OUR BEARDED
LADY.

Designing men, through alluring and cum
niugly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them stowrite
to a 1e001dH % and secure a zgonsdn's syru-
pathy." 1t is we'll to remember that the
best sympathy is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant The object of the sick is to get we'll,
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, if not more so, than SYM
pathy from stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure ii you are an ailing womar
1t IS loudly proclaimed through the press
that woman can best understand a
woman's ailments, and on this ground sicS
women are invited to write to a woman y
and get the benefit of a woman's advice
The sort OF understanding of her ailments"
wanted by sick woman is trained medi-
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments moi as a zOomdn, but as a
physician. If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
As far as known, there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one. therefore quail
ned by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure
1t is certain that there is no one, man OF
woman, connected with any put up -
medicine for women, excepting only DIR.

DR.. Pierce. is regular graduated and quail
fed physician, and who has like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special

For more than thirty years DR.. R v.

been chief consulting physician of the

General Harrison, in 1889, sent DR.
Bedloe of Philadelphia to Canton as
consul. During his term the doctor
was spending a month or two in Wash
ington and was largely in evidence in
social and political circles. About this
time the Gridiron club gave a dinner
and both gentlemen were guests. The
doctor told a few stories early in the
evening. ard later on the president
made Il speech.
Il was charmed" he said in his soft,
graceful way, TO hear the clever :r2ec-
dotes from our distinguished consul to
i mean from Annoy" Then he passed
on 20 other topics but the doctor took
the hint. and the next steamer carried
him back to his post.
1t WAS net the first time that DR..
Bed!oe had experience with presidents
at club dinners. Once President Cleve-
land was a guest at the celebrated
Glover club in Philadelphia, of which
the doctor is famous wit. The Clover
ties always interrupt their guests when
they rise to speak. Knowing this, Mr..
Cleveland began:
60 on, gentlemen; l am prepared
for the worst
There came an instant's pause, and
the doctor cackled shrilly:
$50 are e."-Philadelphia Post.

A young lady who is employed In
one of the tall Office buildings has a

boy was saucy, and she scolded him.
A day or two later he marched into the

handed her one of SIr. Jones calling
cards

the boy
The latter nodded.
Her heart beat faster. She could not
imagine what he had come to her Of

to the theatef that night. She went
softly to the washstand in the corner
bon about her neck freshly and then.
with her sweetest expression, went
into the other office.
A burly man with mustache stood
near the door. 1t wasn't her friend at
all.
Are you Miss - he asked.
''Yes?-'
''Well I'm a constable, and I've got

MUSIC and MatrimOny.

Captain Becker. an official of the
Kongo Free State, won the affection of
many of the natives in very curious
way. He bought good loud playing
barrel organ and allowed the natives
to turn the handle. The captain was
very anxious that the people should
be married in accordance with the
Christian religion. and when it was
known the organ would be played at
all such marriages the increase in the
number of Christian weddings was re-
markaDle. Things were generally ar
ranged so that one wedding took place
each day, in order that the organ
might be heard regularly. 1t turned
out afterward that several couples had
been married twice, in order that the
organ might be played at their npp-
tials.-SuSSex News.

The Lever That Raised Him.

A young man who is now well up the
list of high salaried officers of a big
manufacturing company said several
days ago that he owed his first oppor-
tunity to show his ability to the fact
that he was not afraid to soil his
clothes. He was one of half a dozen
young men just graduated from scieu-
tile schools who entered the shops of
this company as students. They were
expected to show that they were prac-
teal workmen, but most of them pre-
ferred theory to practice. The man
ager of the company was a self taught
man, and he didn't take much stock in
scientific schools. The young man
who has succeeded took his measure
accurately and, putting on old clothes,
went to work in the shops. Whether
by accident or design he was noticed
by the manager one day stretched out
on his back under Il heavy casting
with a hammer and cold chisel in his
higher ambition. \ week later the
manager summoned him to the office.
Didn't l see you under that casting
several days ago." he asked.
YES"
''Well. find that we have vacancy
on our staff now, and you may fill it if
you choose"
The young man did choose, and his
progress has been rapid. He does not
have to soil his clothes now to prove
his ability.-New York Sun.

Doing without the Dot.

The small letter ''i'' was formerly
written without the dot. The dot was
introduced in the fourteenth century
to distinguish "i' from ''e" in hasty
and indistinct writing. The letter ''i''
was originally used where the letter
''j'' is now employed. The distinction
between Il" and ~ was introduced
by the Dutch printers at a compara-
lively recent date, and the IL was dot
ted because the 81, from which it was
derived, was written with a dot.

Many Damage Suits.

Attorney d. H. Leonard has prepar-
ed the papers and will institute suits
in the Circuit Court for H. c. Hickle
against Lieut.. King, Onicers Haines
and Trainor and John ]. McNerney for
conspiracy and false Imprisonment.
These suits are fer S., 900 each, and are
the outgrowth of the robbery of Hickle
at McNerney's place and his subse-
quent arrest at the instigation of Nc
Nerney, and of his being confined in
the lookup all night, and released the
next morning because there were no
charges against him. 1t will be alleg-
ed in the bill that it was a conspiracy
against Hickle.
Suit has also been instituted by
Richard Sans through D. H. Leonard
against Lieut.. King and Officers O'Neal
Hopkins and Carder for false arrest
and Imprisonment. The papers were
prepared today and were filed this af-
ternoon. These last suits are for
81 900 each and are the outgrowth OF
an arrest that was made several
months ago.-Sentinel.

Some NegIects Of Education.

Now that the government has laid
stress on the need of the soldier to
know how to swim, 1t is in order for
the American to restore to the com
mon branches of his education at
least three things that his ancestry
considered ordinary and necessary ac-
complishments. These are to know
how to swim, how to ride horse and
how to shoot a rife. Until the pres
ent generation arose our country was
SO near the frontier that every boy as
he grew up was taught how to load
and shoot his rifle, how to make his
bullets, clean his gun, set his sights
and how to drive a tack at a hundred
feet offhand. The same conditions of
life taught the boy how to swim, dive,
float and make himself at home in the
water, and how to row dugout or a
skiff. The conditions of the country
roads and the want of vehicles and of
railroads and the modern means of
transportation compelled the boy to
depend upon his own good legs or the
farm horse when he wanted to travel,
and he knew how to ride horse, in a
Mcclellan saddle or on a sheepsl1in
Men yet living have journeyed humid
reds of miles horseback ON their trips
to the towns and cities, but 50-mile
ride now would be an imposslbllity to
majority of the youthful population.
Yet in case of war it becomes neces-
sary for a recruit to become expert in
the saddle, in the water and with the
rifle. All three accomplishments are
good as physical exercise and the ac-
QUESTION of them help in the command
of himself THAI a young man needs.
And along with these bits of education
1t would not hurt the young fellow If
more of a military training were add
ed to his school course. The school of
the soldier is one of the best to give a
young man control of his movements
and to develop grace and activity.
Our surfeit of civilized luXuries is en-
dangering the rugged virtues that
must always be the salvation of the
Nation.-Plttsburg Times.
