Like another scomdn
the one who's used DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. She's
stronger and a happier woman
and a healthy one. The aches,
pains, and weaknesses, that made
life miserable are gone-the func.
tional disturbances or irregularities
that caused them have been cured.
Face and figure show the change,
too. Health has restored the
charms that rightfully belong to
her. For all the weaknesses and
ailments peculiar to womanhood,
Favorite Prescription is a posi-.
tive remedy. No other medicine
for women is guaranteed, as this is,
to give satisfaction in every case,
or the money is refunded. It's pro-
prietors are willing to take the risk.
What it has done, warrants them
in guaranteeing what it will do.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get.
Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all Dr..
Rerce's medicines are sold on.

ANIMATED WHIST.
a Game Where Hearts Were Trumps
Played in the odd Town of salem.
From Dee Boston HHGl2

From TEE Boston Head
salem had a game Of living whist last
evening. IL was played in the Cadet
armory, and the entertainment was
under the auspices Of ladies Of the
North Church.
The Salem ladies secured the services
of-Mme. Arcan 10 conduct the rehear-
sails and the drillings. The ouly per-
sons in costume were those represent
ing the court cards, but the evening
dress of the others added TO the variety
Of the scene.
Four young ladies represented the
aces, and four merry young me the
knaves. The cOurtly kings were rObed
in rOval veStsmentS, very closely re-
sembling those on the ordinary cards,
while the stately queens were arrayed
in splendOr beftting their high positions
IN the group.
The players entered the hall and pro-
ceeded through the march OF many
windings and turnings, intended TO
show of the brilliant and varied cOlOrs
Of the costumes OF the court cards, and
contrast them with the bright cOlOrs Of
the ladies dresses and the black Of the
mems clothes. Altogether, under the
strong light shed upon the fifty odd per
sOnages, 10 was q striking scene.
Al the close Of the march came the
"shule," which was another very pref
" scene, the ifty-two players finally
dividing into "hands" Of thirteen. All
these movements were made with the
grace and ease and lightness, TO the low
strains of the soft music.
After this, the real play began, each
person, as his or her card was called in
the play, danced TO the centre Of the
hall, and then, as each trick was taken,
the four players who constituted 1t
danced to their respective posititiOns
outside the circle. The play lasted
about forty minutes, and many pretty
dances were executed during the time.
Hearts were trumpS. Il dealt, b cut,
and A led. There was good atten-
dance, the oratOriO seats being occupied
by spectators. Music was furnished by
the Cadet orchestra.
The game passed OF successfully, and
so fascinated the audience that il was
not satisfied until the play had been re-
peated. There was stately court quad
rifle az the close.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
Great News for the Children.

At last the cure for St. vitus Dance, Epilepsy
and other fits has been discovered. The little
ones need no longer suffer from these terrible
nervous diseases. The remedy is the great
nerve cure. DR.. Greene's Nervura, and the enor-
nous demand for this medicine in all nervous
diseases OF children has firmly established 1t as
the great children's remedy. 1t is purely veg
etable and perfectly harmless. Druggists, sl0O.
SIT affords me the greatest pleasure to state
that my daughter, who. was sufferer from St.
Vitus' Dance, and who was trested for same by
prominent physicians in Brooklyn without re-
suit was completely cured by using two bottles OF
DR.. Greene's Nervura.

CHILDREN'S HOME.

A delightful new years party was given
yesterday afternoon by the Unitarian Sun
day school to their little friends at the
Children's home. The visitors, or rather
hosts, made their appearance about four
o'clock, laden with good tn ings for the
supper and with new years gifts of books
and toys. 1t was pleasure to witness the
open delight of the children, those giving,
no less happy than those receiving. The
afternoon slipped quickly by with games,
songs and recitations, dear to the childish
hearts. What shouts of glee went up
Merriment. unclouded by the thought
that their fathers and mothers'-many of
them-were not on earth to care for them.
When the supper bell rang it was an
eager line of little ones that awaited the
signal for the march down stairs. At last
they were gathered around the table
while with bowed heads they repeated the
Lords prayer.
1t was a touching scene-these innocent
children-yoicing in prayer their gratitude
and trust. The supper, prepared by some
of the ladies of the Unitarian society,
seemed to be appreciated, judging from
the way the good things disappeared from
view.
As the sun went down good hye's were
said and kind wishes exchanged. The
occasion will not be forgotten by those
who took part.

FOR Bt SINEsS MEN.

Two years ago, at the beginning OF the
first new year after accepting the pastoral
charge of the First Presbyterian church,
Rev. Mr.. Winters adopted as feature in
his ministerial labors here the preparation
and delivery of sermon, the first Sunday
in the new year, for the especial benefit Of
the business men Of the community. The
idea was cordially received by the business
men OF the city, and the two such Occa-
sions in the past were specially enjoyable
and beneficial to all who participated IN
the services. In the announcements for
church services for Sunday, II another
column, will be seen Il notice for this
special service at the Central Presbyterian
church tomorrow. Those for whom it is
specially designed will avail themselves Of
the pleasursble privilege afforded them.

NEW YEARS DAY.

Yesterday was the first day of the year,
and it was observed pretty generally as q
holiday throughout the city. Most of the
stores were open till II and then fully two
thirds of them closed and stayed closed
the balance of the day. 1t was really OBJ
served more strictly us a holiday than
Christmas. The day was cold and blustry,
aud the streets were practically deserted, as
mostly everybody stayed at home until
late in the afternoon when old Sol became
better humored and smiled an hour or
two. During this intermission many peo-
pie came out, but darkness which soon set
in drove them home again.
One of the most singular facts connected
with the day is that there was not single
drunk" gathered in during the entire
day by the police, all of which shows that
those who swore of last night actually
kept the pledge for twenty-four hours.

A BOON FOX YOUNG PEOPLE.

All of the parents of the city who have
an ambition to give their children prac-
teal knowledge of the German language
will be delighted to learn the fact that
Mrs. A Dreschaux, who recently returned
from two years tour through Europe,
will again reopen her classes in German
in room 20 in the Fletcher block and will
give instructions every afternoon and
evening. Mrs. DreschauX IS a very ac-
complished instructress of German and
has peculiar knack OF planting the prin
ciples of the language in the minds of her
pupils which enables them TO make pro-
gress from the start and to master the
language in a comparatively short time.
AS matter of fact English
will always remain the language
of America, and while that is
a fact it is also fact that the young man
who wants to start out in the business
world must be eqipped with the German
language also if he wishes TO be sure of
success. There is an increasing demand
every year for the young men who have a
knowledge of the German tongue and in
mostly all the eastern cities the youn g
man who speaks English, exclusively, is
not sin it' with the young man who
speaks both the English and German,
when it comes to success in obtaining
positions The fact then that Mrs. Ores
chaux is opening her German classes is a
boon for the young people of Wichita, for
it will give them an opportunity, if they
will accept it, of acquiring that which is
becoming more and more of an essential
in the business world every day.
