SUFFERING SISTERS.
Curious Coincidence.
From Me Erpress, Anrora, m.

From The Express, Aurora, III.
"Two years ago." said Mrs. Harry
Rhodes, whose home is at No. Blackhawk
Street, Aurora, Kane County, Illinois, "Aly
life was one of misery because of rheumatic
affections which the most skilled physicians
Of this city were powerless to cure. My
Affections were Of a sciatic nature which
affected not only my hips but both legs and
feet to such degree that did not dare to
step upon the ground for fear Of bringing
on the most cxcruciating pains.
"The several physicians to whom ! ap-
piled were poweress to aid me, and was
In very despondent condition and almost
without hope. When one day noticed
testimonial In one OF our daily papers from
woman who had been cured Of rheumatism
by DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Sanders q Shcrer's drug store is just across
the street from my husbands place OF bnsi-
ness, and asked him to call there and pur-
chase q box of pills, which he did.
That first box of pills worked wonders
for me- might almost say that the first
half dozen produced very noticeable of.
fect for that night obtained sleep without
the aid OF opiates, and with the second day
the pains grew less and less until they de-
parted altogether, never to return l CON
tinued TO take the pills, In the prescribed
doses, for several weeks when found my
self entirely cured.
"My sister, MIS-, lcrl ScOtt, Wns~e uolhh
was at Duluth, Minnesota was troubled
with rheumatic difficulties slmilar " mine.
Her trouble was the principal reason for
tho rcmov-S ( the family to Chicago, where
Mr.. Scott Is IN the plumbing business, aud
their home is now at Is Teale Court They
expected the atmosphere OF Illinois to as
sist in n cure which tho physicians could
not bring about in the climate of Superior,
but my sister became no better, with the
very best of medical attendance, until l
recommended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
her As in my case they worked speedy
cure, and Mrs. Scott Is now oatirely FREQ
from all rheumatic disorders, and she Is as
conscientious as am in her praises OF tho
remedy which has done so much to mako the
lives Of two families far happier than they
were two years ago"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life aud richness 10 the blood

FASHIONS IN fuRS.
Garments and Trimming for Gold Weather
Costumes.

Exceedingly smart are the short fur
Jackets for wear when winter sets in,
The fronts are loose, the back tight
fitting, with just a little fullness in the
skirts, sleeves medium size, and turned
back rcycrs faced with the fur, and so
arranged that the collar ut the back
can be pulled up as high as the ears il
necessary, or course short fancy jack
cts in the Eton and bolcro style are to
be seen in fur, but these are more like
the trimming of the street gowns. They
nrc extremely becoming, for they have
broad pointed revcrs which turn back

satin covered with lace ruf.les and ja-
bots.
Revers Of fur are much used in trim
ming handsome gowns, and plated
piece OF fur scwcd into the shoulder
seam and hanging over the front OF the
waist Is one Of the newest fnncles. Chin
chilla on dark blue or green, beaver.
otter, and sable on all colors, are In
style; and the pieces Of fur certnniy
give n touch Of smartness and oddity
that Is very desirable. The band OF fur
around the hem Of the gown Is again
In favor even on evening gowns, while
on the latter II IL also used 10 outline
the seams on either side OF the cm-
broidcred front breadth; and around

Mouflon, the fur that came into favor
last season, is TO be greatly in fashion
this year. II is OF such nn exquisite
shade of gray that It is more becoming
than chinchilla, although the latter is

this fur, but Il is not yet used MS trim

A NOVEL WELL BUCKET.
The stranger who Called for u Drink Was
Mystlflcd,

A traveller who was journcyiug
through Florida, not far in the interior,
stopped one day for drink of water
at house by the wuysidc.
"Cert'ny, stranger" said the sun
hurnod, barcfooicd woman, who had
met him at the door. Then she stuck
her head through the crack and begun
to call; "Sall Here you, Sail Take o
gourd an go git the stranger fresh
drink"
He watched and saw tow headed girl
disappear down path which led
through truck patch, until she stopped
upon a small board platform, lie saw
her let rope rapidly down, but there
appeared TO be no bucket attached. and
lie heard no knocking against the sidea
Of the well, such us u bucket usually
makes In its descent. When 1t WINS
drawn up again, the girl had changed
her position 70 that he could not see
what was on the end OF the roIr, but
he did not hear her set bucket down,
nnd, after she had left, saw only whn,
looked like u bunch of weeds dangling
from the rope. But she brought the
water, and 1t appeared all right
"llow did YOU manage to get H." he
asked, without n bucket?"
"Wc'yc got buckci," said she. "Dad
hrung us new one yesterday. He
nshed II up quite awhile ago, but II had
to be cleaned up"
Anxious to sec the bucket that had
heen "nshed up" asd "cleancd," the
traveller made some excuse TO stop to
the well, and what he saw was large
sponge which, when II wns let down,
would absorb M much water as ono
person could draw up and hold good
share OF II until II was drawn TO the top
and emptied by squeezing.-Detroit
