The Watchword of Women.

Modesty is woman's watchword.
Whatever threatens her delicate sense
of modesty, frightens her. For this
reason many woman permits diseases
of the delicate womanly organs to be-
come aggravated because she cannot
bring herself to submit to the ordeal of
unpleasant questionings, offensive ex-
aminations, and obnoxious local treat
ments, which some physicians find
necessary. Doubtless thousands of the
women who have taken advantage of
DR.. Pierce's offer of free consultation by
letter, have been led to do so by the es-
cape thus offered from treatment re-
pugnant to modesty. Any sick woman
may write to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y,
in perfect confidence all letters being
treated as strictly private and sacredly
confidential, and all answers being sent
in plain envelopes with no advertising
or other printing upon them. DR..

Easter Revere.

We buried grain in the darksome
earth,
And the time dragged slowly by,
When lol from the death there was joy
GUS birth,
A passing mystery
From death and darkness and sad decay,
Leaf and flower and fruit of May
They buried Him deep in the sealed
tomb,
Three days passed slowly by,
Then from the gloom broke the sudden
bloom
Of Immortality
From death and darkness and deep des-
pair,
Life and Promise and Hope most fair.

Making Money In Prison.

A remarkable example of cunning has
been unearthed in one of our large
prisons. A convict had perfected die
and was making silver dollars, and dis
tributing them through accomplices on
the outside. Naturally the officials
were very much surprised at the discov-
cry, but no more so than the person who
receives counterfeit article in place of

Fordney's Work.
From the Saginaw Courier Herald.

II
A recent dispatch printed in demo
cratic paper carried the mean inference
that Congressman Fordney, of the
Saginaw district, had grown lukewarm
in his fealty to the beet sugar interests
of his constituents. No more emphatic
refutation of the lie could be furnished
than that given by the alert Washing
ton correspondent of the Detroit Journal,
reprinted in telegram in The Courier
Herald yesterday This telegram
stated that the Michigan delegation,
beet sugar fight than any other, has not
only lost the leadership to which its
position entitled it, but almost its
identity, with the single exception of
Mr.. Fordney, who has proved to be the
best whipper-in of any man upon the
floor, and to his effective efforts more
than to any other member is due the
now solid and strong opposition to re-
moving the protection now afforded
what is fast becoming Michigans lead
ing industry. 1t is probable that there
is some exaggeration myths so far as the
delegation as individuals is concerned.
1t is more likely that the delegation has
consolidated its legislative energies in
the hands of Mr.. Fordney to be assisted
by H. G. and VIM Alden Smith, both of
whom have shown activity. 1t was VIM.
Alden Smith who endorsed Dalzell of
Pennsylvania in the caucus Thursday
night, when he made the latter acknowl
edge that if it were question of reduc
ing the Cuban tariff on steel and iron,
instead of sugar, the Pennsylvania
would be against it.
But it is certain that Mr.. Fordney has
been the most useful member of the
delegation up to date, and that his tire
less efforts to get signatures to an agree
ment opposing the sugar tariff reduction
scheme has had great influence in turn
ing the tide that had set so strongly
against the sugar beet.
In this connection it is not out of place
to say that Mr.. Fordney has not neglect
ed his opportunities in other directions
A telegram received last evening, shows
that the congressman has caused to be
placed in the river and harbor bill an
item of $1,000 for the cleaning out and
improving of the Shiawassee and Bad
rivers, between Saginaw and st. Charles,
an appropriation that congressman from
this district have been trying to secure
for so many years that the memory of
men goeth not back to the time of the
first effort.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments of
cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart is
proud of them. Not only the Kings
household but yours, ours, everybody S
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, influenza,
catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in
the stormy month of March. The. best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the sys-
TEN with Hood S Sarsaparilla-th great
est of all life guards. 1t removes the
conditions in which these diseases make
their most successful attack, gives vigor
and tone to all the vital organs and
functions, and imparts a genial warmth
to the blood. Remember the weaker
the system the greater the exposure to
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
system strong.

BLAINE AND M'KlNLgY FOLLOWED.

IN the Of long editorial commencing with the
declaration that Congressman Longs speech is still an

among other things says that "the New York Tribune

but shameless sdsregard of public opinion The Pres

Cubas sugar imported the United States this
nation would still have import than million

that with Cuba prosperous, Kansas win have
additional and direct market via the Gulf ports for

The washington Post of the 18th inst prints Longs
speech its entirety the able presentation made
by any Congressman.
We quote two or there paragraphs of the Journals
editorial follows
THAT Congressman Long, Of Kansas has achieved the
leadership Of the Cuban reciprocity in
gress is noteworthy II doubly OF the fact
that Mr. Longs district the only in Kansas which
there is the slightest Republican opposition allowing
concessions TO Cuban sugar
Mr. Longs position that tariff reduction should be
made in the tariff Cuban sugar upon the moral
ground that the United States it Cuba assist
in establishing her financial prosperity as well as her
governmental independence IN this he should have the
support Of every lover Of justice. Cuba largely de-
pendent her crop for the support of her PEG
pie and it is claimed that the present tariff imposed by
the United States compe the Cuban sugar raers TO sell
their product below the of production in order to
compete with the beet imported from European
countries, which their producers bounty Il
the present high tariff is maintained against Cuba the
people Of he island bound to become stin further
impoverished and is only right that the United States
after giving the island its freedom should assist in its
becoming at least self-supporting
The proposition Of AR. Long is not TO throw of the
entire tariff on Cuban sugar but TO make reduction Of
only 20 per cent This is alleged is sufficient to allow
the Cubans TO sell their sugar the United States at
small profit - the same time Mr.. Long asks for con
eessions from cuba products Of the United states
which the island does produce thereby putting the
proposition on q business basis"
