These are sweet words but how much
pain and suffering they used 10 mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much Of the anguish OF child
birth. Mothers friend Is lniInent to be
applied externally. II Is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles OF the abdomen. 1t gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend Is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. II .

His Lost Love After Many Years

new YORK CRY Especially D.-One OF those
romances usually confined to novels cul-
minated when George A. Grambo, Chief
Quartermaster OF the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
married Mrs. Mamie kruse, widow OF
wealthy glass manufacturer, OF Brooklyn.
For seventeen years the bride had mourned
the death, as she thought, OF her youthful
admirer, and all that time Grambo had
been searching for his sweetheart.
Grambo, who Is thirty-nine years old, and
his bride, who Is thirty-four, were born IN
Hamburg, Germany. She was then Miss
Mamie Hasselbrink. They had planned 70
BIZ married when be returned from cruise
in Chinese waters. The next news that the
girl had OF her fance was the account OF
the wreck OF his ship. He was one OF those
who had been reported lost. It was long
time, though, before he was able. to send
word to his family OF his safety. -

Recently Grambo was sent to the Brook

Waters-Plerce Oil Company Loses In Fed

WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeciaD.-The United
States Supreme Court held that the de-
cision OF the Texas courts against the
waters-Psrce OIL Company, q branch OF
the Stan dard OIL Trust, Is valid one, and
that company has no right to do business
In Texas, its State charter having been for
feited because OF its acts In restriction OF
trade by com mpelling merchants to purchase
from 1t alone, by putting down the priceto
crush competition, then putting 1t up to a
higher figure and by other unlawful acts.
The Waters-P Pierce Oh Company Is Mis-

Louis, and as part OF the Standard OH COM
bination controls the business in Texas,
that State having been assigned to 1t NJ It's
exclusive territory. It got permission to
do business in Texas III 1889, and resisted
the effort to oust 1t through the lower
courts.
It's points in law was that the State OF
Texas allowing forfeiture OF its character
was unconstitutional, that the Texas law
Disseminated by allowing labor to COM

state commerce.
All three objections were held invalid by
the United States Supreme Court, the lust
one on the ground that the Texas decision
did not rule against Interstate commerce,

A MOUNTAIN DISAPPEARS
San Jacinto Peak in California Tum5!es
Into a Sunken Valley.
THE RESULT OF EARTHQUAKES.
An Abyss Swallows a Lofty Mountain
Satanic Disturbances Observed About
Christmas Thought to Have Opened a
subterranean Cavity - Tho Trenors
Still Occur-TaIe Told by Forssters.

san JAc1Nro, Cal. (SpeciaD.-A remark
able natural phenomenon has followed the
recent series of earthquakes that shooS
the southern end OF California. One OF the
giant spurs OF San Jacinto peak has moved
Its millions OF tons Of earth and rock into
the valley beneath, and where the valley
was Is now yawning abyss.
Seemingly It has sunk hundreds OF feet
into cavern, which undoubtedly under.
lies this peak, once four thousand feet
above the sea level. There are jagged
neaks OF sands tone where hills were torn
asnnder: there are standing precipices
where mountains parted company.
The peak was visited on Christmas Day
by Grant L. Taggart, forest supervisor,
and Rouse, a forest ranger. Their horses
were tied at an elevation OF 1000 feet to a
manzanita tree, aad Rouse proceeded to
blaze q trail to be utilized In case OF
mountain fires.
The terrific seismic shock that leveled
San Jacinto's brick buildings occurred az
twenty-five minutes past four O'Clock on
Christmas morning. At ton O'CLOCK tue
foresters saw the peak trembling ana vioret'
ing constantly, with Internal rumbllngs.
buf ma earth tremors had been constantly
recurring since morning the men were not
alarmed.
They left that particular spur after an
hours work. Rouse lives two miles below
the mountain, and althugh shocks were as
freutenf as six each day, he did not re.
member any except one which occurred
six days later at half-past one tnthe alter
noon.
At that time great booming as OF blast.
Ing came from the spur from above, and
every dish In his house was shaken from
tile cupboard shelves. He Is OF opinion
that this WAS the day Of the collapse, for
clouds OF dust could be seen Issuing from
the direction OF the mountain.
The great Christmas earthquake must
have caused the roof Of the subterranean
cavern to split, and the constantly recur-
ring tremors caused the mountain peak to
slip into the cavity. -,
Mr.. Rouse did not revisit the spur until
a few days ago, and when he sought his
manzanita tree 6the head OF the trail to
tie his horse he found that the tree lay up
rooted fifty feet below over the ridge OF
wide crevasse, aud the gently sioping
mountain sides lay In iumbled mass OF
roots, rocks and deep fss ures.
The tremors still occur weekly,
