Much-Disturbed Wedding.

While Thomas King aged seventy
two, a four-time husband, and Eliza
beth Jones, aged eighty, being her
self a three-time bride, were once
more being launched on the matri-
monial sea, at Niagara Falls, and just
as the Rev. DR.. Gordon was uttering
the final words that would make
them man and wife, large black
tomcat jumped in through an open
window and Topped the loop in the
bridal veil, fastening all its claws in
the filmy net and orange blossoms
Mrs. Jones wore.
When finally pulled off by the ex'
cited bridegroom it carried souvenirs
of the brides hair in its claws and
teeth. The excitement was such that
some one turned in fire alarm and
brought the department. 1t was then
discovered that the wedding supper
had been robbed and all it's goodies
taken.

been a field tree and that 1t either
stood in an opening before the whites
took possession of the soil or that it

it on the northern side near the ground

That the people Of Toxic should re-
sort to violence and raise formal pro-
test against treaty sanctioned by the
mikado, holy and reverenced ruler of a
nation believing so devoutly In rever
ence and a rulers infallibility, i'm
presses the world with the fact that
japan is now intensely modern in va
rious ways. Not only are the Japanese
proven great power, but within the
realm the people are moved to aeser
ton of their rights; the leaven of dem
ocratic and socialistic ideals is at
work. And though the recent display
of mob spirit has been quieted, the
occurrences at the nations capital give
indication of radical change marking
Japan's internal affairs.
This appears deeply significant which
has recently taken place in Toxic. The
municipality passing resolutions de-
nouncing the terms and favoring the
abandonment Of the peace treaty. The
Barristers' association agreeing to de-
fend all persons arrested in rioting. 1t
sounds something like the Russian So

exception of the government organ, all

compares Japan's capital with the cap
ital of Russia and asserts that the
peace treaty was sole cause for the sad
and shameful occurrences" Another
paper, the Manichi, cries: "Heed the
voice of the nation. Heed the express
sion of the nations desire. The ma
TONS voice is full of anger" And 1t
boldly suggests that the anger might be
appeased by the resignation of the cab
met. The people, angered because the
government stands for progress and
concession in the interest of modern
civilization, rise against liberal views;
though it was liberal Japan that made
it possible for them to rise.

and no strikes. In reading and listen

Kiichi Kaneko, attempts to break down
this Illusion, to give us correct view.
But perhaps we should admit that his

that the so-called democracy is no true

government system is a believe

people, for the people. II is the gov
eminent of the few, of mobiles, of the
titles, and above all, of the figurehead

that of Marquis Ito, which we shall
present later.
One of the Japa nese papers, COM
menting on the rioting, made the asser-
ton that those taking part therein
were not irresponsible agitators, but
those having good standing in society:
and though the later disturbances were
traced TO rowdyism, it is agreed a very
different class participated at the be-
ginning of the expression of dissatis-
faction with the governments action.
Which seems to contradict a little the
opinion of Kiichi Kaneko that the IA
vored few tyrannize and the masses
are forced to quieseence. This upris-
ing suggested a general disaffections
with the government as administered
on at least the one question.
Marquis Ito for 40 years has been
most closely connected with the his
tory of Japan, and has been most in
fusntial f. the modernization of his
country, the liberalization of their
views. He was one of the first Japan

When physician tells 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 knell 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 stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham'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.

though plum colored suits may, ere the

mon, the early fall shows some most
attractive gowns in this rich color. We
are tempted to describe one in detail,
an afternoon costume of crepe de chine.
The skirt, which was very long and
full, had front panel of white net,
across which were laced velvet ribbons
of the exact shade of plum of the
dress. The bodice was well suited to
the skirt; fitting close in the back, the
front had soft vest of white with
lacings of the velvet ribbon, wide at
the bust line, narrow at the girdle.

Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try it, and in
less than four months was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--

severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making

not express my thanks for what it has done

Iron Tires for Autos

1t is generally admitted that, al
though the pneumatic tire is the weakest
part of an automobile, it makes the pres
ent day car possible. Yet inventors
have been at work for years trying to
perfect solid tire of some sort that
would take the place of the air-filled
one. A New York inventor claims to
have accomplished the object with
new wheel that has iron tires for the
ground and the pneumatics midway be-
tween the outside rim and the hub.
Similar affairs have been tried num-
Der of times, but have been discarded
mainly because of excessive weight
The inventor made an experimental trip
recently, which showed that the idea is
nearing perfection. The wheel is some
what cumbersome in appearance. The
principle of the pneumatic tube is there.
but 1t is removed from the dangers of
contact with the ground Midway be-
tween the hub and the outer rim are two
inferior rims. between which rests q
three-inch pneumatic tube. The upper
rim is suspended from the hub by iron
spokes. and ar iron tire comes in con-
tact with the ground.

