FOR TIE, HOUSEWIFE
Plaster Match Holders

Dainty housewives who are not for
tunatr enough to have their homes
lighted 10y electricity are delighted over
The new designs in plaster casts.
Whether one buys OF the street vendors
or in the artshnps. the little match
holders in the shape Of chcrubs, jolly
monks. diabolicaI faces or angelic chill
dren are quite welcome as noveltieA
When tackled against the woodwork
with brass headed lacks, with a small
piece of sandpaper underneath, their
usefulness is as apparent as the dec
oratiVe feature. A very pretty panel
may be made by covering Il thin board
two inches larger than the match hold
er with some art ticking or denim Of a
humorous shade of the wall covering
and then fastening the plaster cast and
sandpaper To the covered board secure
ly. Screw eyes ut the top of the panel
make it easy to adjust TO the wall.
The plaster cast fad is dangerous
one. but if it can be judiciously handled
rooms may be made very effective by
the correct placing Of a masterpiece re-
produced in plaster

when the Schooners Rolled Out of
ST. Joe.
Those exciting old scenes are but memo
ri"s now.
When the pop of the bullwhacker's whip
Sharply rang ere the wild west had
scarce felt the PROV
OF proGTC$s!ou's great oncoming ship.
And hut few now remain of that dust be-
grimpd host
Who had nerve in the dim long ago
To fight and if need be TO die at their
post
When the schooners rolled out OF St
Joe.
In the dust OF the valley great serpentins
trains
Rolled from civilizations last gate
And slowly wound onward toward the
great plains
Where the red men were lying in wait.
But every bronZed whacker trudged
hravely along.
Feeling never a fear of the foe.
Their heavy whips cracked to the voic-
ings of song
AS the schooners rolled out of St Joe.
When the sun seemed a ball of raw fire
in the skies.
When in torrents the rain sheeted down,
When the winds blew the aIkali dust in
When the clouds wore a threatening
frown,
To the men with the bulls it was always
the same;
They'd the duty mark manfully toe
True philosophers all. they took things az
they came
When the schooners rolled out of St.
Joe.
Those schooners of old are now rottinp
away.
But bones of the cattle remain.
The whackers surviving are wrinklcd and
gray;
No more does the wagon boss reign.
The swift flying trains drawn by mon
Stcrs of steam
Now ny Ger the plains to and fro.
And the stirring old days We recall as a
dream
When the schooners rolled out of st
Joe.

THE GREAT r1EDICINE.

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward L. Phelps, NJ. d., Ii. D., after years
Of long practice and close scientific study, gave
10 suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine MAIN
tainS more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. l was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
