The following story comes from
Relo, says the Carson Appeal:
A youog man just home from an
eastern college invited young lady
OF the village to a Sunday morning
ride on his tandem bicycle. She was
delighted, and could scarcely wait to
carry the to her particular girl
Ljend, who, it happened, lad hereto
fore occupied the front seat on that
tandem. Then the plot was laid.
@How NICE" said her chum. @Bave
you bicycle suit? Why not wear
mine? Don't YOU think this will look
lovely.
Now, the garments exhibited hap
pened to be bathing suit of pro-
nounced colors and unique design.
but as the first young lady had never
been within sight of salt water, and
was of a guileless nature, anyhow, the
bunco game worked to perfection.
The youog mans breath sudderly
left him that Sunday morning when
his companion came out ready to
mount, but that was nothing CON.
pared to the panic they created along
the route. Pious matrons on their
way to church threw up both hands
and prayed fervehtly, and the male
population on the streets stopped
epellbound and watched them out Of
sight. The young man had little to
say, but it is claimed he broke Zim
merman's record getting to the un-
frequented streets.

With One Thousand Militiamen on
 Guard There.
 Leadville, Col, Sept. 22-Over 1000 members of the National Guard of the state of Colorado, under command of General Edgar Brooks, are now on duty in this city Some of them are do- ing guard duty at the Maid of Erin and other mines, where attempted de- struction of property is apprehended, but the main body is encamped near the Denver and Rio Grande railroad de- pot.
 The streets are filled with idle men who are excitedIy discussing the situ- ation, but no violence has been done since the attacks on the Coronado and the Emmet mines early yesterday, in which it is/ now known that at least six men were killed.
 No attempt has yet been made to re- sume operations at any of the mines which are closed in consequence of the strike, but it is believed that as many of the miners are desirous of retur ning to work some of the mines will soon be re-opened under the protection af- forded by the presence of the troops.

Women get plenty of sympathy after they are dead. Tom Hood made very pathetic picture in his Bridge of Signs, ? but the probabilities are that the woman needed sympathy great deal more before she died than she did afterwards. Thousands of wo- men. are enduring much worse things than death. The most distressing thing about it all is that it is needless.
 Uterine troubles are considered well-nigh incurable. Women seem to think that they must go on bearing these things forever. To be sure, some of them make all effort to get well by going to their physicians, but thou. sands are deterred from this, both because they have seen that 1t was not likely to do much good, and because they know that the first thing the physician would insist npou would be the examinations and local treat ment so justly abhorrent to every modest woman. These things are generally as un- necessary as they are distasteful Every woman can be made strong and healthy by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton. 1t is a most marvellous medicine for all forms of female weakness and disease. It is wonderful purifier and cleanser. It acts directly on one set of organs, and on no other, but in doing this, it frequently cures troubles that were seemingly of an entirely different character and origin. A disorder of the distinctly feminine organs is likely to cause all sorts of symptoms, and careless doctors frequently doctor women for neural gia or dyspepsia, or insomnia, when the real trouble is in the organs distinctly feminine. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will make any woman we'll Sometimes when disease | has run on so long that the entire system is debilitated 1t is necessary to use in connec- tion with the Prescription" Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery, general tonic, blood-purifer, and blood maker, without an equal in the world There is no case so severe that these two great medicines will not cure it. Thousands of women have frequently testified to this fact.
