ried,y muses. Mr.. Younghusband discon-
solately. And he is quite right. II he
would only carry the idea Of change in
his wife far enough he would be able to
understand her feelings and sympathizes
with her condition, But his estimate OF
change stops at externals-s the tears,
nervousness and irritability which are
but surface symptoms of the real change
she is undergoing.
There is no time when young women
stand so much in need of good motherly
advice as in the early days OF married
life, and there is perhaps no time when,
as rule, the young wife is left SO en-
tirely alone to grope her own way to
happiness in doubt and uncertainty. OF

she knows nothing. She becomes nerv-

CRYPTIC MASONIC LODGE
TO BE INSTITUTED TONIGHT

Prominent Masons began arriving
in. the city this afternoon to be pres
ent at the instituting of the lodge of
Cryptic Masons at the Masonic tenn
pie this evening. The work, which
is said to be very beautiful. will be
done by the officers of the grand
council of the state.
The Cryptic Masons come between
the chapter aud the commandery,
and in the past the degrees have not
been obligatory. All over the coun-
try, however. the tendency is to re-
vive the councils. and il is believed
that they will become in time to he
considered necessity where the fra
ternity fiourishes.
The old council here had about
thirty members. 1t Iapsed about
twenty years ago. 1t is believed
there will be about twenty-five char
ter members initiated this evening.

MRS. B. F. WILSON DYING
FROM EXPLOSION BURNS

Mrs +. F. Wilson was this after
noon believed to be dying AZ a
result of the burns she received
through an explosion of kerosene at
her home, 522 Twentieth street, Mon
day evening. The greater part of
the day she was in an unconscious
condition and she appeared to be
sinking rapidly.
g Mrs. Wilson is in her 74th year. and
consequently she has failed to rally
from the shock as a younger person
might have done. The worst burns
are between her knees and chin on
the front of her body, almost the en-
tire surface being blistered.
The accident occurred through the
lighted head of a match falling into
n cup of kerosene with which Mrs.
Wilson was about to light the kitch-
en- fire. Her clothing caught from
the blaze, and being alone in the
house she was compelled TO fight the
flames singIe-handed. Although she
exhibited great presence of mind and
succeeded in divesting herself of
nearly all her clothing in n very few
moments, the fire had by that time
done its work. and burns which it
is believed will be fatal were inflicted.

The damage was not as severe as

trees were blown down, and in the

very bad for the grain and hay that
was down.

The trunk of the latter broke about
fifteen leet above the ground and the

The proprietOrs of Foley's Honey
and Tar do not advertise this as a
'sure cure for consumption" They
do not claim it will cure this dread
complaint in advanced eases, but do
positively assert that it will cure in
the earlier stages and never fails to
give comfort and relief in the worst
cases. Foley's Honey and Tar is
without doubt the greatest throat
and lung remedy. Refuse substitutes.
All druggists.

When you wake up with bad
taste in your mouth, go at once to
all druggists and get a free sample
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets. One or two doses will make
you well. They also cure biliousness,
sick headache and constipation.
