SMALL FEET.
They Are an Illustration of the Ten.
dency of the Times Toward Little
Waists and Weak Bodies.

Anyone who visits the art museums may be
struck with the fact that the feet of all the an
Gent statues seem very large They do seem so,
but it will be found that for symmetrical perfec-
ton these feet could not be better, and yet the
feet of the average man or woman to-day are
much smaller than in ancient times.
answer is not difficult. Modern custom and
small proportions; shoes have taken the place
of sandals. Indeed, it is only illustration of
many of what advanced civilization and fashion
do The waists of women in ancient days were
not so small as in the present age of corsets. The
health of women in ancient times was better than
IN our present day Of social demands, household
cares and hurried living. Women are weaker
than they once were. They feel depressed, blue,
weak and languid where they were once bright,
strong and active. Such modern troubles require
the most advanced treatment and the best physi-
Clans and most scientific authorities of the pres

sity in most lives. It is significant fact, how
ever in connection with this statement, that only
pure stimulants are ever Of value, while impure
are an actual harm
The best and purest of all stimulants now
known to the public is Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key. It Is indeed the only medicinal whiskey
known to the professions or the public. 1t has
been tested by years of use, and is far more pop
ular to-day than ever before in its history. It
has many imitators and the usual jealousies
which merit always brings, and hence when un-
scrupulous dealers offer any other article they

trotted out yesterday and in as glowing
colors as possible, and, as usual, the chief
officers of the Consolidated road were be-
sieged for the facts of the case. The chief
officers of the road promptly denied the
story, saying that it was without any
foundation and laughingly proceeded with
the business which was before them.

were used here In early days for pack ami

He says they were imported from Asia by
the government for carrying supplies to
troops over the plains of Texas, but were
sold to an enterprising otizen after the
government had done with them, and this
man brought them to Helena loaded with
provisions, and the grand old ships eff the
desert sailed over many mountain trail
carrying goods where wagons could not go.
They were taken out to greze 10 the hills
adjoining Helena, and one day Jim Mcneil,

sight OF one of the oamsls ss he YVES coming
10 from prospecting tour, mlstook 1. for q

and made Jim put up all the collateral he
had with him as security for the animal.
: Each camel was worth about $40, and In
