Desperate Measures Resorted to by a
Young wife.

Desperate Measures Resorted to by a
Young wife.
Dwellers in certain quiet residence
street on the north side are telling a
good story of the dilemma in which
one of them, a young wife, found her.
self not long ago and the daring man
ner in which she eXtricated herself
therefrom. She has been married but
few months, and has not yet got over
the delight of doing most of her own
homework, her only help being a wo-
man who comes once or twice week
to do the heavy cleaning, washing, etc.
The other day her dressmaker sent
home a handsome, nice gown 1t was
a perfect fit, and the young wife de
termined to don it and make few
calls. 1t is her custom on such occa-
slons, before dressing, to lock the back
door, secrete the key on the side porch,
and leave the house by the front door,
which has a spring lock. This she did
as usual on the day in question, after
which she re-entered the house by the
porch door and put the finishing
touches to her costume. Arrayed in
the pretty and becoming garment and
wearing a jaunty little hat which
charmingly set off her general get-up,
she stepped out of the front door and
pulled it to behind her, but unfortu-
nately caught bunch of her gown in
the door. With as near an approach to
q naughty word as n strictly proper
young woman generally allows herself
she gave smart pull at her gown, but
found hat 1t could not be released un-
torn. The little woman looked despair
ingly up and down the street for help
Not a soul was in sight. A hurried
glance at her watch showed that it was
later than she had expected, for like
the daughters of Eve in general she had
spent more time at her toilet than she
had to spare.
There was only one thing to do, and
in an instant she had made up her
mind to do it, She proceeded to undo
the hooks and buttons and to get out
of the dress. Her plan was to hurry
round to the back door, get the key,
enter, and, opening the front door from
within, secure the dress. She was just
stepping out of the garment when, look
ing up, she discovered that the quiet
street was livelier than had ever be-
fore been known in it's history. A
number of women in house near by
had suspended their labors and were
gazing upon the scene; grocery and
milk wagons had stopped in the street,
and stray passer-by or two were agog
watching the strange demonstrations
of the woman on the front porch. This
embarrassing situation did not make
her fingers any the more nimble, but at
last the ultimate button was Embossed
and away she went, vanishing vision
in white, around the corner of the
house. The gown was released from
the grasp of the front door and hall
an hour later, the street having by that
time resumed its normal appearance
the young wife reappeared more radi-
ant than ever, and an unusual amount
of color in her cheeks and an unmis-
taxable CLEAN of triumph in her eye
Her husband nearly laughed himself
into fit when told by his wife of hel
experience. The story was too good tC
keep, and has finally percolated through
small circle CT acquaintance.

PURE BLOOD

Is absolutely necessary in order to have
good health. The greatest affiiction of
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 240O disorders Incl
dent to the human frame, the large
majority arising from the impure or
poisonous condition OF the blood.
The best remedy for all blood dis
eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its loudest
praise. 1t is not what we say but
what Hoods sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
No remedy has ever had so marked
success, or won such enormous sales.
Scrofula in its severest forms yields
to its potent powers, blood poisoning
and salt rheum and many other diseases
are permanently cured by it. For a
general Spring Medicine to remove

lated during the winter, or to overcome

The corner of the Minnekahta block
has the reputation of being the battle
ground of the city. Another scrim-
mage took place there Wednesday
afternoon which was rather interesting.
John Fields, the colored bugler at the
home, has been celebrating the new
year by a glorious drunk. He came
down town that day in drunken con-
dition, and one-armed soldier was
sent after him. The one-armed man
tried to pursuadc him to return to the
home when the bugler commenced to
pound him. Marshall Curtiss inter
fered, whereupon the bugler turned
npon him and tried to do him up.
COrtie threw him down and choked him
into submission and took him to the
cooler where he will lay until he is
sober enough to have his hearing.
