treated her steadily for q year without doing
her any good. In fact, it seemed that she
was continually becoming worse. He finally
gave up the case as hopeless, and advised
us to get DR.. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale

only thing that would benefit her.

and found that their use helped her con.
s~iderably. She kept on taking them till she
used about a dozen boxes, with the result
that she was entirely well, and since then

The o-entlewoman Farmer.

-4--0 0~~~ SMS4
Gentlemen farmers have been favor
ties in fiction and picturesque charac.
ters in real life for generations The
gentlewoman farmer is a newer species
and is thus described in the New York
Commercial Advertiser: She is neither
as hospitable nor as exclusive as her
masculine counterpart. She does not
raise big vegetables, mammoth flowers
or blooded stock for her own delight or
the %edifcation Of her friends. She is
extremely practical The basis Of all
her arguments is necessity. She has
gone into farming to. earn a living, or
even more than a living, and If she
charges You 8 cents a quart for milk
you can buy in town for 6 cents she
will politely but firmly tell you that
her cows are Of finer breed than those
which supply milk for ordinary city
milk stores and that fresh cut clover
costs more than bran and straw as fodder.
You meakly admit the truth of. these
arguments, and when your bill is sent
on crested, cream tinted paper-you
think Of the ,aristocratio lineage Of those
cows and pay without a murmur.

and he was unmislakably a person Of
Importance. He was telling as I came
in of how he stopped a lynching some
where in the south. The man who was
to be lynched, he said, was confined in
the county Jail under guard, but the
sheriff doubted his ability to protect
him. The judge mounted his horse and
rode out to meet the mob.
Hello, boys" he said as he met the
vanguard. What you going to dol"
Going to string him upl' somebody
yelled
The judge smiled. His smile broad
ened. He seemed to attempt to conceal
his mirth, and then he burst into a
laugh. Tho mob stopped, surprised.
well, boys" said the judge, still
chuckling, ''go on. The jail's just
around that corner, and it's guarded by
old Confederate soldiers. You know
how we'll they shoot, and they'll fire
just as soon rs you turn that corner. I
should say that 80 or, say, IS Of you
will be killed. But there's n man
among you who won't be killed, for he
won't turn the corner. He's been doing
a heap Of talking, too, about this lynch
ing. He's been mighty worked up about
it. His name is Jones, and he's an un-
dertaker. He's stirred up this lynching
sentiment. He's terribly excited, but he
won't be shot"
Here the judge laughed again.
"Jones is a good fellow, boys. That
prisoner in the Jail will be hanged de-
Gently by the sheriff if you let him
alone, but Jones is mighty worked up
about it He's afraid to wait. Times
precious to Jones and business is dull"
The judge turned his horse.
SWELL, gooi night, boys he said.
If you want to go on around the cor
ner and help out Jones business scheme,
60 on. It's kind Of you, but you're q lot
of blanked fools" f
And there was no lynching.

While in the neighborhood Of Rugby,
Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr.. Dennis
Hopkins, q prominent farmer of Bartho.
lomew County, had been the subject Of q
remarkable transformation. The reporter
decided to investigate and learn the par.
ticulars. He was driven to Mr.. Hopkins
splendid country home, where he had an
regarding the illness ofhis only daughter.
"You have been correctly informed, " said
Mr.. Hopkins, "for Clara has indeed had o
severe siege. She tried DR.. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines together that she
ever took. A few boxes of that medicine
accomplished the cure of q case in a few
months which had bsf1ed physicians for
years.
"About three years ago her health began
to fail. The doctor who attended her said this
was caused by weak digestion. This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by neu-
ralgic troubles, which at first was located in
the nerves about the heart. Of course this
was q dangerous location for any such trouble,
and she rapidly grew worse, notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till q year ago last November, at
which time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed.
"The neuralgia became gradually worse,
and finally she was n confirmed victim to it.
NERVOUS prostration set in, and she was
coon all run down. Her blood was impure

HUMoR OF THE HOUR.

A short time ago an old darby who
had been a ~frequenter Of the hastings
court for years was before that court as
q prisoner. Hit face was as serious as
# he knew that tho sentence of death
was to be pronounced upon him. When
the evidence was given In, the judge
questioned him as follows:
cold man, have you q lawyer"
With a look Of abjectpity on his face
and a silent plea for mercy depicted in
his countenance and just such as had
often moved his old master to forgive
ness when he had been caught In some
mischief he said:
"Nor, sub. I amt got no lawyer,
cause I didn't hab no money for to git q
lawyer wild"
"Well, what have you got to say for
yourself?'' asked the Judge.
"Iain't got nothin to say, sub, 'cep'n
to jes' throw myself on the ig'nunce O.

A NEW N GOWN.

vyles Of sleeves-the long sleeves made
Of lace or other transparent fabric, the
three-quarters length, finished at the
elbow with a lace frill, and the short
sleeve, which is usually a double puff
Of chiffon OF tulle. A feature Of the
evening gowns is the gorgeous coloring.
If the gown is white or Of some deli
cate tint, then a strong touch Of color
appears in the trimmings. Combining
three shades of one color is q popular
finish, in instance Of which may be cited
q pink silk gown draped with white net
and trimmed with velvet ribbons repre-.
senting three shades Of red. Three
shades Of blue are also effectively used
IN white gowns. Violet is employed
with blue, and there are other unique
combinations which require cart in the
selection Of shades to insure harmony.
Net leads in materials for evening
gowns and is made up over silk or satin.
Tulle and chiffon continue fashionable
and are similarly employed. Transparent
materials r in high favor, and the
shops provide lace and net skirts already
shaped and finished for use. Ingenious
women find these pattern affairs exceed
ingly convenient, for combined with
old silk and satin dresses an elegant
gown is achieved without too great ex-
pense. Sometimes the lace is used only
on the bodice and sleeves. A successful
evening gown in yellow brocade may
be mentioned as an example. The low
bodice is draped with jeweled chiffon,
meeting the sash in the center Of the
front and crossing at the back.
Sashes are worn on evening gowns;
also on other house dresses. They are
made Of chiffon, net, tulle and fancy
ribbon, being often finished with a mar.
row frill Of lace all around the edge.
Marrow rufaes Of net edged with ribbon
afford a favorite trimming for gowns Of
transparent materials. Colored velvet
ribbons furnish another fashionable
style Of decoration.
The element of smartness in all house
gowns is the details of finish and trim
