A Woman With a win.

few years ago Miss Rosa Weiss
was poor, but also ambitious Now she
is an NJ. D. and has a lucrative prac-
tice. She asked her brother to send
her to college. He told her that he
could not afford to do that, but, giving
her cents. jestingly said to her, Go
ON that" She saw wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles in that nickel. With 1t she bought
a yard of calico, from which she made
Il sunbonnet. Selling the sunbonnet for
% cents, she bought material for bon
acts and aprons. In this way several
dollars were realized. Her brother,
pleased with her thriftiness, gave her
some land, which she planted to sweet
potatoes, cultivating 1t with the assist
ance of a small boy. The products of
the first year brought her $40. Later
she entered state educational insti-
tuition, where she remained until she
graduated with honor. During the
course she received some assistance
from an aid society, all of which was
repaid Miss Weiss entered med
ical college at Baltimore Md, where
she paid her tuition by nursing, and
was graduated from there with honor.
She Is now a practicing physician In
Meridian, Miss, near her former home,
and her income is good one.-Success.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through lie bearing a load OF misery
and Indebtedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitatcd, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and HEADACHES result. II the liver is
sluggish the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
TEN must he strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feelleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mr.. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows:-
i" | have been troubled with dyspepsia ana
srl, headache for a number of years. About
every week would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since | began using Paine S
Celery Compound, my dyspepsiais gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. feel

Training n Hunting Horse.

The training of a hunting horse is
thus described by Sewell Ford in
Horses Nine" When the time was
ripe began the hunting lessons. Pasha

and the voice of the hounds He was
taught the long. easy lope. He learned
how to gather himself for Il sail through

Years ago Il certain mother made it
her duty To give to her children each
night word of comfort or warning as
to the doings of the past day. One
naughty little daughter had come to
think herself hopeless case, for the
hours in which she tried hardest to
conquer her quick temper were nearly
always times Of disaster. After one
particularly stormy season she found
pinned to her pillow that night a ten

seen how hard you tried today and

ST. PAUL AT THE FAIR.

The dependence of the state fair Of
ficials upon st. Paul to contribute very
largely to, the success of the fair was
justified by the event. All records at
the gate were broken yesterday. At
this writing accurate figures are not
at hand. but Secretary Randall esti-
mates that the attendance exceeded
sixty thousand; the cash receipts were
in excess of $4,000.
This is tremendous. 1t is also graft
flying. 1t speaks volumes for the civic
pride of ST. Paul; it is eloquent as
showing the drawing power of the fair.
1t is a cause for self Reorganization on
the part of st. Paul people 1t is cal
culated to astonish the natives of
other cities in these parts, who, at
times, make a day Of it at the state
fair
An observer on the streets or st.
Paul yesterday afternoon might have
a great throng moving in the direc-
ton of the fair grounds. But it was
not conceivable that one in three of the
entire population was at the fair
grounds or bound in that direction. For
it is quite true that the attendance at
the fair yesterday was, with the ex-
ception of few thousand visitors from
the country, drawn directly from st.
Paul.
st. Paul arose to the occasion man
fully. When Secretary Randall an
nounced through the columns of T h e
G O b yesterday morning that the ex-
penses of the fair were provided for
by the receipts up to Thursday even
ing and that it was up to st. Paul to
make a large addition to the profits of
the big show, st. Paul and the weather
man got busy. The result is gratifying.
We have very many reasons for being
proud of st. Paul, but no one of them
appeals with. such force as does the
fact that, on occasion. we can put aside
business cares and troubles and go to
the big show that is given at our gates
each year-go as one great family, all
prospecting and united.
When ST. Paul goes to the fair the
association officials may be assured
something will be doing, but it will be
long before the record of yesterday is
broken.

WOULD BE A LONG WAIT.

If Great Britain has made up her
mind, as her newspapers declare, to
trust to Canada for the recovery of
the Americas cup, that trophy is safer,
than ever. Canada is not running
over with miIlionaires who are ready
to put from five hundred thousand dol
lars upwards into challenger. Can
ada has not exhibited any particular
interest in the contests. Canada. above
all. has not the designers and builders
who could for an instant compete with
the Herreshoffs with any hope of sue
cess. For there is where the real con-
test lies, under present conditions. 1t
is a struggle between marine archi-
tects and marine constructors in
building a species of delicate and in
tricate toy.
We are much of the opinion that it
will be long time before another cup
race is sailed. England has reason
for profound Encouragement. She can
scarcely hope for better success in flu
ture, for Sir Thomas Upton has spared
nothing that could contribute to sue
cess and he has scored unbroken fail
ure. There is room for the conviction
that conditions are not even; that no
yacht can be built suited to cross the
ocean under her own sail, no matter
how carefully attended, and win from
a rival who has not had to bear that

GEN. KING AND THE EASTERN
VOLUNTEERS,

Gen. Charles A. King, who has had
has taken to writing what purports to
be fact and addressing it to the daily
papers. We have no quarrel with Gen.
Kings imaginative work; it is very
frequently quite charming, but it is
possible that the novelist-soldier has
given his imaginative faculties so much
than would one who knows nothing of
the flowers of speech and fancy. He
complains that he was misquoted by
T G 10 e in the report of a speech
in which he made some sharp refec-
tons on the soldierly qualities of the
Eastern volunteers.
The language used by Gen. King
was, in part, as follows:
at was the soldier from the Western
states who did the fighting in the Phil
ippines. While the soldiers from the
West were fighting and making history
for their country the soldiers from the
East were crying to go back home"
And. again:
''The soldiers of the East We're the
best on earth-on parade-but when it
came to fighting they were not to be
compared with the Western boys"
The inference to be had from these
remarks is unmistakable. They created
something of sensation in the audi
ence that Gen. King was addressing

jure Americans.

PEKIN, Sept. 4.-Severe wounds in
nlcted on two Americans by French
soldiers have created general indigna
IIon against the policy of German and
French commanders in orderino, their
soldiers to carry side arms while off
duty. After the German-Austrian af-
Tray last May all of the foreign com
manders agreed to prohibit the CARRYING
OF side arms while the men were ont
SIDE OF their posts. This agreement,
however. was everruled by the Ger
man general, and the soldiers of the
kaiser were again ordered to wear side
arms. and their example was followed
by the French. All of the other foreign
soldiers travel about unarmed.
Witnesses of the affair of yesterday
declare that the French were clearly
the aggressors. The French command
er treats the matter lightly. but d
strong request for the punishment of
the guilty persons has been made by
Capt. Andrew Brewster, military at
tache of the American legation.
