The cause is some arrangement of the
uterus or womb. Backache is the sure
symptom.
For years Sarah Holstein, who lives at
Perry Street, in Lowell, Mass, suffered
with falling of the womb. The best doc
tors failed to relieve her, and as last
resort she purchased six bottles of Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Now she is a well woman.
The dreadful pain in her back stopped
after taking the second bottle. She
wishes she had taken it sooner, and
saved both money and years of suffering.
This Vegetable Compound is the one
unfailing remedy for such troubles. A
woman discovered it and gave it to woman.

Indanmab1e Iron.

The fact that iron in very finely
divided state, when exposed to the at
mosphere, may oxidize so rapidly as to
practically take fire is pretty generally
known.
The circumstance is brought to mind
by q newspaper waif reporting an Incl
dent of the Alexandria bombardment in
Egypt a dozen years ago. A shell be-
longing to one of the English ships had
passed into house without exploding,
and the residents subsequently request
ed the removal of the unwelcome guest.
A number of men were accordingly
sent ashore, and after some cons1dera-
ton as to the best plan to be pursued in
removing the dangerous missile feath-
er bed was procured and the shell firm
ly enveloped in it. 1t was then careful
ly rolled down stairs and was probably
thrown into the sea. To show, how
ever, that this was by no means con-
vincing evidence that its dangerous
properties We're destroyed the case was
cited of an iron shell which had laid
under water for about 200 years, and
which, when brought to the surface,
was so completely honeycombed by the
sea water and presented metal in so fine
a state of division that, to the horror of
the surprised finder, it gradually steamed
fiercely and became redhot
From this it was argued as not at all
improbable that a similar occurrence
might take place with the shell of the
later period, and that if, in after years,
it should be found and brought to the
surface its finder might be surprised i'll
much the same way.-Cassier's Maya

A Regular Sell.

An 1rtshman In hardest luck
Had tramped through many stateA
And everywhere was badly stuck
Against him were the Fates.
His tattered clothes were quite sight.
His thin, starved body too.
For nowhere could he get bite
Or any work to do.
He reached a city though one day
And tried to beg meal,
But every person turned away
Their anger to conceal.
he asked for work, he was refused,
For bread, refused again.
Until he felt himself abused
BY all the city men.
While passing by junk shop which
A sheeny pedlar owns,
He saw the fellow had got rich
On buying rags and bones
Pat thought awhile, and then went In
To interview the Jew,
And try an honest meal to win
As beggers oft will do.
Good morning sir" said Pat inside
do you buy rags and bones?'
Wy yes, of course" the Jew replied
Dots w dis store OwnS!"

With friendship still expanding

Like an angel from above,
Beautiful in every feature
With her we both fell in love.

Though l strove to gain her hand
With such loving words as rarely

Jimmy married her, and placed her
In mansion neat and trim,
When her bridal costume graced her
Heavens how envied Jim!
Years have passed, and I'm still single.

Quite saddened man to see
Married life to him is dreary-

Some Notes on Etiquette.

Don't walk in STOPPING posture in
public places. 1t shows bad form.
Never pass bad money in a street
car. 1t is not fare to the conductor.
Don't pick your teeth before COM
pany. Go pick them by yourself and
pick the best you can get for the
money.
1t is bad taste to eat peas with a
knife, but the peas will taste just as
good.
Do not try to kiss strange ladies on
the street or you might get return
smack.
Don't write letters to any girl but
your own. Counting is all right, but
not breach-Of-promise counting.
Do not speak insolently to bigger
man than yourself or the result may
be striking.
Never eat or drink more than you
can carry. You are liable to give
yourself a-weigh.
Do not sit opposite a lady in pub
lie conveyance. She is likely to look
cross at you.
1t is not correct to swear before la
dies. If they want to swear first, let
them do it.
Don't try to have the last word, es-
pecially with your wife. That is her
prerogative.
Never strike a man when he is down.
When he gets up again he might
knock the stuffing out of you.
Don't say NO, thank you," when a
fellow offers you 25-cent cigar. 1t is
rude, besides being untruthful. C. S.

