A man in New York proposes to give theatrical treat wherein the play will be everything and where there will be no "frippery," no g seats, and none of the other disagreeable features. This looks very much like theatrical mil. lenium. but 1t must be remembered that milleniums are sometimes delayed in arriving.

1 A VIDENTLY the American girl has (O) made great impression on Sir
 Thomas Lipton for he has ap- peared in print with his views concern ing this interesting type. To judge from the yachtman's enthusiastic expressions there are no others like her and the great wonder is that he has not married one instead of confining himself to cold type. 1 But the knight is wiser than he looks l ands his experiences with New York cho- I rus girls proved that he was not to be l ensnared by any of the ordinary meth- ods. Like a great many other visitors l from other lands, Sir Thomas is struck | by the brightness, the independence and the vivacity of American girls. The man. | ner in which they took possession of the 1 Erin. and himself besides seems to have 1 filled his doughty heart with delight With the courtesy that has made him many friends he refrains from mentioning that Adirondack feast that came near ending his pleasures on the operating table and says that the American girl can prepare | dainties fit for the gods, or words to that effect Continuing in the similar vein the yachtsman compares the young ladies of Yankeeland to the girls of England, Scotland and Ireland. It must be con- fessed that he is rather partial to the lassies of Ireland but on the whole he ] makes out a very good ease for the American girl and 1t was all done through the indomitable energy of William Ran dolph Hearst who persuaded Sir Thomas to contribute his article to the New York American.
 Now that the glad Yuletide-English form-is drawing near many persons are casting about for presents to infiict on friends and relatives. Cheap cigars pur- chased by faithful wife constitute such painful and time-worn subject that 1t is best to pass them over without further remark Perhaps next in the list come red neckties. Here Is food for thought and few words. Certain grocery clerks in a New Jersey town have decided that they will "cut out> such gifts from 1t matters not whom In other words, they will not receive red neckties under any circumstances as Christmas presents. All though heretofore grocery clerks have never made master stroke that is des-
 
 benefit. All that is necessary is warn ing to the prospective purchaser and he or she will immediately turn to some thing else. This has been proven so often in previous years The question of buying Christmas gifts Is indeed nnomentous one, from the reason that not one person in ten gives the present that is really wanted But long suffering bachelors could endure annual inundations of slip pers, pipe racks, smokers utensils and other trumpery if his female acquaint- ances would only desist from giving him wearing apparel that offends all his ideas of good taste. No person can pick out articles of clothing perfectly satisfactory for another person, especially in the mat ter of ties, but advice is, perhaps, thrown away.

Saved My Life and Kept
Me from Insane Asylum"
Mrs. Wilcox Is Now in Perfect
Health Through No Other
Agency Than
Paine'S Celery
Compound.

The absolute need of an honest and
genuine invigorator and health giver
in the spring season is deeply i'm
pressed on the mind of every thinking
and intelligent man and woman.
The happy cure of Mrs. ]. f. Wilcox,
of Winters, Cal. through the use of
Paine's Celery Compound, created
widespread establishment and JOY
amongst her friends and neighbors
who were exceedingly anxious regard
ing her condition.
The best medical treatment failed
even to give Mrs. Wilcox a few days
of relief from her sufferings of mind
and body At last, Paine's Celery
Compound saved her from terrible
end and planted her feet firmly on the
rock of health.
Read Mrs. Wilcox's letter of testi-
Ynony, dear reader, and if you remain
obdurate and unbelieving after such
an earnest and convincing confession
of cure, nothing but a direct act of
Providence can snatch you from the
dangers and perils of your position.
Mrs. Wilcox says:
Il feel it my duty to tell you what
Paine's Celery Compound did for me.
Some years ago my head troubled me
so that it seemed I should be crazy.
IT was caused by overstudy. l asked
the advice of two doctors who gave me
medicine to no effect, and I did not
know what 1 would do. I did not want
10 see any one. everything seemed so
strange l had a tired, tagging feel
ing, my bowels were out of order, my
kidneys troubled me, and l felt badly,
but before l had taken half of one bot
tie of Paine's Celery Compound 1 felt
like a new person. Four bottles cured
me, and I would recommend ii to all
who feel the way did. I can't praise
it half enough, for l know it saved
my life and kept me from imprison-
ment in an insane asylum, which is
as bad as DEATH"

TO ALASKA TO WED.
Young Woman Leaves NayIOr on
Matrimonial Trip.

Valdosta, Ga, April S.-Miss Julia
Rose who has been residing in the
family of Mr.. J. d. Bamberg, near
Naylor for the past two years, but
whose former home was in North Caro-
lima left last night on her way to Sitka,
Alaska, where she is to be married to
d man named Thompson.
1t is understood that Thompson is
engaged in the fishery business and
is a Swede by birth. He advertised
for a wife seven or eight months ago,
and Miss Rose answered his advertise
ment. A correspondence followed, pic
lures were exchanged and an engage
ment followed.
The intended groom did not care
to incur the great expense of the trip
to this section, so he sent his intended
enough money to pay her way to Sitka.
She goes first to Seattle, and thence
by boat to her future Alaskan home.
Sitka is far to the south of the Alaskan
gold fields, and the climate there is
said to be much more comfortable.
Miss Rose is a very attractive young
woman and has many friends through
out this section to wish her a safe trip
and then a happy life afterwards.
