What Your Great Grandmother Did.

She hetcheled the fax and carded the
WOOL and wove the linen, and spun the tow,
and made the clothes for her husband and
ten children. She made butter and cheese,
she dipped tallow candles, to light the house
at night, and she cooked ell the food for her
household by an open fire place and a brick
oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of
age, she was already an old lady whose best
days were over. Her shoulders were bent and
her joints enlarged by hard work, and she
wore spectacles and a cap.
Her great granddaughter, with all the
modern conveniences for comfort, refinement
and luxury, may be as charming and attract
i've at forty-five as at twenty. Especially is
this true if she preserves her health by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
which wards off all female ailments and II
Irregularities, cures them if they already exist,
keeps the life current healthful and vigorous,
and enables the woman of middle age to re-
tain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and
cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and
its elasticity in her step.
Go to your drug store, pay dollar, get a
bottle and try it-try a second, O third if nee
essary. Before the third ones been taken
you'll know that there's remedy to help you.
Then you'll keep on and a cureIl come.
But if you shouldn't feel the help, should
be disappointed in the results - you'll find
a guarantee printed on the bottle-wrapper
that'u get your money back for you.

HE WAXEN BUST.
BY CLARENCE HARVEY.

Mr. Lensly de Jones was timid man,
Who stammered whenever he talked,
1t affected his gait, for he hippity- hoped
Where other people walked.
Now Lensly de Jones was wonderful man,
In the Photographic art
He wasn't the chief in the Grand Salon,
But he played q prominent part
And the day that the Grand Mogul was i'll
With a touch of the govt they say,
Victoria Regina was out for drive
And happened TO pass that way
"What ho,' ouoth the queen, pm in face to-
I faith am looking WELL
Many years l shall reign and q photograph,
To my subjects, this fact shall tell"
So into the hall of the Grand Salon,
swept the queen with her retinue,
And Lensly de Jones was SO terrlhed
That he didn't know what to do.
He stammered, "G-G- Good day. and suffered,
"P-Pray s-sit,"
And stumbled all over the room,
And he Jumped when her majesty spoke to him
AS though twas the crack-o doom.
There wasn't q man in the British Isles
AS skiIlful as he, Ween,
In preparing q frst-class photograph
For any one but his queen.
But he couldn't say lift up your chin" to
He couldn't command her smiles,
He couldn't put prongs in the back of the head
OF the queen Of the British Isles.
She was out of focus the light was bad,
And her head was moving too;
And Lensly de Jones felt positive dread
Lest the Negative might not do
But he trund1ed the camera to and fro,
And then he exposed the plate,
And promised the proofs as the queen rode OIL,
Leaving Lensly Stammer1ng ''W-Wa1t.
Instead of the sensitive plates they used,
What think you the man had done!
Put in tin sign which the legend bore:
AT dinner. Be back at one"
All day and all night, with a pan of wax,
Poor Lensly might have been seen,
With deep solicitude. modelling
A bust of the gracious queen.
And when il was done it was photographed,
And the proofs much pleased the queen,
For Lensly had fiattered her dreadfully,
With face Sedate, serene.
The House of Lords with q single voice
Made Lensly belted knight;
They sent him the news one afternoon,
And the poor man died of fright.
Thus endeth the tale of the photograph
OF England's gracious queen,
And the waNen bust of the belted knight,
With the face sedate, serene.

The OffiCious Car Conductor HAS Eyes
Only for Beauty.
ANY woman who is at all presentable
and not past her first youth knows the
officious conductor. She has met him
on shopping expeditions in the morn
ING and theater-going in the evening,
vet, according to the Philadelphia In
ouirer, his demeanor does not change,
either with the time of cay or condition
of the weather. He is always SO atfable.
He really must hold on to you lest you
fail when getting off, and give your arm
q protecting little squeeze when you are
getting on. He orders place made for
YOU with an air OF proprietorshlp that
is simply CALLING, and though you may
be unfeignedly thankful for the seat
thus obtained, you are IN mortal fear
lest verybody in the car takes you for
his iancee, his attentions are so
marked.
He watches for your slightest nod to
indicate your destination, and with a
most embarrassing show of homage will
order his passengers in loud tone to
make room for the lady TO pass and
when YOU are once off of that car you
give a sigh of relief, yet cannot help
telling even yet his Extensively familiar
looks, for his attentions areinot genuine.
This salaried Don Juan has no use tor
elderly danes or feeble old men. They
can get on and off as best they can. He
makes no effort to secure seat for any
one over 80 unless they show evidences
of wealth in their attire. His eye is
attracted by pretty faces and pretty
gowns, aud, taken all in all, he is about
as Objectionable character as you are
apt to meet in days ride, for his SER
vices are rendered in such way you
cannot openly resent them, yet in your
soul YOU feel Inundated by his often
sivelv obllging offices.

Senatorial Contest Ended.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 5.A-The greatest
senatorial contest the republicans of this
state have ever known is practically at
an end. Every political Indication
points to the nomination of John Sher-
man tomorrow by majority of ten or
twelve votes over Foraker, although
this of course is not conceded by the
friends of the latter The press of Ohio
this morning generally con slider the con-
test at an end. The bitterness of Foraker
people toward the natioral administra-
ton is intense and w. S. Appellar, of
Mansfield, one OF Ex-Governor Foraker's
leading managers, today says:
Whether Sherman be nominated or
not he will beyond this time be politi-
cal blank in Ohio politics, either state
or national. The senatorial contest will
leave sore places IN every county, town
ship and school district and if Mckinley,
the incoming governor, can comprehend
and realize the situation and be able to
heal up these wounds he will have per-
formed very credible feat. There are
those who believe if Sherman is nomi-
mated for the senate it will necessitate
the nomination of Blaine as president,
to swing Ohio into the republican col
umn.

PORTLAND. Jan. 5.-The steamer Tel
phone OF the Columbia transportation
line while on her way to this city from
Astoria early this morning ran on break
water at the mouth of the Willamette
river and is now lying at the bottom of
the river with only the forward part of
the vessel above water. All passengers
and crew were safely landed There
were 80 passengers aboard. They were
which passed the scene soon after the
accident and they were brought to this
city. From the pilot who just reached
this city it ls learned that a heavy fog
was hanging over the river at the time
Just before the steamer struck, he re-
allied his dangerous position and stopped
the vessel, but owing to the strong cur
rent, she was carried down stream.
Seeing this he started her UP stream
again and had proceeded some distance
when the steamer ran aground on the
breakwater which, owing to the high state
of the river, was completely submerged.
The vessel soon began to fill and her

pletely submerged, with the exception
OF the bow which is supported and held
fast by the b.eakwater. Had it not
been for the latter fact, the vessel would
have sunk in seventy feet of water and
the fate of the passengers would have
been extremely doubtful. The amount
of freight aboard was small and did not
exceed in value $500. It is impossible
now to estimate the amount. of damage.
The steamer wac valued at about $780,
coo. Itis thought shecan be got off and
raised without much difficulty and ex-
pense.
The steamer now rests on the break
water at an angle of twenty degrees and
leans toward the starboard. The water
covers the stern up to the top of the up
per deck and extends to within thirty
feet of the bow. 1t is stated that the
officials of the transportation company
will blame the captain for trying to pro-
ceed when the fog was so heavy that a
pilot could not see the light at the month
of the river. He should have tied the
steamer up until the fog cleared The
vessel is not insured.
