How a Young Girl Was Broken

Should Not Have Been Allowed to
Thus lnjure Herself.
But OF Course the Best Thing Was Done I'm

Perhaps you think you are not working
too hard, but if you feel weak, nervous,
tired, fretful, if you have dull-feeling head
sleeplessness, are easily disturbed or ex'
cited, you are over-taxing your nerve
strength. They are sure SYM toms OF ex'
hausted nerve power.
Other symptoms soon follow, such as
dizziness, trembling, palpitation, dyspep
STA, kidney and liver disease, poor blood
and cold extremities They led to pros
tration, paralysis, insanity or premature
DEATH Miss Blanche Atwood OF Stowe,
VT, got into just this condition. Her
mother, Mrs. S. g. Atwood, writes as fol
lows about her wonderful cure:
about a year ago, my daughter,
Blanche, from too close application TO
study, became worn out. Her head was all
confused, and at times she was almost
crazy. She was terribly nervous and did
not sleep well at all.
"She was in frightful condition, and
we worried constantly about her. we
were obliged to take her from school, Tor
she was not able to attend She was CON-
pletely used up and good for nothing.
"a friend who had been cured by DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
advised US to try it. She commenced Us
ing it and almost Immediately began 10
improve. Her nerves grew strong, she
slept well and her head became clear.
"She was soon entirely cured OF all her
troubles and was in perfect health. The
medicine benefited her general health
also, as she was much better and stronger
than before. I recommend DR.. Greene S
Nervura blood and nerve remedy to every
body "
If you have overworked in any way and
weakened your nerves, or injured your
health, you can get we'll by taking this
wonderful medicine There are thousands
of people who are in just this condition.
They are not sick with any particular dis
ease, but they are out OF order, have weak
nerves and tired bodies They do not eat
or sleep well, wake tired mornings, have
lost their snap and energy, and work be
comes an effort. Such people need DIR.
Grcene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
1t gives health and strength. 1t should
by all means, be used at this season, for it
is the best of all spring medicines.
1t is not patent medicine. but the pre-
scrptiop of the most successful living
specialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases, DIR. Greene of 81 Temple Place,
Boston, Mass. He has the largest practice
in the world, and his grand medical dis
coyery * the result of his vast experience.
The great reputation of DIR. Greene is a
guarantee that his medicine will cure,
and the fact that he can be consulted by
anyone, at any time, free of charge, per-
sonally or by letter, gives absolute assur-
ance of the beneficial action of this Won
derful medicine.

MAINE SENATORS
On Request for Minister
Thurston's Recall.
Senator Frye Thinks Administration
Makes Usual BIunder.
Senator Hale Has Little Different View Of
the Matter

Washington March Ex-senator Frye
of Maine in an interview, today, said
that Minister Thurston' s dismissal looked
to him like very small piece of business.
IF the Hawaiian government can put up
with Minister Willis" he said, II think
this government might easily overlook
such q trivial matter as that made the
excuse for Minister Thurston's dismissal.
As understand the matter. Mr.. Thurston
did not give to the press official comuni-
cations but the information that he i'm
parted to the newspaper men was sum-
mary of the news conveyed to him by pri-
yate letter.
~ think Secretary Gresham's displeas-
ure with the minister dates back to a time
anterior to this occurrence. Think Minis
ter Thurston S famous reply to Blount
started the trouble, and l think Mr..
Thurston was absolutely right in that
reply to Blount The administration did
not like it and they have felt resentful to-
ward Mr.. Thurston ever since. !"
Senator Hale, one of the most jealous
friends of the new Hawaiian republic in
the Senate, takes different view of the
case. Mr. Hale (who has been one of the
strongest defenders of the executive scs-
sions of the Senate) considers it inexcus-
able that Minister Thurston should have
made public the diplomatic correspon-
dence before submitting it to the state de-
partment, and if he did this, the senator
says, he was clearly wrong and could not
expect that the secretary of state would dc
otherwise than ask for his recall.
In fact, l feel sure, the senator said,
today, "that the administration is adverse
to the Hawaiian republic, and that of
itself should have furnished Mr.. Thurston
with his strongest reason for discreet con-
duct.
Senator Frye, who is a leading member
of the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions. remarked, today, that he was al
most sorry that there seemed probability
of Spain apologizing for the Alliance in
cident II had almost hoped, he said
THAT Spain would assume such an AFRO
CANT and belligerent tone that it would
be necessary for the United States to go
over and take possession of Cuba We
certainly ought to have that island to
round out our possessions as they should
be. and if we cannot buy it, for one should
like to have an opportunity to acquire it
by conquest.

