Just as we expected, Carrie Nation called on Judge Taft at his office last on the liquor question. MT. Bryan will do well to watch out for her or she'll try to do him up next. She didn't exhibit her hatchet to Taft. but prob ably had it in her hip pocket ready to use if he gave her any back talk which he didn't by the way.

SCHOOL GIRLS

Most of our ambitious young American girls work too hard at school.
 Many teachers have little or no judgment about pushing a child beyond her endurance. They ought to know that girls especially have a danger period Often, too often, utter physical collapse is the result, and it takes years and years to recover lost vitality.
 Many a young girl has been helped over this critical period, ,and been. pre- pared for a healthy womanhood by LYDIA E. PINkHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND
 Miss Elsie L. Hook, of Chelsea, Vt, writes to Mrs. Pinkhann:
 .I am only sixteen years old, but want to tell you that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound and your advice cured me of sideache, periodic pains and sleeplessness, also of . ner- thing else had failed, and 1 want to thank you for it."
 FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. ii For thirty years Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displaeements, inflammation, ulcera- ton, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion, dizziness, or nervous prostrati0n. Why don't you try it2
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. S6.trsss- Lynn, Mass.

PREFER GHOST STORIES.
Professional Story Teller Finds Chill
dren Like Wierd Tales the Best.

Take 80 innocent, wide-eyed school
children between the ages of eight
and 10, get them comfortably seated
before a fireplace in the Carnegie Ii
brary building, let them know that
you are about to tell them a story
and then ask them casually what sort
of tale they will have, says the
Walla Walla Union. Do you suppose
they will call for the experience of
the Little Lord Fauntleroy youth who
never disobeyed his parents and earn
ed some fabulous reward for his sac
rifice or about Indians or bears Z?
Not a bit of it? =.
Every hand will go up and every
vote will be cast for ghosts Not for
the ordinary graveyard article, mind
you, that goes prowling aimlessly
about with no particular object, but
for the super-mundane relic of a
murder or other unpleasantry, who
is trailing the guilty party with a
dagger of material mundane manu-
facture, They will call for story
that has shiver In every sentence
and a quake in every paragraph, with
few horrors interspersed. They
want tale that will keep them awake
until late into the night and charge
their sleep with Nightmares. Then
they are satisfied.
This propensity of the youngsters
was discovered last Friday by Mrs.
Josephine Preston, deputy county SUI
perintendent, during the story telling
hour that she conducted.

ped Off.
A lieutenant attached to one oi
the eastern forts gained a reputation
for his unlimited betting on the
slightest provocation. 1t was but a
short time before he had nearly
cleaned out the members of the COM
pany to which he was attached. says
the New York Times. 1t was, there
fore with some relief that the mem
bers and officers saw him transfer
red to Kansas.
But the day before his arrival the
colonel of the eastern fort wrote to
his friend, the colonel of the Kansas
fort OF the reputation and sharpness
OF the betting lieutenant, so that the
western contingent was fully aware
of what was coming. Upon the day
of his arrival he was cordially greet
ed and the colonel remarked: 81

reputation for betting in the east"
The lieutenant tried to belittle the
statement, but as he colonel got in.
sistent for details, the lieutenant
said I'm bet you $50 that you
have got something on your back"
The colonel denied having anything
on his back except his uniform. The
lieutenant said: "Tn bet you $50 you
have got two big red spots on your
back, near the shoulder blade"
The colonel took him up quickly.
The money was put in the hands
of a brother officer. The lieutenant
said that the colonel should strip to
prove who was the winner, so off
came the uniform, even to the shirt
There was nothing on the coloners
back. and so the bet was lost by the
lieutenant. who remarked, "Well. I
lost that somehow" The colonel was
tlckled not little, and the same night
wrote his eastern colonel friend of
the circumstance. Much to his sur
prise within the week to receive a
brief letter, somewhat as follows
Dear Colonel: That scamp of
