The Vast Responsibility "a Woman Incarred
for "a Friend.
IL gives some women Il deep and al
most oppressive sense of responsibility
to be intrustcd with the selection of IA
pair of gloves or a yard of ribbon for
another oma 1T isn't for myself"
said an notwithstanding customer at the
ribbon counter of Il large dry goods
| store one afternoon when the clerks
were busiest. If it was for myself |
should know exactly what | wanted
and wouldn't waste any time over it.
But"
Did YOU say dark or light green rib
bon" asked the clerk.
'She said dark, and yet not too dark.
SO | don't know exactly what to get. If
| We're going to use it myself"
GLOW would this do?"
'Well. | hardly know. 1t seems a
trife light to me-, and yet maybe it
wouldn't be. ! don't know Just what
it's to be used for, which makes the
matter all the more perplcxing."
''IIow wide do you want it,
''She said from two and a half to
three inches. which is of course rather
indefinite. It's for a friend of mine liv-
ing in NJ. and she simply wrote fora
yard of dark green ribbon from two
and Il half to three inches wide, at from
thirty To forty cents a yard. and am
puzzled to know just what to get. If
it were for myself"
You didn't want satin ribbon?'
"She didn't say. and | don't know
whether to get satin. or grosgrain, or
watercd ribbon, or ribbon with a plain,
corded or picot edge, or what. Every
thing is so indefinite about it. IL |
knew what she wanted it for or had
some little hint to go by, or if it were
for myself-but as it is I'm entirely in
the dark.
Il think. on the whole, I'd better
write and get more definite informa-
ton before selecting anything. Yes.
that's what I'll do, and then I'll not

A large window admits more heat
and light during the day, but it radiates
the heat rapidly at night. One of the
most essential requirements in a poul-
try-house is Eight, as the hens will
abandon n darkened house during the
daytime, no matter how warm it is
Instead of using large windows, there
should be small windows, on at least
two sides Tor in front and at the endsl,
so as to render the house light and
cheerful in every part. Another ad-
vantage of using a number of small
windows is that they are cheaper than
large ones. and the cost is increased
but little. They also admit the sun
light from all quarters duringthe whole
of the day, and aid in more rapidly dry

The beM thin1 to do

The best thing to do
is this when you're suffering from
Sick or Bilious Headaches, Consti.
patton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
or any arrangement of the Liver,
Stomach, or Bowels, get something
that relieves promptly and cures
permanently Don't shock the sys-
TEN with the ordinary pills-get
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They're the smallest, for one thing
but that's a great thing(, and the
easiest to take.
They're the best, for they work
in Natures own way-mildly and
gently, but thoroughly and effec-
lively.
They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay
only for the good you get.
What more can you ask?
But don't get something that the
dealer says is "just as good" 1t
may be better for him, but it's
pretty certain to be worse for you.

THERE is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to,
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it q local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be u constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment Halls CatarrlI Cure, manu-
featured by F.. j.. Cheney & Co, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from

day night, the flames breaking out in
the old annex, block separated from
the main building bya narrow space.
Before the discovery of the fire the
whole interior was ablaze, and the
usual scenes that made the on-looker
grow sick and wonder why people are
born, followed. The work of rescue
was at once begun and progressed with
great rapidity. Nearly the whole OF
the fire department turned out and by
the chiefs orders, made no attempt to
save the building but devoted their
energy to saving lives. The efforts on
the part of the department were al
most superhunan, but notwithstand-
ing, over twenty lives were lost from
burning and leaping. Others will die
from injuries.
