Secretary Pattison is busy settling
bills of the Colorado-New Mexico fair.
The recent fair brought lot of peo-
pie to town and was well worth the
money as an advertisement il 1t was
trifle expensive. 1t should be re-
membered the San Juan pioneers were
entertained and at any other time
the expense would have been twice
what ii was last week, the fair asso.
citation donating $500, and in addition
to this a side guarantee was put up
by number of pioneers. Then there
was the barbecue, Woodmen day ex.
penses and last but not least, the farm
er and stock grower came in for
good deal more money than usual, but
the exhibit was worth the money and
visitors from all over the country say
the Durango fair was the best of any
given on the western slope. The Her,
aid is well satisfied If 1t never sees
a penny of the guarantee fund.

Partisan Beauty Aid.

Now it's the face stretch. This new
est aid to beauty has become the rage
in Paris and doubtless will gain wide
vogue in the United States 1t is guar
anteed to make the average woman
past thirty look ten years younger The
best of it is you can do it yourself. 1t
consists of stretching the skin Of the
face toward the top of the head. Of
course that makes folds, but they are
hidden in the hair, and the face is left
as smooth as a schoolgirls. It's simple
enough, yet it requires care and pa
thence. Begin at the base of the throat
and rub gently upward until the hands
meet on the crown. Don't rub the nose
Let the hands part far enough to slide
on each side of it. But the cheeks must
be pushed upward and so must the
corners Of the eyes. When the hands
arrive at the top Of the head, lift them
and begin at the throat. The rubbing
should be extremely light at first. but
should become heavier by nice degrees.
Don't try to do all the stretching the
first day or the first week. 1t takes
three weeks to finish the task. But
when it's done the result rewards the
effort.

Deserved to Succeed.

A late matrimonial engagement is
said to be the outcome Of a daring
piece Of repartee on the part Of a
young wonIan who has enjoyed the
reputation of. being not only a wit, but
beauty and belle as we'll. Although
quite young, she was known to have
declined the honor OF matrimonial al
lance with several so-called catches
and it began at last. to be rumored
that he mind and heart were set on
one of her admirers who had not as
yet the temerity to come to the point
However that may be, the young
man in question was her partner in an
assembly, and during the intermission
for supper was seated with her in a
sequestered nook, far from the mad
ding crowd" ApropOs of something
that had been said, he asked her
laughingly if the report was true that
she had refused all the eligible men
in her set. She blushed vividly for a
moment, then suddenly raised her
head, looked him full in the face, and
said, pointedly:-
Eyes, it is true-present company
excepted"
It is, perhaps, needless to state that
they remained in the "sequestered
nook" some time. Rumor also has it
that the above conversation was over
heard by one of the discarded suitors,
who forthwith gave it away"

For weak, worn-out, over-worked Wom-
emo matter what has caused the
breakdown, vFavorite Prescription
will be found most effective in building
up the strength, regulating the womanly
functions, subduing pain and bringing
about healthy, strong, vigorous con-
dition of the whole system.
DIR. Pierce believes that our American
forests abound in most valuable medi-
cinal roots for the cure of most of our
obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we
would properly investigate them; and,
in confirmation of this firm conviction,
he points with pride to the almost mar
velous cures effected by his "Golden
Medical Discovery" which has proven
itself to be the most efficient stomach
tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and
regulator, and blood cleanser known to
medical science. Not less marvellous,
in the unparalleled cures it is constantly
making of woman's many peculiar afec-
tions, weakness and distressing derange-
ments, is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, as is amply attested by thousands
of unsolicited testimonials contributed
by grateful patients who have been
cured by it of leucorrhea, painful
periods, irregularities, prolapsus and
other displacements, liberation of uterus
and kindred affections, often after many
other. advertised medicines had failed.
Both these world-famed medicines
are wholly made up from the glyceric
extracts of native, medicinal roots,
found in our American forests The
processes employed in their manu-
facture were original with DR.. Pierce,
and they are carried on by skilled chem
| lists and pharmacists with the aid of
apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose.
Both medicines are entirely free from
alcohol and all other harmful, habit
forming drugs. What is said of their
power to cure the several diseases for
which they are advised may be easily
learned by sending your name and
address to DR.. r. Y. Pierce, Buffalo,
N.Y., for little booklet which he has
compiled, containing cOpious extracts
| from numerous standard medical books.
which are consulted as authorities by
physicians of the several schools of
practice for their guidance in prescrib-
ing. It is FREE TO ALL. A postal card
request will bring it.

