MR.. REED Is IN THE LEAD.

A Washington Correspondents View of
the Presidential Race.
MINNEAPOLIs, Dec. IA Journal
special from Washington says: Thomas
Bracket Reed is leader in the race for
the Republican presidential nomination
next year, and the man following him
closely for this honor is Senator Allison
of Iowa. The assembling of Republican
politicians in Washington at this time
is more in the interest of endeavoring
to decide what candidates shall be Sc
lected by the Republican convention
next year than in selecting the town
where the national tickets shall be
chosen. While it is true that opponents
of Reed and Allison will make a
courageous fight to check their increas-
ing strength, the prediction is made by
men who are shrewd political manipu-
lators that the honor will go either to
Reed or Allison.
Positions Of Harrison and McKinlsy.
Elk. President Harrison is the next
strongest candidate so far as actual
strength is concerned, although Nc
Kinley follows him as q close second.
The only other men considered avail.
able in any other quarter are Cullom
and Davis. The opinion is expressed
that if either of these gentlemen are
successful it will be because the four
leading men in the contest are unable
to secure q sufficient number of votes to
nominate after the convention has bal.
loted. In such an event Davis might
come to the front. Unless predictions
made by shrewd politicians r mis-.
taken, either Reed, Allison, Harrison
or Mckinley will head the Republican

The American Girls Fault.

The American girl has learned to feel
that in Edward w Box she has Il strong
champion. But Mr.. Box, although he
is ever ready to advocate her cause, is
not blind to her faults. He confesses
that she has one glaring one at least,
and of this he writes as follows in the
Ladies' Home Journal: IF one wishes
to be candid, and really criticise the
American girl, not for Il score of fam
cied faults which are not hers. but for
q fault which is peculiarly hers. 1t is
that she fritters away deal of time on
many things, and does not give enough
time to any one thing. one advantage
which this fault has is that she can
overcome it. And she should. She
should learn the art of application.
Whatever she starts out to do let her
Go it well. If she wants to play let her
learn TO play, not indifferently, but
well. If her taste is for china painting
let her concentrate her mind to that,
and learn TO paint well. If she is fond
of needleworll let her train herself TO
be an expert of the needle If her ten
denotes lead her to languages let her
take up that tongue the study of which
attracts her most. But il she takes
up French let her content herself with
French, and not study French one day
and German the next. Nor should she
forget that to know the English Ian
guage well is her first duty

of the material used is mined by natives

How the Elk Changes His Antlers.
Those who take an interest in the
study of natural history may be pleased
to know that the stag elk in the deer
glen in the park undergOeS n decided
change at about this time of the year.
He is shOrn of the royal antlerS that
make him the pride of the glen.
With the loss of the antlcrS the sta 2
changes his disposition entirely and
becomes as docile and tractable as a
lamb. He will show an inclination to
court public petting rather than avoid
it. He will remain in this condition Of
temper until the beginning of March,
when he will show a disposition TO
Turk in sequestcred spots of the glen
even of his kind.
During this period, on the spot where
the late antlers were, pair of protu-
berances will make their appearance
covered with 4 soft, dark, yelyety skin.
These will attain considerable growth
in a few days. The carotid arteries of
these protuberances will enlarge with
them in order to supply sufficiency
of nourishment. When the new ant
lcrs have attained their full growth,
which will be in ten weeks after the old
ones have been shed, the bony rings
at the base through which the antlers
pass will begin to thicken, and gradu-
ally filling up will compass the blood
vessels and ultimately Obliterate them.
The velvety skin that surrounds the
bone, being thus deprived of nourish-
ment, will lose its vitality and will be
rubbed off in Slreds by the stag on the
edges of rocks OF other hard sub
stances.
AS soon rs the full size of the antler
is attained the docile disposition of the
elk will disappear. and he will become
once mere for the year the fierce king
of the glen.
Tie age of the elk, according to
writer's on natural history, is computed
by the number of points on the antlers.
At the present time he has six. The
next set will bear seven, showing that
seven summers have passed since the
date of his birth.

A PECULIAR CASE.
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE
EXPERIENCE OF MRS. BOWEN.
The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
CONSUMPTION.
From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa

From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa
Last July the Episcopal Hospital ad
mltted woman whose pale and ema-
ciated face and racking cough proclaim
ed her the victim of consumption. She
gave her name as Mrs. Sallie u. Bowen,
wife of VIM. @. Bowen. residence, 1919
MeiShan street, Philadelphia. The case
was diagnosed and she was told plainly
that she was in an advanced stage of
consumption. The examining physician
even showed her the sunkcn place in her
breast where the cavity iii her lung WAS
supposed to exist She went home 10 her
family n broken, disheartcned woman
with death staring her in the face. That
was the beginning of the story; the end
was told by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer
expects to die, to a reporter who visited
her home
The first symptoms of consumption
came in the form of terrible sweats, both
night and day. From April until Sep
tember | was constantly cold and kept
wrapped up i'll blankets through the hot
test weather. A terrible cough took pos
session of me, my breast was sore TO the
slightest touch. and my limbs were like
cold clay. The hardest rubbing with the
coarsest towel would not create the
slightest flush, and the least exerton
would so exhaust me that l could barely
gasp for water.
Il went to the hospital in July and they
diagnosed my case as above stated. 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr..
Shelmerdine, a friend. who lives around
at 1914 Clementine street, said to me one
day: Mrs. Bowen, did you ever try DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
l had never heard of the mdicine, but in
my condition could not turn q deaf ear TO
anything that offered relief. 1t was after
considerable thought aud investigation
that L concluded TO discontinue all the
medicine | was taking. including cod
liver oil. and depend entirely upon Pink
Pills. L began to take the pills. at first
with but little encouragement. The first
sign of improvement was a warmth and
a tingling sensation in my limbs. Finally
the cough disappeared, my chest lost its
soreness and | began to gain flesh until
l was fifteen pounds heavier. All this
l owe TO DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and l
canno, praise them too highly"
Mrs. Bowen is n kindly faced lady of
middle age church member well-knOwn
and highly esteemed. She looks to-day
well and strong. and it seems almost i'm
possible that she was ever given up by
eminent physicians as an incurable con-
sumptive. Yet such is the case beyond
all dispute.

the elements necessary to give new life

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is found
IN the deficient quality of the blood.
During the winter, owing to various
causes, the blood becomes loaded with
impurities and loses its richness and
vitality. Consequently, as soon as the
bracing effect of cold air is lost, there
is languor and lack of energy. The
cure will be found in purifying and en-
riching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier. 1t
overcomes that tired feeling because it
