Not Always Understood.

A fac, often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer As much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as men. The womb is situated
back of and close to the bladder, and for
that reason anv distress, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidney $,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often
bv mistake attributed TO female weak
ness or womb trouble OF some sort.
The error is easily made aud may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twent, tour hours: sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need docloring- II YOU have
pain or dull achirg in the back, pass

He went to Wicker's room and found

says there are three or four hundred

there are good lands for which water
can be procured for irrigation in Ne

Early. Days In the West.

Travellers over the dreary stretch of
Nevada desert traversed by the Cen
trail Pacific railroad come upon the re-
minder Of sad little romance near
the eastern boundary of the Silver
State.
In the early twilight of an eastern
trip. or an hour after dawn on the
western, it can be seen, cleaning from
the hillside in the form Of a simple
wooden cross standing on the hillside.
The cross is white-washed and the
youngest and most sharp sighted OF
the tourists can .decipher the legend
in black across the horizontal part
aMaiden's Rest"
The cross marks the grave of two
lonely young women who died in an
emigrant camp before the Contra
Pacific had united the east and west
by it's strong bands of steel. They
were sisters, Alice and Rose Sewail.
Their father, hale country grocer,
was a victim Of that contagion known
In l849 as the California gold fever,
and was en- route In prairie schooner
for the goldhelds on the weste-n
slope of the Sierras when the girls
sickened and. died. Alice chung to
life with a pitiabie grasp. Her lover
was one Of the company Of Iowa emf
grants, and tine young couple had rosy
dreams OF the future home in the
land beside the Pacific. Wrestling in
the throes Of fever, she would pray for
recovery. She diei with her arms
about her lovers neck and with her
prayer for life echoing in his ears.
Rose fingered days afterward until
the fever iend had racked her frame
beg ond hope Of aught but rest. 1t
was rest she prayed for as she was
dying and she found it in the grave
beside her sister on the sun kissed hill
on the border 'iue Of Utah and Neva-
da. 1t was an invitation to the red
savages of the western wilds to mark
the graves of the dead In that later
reign Of terror. There was nothing
therefore, but memory as a guide to
their resting place, when ten years
later friend of the dead girls and
their father and the young man who
had sincerely mourned Alice's loss
visited the spot again.
The old man and the young had met
death instead of fortune in the smil-
ing new land that was 30 cruel to
many Of her guests. The friend was
returning from the goldffeIds poorer
and wiser man, and he stopped on
the border line of Nevada to pay q
last poor tribute to the memory OF the
! young women who had given up thei
lives there. The rough pine boxes
we're resting where they had been
lowered decade before. The friends
purse was very light one and he
could do no more than erect a cross
fashioned by his own hands.-St.
Louis Republic.
