Flower Trimmed Frocks

Artificial flowers are used for the
trimming of gowns this summer. and
even carriage robes have flower or
two crushed against the girdle, says
the New York Press. Flower trimmed
evening gowns are not unusual, since
this is n favorable fashion for debu-
tantes. Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster
wore ut u recent luncheon in Newport
n pale yellow muslin gown with a
broad girdle of yellow silk. Two or
ange hued flowers were tucked into the
girdle. and another orange cOlored bios
som was poised cOquettishly under one
ear. These flowers saved the gown
from being commonplace. but for ma
irons this flower fad is not safe.

A Chinese Dog story.

one in China:
There was a Chinaman who had
three dogs. When he came home one
evening he found them asleep on his
couch of teakwood and marble. whip
ped them and drove them forth.
THE next night when he came home
the dogs were lying on the floor. But
he placed his hand on the couch and
found it warm from their bodies; there
fore he gave them another whipping.

than usual, he found the dogs sitting
before the couch, blowing on il to cool

The Pleasures of Youth.
WHAT. WE MISS.

Do you remember the little things that
gave us so much pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down
to the table after our play was over and
eat the mush and milk our mother put
before us, which tasted like the nectar
OF the gods. But as we get older it
takes more to give us pleasure. Mush
and milk no longer tastes good to us,
and our digestion may be impaired. We
are told we Canot eat this or that because
it is bad for the stomach. The fact is
that whatever our stomach Graves it
pretty nearly always digests. "What
is one mans meat is another mans
poison" If there is something in the
way of meat, vegetables or fruit that
We long for, then our storuachs are
pretty sure to take care Of that article.
The reason is that the appearance of
the longed-for article will cause the
saliva to pour forth from the glands,
the juices from the stomach are in
creased, and as a consequence the
stomach does the rest. Through the
constant dinging into our ears that GER
tain things are irdigestible, we lose a
great deal in the pleasures of the table
and our stomach is weakened by taking
many foods that are pre-digested or so
easily digested that the stomach! is weak
ened from nou-use, Just the same as the
muscles of orr arms will become small
and weak if lot used. The best advice
We can give to, such a person is to forget
what you are eating. Don't listen to
carpcrs or health-food crauks. Tone up
the stomach with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is natures most
valuable and health-giving agent-made
without the use of alcohol. 1t contains
roots, herbs and banks, and is the con-
centration of natures vitality as found
in the fields and woods. This remedy
has a history which speaks we'll for it
because it was given to the public by
DR.. R. V. Pierce, founder OF the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. ", nearly forty years ago,
and has since been sold by druggists in
ever increasing quantities. Some medi-
cines, tones or compounds, enjoy a
large sale for a few years, then disappear
from the public attention, but Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such a reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence
of several generations in a family, and
its increased sales year by year coming
from the recommendations of those who
have tried it, prove its lasting merit, S

WHY 1T SUCCEEDS.
Because It's for One Thing Only and
Laramie Is Learning This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing
only.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache; every kidney
Ill.
Here is Laramie evidence to prove
it:
A. ]. Johnson Of 7O9 Eighth street
says: when I first learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and went to the
Laramie Drug company's store for them
the pain in my back was just commenc-
ing. fused the treatment as directed and
the aching ceased. So pleased was l
with the speedy cure that l advised a
friend of mine to try the remedy and
following my advice she took a course
of one treatment. The results were
equally as pronounced as in my case.
This, I think, stamps Doan's Kidney
Pills as a medicine up to the represen-
tations made for it. I should always
be pleased to advise its use"

TEACHER
WHO MADE SUCH A STRENUOUS
FIGHT TO SAVE TOM HORN
WRITES STORY OF LIFE.
Miss ~Gwendoiyn Myrtle kimmei Com
pletes Manuscript After Months
of Hard Work-Teils CobIe That
She Should Write Book and Ccble
Puts in Some Blows.

Miss G~wendolyn Myrtle kimmel, aft
er three months of hard work, has
completed the task she set out to do
says the Denver Post.
The Wyoming school teacher who
made such a strenuous fight to ave
the life of the cattle detective and in
turn was arrested on the charge of
perjury, finished her work yesterday.
Miss KENNEL has been in Denver
for the past few months, living first
at 1914 Sherman avenue. but of late
has been rooming in 1915 Sherman
avenue. In addition to her writing she
has been working in an office in the
Equitable building.
She has kept her presence in Den
yer as secret as possible. making few
friends INT devoting all her time to
the task of writing Tom Horns life.
While the school teacher knew lit
tie Of the early life of Horn beyond the
stories he had told her, she knew
from personal observation of his work
and actions during the past few years.
NO" she said to John C. Coble.
mo one must write this book but
myself. have the ability. l can
write. l have long wanted to be a
writer. Then. too. l knew Tom, knew
his habits. his good points and | can
better picture them"
Before Horn was executed he COM
pleted the final chapters of his book.
He wrote some 5000 words, all with
pen and ink. The copy is remark
ably good, clear and well connected.
However. there were mistakes and
then Horn grew bitter in spots and
wrote things that some of his friends
thought it would be better to leave IN
said.
Mr.. Coble brought the manuscript
to Denver owe three months ago and
turned it over to a local newspaper
mar for correction.
The book contains a statement from
Mr.. Coble and one from Miss kimmel.
along with the story of Tom Horn.
Cohle's statement was a bitter one
filed with attacks on judge. juries
and newspaper men.
am N''o . wv s'i'HS' "a
said, but | want to do a little roast
ing on my own hook. for | have had
plenty of it directed against me-" He
Mas advised to tone down his part of
the book and did so.
There was an effort on the part of
some people to keep the book from
ever being published. 1t is said that
Mrs. Coble requested her husband TO
give up the idea. but he later convinced
her that it was the best for all parties
concerned to have the facts as given
by Horn made public.
In addition to this. Coble said he was
entitled to get back some of the thou
sands he spent in the defense of Horn.
That's the only way l can ever pay |
you back" Horn is quoted as saying
that is. II they get me. You can have
all the money the book earns"
When Miss Kimmel learned that the
story of Horns life was in the hands
of an editor she went to Coble and de-
clared mo newspaper man could cor
rect the story, for he would be sure to
make Mr.. Horn attack himself"
Miss Kimmel is as firm today in her
belief that Horn died an innocent man
she was before the execution.
