Yesterday morning the observer at
the cape reported square-rtgger out.
side, but too far away to make out her
rig. observer Grower questioned the
cape man closely regarding the ves-
sci, as there was a great deal of specu.
lation here as ito whether or not it was
the Cupica- The cape observer wired
back that the captain of the life-saving
crew had examined the vessel through
the glass and was positive that she
was square-rlgger. Later a report
came in that she had been lost sight
of. An afternoon report said that a
schooner was outside. When Capt. Nc
Coy returned with the Relief, he stated
that he had sighted a schooner thought
to be the Beulah, about Is miles off
the cape, a little to the northward
but had seen nothing of the square
rigger reported from the Cape. Judg'
ing from this, Captain Mccoy figures
that the vessel reported must have
been out at least 25 or 30 miles, which
accounts for the Cape observer being
unable to make out her rig. Regarding
the probability of the Cupica putting
in an appearance, Captain Mccoy said
there was really no cause for alarm
until they begin bidding for re-insur-
ance, a fact that would show the own
ers had practically given up hope.

~ AM A WOMAN
AND HENCE
! SUFFER-"

How often this expression is heard
and how much oftener is it felt. Alas!
women do suffer. Why, we often can
not tell, but we know there is one great
cause, and that is weakness. The head
aches, the depressed feelings, the pains,
the encouragement indeed, almost all
the MYSTERY has a common cause-weak
ness. At such times woman always
needs a friend that can be relied upon,
and such a friend for more than twen-
ty years, has been that greatest of all
remedies, Warmers Safe Cure. BY its
purity and its power it furnishes a
prompt relief for women in their hours
of need, and If the grateful expressions
which come up from the homes of the
alnd about what Safe Cure has done
were printed, rhey would fill volumes.
If you, reader, are a sufferer can you
not take hope from this suggestion?
