Sense
Talk with
Women

If a person is ill and needs a medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hum
dreds of thousands of cures to it's
credit?
A great many women who are ill try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise. for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years it's record has been one UNI
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems 81 strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful a.;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over II million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
eve been published in the interest Of
any other medicine.
All this should. and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge.
and when they are asked to take some-
thing else they say, "No, we want
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letterslike the
following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham,

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The second days
session Of the arbitration conference
ended by an attack ON Samuel Com

in a speech last night decided for COM

CHRISTMAS


See the woman
With the wrinkles
In her brow.
Oh, what can be the
Matter, anyhow?
What disaster
Overtakes her,
What agony thus
Shakes Nr,
That she bites her lips
And quivers,
Twists her frizzes while she
Shivers,
That she means
And she groans
While she cries in doleful tones:
Nov l really wonder whether
Something neater in full leather
Would be better?
What to get her
Is the question, quite the question.
Oh, for some correct suggestion
What to buy! What to buy!"
See the wild light in her eye!
AS she travels, Is she PAGES
TO a score or more of places
Getting more and more confused,
Something taken, then refused,
Something priced and laid aside,
TILL tha 1oHv nav Ioci5o
Dear, Oh, dear!
Very queer
Is her every trick and antic,
AS she speeds, a being frantic
Looking, pricing, testing, trying.
Doing everything but buying.
Now she has it, now she's lost it.
Now she lists it.. Now she's crossed
it
From her list, it will not do.
1t is simply tco-well, too
Always something lis the matter,
If 'twere longer. if 'twere flatter,
If 'twere only not so high,

Oh. the trouble of selecting,
Of inspecting, of rejecting,
Oh the misery of choosing,
OF reviewing and refusing.
Oh the quaking,
And the shaking,
And the everything but taking,
Oh the thousand things enticing,
And the testing, trying. pricing,
That we do,
While we rue,
The things we've bought and wish
We had bought the other dish,
And we sweat
And we get
Still wilder, wilder yet,
Get sick and sad and sore
AS we trot from store to store,
Get tired and and fretful,
Melancholy and %regretful,
In the dumps,
And we call it Merry Christmas
Like a lot of bloomin' chumps!

NEW SCHEDULE.
NORTHERN PACIFIC TELEGRAPH
ERS WILL ASK FOR AN IN
CREASE IN PAY.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TELEGRAPH
ERS WILL ASK FOR AN IN
CREASE IN PAY.
st. Paul, Dec. 1S.-The grievance
committee of the Northern Pacific
telegraph operators, consisting of
eight members and headed by George
Hampton of Tacoma, Wash, is in St.
Paul and has prepared the new sched-
ule for the Northern Pacific road,
which was presented to the officials of
the company. 1t will provide for a
10 per cent increase in the wages of
operators in large cities, or a raise of
~ a month. In the outside towns an
increase of from So to $50 a month will
be asked, according to the %hardships
these operators endure. Some of the
latter act as ticket agents, baggage
masters, station agents and general
utility men.
The night operators in St. Paul and
similar places work eight hours and
thirty minutes for luncheon. The
new schedule will ask that the working
time be reduced to eight hours
straight, including the half hour for
luncheon. lie day operators, who
now work nine hours and a half, will
ask for a day of nine hours and forty
minutes within that time for dinner.
They wish to be placed on the same
footing as railroad clerks, who work
nine hours, with a half day off on Sat-
urdays.
The committee has been at work on
the schedule for three months, finding
it a difficult task to prepare a wage
sheet for such an extensive territory
as that covered by the road and deal
equally with the lone operator at a
way station and the manipulation of a
e in a large city. The officials of
the road have been aware that a de-
mand for an increase in wages and a
reimbursement of the working time
would be asked, and their answer is
awaited with interest not only by the
Northern Pacific telegraphers, but by
those on other roads.
The leaders are acting very conserv-
atively. They are making no boast
of a strike. They simply insist that
the conditions of the operators de-
mand a readjustment, and will present
their demands to the general manager
of the road this morning in the belief
that he will concede that the new
schedule is reasonable.

THE LITTLE THINGS
 IN FALL DRESSES
The Shoe to Wear, Hat to Buy, and the Kind of Neckwear
 That Will Be in Style.

Paris, France.-It is the season for brides to plan their finery. The modistes run their fingers through the folds of finest lace while Mademoiselle-the bride-to-be- looks on and signs with anticipation, an interested spectator.
 All the bridal traditions are violated this season; and we are having brides such as never were seen before in the world of fashion
 Never before have the necks of bridal gowns been cut lower than the chin, yet this season they are rounded below the throat, and are even low enough to show an inch of the neck. A soft chiffon stock may be worn if desired, for there are many brides who simply will not depart from tradition to the extent of wearing the low neck.
 In another respect the brides of the au- tumn of 1900 are departing from time honored custom. They are wearing the soft smooth saun-faced goods in place of the traditional white satin. Can you im- agine material as fine as silk as glossy as satin, and as pliable as yelling; that Is the new bridal materiali It Is called cash mere but it Is of a wonderful grade, surely such as was never seen before. They are making a glossy Henrietta that Is beauti- ful for bridal gowns; and then there are the new nuns veilings, all beautiful and fashionable.
The age-herald., 1900-09-23

