BEES CLOSED A MINE.
Swarmed in Millions and Men Were
Unable to Work.

There are instances in great number
where mining operations were tenn
porarily suspended by shortage Of
funds or by water flooding the proper
ty, but it remained for Mohawk,
small station along the Southern Pa,
cific, to furnish new, cause which is
unique in the history of mining. The
company affected owns the Red Cross
mines in the Mohawk mountains.
Millions of bees, attracted by the
water at these mines and forced from
their hives in the mountains by the
drought, took possession of the water
supply, and their numbers were so
great that it was found impossible to
drive the swarms away. Consequently
the mines have been shut down until
the rainy season sets in, when it is
hoped the bees will return to their
mountain homes-Sacramento Bee.

STRANGE World Tour.

A story is told in Paris of titled
painters pilgrimage. Ten years ago
Viscomte Jacques de Gruart laid a
wager of $50, 900 that he and his bride,
to be married in the day of departure,
could make tour of the world, living
on the earnings of the vicomte's brush.
There was no stipulation as to time.
The pair have just reached Paris on
their return, after successfully &C.
complishing their undertaking and
winning their bet. They have trav-
ersed Euroupe, America, Africa and
Australia, living on nothing but the
meager profits of the vicomte's brush.

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in
Weight and Became Well by Taking
DR.. WilIiams' Pink Pills.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future i'll their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better If the system is purified by
such a tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. D. G. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
81 was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months i'll all,
during two years. had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming i'll my head and nervous
troubles.
"Iwas under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and l decided that 1 would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes moro was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
l began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued i'll the best of
health. l have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-
count of what they did for me, and 1 feel
that l cannot praise them too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
i'll full vigor every function of the bod.
is restored, because the blood carries to-
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
who is interested i'll the cure of Ms We'd
ding will want our book, "Plain Talks to
Women" which is free on request.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
paid, on receipt of price, so cents per box,
six boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get tie
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and f1neness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
iance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

list, We need men who are Demo-
Gratis beyond question or cavil.
Ind, We need men who are honest above
suspicion of graft or corruption in any
form. We should have men whom no
railroad influence could bribe or bull
dsze, and whom Elkins and Bowers
cannot control :even in the slightest
degree. The people demand such men
and will vote for none ether. We have
