useless to raise the hopes Of the Gus

has been gained, except the principle
involved that competing lines Of rail-

The young mother thinks, when she has
completed the baby garments that are to
clothe the little form. But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many a
young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why it was
not possible to prepare in some way for
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost uncomfortable.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription 10 the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures Of maternity. It prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suffer. It strengthens the whole
body, so that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. It promotes q healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. It gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Healthy mothers have healthy childrens
and it is the general testimony of those
who have used DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
and happier than, those born after
months Of mental misery and physical
anguish on the part Of the prospective
mother.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce by letter absolutely
without fee or charge. As chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, DR..
r. v. Pierce, assisted by his staff Of
nearly score Of physicians, has in the
past thirty years and over treated and
cured more than half a million sick and
suffering women. The testimonials Of
these cured women are on record. A
large number Of them were cured when
doctors had pronounced cure impossi-
Bile and after enduring years Of useless
suffering.
Let no sick women hesitate to take adj
vantage Of DR.. Pierce's offer. but write
at once and so secure the professional
counsel of a specialist in the diseases of
women, entirely free. All correspond
ence strictly private and sacredly confi-
dental. Address DR.. R. ". Pierce, BUFF

= vYctory for Democr.t..

The prosecution Of the Northern
Securities company and the great anti
trust decision of the court at St. Paul
constitute q democratic victory, not a
victory of President Roosevelt nor of
ahe republican congress. The public
sentiment which forced the national
administration to act against the
trusts was created by democratic agi-
fataon. The republicans were forced
into corner. They werecompelled to
act for the suppression Of the trusts
OF to go before the country at the next,
election as the party Of the trusts, sup
porting the trusts and supported by
the trusts. In claiming the credit Of
the anti-trust victory in the courts the
republicans are stealing democratic
thunder. The larceny will not pre-
yail. The democratic party IS entitled
10 all the credit OF the successful war
on the trusts, and e cannot be kept out
OF its own when the reckoning comes.

1t seems to us that the members
of the administrations who have recent

public occasions have made the mis-
take OF expanding on their democratic
fellow citizens a good deal Of rhetorical
eloquence that might more proftably
have been addressed to their dissent
ing brethren in New England and the

close the gnp in their own party the

$As Cavalry Charge Of Antelope.

yGE tsuStE
Tt was nearly sunset when we neared
our camp on Fall River. From the first
bench above the stream we saw a long
file. Of elk coming to the water on the
further f1'1 the side, and when they had scram-
bled down the steep cut bank the fore
most one Waded out and started across.
Soon he was beyond his depth and
struck out boldly, swimming. in long
curve to the shore on our side. The 4
Others followed and soon the river had
a whole string of elk across it. Before
the last one was over we saw more elk
coming co ming from further down stream. II
happened to. look, back of me, and from
the foothills came a small bunch of
antelope, mincing along in coquettish
way. "We are surrounded, said Leek.
And there were two more outfits of an
telope coming, one on our right and the
other on our left. II forgot that we
are right near a salt-lick here,' said
Leek: "'There is no escape, but we will
| fight hardp' ....
The first lot of elk got wind of US,
and when they ran the other elk took
alarm too. But some of the antelope
came right on, and we made two pic
! lures of them. They saw US after
While, and circled half around us.
While Leek struggled to open stub
born plate-holder they formed in com.
pany front and charged straight for us,
till l thought they would really run US
down. On they came till they were not
fifty feet away, and then stopping in
line. cooked their heads and said, as
plainly as they could, "Please take our
pictures" l.eek's plate holder was

eras, in pose we may never either Of
us see again. .., ....-- =
For ten seconds they stood, and then,
as the air grew warm with what we
said, they tossed their heads scornfully
and ran away. AS long as live l shall
