Judge Wilcox, of Guthrie, EIOpes
With a Nineteen-Year-O Girl.

Guthrie, the little railroad city of
Todd county, has her sensations
along with other big cities. Just

Miss Brady, the fair daughter of
Car Inspector Brady, her age being
10 or 20. The marriage took place
at Springfield, Tenn. and was OPP
posed by both sides of the house,
and was a complete surprise to the
community. The city Judge says,
however, that he thought he had a
right to pass on the case, as it was
in his court, and therefore there is
no appeal. The newly welded
couple are at present in the tender
care of the chief of police, r. L.
Burrus, at phose home they are
spending their honeymoon and re-
ceiviug the congratulations of
friends.-Earlington Bee.

Many cases Of headache, neuralgia,

vertigo, nervous prostration and
the seeming stupidity of children
are often due to defective vision
caused by the abnormal curvature

irregularity of the refracting media
of the ey and are relieved by the
application Of the proper glasses.
90 per cent of the people over 40
years OF age need glasses and 50
per cent of the 90 need them for dis

Glasses are not always given to
improve eyesight, but to relieve un-
due strains-in other words to as
sist nature. Thousands Of eyes
are ruined yearly Seven persons
out of ten have neither eyes alike,
and one out OF twenty Astigmatism,

eye separately. SPecia! attention

dream Of being cured because the doctors have
said she cannot be cured. SO she begins taking
" Favorite Prescription" only hoping to get
partial relief from pain and weakness. If only
the back wouldn't ache all the time If she
could only be relieved from the constant head
ache If she could only be made little
stronger 50 that she might have some share in
life's duties, that is all she asks. And then the
first thing she realizes is that Favorite Pre-
scription is curing her, and she keeps on until
she is cured and is perfectly we'll woman.
Then, like Miss Ebbets, she advertises the med-
cine which cured her among her friends, and
even puts aside her repugnance to publicity and
endeavors, through the press, to show thousands
of weak and sick women the way to health.

Church. residing at 1000 East 10th ST. Kansas City,

head, having constant backache and headache. Two
bottles of DR.. Pierce's medicine made a we'll

who were suffering to it, and have been gratifed

Miss Ebbets' statement that "Favorite Pre-
scription" " does all that is claimed for it and
more, too" is amply borne out by the state

been cured by this medicine. So many times
some sick woman is recommended by friend
to use "Favorite Prescription" She does so
hesitatingly because good physicians have told
her that she will have to endure her miserable

GREAT COTTON COUNTRY.

Should congress see fit to take
the tariff Off sugar, says the Denver
News, the farmers of the Arkansas
valley may turn their attention to
raising cotton. w. l.. Harum,
public trustee of Pueblo, who is
interested in the Twin Lakes res
,eryoir, near Leadville, was caller
at the state house yesterday after
noon. When asked what the
farmers on the land irrigated with
water from his reservoir would do
in case congress takes the tariff off
sugar, he replied, "They will go
to raising cotton" Sometime ago
man from Tennessee bought land
under the Bob Tail ditch in the
Arkansas valley. One day while
loading bale of hay into a freight
\ car he picked up couple of cotton
seeds, Where they came from is
not known. He took them home
and planted them in a little piece
of ground back of his house.
Without any cultivation or irriga-
tion some of the finest cotton l
ever saw in my life was raised from
those few seeds,' said Mr.. Hart
/ man. at has demonstrated that
cotton can be raised in the valley
Just as successfully, if not more SO,
,than it can in the southern states.
If the southern quality can be
equaled without cultivation or ir-
rigation. the possibilities with both
these agencies applied are great" "

FUR TRIMMINGS

on gowns have prestige all their
own and this year there is a great
run on hats and bonnets in fur
which, however, can, under no
circumstances, become common
On evening dresses, the graniture,
in question, may seem out of place
but is in keeping with the present
idea of extreme constrasts in juxta-
position. Sable trimmings ap-
pear in combination with chiffon
on a gown of panne silk made up
in anticipation of the arrival and
consequent entertainments in
honor of Chauncey Dspew's bride,
and another dress destined for a
like purpose is of pale blue Louis
inc made princesse and trimmed
with pearl passementerie and lace.
Passementerie, in general, is ex-
tremely fashionable, appearing
again in millinery, from which it
had long been banished and this
for the reason that spreading brims
have seemed a natural ground
work for such display
Cora" The run on neck boas
in light weight material is phenom-
enal and for dressy evening wear,
displays in white and pale colored
boas, with muffs to match, are truly
remarkable. The extreme width
and height of these boas about the
neck are in keeping with the very
long streamers in front and some
new muffs show long, floating
streamers.
"Miss X" Medallions are very
fashionable and for those in gold
heart shapes seem particularly
popular Pretty ones are closely
set in very small pearls or dia-
monds and as the expense of these
gems is proportional to size, such
medallions are not very expensive.
Both, however, are so skillfully
initiated that sem blance to the
ordinary eye quite equals the
genuine. Lucy CARTER.

diamonds and in this style the
amethyst or turquoise oftenest ap-
pear Imitation stones, however,
have been brought to such per-
lection that they really tempt the
fastidious, nor is their substantial
reason why woman may unblush-
ingly wear false stones in her bon
net or belt and not on her corsage-
There is a distinction, neverthe-
less, and in the eye of fashiona BILE
prejudice difference. Belt buck
les are often extremely pretty and
vie with the hat pins in seem
ingly precious glow Real gems,
particularly diamonds, are, how
ever, regarded as investments be-
cause always valuable.
GOOD QUALITY FUR
is also. like diamonds, an invest
ment and, if judiciously purchased,
real economy. AS an example
of the latter may be quoted a
Persian lamb jacket which has
outlasted three garments of mate
rial and is still in excellent condi-
ton. 1t was purchased from G. @.
Shayne, being only one among
many others, and discriminating
buyers are now availing them
selves of his January special offers,
since in fur, as in precious stones,
it is all important to deal with
those whose word is guarantee.
Small furs are useful in summer
on piazzas or drives, as during
winter over jackets, and, with a
view to present needs or next sea-
son, fur cape or jacket at a re-
duction, is an excellent invest
ment.
