The poets sing OF Il fountain whose waters
bring back lost youth,
But no one has ever found 1t. Still there's
o germ of truth
In the dreamer's fable OF fancy, fol there
exists today.
A draught that bantshes sorrow and drives
despair away.
From women whose lives have be.
come burden, on account of disease
to which women alone are subject. The
well known "Favorite Prescription,
prepared by DR.. Pierce may not be able
to bring back youth when it flown, but
it will restore lost health, and that will
bring happiness, and so the drausht is
as magical in its effect as the fountain
of youth was fabled to.

SENATORIAL COURTESY FORGOT
TEN.

Mr.. IIoar and Mr.. Gray Have n Sharp
Tilt In the Debate.
While Senator Hnar, of Massachu-
setts, was speaking against the Tariff
bill in the Senate Tuesday he expressed
his conviction that the Finance Com
mittee did not approve the bill, and
that most of the men who we're to vote
for it, when they did 50, would violal Z
their oaths to support the constitution,
as they understood it. He was asked
by Senator Gray, Delaware, whether he
meant to say that the persons who
would vote for the bill would vi ,late
their oaths.
81 do," was Mr.. Hoar's blunt an
sWer.
THAT is a very remarkable charge
for the Senator to make of his COL
leagues in the Senate" Mr.. Gray
remarked.
SIT is very remarkable think to
do" Mr.. Hoar said.
II repell the charge as unworthy of
the Senator from Massachusetts, and as
unworthy of Senator in this place, :"
Mr.. Gray exclaimed, with increasing
anger.
1.-THE Democatic party" said Mr..
Hoar, acquired the confidence of the
country in 1892 by platform which
declared that protection was a robbery
and fraud and was violation of the
constitution, and they have got bill
now crowded with protection. They
have put in it new protecting duties.
They have put duty on sugar which
they are going to increase for protec-
tion, and for nothing else.
Now, when that is done, does the
Senator from Delaware think that am
going to be deferred by a little bluster
from him? There is no logical escape
for man who says that duty for pro-
lection is robbery and is violation of
the constitution, and who then comes
in and takes an oath that he will sup
