WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostration.

II you are dangerously sick what Is
the first duty of your physician? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, s. what is the cause ?S
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration- It came
upon you SO quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

Yes
You'd been imbibing a little and
we're noisy. but still you wanted to see
the play. SO you were unfortunate in
being thrown out"
That's right, but how am I doubly
unfortunate?"
Your second bit of bad luck" ex-
planned the lawyer, Lies in the fact
that you are of the wrong color to get
damages. Now, if you were a negro
we could trot out the civil rights bill
and make fine case on the contention
that the alleged reason given for put
ting you out was a mere subterfuge;
but, being a white man, / guess there
is nothing for you to do but to make
up your mind that you were treated as
you deserved and let it go at that
You see, there are some privileges
that are denied you because of your
color"

BARRE, W., MAY 2S, 1901

The Reporter for this month makes
the following comment in its letter
from Barre: sit is unfortunate that
some samples Of Barre monumental
work are not to be on exhibition at
the Pan-American Exposition. Anon
ument like that erected to the men,
DRY of Robert Burns in Barre, would
attract a great deal Of attention from
people coming from all parts Of the
world, and would show what our gran
lite is capable Of being worked into
under the hands Of skillful laborers.
A few good monuments would be much
better than a large number of lnfe.
rior zones. One of our prominent man
ufacturers remarked, as w passed by
the Burns monument this evening,
that he had visited many of The large
cemeteries in this country but had
never een a monument 50 satisfactory
in all it's details as the Burns: we men
tion this to show that it is quality
rather than quantity that is wanted
in an exhibit, should one be made"
The above is perfectly true. 1t is
very unfortunate that such IN over
sight should have been permitted.
The granite business needs adver-
Using as much as every other
business. If Barre granite is to con-
tinue to compete successfully with
that of other places it must be placed
before the world in every possible
manner. 1t holds the same position
to the purchasing world as the Barre
stores hold to the people who reside in
this section Of Vermont. Business
can be secured in no other way than
by advertising. No matter how good
the quality Of an article may be or
how cheap the price, you can't sell it
unless you find a purchaser and you
will not succeed in providing that
necessary factor unless you let him
know what you have to sell. 1t is
certainly to be hoped that II a move
ment has not already been made to
put Barre granite on exhibition at
the Buffalo Exposition, that some Of
the granite dealers will take the nat
ter in hand.

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-02-08
HELPFROM ELPASO
Gratefully Received, and Our
People Ae Assured That
the Home is For
All Alike.

The Herald has received the follow
ing letter from DIR. r. c. Buckner.
whose splendid efforts have at last
borne fruit in the successful conduct
of model home for the orphans of
Texas. The Buckner home was started
by DIR. Buckner, and has been carried
on by him through nineteen years of
trial until now he has been able to Sc
cure some measure of relief from the
strain and burden under which he has
been working. The home owns in its
own name over $500. 900 worth of prop
erty, and while the home is dependent
entirely on voluntary contributions of
its friends, it is self supporting. and
its work is continually broadening as
the income becomes larger The home
needs an income of about $4,000 a
year, and has no endowment fund.
hence it is necessary that the friends
of the orphans and the Buckner home
all over the state contribute generous
ly, in money, provisions, clothing fur
niture, periodicals. and such things.
The letter follows:

GREAT SUCCESS
Is Met by the Organizers in
their Effort to Establish
the Carnival as a Per-
manent Feature.

The carnival association is meeting
with wonderful success in the reorgan-
ization of the new association and il
now looks like everybody in the city
will be members of the association.
When the project was first started
the promoters only hoped to get one
hundred men to put in $40 each but ap-
plications for stock have been coming
SO rapidly that the stock will now
have to be raised to $4,000 with 200 mem
bers.
The application for the charter has
not been sent to Austin yet on account
of SO many new subscribers coming in
but 1T is thought that the papers will
be sent off next week. The members of
the association feel highly pleased with
the way things have turned and now
that there is $500 in the treasury and
$4,000 to be added from the sale of
shares the association will begin on
the next carnival with over $4,000 in
the treasury. To this amount they ex-
pect to add, over ten thousand dollars
and spend something like $4,000 on
the next entertainment.
Already the outside world under
stands that FL Paso will have a car
nival next January and it will be
greater and grander in every way than
the one this winter. This will be to
the advantage of the association as ev-
cry show and speciality in the country
will know it in advance and make their
arrangements to be here. 1t is also un-
derstood that the railroads are thor
oughly satisfied with the results OF the
last affair and will be ready to give a
much lower rate to the next show.
