A heavens Toilet.

1t Is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with, instead OF sitting up with his
large, fiat, ribbed tail protruding behind
him. he tucked 1t forward between his
hind legs and sat upon It,. Then with
his hand he carefully combed his long
hair. using both hands ut the same time
There were many places, however, that
could not be reached in this way. for
his arms are very short and his body
very large. so he combed these other.
wise inaccessible places with his hind
feet, using iL'st one and then the other.
The entire operation was performed
with the utmost deliberatiOn and care
and occupied more than quarter Of nm
hour, SO that by the time 1t was COM
pleted daylight had almost vanished.
My presence did not appear to disturb
him In the least, though ] sat ON the
ground within three feet OF him that

tudes, for 1t Is not often one has IN

Natural Rights.

The woman suffragists will present
their claims. before the Legislature for
recognition and it is well that each mem
Der prepare himself to meet the issue as
it arises.
Already women vote in four states OF
this union, viz: Colorado Idaho. Wyoming
and Utah.
This issue will not down at mans bid
ding. Like many other questions now up
for consideration, it is on the forward
march, and unless man, in his imaginary
greatness aud assumed superior wisdom,
shall be able to present greater reasons
for denying their request in the future
than those he has been using for a CEN
fury, the franchise will be granted much
sooner than the most Jealous advocate
anticipates.
Secretary Long, who addressed our
people here during the late campaign, also
visited his daughters, both of whom are
voters in Colorado, As reported in the
Boston Journal, his observations were as
follows:
prior to the election there was no I'M
due excitement; the great mass of men
were about their ordinary business. There
were some women, as there were great
many men. who were talking politics and
acting on committees for securing the
registration of voters. On election day |
was at the polls at one of the wards
where there were more than a 1000 votes
registered, and where 500 actually voted
Nothing could be more orderly or bet
ter conducted. Men and women lined up
in the usual fashion taking their turn at
the ballot box, and afterl depositing their
votes went about their business. A few
women and few men--perhaps more
men than women-were active in bring
ing voters to the poles. But there was
nothing to jar the most sensitive specta-
tor.
On the contrary it was the exercise in a
becoming way and in fine spirit of the
interest v hich every citizen, man or
won q, Gus ut to feel in such an import
ant even. as Presidential election. The
tendency is to elevate and broaden and
not to degrade or impare.
With such backing and support, our
lady friends will go armed in their fight
with our mountain solons.
Where did man get the right to say to
woman that she should not enjoy al the
rights which he claims for himself
When this question can be Intelligent
ly answered then, and not until then, can
man say TO woman,you shall not have the

When the greatest of modern ply
clans, after years of practice and close,
scientific study, gave to the science of
medicine the most wonderful remedy of
the present day, host Of imitators sprung
up.
No sooner was it announced that posi-

Prof. Phelps, OF Dartmouth, and physi-
clans everywhere welcomed Paines celery
compound as the most-to-b be- desired dis
covery OF a time when modern ways of
working and living had begun to multiply
diseases that arise from impaired nerves
and impure blood
When great public demand arose for
this remedy from one end of the country
to another, at once, as in every such case,
a lot of cheap fellows began to try to i'm
pose upon people one and another trsde

worthless, claiming Tor them the unex-

British" Moran. who had the entire
side OF his face, nose and eve blown away
by shot gun in the hand of Charles
Young, is, contrary to the predictions of
the physicians and all those who have seen
him. still clinging to life. For severa!
days after the shooting occurred il was
thought that it would be only few days
until death would come and that it was
lmposs bic for him torecover. That he is
alive today is due entirely to his remarka
bic nerve and constitution. Had he been
a weaker man his life after he was shot
would have been short.
Although Moran will be terribly dis
figured, the indications for the past week
have been that he will survive. The
swelling is slowly extending upward
toward the brain, however, and he is yet
in great danger of succumblng.

rheumatism, diseases of the kidneys, re-
gained their health, and strength, and
buoyancy by the well-advised use of
Paine's celery compound, AS great
leader and writer in Boston publicly de-
clared one day, Paine's celery compound
had proven itself to be as much better
than all the ordinary nervnes. sarsapar-
illas. and trade preparations as the dla-
mond is brighter than ordinary glass.
From the thousands of grateful persons
unsolicited testimonials began to pour in
from those whom Paine's celery compound
had benefited The wealthy and the
poor, the famous and the comparatively
unknown. sent to the proprietors OF the
remedy, to the newspapers, to their ply
sicians, to their friends, the glad news
that here at last they had found remedy
that made them themselves ain.
And the foolish fellows with their silly
nostrums, starting up here and there every
year, discovered as often as they tried it,
that, when persons health is at stake,
he or she will not be imposed upon.
Paine celery compound was in greater
demand last year than the year before;
the demand this spring is greater than
for all the so-called spring remedies COM
bined. People insist upon having the one
remedy that does them good, makes them
strong, repairs their shattered strength.
They call for Paine s celery compound!

physic ian has often been told, and is ia
mliar to most readers
Prof. Phelps was bern in Connecticut
and graduated from the military school at
Norwich, VT. He studied medicine with
Prof. Nathan Smith, of New Haven
Conn, land graduated in medicine at
Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence, First ne was
elected to the professorship OF anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont University
Next he was appointed lecturer on mate
ria medica and medical botany in Dart
mouth College The next year he was
chosen professor of the chair then vacat-
ed by Prof. Robby and occupied the
chair, the most important one in the coun-
try, at the time when he first formulated
his most remarkable prescription.
Today Paine's celery compound stands
without an equal for feeding exhausted
nerves and building up the strength OF
the body. 1t cures radically and perma-
nently. The nervous prostration and gen
eral debility from which thousands of wo-
men suffer so long that il finally gets TO

spirits follow the use of Paines celery
compound
Paine's celery compound is the most
remarkable medical achievement of the
last fifty years.
1t makes people well. 1t is the one
true specific recognized and prescribed
TODAY by eminent practitioners for diseases
arising from debiliated nervous system.
Prof. Phelps gave to his profession pos
tive cure for sleeplessness, wasting
strength, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver COM
plant, neuralgia, rheumatism, all nervous
diseases and kidney troubles. For all
such complaints Paine's celery compound
has succa sded again and again where
everything else has failed.
1t is rs harmless IS it is good, and it
was the universe advice of the medical
profession that the compound be placed
where the general public could secure it,
and thousands Of people have year after
year proven the wisdom of this good adj
advice.
Only truly great and effective remedy
could continue, as Paine's celery com
pound has done, to hold its unrivalled
place in the estimation of the ablest
physicians and of the thousands of busy
men and women whose oriy m ans
judging is from the actual results in their
own home or among their friends. No
remedy was ever SO highly recommended
because none ever accomplished so much.
