TROOPS OPEN LINES.
Strike Which Has Iolated Russia Being
Broken.

London, Dec. -Telegraphing under
date of December 5, the st, Petersburg
correspondent of the Telegraph says
there are signs OF break in the tele-
graph and postal strike. The assistant
minister Of the interior expects that
the strikers will surrender uncondition-
ally in two or three days.
Already two-thirds OF the telegraph
staff arrive daily and sign the attend
ance book. They are willing to work,
but as the wires have been cut or as
they are unable to get replies they
quit.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Times predicts the fall Of the min
istry. He ascribes the trouble to Count
Witte for placing the blame for the
strike on Minister Durnovo, whose resig-
nation is inevitable. His retirement will
doubtless involve the whole cabinet. The
correspondent describes the action OF the
government as nnarchical.

During the Cuban revolution all my

strong supporters of the Spanish gov

Emilio Cardenas, was 30 open In bis

they would burn the buildings. 1t was

mother to join the Cuban rabble that

Margarita Echarte, the governess OF
my little brothers and sisters. Mar
garfta had descended from an excellent
Spanish family, but they had become
impoverished. and she was therefore
obliged to earn her own living. She
was a girl OF strong character and at
the same time of an amiable disposi-
ton. We had long been secret lovers,
but our relation had only been discov.

garita from being turned out upon the

A mothers worries are many. shs

love for the child. She becomes broken

feels tired from morning until night.
Many mothers Of experience can tell you
that at such time they have been re-
lieyed, benefited and strengthened and
put into proper health by taking pre-
scription which their mothers had told
them was the best woman's tonic and
neryine to be taken at such times. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has en-
joyed an snviable reputation for over o
third OF century. In all that time II
has sold more largely In the United
States than any other tonic for woman's
needs, and to-day its sales are greater
than ever. DR.. Pierce made up this
prescription from native medicinal roots
without the use Of particle Of alcohol
and for the single purpose OF curing
those diseases peculiar to women and
when there liz lack of womanly
strength to bear the burdens of maternal
duty. How few women come to this
critical time with adequate strength.
