THE CITIZEN.
The Turkeys Christmas Gift.

Said a tender, juicy turkey
Unto a wise old hen,
This is the joyful Christmas tide
Amongst the sons Of men.
They tell me It's blissful time,
When human hearts are good;
And kind and loving gifts are sent
Throughout the neighborhood-
I'm sure that | am well beloved
In fact i'm quite pet
Now, mother, tell me what do you
Suppose that | Will get:
And then that good cid turkey hen
Looked up in sad surprise,
And while she spoke the briny tears
Were gushing from her eyes.
Alas, my son, tbs very true,
That you'll receive gift.
And you will get it. precious one,
most sudden, hard and swift.
They'll give to you n little axe.

But oh; II grieves me sore to say

Pavement GRAY.

Pave or pavement gray is the very
newest of the new tints of this popular
color. 1t is not as becoming as it is
fashionable. for there is neither hint
of rose, cream nor fawn in the shade.
Geranium, turkish and cerise reds are
severally used as touch of color to re-
lieve gowns made wholly of pavement
gray. for it is metallic dye more ex-
acting than any worn since the days of
zinc gray, that was the regulation color
for brides travelling costumes and a
shade that would detract greatly from
the good looks of Venus herself. There
is no necessity, however, for selecting
this particular color other than from
the reason that it heads the list of grays
approved by fashion, for the stores are
this season filed with beautiful fawns
and grays-grays that combine exqui-
sitely with pink accessories or make up
elegantly with mauve or violet. Other
shades melt into sage and delicate olive
tones that admit of touches of blue on
the bodice, and other familiar grays are
shown that make Htylish costumes re-
lieved with white or yellow.-New
York Post.

beauty, whs works her own claim and
who, the gossips have it, is making
money. Not only does she work her
claim but on more than one occasion has
defended it with revolvers. If there is any
thing that the miner admires, it is plucky
woman. If there is aught that he really
loves, it isa pretty girl who seems not to
be aware of his existence. Pleasant,
bright, with CHEEKY word for all and a
word of affection for none, this girl of the
mines has almost set the diggings by the
ears.
No man has the slightest claim ON An
ME Graves, as she calls herself, and if any
man alleged that he did have it would
probably have tendency to shorten his
existence. Miss Annie is in many respects
like unto the typical westerner. About
the medium height, she is of good figure
and carries herself well. Her face is nei-
Their oval nor round. As one of the red
shirted gentry said, "She's pretty-that's
all There is scarcely night that in
some one of the places where whisky and
cards rule there is not quarrel over this
young woman between men who have per-
haps never spoken to her. She is the
daughter of the diggings, and there is no
man there who would not fight for her at
tho drop of the hat.
A to her past history she is silent. No
one knows whence she came The most
that anybody can say is that she simply
appeared here one morning and from that
time the diggings' Inhabitants have been
her slaves 1t might be thought rather
dangerous task for pretty young woma n
to go about alone and apparently friend
less, so far as close friends are concerned,
but the man who would say an insulting
word to Annie Graves had better turn his
thoughts To the next world, for that is the
direction in which he is sure to go.

Thrown
From a Horse

It matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi-
bic for the doctors to effect a cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-ca11ed blood puri-
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S. S. (Swift's Specifc) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
1t never fails to cure blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.

PROFITABLE ART WORK.
Decoration of Novelty Goods-Designink
Calendars and Booklets.

Decoration
Calendars and Booklets.
The student anxious to utilize her
knowledge of painting will find good
field in the decoration of what are tech
nically called "novelty goods" This
term includes dinner and menu cards,
"favors'' for the german, the satin
boxes and bags used by confectioners,
wall pockets and thousands of similar
articles of dainty and fanciful char
acter. Skill in this direction is sure to
find good market, according to The
Art Amateur, authority for the follow
ing:
One taking up this kind of work as a
regular employment can select one of
two systems, either designing at home
and selling to the shops or dealers or
by applying for a position in one of the
workrooms Of a novelty" establish
ment. Whether the artist in novelty
goods is working by the piece or by the
hour, the pay is small enough. The best
designers-those who originate the pat
terms that are to be copied by the others
sometimes are paid as much as 80
cents an hour. The under workers are
paid from 25 to 80 cents. Working by
the piece, they may be paid dollar for
. an deliberately painted box that has
perhaps taken them many hours to
paint.
For the higher grade of workers
those who can furnish original ideas
there are two departments of designing.
One is the designing of new shapes and
| articles, the other of the paintings that
are to decorate them When finished,
these patterns are handed to the under
workers to be copied. There is a GER
tain lightness of touch that is required
for success in painting these novelty
goods The color should be used trans
| parently and the effect obtained at
once. Where opaque colors are neces-
sary they should be used very crisply.
The most constantly salable designs
are flowers with sentiment, ''pansies
for thought roses or violets. Land
scapes are now rarely used unless ex-
quisitely done. Figures are popular for
dinner cards and menus and are most
liked when cut out.
| For colors to be painted upon, pink
| is the most salable Dark blues and reds
| are much used for the western trade.
For this sort of work there is room
for great skill in taking advantage of
! the popular fads of the day. OF course
| at the times of the Intercollegiate foot
ball games everything in college colors
is especially taking
Designing calendars and booklets is
another line of work which, while en-
tirely distinct from the painting of nov
| city goods, is often undertaken by the
same students. Original designs for cal
endars are in constant demand, while
| the call for booklets huctuates.

From the Washington Post
We cannot say that there is any
lack of financial ability in the world.
While many fail to accumulate auy-
thing, and not few fail to keep
what they have, there is respectful
percentage who get and hold, and
continue to get more. Taking the
world at large, there is no doubt a
good deal more on the credit side of
the ledger than ON the debtor But
while this is true of individuals, it is
by no means true of nations. There
is not nation on the earth today in
an easy financial condition-scarcely
one whose CURE Mt expenses are not
in excess of its income. While wealth
seems to be increasing, expenditures
increase faster. and the demand for
heavier taxetio becomes more i'm
perative Those who are called to
take charge of the finances of the
government appear wanting in the
skill that will contine the expenses
within the income The retrench

The blame is not, however, wholly

be in large part placed upon the
whole body oil the people. While

year by year there is a demand tor

What will be the end? 1t seems
probable that ia less than another

Mr.. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
about three years ago my grand
d aug liter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat
ment of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months re-
manned about the same, un til it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, and fearfu11y
dishguring her.
''After being constantly under a
physician for year, and her condi-
ton great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a ve1l-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
Reading of the many cures of
blood troubles effected by S. S. S., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. AT first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway"
S. S. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula,
Eczema, Cancer, Rheum atism, Ca
tarrh, ETC., no matter how deep-seated
the case. S. S. S. is guaranteed
