The balloon ascension at Columbia park on
Labor Day, under the auspices of the Inde-
pendent Social Club, was missed by many
owing to the lateness of the hour at which
it took place and for that reason many re-
quests have been made to the management to
have the ascension repeated. A meeting for
that purpose will be held tomorrow and it is
quite likely another balloon ascension will be
given at Columbia park within few days.

Both Sorey Afflicted but Relief is Found In Dr.. Williams

From .ae Gail, Lafayette, Ind.

The Can has known the Byers family, of

Byers is one of those deliberate men who
say little, but read and observe much. Mr..
Byers has been suffering for the past three
years with grip and kindred troubles. His
mother has ever been a sufferer, resulting
later in the most aggravating form of rheu-
matism. Some time ago Mr.. Byers was per-
suaded by q neighbor to try Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. 1t didn't take long to set Mr..
Byers to talking about this remedy. and the
Cal sent a special representative TO his home
to ascertain the exact facts. The subjoined
sworn statement of Mr.. Byers is sufficient.

"'Won't you have an apple?'
"He took it eagerly, saying as he did

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not looked
upon as a patent medicine, but rather as
prescription. Ananalysis of their properties
shows that they contain, in q condensed form,
all the elements necessary TO give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataXia, partial pa
ralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects
of Ia grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions, and the tired feeling re-
sulting from nervous prostration, all diseases
resulting from vitiated humOrs in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow cheeks They are for sale by all
druggists, or may be had by mail from DR..

Tho Ponies Dominant Trait.

My friend Paul Bourget defines the
American as ga man who invariably
uses the newest method. :" This is also
the dominant trait in the character of
Leo XIII. Within the measure permit
ted him by heavy chain of traditions,
he does not hesitate to grasp the most
modern weapons in defense of his an
cient faith, and this deliberate boldness
explains his penchant for the American
character. Yet in those very innova-
tions which most alarm his timid advis-
ers he is conscious of being far less an
innovator than restorer of forgotten
traditions. He relies upon the examples
set by the great popes of the middle
ages, who, in their day. came down to
the market place. stirred the crowds and
led the people on to anew horizons. =

THE CHlLDLESS WIFE.

She sits alone. The day is done,
The house is orderly and still. ~
Across her floors no quick feet run.
Within her heart no longings thrill
She fancies she is satisfied
That motherhood has been denied.
All day her busy hands have wrought
The tasks belonging to her lot,
Unhindered by an anxious thought
OF those sweet cares she misses not,
And now tonight she sits alone
And views the work SO deftly done.
From weariness she falls asleep,
Within the quiet of the room,
And dreams dream SO real and deep
That she awakes amid the gloom
And cries aloud to find it gone
And she still sitting there alone.
What new, strange longings fill her hearti
What discomfort, unknown beforel
Within her eyes the quick tears start
She longs to dream it DER and DER
That touch of baby arms that seem
To clasp her neck as in the dream.
