Woman is often referred to by man
as doubling his Joys and halying his
sorrows." That may be compliment
tary but it would seem to be rather
hard on the woman. For in plain
terms it means that where things are
going well with the man his wife
makes them go better. But when
things are going i'll with him, he ex-
poets the wife to share half his burden.
And there's more truth than poetry in
in this presentation Of masculine self
ishness. Men don't appreciate the
fact that the strain of motherhood
alone is burden bigger than all the
loads that rest upon male shoulders.
They see the wife grow thin, pale,
nervous and worn without a thought
that she is over burdened. Among
the pleasant letters received by DIR.
Pierce are those from husbands who
have walked up before it was too late
to the crushing burdens laid upon the
wife, and in the search for help have
found in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription a restorative which has Civ

the maiden and the maiden's happi-
ness. "Favorite Prescription ahcays
helps, and almost always cures. 1t

every hundred woman who have used

VALET JONES MISSING.
Main Witness for State in the w. M.
Rice Murder

The New York America of today says:
Charles F. Jones, self-confessed murderer
of William Marsh Rice and chief witness
against Lawyer Albert T. Patrick, under
death sentence in Sing Sing, has disap-
peared, much to the discontinue Of the
district attorneys office.
Jones received immunity from Assistant
District Attorney Osborne for becoming
witness for the state, and in June. 1902.
was given his freedom on the nominal bail
of 81 600 furnished by Thomas F. Devine.
Before Jones was permitted to leave the
TombS he made to agree that he would
district attorneys office, and with this un-
derstandng he was permitted to leave the
state and return to his old home in Texas.
The young girl to whom he was engaged
at the time he killed Rice refused to even
speak to Jones and nearly every one he
had known from childhood passed him in
silence on the street. He was practically
in solitude among his former friends. He
went to Houston where he had worked
as a clerk for Mr.. Rice in a storage ware
house. He met with scorn wherever he
went, and in the letters sent to the District
attorneys Office complained bitterly Of the
treatment. AS last resort Jones went to
Galveston and shipped under an assumed
name as mate on the schooner Raphello.
which made weekly trips from Galveston
to San Jacinto river. Then he went to
New Orleans, when his letters stopped.
1t became necessary to locate Jones in
peal, and detectives were sent south to find
him. Search was made everywhere that
Jones would be likely to go, but not the
slightest trace was found.

Medieval Walls Saved.
be London Morning Post.


One Is glad to hear that there is still
some prospect of the preservation of the
walls of Avignon. That charming city has
already suffered enough at the hands of
the utiltarian. The French government
has made barracks of the papal palace,
cutting out the pointed windows. for sani-
tary reasons, and which, perhaps is kind,
covering those frescoes which survived the
brutality of the soldiers-with whitewash.
Then a political person. M. Pourquery de
Boisserin. who had become maire. tried to
curry favor with the ignorant of his cleo
torate by demolishing the medieval ram
parts, among the most beautiful and best
preserved of their period in existence. He
attacked two of the gates, but, happily.
he has now been defeated at the elections
and is ousted from his office.
We thought that they had in France
ministry of fine arts which might have pre-
vented this sort of thing, and we have
heard it spoken of at times as a model
for our use. But either 1t is wofully care
less pitiable, incompetent or, worst of
ALL too susceptible to political influences.
In any cases Avignon keeps its walls, and
from the towers Of Vflleneuve, across the
river you may conjure up. with little ef-
fort Of Imagination, a vision of the days
when the bridge Of ST. BenaZet might still
be danced on.

Modern Life and Sedatives.
From the London Spectator.


1t is only doctors and those connected
with the sale of drugs who know the i'm
mense amount of sedatives consumed by
the public at the present day. Every man
with large acquaintance numbers among
his Immediate friends some who take them
in one form or another. There are few
who do not know ill-advised and enthusiast
tic individuals who are always insisting on
giving every one dose of the last new
specific against headache, or sleeplessness
some of the various nervous disorders
common to our advanced civilization
These drugs many and various, and are
sold under different conditions Many OF
them are supplied over the counter without
any restrictions as ordinary articles of
commerce. among which we may mention
all the bromides and other drugs which. on
the one hand. diminish pain. produce sleep
and decrease irritability, and. on the other
hand. lessen the vigor of the organism,
alter the quality Of the blood for the worse
and tend to shorten life. Although the
sale of still more potent drugs or COM
pounds of them Is restricted to registered
chemists, there Is frequently very little
difficulty In procuring those which gen
orally known as patent medicines and sold
under the protection of the government
stamp. This Is especially the case with
preparations of morphia.

AUTOMOBILE NOTES.
Mum Der Of Machines in Use in This
Country About 81 900.

