Thousand Years for This.

Slough Of Despond.
Well, the discovery has been proclaimed,
but men are slow TO believe.
The way is open TO inquire, to investigate.
Why viii not every man do so?
There is simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects of the sins of youth and
the excuses Of later years which blast the
lives of multitudes of men.
There is way 10 regain strength lost by
disease, overwork and worry.
A way to secure and retain the abilities

after suffering an atonement."
A way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
A way to replace nervousness, dread and

A way to give full strength, development

A way to remove every obstacle to happy

The
Greatest
Medium.
THE WICHITA WEEKLY EAGLE

Established in 1872 and for twenty-four
years has stood at the head of all Week
lies in the state. There are people in
this county who have read it from its
first issue and are readers today. Why
do they read it? Simply because they
are after the reliable and latest news
and can only get ii through this medium
1t has more columns of live reading
than all the Weeklies in the county.
Business men are approached daily by
representatives and even proprietors Of
these local papers with the stereotyped
expression that they have the largest
circulation in the county. Well, we pay
the postage. They do not. If they
are the local papers they claim they are
hard to locate. There have been hun
dreds of them in the twenty-four years
that the Eagle has been in the field and
have died as many more must do I'M

ence, although such a view does not look
unreasonable. The preference, in many
instances is similarly for the sublime, but
in the way of the desire of the female
artist is that question of accessibility
above referred to. Perhaps all such prob
lens will be successfully and satisfactorily
solved when the scepter of the new woman
waves over the land.
1t is not an easy matter to do justice to
the devotees Of art among the women of
San Francisco. Some have won honors in
the East and in Europe. THE CALL to-day
furnishes sketches from a number of them.
The time will doubtless come when, by
some process yet to be discovered, the
daily paper will he enabled to picture
landscapes and flowers IL colors on short
notice and without the large amount of
trouble and expense that attends such
efforts at the present day.
The sketch by Miss Lille L. Kendall is
that OF a bunch of California poppies
(eschscholtzias) and wild oats. The fact
that the eschscholtzia is the California
State flower causes especial interest to at
tach to it. These peoples grow wild and
often nearly cover the landscape. In the

over chasms and surmounting all the
other difficulties that women, accord ing
20 the chivalric notion, at least, were never
intended To endure.
Woman is a more sociable being than
her brother, anyhow, and there will be
none to dispute the fact that her ways are
instinctively the ways Of delicacy and re-
finement The male artist, in order to
achieve triumph in sketching scene
from higher ridges than were ever ascend
ed by painter before, willingly becomes
hermit, burying himself, as It were, from
the world Of civilization for weeks and
months. The inspiration which comes to
him meets no distracting influences.
When the ideal view is reached he makes
it his own, studies it till the picture IS in
effaceabIy in his mind and till every mark
on his original sketch is mentally trans
lated into a glorious realism.
Now, as TO his sister-artist, she will
exercise her talent or even genius in
regions not so difficult of access, or she
NAV pursue her studies of nature as a
mem Der of a summer pleasure party; but
when it comes to long, lonely, individual
tramp through some unfrequented and
rugged piece of country-why, that is quite
another thing.

Tom Hill and Hugo Fisher may haunt

friends recommended him to secure the
services of a certain young man to amuse
the guests. The tradesman took the ad-
vice, and the young man was among those
who attended the soiree. First, the young
man gave an imitation of Paulus, then be-
gan an imitation of Nine. Sarah Bern

former then said:

sketch of the gentleman who takes the
piano 20 pieces to find a halfpenny he has
dropped inside it. " First he took off the
wooden case, then he proceeded to un-
screw the instrument, piece by piece, and
TO pile up the pieces on the floor. There
was much laughter when, after ali this,
the young man said, II have il" and ex-
hibited a halfpenny. When it came to
putting the piano together again, how
ever, he declared it must be sent to the
makers, and there was therefore no
dancing that night. A hundred francs

begun to discover the upnum bered scenic
attractions of our own State, remarked
Mrs. Loosely. "One might spend years in
that portion of the Colorado Desert which
lies in Riverside County and be contin-
ually finding new and delightful as well as
grand and impressive scenes"
The sketch by Mrs. Loosely is that OF
the waterfalls in Tahquitch Canyon, near
Palm Springs. The latter place is eight
miles from Palm Springs station, and to
reach it desert of fine rock and sand is
crossed. The palm groves that appear
here and there for nearly 800 miles up into
the mountains make a splendid sight.
They are from twenty to seventy
feet nigh and have black clusters OF
fruit. Many OF the trees have charred
trunks, the Indians believing that by char
ring the trunks of the trees they make the
palmfruit sweeter. The notion is foolish
one, of course, and the Indians in so doing
are simply Fastening the death of the very
trees they depend on for much of their
choice food. In the black canyons near
Palm Springs are many cacti.
Mrs. Loosely has visited Alaska, and her
collection of curios is a rare and valuable
one. In connection with her studio is

ROMEO AND JULIET.
Shakespeare Changed the Construction
for the Better.

In one important matter Shakespeare
has followed neither Bandello nor Porto,
but Boalstuau and Brooke. In the drama
Rome is dead when Juliet awakes; in
Bandello and Porto there is a terrible
scene between the dying husband
and the waking wife. And 1 cannot for
bear to offer few remarks on this
matter, because many have considered
Shakespeare's version inferior.
| do not think Shakespeare has always
improved on what he has received from
others, but in this respect, assuming that
he knew the other version of the dying
see ne, l think he has; or, to put it in an
other way, think the dramatic version is
the better one for dramatic purposes,

lberate choice or not. Mrs. Fanny

reflection on the humanity of opulent

into the habit of confning their gifts to
colleges. These colleges devote portion
of their benefactions to promote the inde-

ton and teaches students to gouge out the
eyes of living cats and scientifically note
their slow death by the watch. Recent bene-
factions to our own university have rend-

Mrs. Cora Potter Relates a Pathetic In

"a pathetic and neyer-to- be-forgotten
incident occurred to me while stopping at
Cowes, the great English yachting center,
in the summer of 1885, writes Mrs. Cora
Urquhart Potter. "What is called the
Squadron week was in full swing, and
the beautiful Solent was crowded with
yachts belonging 20 the princes, nobility
and wealthy commoners of England.
Conspicuous among the magnificent craft
assembled was the Osborne, the royal
yacht, on which his Royal highness the
Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales
and their family were spending the time.
Entertainments were the order of the
