THE FEMININE OBSERVER.

The struggle of life is hardest when
n has to keep all the troubles to
oneself.
Ermine and green velvet make a
very delightful combination for a
child'a coat.
One sees some very silly exhibitions
in the late cars from people who have
dined well.
The persons who do the most crit
icising are always the ones most in
need Of it themselves.
The happiest woman IN earth at the
present time is the one selecting her
new sealskin coat.
Golden brown and robins nest blue
the new French hats.
When earrings are next worn they
will be of the long dangling variety
our mothers used to own.
The consciousness of wearing a new
gown is almost as trying as to be
forced to appear in an old one.
Every widow declares that she will
never marry again, but it is only ono
In ten who keeps her word.
The girl who is engaged to a travel
ing man must have her bump OF con-
fdence abnormally developed.
1t may seem early to talk about
Christmas buying, but it is by no
means too soon to begin Christmas
saving.
Was there ever a married woman
who could tell the exact words her
husband used when he proposed to
her?
A business woman must be pardoned
II she at times fails to keep up with
all the exactions of social etiquette.
The fluffy type of woman can be
kittenish gracefully, but let the tall,
severe style resolutely turn her back
on any temptation to gambol in frol-
fcsome gi~rlishness. = Philadelphia
Times.

A GOOD IDEA,

Cheyenne consumes lis, 900 cigars
each thirty days, which should mean
the employment of twenty-four skilled
worknen at an average Of 1922 each
week, which would make a pay roll
Of $2,112 per month. Your home fac
tory supplies 10000 Of the 1851 900
Now figure it out for yourself. Would
it be any advantage to you to have
this deficiency kept to home instead Of
smoke nothing, but home made cigars.

well attended Notwithstanding the very
severe weather. Mr.. English's musical
number was excellent and was heartily
enoored. The sales of fancy articles,
popcorn, candies and other refresh

from 9 until IL and a number of young
folks were present and enjoyed this
portion Of the program as well as the
first part very much indeed. The fair
will be open again this evening and 1t
is expected the attendance will be ever
larger than on the first night.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
out a Failure.

The first indication Of Group Is
h~oarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease It may be taken as a sure
sign Of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a pecul-
lar rough cough. II Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, 1t will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is used in many
thousands of homes in this broad land

mothers. We have yet to learn of a
single instance in which 1t las not

San Mateo lies between a high noun

front, with wide sand bars which the
insurgent trenches and the buildings
command. The Americans were COM
PEELED to ford the river under fire. 1t
was while they were lying in the rice
fields and volleying across preparatory
to passing the stream, that General
Lawton was shot. All except the Off
GERS were behind cover. A staff officer
was wounded about the same time and
one other officer and seven men were
wounded.
After three hours shooting the Fill

President McKinley's first intimation
of the loss of this brave officer was CIV
en- him by the Associated Press.
The dispatch vas sent to the White
House while the cabinet meeting was
in progress and was Immediately sent
to The cabinet room, where it vas re-
ceived with expressions of sorrow and
regret. 1t was learned at the wal de-
partment that instructions had been
received last night from the president
to prepare General Lawton's commits
sion as b~rigadier general in the regu-
lar army to fill one of me existing va
c%ancies and the adjutant generals
clerks were at work on the commits
sion when the Information of General

At the opening Of the war with Spain

The Omaha Bee contains the follow
ing in its telegraph report yesterday
from Washington:
Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
got everything he wanted, military af-
fairs, public lands, mines and mining
and with his array believes he can do
some real good for his section.
J. A. Van Orsdell, attorney general
of Wyoming, and who is agent Of the
settlers on the Otoe and Missouri lands
in Gage county, Nebraska, is seriously
i'll with typhoid fever at the residence
of Senator Warren. He has been sick
ever since he came to Washington, but
typhoid developed today.
Supervising Architect Taylor has
called the attention of the secretary Of
the treasury to the fact that in placing
the foundation for the new public
building at Cheyenne unforeseen Difficult
ties have arisen which have necessi-
money for substructure work before the
foundation proper could be begun. This
coupled with the further fact OF a large
increase in the price of building mater
ials, has made it impossible to award
a contract for construction Of the build
ing within the limits fixed by congress.
This Supervising Architect Taylor de-
plores and he further says that as the
needs of the service will not permit
the construction of a smaller building
he recommends that the limit of cost
of the building be increased from $780,
900 to 1925 900 and an appropriation at
the present session of $4,000.
Senator Warren, who was largely in
strumental in getting the building for
Cheyenne and who is vitality interested
in having it completed, will tomorrow
offer a bill for which he will ask imme-
diate consideration, extending the limit
of the cost of the structure to 1926 900
and authorizing the secretary Of the
treasury to enter into contracts for the
completion of the building within the
limit as suggested by the supervising
architect. Senator Warren says there
is no desire to get a larger building
or a better building for Cheyenne, but
he desires 10 have the building erect
ed as originally planned, present con
ditions being wholly the fault Of the
government for not drilling ground be-
fore starting the foundation. Nearly
$25, 900 was spent alone in getting the
ground ready for the foundation.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When man begins to add to his hours
of labor, and subtract from his hours
of rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi-
cincs. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need of the body IS
strength. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is invaluable to overworked
men and women. 1t strengthens the
stomach, increases the blood supply,
nourishes the nerves, and gives vital
power to brain and body.

ical Discovery" 1t contains 10 opium,
