A Woman's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other displaee-
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there is no remedy
that will give quicker relief or more per-
manent cure than DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t has record of over forty
years of cures, 1t is the most potent
invigorating tonic and strengthening ner-
vine known to medical science. It is made
of the glyceric extracts of native medici-
nal roots found in our forests and con-
tains not drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-fOrming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into VA
vorite Prescription" has the written en-
dorsement of the most eminent medical
writer's of all the several schools of prac-
tice-more valuable than any amount of
non-professional testimonials though the
latter are not lacking, having been con-
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
in numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest of his and it is an
insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you a substitute. You
know what you want and it is his busf-
ness to supply the article called for.

tional1y bright boys and girls, students

Let us not be earth worms, glad to

head with his hand-and then come
away and tell exactly what the mat
ter was. Once, when Maj. Pettit's
Duran bull got wild, refused to per
nit any one to come near it, and raved
around its pasture lot as if mad, the
boy calmly walked up to it, and, after
a time, came away and reported.

thing hurting its foot and that the

the tOOthache, after veterinarians had
tried in vain to cure it-and when
the tooth was removed the horse got
well.
He told what the pet rabbits said,
he even talked with the pigs, and, in

General Sunshine.

Many ways appear to those who
wish to make each day one full of the
sunshine of hope and present it as
a lovers staff with which all may walk
hence, and manage time against de-
spairing thoughts. The problem of
the working girl and woman and child
is an ever present one to solve. Since
the early New England days, when
lectual friends and worked side by
side with her untutored young sisters
in the Lowell mills, its solution has
become more and rnore difficult
The kindness of the poor to the
poor is lesson learned by those who,
throwing aside the conventionalities,
luxuries and restraints of more pros
porous conditions, have dressed and
lived and worked as the masses are
doing
We read of many instances; Walter
Besant has given us vivid pictures. In
the Ladies' Home Journal, the mil
lionheirsses have done so and acted
as fairy godmothers if the tales be
true, and why should they not be? /?
There is no surer way of helping the
struggling than by adding pleasures
necessities which are luxuries to them
opportunities for having music, at
tending lectures and entertainments
which will fill the mind with good
thoughts and making each day bright
er by a new bit of color in the home
or in adornments for the person
Queen Victoria's "cake" was not SO
bad after all, if only it be good cake
full of plums.
In Experiences of a Literary Wo-
man as a Working Girl. Marie Van
Worst gives a graphic picture of her
experiences She did not shrink from
the disagreeable. That is one feature
of sunshine Our workers are not
those who shrink from the disagree
able; they give themselves, they are
care-takers, life savers and uplifters.
Let us all strive to find some practical
way each day in which we can be
true rays of sunshine on darkened
lives. This is a message for all who
love sunshine and are trying to scatter
it north or south.

The American Boy tells an almost in
credible story, we feel inclined to
make the comment which we read of
being made, once on a time. A man
had told a very important tale, his
friend who heard it said: well, as
you say that you saw it L must be
lieve it. but if 1 had seen it myself, |
should not believe it,
One of our big city dailies tells of
a strange case of understanding be-
tween man and animals Down in
eastern Alabama is a six-year-Old boy,
Howard Erwin, who is said to be able
to converse with, understand and
make himself understood perfectly by
animals of all kinds. By some mys-
teriOus power that he possesses he
holds long talks with cows, mules,
dogs, horses, sheep, cats, and even
with the barnyard fowls. How he
does it, nobody knows. The power
seems to have been born in him. 1t
is known that when he is near an ami
NAL both he and the animal make
sounds, though he speaks nothing
that is Ineligible to the human ear
The negroes in the vicinity avoid the
boy through superstitious fear.
One evening his father, tired from
the days work, was lying on the
grass, when Howard came trotting in
from the barn.
.sPaw, he said, "Jen told me her
knee hurt her. She says she sprained
it plOwing today"
Il reckon that mule lied to you,
son." remarked his father. 'fI reckon
she's jes' powerful lazy and don't want
to work tomorrow
''She says she can't work tomOr-
row. said the boy. 'Her leg is so
sore she can't hardly touch it to the
ground"
Il reckon she's just tellin' you that
sos you'll tell me- remarked the
father.
The next day Jen was put to work,
but before noon her leg was so swollen
that Erwin was forced to abandon his
blowing and bring the suffering ami
NAL into the barn. And for weeks she
was unable to work.
81 don't understand it." remarked
the man. There wasn't a mark or
swelling on her, for | examined her
closely before taking her out to work. -

Listen to the boy" said the moth
er 1.-The idea of Trace killing sheep.
Why, there amt any sheep around
here, except Mr.. TOmlinsOn's, and
none of them have been killed.
''Well.' argued the boy, ''he says
him and the Norton dog killed two
sheep i'm Mr.. TomlinsOn's back past
ure''
And the next day the carcasses of
two sheep were found in the bushes
at the edge of the pasture.
You'd better tell Trace he'll be kill

Traits.

Walter" in the New Haven Sun
day Leader, gives an interesting ac-
count of how as boy he watched
a brood of fluffy chickens, for whom
he had provided generous supply OF
fish worms. AS soon as one chick
grabbed piece of the bait another
seized it, and soon the whole brood
were tumbling over each other in their
attempt to have this morsel, while
an abundance of food, in the form of
a wriggling mass awaited them, which
was returned to mother earth re-
joicing in its escape doubtless.s Is
not this like crowd of human beings,
all attempting to secure what seems
the main chance at the expense OF
another, while golden opportunities
are let slip? Again, how often we see
a person attempting some piece OF
work which battles him, and the
crowd around all eager to show him
how to do it, and getting red-faced
if the chance of a trial is accorded.
Do we not often see this 1nstanced!
People who are anxious to do it all
instead of letting the original person
work out his own problems while they
attend to theirs? Most persons prefer
to work out matters for themselves,
and are spurred on to more persistent
efforts by the derision of the crowd.

Heinze Wants Fines Returned.

HELENA, March 28.-J. NJ. Denny,
as counsel for F. Augustus Heinze,
today filed a petition in the United
States court praying that Clerk of the

directed % return to Messrs. Heinze,
Trerise and Frank the sun of approx.
imately $25, 900, which has been on de.
posit to his credit in the FIRST Nation

It will be remembered that during

sitting for Judge Hiram Knowles, i'm.
posed fines % Heinze, Trerise and
Frank 10 the amounts of $40, 900, 81.
600 and 81, 900, respectively, for con.
tempt of court. This sum was turned
over to Clerk Sproule with instruc.
tions that it be deposited. 1t has
borne interest since then to the amount
of 3 ,4O0, making the total amount ap.
p~roximately s25 900.
The petition urges that Judge Beat
ty had not assessed the sums as a per.
manent fine, but rather in the nature
o. court orders. The Michael Dewitt
sui. has been settled along with the
other Observation-Disclosures cases, and
it is urged that the money be refunded.
The matter will be given a hearing at
