WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN.

From the view point Of the average
man hcneework is very easy. The wife
Is right at home. She ia her own mis-
tress. She can sit down ard rest any
time. She can even 60 70 bed for a nap
II she feels like IL. She can order her
household affairs just 10 suit her own
convenience. II she doesn't feel equal
TO doing work to-day, she can do It
tomorrow. That's the beautiful thcOYv
Of the average man.
just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
ters, when they made the required
daily tale OF bricks tax the uttermost
Of human strength, had said to the
toilins slaves, oDon't hurry, take a
rest every now and then - only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble"
There's the fact. There are the
days duties TO be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
vNow, III be my own mistress" finds
herself a slave 10 household cares and
duties.
And oh how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress OF pain.
What she would give il she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in a darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but It would be the
same story over again tomorrow. The
real need of weak, nervous women is
strength, and that need is fully met
and satisfied by DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It makes weak women

THE SANTA FE ROUTE"
F. 8. Sails, Agent at Abilene.

The Santa Fe is one Of Kansas
products, lis growth commenced In
the state; 1t has been commensurate
with the advancement of the state
since the beginning. Its magnificent
expansion until it reaches from
Chicago to the Pacific Coast and to
the Gulf makes one Of the most Won
derful systems Of railway in the
world. 1t is also a road that does
things right and stands for a square
deal in its treatment Of Its patrons,
The Santa Fe was built into Dick
inson county from the south in
1867. The branch line runs from
Strong City on the main line to
Superior, Nebraska. Two branches
extend from this line in this county.
One runs from Abilene to Salina and
the other from Manchester to Bar
nard, The Superior branch is one of
the best paying lines in the entire
system because Of the rich country
through which 1t extends.
As an example Of the rate which
this great railway is extending its
facilities it may be mentioned that
1t is just now spending considerably
more than million dollars in new
rolling stock. 1t includes seventy
five passenger coaches and 1900
freight cars. The passenger coaches
will be built by the Pullman company
and are to be delivered in March.
The seventy-fve are divided into
three classes. Thirty Of them will be
smoking cars fitted up especially for
the purpose and vestibuled. They
will contain cuspidors, something
cars have not been used to!
Twenty Of them will be day coaches
divided in the middle by partitions to
