"Where did you come from, baby dear1
Out OF the everywhere into the here.
Where did you get your eyes SO blue1
Out OF the sky as came through
What makes the light in them sparkle
and spin?
Some of the starry spikes let in.
Where did you get that little teara
found it waiting when got here"
The fact is as sad as it is true that the
baby finds the tear waiting to dull its
blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. At
the first it "has no language but cry"
Its one necessity is but to give express
sion to its suffering, and for that tear
sufices.
The mother who stoops in anguish
over the wailing child would do any
thing to ease its suffering. But she is
helpless. The time when she could have
done 80 much for her child is past. She
did not realize that in those anxious
nervous days when she shrank from the
ordeal of motherhood she was preparing
suffering for the baby.
The path of motherhood is soothed
and made easy for those who use Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t gives
physical buoyancy and mental bright
ness. It tranquilizes the nerves, en-
courages healthy appetite and induces
refreshing sleep. 1t gives the mother
strength for her hour of trial, and the
confidence and content which come
from strength. 1t makes the birth hour
practically painless, and by increasing
the natural, food secretions, it enables the
healthy mother to enjoy the happiness
of nursing her child
vFavorite Prescription contains no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or any
other narcotic.

EDWARD BUTLER ACQUITTED.
Millionaire Politician Not Guilty of
Bribing Members Of House Of Dele |
gates.

Fulton, Mo-, February 6.-Edward
Butler. Of st. Louis, the millionaire
politician who has been on trial on
a charge of bribing members of the
ST. Louis house of delegates to secure
the passage of a city lighting bill in
1899, was acquitted today by a Jury
in Judge Graves court
AS the import of the verdict was
realized, a dozen Of Colonel Buffers
friends gave forth a wild shout and
dashed out of the room and into the
street to spread the news. Butler
stepped quickly from his place and
shook hands with Foreman Rosser.
Then he walked down the line of
jurors shaking hands with each.
Within a few minutes Judge Graves
polled the jury and discharged them.
Friends surrounded Colonel Butler
and after holding an informal levee
all left the room, Butler laughing and
Joking with those about him:
Foreman RoSSer said:
The jurors did not want to convict
the defendant on the testimony Of
boodlers and perjurors, whose state
mentS were fatty contradicted by
men of good character. Again we did
not think the circumstances pointed
10 the defendants guilt. On the evil
dence Of the state, even though we
thoroughly credited it, there was Sc
rious doubt as to Buffers guilt.
Weighing the facts carefully, we think
we did our full duty fairly and i'm
partially
Circuit Attorney Folk had fully ex-
pected a verdict OF conviction or at
least a hung jury. The news that Z
verdict had been reached caused a
commotion at the hotel where Butler
and his friends together with Circuit
Attorney Folk and a score of citizens
had gathered. There was a demon
Stratian.

Mrs. Maybrick's somewhaSAanomat-

WILD TURKEY SHOOTING.

Five methods of circumventing the
 turkey are recognized as legitimate by
 sportsmen, yet two of them are unwor- thy the attention of man who really
 shoots for love of the thing. The qnes- tionable methods are, what may be termed ''ambushing," and shooting on
 the roost Tn the first, the man finds out where a flock is in the habit of feed- ling. hides himself within short range, and waits like cat watching a mouse lhole. Sooner or later, if things work right, the flock appears, the man shoots from a dead rest and kills or misses the finest bird, as the case happens to be. Needless to say, there is no real sport Eeonneeted' with such business. Shoot ling on the roost is far worse. The de- Imand upon ones sportsmanship is about lequal to that connected with stealing chickens when the farmer doesn't keep a dog and the hencoop is way round back of the barn
 A third method, rare but most dash ling, is confined to certain parts of the plain country. It is eoursing with greyhounds, which are followed at the l top speed by a well-mounted man. To | make this possible, the turkey must be thanked while feeding in the open and lrushed toward the great treeless space instead of the rearward scrub, from which the fowl had carelessly ventured too far. A big. fat gobbler is not clever
 on the wing, but almost invariably flies as he is pointed on rising; so when the dogs rush him he sprints few yards to gather way, then springs and flaps away far out on the shelterless level. The dogs chase him by sight, and no matter how much he may gain at the start, they never slacken speed, for they know the big quarry will presently drop ito earth and trust to his legs. Some where within a mile this happens, and once down the gobbler is always as good
 as taken. He fay again take wing, but he cannot repeat his effort, and soon he pitches before the straining hounds which run into him in short order.-Il- l Illustrated Sporting News.

MOST OF THE HUNGARIAN BANDS
 HAVE BEEN EXPORTED.

At rural inns there is music until one and two in the morning, and indeed, if you want it as you have imagined it, played with unrestrained passion by fiddlers in native costumes. you must get away from the great centers. It would seem from a superficial glimpse of Pest that most of the Hungarian or chestras had been exported to the ho- tels and summer gardens of other lands. Relatively few of the cafes have music, and in the big restaurant the ear of the visitor is too often greeted with selections with which he is too familiar at home, but which are. of course, nov cities to the native.3 Even in Pest, if you will go to the theatres or seek char acteristic places, you will hear the wild gipsy tunes given with all the abandon of players the of whose bodies and the sparkle of whose eyes show that they are living their tunes. Only one can not quite recover from the disappoint- ment of his preconceived idea that the orchestras were as numerous as the cafes, and the boulevards were one revel of melody.-From 'Buda and Pest,' by Frederick Palmer. in the December (Chrlstnnas) Scribner's.

THE CARS OF PARIS

By day and night fifteen thousand cabs ply in the streets of Paris. A few hundred of them, blue, drawn by young, mereurial horses, driven by liveried coachmen, bearing neither numbers nor plaques, make snobbish pretense of be- ing private carriages. Of the others, the greater part belong to the three great companies-the Compagnie Gene rale, with it's blue-bellied cabs; the Ur- baine, with cabs decorated with yellow lozenges; the Abeille, with it's cabs stained dull green; in addition there are scores of small stables, whence three or four cabs are sent out. Many cabmen, too, own their own rigs. On the whole, however, the 'sThree Com panies" are masters of the trade.
 Is it a trade? Upon my word, think it is profession and one of the ancient and honorable. The casual rogue has 10 chance of making himself free of the guild. He must, in the first place, be a college graduate duly provided with a diploma. The most notable Coach
