You hear these words every day; as

Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis,
whose portrait we publish, writes that
she suffered for two years with bear

all of which was caused by falling and
inflammation of the womb, and after

The Sheep States.

"To-day the seat of the sheep-rearing
industry of the country has shifted
from the Middle West to the plateau
region between the Rockies and the
Sierras. Ohio is still doing very we'll
in the business, with nearly 100000
head, but she has dropped from first
to fourth in the list of mutton pro-
ducing States. New Mexico is at the
head, with more than 100000; Mon
tana has nearly as many, while Wyo-
ming leads Ohio by a few hundred
thousand head Idaho closely follows
Ohio in the rating. Oregon, California
and Texas each have about 2,5O0,0O0
sheep. The Navajo Indians Of Arizona
are a material factor in the wool mar
ket The tribe is wealthy through its
fiocks. The tribesmen are believed to
own little short of 100000 head, the
care of the f1ockS and the weaving of
wool being almost the sole occupation
of the $4,000 Indians. Singular to re-
late, only q small part Of the Navajo
wool crop is worked up at home into
the wonderful blankets that have made
the tribal name famous. Only the
coarser and cheaper blankets are now
made of the native wool The up-to-
date Navajo weaver uses Germantown
yarn and diamond dyes."-Captain ].

been obliged to surrender. He. said:

LOVES PLATFORM.

What's the party? Call it Fatej
Cupid is the candidate;
Hymen is his running mate;
Love the balance of the slate.
This our platform-we deplofe
ANY useless lovers war;
AnneXationists are we,
Hearts united, our decree.
AS for syndicates we must
Say monopolies are just,
For each lover will declare
That exclusive love is lair.
Yet in summer-sea-shore plan
Sixteen maids to every man
But we change the ratio,
At the falling of the snow.
Open door and open gate,
Friendly Pa, we advocate;
Monros Doctrine? Yes, we mean.
Parents should not intervene.
Cast your votes without delay,
Polls are open every day,
Open early, open lale.
. Come elect our candidate.