A MOVING MOUNTAIN.
IL Is Travelling Slowly But Surely Down
the Columbia River.

Inc SOluHnDi.t ItiSefs
A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is a
triple-peaked mass of dark brown
basalt, or 8 miles in length where it
fronts the river, and rises to the height
of almost 1000 feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
that would be likely to suggest itself
to the mind of anyone passing it, yet
it is a wcll-established fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but
steadily down to the river, as if it had
deliberate purpose some time in the
future to dam the Columbia and form n
great lake from the Cascades to the
Dalles.
In its forward and downward move
ment the forest along the base of the
ridge has become submerged in the
river. Large tree stumps can be seen
standing dead in the water on this
shore. The railway engineers and
brakemen find that the line of railway
that skirts the foot of the mountain is
being continually forced out of place.
At certain points the permanent way
and rails have been pushed or 10 feet
out of line in few years.
Biologists attribute this strange phe-
nomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes the bulk of the
mountain, rests on substratum of
conglomerate or of soft sandstone,
which the deep, swift current Of the
mighty river is constantly wearing
away, or that this softer subrock is Of
itself yielding at great depths to the
enormous weight of the harder min
eral above. -Goldthwait's Geograph-
ical Magazine.

ETIQUETTE IN WASHINGTON.
Senator Edmunds Was Authority on the
Delicate Subject.

Senator Edmunds Was Authority on the
Delicate Subject.
The wife of q new senator once told
me that she was determined to make
no social mistakes, so-wise woman
that she was--she asked Senator Ed
munds, who she knew was thoroughly
convcrsant with every detail of official
etiquette, by reason of his long career
in the senate, if it was not incumben,
upon her to make her first visit to the
wives of foreign ministers, says Kate
Fields Washington. He replicd:
Certainly not, madam: senator
never makes the first visit upon for
eign minister"
So, thanks to her good sense in con-
sulting an old senator, this lady did
not make the mistake that few less
wise new senator's wives have done of
making first visits, when etiquette re-
quired that they should receive them.
OF course, as the senate has increased
in size the last few years, it can hardly
be expected that foreign ministers
should call upon new senators, but
they ought to upon the old ones ard
upon others whom they wish to know.
/ think the charming wife of one of
the diplomats has adopted a very wise
rule, as she remarked to senator's
wife to whom she had just been PFC
sented: Il know it is my place to call
on senator's wives, but wait until
meet them, and l shall now give my
self the pleasure of calling upon you"
If the ladies of the diplomatic corps
would follow the lead of this popular
lady, they would avoid some OF the
mistakes that they now make in our
official etiquette.

is GREATER THAN ROYALTY ITSELF.
AN ARTISTS INSPIRATION
Unable to Draw Picture Except In the
Presence of a Certain Eicure.

Unable to Draw Picture Except In the
Presence of Certain Figure.
Walter Burridge, the artist, tells a
good story on himself and proves it by
showing the blank space on the wall
where the picture, one of the ac-
cessories of the tale, used to hang.
He went one day to the studio of a
friend and found there an anatomical
figure, such as are to be seen in studios
everywhere. 1t was good one, and
Burridge wanted it, for his own had
been broken. He expressed desire to
have it, but the artist friend wouldn'.
give it up for any money. 1t was his
inspiration, he said. He needed it even
for the composition of letter. And
as for drawing anything in the human
figure without it, that was simply
hopeless He couldn't spare it.
So Burridge went away. But another
day, while in the same studio, and in
the absence of the owner, third
artist, who commonly shared the place
and worked there, said Burridge could
have the model if he wanted. The
owner had concluded to get along
without it.
And about an hour after the owner
came back. He sat down and tried to.
draw wagon. But he couldn't. He
tried to write letter that had long
been overdue. But he could not get
his thoughts together.
Something is gone" said he. 81
can't do anything. have lost some
thing"
maybe it is your brains," said the
man who shared his room. "Burridge
has been over"
"The fgure!" cried the artist.
''That's it." And he started ont. When
he came back he brought no. only the
figure. but water color sketch as
well. 1t had taken Burridge days to
complete the picture, and it marked
one Of the pleasantest events in his So
journ along the Grand canyon Of the
Colorado.
But it squared him.-Chicago Herald.