DR.. Pierce's medicines, however, form
a single and therefore striking exception
to the above rule. Their claim to the
confidence of inyalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
say-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into DR.. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
of leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of the
curative value of the several ingredients
entering into these well known med
icines.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confding, open, honest state
ment of their full composition, giving
every ingredient IN plain English, with
out fear of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense of the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner of confding to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these

WONDERFUL new PINK
Flower of Great Beauty Pro-
duced by Woman Florist.
FIVE YEARS SPENT AT TASK.
Fragrant Blossom Combines All Fine
Qualities of Prosperity and Lawson
Specimens Hybrid Possesses
Much Desired Long, Stiff Stem and
Firm, Expansive Flower

Firm, Expansive Flower.
After five years Of almost continuous
experimenting and study in the by
bridization of plants Mrs. Edward B.
Beals of Eastern avenue. Springfield.
Mass, recently succeeded in reproduc-
ing pink from the Prosperity and
Lawson flowers which promises to
bring her the distinction of being the
world.
The new flower combines all the rare
qualities of both its progenitors.
Mrs. Beals, who. with her husband,
has for years been interested in the
work of hybridiZation and who is fol
lower of the writings and work of Lu-
Their Burbank. five years ago began ex-
perimenting with different species of
pinks that had a superior reputation
with the purpose of rearing a flower
that might take place in the world of
Horticulture as a perfect blossom.
The much discussed Lawson pink is
known as a profuse and early bloomer,
but it has always been recognized by
! florists as lacking the desirable long
stem. Moreover, the calyxes of the
blossoms are often liable to burst.
| On the other hand, while the Pros
perity, one of the noted pinks of today,
| has an extra long stem, it blossoms late
| in the season and lacks the stiffness Of
stem which the shorter stemmed Law
| son possesses. s..,
! After numerous experiments Mrs.
| Beals hit upon the idea OF rearing a
! hybrid flower by using the Prosperity
| pink as the. sire and the Lawson as the
| seed particle <.~t
For three years after, she had first
| begun. these experiments the flowers
| produced seemed to possess few mark
ed points of superiority over it's par
ents, and last year the experimental
was on the point Of disseminating her
work with these two blossoms and.try-
| ing others when one day she found
among her blooms wonderful pink
! that seemed to conform in all points to
the one which she was seeking to pro
duce

and soon found that the stem was both
long and stiff, the blossom firm, the
calyx full and unbroken and the color
perfect in hue, while the flower had all
the responsiveness and fragrance of the
high class parent.
Today the new pink is sensation
| among all the florists in New Eng
land. 1t conforms in all respects to q
| perfect pink. No other similar flower
possesses the stiffness and fragrance
which the latest Beals hybrid pos,
sesses.
The hothouses where Mr.. and Mrs
Beals have been doing their expert
menting are filed with great masses OF
this new flower, some in pure white
and some in deep and light pink and
some delicate combination Of these
colors. The hybrid also produces in
flaming crimson and lighter scarlet
and is today being sent to all parts OF
New England by the experimental not
only because of the increasing market
demand for it. but because of the furore
which has made it novelty among
florists everywhere in the east.

MONUMENT TO GULLs.
Salt Lake City's Plan to Commemorate

: Pioneer Experience of 1843.
The people Of Salt Lake City propose
to- erect a monument cOmmenorating
the harvesting Of the first intermoun-
tain crops by the Mormon pioneers in
the summer Of 1888. Just before the
crops matured great hordes of crickets
sWOoped down upon them from the
north. Quick destruction was threat
ened, when suddenly. from the, west
came an immense fight of gulls. which
settled in the fields and remained for
several weeks, destroying the crickets
and saving the crop. -.s. .
The earliest Utah legislation included
laws declaring the gull to be a sacred
bird and placing a heavy penalty on
any one caught molesting it, says Col
lier's Weekly. Many thousands nest in
the desolate islands of the Great Salt
lake. The enrichment at the top of
the Corinthian column that takes the
place of the conventional leaves is of
alighting gulls, and the bronze panels
at the base carry the story of the
planting of the first western crop. the

vest was being eaten by crickets. show

NO SUCH THING AS PULLING.
Sir Oliver Lodge Says It's Pushing
That Moves Thinqs Alonu


Sir Oliver Lodge. the English scien-
fist, has opened up new subject of
discussion. In an address the other day
he said that there was no such thing as
pulling.
To speak of a horse pulling a cart
was, he said, incorrect The horse did
not pull the cart. 1t pushed against its
collar and thereby produced motion in
the cart
Similarly the oarsman pushed the wa
ter, and the man drawing a handcart
had to clasp the handle, and the driv-
ing force was caused by the part which
clasped the handle and was therefore
behind it.
Even if the cart was fastened to the
mans coattail he did not pull it. He
pushed against his clothes.
