he put on my hat and cloak. and thus It
appeared to those who foucd my neon

As chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y,
DIR. R. V. Pierce has made a most remarkable
record in the treatment and cure of diseases
peculiar to women. In something over thirty
years, assisted by his associate staff of physi-
clans, numbering nearly a score, he has treated
and cured more than half a million women. Not
the least remarkable feature of these cures is the
fact that in the great majority of cases the patients
lived at a distance and consulted DR.. Pierce by
letter, receiving his free advice and counsel on the
case by mail. In exceptional cases, only, where
surgical aid was required, has it been necessary to
come to the institute for treatment. Women. will
be interested in these two examples of what can be
done for their diseases by DR.. Pierce's medicines.

MR.. BOWsERss TRIBULATIONs.
He Does a Bit of Fall House Cleaning
While Mrs. Bowser il Away.

While Mrs. BOwser il Away.
Copyright, 1900. by c. B.. Lewis.)
Mrs. Bowser had gone to her moth
er'S in the country for a few days for a
change of air, and Mr.. Bowser and the
family cat had been left at home to
run the house and look out for things.
Before leaving she extracted a solemn
promise from him that he would not
disturb things while she was absent,
but on the evening before she was ex-
pected home, and while he sat just out
side the door in the back yard, a cigar
in his mouth and the cat seated on
another chair besides him, a sudden
feeling of pity for Mrs. Bowser came
owe him. When she returned from
her vacation, she would have to go
right to work at fall housekeeping.
and by the time she had finished all the
benefits of the country air would be
dissipated.
"By George, but I'll go at it to-mor-
row morning." exclaimed Mr.. Bowser
as he recalled that business was a little
dull and he could spare a day or two
from the office. Eyes, I'll pitch in right
after breakfast and knock the socks
off'n this housekeeping business in
less'n than 4S hours. That little wife
of mine shan't come home to break her
back hunting the moths and dust out OF
this house"
There was a sound of gurgling and
chuckling close at hand, and he turned
to look ut the cat. 1t was she, but she
put on such an innocent expression
that he laid the chuckling to a boy on
the other side of the fence. He went to
bed early to get a good start in the
morning. He was alone in the house,
and as he slept he dreamed that a big
cat sat on his breast and grinned into
his face.
At 8 O'Clock next morning he a
coat. vest, collar and tie off and was
ready for the fray. The first thing to
be done. as he figured it, was to rush
all the parlor furniture into the back
yard and give him some room to
spread himself. He had decided that
the woodwork ought to be gone over
with a light coat of paint, and after
getting the furniture out he went look
ing around for old paint cans. He had
painted the veranda and the flower
pots in the spring, and he found some
OF the mixture left. 1t was a tender

Gd Mr. Shine DC no ha0on - 1-i-+T- -.
Il know you, you old soft soaper! Ycu
want to dodge that $40, but I'll have it
before l leave!"
My own inventive idea. as | told
you, and it will astonish the world.
The baby carriage can be changed into
a cradle, a hammock or a sled by NOV
ing a lever. Good for summer or WIN
ter, you see. Is provided with a sta
tlonary milk bottle, a whistle and a
rattlebox. Has an ice chest and n
soothing syrup department. AS the
wheels turn a mouth organ plays. Pro-
vided with a patent brake, rubber tires
and a mothproof cover; also has re-
voivlng fans to keep the flies away.
After the baby gets out of long dresses
he can use the carriage as a tricycle..
That's the invention, Mr.. Shine. Or
gained on a capital of $3.50. 900, and
shares to be sold at par. There's more
than millions in it."
Il don't care a rap if there is. What
l want is my $40, and I'll give you
just five minutes to shell out"
Il was going to offer you the secro-
taryship," softly observed the major,
but the salary will be only ten thou
sand a year. What l shall offer you
and what | was going to telegraph
about as you came in was the purchas-
ing agency. We shall want a man TO
buy the milk and soothing strip and
see that they are pure. The salary
will be at least $4,000 per year, with
perquisites thrown in. My dear man,
you trusted me. This is your reward.
NOW, Will you snake.
Not by a burned sight" shouted
Mr.. Shine as he bobbed around. None
of this sort of rot will stand me off on
my $40. Do you want me to take it
out of your hide?"
And you can buy stock at par. my
dear fellow-stock hat will be worth
150 inside Of four weeks. | have ar
ranged for that. That stock will pay
you at least 100 per cent. Invest s10.-
600 and you have an income of s25. 900

