Ballad of Fashions.

Where are the fashions of yesterday
Garments our elders sometime wore?
Styles that, smiling, we now survey
In many a magazine of yore.
Where are those garbs ourselves for
swore
And scornfully dropped beside the way2
Knocking, in truth, at To-morrow's
door.
There are the fashions of Yesterday!
Peg-top trousers that long held sway,
Casing the legs of far-back beaux,
Of tailors' gooses were late the lay
Us it geese, or gooses, who knows,
who knowsD
Skirts that fared over dainty toes
Flare again DER the toes of May
So chic a damsel you'd scarce suppose
Would wear the fashions of yesterday!
And points, outre, are again au fait!
(Ring the knell of the bulldog last)
And thicker and thicker come tripping
Those high French heels of the
frowned-on past!
And punctured sleeves are initiating
fast,
And laces slip from retirement gray,
And pokes and bonnets their shadows
cast
Hail to the fashions of yesterday
Man and maiden, who'd scorn, egad,
Things in the slightest sense passe.
This very moment, dear hearts, you're
clad
Simply in fashions of yesterday!
-Edwin L. Sabin in Puck.

PLACE OF SKULLS
GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF PIECE
OF CALIFORNIA LAND.
One Million Acres, Recently Thrown
Open to Entry, Worthless to the
Settler-Strewn with the Skeletons
of Prospectors and Bones Of Settlers.

On June Is, 1903, 100000 acres OF
land in California were thrown open
to entry. This may be taken up either
under the desert land act or as home
steads in ten-acre tracts. The strip
stretches from Mojave to the Colorado
river.
We wish TO warn all intending set
tiers to let this land alone. There Is
good deal OF talk about making the
desert blossom as the rose" Some
deserts blossom, but not this one. No
body will ever do more for his desert
than Mother Nature has done. The
only blooming nature has brought
about there is that it's freckled bosom
blossoms with large alkali postules or
plmples, punctuated with sage brush
and cactus. This sums up the fora
Of the new promised land. The fauna
includes jack rabbits, horned toads,
ella monsters and venomous snakes.
The soil is coarse gravel, and on
TOP of the coarse gravel there is fine
alkali powder which, when the wind
blows-and the wind blows often
sweeps over the scorching and barren
land like the dreaded sandstorms of
the Sahara, which, by the way, they
much resemble. Even far to the
southwest, across the lofty mountain
ranges, these desert sandstorms some
times sweep, reaching the favored
jewellers in southern California in the
midst of their orange groves. Even
this distant touch of the desert winds
causes trees to wither, grass to scorch
and men and animals to suffer keenly.
Over this dreadful desert the sun
moves like a ball of fire across a sky
Of brass. Rarely does a cloud break
the intensity of the pitiless rays.
Those credulous persons who may
believe that this is the kind of desert
which, by irrigation, may be turned
into q garden are doomed to disap-
continent. There is no water on this
desert strip. The waters of the Col
orado may be led on the lands of the
Yuma desert, but that is far lower in
level than are these. Much Of this
Mojave strip is at an elevation OF
Z,OOU Vi O,OVV ItCl. Ao III al INoioh
water, the writer personally knows OF
one we'll which was bored for nearly
1000 feet, ending in igneous rock and
producing nothing but profanity.
The last hope for the settler on this
barren land would be the discovery
of the precious metals. They may ex
list there. We do not say they can not
be found. But we know that the land
has been prospected by experienced
miners for half a century. If ten
derfoot can find gold mine where an
ola California miner fails he is a
smart tenderfoot. But we doubt his
success.
We warn all eastern people not to
be deluded by false, even If well-mean-
ing, representations concerning this
strip of land between Mojave and the
Colorado river. 1t is strewn with the
skeletons of prospectors, the bones of
animals. 1t is a place OF skulls

SC|AT|C TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY Mr.. MARSTON
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn ina
Bcd-He Tells of a Remedy Which

For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-He Tells of a Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself TO be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about a
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man coual possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: 81 was attacked by
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away in
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When /
finally succeeded in getting home, it was
just as much as could do to reach my
room and get TO bed.
1.-The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try 60 leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for j couldn't get out of
bed If wanted TO. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment L attempted to move any
part Of my body, the pain became so ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice of
friend bought q box Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at a dose, three times day. 1 was de-
termined to give them n thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after began to use
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
/ was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. 1 think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and heartily recommend them TO
anyone who suffers from sciatica"
Mr.. Marston is prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles p. Marston, Hampton p. O.,
New Hampshire. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par
alysis and .locomotor ataxia. They are
sold by all druggists.

Expensive Eye of a Potato.

The potato boom has not yet run its
course in Lincolnshire, and a we'll
known cultivator, Mr.. T. A. Scarlet
visiting Spalding weekly market, I'M
derwent much heckling as to the
single tuber he paid eco for to Mr..
Findlay, the originator of the North
ern Star and FL Dorado varieties. Mr..
Scarlet said he had since been offered
G25 for this potato, but had refused
the offer. AS, however, the would-bc
purchaser was very pressing, he al
lowed him to cut out single eye for
the sum of G5. This is probably the
first time in the history of the potato
that a single eye from one has had a
bank-note value.-London Tit-Bits.

An eminent physician says that
women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to q
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There Gamble no more terrible ordeal
TO delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician
I This is especially the case with I'M
2married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue TO suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands OF women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinlxham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
ffyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
wild advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.
