Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women
are so because they are suffering from
some form of female disease. By far
the greatest number of female troubles
are caused directly by catarrh. These
women despair of recovery. Female
trouble is SO common, SO prevalent,
that they accept itas almost inevitable.
The greatest obstacle in the way of re-
covery is that they 90 not understand
that It is catarrh which is the source
of their illness.

The New Reporter,

This is an article received by an
Iowa paper, last week. from one of it's
new correspondents: This beautiful
little city was rudely startled a week
ago last Thursday by the wild clang of
| the fire bells, betokening an awful
holocaust. The mad bells, ringing as
they did on the eve Of st. Bartholomew,
seemed to be in a frenzy to carry the
terrible news to all quaking hearts and
distracted minds.
Hardly had the first peal shattered
the silence when the volunteer fire de-
partment responded to a man. Every
member was present. The entire de-
partment came on the wild run from
Jake Gilroy's shack, where it had been
playing pinochle. Swiftly and surely
was the instrument of fire protection
harnessed and quickly did the wheels
revolve and carry it to the scene of the
fire carnage.
THE sight was a stupendous one. 1t
reminded one of the pictures of the
burning of Rome. But where was Nero
and his fiddle? There was no time to
ask. Forked flames We're leaping
mountain high into the azure blue now
darkened by the wings of night. Tear
ing madly the fiery serpents writhed
and convoluted. Women who stood
near groaned in the travail of their
spirits for it seemed as if the entire city
was doomed. And where again was
Mrs. OLeary's COW? The forked flames
could not answer. Higher and higher
they mounted, cracking and eating,
devouring all that came in their way.
/ "But here comes the gallant fire de-
partment, noble heroes, chewing to-
bacco to the man. Quickly they I'M
limbered their weapons and the fight
began, man against the elements. civ
ilization against barbarism. After a
half hours work the flames were con-
quered, the battle was won, but it was
hard victory. All honor to our noble
fire laddies."
Accompanying the article was a let

fire department could De sent, the mem
bers having had group portrait taken.
with their wives and children present.
The article was turned over to the news
editor who asked the correspondent to
Wire in ten words where the fire was
and the extent thereof.
The answer came too late for the
telegraph columns and is given here:

higher than that of many states,

Better Prospects for Cuban Reciprocity

Several senators. among them being
Mr.. CulIom of Illinois, in recent inter-
views have expressed the opinion that
the coming special session will pass the
necessary legislation for making eff
fective the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. 1t is for this purpose that the
special session is called, in fact, and
the ideas of President Roosevelt on the
subject are well known to Congress,
and to the country. The advocates of
closer trade relations with Cuba are
therefore feeling fully confident that
the opposition to the treaty, which was
successful in the last Congress, will be
overcome in the session now about to
be held 1t is known that many OPP
ponents of reciprocity in the West have
either modified or altogether changed
their attitude, along with the changing
of conditions, and it certainly looks as
though the chances for the treaty are
good. AS far as can be judged, the
main objection to Cuban reciprocity
now comes from the sugar interests of
California, but how much weight this
has, remains to be seen.
AS far as Cuba is concerned, it is Ger
tain that both the sugar and tobacco
interests of the island are anxiously
awaiting congressional action. 1t is
true that the agricultural and COM
mercial conditions of the island are by
no means bad, but there is a general
apprehension that they will become so
unless closer trade relations with this
country are established. 1t is an I'M
deniable fact that the commerce of
Cuba has been growing, although the
general business interests of the island
we're unfavorably affected by the
change from American occupation to
Cuban government. 1t is shown
however that, while the imports from
Cuba into this country are increasing
our exports to that country have not
increased, and the supporters of reci-

The Cotton King Gets Even.

James Wilson of Iowa, secretary of
agriculture, has been a member of the
cabinet since March S, 1897 and has
proved a most capable and popular head
of that important department. He has
done all his business without the use of
any fireworks, fuss or feathers. He has
not wasted time in nursing presiden-
tial boomlet, which perhaps is partly
| because he is a native of Scotland and
| therefore not eligible to the presidency,
but mainly because his first thought
| was to do faithfully the work before
him in advancing our great agricultural
interests But now he has met great
rebuff, and it is hard to see how he can
survive it and ever again hold up his
life.
Not much has been heard about the
affair in this part of the country, but
the papers in the South and in Iowa
have been full of it. 1t is nothing less
than a snub at the hands of Brown, the
cotton king. 1t is possible that some of
our readers have not heard of this i'm
portant parsonage, but in cornering the
cotton market, he made himself man
of great consequence in his section of
the country. Secretary Wilson had the
audacity to refer to him as a gambler
a RI
able business enterprise. He has just
been down to New Orleans and while
there he visited the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr.. Brown was there and his
coterie of cotton spectators. Mr.
Brown saw Secretary Wilson enter, de-
liberately turned his back, and while
the secretary was present kept his back
turned and his face to the wall. In this
dignifed position he evened up his score
with the secretary, and showed to the
adniring cotton ring that he knew how
to resent any imputation upon their
motives and methods as lit should be
done.
New Orleans was so greatly excited
about this occurrence, and, judging
from the tone of the papers, seemed
surprised that the secretary could bear
up so bravely under the ordeal instead
of being overcome by the rear view he
was compelled to take of the cotton
gamblers. Some secretaries might not
have survived such terrible blow, but
Mr.. Wilson is hardened by the rugged
exposure of early life on a western
ranch, and it is even possible that he
would not have tainted or run away if
M. Brown had shook his fist at him.
He even persists in keeping up cheer
full frame of mind, and thus far has not
given the public any revised opinion of
the cotton king and his enterprise.

Within the russet garden
The gay pink cosmos waves,
A roSeate survival
Above a thousand graves.
The summers host have persisted
Amid their grassy tombS,
But. bright above the ruin.
The cosmos bends and blooms.
The hedge is bleak about it,
The trees are brown and bare,
Yet still the cosmos fiutterS
Upon the bitter air,
And June with all it's graceS
OF rosy twig and spray
Neer fashioned lower flowers
Than these that blow today.
From out the North tomorrow
The frosty winds may frown
Upon the russell garden
And fling the cosmos down,
But this one day it triumphs
Above the drfted leaves,
A joy that has it's sources
Beyond world that grieves.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The biggest gold brick in the world is
the experience that one buys.
When an old chap marries a young
woman he must feel like a man who has
robbed his best friend.
A girls idea of how to keep her feet
warm is to wear fur boa, a picture ha t
or pearl necklace.
A good cure for fever blsters on a girl s
mouth is for her mother to stay in the
room when men call on her.
A splendid thing to promote her happi-
ness is for a man to be so absent minded
that he will make love to his wife.