Is it enough? If not. just say so. and
I'll add 5000 from my salary as pres

The major stepped, and Mr.. Shine re-
moved his collar, tie and cuffs. Then
he spat on his hands and limbered up
his arms and waited. He waited for
half an hour-two hours. Then he got
up and redressed himself and kicked
over the chairs and desk and went out.
The major had stood, him off once

a Woman, Herself a Physician, Turns
, to DR.. Pierce for Help and Healing.

rt is with extreme pleasure that l make known to You
my rapid recovery from a long illness as a result OF a compli-
cation of organic diseases, the principal one being ovarian
Ardwick, Prince George Co., Maryland. ut is a pleasure to
recommend DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription as the best
medicine l have ever taken for the disease in question. l
have full knowledge of its properties and its power to draw
one from the brink of the grave. Such has been my case.
For three years l did not experience one we'll day. l was
first under treatment, then the surgeons knife, and through
complete disgust l gave up both, and, acting under advice of
a friend, I took DR.. Pierce's medicine with patience. Now,
I owe my life to that wonderful Prescription of his, and I
cannot recommend it too highly. Never i'll my profession
have 1 seen such a miracle worker in the form of medicine"

pink, which would have looked too
lovely for anything on the cheeks OF
a bride, but it needed thinning down.
He knew that practical painters never
used water, vinegar, cold tea or coffee
to thin out paint. but his knowledge
stopped short there. 1t was when his
eye rested on the kerosene can that he
solved the puzzle.
When the paint had been duly re-
paired for use. a little oil was added
from the sewing machine can to give it
a gloss. and Mr.. BoWser went to work.
Ut takes some men years to become an
artist with the brush. 1t didn't tax
him over ten minutes. The peach
blown color not only stood out over the
white groundwork, but the oil brought
out a real bloom on the peaches. AS
he stood back and surveyed his first
door he could almost imagine that he
saw rare ripe peaches hanging 10 trees
out in the country. The oder wasn't
exactly agreeable, but he decided 10
throw that in free gratis. 1t was a
job that would have taken an aver
age painter a full day, with his going
back to the shop for putty, sandpaper
and around the corner for beer. but at
noon Mr.. Bowser stood in the middle
of the room and ran out Lis tongue
and looked around and saw that his
work was finished. In addition TO the
bloom on the peadhblow color, the oil
had brought out thousands Of bubbles.
but he did not regard them as draw
backs. On the contrary, lie rather
prided himself on having struck some
thing new in the line of high art paint

moths. Yes, he remembered that she
had been fighting moths for years and
that it had been hard work to keep
them down. Whether she had used the

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak
women strong and sick women well. 1t does this
by curing the weakening and painful diseases which
affect the womanly organs. 1t regulates the peri
DDS, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and
liberation, and cures female weakness. 1t strength
ems the nervous system, gives a healthy appetite and
induces refreshing sleep. 1t is a boon to mothers,
who are strengthened by the use Of "Favorite Pre-
scription " SO that they do not experience nervous
ness and anxiety in the days of waiting, and when
baby's advent comes the ordeal is practically painless.

GA uTIOUS CORBETT CAUGHT
K.d Mccoy Over the Heat With Sew
 eral Blows and Did the Work.

James J. Corbett was the victor 1t took him just five rounds to show Kid Mccoy that he was the best man. The fight took place at Mad Ison Square Garden in New Yo~k last night and will be the lest ring battle to take place in New York, az the famous Horton law goes into effect Saturday. The men fought in the presence of ten thousand wild spectators and were fast and furi ous. Hhe battle was the cleanest aud most scientific ever fought in this country. Both men were quick as lightning on their feet and with their arms and II is said that majority of the spectators present never saw the knockout blows, il was done go quickly. In the first and second rounds neither man showed fight, but some pretty spar ring aud fast work was done by each. The betting was 100 to 70 on Gorbett at the ringside, but bets W ere bard to find.
 In Pine Bluff t ere was much in- terest manifested in the scrap. The fight by rounds was received at the Bud weiser by Jno. E. Wells over a Postal wire and there were numbers of sports on hand. No betting was done there as every sport with any experience at all, wanted the Cor bett cad Of the wager, while the Mccoy admirers were afraid to back their judgment.
 Several hundred local sports also heard the fight called off at Holland < Lamnert's roof garden theatre. Betting was also slow at thls place. a few email wagers being made. The Western Union wire WAR used at that place.
 Pine Bluffians. as whole were disappointed with McCoy at the showing he made with Corbett. He put up good fight, but it was tHouSnl ho Woulu last leu UT t"euty rounds-ten rounds at the very least.
 Sever blows over McCoy's heart, sent there in quick succession by wonderful Jim, did the work. Cor bett has improved wonderfully In strength aud his hitting power was demonstra ted last light.
