Jest a wonan's story.

jest wonan's story.
Not strange because 1t happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, bot just a story Of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, of
Peru, Indiana, carried burden OF pain.
Night and day, without respite, she sol
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot of woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she is well to-day IS a miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble rcquires no descrip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says:
"For eighteen years l suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
II was broken down piece Of human
ity; a shadow Of woman.
"My brain was tortured unti1 could re-
member bot little. | could not sleep or eat
and was reduced in weight to mere skele-
ton. What little did eat could not be d.
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.
"My skin was muddy, my eyes were
heavy. Twas dizzy aft the time and to-
tally unfit for even ordinary heusework.
:" Doctors prescribed for me without avail.
Medicine was recommended and taken In
quantity but it did no good.
Iine and time again was at the brink

worse, and dark indeed was the day before
my delverance.
A friend of mine told me about DR.. vii.

they had accomplished for Others in NV

"Itwas the first glimpse of the sun of han.
piness through the dark c1ouds of miserv.

continued to take them until was well

They liberated me from the most terrible

II recommend them to my friends, and I
do not hesitate to say to every suffering
woman IN the world that DR.. Williams

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are specific for all forms of weakness.
The blood : vitalized and becomes prep

cuffs which fell over the hand in very
slovenly manner. Like the Chinaman, the
Egyptian uses the long sleeves as refuge
for the hands when the wearer is in the
presence of a person of superior rank.
The chick wore a fine green turban mys-
teriousy wound around his perspiring
head This turban marked the man as a
descendant of Mohammed; told the story
Of his visit 10 Mecca; and that he belong
ed to one Of the orders of dervishes.
Whether it was the color of the turban,
its texture, OF the style of wearing 1t
that told all this to the Initiated l could
not learn.
The chick wears a short curling beard,
sparsely sprinkled with gray. His beady,
black eyes look out upon the world from
under heavy lids, which seldom lift them
selves when the chick is talking. This
habit is common one with Bedouins and
all others who live much in the strong
light of the sun.
Chick FL Sadat is typical Turk with a
sensual face, thick lips and heavy Jaws.
He was very gracious to US when it had
been explained that we had not come to
see him out of idle curiosity, but because
we really wished to meet the man in
whose veins courses the blood of the
Prophet.
He told our trlend 10 snow us the whole
place and asked US to come another day
to visit his harem, as the ladies were not
al home then. We went ramidam and had
a most interesting visit
Some of the skeptical Europeans living
in Cairo seem to doubt whether the chicks
ancestry can be traced directly back to
Mohammed, but as an unprejudiced obser
yer, / am inclined to think his claim is
genuine, and that he is really a lneal
descendant of the man who gave Islamism
to the world.
The Egyptians themselves recognize him
as the head of this branch of the house
The Sultan and three Khedives have dec
GRATED him, and 1t is said that the rank
and file of the people look upon him with
more awe and reverence than they bestow
upon the occupant of the Khedivial throne
They are certainly afraid Of him. for
upon two occasions he has been accused
OF murder by the foreigners, but no Arab
can be found 10 testify against him. He
is man of violent and ungovernable
temper, and whoever comes within his
reach when he is In rage must suffer
II is needless 10 say that all who know
him give him a wide berth when he IS

ALASKAN INDIAN WOMEN.
They Have Artistic Ability Despit
Their ToiIsOme Liyes.

They Have Artistic Ability Despite
Their TOiIsOme Lives.
Writing of the "Indian Women of
Alaska and Their Handiwork," in the
Woman's Home Companion, Olive Nc
Gregor says: THE huge expression
less face of an Alaska Indian woman
shows but little evidence of any anb-
ton or ability to perform even the sim
plest features of domestic art, and yet
the skillful and artistic results OF the
handiwork of these untutored aborig-
ines much sought after by the tour
lists who visit their villages during the
summer. Moreover, though the wo-
men are all fat and laZylooking, their
lives are not uninterrupted ease, not
withstanding that their needs are few.
Abundance of fuel Is all about them,
and food. which with them is synony-
nous with fish, swimS almost to their
doors. But the procuring as well as the
preparing of this food Is all accom-
plished by the women. During the
summer they leave the villages and
towns for the islands In less frequented
water. where they camp for weeks at
time, catching and curing the fish for
winter use. while the men lazily watch
them, or paddle the canoe. or otheFss
wise amuse themselves.
IF an Indians wife Is in III health
or too old to work, he marr1es another
younger wife, usually a relative Of the
first one, who Is expected to provide
the food, while the first wife cares for
. nd irh
ries furnishing almost the only food OF
these people, the women have little
scope or ambition for developing culin-
ary art, but in matters of personal
adornment they take keen delight. Dur
ing the long, dark winter they weave
beautiful blankets and baskets for their
own use and to sell. The blankets are
made from the strong rough wool Of
the wild mountain sheep. Yet some Of
these are as soft as silk, and in beauty
of coloring and intricacy Of design rival
the Oriental rugs and hanging. 1t
usually takes a woman six months to
complete one blanket but many Of
them sell for prices ranging from fifty
to two hundred dollars. The much
sought-after genuine Chilkat blanket
IS about four feet long and two and one
half feet wide at each end, but as one
side Is pointed, the center is a foot
wider than the ends, and on this side Is
ornamented with a ten-inch fringe.
These are worn in the dance. thrown
around the shoulders, with the pointed
frInged side hanging down. The de-
sign is grotesque, consisting Of conven-
tionalized faces Of men and animals
In pale green, outlined with black on a
white ground. Sometimes dull blue
takes the place Of the pale green. A
popularity which stamps theb genu-
ineness is a fine thread or shaving Of
deerskin in the center Of each hard
twisted strand Of wild sleeps wool
yarn, OF which they are made, render.
Ing them almost indestructible."
