But on to Damascus-and we reached
it all too soon, for the ride across the
Anti-Lebanon range is also picturesque.
The route down the east side of the
mountain follows the valley of the
ALBANIA. a splendid stream, worthy of
the compliment paid it by Ndaman.
1t leaps from the mountain side a
full grown river, and plunges down
into the plain only to be lost in the
sands, but not until it has brought
Verdure to many. square miles that
would otherwise be barren. IT is easy
to understand why Damascus is among
the oldest, if not actually the oldest,
of all the cities still standing. 1t oc-
cupies the enc green spot in all that
section, and is abe outpost of the Medi-
terranean coast. The Arabian desert
stretches to the east and southeast for
hundreds of miles, and the caravans
from Persia and Arabia pass through
Damascus on their way to Egypt even
now, as they did when Babylon and
Nineveh were young; it is also on
the road between the great east and
Tyre and Sidon
Damascus is an Oriental city and is
still innocent of the ways of the west

of life as 1T was before Europe and
America were known to history. The

4 Judge Stockslager and Fred 7.
Dubois are politically married as re-
CARDS their unholy hatred of the
Mormon people and they cannot
and will not be divorced on this
question. Not only this year has
Stockslager plainly shown that his
heart and soul are with Dubois, but
two years ago he helped HIM win
his fight in the democratic state con-
vention. 1t will be remembered that
the Dubois anti Mormon resolution
was defeated in the Lewiston con-
vention, but Judge Stockslager,
with the representation of Blaine
county, came to the rescue the fol-
lowing day and under motion for
reconsideration, assisted in securing
the passage, by small margin, of
the anti-Mormon plank. Yet 1t Is
strange, so some Of the friends Of
Stockslager say, that the Mormon
democrats should hold him respon.
sible for the fight that is being
made against them.

the votes of the old soldiers in the
home at Boise were thrown out.
These votes were sufficient in num-
Der to take from Miss Speckman
the Office of school superintendent
OF Ada county, TO which she had
beer fairly elected, and give it to
her democratic opponent. Accord
ing to that decision the old soldiers
who live at the soldiers home near
Boise, are not citizens, but paupers
and their votes were taken from
them. That decision was so unjust
and rankly partisan that even vast
majority of the democrats of Idaho
were ashamed of it. Although the
decision has never been reversed, the
election officials--both republicans
and democrats in the precinct In
which the nome is located have per-
mitted the inmates to vote at every
election since the decision was
rendered and their votes have been
counted as cast.

to single act of these officials dur

They have been as careful in the

improvements haye been made that

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined to Bed and In
Constant Pain, Cured by DR..
Williams Pink Pills


Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood.
1t is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood if a permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain viii return, perhaps i'll new
place, but it will surely return. DR.. Will
hams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.

Conn.,, is the wife Of the village ma

MAKING FARCE OF WEDDING.
Senseless and Cruel Customs Better
Honored in the Breach.

Washington Herald-A wedding
episode in which the bride rode to
the railway station in the street car
rather than make the trip in a car
riage ornamented with fluttering
white ribbons and pasteboard hearts
furnished interesting greading for
the Washington public recently.
There is more or less serious side
to such incidents, which is often
overlooked, owing to the fact that
the serio comic william is likely to be
a jolly good fellow who in the vealy
abandon of his frolicsome animal nat
ure forces his slap-stick personality
into the drama in the best of friendly
high spirits. And surely the Jolly
good fellow is all right where he be-
longs. But when he presumes to
make burlesque of sacred ceremon-
ials and terroriizes blushing brides
and pallid bridegrooms he becomes,
TO us feminine expression appro-
pirate to the subject, a mean, horrid
old thing.
In the home circle or among the
close friends OF the happy pair" a
little innocent waggery may not APP
pear unbearably out fplace. But
waggery as soon as it approaches
horse play is Objectionable as a feat
ure of Wedding festivities. The
marriage rite is as holy and as i'm
pressive and as beautiful as any as
sociated with what is known as our
good fellow who interferes with its
proper observance is at once changed
into . jolly yahoo.
The cruelty of the thing is also
worth considering All the femenine
love of ceremonial display and
careful attention to artistic details
is awakened in a bride and of all
things in the heavens above or on
the earth beneath there is nothing
she would rather have perfect and
altogether seemly than her marriage
day, even to the most trifiing circum-
stance connected with it. But along
comes the jolly good fellow and
makes it a source of torment

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or q dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is IA mystery to herself and
friends, h, mother should come to her

hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in young girls life without

and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia Il. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound has accomplished

The prominent man who is spend
ing a week in the little hotel in the
small town is awakened late at
night by the hotel clerk.
Thinking that there is telegram
for him, he opens he door, to step in
lighted hallway, where there is a
crowd of people.
Hastily returning to his room, he
shuts the door, and after the clatter
of descending footsteps tells him that
the crowd has left he summons the
clerk to him.
What did you mean by permitting
me to appear before those people in
my night attire?' he asks.4s,
well, you see, sir, they an wanted
to see you, and they didn't have any
other chance, so | let them rip up

permeated even to this hamlet.

Rain Doubles the Mail.

The mail is affected by the weather,
according to a postal official and
women, he says, are largely to blame
for overworking employees on certain
days in the year. Immediately after
spell of bad weather or even one
rainy day the mail will be practically
double, and then men will have to
work overtime to handle it. In &C
counting for this state of affairs he
says that women stay at home when
it rains and answer their correspond
ence. This duty is pretty generally
put off when the weather is pleasant
for more congenial occupations, but
If the weather prevents their going
out then they settle themselves to a
day at their desks.-New York Sun.
