Blew OF the Ely.

II was once speaking at n temperance
meeting i'll Green Bay" says ex-Gov-
ernOr Peck of Milwaukee, land in the
course of my remarks looked about for
some water. a mug had been placed be-
side me, and how it could have happen
ed at u Temperance convention do not
know, but it was beer mug filled with
water. Well, it was n warm day and
where there is convention food spread
out on warm day there are likely to
be flies.
"There were flies, and one had light
cd trustingly ON the surface of the wa
ter in that mug. l saw him as lifted
it, and did the most natural and hu-
name thing could think of-blew him
off the water. Well, they cheered for
five minutes. And to this day suppose
you can't persuade a Green Bay man
that anybody from Milwaukee can drink
a glass of water, even at a temperance
convention, without first blowing off
the foam

Bismarks memoirs are expected to
appear before Christmas. They will
afford the Fatherland a kind of holi-
day reading it does not often get, and
interest in them will reach around the
circle of the world. Since Napoleon's S
there has been no other career so
stupendous, and Bismark's qualifica-
tions to be his own historian moult no
feather beside those of Caesar. In the
way of memoirs it will be the book of
the century, perhaps of many centur-
les, portraying the life and deeds of
the greatest kingmaker in history. He
is giant figure in the story of the
Fatherland, and the near vision of him
which his memoirs will present is in
no way likely to diminish the majesty
of his proportions.

OF all the specialists in the world, there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of women's
diseases as DIR. X. " Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
clans, he has prescribed, i'll the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women DR.
Pierce is pre-emiuently a sympathetic ply
sician. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of wofiians work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, SO long as that care required the
repugnant examinations and local
treatments F" insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed remedy now known as DR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious, "local
treatment" II imparts health, strength
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifehood and mother
hood.

The Knights of Pythias are having
troubles of their own. Owing to such
poor financial showing, somebody
gave the facts out to the press and now
there is a still hunt going on for the
guilty party. The Grand Lodge is
mad and says it will expel the guilty
member who told secrets out of meet
ing. The Supreme Lodge is in a poor
financial condition, having less than
$4,000 on hand and this was what
caused the criticism. It's poor lodge
