An Iowa editor, who has evidently
assiduously read Louise Chapelle's
Beauty Realm" column in the Mime
apolis Tribune, presents the following
beauty hints for mem" If your nose
is;inclined to take on a ruddier hue than
you think compatible with beauty try a
preparation made of lamp black, tar and
linseed oil. App the mixture and
allow it to remain on the nose as long as
you like. So long as the paint is on the
red will not show. If you have a bald
spot on the top of You head it is a good
plan to have the barber curl the hair all
around the place, Spit curls are very
effective if they are pasted down fiat to
the bald spot. If your III begin to Top
at the tco from wearing your hat pulled
down too low, stick them to the side of
your head with good strong CINE. In
two or three years Jon can overcome
any tendency to loppiness. II your nose
is not situated in the right part of your
face, have it removed and set where it
will look the best. Surgeons can do
most anything these days. If your lips
are too thin insert a pneumatic tube
and blow them up. Seal the aperture
until it is healed up and your lips will
look ripe and luscious in no time. If
your neck is too long for the remainder
of your body, quit rubbering so much.
You might try standing on your head
about ten hours a day and if your head
is inclined to run to a peak this will be
remedied at the same time. When your
whiskers are inclined to be curly, tie q
weight on each hair at night. This
will effect a cure in nc time. If your
hair is n color, your eyebrows another
and your whiskers still another, never
mind. Variety is the spice of life and
you are sure TO attract much attention.
If your mouth is too large, have the cor
ners sewed up and allow your mustache
to drop down oyer the sides. If you are
inclinedisato be- stoop Z. shouldered,
sleep on your back on d barrel several
nights each week. When you wish to
look particularly pale before going to a
party it is advisable to have a person
brighten you badly before you go. A
bill collector or any other bandit might
accommodate you. Bath frequently
in honey with champagne added and
your conplexion will become as white
as that of a corpse

Tritch team of Denver was referee and
Stoll and Tracy of the same team acted

A Heroic Performance of Duty.

The mail stage from Yankee and Alice
was blocked for several days this week on
account of the severe storm that swept
over this section on Monday and Tues
day of this week. In many places on the
Fall River road it is said that the snow
has drifted to a depth of from 20 to 40
feet. Mr.. w. M. Taylor, the mail carrier
between here and Yankee has proven
himself quite hero in Drawing the storm
of last Monday in order to get through
with the mail-facing a bowling wind
aud binding snow with I6 below zero,
while at times both horses down in snow
drift he went on, arriving at Alice almost
frozen but nearly on schedule time. He
was forced to abandon the trip on Tues
day, but not without first making a
desperate attempt. He was five hours
in making the trip on Wednesday morn
ing that he general makes in an hour
and a half, through wind blowing 60
miles an hour and IL below zero.
Mr.. Taylor is too modest to tell of his
experiences, but sums the whole up in
that western phase so we'll understood by
those who have been through exprer-
fences: "It was hell" If ever a servant
of the mail service deserved compliments
as one of the brave among the brave, ii is
certain that Mr.. Taylor should be given
recognition. 1t was not done on the i'm
pulse of moment to save life, but done
with a sense of performing his duty with
full appreciation of the danger to his life
and suffering to be met.

Saved From Terrible Death.

The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt of
Bargeton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption turned dispair into
10y. The first bottle brought immediate
relief and its continued use completely
cured her. It's the most certain cure in
the world for all throat and lung troub-
les. Guaranteed bottles soc and $I.oo.

Mr.. Ira Comstock and Miss Mayme
Lyon were married at the home of the
bride on Colorado street at O'Clock
Wednesday morning, the ceremony be-
ing performed by Rev. F. w. Willman
of the Presbyterian church. 1t was the
intention of this happy couple to keep
this event a secret from their many
friends but this was impossible and it
soon became known and a large crowd
met them at the depot on their departure
for Denver and covered them with
shower RS of rice. 1t is the sincere wish
of their numerous friends and the Sift-
ings that their future life may be long,
happy and prosperous one.

