Attractive Women

All women sensibly desire to be at
tractive. Beauty is the stamp of health
because it is the outward manifestation
of inner purity. A healthy woman is
always attractive, bright and happy.
When every drop of blood in the veins
is pure a beauteous flush is on the
cheek. But when the blood is impure,
moroseness, bad temper and a salIow
complexion tells the tale of sickness, all
too plainly. And women today know
there is no beauty without health. Wine
of Cardui crowns women with beauty
and attractiveness by making strong
and healthy those organs which make
her woman. Try Wine of Cardui, and
in a month your friends viii hardly
know you.

date is actually coming. The National sent

and has gone to the House, where it should pass

legislatures this summer, and most of the gov

there is every reason to look for the ratification

of the States, a year hence, a sufficient number
of the States holding their biennial legislative

How He Got an Umbrella.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
A Grand avenue merchant entered his
store the other day with an umbrella in his
hand and, sitting down on the nearest
stool. burst into a roar of laughter, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel. In response to
queries as to the character of the Joke the
merchant said, after few minutes OF hi
larity:
We'll. you know, when 1 started out in
the rain had no umbrella. worried along
the avenue and across the pontoon, debat-
ing whether shouldn't invest. but was de-
TERED by the thought that already have
three umbrellas kicking around somewhere
When 1 got over on East Water street I
spied man presumed to be Dick Wilson.
don't believe you know Dick but ne is ar
old friend of mine. The man / thought to
be Dick was carrying a fine silk umbrella.
It's mine now" he added, fondly. as he
gazed on the work of art he held in his
hand.
AS soon as saw the man presumed to
pe DICK was so overjoyed that rushed on
MIN from the rear and, slapping him hard
on the back. exclaimed: Look here, old
man. give me that umbrellar
The man turned and, to my amazement
discovered that he was not Dick, but
some one had never seen before. / was
covered with confusion and was about to
apologize, when / observed that he was
even more confused than /. He hastily
closed the umbrella and pressed it into my
hand with the remark:
I beg your pardon: I didn't know IL
was yours. and vanished around the cey-
ner. leaving me standing with OPEN
mouthed astonishment."
After the outburst of merriment from tAs
assembled clerks had sUbsided. the mer-
chant said:
"well. I've got a fine. new umbrella, any
way. and they say the second thief is the
best owner"

GERMANY IN AFRICA.
Tueton Opening Up Another Railroad
in the Dark Continent.

From the New York Tribune.
German colonial enterprise In Africa has
long been an object of somewhat contemp-
tuous criticism, even upon the part of some
who should have known better. 1t has
been pointed out that 1t was enormously ex-
pensve each German colonist settled in
Africa costing the imperial government a
thousand dollars year or more to main
tain which was quite true and 1t has been
argued that therefore the whole business is
a wretched failure. which is entirely false
and unwarranted. The fact is that despite
its great cost, for which there are special
and obvious reasons, German enterprise in
Africa is making gratifying progress and
promises in time to be highly profitable.
and Germany is doing a vast deal toward
opening up the interior Of that continent to
civilization.
The name of Swakopmund is probably un-
familiar to the average reader. and that Of
Windhoek is little better known. II to
these We add Jakalswater. Abbabis. Kara
bib and Okahandja, We have a list calcu-
lated to send one In despair-and. perhaps in
Yain-to the gazetteer. Yet those names
indicate the stations on new railroad near
ly 240 miles long, running from the coast
inland in one of the least known parts of
Africa The country In question is Damara-
land. commonly called German Southwest
Africa. Windhoek is one of the chief towns
IN the interior, ana Swakopmund is port
on the Atlantic coast just north of Walfisch
hay. The 23S miles of country lying be-
tween them Is rugged and wild In an excep-
tional degree. But the railroad has been
completed-it was begun less than five years
ago-at cost of something more than

Now a railroad 23S miles long is scarcely
comparable with the great Cape to Cairo"

"Automaniac. -
rom the HOrseiess Age.

From The HorseIess Age.
There seems to be need of a term to
designate the new terrors of our streets,
those speed-crazed paranoiacs who are now
doing so much to bring the automobile into
disrepute. Various terms are loosely ap-
piled. but a new compound would be de-
sirable. We suggest the word ''automa-
