Millinery Opening.

For the reason that the very
busiest season of the year has
dawned upon US and every minute
of time must be devoted to the
practical part of work, we have
dispensed with formal opening,
but on Friday, Sept. 29th, we
promise the ladies a rare treat in
beautiful patterns and in values.
Not how cheap, but how good" is
our motto in selecting stock, and
an inspection of the goods will
bear out the assertion. Every
lady is cordially invited to visit my
store Friday.
Mrs. JAMES, Milliner.

she awoI<e with start. She dreamed that
when the hand on the dial of the clock
should point to the third hour of morning
she would die. Often she had suffered
agonies and wished for death, but now-it
was sudden, so near so very near In
that moment life became inexpreSSibly
dear. How long had she to live? With
cry she sprang from her bed and ran to the
clock. 1t lacked ten minutes of three.
Only few minutes more of life With
frenzied haste she graSped the hand of the
clock and pushed it back, back, back from
the fateful number: Then she stopped
the clock should not make coward of her.
She would die at the fated hour-fate had
decreed it, but a few moments still re-
manned. In that time she would take

attempted to write note of farewell. 1t
was useless. Words failed her. The blank

lay near at hand. In an instant her gaze
riveted on the letters which were therein
printed from Mrs. Anna Tuggle, of Cherokee
City, Ark, Mrs. Emma Snyder, of Ames,
Iowa, and Mrs White of Stony Greek, Ny.
The reading of these letters brought new
hope, new desires to live. She would
make one more effort. She also would
turn back the hand of fate and become
s aealf thy. happy tP woman very hour
ing she began to use DIR. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription, and to-day there is no happier
woman-no happier wife and mother-in
all Springfield. This one woman is type
of thousands who suffer and submit in
silence to the appalling fate which they,
too, consider inevitable. For them all there
is hope. For them all there is help.
Let them resolutely turn back the hand
of fate, that, according to their over
wrought imaginations, is stretched out
against them. Many a woman to-day is
suffering constant pain, and sees the hand
of death on the dial of time, who could be
saved to a useful, happy life, if by some
means her attention could be drawn to
the wonderful cures of woman's ailments
wrought by DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, The difference between DIR. Pierce's
treatment and all others is the difference
between
EXPERIMENT AND EXPERIENCE.
A woman naturally shrinks from the
experimental treatment which involves
questionings and examinations that
repugnant to her delicacy and offensive to
her modesty, and which at best result in
mental misery and physical patchwork.
And she silently endures her suffering
rather than submit to examinations and
local treatment.
Wonders are worked by DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Nature is always
struggling to build up the wasted and worn
system. - But she cannot make bricks with
out straw. The "Favorite Prescription "
supplies the material that nature use
to repair the waste of the system and re-
new the vitality of the debilitated organs.
When this is accomplished health comes
along natural channels and comes to stay.
