tired all the time. l do not know what
is the matter with me-"
You hear these words every day; -
often as you meet your friends just 70
often are these words repeated More
than likely you speak the same signifi-

do feel far from well most of the time.
Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis,
whose portrait we publish, writes that
she suffered for two years with bear
ing-down pains, headache, backache,
and had all kinds of miserable feelings,
all of which was caused by falling and
inflammation of the womb, and after
doctoring with physicians and numer-
ous medicines she was entirely cured BY

lnterpo.e, l: tween Two ships and Pre-
vents Collision.
Captain Burch of the British ship
CaWdol. which arrived late Sunday
night from Newcastle, n S. W., tells
of a narrow escape his vessel had from
colliding near the Australian coast
with the schooner Golden Shore, says
the San Francisco Call. A hurricane
was raging when the ships nearly
came together and big wave which
came along at the opportune moment
averted a disaster. The Golden Shore
is owned in San Francisco and was
lumber laden. The CaWdor was in bal
last and a gale arose. In few hours
its fury became terrible. Capt. Burch
soon realized the folly of sailing IN
such sea and every yard OF canvas
was stripped from the masts. There
was nothing to do but drift, and this
the ship did for some time. Soon the
bare masts Of the schooner Golden
Shore hove In sight, she also drifting
rapidly in the storm. AS the ships
neared one another their positions be-
came perilous. The terrified crews
were unable to control them and look
ed for nothing but the sinking OF one
or both of the vessels. The CaWdor
bore straight down toward the big
schooner with force that meant des-
tructiOn. But few seconds more and
the vessels would have crashed togeth-
er had not something occurred that
filled the sailors with wonder. A great
wave, as if conscience-stricken rose
between the craft and turned the nose
of the Cawdor just enough to prevent
the crash that seemed unavoidable
She just missed the Golden Shore. So
close were the vessels as the ship fled
broadside by the schooner that one
could have jumped from the CaWdor
to the Golden Shore, Captain Burch
says. When the vessels slipped by one
another a cheer went up from 1o0
voices. The Golden Shore drifted on,
but in the distance it was seen that
she had turned completely around. She
is bound Ter Puget Sound and is ex-
pected to arrive there shortly, after
which She will come to this port. 1t
is not known to what extent she suffer
ed from the storm. The Cawdor was

THE PALACE AT SANTA FE
Was Built Three Hundred Years Ago and
Has u Great History.

The Denver News comments as fol-
lows on the movement to have the old
government palace at Santa Fe turned
over to the Smithsonian institutions:
"A bill has been introduced in the
New Mexican Legislature ceding to the
national government Santa Fes his
toric old palace" on condition that it
be made an archaeological branch of
the Smithsonian institution. This
would insure the preservation of the
ancient building, an object mucn to be
desired. 1t is the Oldest structure of
it's kind within the borders of the
United States. and about it cluster
historic memories closely allied with
the annals of the trans-MiSsOuri west.
Faneuil hall at Boston and 1ndepend
ence hall at Philadelphia are modern
structures compared to it.
1.-The palace at Santa te is the old
government building and residence of
the Spanish viceroys 1t was con
structed in 153S-long before the land
ing of the pilgrims or the settlement
of Jamestown. " thin its walls eXpc

Onate went forth in 1879 on his expc-
dition to the eastern plains. In one of
it's rooms Penalosa, in 1864. shut up
the commissary general of the inquisi
ton. Within this palace the Spanish
made their last stand against the pu-
eblo Indian rebellion of 1850. On its
plaza the victorious Pueblo chiefs
burned the Spanish archives and
church ornaments. At its doors twelve
years later De Vargas gave thanks for
his recapture of the city from the In
dians. 70 this palace. on March 3.
1907, was brought Lieutenant Zebulon
Pike, who had been captured in the
San Luis valley for intruding upon
Spanish dominions. When General
Kearney captured the city i'll 1916 the
palace became his headquarters, and
from its roof he addressed the people
Of the city and informed them that
New Mexico was annexed to the
United States. 1t was the official res
idence of all the governors of the ter
ritOry. and in one of its rooms Gen
eral Lew Wallace wrote Ben Hur.'
"Such are few of the more promi-
nent Of the historical events with
which the old building is associated
The palace is now 3O3 years old and
with its antique Moorish architecture
is in itself a relic worthy of preserva
tion.'

CAmeFs Hair Bru, ,hes.

Contrary to the belief of most people
the camels hair brush used by artists
has nothing OF the camel in it. There
was a time when real camel's hair was
used for the purpose. The ship of the
desert, however. has long been super
seeded by the homely little squirrel
Not only is squirrels hair very much
less costly, but it is better, softer more
pliabIe and far more durable. At the
present day it is doubtful if you could
find pound of camel's hair in all the
brush factories in this country. 1t is
the European squirrel that furnishes
the hair for the brushes, the covering
of the American squirrel being too
furry and soft for the purpose.
