 .It is really very strange, said liar old "how long person may look at 3 thing without seeing it.

 eOh, they're not worth it, Haroldl' replied the little fair haired girl who lay ourled up ill the big library arm- chair T was only thinking what queer old things eggs are sometimes,
 'tVery queer indeed, especially if they're old, J assented Harold gravely.
 "At that birthday party Cousin Eva gave last Wednesday-you couldn't go, you know, because your arm had been hurt playing football-there were some of the queerest acting eggs you ever saw. You should have seen how they be- haved. said Alice.
 ''But I never saw eggs act at all, ' cried Harold. ssYou really surprise me, Alice. Of all the tranquil, harmless, inoffensive, quiet sort of living crea- lures ever came across, eggs break the record. ?
 But these weren't living they were boiled, said Alice "I don't think that explains matters, began Harold, but Alice went on unmindful of the inter- Euption. 'fWhen we had our boiled eggs, Cousin Edith took two of them, and then she told us the story about Columbus and his egg Columbus said he could discover America, you know, and they said he couldn't and that you might as we'll try to make an egg stand up on end. Columbus said that was nothing; he could do it, and he smashed his egg right down so 1t broke in the

 If a woman is asked, especially if l6 Ss with an accent of disapprobation, why sha follows the fashion in the matter of cloth ing, she will answer because she "wants to look like other people. If she is asked why she gives so much attention and thought to the selection and trimming of her gowns instead of buying and wearing whatever 1t Is the easiest to come by, she will say because she doesn't want to look like everybody else" To the masculine mind this Is beautiful example of wom- ans illogical reasoning, but the two an- swers are really rot at all incompatible. A woman wants to look like other people in respect of not being shabby or out of date or unpleasantly conspicuous by reason of the oddity of her attire, but she also wants her costume to be stamped with her own Individuality, so that it will belong obviously to her and to no one else. Any one who has ever been in large clothing establishment where many lay figures are standing about dressed in more or less elaborate gowns must have noticed what an air of sameness these gowns have, even when they are of different qualities and mataTtale.

The most critical period in a woman's life may be properly called Blossoming Time. It is the period when she blossoms from girlhood into womanhood.
 At this momentous time the best nedi- cine for woman to take is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly up- on the delicate and important organs that are to bear tue burdens of wifehood and motherhood. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It correets all Irregularities and disp1acements and stops exhausting drains. Taken during the pe- riod of expectaut maternity, 1t banishes the usual annoyances and makes baby's coming easy and almost painless. It in- sures the newcomers health and an ample supply of nourishment. It transforms weak, sick1y, nervous, complaining woe men into happy, healthy wives. Thou sands of women have told over their own signatures, the story of the marvellous merits of this great medicine An hon. est dealer will not try to persuade you to take something different from what you ask for, for the sake of few pennies ad- ded profit.
 Mrs. Anna U1rich, of Elm Creek, Buffalo O., Neb., writes 'I was under doctors care for two years with uterine disease. I was so weak that could sit up in bed only few mo vorite Prescription and when had taken one half dozen bottles was up and going wherever I pleased and have been very strong ever since that was two years and half ago"

issued and Constable Learn seized four
boxes. supposing one Of them to contain the
''Trilby' painting, but not knowing whether
any Of them did. The four boxes were
all he could lay hands on.
Now comes Mrs. Lincoln with a mandamus
suit against the constable to compel him
to tell what he has done with the boxes.
She asserts a personal claim to them. say
ing their contents are pictures belonging
to herself. She Is the wife Of Lincoln. In
the rather long petition filed with the clerk
OF the district court yesterday afternoon she
goes over the partnership arrangement en-
tered into by her husband and Morris and
the subleasing Of the "Trilby" exhibit. Ac-
cording to information coming to her the
d~if1culty between the exposition and the
Moorish Village has been settled, she says,
and, at any rate. the amount due on "Tril-
by" was only 1852. She fears that Learn
has her pictures in some place where they
may become damaged. The purpose OF the
mandamus suit. she states, is to enable her
to replevin the four boxes.
At the time the boxes were seized the
attorney for the Moorish Village said the
picture OF "Trilby'' was already hundreds
Of miles away from the city.

Effort to Reimburse Settlers for
Money Unjustly Collected.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 2S.-(Special.) y
Senator Warren, who will leave here to-
morrow for Washington, says that although
the session Of congress will be short and
will probably be occupied almost entirely In
considering appropriation bills, an earnest
effort will be made to leglsla-
tion in reference to a number Of matters
Of direct benefit to Wyoming. One of these
Is the reimbursement of the state for q con-
siderable sum Of money expended during
territorial days by Wyoming in protecting
and caring for the Yellowstone National
park. The bill appropriating the money to
the state was passed by the senate during
the last session and awaits the action Of
the house.
An effort will be made to secure the pas
sage at the coming session Of the bill In
troduced by Senator Warren providing for
~refunding to settlers fees paid for filings
under the desert land act, where the entry
men were unable to prove up and secure
the land. The passage Of this measure,
which will eventually be consummated, will
return many thousands Of dollars to west
ern people, not only In Wyoming but In
most of the western states.
Ar effort will also be made to secure legls-
lation on the lines recommended by the
recent irrigation congress held In this city,
in reference to building reservoirs and the
establishment Of a division OF irrigation In
the bureau Of agriculture.

