do we see this illustrated In city and

selected to be the directing force In
a campaign they cannot, seemingly,
forgive the party for having dared to

love to gather when they can find list

bled for the party. Then to think that
they should be discarded for some

A BOOMERS PLEA,

Dear Landlord:
We, the undersigned, beseech you.
In behalf OF those we love,
Give us warmth and give us comfort
Ere we pass to realms above.
Either gaseous or liquid,
Any kind Of heat win do,
Do not leave us cold and freezing
All this stormy weather through.
Gentle Landlord, please remember
That the time is drawing nigh.
When our overcoats and legglngs
Scarce win keep us warm and dry.
And to shiver here in silence,
with no warmth to dry our clothes.
Would be death To all your tenants.
Who like martyrs, calmly froze
Give us warmth and give us comfort
Build fire, oh. build a fire,
Start the furnace in the cellar
Ere our feeble lives expire,
DO not leave us here to perish,
Though the price Of coal be high
For the sake OF those who love us
We would rather live than die.

CROKER'S
TWO BOYS
Driven From Cornell by Curl.
Ousity.Seekers.

New York, Oct. 16.--Richard Croker,
jr, and his brother, Herbert Croker,
the sons of Richard Croker, have left
Cornell university which they entered
at the beginning of the scholastic
year.
When the Croker boys went to Cor
nell it was reported in some OF the
newspapers that they had taken with
them two prize English bulldogs,
Bromley Crib, valued at $4,000, and
Rodney Stone, valued at $4,000. As
a matter of fact, the boys did not take
their dogs with them, The boys in
tended to pursue their college course
like any other students at the univer-
sity and expected that they would be
treated as other students at Cornell
are.
Instead Of this, they were subjected
to petty annoyances, which were so
frequent that they were unable even
to get enough sleep. The most extrav-
agant stories were circulated in regard
to the manner in which the boys lived.
They were described as having horses
and hounds, and all sorts Of things.
One of the things which happened
frequently cost the boys great deal
of sleep. Aged agriculturalists from
the back districts would hitch up their
horses after they had finished their
days work and drive to Ithaca for
the purpose Of looking at the pets
which the Crokers were alleged to
keep. The result was that they were
knocked out of bed at all hours of the
night by curious country folk, who
demanded that the dogs be produced,
and who questioned the boys as though
they We're the proprietors Of circus
side show.
The boys have returned to New York
and it is said that Richard Croker, jr.,
has about given up all idea of having
a college education, and that he will
enter some business in New York with
in few days. Herbert Croker's plans
are not known.

number Of children are born too weak
to make an effectual struggle for life,
and that many mothers are unable to
nourish the children born to them. Back
Of these facts there is the inevitable
story OF womanly weakness, the pre-
natal period spent in misery of mind and
anguish of body; the period of waiting
which should by al the laws of nature
be one of hopeful, happy expectation,
changed to period of shrinking and
dread. 1t is impossible that the mother
can give her child what she herself does
not possess. If she lacks health for one
she cannot have it for two. If she is
nervous, fearful, suffering, it is folly to
expect that her child will be nlirthful
and hardy. AS a rule weak and sick
women will have weak and sickly
children.
MATERNAL LOVE HELPLEss.
Maternal love is helpless in such cir
cunstances. The woman who would
drain her heart dry to give her child
strength can only sit in irnpotent help
lessness and watch the little flower fade.
But science does more than provide an
incubator for the weakling baby. 1t
finds the means to make weak women
strong. 1t gives the mother strength to
give her child, and makes the incubator
unnecessary. 1t restores the natural
balance of health SO that the days of
waiting become once more days of
happy expectation, and maternity Is ap-
preached with the supreme confidence
which comes from the possession of per-
feet health. In this field of scientific
help for women DR.. r. " Pierce stands
pre-eminent by his success. His great
medicine for women, uFavorite Prescrip-
tion," has been the means of health
to thousands of mothers giving them
strength in the days of waiting, making
the baby's advent practically painless
and by increasing the flow of the nutri-
tive secretions, enabling the mother to
nurse her child.
