CALL A SPADE A SPADE. i"
Some People too Modest COnde in their Physician Woman
Cured Of Serious Disease by Certain Method, the Only
Drawback Of which was, it Made Her Too Fat"
From The Evening Meas. Detroit, MTch.

The doctor came in haste and found his
patient again in great agony from a splitting
headache. 1t was his fifth call on the same
patient, and each time to treat the same
trouble. With q suspicion that his diagno-
sis was incorrect and that he was treating a
symptom and not the disease, he said to her
" Madam, it is useless for to visit you
again. You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which IL is necessary | should
know. The patient finally acknowledged
that through false modesty, she had not
suffered from female weakness but had kept
it from hinl-tOO modest to speak. The old
doctor was disguised at such prud1shncss,
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily
and quickly.
The following case differs from the above.
only in the fact that the patient Is not afraid
TO speak, and TO call a spade spade"
"Words fail to describe the suffering l
endured before I used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, said Mrs. Alexander
B. Clark, of AT Michigan Avenue, Detroit,
Mich. 'EFor five years I have suffered
my room for months at a time. have
undergone two operations for this trouble at
the hospital, and seemed to grow worse
instead of better. l had the best doctors and
the best nursing, but for nearly five years 1
was not free for one single day from the
most fearful headaches and intense witch
ing pains in my neck and shoulders.
" You would scarcely believe, to look at
me now, that for about three days every
week for nearly six years, had to stay IN
bed. Those headaches would come on me
every week regularly. First l would notice
black spots before my eyes, and then /
would go blind, and send for the doctor.
E' AT first they would treat me for indiges-
ton and dyspepsia, then finally acknowl-
edge that something else caused the trouble.

Newton, Jan. 22.-William Repetto, a
Santa F'e empIoye, today appeared be

for his own good and also his family S

DANA'S CHINA SALE.
Porcelain Collection of Dead Editor to
Be offered at Auction.

New York, Jan. 22-The art collec-
lions of Charles A. Dana will be sold at
auction next month.
Mr.. Dana's chief hobby was the col
lection and study of oriental pOrcelains,
and it is generally conceded by cOnnOis-
seurs that the 900 or 700 objects which
he brought together form one of the
two finest private collections in Amer
lea.
The reason of the sale is that no
member of Mr.. Dana's family is so sit
uated as to give the articles the proper
care.

While Lieutenant Hobson Jared bet.

the stout-hearted men who shared
with him the perils Of his expedition,
he managed TO escape to land, still
che nature Of the enterprise upon
which he volunteered stands out with
such unique prominence on account
Of it's peculiar dangers that he 10
clearly entitled TO the hero's laurel.
When Lieutenant Hobson undertook
to enter the narrow waters Of the har-
Dor at Santiago de Cuba for the pur-
pose Of accomplishing his bold design,
he had every reason 70 believe that
whatever his success might be in his
efforts TO close up the channel he
would never be permitted to return
again TO his comrades Of the squadron.
He went with the spirit Of the martyr
TO sacrifice himself at duty's call upon
the altar Of his country's cause. Let
pessimists who bewail the degenerate
eivilization Of the. nineteenth century
contemplate the spectacle Of this
intrepid officer in sinking his own
vessel under the .frowning shadow Of

In Spartan annals than the exhibition
Of unruffled fearlessness presented
by Lieutenant Hobson in the face OF
circumstances which might have awed
