nervous, anxious, sleepless and gener-
ally miserable, her child will be weak
and fretful.
How reasonable this is. The child
can have no strength which the mother
does not give it, and how can the weak
mother, who has not enough strength
for herself have anything to spare for
her babe?
THE FAIRY GoD-MoTHER
is a very pretty invention. But the real
fairy god-1nother is the natural mother
of the child. 1t is she who must endow
her child with health from which
springs all other endowments desirable
for humanity.
The way to have healthy children is
to be healthy. But how to be healthy
is the vexing question for women. Is
the mother to blame because she is nerv-
Gus, because her appetite fails and her
strength wanes, because she IS sleepless
and respondent? One cannot blame the
woman whose only failing is that she does
not know how to change her condition.
Yet a wornan's health is practically in
her own control. If she is weak she can
be made strong. If she is sick she can
be made we'll. The experience of other
women shows that the rose of mother
hood can be stripped of its thorns by the
use of DR.. Pierce's FavOrlte Prescription.

HIsLast HONE Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, MONTH
In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much bad water, which, to-
gether with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea which
it seemed almost impossible to
check. and along in June the case
became so bad he expected to die.
One day one of his ncighbors brought
him one small bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoca
Remedy as a last hope. a big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect of the
medicine was soon noticed, and with
in an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight.
That one little bottle worked com
pIete cure, and he cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests

BOAT WITH HISTORY
Steamer Comet Originally Used
as Floating Monte
Carlo.
MEETS HER FATE IN A STORM
Destroyed During the Month at Bur-
lington-Built I'm
1891.

The steamer Comet, which was de-
stroyed at Burlington i'm the storm
this month, has a rather interesting
history. 1t was built in the year
1891 at Moline by a man named Frank
o. Walters, to be used as a floating
Monte Carlo. Moline at that time
was controlled by a rather straight
laced administration. that had closed
up all the gambling houses. As the
power of the city authorities only
reached to the waters edge, Walters
conceived the idea of building boat
and barge for the use of the gambling
fraternity.
The construction of the Comet and
roomy barge was the result, and ev-
cry night during the summer the
sports of Moline would board Capt.
Walters craft and gamble to their
hearts content, without fear of mo-
lestation.
Every kind of gambling game i'm
aginable was to be found on board
the barge, and the enterprise WAS
well patronized. This was continued
for two seasons, when another city
election came and the so-called lib
eral element was victorious at the
polls. The gambling houses in Mo
line were reopened and the mission
of the Comet was ended.
In Towing business.
The boat was then taken to Hanni-
bal, and used in the towing business
for two or three years. Keithsburg
parties next purchased the craft for
Il ferry boat and in turn sold it to
man named ChaVaneau, who disposed
of il to the Kelly Brothers, of Bur
hngton. The boat gave the best of
satisfaction to her owners and did
more work in Il season than any 9th
or boat on the upper river, big or
little.

The Changeling Child.
The Scientific Explanation of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind. 1t grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful.
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such a child into the world.
So the child was called a fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
days of waiting and anticipation is

John Nolk, who secured the in

He has so far taken no steps to-
