A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due TO the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous dependency. "the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia. and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

Quite a number Of the pupils
of Room six, Third ward, gave
Aquilla Dunn quite a Valentine
surprise. Each one came wear

The evening was spent playing
all kinds of games. About II

his partner for supper. After
that each took their valentine
and left for home, declaring
they had had a most pleasant
time.

Valentine Party.

Last evening the X. L. d.
club entertained their gentle
man friends at "a Valentine par
ty at the home Of Miss Edna
Fountain. The guests were
met at the door by Master
Leonard Fountain, who conduc-
ted them to the drawing room
where the hostess extended to
them a cordial greeting in be-
half of the club, and also pre-
sented each guest with a tiny
pink and white souvenir heart.
The house was decorated in
pink and white, the club colors.
The rooms were festooned with
crepe paper in such a manner
as to form a canopy overhead.
Pink and white hearts, symbolic
of the occasion, were scattered
about in great profusion. A
arge heart, suspended from the
larchway, extended a hearty
welcome to all, while smaller
hearts were arranged on the
curtains forming the letters X
l.. d.
The early part Of the evening
was spent in searching for hid
den hearts, and the one finding
the most was rewarded by be-
ing the first allowed to visit the
fortune tellers booth.
Owing to the condition of the
railroads the evening mail was
so delayed that only by special
delivery was it possible for the
postmaster of the sub-postoffice
to deliver to the assembled
guests their ample supply of
mail. Opening the mail caused
much merriment.
Character reading formed an
amusing featureof the evening.

the shadows appeared on the
canvas each one made his selec-
tion Of a valentine, which speed
lily materialized into a charming
reality. They were then adj
mitted to the dining room,
where an elegant three course
supper was served. The table
was decorated most beautifully,
pink and white crepe paper be-
ing draped from the corners of
the table to the chandelier in
center of the room. The center
piece was a large mirror,
wreathed with carnations, and
the rehectlng lights of candela-
bra in the center made it indeed
beautiful to behold.
The menu cards were heart
shaped and bore an appropriate
verse for each. On each lady's
card was a white carnation while
the gentlemen's cards had pink
ones.
After supper games were
played until a late hour, when
the guests departed.
1t was a delightful entertain
ment throughout and everybody
enjoyed it.

games were indulged in until a
late hour, when Mrs. Deur pre-

ments. After refreshments, va
rious amusements constituted
the remainder of the evenings
entertainment, after which good
byes were said.

Kappa Delta Party

The gentlemen friends Of the
Kappa Delta Theta girls were
most royalty entertained last
evening by them at a valentine
party at the spacious home of
Miss Edith Amen on North
Eighth street.
In accordance with the even
ing the rooms were very artis-
tically decorated in hearts
strung all around. The fire
place looked especially attract
i've.
After all had arrived on the
scene cards were passed and
the guests were told that SEN
tcnces were written on papers
pinned up in the different
rooms. The sentence was ex-
pressive of some word ending
in cage" After much worry
ing and figuring the cards were
taken up and the result found
to be a tie between Earl Edge
comb and Frank Rainey, both
having guessed all correctly
but one. They cut for the
prize. Earle Edgecomb being
the lucky one received a very
handsomely valentine.
After the boys had time to
catch their breath, diamond
shaped cards were passed with
the words "heart," "Cupid," "
"dart," Stupid" They were
told to make a verse of poetry,
each line ending in those words.
After the boys had racked
their brains and even tried to
copy verses, the cards we're
taken up. Among so many
wonders of art it was a very
difficult task to select the best
one. Evan Espeseth was voted
the best poet and received a
very late book on the subject
of "hearts" as reward. The
boys had just got nicely settled

that that would be all the guess
ing for the rest of the evening
as they had exhausted their
supply of thinking, when hearts
were passed around with "a
model proposal written across
the top. They were then told
that they were expected to
write a model proposal. 1t does
not seem possible that this
would be a very difficult task
for most of the young mon
present, but it certainly caused
considerable trouble and worry.
The young ladies We're also
given hearts and told to write
a model acceptance" They
were both read together. After
much debating, it was finally
decided that Ralph Beckley
had the faculty for writing the
best proposal. Whether it was
from practice or what we are
unable to state. He received a
very neat little picture Of "Cu-
pid Awake" as a prize.
Small tables were then
brought in. The guests found
their places by clever valentines
descriptive of them. An ele-
CANT three course supper was
served by Misses Amen, Foss
and Harris. After as much eN-
ertion as the boys had gone
through, they felt like doing
full justice to the supper, and
they certainly did. After sup
per silhouettes were given. The
young ladies passed by a large
black sheet with a white sheet
in the centre and the boys
guessed who each one was.
After this, the crowd decided
it was time to go home, after
assuring the girls they had had
a fine time and thanking Miss
Amen for her hospitality. The
following were present: Misses

Cold Coal Delivering.

February 18th, r. Newton
started that morning with the
weather at 81 below zero, with
three teams and four men and
made fifty-eight deliveries that
day throughout the city, mostly
soft coal, as his car of nut coal
is now fifteen days overdue
from Chicago and is now tied
up somewhere with the cold
storm. February 18th, with
the weather at 25 below zero,
with a heavy wind and snow
he made twenty-seven deliv-
cries, which relieved a large
portion of the people who were
out of coal. This is what you
might call pretty good work.
If you want your coal delivered
promptly leave your orders
with R. Newton.
