A Humorist, Philosopher, Editor, Ora tor and Preacher All In One, and How It Happened. When Editor Paul M. Pearson, of Philadelphia, heard Parlette, he ex- plained his versatility as in the case of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Dame Na- ture was at work one day stirring up men, manners and morals, when there came a hurry call from earth for a hu- morist, a poet, an essayist and a doe - tor. Poor old lady! She had all the essences necessary, but had clay enough for only one man. Earth couldn't wait, so she moulded her one man, flavored with all four essences, and sent Oliver Wendell Holmes to earth. Dame Nature got into the same sort of trouble again back in the seventies. Ouly material for one man, and humorist, philosopher, coun- try editor and lecturer called for! So she repeated her old trick, added a spice of preacher for good measure, and dispatched Ralph Parlette into this work\ of sorrows, with parting command to brighten it up as much as possible. And he is doing it. Just to look at him on the platform makes you feel happy. You see a \pale skinny, scared man with irre- sponsible hair, lantern jaws, giraffic neck, terrific mouth and heroic sized feet—an emaciated, nervous wreck.\ The matinee girl whispers to her chum, \Isn't he beautifully ugly?\ And you writhe in ecstacy as you real- ize that he Is homelier than you are. The whole audience is in smiles be- fore he has jerked the last kinks out of his bow, and is ready to begin. But when he does begin, he preaches a side-splitting sermon; he philosoph- ically tells you how to make yourself and the world better, and you forget all about the awkward man, and on- ly see the sun shine, and feel that the world is good. \The world is good\—that is the message which this humorist lay. preacher is delivering in his lecture, \Pockets and Paradises.\ which I heard. \I tell you frankly, if I had been present at creation I cannot think of a thing I would have suggest- ed as an improvement.\ Ile makes you feel it that way, too. You go to the lecture with the rain pouring down from your mental skies, and no um- brella or overshoes and when he gets through the rain has stopped, and you wonder how your sky could ever have been cloudy. You suddenly see your sorrows as things for laughter Inktead of tears, and you have to laugh until you cry again. Mr. Parlette holds you up for ex- amination, all your faults, fads and follies are mercilessly exposed and laughed at, but somehow you don't mind for he seems to think there is still hope for the race—a man who can see the pessimist's side of things, and still be an optimist. And such a new brand of optimist! He is thank- ful that other men are rich, because they and not he anust go to the trou- ble of algging oil wells, running rail- roads, building libraries, etc., while the few dollars he possesses make all these millionaries his servants when- ever he chooses. Parlette is original. He is a humor - fat, but not one who has to mix up half a dozen old brands and stamp the resulting compound with his own name. He has an entirely new brand, the foundation of which perhallit Is lilts Bill Nye's, but whose essence and flav- oring are entirely different and his own secret. Real Estate Transefers. The real estate market has been fair - 13' active during the past week, and several deals of the first magnitude are now well under way. One of these, Should it go through, will be the most important transaction in city property ever consummated, but it is not In shape yet to make public. Attorney William M. Blackford has made a nice investment by buying from J. L. Nielsen for $4,500 the lot at the corner of Main street and Sixth avenue. The lot has a frontage of 60 feet on Main street and 90 on the avenue. The Improvements consist of a stone building and a cottage. Andrew Fergus has sold to the Fer- gus Live Stock & Land company, for a stated consideration of $1, a 440 acre tract in sections 26, 27 and 34, township 19 north of range 20 east and sections 32 and 33, township 18 north of range 20 east.

CAMPAIGN TO BE ON PARTY LINES (Continued from page 1) — -- ocratIc leaders over Pinkley, Lane and Littlejohn. With his usual BS- gacity, the colonel is keeping well In the background but is ready to re- spond to a summons. Unfortunately for the colonel, there isn't going to be any such call, and his ambitions will have to remain unsatisfied for another two years—at least. There is a strong movement on foot among \the interests\ to get the colonel to accept a nomination for alderman from his ward, but it is understood that its the mayor's chair or nothing with him. Read the Argus for the news. ADDMIONAL LOCAL. ReMentber that I am selling sults to measure at from $20 up. Walter Knight, opposite Pcstorrice• ft.

Everybody Is invited to come to the big dance at Grass Range March lath. Good music and a good supper. W. 0. Hinkley, formerly of the Iowa Telephone company, and lately mana- ger of the Deer Lodge exchange of the Hell company, has arrived in this city to take the management of the Lewistown Telephone company, suc- ceeding Fred H.

