OUR CHINESE TRADE.
HOW AMERICAN ENTERPRISE WILL
AWAKEN sLuMBERiNe INDUSTRIES.

what VIII Happen when the Hnnkow

| wOnderfuI valley of the Yang-tse-
KiRng-Great Coal Deposits There.
The building OF an American railroad
h China and the development of the won
derful valley Of the Yang tse. Kiang by
our capitalists will soon make us much
more familiar with this part of the orient
Than we have beon. In fact, we have
known little or nothing about It as ma
tion.
But interest in the far east is beginning
to grow. In short time the average
American citizen In Podunk or Billville
will know far more about the orient than
he does now. He will have a brother or n
friend or an uncle out there or he will
own fow shares of stock in some Chinese
developing company American engineers
will bo driving locomotives along tho
banks Of the YanR-tse- Kiang and Ameri.
can skippors will DO sailing up its waters.
1t will not be long before Americans
will be writing magazine articles and
books about this great valley. 1t is pic.
turesque river, this long named stream.
Many Of the scenes along its course are
very unfamiliar 60 our Cyes. Here, for
instance, is an island which rises out of
the middle of the river not far below Han

stations Of the new American road On
this island is a temple which crowns its
apex Below the temple is the home of

trader will be selling that priest phono.

also unenterprising 1t has been said that
the Chinese are the most perfect human
machines In the world. They can be
taught to do almost anything, but they
cannot seem to do things on their own
hook. The immense deposits of coal in
China they have merely pecked at from
the surface for centuries.
American mining engineers will teach
them how TO sink shafts and cut drifts.
Then, instead Of the meagor coal supply

slow junks, IL will be carried down In

NOMINATED AS A JOKE.
But Mrs. Abbott Made Lively Cam
paign nnd Was Elected.

Mrs. Merrie Hoover Abbott, whose cleo

county, Mich. was one of the minor sur
prises of the recent state contest, is one OF
the most brilliant women lawyers in the
country, and II the present effort to
count her out" does not succeed she will
doubtless make good record In the office
Mrs. Abbott's nomination by tho Silver
Democrats of Ogemaw county was some
thing Of joke. The county had previous
ly been strongly Republican, and the Sill

of their candidates. But Mrs. Abbott did
not intend TO be defeated II she could help

but she conducted IL personally, speaking
in all the public places throughout the
county, and no amount of bad weather or
wretched roads could prevent her filling

she added TO IL some planks Of her own,
one Of which was conservatism on the
woman's suffrage question. AS a public
speaker she was bright, witty and force
full, controlling her audiences entirely by
her natural eloquence and sympathetic
voice.
Mrs. Abbott is just old enough to vote,
Her parents were pioneer residents Of
Clinton county, Mich, and lived at St.

AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN.

If a woman is not attractive, there Is
something wrong. Any woman can be
attractive IL she will make the effort.
1t isn't altogether question OF beauty.
It's largely a matter Of health. The
bloom and glow of health go far toward
bringing beauty. A clear skin, bright
eyes, red lips and the Vivacity which
bodily good feeling brings, will make
even homely woman handsome.
Half of the women one meets are semi
invalids. Failure to heed the warnings
of outraged nature-failure to give the
help needed by the most delicate and SEN
sitive organs-little troubles ignored un-
til they have become dominant-these
things bring about the sunken, circled
eyes, the hollow cheeks, the pale and sal
low skin, the flabby, strengthless flesh,
which characterize the appearance Of the
woman who suffers from female weak
ness"
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of suffering women. 1t

peculiar to them. II eradicates the dis
ease, stops the dragging, life-sapping
drain, and In perfectly rational, natural
way, builds up the wasted strength. 1t
