Verge
Of Insanity Despite
Doctors Care.
Nervous Cramps in
Hands and Feet.
DIR. Miles Nervine Was
My Salvation,

Sleeplessness is at once a. symptom and a
disease. Just as soon as the nerves become
deranged the patient suffers from sleepless-
ness Deprived of their natural rest the
nerves soon lose all force and vitality and
while sleeplessness Is a symptom in such
cases it frequently becomes chronic and
remains the chief effect of disordered nerves.
DR.. Miles Nervine quiets the nerves and
strengthens them; soothes the tired brain
and permits sleep; restores lost energy and
vitality and brings sleep, health and strength.
"Previous to our coming to the territory
three years ago, we lived in Virginia, and It
was there that l got acquainted with the
wonderful powers Of DR.. Miles Nervine. l

his medicine for over two years, butthe nerv-
Gus trouble that was gnawing my life away
grew steadily worse. ] had nervous cramps
in my hands and legs, which would draw up
and pain me so that ! could not sleep at
night. Often ! never closed my eyes for
days and nights together. The doctor finally
told mehe could do nothing more for me and
that was on the verge of insanity. He told
me might try your Nervine as a last resort,
and it proved TO be my salvation. When /
had used four bottles of the remedy together
with the Nerve and Liver Pills had re-
gained my former good health. Mrs

wagon boxes. A single team and
wagon would have been swept
away, SO they formed the entire
train in a single file, having the
teams and wagons attached to a
chain extending through the entire
length of the train. This crossing
thoroughly tried the courage and
endurance of the men, for they
waded alongside their oxen, at
times clinging to the OK yokes and
swimming. At some places the
teams seemed to swim and the
wagons to float, the latter being
held up in line by the chain to
which they were attached.
1t seems to me now that the next
point of note on our route was
Fort Bridger, but | do not call to
mind the appearance of the build
ings or anything happening there
about, unless it was the great
number of Sioux Indians l saw
either at this fort or Fort Laramie.
I saw several very pretty squaws,
with cheeks painted red, wearing
beaded moccasins and beautiful
red leggings fringed along the outer
seams. Some Of them had papooses
almost white and very pretty.
Some were wives of white men at
the Fort, and some belonged to the
great war party mastering there to
fight the Blackfeet. AS remember
this army of Sioux warriors, all
were mounted on nice horses
bucks and squaws painted about
the face and armed with bows and
arrows encased in quivers slung at
the back. Some had spears, some
some war-clubs, but no guns, or, if
any, very few.
This war party, as l see the
picture now, looking back 81 years,
marching or halting in close array,
covered several acres Of prairie. 1t
was a gay and savage looking host,
and sometimes when squadron OF
those mounted warriors would
break away from the main body
and come toward us, shouting their
war whoops andurgjng theirponies
to full speed, | thought it a grand
display indeed, but fancied ! could
feel my hair rising on my head.
Some of the Amozans of this war
party visited our epcampment.
They were dressed and painted and
armed like the men. Some OF them
were very fine of figure; had pretty
faces, and eyes as soft and bright
as those of the antelope of the wild
plains. They were all young
women, and, as I thought, made
love to our young men with their
eyes, like city damsels; but in the
excitement of battle it is probable
that they became very furies, and
those lovely eyes flashed fire. Their
small, shapely hands and small feet,
clad in beaded moccasins, were ad-
mired, even by our women, and
some of our men, bold as they were,
were almost captured already by |
those lovely warriors.

The wives did the housekeeping and II
they were willing to have their dining room

the poet continued to devote himself to the
ladies and pour libations to them with the
most killing looks in their direction.
But even with the long hair and the liba-
tions, these classic firtations soon lost their
charm for the married women and it was
observed that the poet found 1t necessary
to change frequently the object Of his devo-
tons or pay for his dinner. oftener than he
cared to- So It happened that in the course
of time he found himself at the table OF a
lady whose husband was collector Of rugs
The floors were decorated with beautiful
specimens OF the weaver's art.
The unknowing poet saw no reason
why he should omit the hbation, and
lifting his glass as usual, looked toward
the hostess. Then he tilted the glass and
a bit of the wine fell to the floor.

He was intensely Hellenic in his sym

In appearance. confirming his application Of
the ideas Of tho ancients to advising all the
women he knew to give up everything
but beauty of outline. He wanted them all
to think Of nothing else when 1t came to
dress. He wore his hair long and was care
less about his linen
But he was strong on some Greek GUS

He was very likely to devote himself ar

married and gave good dinners. Nothing
was more beautifully poetic than his a1ec-
ton for a lady Of these traits.
He always poured a libation to the woman
that happened at the time to be the partic-
ular object Of his admiration. Unlike the
famous French actress. he did not pour the
wine on top of his head, which was a sensible
practice. In view of the fact that the wine
was usually red.

1t Ia not yet the hour for absinthe IN the
French cafe, although one or two classes Of
the cloudy green liquor may be seen on
the tables.
There are women scattered at the tables
before dinner, always with men, as with
out such an escort they are not allowed to
enter the cafe. They come later in larger
numbers and, seated at the tables, are at
liberty to enjoy themselves az much as
their escorts.
Women who drank in public here used
to be Of only one kind, But there are
different kinds to be seen In the French
cafe now and most Of them are quite as
respectable as those who never thought Of
drinking in public.
This is the greatest difference In New York
customs that the new place has brought
about. The women who go there have the
privilege of eating or drinking anything
they choose and are quite as free as the
men in evSry particular but one. They are
not allowed to smoke. And 1t is credit

has so far tried to smoke.

LIFE BUT TWO ON VIEW.

The morning light falls through the cafe
windows on snowy tablecloths shining
with iced carafes and spotless glass.
Few of the tables are occupied. At
intervals men and women take their coffee
and read their newspapers Here and
there guests of more substantial morning
appetites survey omelettes and even beef
steaks occasionally on their tables.
But the big room Is almost noiseless
and all but deserted. The hour for the
first breakfast is not the French cafes
liveliest times.
Hours later the room is just as empty.
But there is no daylight then.
The electric bulbs, already half extin-
guished illuminate the few persons per-
mitted by the walters to remain to finish
their drinks. The air is thick with smoke,
which hangs like a cloud over the room.
The quiet, save for an occasional outburst
of laughter, is the same that prevailed
when the sunlight came into the windows
hours before. The guests are as few.
1t is thus that the French cafe begins and
ends the seventeen hours out Of the twenty
four that it devotes to supplying the wants
of man-and occasionally, must say.

In the interval all kinds of New Workers

Every hour of the day brings its different
slice OF the metropolis into the place. At
noon the uptown lunchers gather.
Then the room becomes as fiercely COM

were situated in the heart Of the quick
lunch district downtown. The proprietors
and employees of the retail stores in the
neighborhood, architects, publishers, and
representatives Of all the kinds of business
that are congregated now in that uptown
region sit at the tables.
The buzz Of conversation almost browns

the little procession that regularly appea RS.
There is the white haired, white-mus-
tached Chevalier of the Legion of Honor,
who, with his tiny red ribbon in his button.
totters every night to his place for a very
frugal meal and very long perusal of the
Paris newspapers.
He ia known to everybody who enters
the place nearly M well as the red-faced
man with the black mus,ache who dimes
in the cafe every night. but has never been
known to speak to anybody save the walters.
He is always there, and many theories Of
his presence and his solitude have been in
vented by curious persons who see him
and contented with his loneliness.
There are a dozen or more young men
seen there nearly every night who have
