Bachelor MUSINGS.

It's cheaper to be married than
to be engaged.
In the game of hearts, when in
doubt always lead diamonds.
If you are not prepared to diet
don't attempt to live on love.
The foolish girls signs to be the
first in a mans life; the wise one
seeks to be the last.
A good man often burns the can
die at both ends in order to throw
more light on the subject.
Even though a man thinks the
world OF a woman, he should re-
member that there are others.
Women rarely know what a con-
tempt they have for society until
they find themselves cut by it.
When you stand on the doorstep
of Love always get past into the
hall before you give the belle a
ring.
A man will try to marry the girl
he loves "a girl will try to love the
man she marries.
There is only one man to whom
women can be crueller than to the
one she hates that is the man
whom she loves. Elk.

Sound Advice for Democrats.

From now until election day,
each and every Democrat should
stand united on the ticket nominal

and so gets on the ticket, especially
if the ticket is composed of good
men like the one chosen by the
people few days ago.-Excelsior

NERVOUS
HEADACHES
Frequently Caused by Mental
OVerWOrk.
Car Be Cured Only by Tonine 10 the
Nervous System, the Treatment
Which Restored This Young
Ithaca Woman to Health.


One who has not endured the suffer
ing caused by nervous headache cannot
realize the awful agony of its victims.
Worst of all, the ordinary treatmentA
cannot be relied upon to cure nor event
to give relief that is permanent. Some
doctors will say that if a person is sub
ject to these headaches there is nothing
that will prevent their recurrence.
Nervous headaches. as well as neural
gia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. Feed the nerves
by furnishing through the blood the
elements which they require and the
cause of these nervous troubles is re-
moved. The onlyway to feed the nerves
is through the blood and it is in this way
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills have &C.
cOmplished so many remarkable cures.
Miss F. Mae Markell. of l03 Huestis
street, Ithaca, n. Y, says: II had ner-
vOus headaches for several years. They
began when l was a student in the high
school. was studying hard, grew pale
and thin and my friends were afraid
was going into a decline. | had no
appetite, my digestion was poor and L
lost in weight. The headaches came on
two on three times a week and some
times every day. They were so severe
that quite often I would have to go to
bed when l came home from school. Ny
blood was III such bad condition that
my hands were covered with n rash.
"OuT family doctor benefited me for az
time. but did not seem able to cure meS
My grandfather told me 30 try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, saying they had helped
him. I found that they were helping
me and took them until cured. When

able TO study and have never had the
headaches since.

In closing, the preamble reads:
IN this battle for freedom the So
cialist party does not strive to substi-
tute working class rule for capitalist
class rule, but to free all humanity
from class rule and to realize the in

San Francisco. May 1.-THE an
nouncement that the armored cruiser
Maryland of the Pacific fleet had been
awarded the target practice trophy for
hrst-class ships brought great joy TO
the sailors on board that vessel. who
impatiently had been awaiting the Of
hcial confirmation OF their belief that
they had fairly won the trophy. in or
der that long planned and elaborat e
celebration might be held. The crui-
sers of the Pacific fleet preceded the
battleships at practice in Magdalena
bay, and after the wonderful record
made by the Maryland it was freely
predicted all along the coast that none
of the heavier ships from the east
would be able to match the scores and
speed attained by the gun crews of the
cruiser.
Two Close Competitors.
When practice of the battleships
had ended. however. il was rumored
that the Illinois had a good chance to
equal the Maryland's record under the
percentage allowance prescribed in
the trophy awards. 1t was also stated
that the Alabama was very close to
the Illinois, although no announce
ment was allowed TO be made by the
officers of the Atlantic fleet
The Illinois has flown the trophy
pennant of red ever since the practice
of a year ago, when she won il with
ease. Both the Illinois and the Ala
bama are equipped with thirteen-inch
guns in their main battery. as again
the twelve-inch guns of the modern
battleships of the Connecticut class.
Many ordnance officers declare the
thirteen-inch rife to be infinitely su-
perior TO the smaller calibre The
largest guns on the Maryland are
eiSht-inch.
II is something OF a disappointment
to the men of the Atlantic fleet that
no vessel among the sixteen on tour of
the world will be able to show the tro-
ply pennant in foreign ports, but they
all acknowledge the splendid record
attained by the Maryland as setting a
new standard in target practice work

they made their departure through the
door by which they entered. il was not
until the saloon was opened yesterday
morning that the crime was discovered.
Deputy Marshal Caldwell arrested two
men who had for several days been lott
ering about Murray, but as no evidence
could be found to connect them with the
saloon robbery, they were released and
ordered to leave Murray.
