confidence in his character as u man to
say that he will keep faith with himself
and make good his promises.

wOMAN's MOAN
Hear the despairing cry that one of
the abandoned of San Francisco ad-
dressed to the editor of The Examiner:
Liquor keeps us where we are. The
gin holes, curse them, Their keepers,
God forgive. The laws which make them
possible, curse them. curse them! curse
them!!! Reform us? How. when rum
makes three every week? Reform us? Re
form your laws! How l laugh-laugh
with despairing shrek at the attempts
of some kind hearted and well meaning
people to reform us without reforming
and informing themselves! Reform when
the greatest enemy to moral reform ia
standing open day and night in thOus-
ands OF places in San Francisco? What
colossal nonsense! The law smiles aud
Christian law makers wonder. Heaven
is impoverished; hell is inriched My hot
head is against the window pane; my
aching heart is bursting"
This is no fiction. 1t is the cry of one
OF our wrstched sisters-a woman of flesh
and blood and mind and Affections
some mother S darling girl. And thous-
ands OF her KIND are pleading in their i'm.
potent despair for release from this de-
vourer of womanhood and parent of
their woes-the legalized saloon-and
pleading to you and to me. And the peo-
pie OF the churches, who have the power
to stop this thing, stand idly by while
the work of ruin goes on about them
every night. leaving the valiant "slum-
mers' of the Salvation Army to snatch
what brands they can from the burning
brands so charred and blackened that
the Church will not touch them lest it
might soil its aristOcratic hands
And the conditions will continue until
the people rise in the might of their
awakened manhood and womanhood
and demand at the polls that men OF
moral character-men who care more for
the sobriety and virtue of their constit.
uents than they do for their votes; men
who will defend womanhood and work
for q purer manhOod-the present con-
diticns will continue until the voice oil
the people is heard demanding that such
men shall make and enforce our laws

A Handsome and Convenient Desk

A Handsome and Convenient Desk.
One of the handsomest as we'll as
one of the most convenient things of
the kind ever seen here is a beautiful
and spacious writing desk which has
lust been placed in the private office
of Mr.. J. 2. Taylor, Of the successful
and enterprising firm of j. Z. Taylor
& Co., leaf tobacco dealers. The work
in question is artistic in design, conve-
niently constructed, and is made of the
very best quartered white oak, the finest
figured stock being used. The roll
top curtain is specially reinforced dust
and knife proof, with fancy six tumb-
Ter spring lock, fastening all drawers
automatically except the large centre
drawer, which has an independent fiat
keyed Yale lock. The writing bed is
made of special three-ply built-up stock
on heavy frame with carved edge
moulding, the finish surface being
made of the finest quartered oak.
The pigeon hole case is specially Sc
lected white wood, faced with cherry
and has filing boxes to fit. The pigeon
holes are 3x4xsa inches. 1t has stamp
trays, paper or letter trays and drawers,
ink stands, pen rests, etc. The draw
er file is most valuable convenience
for filing letters, price lists, catalogues,
etc., for frequent reference.
This contains 90 spaces (alphabetl-
cally arranged) adjustable in capacity
by a system ofsliding partitions, which
is entirely new and superior to any
thing heretofore used for the purpose.
The pedestals are made detachable
from writing bed by special system
These are closed at bottom to keep
out mice and dust. The drawers are
wide inside and fully finished and par
titioned. The extension slides are 10
inches wide which enables the user to
increase the table room 33 per cent.
1t has handsome closed panel back
and deep drawer file which is an en-
tirely new design. The finish of the
entire desk is a special hand-pollsh
which gives such universal satisfaction.
No fiuer material or finish is put on
any desk. 1t was ordered through Mr..
Samuel Watkins. We congratulate
both Mr.. Watkins and Mr.. Taylor upon
| the selection made.
| Flour for the family, Hay Tor the
| mules, Bran for the COW, at the Hustler S
| Hardee's prices are right.

Fast Living Americans,

We new world people are fast livers and
in nothing is this more observable than in
our reckless irregularity as to sleep and
diet. We alternately starve and gorge
ourselves, doing each in the most irregular
and hasty manner, without regard to the
nutritive value of the food consumed. or
the delererious effects upon the digestive
organs or the terrible tasks imposed upon
them at the most unreasonable hours. 1t is
little wonder we are nation of dyspep-
tics, and prone to constipation, piles, etc.
1t is to their efficacy as a remedy for those
ailments that Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets owe their unparalleled popularity
Good results always follow their use in
all cases of arrangement of the liver,
stomach and bowels.
