GUARANTY OF MERIT.
When the maker OF medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fcarlcssly publishing broad-
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
full list of all its ingredients in plain
English, this action on his part is tho
best possible evidence that he Is not
afraid to have the search light of inves-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure OF the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements of the or.
ganS distinctly feminine, Is the only me,!i-
cine put up for sale through druggists ior
Is not afraid to take his patients ia,
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper. will show that il
Is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that it contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar
cotics and no alcohOl-pure, triple-refined
glycerine. of proper strength being used
Instead Of the commonly employed alco.
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
employed. 1t is the only medicine for
women's peculiar diseases, sold by drug
gists, that does not contain a large per
centage Of alcohol, which is in the long
run so harmful to wOman'S delicate, nerv-
GUS system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
into the "FavOrite Prescription"
Some Of the ablest medical writer's and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients of which "Fa-
v0rite Prescription" is composed
ommending. them for the cure of tho
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine Is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro-
fcsst0ndI endorsement-worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. II

book Of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,

telling Just what Dr. Pierce's medicines
are made Of. It's free for the asking.

Circular Ruffles for Petticoats.
Chicago Daily News.

If annoyed by the dust-holding
qualities of the ordinary petticoat
ruffie. as well as by the rapidity with
which it wears out, try cutting the
next one in circular form. Use two
yards of yard-wide taffeta, cut two
circles yard in diameter, then cut
smaller circle from the center Of each,
leaving the ruffle a foot in width.
Cut open the circular ruffles on a
straight edge and join the two pieces
with felled seams. Hem and attach
as you would any ruff1e. When the
hem trays, cut it off, and rehem.
This method offers no folds and
creases in which dust may settle, and
thus prolongs the life of the petticoat.

One morning Willie said to his
father very seriously, Papa, had
a strange dream this morning."
Papa-Indeed! What was it?
l dreamed, papa, that died and
went to heaven, and when ST. Peter
met me at the gate, instead of show
ing me the way to the golden street,
as expected, he took me out into
large field, and in the middle of the
field there was a ladder reaching
away up into the sky and out of sight.
Then St. Peter told me that heaven
was at the top and that in order to
get there l must take the big piece
OF chalk he gave me and slowly climb
the ladder, writing on each rung
some sin l had committed.
Papa got interested and laying
down his newspaper, asked, And
did you finally reach heaven, my
SOM"
No, papa, for just as I was try
ing to think of something to write on
the second rung l looked up and saw
you coming down" d"
And what was l coming down
for?"
That's what I asked you, and you
told me you were coming down for
more chalk"
Oriental Wit.
Ernest Harold Baynes, the noted
nature writer, is one of the leaders
of the American Bison society, which
has been formed to protect the disap-
pearing bison of the prairies. Mr..
Baynes was talking about the bison
the other day in the drug store of
the little town of Newport, N. H.
Why" said he, :" if we don't look
out, our bison will be like the orien-
tall S mongoose.
An oriental, saffron-colored, in
garbs of flowing white, sat in the
smoking car of Pullman. A thin,
inquisitive man took the seat beside
him and began to question him.
" " Where ye from?'
"' Delhi
''' Where ye goin'?'
" Los Angeles
"' Are ye in the rug business?
"'No.'
Retired?'
-" No. do no work.
Born rich, hey?'
So the questions went on, and
the oriental no doubt got tired of
them. For, when the man asked him
what he had in his kitbag, he an
swered that he had q mongoOse.
-" A mOngoose?' said the other.
What's q mongOoseT
." A mongoose is q little animal
that kills snakes. Didn't you ever
read Mr.. Kipling's story of " Rikki-
tikki-tavi"?'
." No. But what are you goin' to
do with a mongoOse in Los AngelesT
" am going to see my uncle, ;
said the oriental. He is a heavy
drinker, and is suffering from delir-
ium tremens. When his attacks
come on, he sees all kinds of snakes,
and am taking the mongoose out
there to kill them.
The inquisitive man leaned back
in his seat and laughed.
"' Why, he said, they're not real
snakes your uncle sees. They're
imaginary
40 And, replied the oriental calm
ly, this is an imaginary mongoose. q"

Tied these ribbons on my hair,

NEXT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The forecast of the Democratic ma
tional platform of next year advanced
by National Committeeman Dahlman,
of Nebraska, mentions several planks
that are certain to be made conspic-
uOuS.
President ROOSevelt's radical and
revolutionary OutgivingS with re-
spect to the relations between the
Federal Government and the States
make it inevitable that the Demo-
cratic platform of next year will con-
tain strong declarations defining the
powers of the one and the rights of
the other.
The Presidents dangerous attacks
upon the inherent and reserved
rights of the States must be met
with the declaration, strong as it
can be made, that the United States
are a Federal Republic and. not a
consolidated Empire. The rights of
the several States to do or to leave
undone the things which lie wholly
within their constitutional power
will be affirmed in positive and un-
mistakable language.
That the present Republican Pres
ident has overridden the constitu-
tional limitations which define his
functions as one of the three CO.
ordinate branches of the Govern
ment, will certainly be another de-
claration of the Democratic National
Convention when it meets in 1908.
Usurpations by the President OF
powers which belongs to other
branches of the Government, or to
the State, will assuredly be con-
demned in language as strong as it
can be made. In the year which
marks the centennial of the election
of Thomas Jefferson's successor to
the Presidency the Democratic party,
which jefferson founded, will pledge
itself to defend with all it's might
the principles of government which
he established.
In the defense of these principles
there would be material for a cam.
paign of patriotism without touch.
ing any other issues. But specific
measures based upon these principles
will not be overlooked.
The Democratic principle which
resists a tariff that grants extrav'
agrant favors to certain interests
while heavily burdening the masses
of the people will be forcibly re
asserted. But the tariff plank viii
be constructive, not destructive. II
should demand tariff policy some
what like that of the law of 1888
repeal or lowering of the most op
pressive schedules and gradual re
duction of others as fast as it car
be done without giving sudden
wrench to the protected industries.
More rapid improvement of naviga
ton in American rivers to meet the
demands of traffic which has out
grown the capacity of the railroads
should be made more prominent ir
the platform of next year that it has
been in any previous one.
| Declaration against unlawful anC
oppressive trusts, corrupt control ol
political and other familiar evils will
of course, be written by the conven
tion, but the platform should be
strongest in affirming the principles
upon which this Republic was sc
firmly founded by the fathers. Right
ly applied those principles provided
for every good thing the people o.
America need for their happiness anC
welfare.