From statistics compiled by the American
Motor League it is estimated that the num-
Der of automobiles In use in the Cnlted
States is about 81 900 and Is increasing at
the rate of 200 to 1850 month.
An automobile has at last been devised
which meets the approval of the farmer.
1t Is an agricultural motor car driven by a
strong, single cylinder engine of about
twelve horse power (actuaD and can be
used most efficiently for many of the pur-
poses of the farmer where power and
tractive force are required. 1t will haul
double furrow plow twice as fast as four
horses. and unlike the horses, does not give
out from fatigue at the end OF five or six
hours. 1t can be used for hauling heavy
loads along the highway or to drive
threshing machine and is in short, a very
complete combination of portable and trac-
ton engine
The appointment OF official hotels for the
accommodation of automobilists has been
taken up with marked success by the Mo-
tor League Only hotels of the first class
are rendered the official appointment in
large towns. though in smaller places,
where good hostelries are, the appoint
ment Is not withheld for mere lack of me-
tropolitan conveniences. The circular of
Instructions issued by the league says: 1T
is better to have no league hotel than to
have a bad one; but a good hotel is not
necessarily a grand or elaborate one.
Good food, cleanliness quiet, good attend
ance and comfortable rooms and beds are
the prime necessities All official hotels
are listed in the league tour books and are
required to allow a small discount to league
members.
the first tour book of the league is nearly
completed, and Its publication will be
shortly announced. 1t Will contain 146
pages made especially for this work and
showing the grade and material of the road
between towns, distances, branch roads.
etc, and will cover a total of over 1850
miles In the eastern and middle states.
Each member will receive a free copy. The
first edition is placed at 10000 copies
The league has doubled its membership
twice since January 1.

lists send their names and addresses to r.

The property was purchased through the

THE REAL NEW YORKER.
Seldom Born on Manhattan Island
Increase Of Anglo-Phobia.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter ocean
Two New York publications designed for
distribution along Broadway have made
alarming discoveries. One is that the real
New Yorker is seldom born in New York.
and the other that New Workers getting
more English than ever. The inference on
the face Of these discoveries would be that
the real New Yorker is born in London,
but the facts show that this is not the case.
The real New Yorker" representative in
finance, religion. politics and the law. Is
born, 1t appears. anywhere from Shickshin-
ny, Pa. to Framingham. Mass
Thus. j. Pierpont Morgan is a Connecticut
Yankee, Russell Sage came from Shenan-
doah. n. Y; Richard Croker was born in
Chauncey NJ Depew in Peekskil. DR.. Park
hurst in Framingham. Mass; Bishop Potter
In Schenectady, Mr. Choate in Salem, Mass
and Dr. Butler in Elizabeth. n. J. The list
Is somewhat longer than this. but these
names are indicative OF the real New
Workers" not born on Manhattan. The. fact
of not having been born a New Yorker may
be overcome by being an acquired New
Yorker, and the first discovery Is not
altogether disquieting. But the second is
more serious According TO this the Ameri-
language is in danger OF elimination.
This, for example. is the way they are talk
ing on Broadway:
You're too quick is now you're too
hloomin' fawst o.d chap" One never

object to their having their clothes made

toward the genuine article, but fellows who
have never been nearer the Shaftesbury

themselves ridiculous by adopting the haw-
haw."
In this plant the sort of New Workers.
that are adopting the "haw-haw" is not
shown. but II is impossible to believe that
Mr.. Morgan, Mr., Sage. DR.. Parkhurst Mr.
Choate. Mr.. Platt DR. Butler and other
real New Workers. who We're born in

his luncheon. or that Mr. Depew made a

Nor do we think that Mr.. Morgan would
tip the waiter with 1--WE bob instead of

GOLD BASIS FOR CHINA.
Agreement Reached by the Monetary
Commission at Berlin.


A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
The conferences of the American and Mexi-
can monetary commissions with the Ger
man representatives were concluded today.
The promptness with which the government
appointed the German commissioners and
their speed in dispatching business enabled
the Americans to finish their work here in
one week, whereas they expected to remain
three weeks in Berlin. The Americans and
Mexicans will proceed to ST. Petersburg on
Sunday.
From a statement handed to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press by the
American commission, 1t appears that a
unanimous agreement on a series of reSolu-
tions was reached regarding uniform
monetary system for China on a gold basis
with silver circulation. The resolution
declares it to be desirable for both China
and the gold-uSing countries trading there
If a fixed relation of the silver coins to gold
could be fixed. The resolutions further
recommend the gold-using countries buy
ing silver fol subsidiary coinage to observe
regularity.
But the German delegates passed a reso-
luton to the effect that Germany does not
need to buy silver: having already about
$lOO,O0O0OO above her requirements in cir
culaton. The resolutions disclaim pro-
noting bimetallism any change in the
monetary system of the gold countries.
The Americans and MeXicans express
great satisfaction with the results of the
work in Berlin. President Creel Of the
Mexican commission said that if the project
for uniform currency for China was soon
carried out and the silver purchases of Eu-
rope and the United States We're made reg
ularly, the fluctuations which have been so
injurious to the trade between the silver
and and the gold countries will cease. Rep
resentatives of the Chinese government who
were present at the conferences at London
Paris and Berlin expressed approval of the
proposition to give China uniform cur
rency.
DR.. Koch, president of the reichsbank,
closed the sessions here by thanking the
commissioners for their devotion to their
task, adding that while the immediate prac-
teal results will be small, still Germanys s
support, substantially of the proposals will
give moral assistance to the plans