Odes, division chief clerk of the Bell company, who will spend a few days in the city. Slater has them; juicy steaks, ten- der roasts, home cured hams anti ba- con and pure lard to cook them in. tf The Argus had arranged to print in this issue what purported to be a full and correct copy of the Griffin anti -gambling bill which recently pas- sed both houses of the legislature and was signed this week by the gov- ernor. It appears, however, that the amendments made in the senate are of considerable importance, and there is a dfference of opiniod BB to the exact nature of these changes. Some assert that th,e bill does not prohib- it playing cards for the cigars, for in- stance, while others insist that it does make this an offense, as well` as play- ing for prizes at social gatherings, while church fairs are also placed un- der the ban. A certified copy of the measure wIl be given in this paper in a short time. The Lecture Club has presented a musical number, a statesman, a dra- matic orator and a preacher. The eext one is a humorist and one of the best on the platform today. If you want to enjoy an evening's fun be at Culver's opera house next Monday nignt.

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP -- RELEASED BY PE -RU -NA. La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh. orHE disease now known as 'grip' used to be called 'influenza.' It very closely resembles • oold, boils more tenacious in its hold upon the system and produces more profound dis- turbances. Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh. When it once begins it spreads over the country very rapidly. People do not catch the grip from each other, but each one catches it from the atmosphere. \Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried for La Grippe.\ Robt. L. Madison, A. M., Principal of Cullowhee High School, Painter, N. C., is chairman of the Jackson County Board of Education. He id • writer of occasional verse and has °attributed to a number of leading paper* and magazines,—religious, edu- cational and secular. In speaking of Peruna, Mr. Madison says: \I am hardly ever without Pertms in my home. It is the most effective medi- cine that I have ever tried for la grippe. \It also cured my wife of nasal ca- tarrh. Her condition at one time was such that she could not at night breathe through her nostrils. \In consequence, an inflamed condi- tion of the throat was brought about, getting worse and worse and yielding to no remedy until Peruna was tried.\ Healthy Mucous Membranes. Those who are fortunate enough to have perfectly healthy mucous mem- branes ordinarily do not catch the grip. The mucous membranes lining the nose, throat and lungs, when in a normal state, are an effectual barrier against the invasion of grip. But, if there happens to be the slight- est catarrhal derangement of the mucous membranes, then the victim be- comes an easier prey to the grip. This in part explains why some peo- ple get the grip, while others do not. The rational thing to do is to keep the system free from catarrh. In attempt- ing to do this most people have found Peruna to be invaluable. Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit for Present Good Health. Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore, Box 44, White Oak, Ind. Ter., formerly House- keeper for Indiana Reform School for Boys, writes: \Six years ago I had la grippe, which was followed by systemic catarrh. \The only thing I used was Peruna and Manalin, and I have been in better health the last three years than for years before. \I give Peruna all the credit for my good health.\ The Medic -al Profession Recogni2es The Grip as Epidemic Catarrh. During an epidemic of grip Peruna should be used. The doses recom- mended on the bottle are sufficient. After the grip has once been acquired, Dr. Hartman recommends the use of Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour during the acute stage, after which the directions on the bottle should be fol- lowed. Experience has shown that the people who use Peruna as • remedy for grip generally recover sooner and are less liable to the distressing and long -con- tinued after-effects of the grip. When Parana has not been used dur- ing the course of the grip and the patient finds himself suffering from the after- effects of this disease, a course of Peruna should be resorted to. Suffered Twelve Years From After - Effects of La Grippe. Mr. Victor Patneande, le.28 Madison St., Topeka, Kan., member of Knights and Ladies of Security, writes: \Twelve years ago I had a severe at- tack of is grippe and I never really re- covered my health and strength—but grew weaker every year, until I was unable to work. \Two years ago I began using Peruna and it built up my strength so that ins couple of months I was able to go to work again. \This winter I had another attack of la grippe, but Peruna soon drove it out of my system. My wife and I consider Peruna a household remedy.\ Pneumonia Followed La Grippe. Mr. T Barnecott, West Aylmer, On- tario, Can., writes: \Last winter I way ill with pneu- monia after having la grippe. I took Peruna for two months, when I became quite well, and I can say that any one can be cured by it in • reasonable time • at little expense.\ Pe-ru-na—A Tonic After La Grippe. Mrs. Chas. E. Wells, Sr., Delaware, Ohio, writes: \After a severe attack of la grippe, I took Peruna and found it a very good tonic.\ Mrs Jane Gift, Athens, Ohio, writes: \Six years ago I had la grippe very bad. I read a testimonial of s woman who had been cured of grip by Peruns. My hueband bought me a bottle of Peruna. I was soon able to do my work. I con- tinued using it until I was cured.\ • REMEMBER MONDAY ---REMEMBER MONDAY MARCH 11 --- MARCH 11 .11111e.