Snow at Waterville.

Douglas County Press: Every one
in this vicinity woke up Saturday
morning to find the ground covered
with a couple of inches of snow and
still coming down fast and furiously.
However by noon it had almost all
disappeared and the sun was shining
brightly. The nights since have
been cold and freezing and altogether
uncomfortable. 1t is about time the
old man was getting off the lid of
summer and turning it loose.

PECANS.

While the pecan will grow in
almost any soil it must be plant
Ell in, rich soil to succeed well
and bottom lands are far better
than uplands. Nature only
grew it on the alluvial bottoms,
except in a very limited way on
some of the richest black lands
of Texas. The alluvial bottoms
of the lower Mississippi and it's
southern tributaries is where
pecans are grown with the best
success and the least expense.
The proper distance apart to
plant the trees may vary some
what in accordance with the
land they are to grow on and
the plan that is to be followed
in regard to their treatment. On
bottom lands and when 25
years old, or over, they should
be 100 feet apart, but if they
are to be thinned with the ak
and grubbing-hoe they may be
planted so feet apart. By no
means plant them permanently
on any land nearer than 8 feet
. Always plant grated or bud
ded pecan trees. Seedlinges are
very unsatisfactory, no matter
how good nuts are planted.
Crops of cotton, corn or al
frequent and clean cultivation
may be and should be grown
among the trees for many
years.

SPRAY.


For forty years the United
States Government has been u.s.
ing on all its forts and light
houses, whitewash prepared ac-
cording to the following formu-
la. 1t is claimed that, made in
this way, the wash will stick
better and retain it's brilliancy
longer than any other, and that
it is not easily affected by rain
or weather. Of course it is
necessary to strain the material
carefully before applying
through a pump, else more or
less trouble will result from
the clogging of the nozzle, but
with ordinary care at the start,
no inconvenience will be eXper-
fenced.
Half a bushel of unslacked
lime, slack with warm water,
cover it during the process to
keep in the steam; strain the
liquid through a fine sieve or
strainer; add Q peck of salt pre-
viously well dissolved in warm
water, three pounds of ground
rice boiled to thin paste and
stirred in boiling hot; half
pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and a pound of glue
which has been previously dis
solved over a slow fire, and add
five gallons hot water to the
mixture, stir well and let stand
for few days, covered from
the dirt. Strain carefully and
apply with spray pump. 1t
should be put on hot. There is
nothing that can compare with
it for outside or inside work,
and it retains it's brilliancy for
many years. Coloring matter
may be put in and made of any
shade, Spanish brown, yellow
ochre of common clay.

DEVELOPMENT OF A HIOEOus CRIME.

uLvllurWLnl VI n niuIuuo unimI.
New Orleans Picayune Feb. 8:
The Picayune has no more than a
a mere curious interest in the
Thaw case, now the center of SO
much attention. not only at New
York. where it is being conducted,
but throughout this vast country.
Nevertheless. it can not con-
template the depicting of an act
of most atroclous infamy as set
forth in the thrilling narrative of
the young wife as told on the
witness stand yesterday. without
giving expression to the extreme
indignation which the crime
described. must evoke from every
honest and chivalrous man.
The internal villainy which
characterized every step of the
proceeding by which young
girl. scarcely more than q child.
was cnticcd into a luxurious and
splendid den of infamy. like the
center of a spiders web. and
there drugged and rendered
insensible. was subjected to
infamous atrocities cannot be suf-
fciently execrated in language.
This helpless child, whose
extreme beauty and innocence
and poverty were made the prey
Of the spoiler. was believed by her
destroyer to be without frierd

and who was this villain that
wrought so heinous . wrong9
He was a man of middle age.

beautiful and amiable wife,

prominent in society, and distin-
guished In his profession. Know
ing that in the cases of other
children he had debauched money
would heal all wounded honor,
he committed his beastly CRIME
once too often. His poor victim
found 4 vindicator. who shot to
death the infamous miscreant as
he deserved.
Doubtless the prosecution will
bring witnesses to prove that the
child debauched and outraged the
man, since persons can be found
everywhere who will swear to
anything for a consideration, but
however the case may be finally,
decided, the world and human
society are better of in the fact
that the most odious of human
creatures. the dcbaucher Of inno-
cence. was shot down in his
tracks and died the reptiles death
which he deserved.
