modern business will not permit the aver
age hard working business man to turn cow
boy even for short time each year. The
only resource left him, if he does not wish
to break down premature1y, is to keep a
watchful eye upon his health, and when he
finds that he is getting out of sorts, let up
little on work. and resort to the best of all
known tonics. That tonic is DR.. Pierce'S
Golden Medical Discovery. It promptly
puts a worked out man into condition, be-
cause it starts at the right place. It begins
by restoring the lost appetite. It corrects
all disorders of the digestion and makes the
assimilation of the food perfect. It invig-
crates the liver. 1t purihes the blood and
fills it with the hfe-giving elements of the
food. 1t is the great blood maker and flesh
builder. By enriching the blood it nour-
ishes and builds up every organ and tissue
in the body. No man ever broke down with
nervous exhaustion or prostration who re-
sorted to this great medicine when he felt
himself threatened by ill-health.
An honest dealer will not urge a substi-
tute. There is nothing in the world
''just as good" although avaricious drug
gists will sometimes say so for the sake
of the greater profit to be made upon the
inferior article.

Lace LnpDets.

If you know anybody who has a pair
of old-fashioned lace lappetts, says a
fashion writer, you may recommend
her to utilize these in the following
fashion: On the next evening or din
ner gown the lappets may begin almost
touching each other at the waist, and,
gradually parting, form a trimming
down the front of the skirt, ending in
immense quadruple bows of satin rib
bon, which must be stabbed through
with diamond buttons or clasps, or,
another way, as the cookery books say,
line the lappets with velvet or satin of
some bright color and turn them into
bretelles, crossing she shoulders and
meeting just above the waist, back and
front. Should any n wish to insult
and %vulgarize her beautiful old lace
with a touch of modernity she a buy
rhinestones or imitation emeralds,
sapphires or rubies and sew them all
over it.

In tapestry painting, in order t O Sc
cure the proper shades, it is a good
plan to select them in skeins of silk or
flax thread and match these exactly on
the palette when painting. The col
ors are so strong and crude in them
selves that it is only by carefully mix
ing and sufficiently diluting them that
artistic results can be arrived at. 1t
is possible to match in this way any
given shade, no matter how soft and
delicate. Should any color appear
brighter than it is intended to be, the
defect can Immediately be counteract-
ed by the application of a little compile
mentary color while the bright tint is
still wet. This is one of the advan-
tages of using transparent dyes. A lit
tie practice soon gives the required ex-

Men Have Their Nanities.


why do men talk so glibly of the
vanity Of women?" asked a Michigan
avenue dame the other day. DO they
fancy that they are superior to such
weaknesses as distinguish their frail
slsters-fondness for dress, for jewels,
for displays generally? If that is their
idea they have but a poor knowledge
of their own sex-of themselves, in
TACT, for no man is without his vanities
and they are just as conspicuous as are
those of women. A man never seems
to have grown too old or too ugly to
arrogate to himself admiration that a
woman in her palmiest days would
hardly dare claim. That crease in his
trousers weighs so heavily upon his
mind. He is never, l can see, perfect
ly assured of its perfection, unless the
trousers are just home from the tailor.
Imagine a woman getting into a
street car and hardly settling herself
before she begins pulling at a seam in
her gown! How tenderly he bitches it
into correct position. He doesn't mind
in the least showing his ankles, and a
mans ankles-ye gods! what sights to
see, even the best dressed pair going.
Surely it must be that vanity prompts
him to show them, or Indifference,
which amounts to the same thing. 1
often wonder why a sight of his broth

single band of beige and brown wooden
braid. Worn with it was a simple
jacket bodice that was a convincing
denial of the frequently made asser-
ton that novelty was impossible in
jackets, unless the garment or Access

sides were fitted and it's front was
slashed as indicated, a handsome jabot
of white lace peeping out here and
there. Braid, buttons and lace frills
the sleeves, and a full frill
OF lace ornamented the high collar.
Black and white is a combination
that appears each season with a look
OF novelty, and this year we are doing
1t more desperately than ever. Black
cloth and satin skirts for street or re-
cept1on wear are already shown with
w or three frills of white at the hem.
The satin skirt had the frills of black,
with the heading of each frill under a
core of white. 1t looked as if a petit
coat had become loose. but it is con-
sldered just right. The black
cloth skirt was lined with
white watered silk and had
three little frills of white silk on
the outside of the skirt at the hem.
Piping with white satin on black cloth
or satin, and making black grenadine
weaves over white silk, are some of
the newer ways of showing favor for
black and white.

the Driver.
A bishops coachman must not swear,
especially when he is on the box and
the bishop inside, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. There is a certain place in
Spain called Corrales and it is in the
province and diocese of Zamora, and
the bishop of Zamora recently went in
his coach and four (but they were
mules) to hold a confirmation at Cor
rales. When the children of the do
cese were duly confirmed the mules,
being confirmed already in stubborn
ness and original sin, refused to start
and backed the carriage, with the bish-
OPP inside it, against the c%hurchyard
gate, thereby making a breach in the
sanctuary of the c%hurchyard wall. AT
this point the coachman is reported to
have uttered one Of those %thulderous
Spanish curses in which the language
Of Spain is so infinitely superior to
the language of France, and which
even a bishop must feel has the dig
nifty of power. Unfortunately for him
self the mayor of Corrales, Sig. Tome.
had just taken leave of the bishop and
was standing by the carriage when the
word reached him. He sprang forward
and fined the coachman four pesetas on
the spot for blasphemy and %profana-
ton, for in Spain the mayor carries
the court with him wherever he goes.
The bishop also got out and dismissed
the blasphemer on the spot; then the
mayor got on the box and himself drove
monsiegneur back to his episcopal res
idence. The confirmation has ever
since been known by a title which may
be freely translated the blue blazes con-
firmation of Corrales.

stock. He declared that the senate
had another stencil O. its hands, and
that instead of pursuing Chapman it
should go after the sugar trust

disclose the facts as to senators. The
resolution was referred to the judlc-
