SELF-CONSCiOUSNESS.

Quality that We Americans Need to
Rid Ourselves OF.
Thoreau characteristicaliy says: eff
you want to know a mans faults, ask
his friends They will not tell you, but
they know" 1t is because we believe
so thoroughly in America and Ameri-
cans that we interest ourselves in try
ing to find out our faults. One such oc-
ours to us to which it seems worth
self-consciousness- thing which does
a vast deal toward h."1aring the free
dom of the individual. Ii is this con-
tinual consciousness Of tLat makes
us Americans SO fearful of what our
neighbors hink of us; that hampers
less able to act as our right reasoning
would dictate. The EngliShman. FIR
instance, sails along. calmly ignoring
the whole world. This attitude is pro-
vocative of much humor at his eX-
pense, but does he not do better by
himself than the man who is continu-
ally looking from right to left to see
what people think about him? The
latter is so busy that he has no time
to realize himself. mind your own
business and endeavor to be what you
were made" says the quotable Tho
reau. That is what we need to have
drummed into us from day to day.
How people take our jokes, how they
like the cut Of our frocks or our coats,
what they think of our sitting in the
second balcony instead Of the orches-
ira of a theater, whether they think
we are affected because we acknowl-
edge a liking for Browning are
minor matters indeed; but it is over
just such trif1es that many of us waste
precious moments and more precious
brain matter. Let the man and the
woman shake himself or herself free
from the coils of what "they say or
chow it looks" Let them be big
enough not to bother about such little
things. Let them think less about
their own persons, and more how to
enjoy, and profit by, and be good in
the big, interesting world Of people and
things which is all about them

She hurried from the room, hiding her
face as she went, and Percy, mutterinS
something about the selfishness and
fchleness of women, went towards his
cousin, and laid his arm affectionately
on Darcy's shoulder.
Take courage; the most tangled skein
may be unravelled if we do but set about
it patiently, and you will find way out
of your difficulties. 1 dare say"
Thanks for all your kindness, but
You need not make yourself uneasy upon
my account" answered Darcy, forcing a
smile. 81 dare say l shall be strong
enough to bear any ills fate has in store
for me-"
Percy shook his head, but said no
more, and the subject was not REQUIRED
to.

LUCK IN PEACOCK PLUMES.
Common Superstition that They Bring
Ill Fortune Is Unfounded.

Common Superstition that They Bring
Ill Fortune Is Unfounded.
For centuries many people have had
dread of peacock feathers, fearing
that the wearing of them would bring
evil fortune. The superstition has
nothing to warrant it's existence save
its age, for there seems to be little
foundation in history for it. Recently
the publishers Of a well-known English
magazine were forcibly reminded Of
this when they issued their holiday
| number with an elaborate peacock de-
sign on the cover.
The magazine found no sale on the
news stands and the publishers were
actually obliged to recall the issue and
provide a new decoration.
Whether it would be possible to
make thirteen popular is hard to tell.
Perhaps it might be done if fashion
should take it in hand as she has the
peacock feather design. The colorings
are rich and dark toned and are used
for hats, gowns and ribbons in every
variety of style.
Lady CurZon, yicerine Of India, is
surely not prejudeed against the pea
cock feather, for she has an entire
gown made of the applied peacock
eyes. 1t is like a magnificently en-
broidered velvet and marvellous in col
oring.
Stunning buttons are seen made to
initiate the peacock eye They seem TO
have been designed purposely for the
green and blue changeable taffeta
walking suits.
The peacock design appears also in
belt buckles, hatpins, brooches and set
in long chains, with charm of q sin
gle eye inclosed in glass supposed to
be as lucky as the four-leaf clover.
One unique design seen at the opera
was a comb for the back hair of
French gray silver. A peacock feath-
er, exquisitely carved turned over the
top. and the ''eye" was a combination
of Oriental stones in richest greens and
blues.
A few unusual ornaments like this
in woman's je1 ell box add charm.

esty and decency Go not blush, then
they have indeed fed to british beasts.
What a travesty on justice, Wnat a
mockery of the law was the trial ana
acouittal Of Congressman Lattimer In
New York. Although the jury brought
in a verdict of nominal guilt, the good,
kind-hearted Republican judge SAID:
This faithful Republican servant only
technically violated the law. 1t Is
true he got $500 for buncoing the
government, but, poor man, he says ne
didn't know he was doing wrong, ana
1 will only fine him $1,000 and send
him to Jail for one day" Every klndly
hearted person must sympathize with
that Judge for being forced to 90 MS

ing Judgment upon the unfortunate
victim. The tears he shed are no
doubt bottled up with those OF the
saints.-Southern Mercury.

Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1500 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the Southwest.
 Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen, from every one, in brief, who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell it.

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide
 Popularity.

Established for nearly a cen tury and read regularly by more than 5O0,000 persons in the west and southwest, the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable dis tinction, "Favorite Home Pa per-"
 It is great because it has al- ways aimed to inform, instruct and entertain it's readers on all matters of public and home in- terest. In 1904 it will be espe- cially interesting and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for it:
 This is campaign year and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re- ports of the great national and state conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the election, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30  to December l, 1904.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the farm visitor, a regular supplement of the paper, prepared especially for the farmer and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every line of activity, and through the un- surpassed news and special ser vice of the twice-a-week Repub- lie you will not be disappointed.
 In short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and household suggestions the Twice-a-Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies of the great West.
 If you want the Twice-a-Week Republic sent to your address, order it at once direct from the office at St. Louis, Mo-, or through your local newsdealer. It costs only S1 a year.

a bed of sickness and suffering. For the health she now enjoys she gives credit to Wine of Cardui. She writes:
 "1 have found Wine of Cardui an excel. lent remedy for female trouble. Isuffered for three years with terrible bearing.down pains at the menstrual period. l could hardly stand on my feet and was never real well. Wine of Cardui was the only medicine that I could depend on to do me any good, as l tried several with no sue- cess. Wine of Cardui cured me and l have now enjoyed perfect health for two years, and give you all the credit for l know you deserve it."
 For young girl Wine of Cardui is the best remedy to guide her through womanhood by starting the menstrual

ing this treatment. It relieves men, strual troubles in an incredibly short time. In a simple case of deranged menses Wine of Cardui never fails. To relieve disordered menses is to remove the cause of other female troubles. Any physician will tell you that to removes the cause of disease renders the cura3 easy, in fact seldom fails to complet4 the cure. If you would have the same relief which Miss Markell secured try Wine of Cardui. You can take it with out an examination and without an
 publicity whatever. You can take 1t the privacy of your home and seer
 just as much benefit as if doctor s prescribed it for you. Thousandsof
 men are feeling the vigor of retnr,
 health by taking Wine of Cardui. 9'S
