HOW OFTEN

We hear ladies say %! 1 have no
time to do my own sewing" We
wish to say to these ladies that by the
use of the Diamond Garment Cutter
| System, they can cut and haste and
| fit dress in the same time it takes to
hunt some one else to do the work,
besides getting a much better and
easier fitting garment than can pos
sibly be made with any Of the old
fashioned models or chart systems.
How many advantages to be de-
rived from knowledge of this sys-
tenn and the satisfaction of knowing
that the dress question is settled for
ever.
By the use of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter any lady can fit any
kind or style of garment without any
trouble or worry.
No refitting, no rehasting, no trying
on half a dozen times, but ninety
nine times in a hundred perfect
success.
No special talent is required for our
methods more than is required to
learn the multiplication table and
any one who can read and write can
learn the Diamond Garment Cutter.
We employ special instructors out
side of the class rooms, who will call
at your residence and fully explain to
you this system of garment cutting
and fitting. This is one of our meth
DDS of advertising and it does not
matter whether you wish to take the
class instruction or not the eXplana-
ton will interest any lady who de-
sires perfect lifting garments.

By means of costly appliances found
nowhere else west of Chicago, the
doctors are enabled to bring healing
agents directly to the diseased parts,
thereby producing cures in cases that
have tried ali other means and failed.
The best physicians frankly admit
that this is the only way of perma-

with this honor IA beautiful little

DEATH OF MRS. WALKER.
After Long Suffering from Cancer
IA Christian Woman Passes Away.

Mrs. John l.. Walker died at Co
lumbus hospital last Friday after
moo of lancer. She has been a
sufferer from this disease for more
than three years, in which time she
has suffered more than it seems poss-
ible for any human being to stand.
Although the news of her death
brought deep sorrow to the hearts of
many, the event nevertheless
brought relief to the intimate friends
who knew that death alone could
end the suffering.
On Saturdays train went to Great
Falls Fred, Joseph, Arthur and
Chester Walker, children of the de-
ceased, the other members of the
family having previously gone, to
attend the funeral. She was buried
in the Catholic cemetery at that city.
Mrs. Walker was we'll known at
Neihart where she has lived with the
family since 1892, and many persons
can testify to the deeds of kindness
and the spirit of charity which stand
to her credit. She leaves a hus-
band and seven children to mourn
her loss.
Deceased was born in Joliet, Que
bee, - years ago. Her maiden
name was Miss Agnes Monjin. She
was married at Oswego, N. Y, in
1878 to John L. Walker, and has al.
ways since been devoted to her hus.
band and family. They resided il
Calumet, Mich, for rs years, com.
ing to Neihart in 1892.
On Monday the family returned
to Neihart, after having attended
the funeral. The entire community
extends them the profoundest sym.
pathv in their sorrow.

Hoy a Lion ChnrgeH.

A lions first signs of anger are as
follows: Its tail rapidly twists from
side to side, the bottom slightly raising
and the black tassel ct the end beating
the air; it lowers it's head more than
usual and growls, at intervals showing
it's teeth. Then It's voice becomes loud
er, it roars, shows its teeth and lowers
its ears, the movements of the tail in
creasing all the time,
At the time of charging-that is, at
the height of its anger-the tail rises in
the air until it is almost vertical, the
black tassel continues to move, the ears
are tlattened completely, and the ami
nal comes toward you at a slow trot,
then at a gallop, and finally springs
forward with open mouth and extend
ed claws.
Sometimes 1t shows these various
symptoms without charging, restrained
by prudence, but it never charges with
out showing them. When the tail rises,
the hunter can bring his rifle to the
shoulder and await his opportunity.
In hunting, a man who is on his guard
is worth four.
a charge is extremely dangerous, al
most always fatal when unexpected,
either because of the dense vegetation
or other causes, but if you see the ami
NAL getting ready flight is useless.
Stand your ground. The only thing to
do is to keep cool and trust in your
weapon. If you have no confidence in
yourself it is prudent to avoid measur.
ing your strength against these ami
mails.
