One Woman Among the Thousands.

We received a letter from Way
cross. Georgia, a few days ago. from
a lady who has lived there for years.
She writes us that she had been
troubled with female complaint for a
long time, until she was reduced to
almost q shadow. II affected her
mind. she could not remember any
thing, would get confused and so ner-
vous and irritable she could hardly
sleep. She described her case as one
similar to thousands of other women,
and then ends the letter by saying
she had gained IS pounds last month,
and never felt better In her life. hav-
ing no trace of her former troubles,
slept well and ate her meals with a
relish. This lady commenced the use
of DIR. Gums Blood and Nerve Ton
ic Just six weeks before she wrote the
letter, from which we copy the above.
This tonic is in tablet form, and
should be taken right after meals. 1t

testify for the side which employed
them as regards the mental condition
OF the prisoner at the bar. Such evil
dence is OF small value and the jury
did well in giving 1t but little heel.
Expert testimony, a term often base,
ly abused, to have weight should come
from neither side in a criminal case.
Doctors have their friendships, their
sympathies and their prejudices, same
as other people. Though 1t might be
a difficult matter to secure an I'M
preiudiced medical court TO decide
upon the sanity of a man charged
with a crime. yet the decision Of such
a court or commission, provided for by
law, would have more weight than
the present one-sided method of &C.
such expert opinion. In this
case, as in many others, it was a good
deal of a farce.

ENpoRsE ROOSEVELT.


and many others are chewing the bit
ter cud OF disappointment. For months
the press of a leaderless party has
been "seein' things Either through
witchcraft, palmistry or hypnotism 1t
has been enabled to see things that
were obscured to the vision OF most
everybody else. II first saw in Mark
Hanna a formidable candidate for the
presidency against President Roose-
welt. He was secretly a candidate
and had the backing of the monied
interests of the east. His denial had
no effect upon these wisacres and
soothsayers. They saw in Hanna the
obstacle in the pathway of President
Roosevelt, and the wish that he might
be was father to the thought.
As the date of the Ohio Republican
state convention drew near this same
press had another vision in which 1t
saw the Hanna and Foraker forces
divided into hostile factions and wag-
ing a relentless war upon each other.
But all prophecies and predictions
came to naught. The bucyeye Repub-
licans refused to create a seem for
Democratic amusement, or even 10
establish the correctness of bourbon
prophecy. In fact the proceedings of
the convention were marked from first
to last by great harmony and enthii-
siasm. Senators Hanna and Foraker

GAMES FOR WINTER EVENINGS
Suggestions for Some Simple and

Suggestions for Some Simple and
Amusing Diversions.
AS 1t appears that all the world Is
not expert enough to play either
bridge or p%ing-pong. certain philan-
thropists are casting about for less la
borious diversions suitable for winter
evenings. Among the suggestions
made in various quarters, we find our
selves most in sympathy with a CORE
spondent's plea for q revival OF
onomancy-or %divination by names 1t
is a humble, a quiet and a restful past
time, suitable for the ordinary man
and the normal home. All that is re-
CURED in the way Of paraphernalia is a
box OF ivory or cardboard letters. One
person takes a name such as Kitch-
ener or Livingstone, and gives it to
the others, who see what appropriate
sentences may be constructed from
the letters. We are reminded Of those
old but excellent specimens of
onomans: "Gladstone-"G leads not"
and Disraeli-"I lead, Sir" The same
correspondent quotes as an example of
his W ingenuity, Charles H. Spur
geon-"Oh, preachers lungs" Others
will occur to the reader. Among the
various games of a similar nature, we
may mention the game of C%onsonants,
in which one person gives the conson-
ants OF a word in their rightful order,
emitting all the vowels. For instance,
from IS, c, r." the guessers have to
construct saucer; or, worse, still,
from "r, p"-Europe. This game
among amateur photographers may
become almost profound, but 1t is
merely intended for the average per.

HOW TO MODEL IN WAX.

Dainty Amusement for Women OF
Artistic Tastes.
Recently a few women with artistic
tastes discovered what an interesting
thing 1t vas to model In wax, and all
at once 1t has become the fashion.
1t all began with one woman who
was c~onvalescing after an illness, and
who took 1t up as a time killer. She
made SO many beautiful things with
her deft fingers that her friends be-
came fascinated with the work and i'm
mediateay bought q stock Of materials
to see IL they could do az we'll.
Tools are the least part of It. Sets
of them are always bought by the be-
ginner, but the fingers prove to be of
the most use. and only in shaping in
tricate crevices, where the fingers will
not reach, are the tools Of value.
Modelling wax comes in brown and
red, and the heat Of the hand renders
it pliabls. When the molding is be-
gun, and the desired figure begins to
take shape. one adds on the different
parts, instead Of molding out from
the center piece.
Should the wax become too hard to
be pliable it "a be, softened by placing
1t in q pan owe . dish of boiling
water.
Clay is also used, but that is not so
pleasant to work with. as it has to be
kept moist with a damp cloth around
