a Woman's Appearance.

There was Il time when n woman
going to look for Il situation put on her
oldest or poorest clothes either to eX-
cite sympathy or to demonstrate that
she was very hard up indeed. But
all that has changed, and the woman
who goes in search of work presents
as good an appearance as possible.
appreciating that it multiplies the ad-
verse odds to appear out at elbows
and on the verge of poverty, says the
New York Sun.
There are women who contend that
to be well dressed is only within
range of Il few. But there are others
who have given the question consid-
cradle care, and they assert that it Is
within the power of all. provided the
matter is approached from the stand
point of common sense. Failure is
due not to want of money. but to
want of appreciation of merit or de-
merit and to n certain slavish order
of mind which leads to blind fol-
lowing of fashion. without seriously
considering whether it 10 the fashion
for ones self or not.
Here of course lies the differ
ence between the dressmaker and the
artist in dress. The purses of many
are not long enough for the demands
OF the latter. and therefore 1t is more
incumbent on the majority to study
seriously the requirements of their
own physiques. so that they may sup
ply to the dressmaker the want which
is so costly in the hands Of the artist.
namely. the knowledge of certain in
vlolable lines on which their clothing
must be built. and to which the reign
ing fashion must inevitably give way.
The pity of it all is that woman in
the pursuit of the beautiful in dress
does not always study it from the
end and object of 1t ALTO present
ones personality in its most attractive
guise-is common to the sex, but at
talnment is reserved for the few.
Possibly this arises from the fact
that though women may be fully
alive TO their attractions. they show n
lamentable ignorance of their defects.
Indeed. full realization of both is
indispensable TO success in this i'm.
portant matter. For all-important II

Ola SeadOg was man OF nerve. he
was unacquainted with fear. And he
was most interested in the success of
the northsiders in the impending trou-
BILE. While the fishermen's employ
ment and wages were at stake, old Sea-
dogs property was involved. He loved
this as he did his life and took COM
mand of the armed fishermen with the
fTmness of an experienced admiral who
meant to win the battle at any sacrifice.
Seventy-five men had been gathered
in the rush and others were expected
to follow under the leadership of one
of Seadog's sons who had been given
another commission to perform. He
had been instructed to dispatch coul :
Ter to the county seat to notify the
sheriff. This official would commune
cate with the governor, who in turn
would order out the state militia.
The trouble had been under discus
sion for years. 1t had entered politics
and was the means of arousing the ami
mostly of two states. The officers on
the south side of the. liver stood by
their fishermen, and those on the north
side were equally as loyal. 1t was an
Interstate affair and needed but the
firing of gun to awaken a large citi-
zenship and plunge the two states into
most serious complications.
Many of the fishermen on both sides
are ignorant foreigners, desperate char
acters by reason of their calling and
the hardships of fisherman's life, and
when once al oused to arms would lose
their reason. Bloodshed and riot were
now expected in their reddest form.
Women and children looked out
across the black pay with anxious eyes
and abated breath. Their fathers and
brothers and sons were stealing along
the dark line to death or victory. They
watched for the flash and listened for
the report of the guns that meant death
to some of their number, for they could
not expect otherwise than that some oil
their loved ones must go.
There was none more sad and more
anxious than Sapkala. She constantly
left the bedside of the sleeping Ring
void and gazed out into the gloom
which still overshadowed the bay
Their only friend was there. but sh,

Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and com uendation testifying to
the merits of Peruna as cstarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union.
DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds
OF such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor ar
tisan, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy. are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Amy man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catairh is well nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of ca
tarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of its victims.
Peruna not only cures cata-rh, but
prevents 1t. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs. colds and so forth.
The ex-governor of Oregon is an ard
ent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
continually in the house.

Growth or European Population

Few persons have any idea OF the
extraordinary manner in which the
population of Europe has increased
during the last century. According to
statisticians this population has more
than doubled itself from 1880 to 1900.
TO this increase the Latin nations of
tho west and southwest contributed
the least and the greatest growth was
In the east, where the people have
not yet become thoroughly saturated
with the ideas OF modern civilization.

Motley is true to the first part of his

President Roosevelt's announcement
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election disposes of a question which
might have caused much controversy.
Already some attention had been given
to the matter of whether he was to be
considered, four years from now, as
having served two terms or one. If he
should want to run in 1905 would the
unwritten law against a third term
operate against him? On one hand it
was urged that he could say he had
only been elected once and had occu-
pied the executive chair up to the be-
ginning of the 1904-S term merely to fill
out McKinley's term, and that he was
entitled to two elections as president if
he could get them. On the other hand
it was pointed out that he will have
served most of two terms when 1908
comes. He has settled the whole mat
ter by definitely stepping out of the
race and now it is up to the leaders to
see who can succeed him. The next
Republican convention will be probably
no such tame affair as the last one
was. There are Taft Root Hay, Shaw,
and half a dozen others who are likely
to be after the nomination.

credit for having made an excellent
showing in encampment with the fed

writes with the care of an expert and
criticizes where he feels that criticism
is due, but on the whole his report is
such as to encourage the members of
the militia and those who are in charge
of military work here.

aThe report that japanese are Offering
terms to the Russian soldiers in Port
Arthur, ignoring General Stoessel, fol-
lows naturally after a report that
Stoessel stations men in command of
forts which are about to be attacked
with orders that they are simply
to hold their positions, regardless of
cost, and with notice that if they give
an order to retreat, he will have them
executed when they return. Anoth-
er report is that the general emphati-
cally declares that while there are a
thousand men left in Port Arthur, he
will not give the word to surrender.
These reports may not be very accu-
rate, but they probably give a correct
idea of the desperate conditions
which prevail in the Russian fort.
