These are sweet words, but how much
pain and suffering they used to 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 lniment to be
applied externally. 1t 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. If

THE sHAH'S CIRCUIT.
Europe and Visit All the
Royal Courts.

The shah of Persia, having been four
years on the throne, wishes to see the
world, and has planned long journey.
He will visit ST. Petersburg, Berlin, vi
emma, Paris, London and Constantine
pie, and will be entertained at all the
courts. 1t will be costly journey, and
the shah is not reputed to be rich; but
his credit is good, especially in St.
Petersburg, where the treasury is al
ways ready to make advances to the
ruler of a vassal state whose territory
Russia covets, says Youths Companion.
Muzaffar-ed-din, the shah. is nearly
so years old. He looks Younger than
he is, for there are no traces of gray in
his jet-black hair and long, dropping
mustache, and there are no lines on
his narrow forehead. His eyes are soft
and dreamy, the contour of his face is
regular and his smile is that of an in
dolent and weak man who can be easily
amused.
He is a ruler without strength of
character, who is believed to have Sc
cured the throne through Russian sup
port when his older brother had a
clearer right to it, and would have re-
sisted foreign influence more strenu-
ously. He is pleasure-loving sover-
eign who likes to go about everything
in the easiest way.
Great results may follow the shah's
circuit of European travel. An empire
larger than France and Germany to-
gether may be opened to European
commerce and American railway build
ing; and Russia may find herself on the
Persian gulf and on the frontier of In
dia, while Englishmen are asking
whether Lord Salisbury was really
dreaming when he declared that there
was room enough for all in Asia

FOLLOWS STRANGE BUSINESS.
This Nevada Woman shoots wild
Horses to Gain Herself n
Livelihood.

Mrs. Maud Whiteman, of Humboldt
New, has stranger occupation than
that OF any ',theI woman I'm the
United States. She shoots wild horses
for their skins and earns about five
dollars a day at it, says western ex-
change. Wild horses have so increased
in numbers in many western states
that they are ruthlessly killed for
their hides, or they would drive cattle
off the ranges and monopolize the best
grazing
Mrs. Whiteman goes hunting always
with her father, Henry Wilman, vet
eran of the Mexican and civil wars,
who lost his ranch in California about
six years ago by financial misfortune
and removed to Nevada.
Father and daughter ride well and
shoot well. 1t is their custom to hitch
their own horses as decoys and hide
in the timber.
When wild horses come up one of
them carefully shoots the leader of
the herd, so as to disable him, but
not kill him. The others scamper
away, but curiosity soon impels them
to return. Then father and daughter
open with their guns and shoot as
many as possible before the herd gets
out of range. The skins are taken off
and dried in sage bushes and them sold
for about two dollars each.
