Now and again you see. two women
passing down the street who look IKE
sisters. You are astonished to learn that

they are mother and daughter, and you
realize that a woman at forty or forty
five ought to be at her finest and fairest.
Why isn't it soa
The general health of woman is so in
timately associated with the local health
of the essentially feminine organs that
there can be no rich cheek and round
form where there are facilitating drains,
and female weakness. Women who have
suffered from these troubles have found
prompt relief and cure in the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It gives
vigor and vitality to the organs of wom-
anhood. It clears the complexion, bright
ems the eyes and reddens the cheeks.

contained in "Favorite Prescription.

and Fl. L. O'BrYan to Kansas City
Thursday with two loads of stock.
After arriving in the city and dispos-
ing Of the cattle, they proceeded up
town where the met Cutie and Little

calling each other few appropriate
names, the four young things went up
to Gukenheimer's free lunch stand

lows: Zone E. M. Krause, answering
to the name of 'Tillie, middle aged,

known as 'Billygoat, is five feet, ten
inches high, wild looking eyes, very
peculiar laugh. Any information as
to their whereabouts will be thankful

The celebration held in this city
July 4th, was great success. The
parade was formed on the corner of
Fourth and Central, opposite McNam
ara's chicken yard and moved towards
the grounds promptly at ten O'Clock,
led by a few old members of the Fog
Horn band. The parade was compos-
ed of several interesting features
plain druuks, floats ETC., one repre-
senting a Chinese sail-boat and man
ned by crew of monkeYs;T. X. Joyce's
company Of submarine cavalry is also
worthy of mention. Upon arriving
at the grounds they proceeded to take
part in the different amusements.
The dance in the evening was indulg-
ed in by few natives. 1t was ia
miliar scene between the dances to see
couples eating candy off the same stick.
Owing to an unusual number of light
ming bugs the fireworks were dismal
failure. The different committees
are to be praised for their work, es-
pecially the committee on reception
composed of Mr.. Adlia Highwood and
j. B. Walker. Late in the evening a
most serious accident was prevented
by the timely arrival uf Capt. Joyce.
1t seems that private Mack, being in
a hilarious state of mind, resolved to
desert, so mounting his horse he
started westward, but in crossing the
railroad tracks was thrown from his
horse, and when picked up by the
Captain was in an Unconscious condi-
tion. They had just removed him
from the track when the flyer passed.

on the canteens of this city for sell

A mistress before going out told her
negro cook to fry some Saratoga chips
in olive oil. The first thing that greet

an unrecognizable a9d awful odor that
penetrated every Granny of the fat.

found the chips sizzling away in n

passed but the latter called. and the

him out.

Paid For His Joke.

The editor is fond of Il joke and has
the good sense to appreciate one at his
own expense. y few weeks ago he
was walking with a friend, and at the
corner of busy thoroughfare he saw a
dilapidated looking Hibernian standing
at the opposite corner gazing listlessly
into vacancy.
Watch me surprise this old fellow,
said he to his friend. Look right into
his face and see if it won't be study"
\ second later they were abreast of
the son of Erin, and the editor pulled
out silver coin and said as he thrust
it into the mans hand: Heres that
half a crown L owe you. Now, don't
go round any more telling people that
/ don't pay my debts"
For a second the mans face was a
study. He was amazed at the unlock
ed for kindness, and then, as its pur-
port dawned on him, he raised his hat
and said: Heaven bless yer 'onneri
I'll never say another word ag'in ye.
But" and his eyes twinkled merrily.
'are ye sure it wasn't a crown ye
owed me?'
The friend roared: "Oh. pay the man
in full Don't try to beat him out of a
paltry half crown" The Irishman got
his crown, but the editor no longer
pays his debts at sight now.-London
