on Silverton to have it said that the

HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND.

The best known guide to married happi-
ness is to hold the husband as you won the
lover-by cheerfulness of disposition, pa-
tience and keeping your youthful looks.

capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which atflict her are apt to cause sour

DR. R. " Pierce, the specialist in wons ans
diseases, of Buffalo, n. Y, after a long ex-
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
liquid extract would help the majority
of cases. This he called Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. Thousands of women
have testified to its merits, and it is put
up in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers. This is
a potent tonic for the womanly system.
So much faith has Dir. Pierce in its merits
that he offers $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb which he cannot
cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means of cure

The Free Press occupies COM

be done without the help of the

from the people and understand
their wishes, have In the past

some interesting results. This machine
registers the number, rapidity and

Her Transformation.

She drank quantities of water, ate lot
of starchy foods,
Abstained from exercising every day;
She assimilated Tactic and case of
matted goods,
But it seemed her fate to have to fade
away.
She so mourned attenuation, with a Wis
age like an owls,
That smile upon her face was never
seen;
While below her mouth were wrinkles,
and above her eyes were scowls,
And her nose was like Ratchet in be-
tween.
But one day she fell to laughing in a
strange, hysteric way,
Just in thinking how ridiculous it
proved;
And it mellowed to a cackle that was
sane enough, they say,
Till at last she giggled every time she
moved.
Why, she chuckled out her wrinkles, and
she ickered off her frowns,
And then took to all the things she
shouldn't do;
Now she's grown as fat as butter, and
has outgrown all her gowns;
But she laughs away at that disaster,
too.<

had not been in the best of health for

For the latter forty, at least, of the
seventysix years allotted to Joseph JEFF
ferson he was conceded absolute suprem-
acy on the American stage. Public, press
and players alike hailed him as chief of
American actors after the passing Of his
rival, Booth. '"The Dean of the Ameri-
can Stage" was a common title given
him and he was often called the Grand
Old Man of the Stage" His fame will
rest on his character of Rip Van Wrinkle,
but his private life was the very opposite
of that of the twenty-year sleeper.
Bob Acres, In ''The Rivals" was the
famous and favorite character Of the
comedians late years. Also he won great
eminence as "Caleb Plummer" and "Ir.
Golightly," and "The Cricket on the
Hearth" was one of his greatest late sue
cesses.
Joseph Jefferson was the friend of the
great men of his time. He knew the stage
