The "Silence Cure. "

Some noble and deep thinking ply
stefan has discovered what he calls
the silence cure" for all diseases of
the nerves. To apply the cure, ALI
to sit apart for an hour each day, In
absolute silence. Husbands who have
been able to try this cure report great
benefit, but of course, it is very hard
upon the ladies. Only the selfsacrific-
ing devotion of wife, who places her
husbands welfare above everything
would be capable OF carrying out the
terms of this cure, aud it is an ordeal
that cannot but be injurious to them
If persisted in So far, there have
been no explosions, but suppressed
conversation is very dangerous, and
at any time we may expect to hear
of such an accident, wrecking the
home and manning the family. Whilst
the silence cure" is undoubtedly Of
benefit to the patient, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, 1t Is attended
with such grave menaces that Il Is
doubtful if it ever become popular.
Our native chiyalry would cause us
to refuse to take advantage of it, We
would prefer to go on having our
nerves frazzled, rather than have our
devoted wives and mothers make this
heroic sacrifice. And, after all, there
are other means, answering the same
end, and safer. There is the svaca
tion cure" A man takes the "vacn
ton cure by sending her home TO
see her folks. II is expensive, but
safe And 1t does not entail suffer
ing upon the part of his devoted help
meet.

No One Wanted Box 13.

In no other western European coun-
try is superstition so prevalent as in
Austria-Hungary. Quite recently the
chamberlain Office changed the num-
Der of box 13 in the Imperial opera
house and the Imperial Court theater
to la, because the public objected to
sitting in a box bearing this unlucky
number None of the rich subscribers
who takes a box for the year wanted
No. 10, and for single performances it
was just as hard to dispose of.
This superstition reaches its height
in medicine. Speaking at the health
exhibition, DR.. Heinrich Grun declared
that in many instances superstition,
and especially local superstition, was
an absolute menace to public health.
In the Austrian hospitals one finds
no block or pavilion 49, no ward 10,
no staircase 10. Very few patients
will consent to be operated upon on
the thirteenth day of the month, and
In this respect Friday, too, is consid-
cred just as unlucky. At Carlsbad,
Marienbad, Gastein and other famous
Austrian cure resorts nobody wants
to begin his cure on a Friday.

The moons rays had stolen up until
the shadows of the window-bars lay
across the clasped hands, and strug

wall, untouched by the light from the
dimly burning lamp.

like a sigh from the paling lips, as
Jeans head was laid against Pierre's
shoulder.
Put out the lamp" added the dying
man, let us have only the moon
light"
This done, Jean resumed his place
by the bed and again took the hand
lying so white in the moon rays.
A deep, struggling sigh stirred the
silence.
What is It, my Pierre--art thou in
pain?"
There was no reply.
"Fierre, my brother, tell me-art
thou in pain?" Jean repeated, con.
sciots that the hand he held lay
heavy, and was growing cooler.
He laid 1t tenderly on the coverlet.

Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-o-sEE.n

The man who breaches the best SER

thousands of wives and mothers who

Pierre smiled, as his hot fingers
clasped the cool ones that seemed
throbbing with passion and revenge.

although weak, held yet a note of old
time humor, Nay, Jean, that would
be a puzzle whose answer is beyond
me. The bullets that found me were
meant for any one of us, and the
knife-thrust in my side was given by
a man | never saw before. And he
added grimly after a moments pause,
no other on earth will ever receive
a thrust from him.

CHAP XVI.

Night in New Orleans, where the
former gay life of the streets had for
many weeks been hushed by the
threatened calamity of an attack, or
possible siege.
The air of the city, muggy and life
less as the thunder showers of the
day had left it, was still more IN
bearable inside the walls of the gaol
where, on the upper floor, in cell
whose one narrow, iron-barred win
dow faced the east, lay Pierre LATTE.
The gaoler's wife came in with
jug of water, and filling cup, held
it to the stricken mans lips while
gently raising his head.
IN 'sieur Pierre, trust you will not
be angry with me that | sent this
afternoon to Father PHILIPPE, and ask
ed that a priest be sent here for your
comforting"

de St Jean?" he asked.
Surely, m'sieur; and saint him
self" she answered quickly.
Very well, then madame; you may
send the priest to me-" said Pierre,
YEARLY, and wondering if by any
chance he might here find a channel
through which to communicate with
Jean; for he had recalled the name
as that of one of the latter's friends
The woman soon returned, bringing
lighted lamp which she placed upon
the floor, near the foot of the bed,
and, Pierre, closing his eyes to shut
away the glare, did not see the tall,
blackrobed form that entered with
her and then motioned her to leave
the room.
AS she did so, the priest walked to
the window and stood looking out, his
back turned to the bed, until the last
echo of the womans footsteps died
away. Then ,striding hastily to the
door he closed it softly, and, throw
ing back his cowl, revealed the pale
face of Jean Lafitte.

ing care to lower his passionate voice

DIDN'T BELIEVE
That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.

