THE RETORT HOSTILE.
Capital Lobbyists Wife WOrsted I'm a
Short But Sharp Tilt.

Short But Sharp Tilt.
At a recent Washington reception
there was a short but sharp inter
change of courtesies between the
wealthy wife Of an ex-cOngressnan and
the wife of far from rich bureau chief
1t was a crowded afternoon affair, and
the eX-congressman's wife was assist
ing the hostess in receiving guests,
When the wife of the bureau official
was presented, the hostess said to the
woman of the receiving party: "You
know Mrs. Blank, don't you?" Ger
tainly," said the eX-congressman' s
wife, II would know her anywhere by
that pink dress" The cheeks of the
bureau officials wife was suffused with
a rosy glow, but she turned on her tor
mentor and said: "Proba bly, if my hus-
band had been mixed up in as many
questionable transactions as yours
madam, it would not be necessary fo1
me to wear my pink reception dress sc
often as to cause comment"
Every word rang out clear and SHARP
upon the ears Of the astonished guests
Inasmuch as there had been frequent
criticism of the ex-congressman for his
connection with questionable lobby
transactions, the force of the bureau
officials wife's re1ort can readily be
ina gined

MISS Willard was probably the best

women all over the world.

on "French Women" will be complet-
ed In this number. The last of the
series is ''In Old Age" and is an ex-

picture of the French woman past
middle life.
Demorest's has recently started a
department especially for men. The
title, Things Men Want To Know"
explains the purpose Of the series of
/ articles. 1t not only tells men what
to wear and how to wearit, but gives
all the latest fals and fancies OF the
masculine social world. 1t tells a
man how to carry his sweetheart

him.
Nearly every man has it in his power to
live to green old age like the great states
man Of England. It is simply a matter of
a little dailysthought and regard for health.
If, when a man feels that he is little out
of sorts, he will resort to the right remedy,
he will never have to submit to the more
serious ills of life. Most men, when they
have headache, feel drowsy during the
day and are restless during the night and
find their appetite falling off, pay little or
no heed to these warnings. The inevitable
result is some dangerous and possibly fatal
malady. The doctor may call it consunp-
ton, malaria or biliousness, or perhaps
some blood or skin disease 1t makes but
little difference. These troubles all have
their inception in the same cause e i'm
proper and insufficient nourishment. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery corrects
that cause. 1t makes the appetite keen
and hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver
active and the blood pure and rich. 1t is
the great blood-maker and hesh-builder.
It facilitates the assimilation of the life
giving elements of the food, filling the
blood with the nutriment that makes new
and healthy flesh and nerve tissue. Med1-
cine dealers sell it.
Last summer" writes Miss Laura Piersel,
of East Bethlehem, Washington Co., Pa, :" was
going into consumption DR.. Plerce's Golden
Medical Discovery completely cured me-"
A man or woman who neglects constipa-
ton suffers from slow poisoning. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
One little "Pel1et" is a gentle laxative,
and two mild cathartic.

banquet to be held the latter part of
May. The officers of the association are
as follows: Leroy Kramer, president;
Paul Brown, first vice president: Garland
Terrell, second vice president; Anna Ma
son, third vice president; Sadie Caldwell,
secretary. and J. Elmer Reese, treasurer.
1t is the intention of these officers to
make this years banquet the largest ban
quet that has ever been held under the
auspices of the association. While these
officers have secured lower rate per plate
for the coming feast than has heretofore
been obtained by the association they
have done so without in the least lower
ing the quality of the spread. The great
est efforts are being put forth on the en-
tertainment which will be furnished. Mu-
sic of the highest grade, speeches and
toasts of the wittiest turn are to be
secured, and many surprises for the
amusement and entertainment of the
guests are being planned. One of the
greatest departures viii be in the com
mencement Of the banquet proper at 800
p. m. instead of 1000 p m, which will
insure plenty of time for the enjoyment
of the toasts and viii give those desiring
to return home from the banquet earlier
in the evening an opportunity to do so.

Last Day of Peace to be Fully and
Duly Recorded by This Paper.

n
Duly Recorded by This Paper
The next midnight may and probably
will end the last day of peace between
this country and Spain. If peace is to
continue, tomorrow morning will probab-
ly bring the news of the essential back
down of Spain.
Tomorrow morning the Eagle will issue,
bringing to its readers the climax of the
thrilling news of the last week, the de-
parture of ministers. the spread of sails of
our fleet, the defensive maneuvers of the
Spanish navy, almost certain public riots
in Havana; and tremendous popular dem
onstrations peculiar TO the Latin Sum
days of Spain during times of unrest; per-
haps the first steps of Spanish revolution;
if not that, then absolute certainty of a
war declaration in Washington. Doubts,
questions and Indebtedness will vanish
and the trend of events for the week
following will stand markedly public.
The paper will be delivered to all reg
ular subscribers as usual.
