Younr Old Ladies'.

There are few old ladies in the fash
ionable world nowadays, says The
World, and there need not be any.
Women triumphantly pass for 35 who
have recently kept in commemoration
their 50th birthday. True. there are al
ways few friends with inconvenient
memories who could mention the exact
date on which the S5-year old bi-centen-
arian first opened her eyes to the light;
and then there is the record In the old
family bible. But, fortunately, the first
dare not tell, lest a question be raised
as to their own age; and as for the old
fashioned book, like many other old
fashioned things. it is not priced as an
antique and therefore does not adorn the
drawing-room table or betray them.
In a word, women on the down-hill
path of life may and do practice the art
OF rejuvenation without fear or trem-
bling. Art completes with time, and
victory perches on the banner of the
restorative artists. Years in passing are
no longer permitted to mark their pro-
gress on woman's visage with crows
feet, wrinkles, scant locks, faded COM
plexion and toothless gums. Specialists
in the varied departments of reiuvena-
tion are ready with preventives and
restoratives at moments warning. The
instant woman feels she is On the de-
cline, she has but to call in their aid.

1t has generally been supposed that
the United States presented the widest
and most profitable field of operations
for the polished confidence man and the
accomplished blackmailer. Our extent
of territory, the vast facilities for escap-
ing detection, and the trusting inno-
cence of our people were alike supposed
to offer to the graduate in public or pri-
vate rascality splendid opening for
the exercise of his powers. If we did
not produce the greatest variety of suc-
cessful plunderers we certainly tiattered
ourselves that we owned the most in
genious. 1t is somewhat humiliating,
therefore. in certain sense, to be
compelled to acknowledge that in the
matter of scientific blackmailing we are
perfect infants to the highly cultivated
gentlemen who hang on to the ragged
sdge of journalistic fame and popularity
in Berlin. A recent trial in that city
disclosed the fact that a pleasing assort-
ment of s0i-diSaRt journalists, including
a college man, a socialist, a doctor of
laws, an aristocrat and others, had en-
deavored to build up the falling for
tunes of their journal by the most infa-
nous system of blackmailing ever in
vented by human ingenuity or rascality.
Having instituted a regular code of
espionage into private and business
affairs, their modus operondi was to de-
mand money or reputation. Large
sums rewarded this infamous traffic, and
had it not happily been discovered in
time they would undoubtedly have be-
come rich. 1t is somewhat comforting
to think that however common such 3
crime may be in this and other large
cities in the United States the profes
sion of journalism is comparatively if
not wholly free from its degrading and
demoralizing influence.-N Y. Com

The T,ime-Kiln Olub,

Some time since Samuel Shin acci-
IDENTIFY let an old tin-pan full OF ashes
fall upon Whyfcre Davis as the latter
was entering the hall by way of Legisla-
tive Alley. There has been coldness
between them ever since, and Brother
Davis has several times asserted that he
would pulverize Brother Shin to life
less mass in case he could catch him on
a rabbit hunt At the present meeting,
and few moments before the triangle
sounded, Brother Davis received word
that his mother, residing in West Vir-
ginia. was dead. This softened his feel
ings and prepared his heart for recon-
ciliation; and he walked up to Brother
Shin and extended his hand and bridged
the awful chasm He afterwards ascer-
tanned that his mother had been dead
eleven years, but he had made up and
he did not back out, as less honorable
man would have done.

meeting came to order, with 213 men,

Soldier Pioneers of California.

Many prominent army officers spent
the early years of their service on this
coast. Before the war General Grant
was in Oregon. General Sherman was
a partner in the banking house of Lucas
Turner q Co., of this city, in the early
days. General Hooker owned rancho
in Sonora. General Fremont lived for
a long time in Mariposa Generals
Halleck, Baker and Shields practiced
law in this city. Generals Stoneman
and Hooker operated saw-mill at Bo-
dega, so unsuccessfully, however, that
they gave it up in short time. Gen.
eral Mcpherson left Alcatraz and went
directly South, and was killed in front
of Atlanta. The names and faces of

A Real Nice Girl,

saw girl come into the street car
the other day, though. who had. l was
ready to bet, made her own dress, and
how nice she did look. She was one OF
those clean, trim girls you see now and
then. She was about Is years old, and
to begin with, looked well-fed, healthy
and strong. She looked as though she
had good sensible mother at home.
Her face and neck and ears and hair
were clean-absolutely clean. How
seldom you see that. There was nc
powder, no paint on her smooth, round.
ed cheek or firm, dimpled chin; none or
her moist red lips; none on the shell.
tinted. but not too small ears; none on
the handsomely set neck-rather broad
behind. perhaps, but running prettily
up into the tightly corded hair. And
the hair! 1t was of light chestnut
brown and glistened with specks of gold
as the sun shone upon it, and there was
not smear of Oil or pOmatum or COS
metic on it; there was not "A spear astray
about it, and not pin to be seen in it.
AS the girl came in and took her seat,
she cast an easy unembarrassed glance
around the car, from well opened gray
eye, bright with the inimitable light of
''good condition. such as you see in
some handsome young athletes who are
sin training" There were no tags and
ends, fringes, furbelows or fluttering
ribbons about her closely fitting but
easy suit of tweed, and, as she drew of
one glove to look into her purse for a
small coin for fare. l noticed that the
gloves were not new, but neither were
they old; they were simply kept, like
the owner and their owners hand,
Which was solid hand, with plenty of
muscles between the tendons and with
strong but supple fingers. 1t would
have looked equally pretty fashioning a
pie in home kitchen or folding BAN
dage in hospital. 1t was q hand
that suggested at the same time woman
illness and work, and was sorry when
it found five cent piece and had been
regloved. One foot was thrust out o
little upon the Stats of the car foor-a
foot in q good walking boot that might
have FLASHED through rain and storm
without fear OF damp stockings and an
eminently sensible boot on two and
one-half foot in high instep, a small
round heel, and pretty broad tread.
The girl was n picture from head to
foot as she sat erect, disdaining the sup
port of the back of the seat, but devoid
of all appearance of stiffness. Perhaps
the whole outfit to be seen, from hat to
boots, did not cost $40; but l have seen
plenty of outfits costing more than ten
times or even twenty times that amount
which did not look one-tenth or even
one-twentieth as well. If our girls only
knew the beauty of mere simplicity,
cleanliness and health, and their fascin-

been the first in the United States was
killed at Alfred, Maine, in the year 1917,
about one mile west from the village, in
piece of woods near the Round pond,

to Denver, N. H. A man by the name
of Davis had an alteration with the
proprietor of the menagerie, the day
previous, while on exhibition at Alfred,
and sought revenge by shooting the
elephant. The affair caused great sem

Ague Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, ChiIEs
and Fever, intermittent or Chill Fe-
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
maiariai disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
4assitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
d loins, and coldness OF the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ag1le paroXysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
It Is a startling fact, that quinine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
Preparations" Specifics "Syrups," and
"Tonics," in the market. The prepara-
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave tho
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing iii the ears headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradcates
| these noXiOus poisOns from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. 1t
contains no qliinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crOwning excellence, above
Its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on tho liver and
hillary apparatus, drives ont the poisons
which produce these complaints, and stim-
| ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
