Books That Have Helped Me.” 
Thk star of empire is ever tending West¬ 
ward. The marvelous growth of Kansas, Ne¬ 
braska and Dakota, the development of Col¬ 
orado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the 
great mineral region between the “ Rock¬ 
ies ” and the Pacific Coast with its varied 
climate and productions, afford ample room 
for millions of industrious people. Circu¬ 
lars and pamphlets gotten up by land spec¬ 
ulators, town lot syndicates and railroads 
are often misleading. If you want reliable 
information about the great West, you must 
get it through reputable and responsible • 
papers. Such you will find the Omaha Bee, 
now in its nineteenth year. Sample copies 
mailed free. Direct letter or postal card:

A POULTRY authority says that “chickens 
should have an ample range.” It depends 
upon the number of chickens. A little 
chicken will broil pretty well over a very 
small stove.— New York Herald. 
“I WOULD like to ask you a question,” 
said a gentleman to a fellow who was 
spreading himself over four seats in a 
crowded railway car. “What is it?” 
“What brand of nerve food do you use?”— 
Epoch. 
Jack: “ Charley, why don’t you propose 
to the Widow Green’s daughter? She’s 
rich and is regarded as the pearl of her 
sex.” Charley: “I know it, my boy, but 
I dislike the mother of Pearl.”— Jeweler's 
Weekly. 
Miss Plantaganet De Verb: “That 
man’s attentions to me are most offensive, 
and he has the reputation of being a for¬ 
tune hunter. Do you suppose it is papa’s 
wealth that allures him?” Miss Dolly 
Flicker (thoughtfully): “Why what else 
can it be? ”— Life.

QUEEN BEAVER 
WITH PATENT HEATING ATTACHMENT. 
Wonderful things can be said of man’s handiwork within the last half century. The Locomotive has taken 
the place of the Horse, the Reaper succeeds the Sickle, and the Flail makes way for the Threshing Mathtne. 
The oeean •• Grey Hounds ’’-giants in strength and pnlaces of luxury and comfort— cross from the New to the 
O'd World within the secular days Thoughts are flashed from Continent to Continent, distancing the Sun In 
his flight, and Edison now says the time Is not far distant when a whisper may be heard around the world. 
But it Is not our purpose to write a dissertation upon this subje ct. Instead, we wish to call the attention 
oi al good people to an attachment used upon our ramies. While tilts device cannot take rank among the marvel¬ 
ous, yet it is or wonderful utility and economy. By it we utilize the heat of oven, when not wanted for cook 
Ing. to heat upper or adjoining rooms. The arrangement suggests economy. 
The cut shows heat pipe leading from the heating attachment, affixed to back of oven of one of our ranges 
the “Queen Beaver.” In the bottom of oven door there is placed a draft slide through which air is admitted 
into the oven. Becoming heated, it Is passed through an opening in the upper part of back of oven, through 
an elbow, in which there is an ingeniously devise j check damper, iuto pipe, and then conveyed into upper 
rooms. 
This range has large oven, pedal oven door, opener. Duplex grate, and, In fact, every modern appllauce and 
Is made In such a variety of styles and sizes, as to meet the wants of all. 
Our line of stoves embraces everything that may he desired la Wood and Coal Cooks, Ranges and Heaters. 
Cur Parlor Heaters are beautiful conceptions.
