Good looks are more than skin deep,

you have a bilious look, if your stomach
be disordered you have a dyspeptic look

The smallest is the best
in pills, other things being equal.
But, with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets, nothing else as equal. They're
the best, not only because they're
the smallest, and the easiest to take
but because they do more good.
They cleanse and regulate the liver,
stomach and bowels in a way the
huge, old fashioned pill doesn't
dream of. Think of trying to regu-
late the system with the ordinary pill.
It's only good for upsetting it.
These are mild and gentle-but
thorough and effective, no pain-no
gripping. One little pellet for a laxa-
tive-three for a cathartic. The
best Liver Pill known. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks
and all arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels are prevented,
relieved and cured.
Put up in sealed vials-a perfect
vest-pocket remedy, always conven-
lent, fresh and reliable.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. It's a plan peculiar to DR..

They neither went into Mysteries nor fed.
Instead they grabbed a big stick and COM

But take 1t all in all, the physical Of
age displayed by Miss Irving in carrying a
revolver and defying u distasteful husband,
and by the Misses Swan in corralling and
turning over to justice an unwelcome ma
rauder Is as nothing compared with the
moral heroism exhibited by Miss Marin
Moran, a pretty and well educated resident
Of Newark, n. j. Although but eighteen
years of age and with every good thing Of
life before her to be anticipated and en-
joyed, she las voluntarily and with cheer
fulness said goodby to her relatives and
friends and taken a position as nurse In
the local smallpox hospital. She first went
there as a patient last December, while
suffering from the varioloid. During her
convalescence she cared for several chill
dren similarly or more seriously affected
than herself, and her devotion and intelli-
gence have been SO great that the doctor in
charge enthusiastically declares that she
is as great n heroine as Florence Night
ingale.
One Newark business man, who owes the
life of his daughter TO Miss Moran's ten
der nursing, has displayed a gratitude that
is almost pathetic. He first offered the
young lady a home in his family for life,
and on this being declined, wished her to
accept a large sun of money. This also

does, in which regard they would differ
much from Minna Irving, the fair and
nervy poetess Of Tarrytown; N. Y. Minna
has gained considerable repute as a writer
of tuneful verse. She has also unfortu-

Domestic Science In women's Colleges.
The two most significant departures of
college life made during the past year
were the establishment of a course Of
domestic science at Wellesley and the
investigations of and lectures on the
same subject by Lucy Salmon, of Vas
sar. Miss Salmon, basing her theory on
the facts gathered during the past three
or four years, is convinced that domestic
labor, while having features peculiar to
itself, is amenable to the laws which
control other forms of industry, and
that when citizens are willing to COM
bine and insist upon these laws being
applied to their households as well as to
departments of labor outside the home,
there will be some hope of remedying
the existing evils.-New York Sun.

Saturday morning near Indian Creek -Four
men were seriously injured and fifth,
II. elites, OF Glencoe, this county, was killed
The wreck was caused by a collision be-
tween two freight trains running in oppo-
site directions, and resulted from a misunder-
standing Of orders. When the two
engines came in sight of each other they
were not more than 200 feet apart. Both
were completely demolished. The trains
were running az the rate Of 80 miles an hour
and each contained fS loaded cars. The
trainmen ali jumped for their lives. One Of
the fireman was pini0ned under his engine
for several hours before be vas released. It
is believed that he IS fatally injured. Sew
sral other members Of the freight crews sus-
tained serious injuries. About ~ cars load
ed with merchandise were demolished and
eircontents streWn along the sides Of the
tra~k. The cars actually teiescoped each
other.
