Lovely W oman.

''She scorns all advice in the selec
ton of a husband, but takes two
other women along to help her pick
out hat. The less actual comfort
to be obtained from thing the more
enjoyment q woman gets out OF its
possession. At IL she is q young
woman; at 25, if still unmarried, she
is a girl. She will face the grim
specter of death without tremor
and swoons at the sight of mouse.
She is the dearest thing in all the
world and the most aggraVating.
She is as she is, and that's all there is
to do about it. The only man who
ever fully understands woman is
the man who understands that he
dosen't understand her and has got
sense enough to let it 60 at that"

Telluride, Col, Nov. 20.-What
is likely to prove the most disastrous
accident that has ever occurred in a
metallic mine in Colorado, resulted
today from FIRE, which burned the
buildings at the mouth of the bullion
tunnel, through which the Smnggler
Union mine is worked and under
which filed with the mine with
deadly gases and smoke. It is i'm
possible to give even an approximate
of the loss of life, but it is believed
it will reach nearly, if not quite 100.
Twenty-two are known to have per-
ished.
The fire started early this morning

from defective hue in the bund
house at the mouth of the tunnel. L
quickly communicated with the other
buildings. The dense smoke from
the burning converter house, which
was saturated with oil began pouring
into the tunnel which with the shafts
CT the mine acted ss chimney.
The day shift of 200 men had just
gone on duty and before they could
be warned of their danger the levels
and the slopes were filed with gas
As soon as the men became aware
of their danger, efforts were made to
reach the surface through various
exits and about half of those in the
mine escaped. 1t will be impossible
to ascertain the number still in the
mine for several hours, on account
of the gas in some of the levels.
Seventeen Of the % bodies found
were found on the seventh level.
Between IS and 80 men we're work
ing on the ninth level aud this has
not yet been explored. Oo account
of the gas and smoke, these levels
could not be entered because of the
danger of sufocation for II hours
after the flames started.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused BY

or apoplexy are cften the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the alburnen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
