An Eminent Physician Gives to the
 World Marvellous PrescriptiOn.

One of the leading physicians in America, who has made a life study of the treatment of diseases peculiar to women, and who met with unvarying success in a large and varied private and santtorium practice. has given to the suffering women of our country the benefit of his life's work. This emi : nent specialists prescription is now sold by all the leading druggists every where under the name of Femlnala. and may be had at the nominal price of $1.00 a bottle.
 Feminala is actually a boon to af- f1icted women. In the great majority of instances it does more than benefit 1t absolutely cures.
 Feminala is a specific. That means that it cures upon a principle peculiar to itself; that it cures in manner not common to another medicine.
 In this sense, Feminala cures by re- moving or eradicating the cause, not by treatment of the disease itself.
 For instance-take the simple and easily understood case of Ieucorrhoea, known among women as female weak ness" Leucorrhoea is disorder growing out of inflammation of tho uterus, or the womb so what is the use of treating leucorrhoea unless the cause is removed, which Is infiamma- tion of the womb?
 Thus-with Feminala, it cures by go- ing down deep and removing the cause. then imparting strength and normal character to the parts that the cure may be sure and permanent.
 Not to WOmen.-A sample bottle of Feminala and a book concerning dis eases peculiar to women will be mailed, in a plain sealed package free upon re- quest, if addressed to The American Drug Company. Montgomery. Ala Write for 1t today. adV-(D

| on reading his paper and eating infin- | itesimal bits of cheese. On this occasion Ellsworth did him. self proud. It was a new restaurant, and he thought the least he could do
 was to order a monster dinner. He or dered 1t, and everything was to his liking.
 Warily he kept his eyes upon the old
 man. Finally he caught the old man looking at him.
 Good fare" said the old man. At least 1t looks so.'
 Very good indeed" said Ellsworth, T like to eat." went on the old man. Usually" he added, as though apolo- giZing for the slender repast of which he was then partaking. usually l am a very heavy eater" T don't eat much as a rule." return ed Ellsworth. The old man sighed. and was apparently about to drink his last dregs of coffee-to bolt his last morsel of cheese, when unfortunately a heavy editorial caught his eye and he soon was deep in 1t as any man might be. Ellsworth took this opportunity to fin ish his meal, and softly laying his big check down beside the old mans plate. face downward, he seized the old mans in return, donned his hat and strode genteely down the aisle. As he swung around he felt for his thirty cents, and had it ready, so that if the old man did finish while he was still en route to the cashier he could pay up and bet out without unnecesa- ry discussion. Time. he reasoned with himself. was of the essence of the transaction. When he reached the casters desk there was line of men waiting to pay
 up. This meant delay. But Ellsworth saw that there were two uniformed
 men at the entrance watching for any delinquent customers, so he felt that he must be patient. At last he reached
 his turn. As he did so he saw the old man rise and look at the check that
 Ellsworth left behind, and 1t seemed to Ellsworth that there was some surprise depicted on his face.
 Ellsworth slapped his check down on
 the cashiers desk and then planked l down his thirty cents. The cashier looked at the check and
 then al the thirty cents "Theree dollars and niety- five cents | more. if you please" she said, with a sweetness of manner that was nothing | if not taking.
 "W-what" gasped Ellsworth. Exactly" she returned. Your check
 was just $i25. you see" Ellsworth looked and wilted. Then he realized that the old man had not
 been eating small meal, but had been finishing big one. And the pity of it was that the check
 that Ellsworth had left behind him | called for just $2.5O. Still Ellsworth told himself later. T fed my face. at that" At present, Titsworth's meals don't cost him any
 thing at all.

THE DINER OUT.
HY WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE.

 tCopyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub.
 Col
 MT. Timothy Ellsworth was. perhaps. the only man in the borough of Man haitian who knew how to get first-class meals for ten cents on the dollar.
 sThe best" he was wont to remark "the best is always the cheapest-at least 1t is for me-
 MT. Titsworth's method was the out growth of an extreme modesty of purse. and a moderate indifference to the ethics of polite society.
 His method was nonc of the usual It consisted neither Tn sponging on his friends, nor in devouring daily the entire lunch counter in beer saloon
 Such are continuous performances that don't last long," he told himself ''My speciality belongs to the legiti- mate"
 His plan was simple. He was wont to enter any crowded lunch room and drop into a seat opposite any sindivid- ual who ate a purely frugal meal. Then with an air which was Mir. Tits worth's alone. he would turn to the bustling waitress.
 ''Gimme," he would remark, "half a dozen raw. mock turtle soup. a bit of stuffed turkey, rare cut of beef, bit of lettuce. pineapple ice and a cup of coffee. and bring 1t quick, and bring 1t good-for me-"
 And yet at this juncture. if any per son made a minute examination of MT. Titsworth's pockets, he would have had difficulty in turning up a quarter of a dollar. MT. Ellsworth. indifferent as to this fact, would eat his meal with relish. and then. by a sleighet of hand performance which was the result of long practice, he would exchange his Eoodly dinner check for the check of the office boy or the typewriter oppo- site, who had lunched on soup and eclaire. and the sum total of whose midday dissipation had been perhaps lust fifteen cents. And here Err. Timo- thy Ellsworth came out strong. He never lodged the cashier and walked put without paying at all. us many eommon fellows do. He walked boldly 70 the cashiers desk and paid hts check for fifteen cents out of his quarter which he had somewhere in his clothes

STORIES OF SOL SMITH RUSSELL.
They Are Recalled By an old Travelling
 Salesman.

