Brain workers suffer from
headache because they over-tax
and exhaust the brain nerves.
Tired, irritated, turbulent
brain nerves throb and ache;
this weakens the brain power,
and robs the memory.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
bring tranquility to the ex-
cited nerves and stop the pain.
# not relieved, this nerve
disturbance is frequently ex-
tended to the stomach, causing
nausea, vomiting-siek head
ache.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are convenient to take-just a
little tablet, that in a few mo-
ments relieves the pain; they
leave no disagreeable after
effects, as they contain no
opium, morphine, cocaine or
choral in any form.
From personal experience I can
testify that Dr. Miles Antf-Pain pills
are a most excellent remedy for head
great sufferer from both diseases for
the past three years. A friend who
had also suffered from NEURALGIA

W. Caryi Ely, of Buffalo, the pres
ident of the American Street Railway
association, was talking. during the
convention in Philadelphia, about mo-
tormen's and conductors adventures.
"a conductor came to me with a
smiling face the other day" he said.
HE wanted to tell me what had hap
pened on an incoming car.
at seems that a middIe-aged wo-
man and her little son, a lad of six or
seven years, got on the car, and as
soon as they were seated the woman
took a half dollar out Of her pocket
and handed it to the youngster to pay
the fare with
1.-THE boy held the coin in his small,
fat hand, and examined it closely and
solemnly.
'sThe conductor appeared for the
fares, and the youngster gave him
the half dollar, with owlish solemnity
1.-The money was pocketed, and 40
cents in change was put into the small
extended hand.
'tAs soon as he got this change, the
boy laughed, wriggled in his seat, and
shouted gIeefully:

the time the great hue and cry was
being raised in the north over tainted

There was a large revival meeting
going on at one of the colored
churches, and Mr.. Stevens got there
lust in time to hear part of the worthy
colored clergyman's discourse on

such strikingly dissimilar characters as

Susan Clegg," and Aunt Mary" and
to do it with the fidelity to the living
types, is to demonstrate something very
like genius for Characterization. Anne
Warner is a frequent contributor of
short stories to the leading magazines;
in fact, she began her literary career in
1901 with the publication of a short story.
Her Susan CIegE~ has amused the
reading public of not only the United
States but England and Australia, one
English critic calling Miss Clegg" the
female DooIey." At present the author
of The Regeneration of Aunt Mary" is
abroad.
In this age of specialization, even so
simple q. subject as book collecting is
subdivided in a complex, scientific way.
Book collectors Of the twentieth cen
fury fall naturally into these classes:
Bibliomane-An indiscTiminate. emo
tional collector.
Bibliognoste-A learned collector, very
expert in imprints. first editions and the
teChnicalittes.
Bibliograph-A collector who writes
about his collections.
Bibliotaphe-A cautious collector who
keeps his books always under lock and
key in glass cases.
BibIiophile-A real lover Of books; one
who buys books only for the pleasure Of
reading them.
It would seem that John Philip Sousa
is as versatile with his pen as he is
graceful with his baton. Encouraged
by the success Of his first book, THE
Fifth String" a musical romance. he
has turned into a field totally different
and written a story for boy readers. The
new book is called "PiDetown Sandy, .
and is issued by the Bobbs-Merriu com
pany. It tells the adventures of two
lads who are fast friends. and who take
part in the exciting rescue Of a little
girl who has been kidnapped. The story
is simply told in fashion that appeals
to boyisa tastes.
John Kendrick Bangs. who for some
years has been dividing his time between
Yonkers and New York, is soon to be-

And he added, slyly, mo item in either

Meanwhile Mr.. Bangs has leased a large
estate at Rye, New York, and, what is
especially interesting, viii make his
home there, temporarily with Simeon
Ford, the arch-joker and after-dinner
speaker. Since resigning the editorship
of Puck, Mr.. Bangs has devoted him
self to the writing of plays and books Of
humor, and his latest volume, Mrs.
Raffles." a witty parody. has just been
published through the Harpers.

It was hard to believe that my son
in-laW was speaking to me in that
kindly way, and evidently meaning
every word he said, but I had to accept
it. At dinner the meat was tough and
the coffee not up to its usual standard,
and every minute I was hoping that
Mr.. Bowser would break out. Not q
word from him, however. That is,
not q word of fault-hnding. On the
contrary, after chewing away for three
or four minutes on q mCuthful of
steak. he smilingly said:
81 think this meat would have been
improved by pounding with a sledge-
hammer. but Of course. it's nobody's
fault but the butchers. Mother, can
7 help you to anything else? Mrs
Bowser, some more potatoes ?"
No dinner ever passed off more
pleasantly. Two or three funny things
had happened to MI Bowser during
the day and he recounted them in
a funny way. For some years past,
as I have it on the best OF authority,
he has been in the habit Of referring
to me as his blamed old mother-in-
law" There was nothing Of this kind
now. It Was mother" this and

wrap, and deep cape of Irish or
some point lace viii go very far toward
making a handsome cloak.
Velvet itself is perhaps not so much
IN vogue this season as the lighter
weight variety known as chiffon vel
vet. This chiffon velvet is more pliable
than the other texture and is in every
way as handsome. Like plush, velvet
is seen in pale shades although the
many tones of red and scarlet are al
ways smart. Flame color is delightful

probably live, as it will not prove uni

A long cloth coat is fashionable year
in and year out, and when there can be
only this one evening wrap no good
substitute has yet been found for the
handsome white one. Embroidered
cloth is popular for all modes of dress,
and SO for the evening wrap gold and
silver work embroidery combined with
lace ruffles and ruchings make togeth-
er a handsome trimming for any gar
ment. Light colored cloth coats en-
broidered and lace trimmed are also
seen again, for they have proved al
most as serviceable as the old white
than velvet or plush, which are heavy
and inconvenient to manage in a mar
row theater seat.
Taffeta, satin and brocade are all
three fashionable for the evening wrap
and for the autumn are particularly
good. Darker shades are seen in silk
than in cloth, although white and all
light colors are also smart. Later on
a silk wrap must be well interlined for

close at the throat, but elbow and
three-quarter length sleeves are seen
on a number of the latest models.

A%lgodones, N. NJ, Dec. 22.-Christ-
mas is close by and many are pre-
pairing to have a big time. Last week
there was a big dance here. Some
time during the night some young
kids purloined about three gallons of
wine belonging to a prominent citi-
zen here, and then proceeded to cele-
brate on a grand scale, some of them
getting hilarious. Some of the older
persons got it into their heads tat
the Kids got their wine from a man
by the name of Barros here, and as
they were under age it would be
against the law to sell them wine.
So, some Of the older ones, headed
by o. p. Hovey, started at once to
the house of MIR. Barros for the pur-
pose of hauling him over the Goals.
But they had their trouble for their
pains, as Mr.. Barros is a law abiding
citizen and attends TO his own bust
ness. After clustering around for
some time, they finally left. And il
Hovey ever dares to say anything |
will let the a out of the bag about
what happened afterwards.
The telephone men have their poles
set as far south o as the Pueblo OF
Sandia. They are getting along fire.
There is a heavy snow storm all
day today, and the indications point
to its continuance for some time.
There are rumors in the air that
something is about to be sprung here
that will help us out. Hope 1t is 30.
A petition here for joint statehood
is receiving many signatures. and will
o be forwarded to the league.
