A pin cushion is always a nice gift
for an older girl to make. Do not
attempt to make the cushion part
yourself, but buy one OF those pretty

ribbon to make good full bows at each

First put the insertion across the
top and fasten it securely, then have
a double thread long enough to reach
all around the cushion. Gather the
lace on to this thread evenly and then
sew on to the cushion, being very
careful to have the gathers even and
the stitches so small that they can
not be seen. When the lace is on fas-

In 1890 he was nominated for Vice-Pres-
ident by the POpulists, expecting, as Bryan
did, that the Kansas City Convention
would confirm the nomination., but the
Convention thought otherwise, and nom
mated Adali Stevenson for Vice-Presldent,
thus giving Bryan two running mates.
After the election Mr.. Towne removed to
New York, where he became one of the
plltocrats, associating with Ex-GOv. James
Stephen Hogg, the Texas oil magnate, and
others of that kidney. Before leaving
Minnesota he was for 30 days Senator,
succeeding the late Cushman *. Davis.
He has been maintaining very close rela-
tions with Boss Murphy, of Tammany,
and the election to Congress is his reward.
The Ohio Republicans are sitting down
very strenuously upon the Vice-Presiden-
tial boom of GovernOr-elect Herrick. They
do not think this is wise or fair to the
party, and it should be suppressed as
quickly as possible.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, gave,
it is said, the advice to Senator Hanna not
to decide at this time if he cares to re-
main Chairman of the Republican Ma

Be Warned in Time.

Constipation needs cure. A simple re-
lief only is not sufficient, especially if the
relief is brought about by the use of salts,
aloes, or some similar 1rgative or cathar-
tic. They temporarily relieve, but they
weaken the bowels and make the condi-
tion worse. In constipation the bowels re-
quire strengthening, toning and something
that will assist them to do their work
naturally and healthfully-in shert. a ..spie
laxative of the highest order. That is
what vslnal Saw Palmetto Berry Wine
is. 1t both relieves and permanently cures
by removing the cause of the difficulty. 1t
positively cures dyspepsia, Indigestion, kid
ney and liver troubles, headache and all
other diseases which grow out of sick and
clogged bowels. Constipation often sows
the seeds of death. One small dose day
will cure any case, light or bad. 1t is not
a patent medicine or liquor. The full list
of ingredients goes with every package

which occurred In that immediate vicinity,
and watching while he pointed out on the
distant hills the scenes of other important
occurrences. As he mentioned the Union
and Confederate brigades which had
moved back and forth over these grounds
during the battle, Maj. Milne became more
and more interested as he heard the name
of his own brigade commander used.
Finally he said to Judge Henry, Are you