Some people founder around and
take everything that's recommended
but finally find that coffee is the real
cause of their troubles. An Oregon
man says:
For 25 years l was troubled with
my stomach. | was steady coffee
drinker, but didn't suspect that as
the cause. | took almost anything
which someone else had been cured
with but to no good. / was very bad
last summer and could not work at
times.
"On Dec. 2, 1902, was taken SO
bad the doctor said l could not live
over "a hours at the most, and |
made all preparations to die. could
hardly eat anything, everything dis
tressed me, and / was weak and sick
all over. When in that condition cof-
fee was abandoned and l was put on
Postum, the change in my feelings
came quickly after the drink that was
poisoning me was removed
"The pain and sickness fell away
from me and l began to get we'll day
by day, so | stuck to it until now /
am we'll and strong again, can eat
heartily, with no headache, heart
trouble or the awful sickness of the
old coffee days. / drink all wish of
Postum without any harm and enjoy
1t immensely.
This seems like a strong story,
but | would refer you to the First
Natl Bank, the Trust Banking Com
pany or any merchant of Grants
Pa Ore, in regard to my standing,
ana | will send sworn statement
of this if you wish You can also use
my name" Name given by Postum
&C., Battle Creek, Mich.
Still there are many who persist
emily fool themselves by saying "Cof-
fee don't hurt me-" A ten days trial
of Postum in its place will tell the
truth and many times save life.
There's a reason"

"Cruising for Salvage"

One man in New York says he
makes a good living by what he calls
cruising for salvage. He goes about
in an automobile and follows novices
trying to operate recently purchased
machines, If the machines break
down or stop he comes up in time to
offer his services as a tug or to offer
about half the value of the machine
If the owner is so Disguised that he
wishes to sell.

The prediction of the countess OF
Aberdeen made, at the International
Council of Women in Paris, that the
French woman will be the first to
obtain the vote upon any large scale
may well have caused surprise among
the British, German and American
delegates. American writer's upon
"the woman question" have Otter
fallen back upon two absurdities: tht
first, that Tacitus described the Ger
mans whom the Romans fought as
paying special Difference to Their
women; the second, that the French
have no word for home" Add to this
the misapprehensions of fve-weeks
tripper seeing Paris by night" and
a hasty observation on the Sale law
and you have the genesis of an i'm
preston of the position of women in
France which Is as prevalent as 1t Is
preposterous. The fact is that Ia
citus' observations would have ap
piled quite as well to the Franks as
to other early northern tribes; that
the French get along very well with
the word home" so long as they have
the thing; that French family life is
at it's best of almost ideal beauty,
and that their sticking SO long to the
Salic law was one of the blunders OF
the Bourbons which does not In any
case affect opinion of the republic.
Since the revolution in France many
things have changed. For one thing,
the waste of men in war has famil
iarized women with varied industry
and with the management of estates
and business establishments as in
perhaps no other country. The
French family council system re-
tains for woman not only the re-
spect Of her grown son. but even
considerable measure of legal control
over him long after English and
American law would emancipate him.
He canont even marry without his
parents consent. In hundred ways,
says the New York World, France is
the country OF the married woman.
That young girls are still carefully
watched and secluded is of minor i'm.
portance. The system works not bad.
1y. There may even be lands where
daughters have too much freedom and
power for their own good and where
mothers are too meek. The growth
of ''feminisme" In France of recent
years has been rapid. 1t compelled
the institution of divorce law.
Woman suffrage Is cardinal tenet
in socialism, which has nowhere more
power in actual government than it
has attained in France In Russia,
which Is largely dominated by French
thought, the douma has declared for
the woman's vote. American woman
suffragists were for years divided into
two bitter hostile factions on the ques-
ton whether to work with the public
in the several states or to appeal di-
rect to congress- The French fem
INST adopts the latter course with
out hesitation. According to the
countess of Aberdeen, she has COM
menced by trying TO convince the leg
islator instead of the public. 1t is
method we'll adapted to France, where
abstract ideas have always had
fascination for public men.

4MADELIA PICNIC DRAWS 8 W Il
Several Thousand People Attend
Madelia's Party.

Those who attended the Modern
Woodmen picnic held at Madelia last
week are warm in their praise OF the
city and the treatment received by the
citizens of that place. According to
all accounts the picnic was the largest
in the way Of numbers that has ever
been held, the estimated number OF
those in attends nce being 5000.
The Madelia Messenger says OF the
picnic: More than 5000 people were
present to see the drills, races, ball
game and other amusements which
took place at the Athletic Park. The
track was in excellent condition and
the races were all good, several OF the
best horses of this section having been
entered. The Forester drill was beau
tiful, the contesting teams, those OF the
Mankato and ST. James camps, each
doing such excellent work and execut-
ing with such apparent ease and grace
the various maneuvers that it was
difficult for the judges to choose the
winner. Upon counting the points,
however, Mankato was found to have
721 as against 70 for st. james and
was declared the winner.
The attractions we're all good, the
shows were clean and well conducted,
and the crowd was the best natured,
most genteel and best behaved that
ever assembled on an occasion like this.
There was no carousing, no buldozing,
no loud or bolsterous exhibition Of
any kind. Instead, everyone seemed
to be happy and out for a good time
in its true sense. There was plenty o.
laughter and merriment but II was or
the peaceful. sensible order, and every
town which was represented here las
week may we'll be proud Of the gentle
manly conduct of her citizens.
