To the World of Women,

Weak, nervous, delicate, overworked
women need strength builder, tonic
for their nerves, and a cure for that aw-
full internal trouble that is wearing out
their lives. Thousands of women have
found such in DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy. Mrs. Chrishana Beal, of Jones'
port, Me-, writes that their daughter had
been a great sufferer from female trouble
and after repeated trials of DOCTORS pre-
scriptious and other sO-called cures, all
of which gave no relief, she used Favor
tie Remedy and it permanently cured
her.
If YOU have a headache, uterine ca
tarri, irregular menstruation, leucorrh1a
or irregular monthly periods, sickness
incidental to change of life, or any of the
attending evils that are present in female
complaints, use FavOrite Remedy; it will
build up quickly the run down constitu-
ton, dispel those tired looks and feelings,
restore the nervous system and perma-
nently cure you. Our daughters grow
up weak and delicate; mothers can avoid
such conditions by giving them DR.. Ken
nedy's FavOrite Remedy.

Why. This Is Worse Than Whisky,

So many remarkable and weird things
have been told about Chicago's drinking
water that people might be justified in
thinking the matter just a joke, but it
isn't. One day last week the coachman OF
a family living at 500 West Monroe street
was washing the family carriage with city
water when a wriggling something, which
proved to be 12 inch water moccasin
snake, was elected from tho mouth Of the
hose. The reptile was unframed, even
after being some time in pipes filled with
Chicago water, and is now preserved in
the museum at the water Department.

unusual and novel manner The building

tomary pick and wheelbarrow much Of
the excavation which is not in solid rock is
being done by water in a manner similar
to hydraulic placer mining.
The water is taken from tho Iron
Springs yerworks through heavy fire
hose and Ids a tremendous pressure, 1t re-
quiring four men to handle the nozzle, and
in two days hundreds Of tons Of earth and
loose rock were torn from the hillside. So
great is the hurry in forwarding the new
enterprise that the hydraulic excavation
was kept up at night. The scene is bril-

SHE HANGED HER LOVER.
A Texas Girls Remarkable Confession of
a Deed Prompted by Jealousy.

q DEED ITOmpCeu by jealousy
The body Of Albert Blackman, we'll to
do young man, was found near Logarto
Tex, a week ago. Around his neck was
rope and it was evident that he had been
hanged to the limb Of tree under which
the body lay. He had last been seen alive
in the company of Bessie Harris, the
daughter of farmer of that locality. At
the coronor's inquest Bessie testified that
Blackman committed suicide by hanging,
and that she witnessed the deed, and after
he was dead she cut his body down.
Suspicion was aroused, and warrants
were issued for the arrest of the Harris girl
and her father and mother. The prelimi-
nary examination of the prisoners has just
been held, and through the confession of
Bessie Harris ON the witness stand the full
details of the crime came out. She said
that Blackman had been counting her for
some time against the wishes of her par
ents, and that the latter, through their
talk, caused her to become insanely jealous
of the young man. Her father finally ar
ranged with her to put Blackman out of
the way.
On the night of the killing she met
Blackman, and they went for n walk. Sho
detained her lover in lonely place until
her father arrived with q rope and they
then told Blackman that they were going
to hang him. The girl states that Black
man did not offer any resistance while the
rope was being placed about his neck and
that she tied the knot with her own hands.
Then at the command of her father Black
man climbed tree and swung himself off.
"Hc died very easily" concluded the girl.
"After he wSs quiet 1 cut the rope and let
his body down to the ground"
The girl and her parents are held for
murder. -Philadclphia Times

In Chinese social life there is no wom-

minister at Picking insisted on congratu-

The Egyptians had a very remarkable

Connecticut has maie>ita felony to
dock a horses tail. Every state should
follow this good example. Docking ia
a painful operation which has nothing
whatever to Justify it. Fashion orders
it and that is enough for those who
mu,t follow fashion or bs unhappy.
The cruelty does no. end with tho
docking. The tail is the horses natural
fly brush. Deprived Of that he has no
way to protect himself against the in'
sects that light on him. 1t uIe to DO

to the beauty OF u horse. 1t is go now
and will be so always, in spite OF any

not always seek the good aud tho beau

Docking is fad, seuselsis and brutal
The law should forbid docking under
severe penalty. and it should so n step
further and make it a misdemeanor to
