Danger and Pain of Child-bearing.
There is so much suffering and danger
in store for the young mother, that her
happy anticipation soon gives way to
feeling of dread at the thought of the
pain which she must undergo. This
constant fear so preys upon the mind OF
many women that it fills them with ter

of the greatest anxiety and dread.
All the suffering and danger of the

other unpleasant conditions which ex.
ist during this time. Thousands OF
women praise Mothers Friend" for

MiIes's Offense.
New York World.

Nauseating and poisonous beef was
furnished to the army by contractors.
This fact was certified to by thirty
regimental officers of the regular
army, whose report on the quality of
the food was asked for in the usual
way. 1t was substantiated by still
larger number of volunteer officers, in
cluding Colonel Roosevelt.
General Miles stated this fact before
the war investigating commission on
the basis of these reports, and also as
having come under his own observa-
ton in Porto Rico.
For having told the truth in an ef-
fort to save the lives and health OF the
soldiers, and to protect the govern
ment from outrageous and criminal
swindling, General Miles is being
prosecuted by the administration
under the form of an inquiry into the
beef supply.
This is the "Miles case" in brief
The American people are watching
the outcome of this conspiracy.

The Unsainly Russian Sailor.
London Answers

AubWcIb.
A real sailorman has fingers bent up
like fishhoOks from the lifelong habit
of gripping things. The Russian sail
or carries his hands like soldier and
cannot possibly be handy" A sail
or's gait ashore has a slight roll. This
arises from the need at sea of keeping
up the windward side of a rolling ship.
And the rolling gait marks one of
sailors finest Qualities-balance. Un-
less the body balances and poises to
meet every motion of ship the re-
suit is seasickness.
Now, the Russian bluejacket does
not roll in his gait ashore, but
marches. Neither has he any sense of
balancing at sea and seasickness in
the Russian fleet is q source of actual
weakness and danger. The Black Sea
squadron can only put to sea in the
three calmest months OF the summer,
and the so-called maneuvers take
place ashore on the Kenai peninsula,
consisting mainly OF battalion drill.
One more trait of the real sailor is
his self reliance, which makes him fit
for facing emergencies single-handed.
But the Russian bluejacket has none
of this. He is not machine in him.
self, but only little bit of machine
which cannot work without the other
bits. He is huge in stature-a giant
compared with our men-but in his
winter overcoat it is impossible to dis
tinguish him as o soldier. Un-
handy, seasick and reliant only in
drill discipline, he is utterly unfit for
active service.

the gold standard, your correspondence
with Mr.. Warren sets forth your oppo-
sition to the income tax, and news
paper item in your book gives you
credit for drafting that portion of the
indianapolis platform which related to
the retirement of the greenbacks and
the substitution of bank currency.
"Your prophesy that law to pre-
vent wage-earners and salary-earners
from demanding and securing payment
in gold dollars would not be winning
ISSUE eyinces tender solicitude for
the laboring man. / might suggest
that bimetalism alarms you more than
it does the wage -earners. 1t was not
the employees who were frightened at
the specter of free silver in 1896; nei-
ther did the laboring men share your
desire to add to the privileges of the
banks.
"On December 20, 1897, year after
the election, the Federation OF Labor
adopted the following resolutions:

selves most positively opposed to the
Gage financial bill recently introduced
in Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is measure that, if
adopted as a law, will only the more
firmly rivet the gold standard on the
people OF the country and perpetuate
its disastrous effects in ever form.
" Resolped, That we pronounce the
Gage bill an undisguised effort to
retire our greenback currency and all
government paper money, with view
to the substitution of national bank
notes in their stead and thus fasten
the national bank system for years
upon the American people.

WEALTHY FARMER SWINDLED.
Waa WaIIa Man Loses $4,000 at an Old
Game.

B. Royce, a wealthy farmer living
on the Coppei, near Walla Walla, was
beaten out of $1,000 by sharpers the
oiher day. Two men, representing
themselves as "Judge" Wilson and
CDR" Baker, of Montana, visited
Royce's ranch for the ostensible pur.
pose of buying land. While there
they were joined by third man, who
said he was representing the Louisiana
lottery, and had $4,000 to distribute
to reputable men in that county.
Royce and Baker were induced to
take 4 chance, and each drew a 5000
prize.
Before he would pay the money,
however, the lottery man required the
winners to show they were worth the
amount equal to that won, as the
money was only to be distributed to
responsible men. Consequently Royce
and Baker went to Walla Walla after
money. Royce drew $1,000 in gold
from the bank. Baker disappeared
for few minutes and returned with
$1,000 in bills, and the two returned
to the ranch, where "Judge" Wilson
was keeping guard over the lottery
man. The $4,000 of Royce and
Baker and $4,000 of the lottery agent
was put in box and locked up by
Wilson, who put the key in his pocket,
and gave the box to Royce to keep
until the next day, when all four were
to meet at the postoffice in the city to
divide.
Royce came to the city, but instead
of finding the men received sarcastic
letter, stating that the box which he
carried was of no material value, and
advising him to keep quiet about it, or
the neighbors would laugh az him, and
he would lose his standing in church
and social circles. Chief of Police
Kaufman broke open the box, and
found # filled with lead. The sharp.
ers are described as grayhaired, beard
ed, dignified and very affable.