In the suit Of Fred T.. Cummins, the seat

diction of the district court.
Because Of the indisposition OF Judge sia-

van murder case was set for yesterday, but
had to go over. .
The trial Of the consolidated contempt
case Of the exposition directors was not re-
sumed by Judge Scott yesterday morning on
account Of T. J. Mahoney being engaged IN q
suit in the federal court. 1t may be tnat
the matter will have to be continued for sew
eral days.
Judge Dickinson has allowed Mathewson
T. Patrick q judgment for $5,378.50 against
Harry B.. milford and Georglana Milford
on a note, and the court also sustained the
attachment proceedings against property OF
the defendants in Washington Hill and the
g~arnishments proceedings Of January last.
A motion to Quash the information has
been filed In the John Kerr murder case. Its
grounds are that the record fails to show
that Kerr had had any preliminary exam
nation. and that the complaint certified to
by Justice Of the Peace Dorsey Houck does
| not charge the crime Of murder in the first
| degree and fails to allege intent on the part
OF Kerr to take the life OF his father-in-law,

STORIES FROM THE DePOTS
Railroads Clearing Away the Snow
and Closing in for Winter-Switch-
men Scare Some WOrkmen.

The quantity Of snow which fell during
the late storm can In a measure be esti-
mated by the statement that In cleaning 1t
from the tracks at the Burlington and
Union Pacific depots fiat cars were used on
which to haul the surplus away. A force
Of men was engaged in this work yester-
day. The Burlington depot has been pro-
tected from the wintry blast by the addition
Of new storm doors at all entrances from
the train shed.
The heavy snow fall has not deferred
work on the new Union Pacific depot to
any extent. The stonemasons are at work
in spite Of the snow and the general work
is proceeding with practically little inter-
ruption. Two or three men engaged in
wheeling stone to the masons at work on the
Union Pacific depot had a scare yesterday
morning which was largely In the nature
Of q Joke. They had their trucks between q
large stone pile and a sidetrack. They
,ould turn neither to right or left, and
here was not room enough between the
trucks and the track for a train to pass.
A switch engine CAM tearing down the
track, with a number Of yard men on the
foot board, and as 1t turned a curve in

! was under complete control, and stopped
some distance from those working at the
stone pile, but the activity shown by the
latter caused considerable amusement for
the onlookers.
The disposition Of some people to make
the whole world wait upon their move
ments was shown at the Burlington depot
yesterday. A mar was anxious to take
the Kansas City train, which was due to
leave. Oficer Fleming called to the train
men to wait a moment, and the prospective
passenger was directed to the train. He
had q companion who was not going away
and the two conversed while walking
lesiurely along the platform toward the
train. The passenger was not able to be
impressed with the fact that he was delay
ing the wheels Of progress until the con-
ductor gave the signal to start, whereupon
the passenger put himself in motion SUI
fciently to swing upon the rear end OF the
train as 1t pulled away.

Paulist Fathers. This IL distinctively an
American order. having been founded by
Father Hecker, seconded by Father Hewitt,
both converts to the Catholic faith and
both having been members OF the always
famous Brook Farm community, along with
Hawthorne, Dana. Greeley, Ripley and 9TH
ers OF that extraordinary group Of transcend
entalists. In the old residence Of the Mid
dlestons. a family whose history Is inter-
mingled with the whole history OF the region,
the Paullst Fathers have established the
College OF st. Thomas Aquinss. as the novi-
tiate and scholastic Of the order. They leased
the old manor house and several acres OF
ground OF the university, In which It stands,
Tor a period OF twenty-five years. The faith
ers have made several additions to the
manor house, but in perfect keeping with
the former architecture, with picturesque
angles, gables and dormer windows.
The Order Of Marists has leased tie old
Brooks mansion In Brookland, q suburb Of
Washington. adjacent to the university, and
from the original owners Of which the village
takes It's name. In the old days Of Mary
land the Brookses intermarried with the
Queens, another old family, and the two
families owned all that region. Here the
Marists have fixed their residence, adding
q spacious annex to the mansion. The
Marist college is under the control OF the
priests Of the Society Of st. Mary. and its
mission is to train students for the Marist
scholastics in theological science. Besides
the Brooks mansion with It's lovely grounds
the Marists have purchased ten acres in the
vicinity OF the university. upon which they
will erect additional buildings.
Most remarkable OF all these new institu-
lions is the monastery Of the friars Of the
Order Of st. Francis, which is now nearing
completion, and which Is situated upon an
eminence from which there is an entrance
view, reaching far away to the Blue Ridge
and II is about half a mile from the univer.
sity. It Is a building Of immense area, In the
form OF a cross, o beautiful chapel forming
the front OF the entire structure. Forty
acres OF land surrounding the monastery
have been purchased, many grape vines hav,
been planted. and here also the monks will
produce much Of the vegetable diet for theii
table. The Franclscans are much the strong
est Of all the Catholic orders, and, like tn,
Jesuits and other societies, are Independent
OF the church In their operations. Thi!
monastery will comprise the commissaria
and college of the Holy Land, and it's pur
pose Is to educate Its students for the Hol!
Land under the direction Of the Friar,
Minor Of St. Francis. The order is nearl,
700 years old.
Arrangements are now being made fo
the transfer to the university Of institution
connected with one or another Of these or
ders, and which are situated elsewhere.
