The House has set a proper example
in the first week of the session. Inc

A Woman's Wealth,
Paine's Celery
Compound
GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

It IS maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF us
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the TACT
that there are thousands in our midst VINO,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion OF life power, nave
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and deblll-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,

BEATING THE WIND
On a TObOggan the Most Exciting
and Dangerous of Sports.
From Outinp

From Outing.
The chief Dayos run, the Holsters
course, is over the last two miles of
tiers, although when the track is in
good condition a much longer dis
lance can be ridden. AS rule, there
is plenty of snow during the winter
months; sometimes, however, there
has been a scarcity of this precious
article, and the races had to be run
on a road coated with ice. Fancy
dashing down two miles of this slip
perry surface at full pace! Those who
have not experienced the sensations of
tobogganing or witnessed a race can
not possibly realize how intensely eX-
citing such run can be. AS each
corner is approached the rider imag-
ines that it must be his last, He feels
as if he were being drawn to the side
of the track and over the bank by
an irresistible magnetic force, and yet
he struggles on, while the pace quick
ems as he rusheS down the track of
ice, half insensiA e at times, yet in
stinctively doing the right thing at
the right moment. The first sharp
corner is successfully taken. On he
flies toward a dreaded zigZag. A few
vigorous efforts, a sharp dig with
expectation, and once more he has the
straight road before him. There is no
time to think of the past success, for
there are more obstacles to conquer.
A nasty corner, the sharpest of all,
is still to come. Here it is only few
yards off. His rake pcrashes down, a
strong muscular effort, "a desperate
shove, a shuttle, short moment of
suspense, and it is passed like a shot.
Now for the final wild rush down the
last straight run. A few seconds more
and the last corner is reached. A
repetition of the last maneuver brings
him round. Yet few yards, and he
glides swiftly past the winning post.
The cheers of his friends crowding
around the finish sound DULY in his
ears, while for a few seconds he sits
exhausted on his skeleton. A minute
later the screams of the excited look
ers-on announce the arrival of an
other man, one of the favorites. At
a terrific pace, he approaches, but,
alas, too quickly; for instead of round
ing the corner he dashes over the side
into a. heap of snow-such is the fate
of even the best of riders occasionally.
In 1897, when the Holsters track was
coated with ice, Mr.. BERTHE Dwyer
rode the two miles in the splendid time
of minutes "a seconds.