these come the lace sleeves which accom- pany every gown these days. So 1t Is, that in buying her trousseau the girl must think as much of these minor items as she does of her gowns. Roman blue and Russian blue are the blues of the moment; even navy Is popular and these are periwinkle and tendre and turquoise and the other blues, all now in vogue.
 There are new pocketbooks, and they are odd
 The animal fad seems to have been car ried out in the pocketbook as well as the umbrella handle and the hat pin.
 Very handsome books of leather mounted in silver are to be found, and the silver mounting is the head of some animal.
 A very odd piece of work Is that of the head of bear. It is of very dark brown leather, and on first glancing at it one is rather startled, until his better sense ar- gues with him.
 The mouth of the bear closes and opens with a little spring and this ever hungry animal receives the money in his mouth The pocketbook Is made easy to carry by a small strap fastened to the base of the head which Is caught by the fingers.
 But these are only tiny accessories of the toilette. Let us consider just now articles Of greater size and importance-hats.
 We have had the golf, the sailor hat and the felt mob, but for autumn and winter we must wear the sombrero and auto mobile.
 The automobile is almost the same hat known as the golf, except that 1t is little wider in front and back than 1t on the sides. The crown is pointed but not very nigh. The trimming on the hat Is the quill, or pom-pon, and if not the same color of the hat is a decided contrast.
 A hat the shade of the dress is worn, and the trimming must be like the trimming of the dress.
 The shades of the hats have changed very little. Grey, brown, tan, red and blue are all to be popular, and with them quills or pom-pons of any share may be worn.
 The Mexican sombrero is somewhat dif- ferent It is grey, little darker than the French grey The crown is low and round- ing, and the only trimming on it is gold cord, with tassel, which fastens on one side.
 These hats may be worn in many shapes
The age-herald., 1900-09-23

Chiffon drapes nicely over these mater ials and looks we'll with them; so also does lace which is the bridal stuff.
 In spite of the financial difficulties in which the Castellanes are said to be in- volved, the Countess is out as much as ever and looking charming. She Is the matchmaker Of the younger set of Paris; and is the acknowledged patronress of every love affair. She attends more wed- dings than any other society woman of raris; of course this entails giving many a present but this means no embarrass- ment for the Countess.
 Recently she attended a wedding at which she wore that color of the month, bluel Her gown was a lovely thing in periwinkle blue brocaded draped with lace The bodice was cut in two long points in front, that latest scheme to give length to the waist. Stoles of lace fell from two rosettes of Alk upon the bust. The stock was of lace with ends sharply wired in the back
 The bride on this occasion wore a gown of satin faced cashmere surely as lustrous as satin. The apparent economy of this costume was destroyed by the panels of lace which trimmed its side breadths. The face was rare old Point, in pattern, the designs being almost raised, so fine and soft and clear were they.
 The bodice was tight fitting without a suspicion of blouse; on the contrary there were short bodice points in front The neck was very low and there were no sleeves, the yoke and sleeves being cyvered by the rare lace. Many of the wedding gowns are made in this way with transparent neck and sleeves
 The brides trousseau of the season of 1900 consists largely of the small things of dress. Instead of ten dozen of aal Kinds of underwear there are more cravats, more neckers more collarettes and more vests. Ten dozen would not be too many Of these articles if all were enumerated. And the reason for tbis is apparent. With the pew bodices of the season there is reQuifed a separate yoks. eftsp separate vest. With these must go neck arrangements. If the gown be blue there must be blue. white there must also be in abundance. Besides
The age-herald., 1900-09-23

One may be tilted slightly on the side, and pinned there with long fancy pin. An other hat may be dropping on one side. and tilted on the other. SuM another may be slightly raised in front or in back, with the same good effect.
 One cannot write of hats without an in- cidental mention of neckweaP. Never was there such variety as this year. The high stock with the small, stiff bow is still worn and there Is a tie of sofe China silk which has small dots in it. This is tied, not in four in hand, but in e loose bow The dots, if possible, should match the trimming of the dress, and the ground work should be the shade of the material of the gown.
 Very full fluffy ties are made to wear with plain waists. They are very dressy and the whole effect of the costume may be changed by replacing the business like tie with the lacey affair.
 This is simply double bow of silk, tho silk having lace about three inches deep on It, but the bows are pinned in such a way as to confuse the observer and one can not tell just whether 1t is a bow or not.
 There are numerous ways of wearing rib bons this season A very pretty style is that of tying the ribbon in a bow at the neck, carrying the ribbon straight down the front to the bust line. Here you tie another bow, and again another at the waist line.
 1He WAiStS to pc WoTu tnlS WlnTer are the shirt waists. They are made of French flannel, in delicate shades.
 One very handsome waist is made of pale salmon pink. There are two groups of tucks, twelve tucks in a group, on each side of the centre of the front, and down the front @ plait made of twelve tucks forms the fastening Between each of these tucks is & narrow silver cord, and the belt worn with the waist is of silver braid. The back is drawn down into the belt, in the very center there is a group of three tucks. On each side of this group are other groups of the same number. Be- tween each of these tucks as in the front is row of the silver cord.
 A waist in dark brown is very striking, trimmed with gilt cord. A plait runs down the front, and from each side of this scroll pattern in the gold extends. This

Colonel Met lure Was Lonesome

T Toih lHe fHllauelpnla POSI-
 Col A. K. Mcclure has stood on many platforms, has addressed assemblages large and small political, social and religious. He Is noted for his self-command under any circumstances, but on one occasion he was distinctly embarrassed and i'll at ease.
 On this occasion Colonel Mcclure was the chief speaker at a large assembdy-the audience being made up mainly of farmers, or other persons who had driven to the place of meeting. In the midst of an elo- quent speech 1t began to rain. One after another of his hearers jumped up and hur- ried out, until the speaker was left with an array of empty benches before him.
 Colonel McClure's face flushed crimson. He had said not word that could give of fense, and he naturally failed to under stand the sudden ave-taking, but his em- barrassment was quickly changed to amusement when the chairman arose and said:
 Its all right. colonel; they're only going out to look after the horses; they'll be back pretty soon."
 The orator sat down until the farmers returned, and then resumed his speech.
