Mrs. George l.. Brensng, 137 W..
127th ST., New York, whose picture APP
pears above, says:
IL am the mother of twelve children
and all are alive. never had days
sickness in my life until about ten years
ago, when | was seized suddenly with
an attack of Bright's disease of the kid
news. Two doctors called il Brights
disease, and each said ! must die.
Indeed, / was actually in the throes Of
death. AT that time friend, a lady,
came to see me and said l was sure
ly diving. Still she urged me TO take
remedy of which had heard much but
knew little. / followed her Sugges-
tions, and l now solemnly declare and
affirm that although ] was dying when
| took this medicine, il saved my HE,
aud believs that owe my life entirely
to Warmers Safe Cure. also believe
that it will save the life OF any one who
uses it for kidney troubles. / thank
God for Warmers Safe Cure, and have
sounded It's praises far and near. and
shall continue to do so.
Words such as the above, drawn from
human experience and suffering, be-
come messages Of hope to womankind.
Young women, mothers and those in
advanced years are often called upon to
suffer when il is unnecessary that they
should do So That they should employ
every means in their power to avoid
suffering, Is unQuestlonably solemn
duty.

Music Among the Gaye-

Bismarck enters the ranks of the
octogenarians tomorrow ,and a world
will shout it's tributes as he crosses
this rarely reached milestone of
time.
Bismarck will find himself in ex-
cellent and brainy company on the
other side of his eightietb birthday
anniversary. He will find the school
yard full of gray old boys and girls.
He will find Pope Leo at eighty-five,
writing Latin sonnets, just as in the
olden days when as a lad he sur
prised the Pecci family by his pre-
cociousness. He will find the En-
stone, discussing Greek prose and
writing critical essays on religion
and philosophy. He will be. surprised
to find Verdi, at eighty, planning a
new opera for the great singer
Maurel, seeking his inspiration from
no less pleasant theme than
Shakespeare Tempest" Here is
Prof. Dana, at eighty-two, fresh
from Hawaii, giving the world a

Couldock comes gayly into the ranks
of rare old men, still treading the

But the list of famous old men
and women is a long one, and dark
tened only here and there by the
i touch of mental blight or great
physical weakness. AS a rule, these
old men and women are still ex-
tremely active, They. seem to drop

then it takes a long stretch of mem

worst Gale and Snow Storm Ex-
perienced i'm Months

DENVER, Col, March 30.-CoIorado
Is experiencing today the worst snow
storm In many months A tremendous
gaze is blowing from the north. but If
Is not cold, and as the snow melts
rapidly, traffic will not be seriously i'm
pared. The storm continued all dav
with unabated fury. 1t is the worst
storm since the memorable one of
March 1891, which continued for three
days. Heavy thunder and vivid flash
es of lightning accompanied the he
ginning OF the storm, a feature not
unusual at this season. The velocity
OF the wind just before daybreak was
terrific, and but for the heavy, wet
snow, which served to hold things i'm
their places, much damage would no
doubt have been done. At $40 the
wind was blowing at the rate of forty
eight miles an hour, but it slowly de-
creased up to noon, when it registered
thlrty-four miles. A gable of the
Columbian school house was blown
out. Stones weighing thirty-five
pounds were blown over thirty feet
away, while heavy blocks lay piled
up eighty feet from the building The
cars are finding 1T hard work to move.
AT 8 p. M, the snow was about a foot
deep in this city and it is badly drifted.
During the early part of the day trains
on the railroads east and west were
running on time, but the night trains
are considerably delayed and if the
storm continues much longer a gem
eral blockade will occur. The storm
is exceptionally severe in Western
Colorado. Observer Blandenburg
says the storm will abate during the
night and colder weather will follow.
AT Castle Rock, the worst snow and
wind storm of the season has prevailed
since an early hour this morning. The
wind is blowing at a terrific rate and
snow is drifting badly and should the
storm continue as at present it will
stop railway traffic
A special from Glenwood Springs,
says it is a very hard storm and it is
thought many cattle that have strug-
gled through the winter will perish.
At Central City, eighteen inches OF
snow has fallen. Traffic is entirely
suspended and hardly a person ven-
lures on the street
AT Brighton the storm is one of the
worst ever known. In many places
the snow has drifted five feet deep.
Business is entirely suspended as it
is impossible to face the storm. Fears
are that there will be great loss of
stock The snow is very wet and
sticks to everything it touches.

because of the excessive dryness of
