We do not believe you have ever seen
a finer line of dolls together than we are

buy dolls elsewhere; you cannot match
either the assortment or the price.

GIVES LIFE AS SACRIFICE.
In Religious Frenzy, Young Girl
Votary of New Cult Perishes
from Flames of Pyre.

Chicago.-Made insane by new
religion, Miss Frances Wakley, of this
city, built funeral pyre of papers and
books of her cult, lighted it and per-
ished from the flames.
For four months Miss Wakley, who
was % years old, had been member
of sect recently arisen in Englewood,
which teaches the near approach of the
millennium. She had been fasting and
praying for several days, her only
nourishment being little rice. From
her dying words it was gathered vi

ordering her to offer herself sacrifice.
Her mother and a neighbor heard
groans and rushed to the young wom-
ans room. She lay across the bed and
beneath and about her books and pa
pers by which her cult had been spread
were blazing. The neighbor seized q
blanket and attempted to beat out the
flames. The girl waved her away.
Il lay down my life gladly at the
call of the Redeemer," she cried. He
ordered this sacrifice last night. You
are SHINING not to allow me to die"
Miss Wakley died soon after being
taken to the hospital

BATTLE WITH
BEARS IN DEN
ADVENTURE OF TWO HUNTERS
IN MOUNTAIN CAVE.
DOG Is TORN TO PIECES.
Men Are Lost in Wilderness and Take
Refuge in Home of Animals
Four Bruins Killed in
Desperate Fight.

Chichesterville, N. Y.-An experience
Astounding in danger recently befell
Frank Bliss and Jake Van Thomson on
West Kill mountain, and this is their
story of the adventure:
Accompanied by two hounds. they had
struck bear tracks early in the day. and
followed them until toward evening
when it began showing. They gave I'D
the chase, and in trying to retrace their
steps discovered that they were lost. not
only in mountain wilderness. but in a
raging snowstOrm as we'll.
Coming to halt, they looked around
and sighted hollow in the rocks that.
on closer inspection, revealed a cave
that would furnish refuge for the
night. They Immediately began gath
ering wood, and quickly had a huge
heap of it, sufficient to last them until
morning. They soon had cheerful fire
blazing, and as the freight flooded the
cave one of their dogs rose and. glazing
toward the back of the cave, barred his
teeth and began to bay loudly. Spring
ing to their feet, the men looked in that
direction and saw four pairs of eyes
shining in the darkness

son, and both hunters threw open the

cartridges loaded with heavy buckshot.
simultaneously the eyes disappeared
and the dogs bounded into the darkness
OF the cave. Grabbing up blazing pine

hand and hatchets in belts, followed
At an angle in wall they found a
narrow passage leading into another
cave, and their flaming pine knots
brought retreating bear into view.
They were in bears den, probably the
home of the one that they had been fol-
lowing all day. Urging on their dogs,
they entered the second cave, and there
saw four bears. One of them big male.

with four dead bears and one dead dog.
and it had all taken place by the light of
the burning pine-knot, which had been
dropped to the floor of the cave when
they saw the bear.
After thorough search as matter of
precaution, the hunters returned to the
outer chamber of the cave and went to
sleep by the fire.
On the following morning they got
their bearings and went away, but re-

Britain's Ancient Monuments

In our own land ancient monuments
for the most part take care of them
selves, or depend on the irregular as
sistance proffered from time to time by
their private friends. Only in the case
of very few is the protection of the
ancient monument acts available,
though in Ireland the national monu-
ments are far better treated. If the
Importance of the preservation of the
remaining specimens of our older town

possible in very many cases to devise
a way of meeting modern requirements,
while yet preserving what is old.-Lon.

Origin of the HONEYMOON

The honeymoon used to last month.
The accepted notion is that it must
be spent away from home, in order that
the happy pair may get thoroughly ac-
quainted without being victims of the
curiosity of relatives and friends. II
is SO called from the habit of the an
cient Germans Of drinking "hydromel,"
which is a mixture of honey and water.
for 80 days after marriage. Hydromel
fermented contains enough alcohol to
make man intoxicated in short order,

royal old drunk. Attila, the Hun. in

Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Amy
little excitement, or oves-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain, or
wedge splitting it open, or a band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, oneof the COM
monet results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid Of the
diseased condition Of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
For more than seven years I was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became so restless that could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that was on the point
Of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
longed."
"What saved you from that necessity"
ga very simple thing; the call Of q
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
before givingu up. acted ON her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months. my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.

MOUSE FOILS PRISON PLOT
Four Desperadoes Had Planned to
Kill Jail Guards and Make
Their Escape.

Ctncinnati.-With. a. note tied to, its
tail a wee mouse tipped off officials to
a daring attempt of four desperadoes
to saw their way out of the Cincinnati
prison and murder guards by whole
sale, ii necessary, in order to secure
their freedom.
The mouse mad BEEN drafted as an
unwilling messenger between the pris-
oners, and the slip of paper attracted
the attention of an ever vigilant guard.
The men who planned the break
were James Berry. no dup man:
James Taylor, diamond thief; Earl
Moore. serving time for two Cffenses.
and James Mcguire, ex-convict of
Joliet. The men had secured saws and
two iron bars were sawed in Berry's
cell and one in Taylor's The prison
ers had planned to kin Guards Bishop,
Henry Asset and William Hetrick. if

freedom
Three saws, were found in Moore's
cell. In Taylor's the off ,iais struck a
dozen hack saws and a steel frame was
found in his bed ticking. A murder
GUS oak club 20 inches long and a
large dirk were also located
They have been planning for weeks
to escape, and their mode of communi-
cation was, perhaps, the most novel
ever heard of. Berry would catch a
mouse. tie note to its tail, and as the
rodent passed the cell of Mcguire he
would catch it and get the message