Friday evening, February I3.
A thirteen mile ride by rail.
Thirteen days notice of the game.
And how could the poor girls win3
What else could the poor girls do?
The Idaho Springs Ladies basketball
team lost the game on Friday evening at
Central City by one point. The girls
PLAYED a good game, according to the
statements of those familiar with the ins
and outs of the affairs and Central City
simply shrugged out on fouls.
1t would be unkind to say that the
Central City girls had cold feet but it
looks as if they were determined to win
even if it was on the fouls called, vicious
ly wrong too, at times, on the local
team.
Central City has a team of giant young
ladies. One would think to look at the
Drawn exhibited that they drilled in the
mines or might be some imported tug-of-
war outfit. The baskets were FIVE inches
higher than they should have been under
the stipulated regulations of the game
but all the Central City girls were about
the same number of inches higher than
they ought to be.
1 could not refrain from wondering
how such creatures are developed over
there-surely not on banquets such as
they served.
When the train landed a crowd of
hoodlums we're on hand to give the
young ladies from this city the usual
Central City welcome. They had a
little yell arranged, probably taught
them in the school, that run something
like this:
"Fe, iif, FUN

serious than putting the official and a

attention to the very great danger re-
sulting from the placing OF too much re-
sponsibility upon an indoIent and per-
verse Malay. The papers have COM

American colony will probably be more
careful in the immediate future. APP
parently the only way to be absolutely
safe is 10 get the water for ones self

water has been so frequently and for
chilly emphasized, by sickness and

fected source, that the government dis
tilleries have lately reduced the price
of distilled water to two cents a gallon,

further reduction in cost To those ac-

THE EAST TENNESSEE FOLKS.

If1Ef EA6l LEN VNIlDDEE Il olA0.
AS to politics the people of East Ten
nessee have never yet learned to know
how to be democrats. Seventy one
years ago they cast their vote for "Old
Hickory" jackson; but never since that
time has a majority of the votes of East
Tenpesseeans been cast for a democra-
tic candidate for President. Until the
leopard acquires the power to change
his spots they never will. 1t has been
fifty years since the voters Of the
second congressional district have elect
ed, democrat to Congress; the first
has gone democratic only few times in
that time, and the third district is kept
democratic only by attaching enough
Middle Tennessee counties to the dis
trict to make it so.
If East Tennesseeals did not vote the
democratic ticket in the days of James
K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, Aaron ".
Brown and William Trousdale, they
have no thought OF following in the
lead of such men as control the party
in the state in these latter days. Under
the present election laws there are
counties in which INSCRIPTIONS and cor
rupt election commissioners may steal
elections, and certify to the election of
their fayorite candidates; but the people
know and the commissioners and their
tools know. that their certificates are
lies.--Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

FRENCH SOLDIERS AND THEIR
MEALS

One of the mostsp picturesque sights of
the manoeuvers is when the days fight
ing is over and the signal Cease mano-
euver'' is hoisted on the balloon. This
lis usually about midday, and the
ingenuity Of the Frenchman in the mat
ter Of cooking is then seen in all its
variety French soldiers in the field by
little families of eight, and each family
carries all that it needs for its comfort,
whether for one, two or more days, as
the case may require. One man carries
the utensils for coffee, even to a strainer
and mill, another a can for boiling
water, another a bundle of dry twigs
picked in the morning before the march
| and packed all day on his knapsack, so
that no matter where the halt is made
| a fire can be started with the dry wood
| at once. VI
These little fires spring, up all over
\ the field as if by magic, and in a few
minutes there is under way, besides the
inevitable coffee, every conceivable dish
that the ration could furnish or the
pockets of the men and the shops at last
nights cantonment supply. If one OF
| the nriyates you see choping up meat,
peeling otatoes, or grilling sausage
happens to be a prince, a duke or COM
mon-place millionaire, you may be sure
that a bottle of good wine, a pate de
lfoie gras, or whatever else the village
furnished, will exc. out the cold meat
bread and cheese saved from last
nights sunlrner.-Captain T. B. Mott in