AS to Our Ecing n man killer, We have

we nave rc:d ell the funera expenses and
given them u resting place far beyond
what could be expected. 1t is the duty of
an editor out in this country to take care
of himself. If he ant shoot, then he has,
no business here. No matter how hard he
be men who will thirst for his gore. The
idea, as we understand it, is to get the
other critters gore first.
AS to our bulldozing tactics, this is the
first complaint we ever heard. Every edi-
tor has his own peculiar way in certain
matters. Some editors in case a Subscrib-
er drops off heave a sigh and run a pen
across his name. Our way is to make a
personal call and ask for an explanation.
True we have had several buttons shot off
our coat and bullets sent through our hat,
but we have never yet failed to secure a
renewal. 1t is the same with advertising.
Advertising pays. We know it and are
anxious for all others to know it. 1--WE
can get the drop on a nOnbeliever, we can
always convince him of the value Of adver-
Using. The charge that we are a boaster
has no foundation. Every editor ought to
have a good opinion of himself and his pa
per. Everything stated OF the bills, SO far
as we are concerned, has always been car
ried out and always will be. We are sorry
for the lopsided failure who runs the starve-
ling over at Lone Tree, but shall hereafter
ignore his existence. To answer his
charges we had to crowd out a murder
item worth SIS to our general circulation,
and we warn him that we shall mako no
further sacrifice on his account.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
a Modern Innovation That Was Not Re-
ceived In the Proper Spirit.

SOME NEW YORK ADvICE.-As the read
ers of THE KICKER nave been informed
from time to time, it has been our desire
to conduct the paper on metropolitan lines.
In some instances we have had to give way
to local opinions and western customs,
while in Others we have carried our point
and come out on top. Last week a New
York editor stopped off here to look over
our private graveyard and give US a few
pointers. When he found that our edito-
rial rooms Were wide open to the public,
and that Tom, Dick and Harry were free
to kick open the door and walk in at any
time, his amaZement was UnbOunded. He
gave us some brotherly advice on the sub
ject, and though We felt q little shaky as
to results we determined to follow it.
THE KICKER office is not a 81 story affair,
with a private elevator for editorial use,
but we got a carpenter to build US an edi-
torial pen on the roof of our second story
edifice and put in some winding stairs.
Everything was all ready last Saturday
morning. We had an information bureau
on the first floor, with orders to make ev-
cry caller send up his name and state his
business

ing bareheadcd across the sand lots. with
bullets kicking up the dust around him as
he flew. A minute later, while our metro
politan editorial heart was standing still
with suspense, the boys appeared on the
street and caught sight of our pen on The
roof. No one asked for explanations. They
seemed to divine the true situation of af-
fairs at once. There were II Of them. Each
man had two guns. The time occupied in
shooting us out of our metropolitan quar-
tiers and down those winding stairs was
exactly 2S seconds. The time occupied i'll
shooting the glass out of the windows and
the shingles off the roof of our pen was
less than two minutes. We don't re1nem-
Der that anything was said. We got down,
threw open the doors of the old editorial
c ons, and the boys filed in and too their
Usual places without asking any questions.
We have come back to the ground floor to
stay. No cards arc necessary. If the front
door isn't open, give it kick and walk in.
The first door to the right leads to the edi-
torial rooms, and il the editor happens to
be out when you call you'll find a jug in
the corner and pipes and tobacco on the
shelf beside the clock. We think the New
York editor meant we'll. but he didn't
know human nature in the great and Glo-
rious west.
SOME PLAIN TALK.-Thc Lone Tree
Tribune, which is a poor little weekly
sheet of $50 circulation and published by
q man who made a sad failure of the oop
crs' trade, came out with a bitter attack
on US last week. The burden of the cO!n-
plant was that we were an office seeker, a
man killer, a bulldozer and boaster. Our
policy personally and editorially is pretty
we'll known, but it may be well to go over
the ground again. 1t is trUc that VIZ are an
office seeker. We want to be mayor of this
town, state senator, postmaster, deputy
United States marshal and two or three
other things at once. We hold that moth
ing is too good for an editor. He can't
make too much money. He can't have too
much public respect. We didn't go into
the newspaper business to live on one meal
a day and go to bed while our only shirt
could be put through the mill Neither
was it our intention~to pull wires for every
galoot in the party and walk around with
our toes pecping out to the weather. We
have sought Office because it didn't seek
