LOVE LAUGHS AT FLOODS.
Two Marriage Licences Necessary For
Happiness, but lie Got Them.

High water played all sorts of havoc
with the wedding plans of Chauncey
Lewis Cell and his intended, says the
Portland Oregonian. He had to buy
two marriage licenses and to pay his
hard earned dollars into the Golfers
of two states before the way was
legally paved.
Mr.. Cell appeared at the county
clerks office yesterday afternoon.
He stood under the old wedding bell
there for moment and then asked,
Can | buy a marriage license here?"
Deputy County Clerk Cupid Rose in
formed him that he could, and soon
the papers were made out.
How much?" asked Cell
Three dollars was the quick re-
ply.
"Well, guess I'll have to pay up"
said the prospective bridegroom, but
it's pretty tough to have to buy two
licenses to marry the same girl. Only
yesterday l bought a marriage license
over in Cathlamet, Wash, but we be-
came frightened over the reports OF
high water and came over here.
was told that my Washington license
was no good here, so | am getting
this one 1t has cost me SS so far for
licenses alone Wonder what the
preacher will want?"

County Commissioners met Monday
and among the business of unusual i'm
portance transacted by that august body
was the purchasing of Burroughs add
ing machine. The machine was badly
needed and was bought primarily for the
use of the assessor, although it will be OF
service to other of the county officers.
These machines are in use in almost
every county in the state and are so use
full they are becoming to be regarded as
Indispensable. 1t is remarkable what the
machines eau do and the accuracy with
which they add, multiply and subtract.

A Zulu Warcry.

The Zulu warcry used, whenever
they take the field, by the South Afri-
can footballers now in London, has
puzzled our newspapers, not one of
which seems able to spell it correctly,
says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as "Igamilzho," and
the Daily Mail as "Gammilio." The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written "Igama layo." "1ga-
ma is Zulu for name" and "layo"
is possessive pronoun meaning
either his" of ''their." Thus the Daily
Mail, although quite wrong in its Or
biography of the word, is right in say
ing that it merely means THAT is his
name" The explanations that Zulu
etiquette does not allow warriors,
when they rush into battle, to men,
ton the names of their enemies, but
the leaders shout out, That is his
name!' pointing to the victims with
their spears.

A Mile of Pennies.

The endless chain having outlived

tain fields cast about for something
new to gather in the money One Of
them figured that between $500 and
$500 could be secured from mile of
pennies if placed in line. \ roll of
court plaster, measuring ten yards,
similar to that used by physicians,
was secured, and sent out in bits.
In little while they came back filed.
Then other rolls went through the
same process, and before month the
mile of pennies" had been secured.
AS the rolls are flied the money is
taken off. so that if the scheme be-
comes popular the government need

Crocodile Skins,

Consul General w. H. Michael
states that a Calcutta trade journal
calls attention to the demand for croc-
odile skins in America, and from time
to time has urged the natives living
contiguous to crocodile haunts to en-
gage extensively in the business of
killing this creature for his skin, guar
anteeing that they will be able to sell
to American buyers at remunerative
prices all the skins they can take.
There are thousands of crocodiles
in the lagoons and tide water streams
of India, easily accessible, and there
are Indians in plenty to hunt them
and take their skins. Consequently
there is no reason why big trade in
crocodile skins should not be built up
between the United States and India

A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
a medicine is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; II
remedy, the makers of which print its
formula on every bottlc-wrapper and at
test its completeness and correctness
under oath; q remedy devised and adapted
to womans delicate constitution by an
educated pnysician-an experienced spe-
cialist in woman'S diseases; remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emil
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; remedy which has
more bona tide cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of trial bottles to be
experimental with, but is sold at u fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down. or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen. or
pelvis. backache, frequent headaches.
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled. has gnawng feeling in
stomach. sees imaginary floating specks,
or Spots before ncr eyes. mas melancnoili,
or "blueS." or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of DR.:
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t will
invigorare and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as a substitute for a medi-
cine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion. which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has n record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before. Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients. believing open publicity to be
the very best guaranty of merit.
Dr. Pierce invites all suffering women
TO consult him by letter free Of charge.
All letters Of consultation are held as
sacredly confidential and an answer is re-
turned in plain sealed envelope. Address:
