PRESCRIPTION

to be the greatest of all medicines for the
cure of diseases and disorders of the organs
distinctly feminine. 1t is the only prepara-
ton of its kind devised by regularly
graduated physician-an experienced and
skilled specialist in the diseases of women.
1t is safe medicine in any condition OF
the system. 1t contains no whisky, alco-
hol. opium or other narcotic, and therefore,
does not cause craving for stimulants. 1t
is sold by medicine dealers everywhere,
and any dealer who hasn't it cam get it.
Don't take substitute. No counterfeit is
as good as the genuine and the druggist
who says something else is 'just as good
as DR.. Pierce's" is either mistaken or is
trying to deceive ear for his own selfish
benefit. Such is not to be trusted.
He is trihing with your most priceless
possession-your health-Inaybe your life
itself See that you get what you ask for.

Reality.
He sought for fame
And found shining nut
Without kernel.
he sought for wealth
And found brilliant heap,
Which blinded him and weighed him down
So that he could walk straight no more
And went erratically
Where right and wrong held sway.
He sought for power
And found hard. high chair,
Wherein he sat
And cursed his awful luck,
While men. like puppets.
Bowed and fawned beneath him
But slid their troubles to his aching back.
He sought for love
And found full grown flower,
Fragrant and sweet and pure,
And every petal held grain of honey,
On which he feasted-
And the joy of simple life then held him lov
And lost him in oblivion.

The Stars.
The sun started out for journey far,
Round the world;
We will go. too. said each little star.
Round the world;
But the sun replied, "You stay at home
Or I'll burn out the eyes Of all who come
In my fiery ride round the world"
Then the starlets went to the friendly moon,
In the night,
And asked as she sat on her cloud girt throne,
In the night.
Let US journey with thee, for thy milder light
Will never burn out our eyes so bright.
And she took them. companions Of night.
Now welcome dear moon and you little stars,
In the night.
You know what dwells in these hearts Of ours,
In the night.
Come set the heavenly lamps aglow,
That may revel and Join below,
In the happy sports Of the night.

"The Touch of a Vanished Hand"
We sigh for the touch Of vanished hand
The hand OF a friend most dear,
Who has passed from our side to the shadowJ
land
But what Of the hand that is nears
To the living's touch is the soul inert
That weeps Ger the silent urn9
For the love that lives Is our hand alert
To make some sweet return9
Do we answer back in fretful tone.
When lifes duties press US sore?
Is our praise as full as if they were gone
And could hear our praise no more?
As the days go by, are our hands more swift
For a trihe beyond their share,
Than to grasp-for kindly helpful lift
The burden some one must bearG
We sign for the touch of a vanished hand,
And we think ourselves sincere;
But what OF the friends that about Us stand.
And the touch OF the hand that's here?

Life.

Silently, swiftly, one by one
We march down the aisles of time;
Musical murmur and mournful moan,
Plaintive pleading and tender tone.
Blend in living rhyme.
Hope and happiness. faith and fame,
All are swept long
Into future misty and gray,
Peopled with phantoms grim and gay,
Some with a curse and some with q song.
Lives that were full of happiness,
Others that teemed with sin,
shadowy phantoms Of bygone days
On a suffering soul turn full their gaze,
-. And we long for the might have been"
But the longing is vain, for the past Is dead.
And a passing present is all we know.
Futurity's riddle we may not read,
But the pains of the past. with its lust and
greed,
Should tell Us the way to go.
Prince and pauper peers in death,
Their ashes are blown where their feet once
trod;
Out Of the past with its veal and woe
Into the future Of doubt we go,
Christian and pagan to face one Godi

Don't Step on a Rat

Electric Rat and Roach Paste? It's easily
applied in cracks and crevices or spread

can arise from it's use, as it entirely con-
sumes all animal matter. Rats eat " and
out inside of two days the paste consumes
and dries up all Of the rat but the skin
and bones, so that there is nothing left
to smell.

HOG MARKET STRONG
Good Monday Supply and
Demand Active,
TOPS STILL AT $3.50
Cattle Market, Steady With
Scattering Supply.

Yesterday on the local hog market the
quotation was strong, with very fair
line Of offerings, and the trade active and
the tone and feeling good. Eight cars, or
parts Of cars. crossed the scales, and
there was also a fair run of local and
wagon stuff. This market was well up
as compared with all the other western
markets. Steady marked the bulk Of
them and this ruled for the most of the
business done at the main western re-
oeiving points. The Wichita market all
through the day was strong, and this too
with an expected heavy run of hogs.
There was no extra quality in except pos
slblY two loads. and the main portion
was Just fair The average weight was
227 pounds, and this was about the aver
age for all of last week. Prices paid for
hogs were stiff all along, and the Dold
Pocking company rushed over the scales
z strong line of fat butcher hogs, paying
the best top prices for them. The grade
Of hogs as received was not especially at
fractive but all Of them sold and sold
we'll with several more cars reported as
coming in late, some Of which were
weighed up soon after yarding and the
rest penned for trading today. AN the
eight large punches of car lot sales went
within a cent range, and three of them
at the top of $3.50. Two more went at
the next best price and all of them for
all they were worth. 1t was a good day
ali around. and all the sales recorded
were at good prices and the sellers well
satisfied. Everything in sight was read
fly taken and the other cars reported as
coming later were booked for sale and
will cross the scales this morning. as the
demand for them is good. and all fat
butcher hogs reaching this market will
be bought at the best prices which the
universal tone viii permit. Yesterday
was a very good day in every respect and
so far as strength and tone is concerned
1t more than held its own.

COTTON EXCITEMENT KEEPS UP
New York Closes Firm at a Net Gain
Of3Ia34 Points

New York, Oct 1T was "big day
on the cotton exchange" The first adj
vance in the price was matter OF q
point. and from start to finish the bull
faction was in control. Fridays queer
doings in the New Orleans market had
led the trade here to look for something
IN the way of a surprice whwen the mar
ket opened, more particularly as 1t had
been rumored that Liverpool shorts were
in full retreat and being closely followed
by jubiIant bulls. The initial sales show
ed an advance far exceeding the hopes of
the most optimistic holder, while subse-
quent business revealed an intensity of
bulish sentiment in outside speculative
circles not even imagined by the markets
best friends The stroke Of the gavel
started wild wave Of speculative ac-
tivity which showed little abatement up
to thesvery close. Opening prices were u
to p points above the closing of Thurs
day and the market closed firm at a net
gain of 3lG34 points.
New Orleans, La, Oct. 2.-There was
again some excitement on the floor OF
the New Orleans cotton exchange today,
due to an unaccountable lapse of the
regular reports from Liverpool, and for
a quarter Of an hour there were delays
in the receipt Of advices. which compeli-
ed President Parker to take drastic pre-
cautionary measures against any possible
repetition Of the fiasco Of last Friday.
Arrangements were promptly made with
the Postal Telegraph company for COM
piete reports over the wires Of that COM
pany of all market quotations. as a check
against the regular reports Of the West
ern Union. There is no clue yet TO the
solution Of the mystery OF Friday.