Indianapolis Journal.
 T remember Sol Smith Russell as he was many years ago. long before fame came upon him." said a travelling man at the Denison recently.
 At that time" continued the saIes- man, Russell was travelling about the country with an organization of Swiss bell ringers the members of which were the Berger family into which Russell afterwards married. as you doubtless know. The bell ringers had system of bells graduated in tone from soprano through tenor and alto to bass, and they produced from these music of an indescribably soft and sweet kind by lifting the bells by their hands and shaking them gently. Rus sell was not q bell rlnger. He did il kind of monologue turn. much like those you encounter in modern vaude- ville theaters and his act was sand wlched In between portions of the reg ular performance. Russells first step into fame was through his inimitable singing of quaint ditty entitled. I Wear Knee Brooches Cause I Don't Like Pants, so Does My Sisters an Nv Cousins an my Aunts.'
 Russell had another stunt that made a big hit. In this part of his turn he appeared on the stage dressed in freakish calico wrapper. wearing on his head a woman's wig of true old maid pattern-corksCrew Curls and all and told in side-splitting pIaintive- ness of her trials and tribulations in love making
 The first time I ever heard one of James Whitcomb Rileys poems recited in public was by Sol Smith Russell and he did it in the old Grand Opern House right here in Indianapolis. think the piece was 'Nuthin Tall to Say. My Daughter; Nuthin' Tall to Say fears after all this that l have been ceiling you about. when Russell was traveling with his own company or with repertory organization, he would almost invariably be compelled to come out and recite some of these at the special request of early friends and admirers, He kept this up almost to the time of his last appearance on the stage.
 Sol smith Russell was one of the distinctive successes on the American stage, for he was realist absolutely He had the courage to depart from all the early artificial traditions of the stage and developed school of acting peculiarly his own"
 As the old traveller uttered tho words last quoted his form was erect and his eyes flashed even through the Anis ture, testifying eloquently' the affection and esteem in which he held the de- parted creator of laughter.

and then he would saunter out leav- ing the unsuspecting and impecunious office boy to settle for. or otherwise ex- plain, the existence of Titsworth's larg CT check.
 His scheme was so complete and per fected that he seemed to know in- stinctively just what seat to choose. what walter to beguile and what res- taurant to enter. So far at least he had never made a mistake.
 I've lived we'll" Ellsworth told his friends. 'and on very little money. have solved the secret of the solution of the mystery of food"
 MT. Ellsworth could not practice his little scheme every day, for if he had 1t would be necessary to exhaust per haps 800 or 400 restaurants q year. If possible he never entered the same res taurant twice, and he was fond of test ing all the new restaurants that he could find. But once a week or once in two weeks he would feast sumptu- ously. The balance of the time he ate just what he could pay for. and noth- ing more-a habit, be 1t said. that few men have.
 It was a time when Ellsworth had half starved for full three weeks that he determined to sample to the top of his bent the wares in the new Manhat- tan borough restaurant on Fourteenth street He entered lazily Once In. he found that almost every seat was occu- pied. He walked up ono aisle and down another. Finally, however. he discov- . cred a prize in the shape of a prosy. shabby genteel old gentleman engaged in the slow and solemn process of read ing a newspaper most of the time, and slipping five cent cup of coffee, re- inforced by crackers and cheese only. in between.
 This is the party that lin looking for" thought Ellsworth, with relief.
 He seated himself and gave his order. He did so hastily. because he was not sure just when the old man would take 1t into his head to finish up his sim pie refreshment. and he doubted the advisability of attempting in this well ordered restaurant to dodge the cash fer without paying anything at all He had thirty cents In his pocket. But he was very hungry. and he was used to taking chances. and he was quite sure that the old man was good for twenty minutes or a quarter of an hour at the outside. The old man on his part never noticed Ellsworth but kept

Obstruction of Streets.

If our City Council is going to give up the streets to the Street railways" declared citizen warmly, they ought to make them work at night"
 Then he pointed to the pile of de- bris and the ugly holes on Court Square.
 That work may be necessary he continued. but there ought to be some restriction placed on 1t. I understand 1t Is to continue several weeks or at the pleasure of the street railway.
 If the Mayor would issue a peremp- tory order that this work had to be completed by given time 1t would force of of men to work at night and complete the job. This is the thing that ought to be done.
 The street railways have manifest ed a complete disregard for the public and our city officials should make them respect the convenience of the people,
