WONDERFUL MIRAGE.
orsat City Appears to whsIsrs In the
bst,rlno Sea. r.

On the 18th of last August when the
whaling bark Gayhead was cruising
about seventy.five miles west Of Prtby-
Ion island In Bshring sea, Mats Posse
and the men ON deck were thunder,
struck by the appearance of great
city Immediately ahead. There was
the shore line, and rising above It wore
thousands of electric lights twinkltng
along a hundred streets. Here and
there. apparently At prominent cor
ners, were larger lights, and along the
shore were the myriad Of lights show
ing At the wharvea.
But the mate and his men knew that
this must be an imaginary city. and
that for hundreds Of miles beyond
where these lights hared out was only
an expanse Of desoIate water. The
mate called Captain Fisher, who
looked upon the scene and was bewil-
dered. There was no accounting for
the wonderful sight. This city seemed
as real as San Francisco seems to 4
vessel anchored In the channel near
Goat island.
When daylight came. the spectacle
faded away, and in all directions was
only the heaving bosom of the cold
sea-, with no land In sight and NO
great city within hundreds of miles.

w. c. T. v. CONVENTION.
Mrs. Stevens. President. Discusses the
Canteen Question.

Los Angeles, Calif.-The first days
session of the thirty-sccond annual
convention of the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union was de
voted to routine matters. In her an,
nual address Mrs. Lillian Stevens,
president. commented upon the va
rious legislative measures the organi-
zation Is urging, both in state Legis-
latures and in the National Congress-
and spoke encouragingly of the future
growth of the temperance movement
Mrs. Stevens reviewed the develop
ments of the past year and saw much
reason for encouragement. Upon the
subject OF reform bills introduced in
the last Congress and which were not
acted upon, she said:
"At mention of this there is before
you visions of petitions you have cir
culated, memories of weary miles you
have traversed. rebuffs you have en-
dured, arguments you have presented,
delays and postponements. But no
memories of defeat, for you have
wrought with a triumphant spirit and
that same spirit is ours to-day as We
look forward to the coming months"
Mrs. Stevens was positive in her at
titude against the re-establishment of
from Secretary of War Taft and others,
showing that army officers, as rule
claim there is more drunkenness
among enlisted men since the canteen
has been abolished than before. but
she insisted that no statistics have
been compiled to support their posi-
ton.
1.-The attempt to restore the canteen
is only a small part of the work of the
liquor element of this country" said
the president. II confidently predict
that Congress Will take no adverse
action the coming winter"
Mrs. Stevens touched on all the ques-
tions with which the temperance or
ganization concerns itself, including
Mormonism, the purity crusade, patent
medicines and the Gothenburg system
of regulating the liquor traffic which
she strongly opposed as a compromise
with the traffic.

ROOSEVELT IN NEW ORLEANS.
Density Of Crowd Prevents Public
Address.

New Orleans-The Presidents New
Orleans reception was a signal testi-
monial Of popular esteem and Of CRATE
full recognition of the service which he
has rendered the city In her period OF
stress.
New Orleans remembered not only
that the President had acted with char
acteristic promptness when asked to
send federal surgeons to take charge OF
the fever struggle, but throughout the
fight here sustained the people of the
stricken city with expressions of un-
failing sympathy. and when a large
share of the public opinion of the coun-
try opposed his venturing into New
Orleans with the fever still prevailing.
he refused to consider the element OF
personal danger and declared his pur-
pose to keep the promise he made
when he accepted the original invita-
tion to come.
The densely crowded streets, the
elaborate decorations, the wild ap-
plause that greeted him along the
whole route of the parade, the entbus-
iasm with which his address to the
multitude in Lafayette square was re
ceived and the remarkable demOnstra-
tion in his honor at the luncheon,
were outward manifestations of the
spirit in which the people welcomed
here.
Probably for the first time in his pub.
lie career the President was compelled
to abandon a public address before he
had got well started on it.
1t was contemplated that the mill
tary and civic parade should pass in
review before the President at the city
hall, but the crowd which gathered at
this point was so tremendous that
neither the police nor the troops were
able to move it. and the President, fore
seeing a possible catastrophe in the
event of a panic. finally gave up the at
tempt to speak and left the platform.
The crowd jammed st. Charles
street from property line to property
line all the way from Poydras to Ninth
street, and its spread over Lafayette
street was complete. Over $4,000 peo-
pie were gathered in and around the
stand from which the President was to
have delivered his address.
When the President decided to
abandon his effort, he shouted to the
throng to go home and be good citizens
and then disappeared into the mayors
parlors. well nigh exhausted.
To those about him he expressed
himself as immensely pleased with the
demonstration in his honor, which-was
far beyond his expectations or the ex-
pectations of the members of his party
and said that the reception was the
greatest that he had hal since he had
started on his trip.
Tonight he will spend on light
house tender and tomorrow morning
he viii board the cruiser West Vir-
ginia to make the return trjp to Nor
ok. where he will be taken on board
the Maytlower and brought to Wash
ington. He is expected to arrive at
Washington October 31st.