FALL FASHION FOR MISSES.

A very sensible feature of the dress
Of the school miss is the wash waist
and wash guimpe. The heavy cottons
are good and warm, and lighter weight
linens can be worn all winter over a
long-sleeved corset cover. Like their
mothers, the waists for older girls are
somewhat on the tailored order, but a
few have frills, fashion put forth by
London tailors.
The favorite outdoor costume for
young girls for common wear is the
long-coat suit of heavy wool; of serge,
cheviot, fancy weave, or mayhap broad
cloth. For dressy wear perhaps the
young lady will consider she must have
a short coat suit. Desirable separate
coats are of seven-eighths length, but
the short coat continues in favor for
the more elaborate street costume.
There is much buying of separate
skirts for the school girl, and these are
made very plain, wholly untrimmed.
The same materials are employed as
used in the suits. Mohair waists prom
Use to be very popular, and there are
exquisite ones Of white on display. Mo-
hair school dresses will be worn all
winter; they have the advantage of
easily shaking off the dust and they
wear well if the better class of goods
is purchased.
An attractive little frock for best is
made of soft cashmere or henrietta.
There is a narrow, plain panel at the
Of ho c1yi r+ Fol o
In largish pleats. The waist is a sur
plice, the fullness confined in pleats.
With variety in the chemisettes this
little costume will pass muster for
many occasions.
The right kind of schoolgirl does not
cure to bother much about clothes,
wants something she can throw on
without waste of time; and the alien
veloping wrap she looks upon as true
friend The one here illustrated is of
blue cloth, the color a little brighter
than navy; the fullness at the back is
fitted by broad box pleats ornamented
with several rows of black silk stitch
ing; large dome-shaped buttons of dull
gilt relieve the plainness of the front.
For the girl at the awkward age"
anywhere from IL to IA, the makers of
children's clothes are now preparing
waists that have flexible featherbone
in the under-arm seams. This does
not at all interfere with freedom of
movement, and transforms shapeless
blouse into one with suggestion of
graceful curve. Both big girls and lit
tie girls will wear the guimpe, clean

ly and becoming fashion. One may al
most say that every dress now made
has a tucker or guimpc, and many of
them are beautifully hazdworked. the
doting mar1mas having made them
during yeranda hours the past summer.
Again we would call attention to the
silky mohair shirt-waist suit for the
schoolgirls: the mohairs come in plain
materials, in hairlines and checks
Plaids are always more or less worn by
the small fry, and signs point to a
more than usual popularity this season.
Henriettas and nuns yelling are liked
for dressy occasions, but for school
that is selected which will stand rough
wear. Some mohairs tear if child
but rises from her desk, others wear
like iron.
School frocks, in spite of what we
said about the hand-embroidered
guimpes, are marked by extreme SIM
plicity. Good materials are chosen and
those that promise durability; the cut
must be modern, the design should be
simple. This is the day when health is
exalted far above business, and in that
respect at least we have advanced.
Numbers of one-piece frocks are
seen, worn by girls Of all ages UP to
10 or II; the younger ones wear
the exaggerated long waist, the older
ones have the line at about the normal
height. Plaid and checked ginghama
and mercerized cottons are in highest
favor and make ideal frocks for the
schoolgirl.
Details of the costume are looked
after by the sharp-eyed misses, who are
apt to scan one another's appearance
rather more closely than strict good
taste permits. Black ribbons are used
sometimes in place of regular shoe
strings, and a perky little bow Is fas-
tened where the vamp joins the uppers,
as well as one tied at the top of the
shoes. This is really pretty addition
to the short-skirted costume, to be
recommended especially for the young
girl that is a little lax about keeping
her footwear trim. She way try to
live up to her shoe ribbons.
In hats almost everything goes that
is picturesque. There is the Napoleon
tricorne, the quaint three-cornered
chapeau that is generally becoming.
There are Russian caps with cord and
brush at one side And then there are
white poke bonnets profusely trimmed
with black velvet ribbon. And we shall
add right here that velvet ribbon
matching the dress is used a great deal
in the adornment of children's dresses.
