Off for st. Louis.

A. D. McVey and family took
passage this morning on the
Greenland for St. Louis, where
they will spend few weeks at
the Worlds fair. Mrs. Vogan also
left on the Greenland for ST.
Louis, to join her husband, who
is located there. The steamer ar
rived here at 4 o'clock this NOR
ming, and had large excursion
party on board for the great ex-
position. This is the second trip
for the Greenland to the World s
fair, and the demand for passage
is said to have been greater than
the first. This fact is due no doubt
to the popularity created by the
former trip of this elegant steam
er to the Mound City, which
proved so successful.

Women are much more humble
in affairs of the heart than men.
Not only do they demand much
less, to begin with, but they are
always afraid of losing the little
they have. Every married woman
is haunted by a dread that the
time may come when she will be
less attractive to her husband, and
that he will cease to love her. 1t
is this, far more than vanity, that
makes the middle-aged woman
life one frantic struggle against
wrinkles.

it is the most effective skin and
