MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HgR.
Miss Peck VIII Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
Hre is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru. beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
OF the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself, but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
WINGED that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults Of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS it was she reached a height Of
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt. Ono of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top of the mountain, OF
which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband.
oned.

MARCUS AURELIUS
BY HAROLD AVERY
Copyright, 1906. by Joseph B, BOwles)

1t was while a large party Of US
were staying one summer at a farm
house-that the boy picked him up
a little, sad-faced, lop-sided, mongrel
puppy.
The old ~sheep-dog, who had long
lost all recollection of his own child
hood, treated him with that arrogant
contempt with which Age, that may
be said to have learnt words Of n
syllable, habitually regards poor
Youth, still struggling with the alpha
bet, and in consequence the unfor'
tunate juvenile was forced to seek
amusement in the society of a litter of
small pigs. Whenever you crossed
the farmyard you were sure to catch
sight of him trotting about with his
miniature herd of baby swine, his de-
jected look, and ragged puppy coat,
making him the very personificatton OF
a poor little four-footed prodigal.
Whether, under the circumstances,
1t would have been fair to have
blamed the pup for his choice of
friends, or to have judged him by the
company he kept, are questions which
the reader can decide, but l know at
the time he certainly seemed to me to
be, from an intellectual standpoint,
hardly at all superior to his compan-
ions.
When you called him he promptly
ran away, and if you pursued he would
lie down and grovel on his back in the
mud, and as often as you set him on
his feet he instantly fell down again.
What little mind he had appeared to
be attracted towards medical research,
and (having no one else to practice
on) he freely administered to himself
most strange garbage with all that dis
regard of personal risk which charac'
terizes a true martyr of science.
A penchant for prescribing for his
own real or fancied ailments seemed
indeed to attend him all through life,
and even now, though we'll advanced
in years, it is hardly possible to take
him for a run round the garden with

Every Sufferer.
Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony Of
it's victims. Worst of all. the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure o even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if a person 10
subject to these headaches there Is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia. are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 80 Union
Street, Auburn, Me-, says: For
years I suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
FIVE or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that l would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. 1t
was particularly intense over my right
eye. | tried medicines but got no re-
lief. mad no appetite. and when
the headache passed away l felt as if
I had been sick for a month. NY
blood was thin and l was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
II read about DR.. Williams Pink
! Pills In a paper and decided to try
them. l first noticed that they be.
gan to give me an appetite and l
commenced to gain in weight and

his heart that he secretly purchased
the object of it from the farmers son,
the price paid being a dime and the
two bottom joints of a fishing rod.
This happened the day before we
left, and on the following morning,
while returning in an open wagonnette
a sudden exclamation from n Of the

SURPRISED to observe a small, brown
face peering down at us from under

His prse,iea, idea.

A benevolent old man who lived on
his farm in Iowa never refused shell
ter to any who might ask it OF him.
His many friends demonstrated with
him about this characteristic, know
ing that many INSCRIPTIONS hoboes
would avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity, and that there was great dam
ger of the old man being robbed. To
these circumstances the old man re-
piled that he believed in practical
Christianity"
But" said n of his friends, this
seems very impractical. Suppose one
of these men took it into his head to
rob you one night?"

Deputy Marshal Resented sus9es'

A retired deputy United States mar

ences a few days ago., says the Wash

a lawyer. Some trouble had arisen

chimes, and the selling company a
secured proper papers by which to
seize the machines, which papers were
given to the deputy marshal.
When the attorney for the sewing
machine dealers learned that the pa
pers were to be served by this par
ticular deputy he went to the chief
and protested, asking that the papers
be given to a younger and larger dep

protest.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS.
Junketing Committee Recommends
Sum of $780,, 1875.

Secretary Goldman of the junketing
committee, composed of Senator Dor
ris, Representative Norfieet and Rep
resentative Woods, has completed the
report of that body, which was sub
mitted to the general assembly. If its
recommendations prevail the state in
situations will receive an aggregate of
1861, 1875, which is one-third the
estimated revenue of the state. Meth
er the state penitentiary o Lincoln
institute, the state school for negro
youths, is taken into this calculation,
but this would not materially increase
the total, as the prison is practically
self-sustaining.
Two years ago, or rather for the
last biennial period, the states re-
ceipts from all sources were $11, 220,-
S13.37, but this included $475, 1878
received from the national govern
debt, and that is one large item which
can not be included in the returns for
the coming biennial period, for which
the estimates put the figures at $40,
S05,369.25. The report makes a rec
ommendation for the creation of an
insurance fund of $500, 900 with which
to carry insurance on the state build
tngs, me of which, except the eXecu
tive mansion, is 0 protected II
also suggests the appointment of al
expert accountant, who shall pay stat
ed visits to the several institutions
auditing their books, the recommends
tion being based on the ground tina
the 'junketing" committee is not al
lowed sufficient time on its visits
made every two years, to perform this
work as it should be done.
The largest single item in the re
port is the appropriation fC- the state
university, $623, 500. The school foI
the blind, located in st. Louis, fares
fairly we'll in the report, which recon
mends that it be given $104, 700. Tit
two new normal schools, created a
the 1905 session, one located at Mary
Vile and the other at Springfield, arr
down for $500 600 each, the amour
being necessarily large, because build
ings are to be erected and equipped
The value Of the buildings owned BY
the state at its several institutions il
stated to be 49, 50, 900, and these havt
been without insurance. The recon
mendation for an insurance fund i
strengthened by the loss recently ell
tailed upon the state by the burning
of the colony for the feeble-mlnded a
Marshall.
Two years ago the recommendation
of this committee were for appropria
Ttions a%ggregating $1,000, 600, or $1,101
1875 less than is now recommended
The report compliments the manage
ment of the several institutions, an
makes no recommendations as t
changes in that respect.

Alcohol and Pauperism.

The relation of p~auperism to intern.
perance seems very plain to the peo-
pie of Japan. In Great Britain there
are 1000, 900 paupers, while Japan has
only 25, 1000. When some one expressed
surprise at the great disparity and
wondered why in Japan there is so
small an element of pauperism in pro
portion to population, the reply of a
Japanese statesman was: THAT is be-
cause while the Japanese drink tea
the British drink alcohol."-Ram's

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness 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-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
