ner nurt, could there II
be aught sadder then ~
that she should be led by very Love into
the ambush where Death, arrow OH string,
waits to plant his deadly shaft in her
breast? Yet so it is. Time and again
Love proves to be Deaths decoy. And
often when the grim archer fails to iu-
flict mortal hurt, he leaves the suffering
woman to creep through life like a
broken-winged bird.
Why does love lead to suffering
Many woman has asked that question
piteously and passionately. She has for
saken father and mother to cleave unto
her husband in the belief that so she was
achieving woman's highest happiness.
But instead of happiness she has found
misery struggled with it until struggle
seemed useless, and at last has come to
accept her misery as the ucross" laid up
on women who love and marry.
There is no real reason why almost
every wife and mother should not enjoy
sound health. The causes Of her misery
lie in diseases which affect the delicate,
womanly organism. Disagreeable drains
are carrying away the vital force. In
fiainmation has lighted its fire for slow
torment. liberation is eating into the
tender tissues. Female weakness is
making life daily Inartyrdom. Is it
any wonder that the nerves are racked,
that appetite fails, and night, which
should bring rest, brings only restless
and troubled dreams?
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the womanly diseases which undermine
the general health. II dries the drains.
puts out the fire Of inflammation, heals
the liberated tissues and cures female
weakness. In a word, il makes weak
women strong and sick women we'll.
"Favorite Prescription" is true tenn
perance medicine. 1t Itcontains no alcohol,
neither opium, cocaine, or other narcotic.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce by letter, free OF
charge. All correspondence strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential. In a
little more than thirty years DR.. Pierce,
assisted by his staff of nearly score of
physicians, has treated and cured over
half million women. Write, without
fear or fee, to DIR. r. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y.

Racine, Wis, Dec. 17-George To1f-
son, a morphine fiend, after attempting
to murder his mother Mrs. Jorgen
Frederickson, tried to end his own life.
Physicians fear that the wounds re-
ceived by the mother will prove fatal.
TOlfson, who is about 80 years of age
learned that his relatives desired thar
he be examined as to his sanity. He
visited the home of his aged mother
and there had supper. After the meal
he went into the WOodshed, and, secur-
ing a Ratchet, returned to the room
where his mother was seated and then
struck her on the head with the instrll-
ment, cutting a cash six incres long
and exposing lie brain.
The screams of Mrs. Frederickson
attracted the attention of neighbors
They broke into the house and dis
armed TOlfsOn. Immediately after the
assault he drew knife from his peck
ct and cut his wrists in many places.
He is in the county Jail in a critical

After Deciding the Autonomy Question
md Re-Electing the Old Officers.
Scranton. Pa, Dec. 16.-The Fedora
ton of Labor, in the last minutes of
Saturday afternoons session put itself
on record ON two questions which have
been agitating the delegates, namely
trade autonomy and socialism. The
special committee on autonomy recon-
mended that where there are only a
few craftsmen in a large industrial
concern the best interests of all would
be conserved by the few joining the
paramount organization in such estab-
lishment and the organization of sub
divided crafts into district and national
trade councils, where ell disputes
should be settled.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee, to the surprise of many, were
unanimously adopted without a single
remark being made by any one. The
report antagOnized socialism by vigOr-
ously UNFOLDING trades unionism, and
the Socialist delegates did not antagon~
ize the report. All the old officers
were reelected.
At the night session many reports
were presented and disposed of, and
the convention adjourned sine die at
1915 a. m. Yesterday

Fire Among the Redyyoods.

Perhaps the most startling pheno-
menon Of the fire was the quick death
of childlike sequoias only a century or
two ago, says John Muir in The Allan
tic. In the midst of the other compare
lively slow and steady fire work one Of
these tall, beautiful saplings, leafy and
branchy, would be seen blazing up sud-
denly all in one heaving, booming, pas
sionate fame rea ching from the ground
to the top of the tree and fifty to
hundred feet or more above it, with a
smoke column bending forward and
streaming away OH the upper free flow
ing wind.
To burn these green trees strong
fire of dry wood beneath them is re-
quired to send up current of air hot
enough to distill inf1ammable gases
from the leaves and sprays; then, in
stead of the lower limbs gradually
catching fire and igniting the next and
next in succession, the whole tree
seems to explode almost simultaneous
ly, and with awful roaring and thrOb-
bling round tapering flame shoots up
200 or 800 feet, and in a second or two
is quenched, leaving the green spire a
black dead mast bristled and roughen-
ed with down curling DOughs.
