Right Doing.

Ones rightful work is often halted
by fear Of what others will say about
it. This may be even more a barrier
to the work than the fear Of not doing
the work at all. 1t takes courage to
do what we believe we ought to do
when we think we shall be criticised
or misunderstood or scorned. But the
real calamity lies in not doing what
we ought. OF this it Is we'll to have

NOW is THE TIME FOR HYOMEI.
Far Easier to Cure Cdtarrh Now
Than at Any Other Season.

Now is the time to use Hyomei, when
the early summer days make it so easy
to cure catarrhal troubles. The Hyomei
treatment, breathed for few minutes
three or four times day in May or
June, will do good twice as quickly as
1T did in January, and nearly everyone
knows that used faithfully then, it com
pletely rids the system of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and consists of a neat inhal-
er that can be carried in the purse or
yest-pocket and will last a lifetime, a
medicine dropper, and a bottle of
Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei
can be procured, if desired, for fifty
cents.
L. P. Van Werden give his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
they sell to refund the money if it does
not give satisfaction. There is no risk
whatever to the purchaser of Hyomei.

Mr.. Henry Mervin Shrady, the New York
sculptor who won, it will be remembered,
the competition for the Grant memorial to
be erected at some future time In this city,
is just completing an equestrian statue of
Washington which would seem to be note
worthy. 1t is to occupy a conspicuous po-
sition near the Brooklyn end of the Will
liamsburg bridge. and 1t represents Ameri-
cas- great man as a soldier and a COM
mander at Valley Forge. The sculptor has
portrayed both the stormy times and
weather. The horses head is down. his tail
blown by the wind between his legs; the
general wears hat and cloak and looks out
upon the world with careworn countenance

at all anxious to divorce herself from O
good thing" In the department today
are women who have been cleaning streets
for twenty and twenty-five years, and they
are as adept at II In the fift!es when
they were In their twenties. AS rule,
however, the work tells on them early, and
they are numerically few who remain at
work after the age of forty-fve. Not that
they all die around this age, but their
efficiency gone, they reluctantly give way
to fresh blood from the hills.
There are hundreds of applicants for the
place of every street cleaner who dies in
harness or is dismissed. For this reason
that applicant who cannot muster consid-
erably more than moiety OF political IN
fuence stands very little chance of wear
ing the much-sought-for green felt hat
with the solitary feather and the initial
letters of the department in the front. A
day rarely passes without some hill woman
making application for a place, and many O.
poor woman has spent two and three days
walking to the city only to be sent back
with the vague promise that her application
would be placed on file and given attention
in the regular order.
The street cleaners congregate, as rule,
in one section of the city that they keep
in apple-pie order. When one is dismissed
from the department for any reason she
usually returns to her birthplace, nestled
under the brow of some foothll, and there
she lives in comparative east the remainder
of her days on the money that the national
thrift enables her to save of her daily hire.
1t is the height of many hill woman's
ambition to clean Munichs streets. and 10
clean them well. 1t is not a lofty am
btion, to be sure. But when an American
beholds Munichs spotless thoroughfares
and then lets his mind wander, by way of
contrast to the streets that he knows In
timately, it is pretty hard to down the I'M

If their determination were the chief end
OF woman? Well, that is the way these
women of Munich go at cleaning the streets
of the municipality that pays them about
the equivalent of fifty cents a day, our
money. Given the German adherence of
dirt-no wonder Munich boast of her
spotless streets, which at any hour of the
day or night could be converted into great
dancing floors with no other preparation
than that of waxing them.
The women do not develop their muscles
by their work on the streets; they bring
their wonderful physical development to
the work.
Nearly all of them are what are known
as hill women-that is. they hail from thu
foothills of the Bavarian Alps, among
which the city of Munich Is situated. Now,
for time imTnemorable, the hill women have
been called upon to do what would be
heart-breakng manual labor to many a
new world man endowed with a strong
constitution. They scramble up the we'll
nigh precipitous sides of the mountains,
cut with hand scythes the grass that grows
there, and Veritable walking haymowS
they wend their way down the narrow and
treacherouS footpaths to their villages In
early spring they drive the village cattle
and goats up the passes to these mountaiV
pastures, hemmed in by glaciers and snow,
and with each herd one unmarried woman
remains as herder. Here, on the sunny side
of the mountain. she lives in a little hut,
spending her days and nights milking the
cows and making butter and cheese, which
are taken down the mountain by men who
scramble up 1t for that purpose. And,
meanwhile, her sisters are carrying away
heavy burdens of fallen wood from the
great estates, and working from dawn till
darkness in the fields, and otherwise build
ing up muscles hard rocks.

Because they We're better equipped, physi-
caIly, to stand the strain of continued street
cleaning than any other women about
Munich, the hill women were first employ

say that today practically every woman in
the department is hill woman.

the fact that during Whistier's lifetime al

HARDLY WORTH NOTICING.

(From the st. Louis Star)
At the annual meeting of the Okla
homa Press association, held at Okla
homa City on the gath and 25th Of
April, resolutions were adopted con
demning the fake reports sent out
from that and Indian Territory by cor
respondents of certain metropolitan pa
pers touching Indian uprisings, Indian
raids and pitched battles between In
dams and whites In the two terrific
ries.
The resolutions very clearly set forth
the fact that in no single instance has
there even been an iota of foundation
for such reports.
In this connection Il must be un-
derstood that there are but few
blanket Indians in either territory.
and that not one-tenth Of the Indian
population in either territory are full
blood. On the contrary, the bulk Of
the indians are civilized, many Of them
being educated and all Of them, in the
matter Of lands, being in independent
circumstances.
In this connection we are inclined
to think that the press association o.