Tn. Brutality of Football.

II YOU were the mother whose boy
was brought home dead from being
butted in the stomach, like that boy
in Canon City, or iff you were the
mother whose boy lay In the hospital
at the point of death from being
kicked in the back, like that young
man in Denver. you would not listen
with much patience to the people that
told you how valuable Is the game OF
football in building up physical
strength or disciplining the mind to
habits of courage. promptness, obedl-
ence and self control. All your soul
would rise within you in the demand
that the evil should be separated from
the good and that the bRrbarity of
football should be stopped. And you
would be right.-Pueblo Chieftain.

FUNNY
People viii Drink Coffee When II

OOe1 SuCH
Il began to use Postum because the
old kind of coffee had so poisoned my
whole system that l was on the point
of breaking down, and the doctor
warned me that | must quit 1t.
My chief s'lment was nervousness
and heart trouble.
Any unexpected noise would cause
me the mast painful palpitation, make
me faint and weak.
Il mad heard of Postum and began
to drink 1t when left off the old cof-
fee. 1t began to help me just as soon
as the old effects of the other kind Of
coffee passed away. 1t did not stim-
ulate me for q while, and then leave
me weak and nervous as coffee used
to do. Instead of that 1t built up my
strength and supplied constant viEor
to my system which l can always re-
ly on. 1t enables me to do the big
gest kind of days work without
getting tired. All the heart trouble,
etc, has passed away.

When a physician tellsa woman, Suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knefl had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases nre
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who. by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan. Treasurer Of st. An
drcw's Society. Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
~ cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could
not get well unless l had an operation for
ovarian and female troubles. knew could

Hearing how Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations l decided to try it, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;
and words fail TO express my thankfulness.
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Gloss of strength. extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through tho pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me TO seek
medical advice. The doctor. after making
an examination, said that had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as a last resort to try Lydia
T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
TO my surprise the liberation healed all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me.n
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
tion every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. P:lkham at Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms OF female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrhea, Irregularities,
Indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink
hams Office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

LAW URGED BY sELF.sEEkERs.
Real Animus Of Movement Against
Rene dies Deservediy Popular.

An adroit but plausible. scheme .Ey.
which 1t is hoped to prejudice the sale
of proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale of any rena-
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle is expressly Ia
beled Poison" Such bills are also
wei. designed to impose upon men who
have NO familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense of protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills is generally the merest
subterfuge; and whenever you hear .
demand for 4 law of this Kind 1t
originates with those who have
a direct pecuniary interest to serve by
destroying the sale OF proprietary rem
edies.
Some OF the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain

in suncient quantities, might be pol
whole is not poisonous at all. Opium,
for instance. is used in small quanti-
ties In many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, diarrhea, etc, in tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would lie merely a
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
of the sale Of those remedies, and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
expensive method of consulting a phy
slcian and getting his prescription. In
other words, i: is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheaply the rene.

TENNIS PLAYERS
IN CONFERENCE
State Association Plans a Meeting
at Town and Country
Club.

The Minnesota State Tennis association will
hold Its annual meeting Saturday evening at
the Town and Country club, ST. Paul. when steps
VIII be taken to unite the important clubs in
the state In permanent organization which
VIII control state and local tournaments.
The association was formed two years ago
Tor the purpose of promoting tennis and for the
development of tennis players. As the asso
citation had little or no Jurisdiction over the
important function in tennis affairs. But with
the unusual enthusiasm shown In the recent city
and state tournaments by players and public
alike, 1t Is thought that the time is ripe for an
organization of this kind to be formed with
more executive power than 1t has had hereto
fore.
1t is expected that two delegates from the
following clubs will be present: Town and
Country, Ashland and Laurel clubs of st. Paul.
the Mlnikahda club of Minneapolis, the Kee
waytin Of Lafayette, Mimi; the White Bear
Yacht club, the Mahtomedi club, the North
lands of Duluth and the Meadow Brook club
One of the most important objects of the
association IS to have the state tournament on
a more representative basis-that is, to have
each contestant represent club instead Of
entering as individuals. It is thought that
this move will not only hold the organization
together better but will increase the club riv-
airy and thus promote the sport. After the state
tournaments each year, the association will send
a representative to the western tournament at
Chicago and to the national tournament at New
port.
The present officers Of the organiza tion are:
d. T. Halbert. president: T. w. Griggs vice
Burton treasurer. New officers will he elected
| at the meeting
