elec
tive display that would have sileiiftd
all meteoric firearms forever .ind a
day.
In lucid moments when restin;;
before the inquisitorial relic, my
faculties would wonder, and dwell
upon ail kinds of propellers or
mighty movers, the gut powers
which moved the rocks for the Pyra
mids take tangible shape to m-; and
I long for some Titian power to pro
duce some gieat upheaval which i
shall shake the very foundation of
that bureau; and cause that obstinate,
contrary, leceptie'e to perform its
appointed task: and let me get what
I want, but no! I cannot badge the
contemptible thing tin hnudredth
pait of an iuob!
At this point a cold perspiration
accumulates upon my forehead,
finger prints are showing upon the
".arnuh of the knob. I think of all
kinds of things, like I suppose
filled Lee's heart at Appomattox
There is a change for the better
right here, at kust better feelings.
I know I am conquered; but like all
noble aud truly great people I ri:.&
superior to all such, aud mp dowu
glorious in delcat!
I walk off, and coolly survey my
fearful opponent at arms length;
and just to feel the great wave of
my noble surrender onee more, and
get the full beiufit of its ennobling
influence I calmly and bravely catch
hold of those knohs still warm with
the pressure of my h:nit!s, when In!
Angels defend rip, out conies the
drawer; there is a gasp, and I catch
myself in the act of tailing igno
miniousl', and notbefoie an enemy,
but a bureau as quiet inoffensive
piece of furniture as o::e would care
to bp ho Id.
It bra been h:nt"d at by tome of
the older writers that only men get
into these battles I have just stiokeu
ofbut that is all rubbish, they do
have just sm h experience; buth;iv
a grear, way of holding :.heir tongue,
concerning fearful opponents, io
the world has never heard of thei
battles, which would shame ours to
silence.
Yours truly.

Absolutely A Change.
About seven years ago my health
began to fail, I was completly ruu
down, aud my blood got in a bad
condition. I suffered with severe
pains in differeut parts of my body,
so severe that I could not be in any
position long at a time, and in cou
sequence of this I did not kno.v
hat it was to get a good night's
rest. I had been taking different
medicines for the trouble for thru?
years, but got no relief. Then I
thought I would try Mrs. Joe
Person's Renndy. I hud no faiih
in it, or anything else tor my ease
bnt I thought it would be a change.
The third night after I started on it.
I got the lirsr, night's sleep I had
had in many mouths. 1 became
hopeful. The Remedy relieved the
ferrule pains I had been suffering
from so long, and being able to
sleep well at nigiif, I soon began to
ftel like a new m m. My appetite
began to improve, 1 began to build
up in eerv respect, I continued i;s
us- until 1 to.ik about three doz.-n !
bottles, when 1 knew 1 was a well j
man. I have been cured four years, i
nave never felt those p'tins since,
and am now a perfectly healthy mm,
nor have I ever needed any of the
Kemedy since.

"I was a total wreck," writes Mrs. Beulah
Rowley, of Champoeg, Oregon, "from pains I had
suffered, for 4 years, every month. Sometimes I
would be unconscious for 12 hours at a stretch. I
did not know that anything could stop the pain
entirely, but Wine of Cardui did. 1 advise all
women suffering with painful periods to use Car

This man bought a supply of tobacco with
out acquainting himself with the distinctive taste
of SCHNAPPS Tobacco, which has the cheering
qualities that gratify his desire to ctew, and at
less expense than cheap tobacco.
SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this
paper so that every chewer has had an
opportunity to get acquainted with the
facts and know that drugs are not used
to produce the cheering quality found in
the famous Piedmont country Hue-cured
tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he
ought to chew. Still there are chewers
who accept other and cheaper tobaccos
that do not give the same pleasure.
Some day they'll get a taste of the real
Schnapps they realize what enjoyment
they've missed by rot g tting SCHNAPPS
long ago then they'll feel like kicking
themselves. SCHNAPPS is sold everywhere in 5
cent cuts, and' 10 and 15 cent plugs. Be
sure you get the cenuine.
