Our Working
Girls.

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at nome, life is often
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as backache, pains in the lower
limbs and lower part of the stomach,
irregular and painful monthly periods,

faintness, weakness, loss of appetite
and sleep.
The young lady whose portrait we
publish herewith had all these symp-
toms, and in addition leucorrhoea,
and was cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Veg BILE Compound. First, she
wrote a letter to Mrs. Pinkham's lab
oratory at Lynn, Mass, describing her
trouble, received in reply accurate in
structions what to DO to get well, and
now wishes her name used to convince
others that they may be cured as she
was.
The same helping hand, free of
charge or obligation, is extended, to
every ailing woman in America. If
you are sick you are foolish not to get
this valuable advice, it costs you moth
ing, and size is sure to help you. Don't
wait until it is too late write to-day.

PARTY TO EIGHT TAMM.Ny.

The new Democratic party which has
been formed in Greater New York to fight
Tammany win not accomplish anything
1t will make a great deal of noise and
viii show up the rottenness of Tammany,
but that will be about all it will do.
There is no doubt that Tammany is
giving New York City a very expensive
government, and at the same time ii is
not keeping vice within reasonable
bounds. 1t is said that there are 10000
persons on the city pay rolls 1t is not
to be wondered at therefors that the tax
rate is about three times as great as that
of Chicago. though there are some other
cities OF the country where it is fully as
high. The only way to defeat Tammany
is for the Reform Democrats and the Re-
pubhcans to pull together. 1t is impossi-
bic to get them to do that. The Republi-
cans want all Of the offices and so do the
Reform Democrats II the offices were
to be given to the Republicans the city
would not be governed better than it is
now. Philadelphia is under Republican
administration and its government is
worse if possible, than that of New
York.
In the last municipal election in New
York the Reformers and the Republicans
tried to form an alliance and failed. The
spoils of office kept them apart. 1t is a
safe prediction that 1t will keep them
apart in the next contest. Among the
men who join the ranks Of the Reformers
there are too many who have a selfish
purpose in view to permit reform move
ment to be successful No doubt there
are many good men in this movement
against Tammany. and the movement has
merit, but 1t win be 50 loaded down with
place-hunters that it win come to moth
ing.

the purpose of studying the condition of
the people
The Duke and Duchess of Westminster
have returned to Eaton Hall, Cheshire.
Eng The Duchess has a stately, self
possessed manner. She is rather seri-
ous-minded, but that does not prevent
ner being fond of country life and out
door sports. She is a capital whip" and
a fearless rider to hounds. She is good
musician and sings we'll but with a
powerful rather than sweet-toned voice.
In appearance the Duchess of Westmin-
ster presents a great contrast to her sis
ter, Princess Henry of Pless. being dark
er, taller and more fully developed. But
both are equally beautiful.
The story comes from Washington that
the first motion which Mr.. Roosevelt sub
mitted to the Senate was offered by Sen
stor Hoar. and proposed that the Senate
should proceed to the consideration of ex-
ecutive business. With a bow, Mr.
Roosevelt turned toward the Republican
side "All who are in favor will say
Aye" he said. Then, with another
bow, he leaned toward the Democratic
side. IAN who are opposed will say
No." he remarked. All the Democrats
noticed the distinction. 4'Oh, Mr.. Pres

Prohibition in Iowa,

A travelling man named Brown-so
named for the purpose of this story-and
representing an Omaha wholesale liquor
house. was arrested in an eastern Iowa
town q few days ago for violating the
prohibition law, says the Omaha World
Herald. He was terribly worked up over
1t, because 1t was his first trip out and
visions of discharge fioated before his
eyes. After walking a block or two with
the travelling man the city marshal said:
THE Mayor is not in town to-day, but
will be tomorrow, 20 you'n have to give
bond for your appearance before him at
10 o'clock. We amt got no jail here
The travelling man told the marshal that
ne was an entire stranger and could not
give bond.
We'll. you might give a cash bond .
said the marshal. Suppose you just de-
post so with me-"
The frightened travelling man put up a
ten-spor, and the marshal disappeared.
The travelling man ioafed around town the
rest of the afternoon, ate supper at his
hotel and spent the early part of the
evening in the hotel office reading a news
paper. About 1890 the marshal dropped
into the office and almost threw fit when
he saw the travelling man there.
Great goshenn exclaimed the marshal
Il thought you went out on the $40
trainr'
Il am under bond to appear before the
Mayor al 10 o'clock tomorrow morning 4"
said the travelling man.
"Well, of all the dod-blamed' innocents
1 ever see, you take the cake! There's a
train out at 7:20 in the morning"
The travelling man took the hint, also

on him that the city marshal was only
eking out meager salary.

This young man is not so confiding as he
was. and his ideas of friendship are not
so exalted says the Detroit Free Press.
Yet he takes it philosophically and is
willing to place a heavy credit in favor
of experience.
81 started in a small way he tells,
land l had an idea that my business
would expand rapidly. But I find a good
many leaks and drains. OF course you
know Jones. He is my friend and knows
about horses. So when my one horse
went lame 1 consulted him. he being the
one friend / had who, 1 thought, could
help me out.
i" Pretty bad shape. he said, as he look
ed the nag over. Need him on your de-

81 need him or some other horse, and
asked Jones what 1 could get for the
lame one. He looked him over, felt his
legs, examined his eyes and teeth aud
finally said that, being a friend of mine,
he'd give me $40 for the horse. L took
it. That same afternoon he sold the horse
for $50, a fact l learned about a week
later
Now, said Jones. I'm not the man

rustic around and find you another horse.
Thank you. but keep within hum

Next morning my friend showed up
with a horse he told me I could have
for 1893 though he was really worth more.
He was sound, gentle, Z years old, ac-
cording to Jones.
He had bought that horse for $50 He
had SPAWN and ringbone. was knee
sprung and 10 years old. So Jones had
made s7S off me and left me with one
of the worst old crowbaits you ever saw.
I'm not saying much about 1t, for Jones
is my friend, you know. But an old
codger that buys groceries from me says
friendship ceases in a horse decker"
