NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From cr,a,

What a fortunate provision of nature
1T is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover. in the height of it's
blooming glory, that a canker fed at it's
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women. but thanks to the in
Vestigations Of scientists the true cause
Of hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ. thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

The New Crops Of Hoss


All Indications point TO the mar
betting OF the new crops Of hogs at
light weight. There has been q grow
ing tendency in this direction In re-
cent years. Various influences have
been at work. Short feeding OF cattle
is one, hieh-priced corn another, while
the most potent factor probably has
been q desire to market the crop at
the most profitable weight. Expert
ence has shown, that the first 200
pounds is the cheapest to manufacture
and production at minimum cost Is
the ambition Of the hog grower,
The average weight OF hogs slaught-
cred at Western points during the
present winter packing season viii
doubtless show a deficiency compared
with recsn+ years when corn was
cheap, but the deficiency will be offset
by an increase In numbers. A light
weight crop seldom suffers from dis
ease.

Hotel waverly is no more. This
noted building went up In smoke last
Thursday. The cause OF the fire is
not known, although three suspicious
characters we're seen lettering around
the building the day before. Some
think that they gave the building a
few burn-up drops, while Others think
the fire caught from the furnace. AT
any rate, the building burned and
burned quickly. Many OF the guests
were ont nutting that day-the rest
we're sleeping. Those sleeping barely
escaped with their Dyess-a few sec
onds before the mansard roof fell in.
All elevator connections we're cut on
and the flight from the 18th ana l4th

being scorched, but not seriously. The
only thing CT value saved from the
building was a l.fe.size picture Of Hon.

Bradshaw, the bell boy. Many of The
guests lost valuable articles, such as
clothing, jewelry, money, bonds and

REIlcr OF BY-aoEE DAYS,
Evidence Of Mexioo's Early Civic
improvements Kxcsvstsd Like
the City Of Pompeia.

A
The workmen removing the MEGA
dam and dirt from South jefferson
street, preparatory to laying the paw
ing, recently struck an evidence Of
Mexico's earliest street work.
At the corner Of Central Ave. and
Jefferson street, a row Of stepping
stones was uncovered, after about
fourteen inches Of stone and dirt had
been removed, The stones we're
placed there over twenty-five years
ago, stated a citizen, who has seen
Mexico grow from a village to a thriy-
ing town.
lin 1870, or perhaps a few years
previous, Henry Williams, a merchant
and member OF the city council, who
will be remembered by many Of our
Oldest citizens, had the city place step
ping blocks at the crossings. They
were logs about twelve inches in diam
eter and sawed in three or four foot
lengths. When ready to be installed q
hole was dug, allowing only six inches
TO remain above ground, andplaced at
such distance that 1t would not be a
long step for a pedestrian, and the
wheels OF vehicles could pass between
without hitting one when trying &c
escape another. The stone steps re-
placed the blocks when they were
worn OUT
We are indeed progressing. First,
before the war, nothing to cross the
roads on; Second, after the war, wood
en- blocks to cross the roads; Third, in
1870 stepping stones to cross the
streets; Fourth, board crossings; Fifth,
brick crossings; Sixth, paving.
ave are growing more like New
York every day."
