SCORE ONE FOR MRS. BLooMER.
Her Trousers Were Responsible for the

Her Trousers Were Responsible for the
Dragons Song in Patience"
A prominent woman suffrage advo-
cate said the other day to New York
Press representative: do you know
that w. S. Gilbert, who wrote The
Mikado,' 'Pinafore,' Patience and
those other comic operas, got his idea
for song in Patience from woman's
suffrage advocate who was active in
New York forty years ago?
THE song is When l first put this
uniform on You know it is sung by the
heavy dragons, with a Yes, Yes,
chorus, and is one of the p-ettiest
things in pretty opera. Well, when the
bloomer fashion was first brought into
notice, in the fifties, Mrs. Bloomer wore
the garb, and some one wrote song
that was supposed to be in her words
When first put this uniform on. II
referred to bloomers, of course, in that
case.
when Gilbert wrote the libretto he
saw there was a good opportunity in
this song SO he wrote new words
and Sullivan wrote the music, retaining
the old refrain.
This is the truth, but do not think
it is generally known.

LOOKING BACKWARD.
Look after the Back: A Fall, 1
Strain, a Constant Sitting or
STOPPING Position Brings
Backache-DO You Know
This Means the Kid
neys are Affected.

How few people realize when their back
begins to ache that it is warning pro-
vided by nature TO tell you that the kid
neys are not working properly. You have
u severe fall, you strain yourself lifting or
perhaps you are compelled TO maintain q
sitting or STOPPING position for long inter-
walls at q time, your back begins to ACHE
then your head, you become listless, tired
and weary, but do you understand the
real cause? We think not, else you would
not use plasters and liniment on the back,
which only relieve but do not reach the
cause. If you would rid yourself of the
pain and cure the root of the trouble. at
the same time save many years of suffer
ing and perhaps life itself, you will take n
kidney remedy that has been tried and
proven that it will cure.
Mr.. John ROBSON of 661 Russell Street,
Detroit, says: As a result of exposure
during the war l have suffered ever
since with rheumatism and kidney trouble.
Pains would start in my hip and go
around to my back Highly colored
urine denoted kidney disorder. The pain
in my back was often so bad had to give
up work until the severity of the attack
passed away / have used many liniments
and other things, but received very little
relief. Some time ago l started using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they have worked
a wonderful change in me- My back is
all right now and / owe 1t all to the almost
magical influence of Doan's Kidney Pills. q"

through the war with honor and distinc-

Indians Dancing for Rain.

The Sac and Fox Indians have adopt
ed a new method to get rain. They ap-
pointed one day last week for all their
tribes to meet at Perry, Ok, to dance
for rain, and at the same time they in
vited several neighboring tribes to join
the festivity for the much-needed show
ers. Large numbers of Indians inet
and commenced dancing till Sunday S
food came, and this so buoyed them up
that they still dance that rain may still
come. Before they commenced their
festivals, they moved their wigwams
from the bottoms to the high lands,
saying that the rains would flood the
low lands.

CHAPTER Ix.-(ContlnusdJ

The letter was from her father. 1t
said not word about his own recent
illness, and was otherwise so charac-
teristic that it will be given entire.
"MY DEAREST DAUGHTER: | am
thankful you and Adolf went to the
Springs, beyond the atmosphere of this
cholera-smitten city. The doctors say
it is declining. l am in my usual
health, and my only anxiety is for you
and Adolf. OF course, business is
dull, and 1 have abundant time to
write this letter-the first have ever
had occasion to write you have had
you with me always
Before you return, wish you qui-
city to find out all you can about the
people at the Springs, without show
ing that you are anxious to know.
"First-what is the full name of the
proprietor and of all his family?
"How long have they all lived at the
Springs, and do they own the prop
erty?
How valuable is the property? Is
the hotel well patronized, and by what
kind of people?
"Is the proprietor and are his family
members of good society?
"Last-and most important-What
noted Incident, or accident, or bereave-
ment has fallen upon any of the family
in the last twelve or thirteen years?
And if any find out all about thames,
dates, effect upon others-in short
everything.
"By complying fully with my wish
you will oblige your old father very
much, and possibly benefit yourself.
A pen had been drawn through the
last four words to obliterate them, but
Vivette made them out.
Take your time, and do not return
till l write for you.
Remember me to Adolf, and believe
me- as ever, your loving father"
up. S.-Write when you can in the
meantime"
Here was food for thought. What
could her father want with the history
he sought? She could not imagine;
but she resolved to obey his instructions
to the letter, and trust TO her fathers
prudence and to time. She already had
a general knowledge of the Blake
family history, and for greater ac-
curacy she put it into written mem
orandum form, and determined to add
to it day by day as she acquired further
particulars; and She jotted
down from day TO day every
item obtained from Mrs. Blake,
,notl oil We
ready TO communIcate-and from any
other authentic sources.
In the early afternoon Adolf came
il and proposed a driye. He was look
ing pale, and his little black eyes
shone from their retirement in the
depths of their sockets like diamonds
behind glass.
"The doctor says need air and sun
shine; and drive over the hills with
you my sauveur, will renew my life
you will go?"
Certainly, Cousin Adolph, with
pleasure"
They were soon out oyer the hills,
with only himself to drive. Vivette
protested, but he declared himself
strong enough; and, in fact, he wanted
to be alone with Vivette.
AS they drove gaily from the door
through the evergreens and down past
the stables, one colored hostler said to
another:
"Looks like he'd bin sick, Shady;
but he kin handle 'em. Isn't the lady
jist too purity"
AT the laundry old Winny was at the
door. Putting up her hand to shade
her old eyes, she said to herself: "Uh!
Uh!" Nasal exclamation. "Too
purtv for dem specticlesi"
The Yale expositor., 1895-08-09

Gentlemen on the veranda had al
ready expressed themselves; and
the verdict as to Vivettes
good looks was unanimous, while
one gentleman had said: "Twould
be a shame for that cat-eyed cousin to
carry her off,"
