weakness and dragging, torturing pain.
No wonder women weep. The wonder s
that they are not oftener in tears for all they
have to bear and suffer and the saddest
thing about il is how little their sufferings
are understood. Even the doctor nine
times in ten says: "Oh, little nervous
ness, that's all Z" or neuralgia" or "irsom-
MIA" or dyspepsia" If he suspects the
real cause he insists upon examinations and
local treatment, about the very worst thing
possible to a nervous, overweight woman.
There is no need of these repugnant
methods. Any woman may insure health
and strength in womanly way by the use
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
cures the weaknesses and diseases of the
feminine organism absolutely and conf
pietefy. 1t fTas devised for this special
purpose by one of the most emipent and
experienced physicians in this country; an
expert specialist in womens diseases.

of charge. Her letter will be answered not
by mere nurse or uneducated, unscientihc
person, but by the most competent medical
authority anywhere obtainsble.

tains more clear and comprehensive advice
on medical subjects than any other book
ever published. A paper-bound copy sent

LET'S DEADLY SNAKES BITE.

DR.. Joseph Thompson. Jr.. Expert
mcnts with VenomoEs Reptiles.
DR.. Joseph Thompson. Jr., and his
collection Of precious snakes win soon
be removed from Edgewater, Staten
island, n. Y. There is Joy accordingly
among the Doctors ncighbors. not be-
cause they dislike the doctor, but they
really don't care for snakes. On sew
eral occasions they have been scared
half silly because they escaped. The
doctor has been appointed assistant sur
geon of the navy.
There is in the snakes a scientific
charm for DIR. Thompson, and his expe-
riments with his pets, in which he has
made himself a subject for their pois-
oned fangs. are startling. The doctor
not only handles the reptiles uncon-
cernedly without gloves, but has al
lowed one of the most poisonous of his
pets to sinkits fangs in the flesh of his
fore arm, and all for the sake of science.
By the prompt administration of anti
dotes DR.. Thompson has prevented seri-
Gus results.
He has worked with poisonous snakes
of and on for about five years, begin
ming with a North American rattler,
which he captured on Tongue noun
tain, near Lake George, by which snake
he was bitten on the knuckle of the in
dex finger of the right hand.
'I was away from the village" said
the doctor, land my only hope was to
bite the poison out. which did," Then
he exhibited the hole in the knuckle, at
the same time taking down a large rat
tier from the wall. saying: That is
the overcoat of the fellow that bit me.
There are only three very poisonous
snakes in this countryside rattler, cop
perhead and moccasin. None of them
will have any effect on a person proper
~ treated with antivenene, the antidote
brought out by the French scientist
Calmet."

a GOOD INDIAN.
Hired n Hearse I'm His Savage Days
in Which to Take a Ride.

in which to Take "a Ride.
Jack Stillwell, so well known to Kan
sas plainsmen, is now sober and we'll
behaved citizen at the little town of
Anadarko, in Oklahoma. Stillwell got
his first fame by passing through the
Indian lines surrounding the position
of Forsythe on The Aricaree in 1868,
and getting to Fort Wallace for re-
endorsements. Later he served through
Clusters campaigns, and still later APP
peared as one of'the great cards In Buff
falo Bills Wild West show,
When Oklahoma was opened to set
tiers Stillwell located at Ell Reno, where
for term he was police judge. The
lawlessness in the territory took many
Of her citizens up to Wichita to the
sessions of the federal court. When
Jack Stillwell went up the people of
Wichita usually knew that he was there.
He, with some of his friends, was in
the habit of iiyening up the town by
various kinds of freahsh sport.
On one occasion he hired hearse
ard they were going to take drive
over town when the undertaken learned
that there was no funeral and vetoed
the thing just as Jack was crawling
into the body Of the vehicle Jack tried
to, argue that they had paid for the
use of it and could ride in it II they
chose, but they had to give up the ride.
One evening, after they had been in
town several days and were feeling toll
erably good, Jack and some Of his
friends were walking down the street
when they came to bright newly
painted BARRIERS pole.
Jack sought out the proprietor, found
what the pole cost, and bought it on
the spot. Then the crowd hoisted It
on their shoulders and went on down
the street. They had not gone far be-
fore they "met up" with patrolman,
who, thinking they had, of course,
stolen the pole, arrested the crowd and
took them to the city bastile. There
they put up small cash bond and were
released until morning. When morning
came they appeared for trial. and Jack
explained that the pole was his and
he had paid for it; that he was going
to take it to Oklahoma, where the ma
tives had never seen a BARRIERS pole,
and it would be an object of curiosity
and wonder. Then he sent for the
barber from whom he had purchased
the pole, and the result was that they
were all released.
Whereupon they shouldered their
pole and marched down the street
again, to be arrested by another police
man and brought up before the judge
again. AS soth as the judge saw them
he ordered the officer to let them go.
They started out in another direction,
only to be arrested for the third time.
In the end the chief of police was
obliged to issue a general order stat
ing that the pole belonged to Stillwell
and he should not be molested. At the
same time he intimated to Jack that
they had had sport enough, and it
would be well for him to take his pole
and return to his nasve wilds.-Guth-

THE JOURNEYS END.

On the placid breast Of the River Of Rest
] am slowly drifting away:
LIES hills sink low on the sunset line.
And darklier grows the day
There's never ripple upon its tide
Nor oillOw with flashing crest:
But II flows forever. calm and wide
Through the shutdown gates OF the west
And the strife and battle and storm OF life
Fade like a dream away;
The sorrows that cut like a keen-edged
knife
Belong TO the heeting day.
For behind ME now In the distant past
There CLEANS a mist-clad land:
And It's hills that doomed so great and vast
Are tiny heaps of sand.
Oh. the path is so smooth when the jour
ney is done
And the tale of life is told.
And We drift on the breast Of the foods
that run
Through the sunset gates of gold.
