MODERN RAILROAD ADvERTIs-
ING.


Commenting editorially upon the
matter of modern railroad advertising,
the Houston (Texas Chronicle says
in part:
"a novel feature in up-to-date rail-
road methods is the recent move OF
the Southern Pacific in the matter of
pictorial advertising. The striking
advertising feature which is important
both to Texas and the Southern Pacl-
fic, is the work of Mr.. M. b. Irrelevant,
the recently appointed chief of the lit
crary bureau of the road, whose unique
qualification among railroad literary
chefs is that he is an excellent artist,
originating and completing his own
designs.
Col. S. f. B. Morse, passenger traf-
fic manger of the Sunset Route, whose
original and aggressive policy has done
much for Texas in the service of his
road, is to be congratulated, not only
on this special feature of artistic ad.
vertising so excellently begun, which,
on account of the sure appeal Of the
picture to the eye of the average man
is certain to produce very broad re.

Commencement al St. Francis School.

There was happy elimination
to the school term of the Convent
de Notre Dame on last Wednes-
day night. We regret that it was
impossible for us to attend; but
report says that the bright chill
dren and older ones did them
selves and their teachers pro-
nounced credit in the various
loles carried into effect. Medals
were drawn for by large numbers
of pupils who deserved them and
were successfully appropriated by
Nellie Aylward for regular attend
ance; Mary Stafier, for applica-
ton in music; Mary Staffier, for
application in needIework; and
Lettie Robinson for general APP
plication. Miss Loretta Cox was
awarded medal for completion
of the Grammar Grades.
1t is probable that the Sisters
who have SO faithfully prosecuted
the years work, will conduct a
class in fancy needlework during
the summer. The display in Nc
Grath's show windows last week
attracted a deal of interest and
admiration and large class will
doubtless be formed.

Marvellous Escape from
Death |
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

1t is we'll known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that afAict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues OF Pane's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had desire 10 end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says:-
For thirty years have been a great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. | began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such burden that
almost prayed 10 lay it down. was bcdfast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until was almost
crazed. / am able TO do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. l
am really enjoying life again, thanks TO
Paine's Celery Compound. l am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
by its use.''
