Philosophy of this kind is based upon
gross ignorance. The fact is, that there is
no necessity for the severe pangs under
gone by the average woman. If a woman
is strong and healthy in a woinanly way,
motherhood means to her but little suffer-
ing The trouble lies in the fact that the
majority of women suffer from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
ganism and are untitled for motherhood.
This can always be remedied. DR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is sure, speedy and
permanent cure for all disorders of this
description. II acts directly on the delicate
and important organs concerned, making
them healthy, strong, vigorous, virile and
elastic. 1t banishes the indisp9sitions of

II does not lie In the painters fancy to
imagine a prettier picture than that OF a
young girl, with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
OF happy dreamiand. The mind of happy
maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror,
which, when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
sions of waking hours. If those impress
sions are pleasant and painless n happy,
she will smile in her sleep. If the impress
sions are those of a suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism Is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines Of suffering and de-
spondency. Maladies Of this. nature unfit a
woman for joyous maidenhood and for ca
pable motherhood. They incapacitate her
to bear the burdens of life in any sphere
Of action. Household, martial and social
duties alike are a burden to the woman who
is constantly suffering from headaches,
b~ackaches, dragging sensations and weak
ening drains. DR.. Pierce's FaVorite Pre-
scription positively, completely, unfail-
ingly cures troubles Of this nature. It
iruparts health, strength, vigor to the dis
tinctly womanly organs. II fits for care
free, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood
and capable motherhood.
II have a little step-daughter who had st.
Vitus's Dance, which your medicine cured"

Va. Il spent about twenty dollars for doctors
bills and medicine, and It did not do the child
one cents worth OF good. We commenced giving
Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Golden
Medical Discovery and used three bottles Of
each, which cost only six dollars. Now the child
is running around every where and is just as
healthy as ever"

just as the train was pulling out of

that the men were armed, or they
would have CHANGED a shut at them,
but they stopped the train to invest :

the blind baggage. Ihey were routed
out and the train went on. Sunday
night as the train pulled into the sta
ton at Stems Pass the guards saw an
other nan making for the engine.
He was ordered to halt. but did not.
The guard had been reading the war
news, and so "1red a shot across the
strangers bows" to stop him. The
stranger Immediately "hove to-" and
the train passed N. Afterwards it
it was found there were a couple more

Deming has organized a body OF
home guards and S. Lindauer has at
his own expense, ordered uniforms for
them. Money was raised to purchase
arms for them, but before a sufficient
amount was collected Mr.. Lindauer
and A. j. Clark took the matter into
their own hands and ordered twenty
five 800 Winchesters for the use OF
the Guards. The officers have pur-
chased their own arms and each n
has a fine sword. Saturday night the
company was drilling, Captain Leiiier
in command and Lieutenant Penning-
ton on the faux, both armed with
their new swords. Lieutenant Pen
nington had his at carry when the
captain gave the order ''fours right
| No one could tell just how it hap

the lieutenant or the private by whose
side he was walking, was left handed,
and instead Of turning to the right
turned to the left, and the point of

private In the cheek, cutting a cash
about three inches long. The private
thought a shell from Cardenas had ex'
ploded 10 his face, and he yelled that
he was killed. Captain LETTER never
