A Subtle Plea.

An old negro was brought before
a justice in Dover. 1t seemed that
Uncle Nose had fallen foul of a
bulldog while in the act of enter

Took here, Uncle Nose" the
justice said, "didn't give you ten
days last month for this same
thing? Wasn't it the same hen
house you were trying to get in?
What have you to say for your
self?"
Uncle Nose scratched his head.

Women Who Wear We'll.

1t is astonishing how great change
a few years of married life often make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only a dim
shadow, a fart echo of the charming
maiden. Fewl'oung women appreciate
the shock of tie system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of its freshness and the form of
its fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
ofthe delicate womanly organs, SO surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness.
More than million women have found
health and happiness in the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Itmakes
weak women strong and sick women
well. Ingredients on label-contains
no alcohol or harmful habit-forming
drugs. 1t is made wholly of those
native, American, medicinal roots most
highly recommended by leading med
ical authorities of all the several schools
OF practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those
broken-down in health by too frequent
bearing of children, also for the expect
ant mothers, to prepare the system for
the coming of baby and make its adj |
vent easy and almost painless, there is
no medicine quite so good as "Favorite
Prescription" 1t can do no harm in
any condition of the system. 1t is a
most potent invigorating tonic and
strengthening nervine, nicely adapted
to woman's delicate system by a ply
stefan of large experience in the treat
ment of woman's peculiar ailments.

seem falling asleep in a half dream!
But certainly the garden spot Of
the modern world is in the Missis-
sippi valley, with its sun kissed
mountains and broad, rolling prai-
ries; the paradise of the twentieth
century civilization there in our
magnificent, fertile and majestic
Missouri, with her blue sky, her pei
lucid streams, her balmy air, her gor-
geous sunsets and her everlasting
hills. We may visit the famed gal
leries of the world and feast our
aesthetic tastes upon the master
pieces of Raphael, Rembrandt and
Angelo, Reynolds and Van Dyck, but
no painters brush ever has or ever
can produce on canvas half the glo-
ry and majesty and sublimity of an
autumn sunset in the Ozark hills,
with the golden sunlight gliding
the treetops and throwing over and
about the yariegated foliage its soft
and mellow radiance.
Beethoven and Mozart, Mendels-
sohn and Handel and Wagner have
poured forth a food of melody and
harmony which will delight the
ears Of mankind while civilization
lasts, but it can never inspire that
feeling of buoyancy and exhilara-
ton, that bubbling JOY and glad
ness, which is felt by the barefoot
boy as he listens to the morning
song of the hooking bird, the robin
and the lark as they fit from limb
to limb, while the sunlight glistens
on the dew and the very air he
breathes is full of life and glad
ness.-From Speech of Robert La
mar of Missouri in House of Repre-
sentatiyes.

A SUBTLE LETTER.
The Boy Knew Just How to Rouse His
Mothers Sympathy.

my son certainly does know
how to get around his mother
said a wealthy merchant at his club
recently. ''That boy of mine is a
fire fellow, but he has such queer
ideas. He writes verses and little
sketches, or whatever you call them,
and is furious because | want him
to be an attorney.
"a few weeks ago he and | had a
talk about his future. Father he
said, Just give me my fare west
and | will get position on a news
paper out there and make you
proud of me, but it would be SO
awfully dull to be only a Boston
lawyer
"Well, I bought him a ticket to
San Francisco and gave him $25
for pocket money. He had been
mollycoddled quite a lot and made
to think he was a genius, and l
knew to get out and rustic would
be the best thing for him.
81 arranged through a western
friend of mine to see that the
youngster did not starve to death,
and | awaited developments. He
did not write for money, and |
learned through a friend, corrobo-
rated by letter the boy wrote to
my wife, that he was earning So a
week.
"But that youngster will make a
good lawyer just the same. You
ought to see the last letter he sent
to his mother. After reading it
she wired him $50 as soon as she
could get to the telegraph office.
She never said a word to me until
afterward.
Here is his letter:
Dear Mother-I have not written to
you for quite awhile. I have been so
busy. / seldom get TO bed before mid
night. and ] am usually too tired to
write. There IL an awfully nice lot OF
boys on this paper. and we are trying 10
save money. ! am writing this in my
bathrobe because ] pawned my best suit
TO pay my room rent. and the landlady Is
pressing the other. sold the rest OF my
clothes. as fellow only needs two suits.
| think father was SO wise TO decide
must shift for myself. II was the best
thing. and am doing splendidly. Before
this ] never thought I could live on the
Good / eat now. but Il seems TO nourish
me. / had rolls and coffee for breakfast.
and ! ind ! do not need any luncheon.
Then have discovered a place-and II Is
quite clean-where for dinner I can get
beans and coffee or a stew and coffee for
10 cents. ! do not mind bit about the
kind Of people who eat there. They are
just as good as am. hardly ever have
TO 90 to bed hungry. Lovingly.
YOUR BOY.
''Do you wonder my wife hurried
downtown to telegraph $50? | am
going to send for that son of mine
to come home. / may be able to do
something with him after all."-

WELL BALANCED TICKET.

The details of the Republican con-
vention contained in the latest
mail files show that the Taft and
Sherman ticket is very well balanced.
Taft personifies the Roosevelt poll
cies and Mr.. Sherman, while in no
sense reactionary, is looked upon
as representing the Congressional
forces lately grouped under the term
of 1.-The Allies"
The country has received the tick
ct and the platform with an enthu-
siasm that is as perfect guarantee
of victory as could be had.
The Republican party is keeping
true to its record OF moving steadily
forward, neither reaCtionary nor ruiz
nously radical, in touch with the
people, and working out a progress
i've government of, by, and for the
people.
In connection with the convention
results, it is pleasing to note that the
Hawaii delegation has thrown its in

such limited information as he has
been able to secure. He knows what
we all know: that the public lands
should be placed as speedily rs pos
sible in the hands of Independent
holders who will cultivate their prop
erty and stay with It. Speculative
land settlers are not Americanizers.
To reach the goal by one leap is to
expect not the impossible, but at
least the improbable.
We are convinced that Hawaii will
have an especially good friend in the
Cabinet while Mr.. Garfield remains
in his present Office. This does not
mean that this Territory will gain
anything at the expense of any
mainland State, Territory, or inter-
est. All that comes to us from a
Federal department or through Con-
gress is merely part of the atten-
ton deserved in developing this i'm
portant outpost in manner to best
serve National demands.
Should Mr.. Garfield retire to pri-
vate life after the Inauguration of
Mr.. Taft, the leaven will not cease to
work for the upbuilding Of Hawaii,
for we shall still have very ener-
getic American interested in the
cause of Hawaii and its American
future.

BLANCHE ARRAL

During her Eastern trip the in
terest excited among musical people
who only cared for the music was
almost equaled by the admiration of
a certain part of her audiences who
became enamored with her beautiful
costumes. The beautiful gowns are
all creations of the first firms of
Paris--Worth and Paquin--and IL
takes 20 trunks to carry the enor-
nous wardrobe. Whenever possible,
Madame Arral dresses the part, |. e.,
adopts the costume to the particular
song she is singing and this dressing
is not superficial but complete, in
volving complete change from head
to foot These little attentions to
dress the audiences are not slow to
appreciate and the dressing of this
artistic has become almost as famous
as her singing. She will appear at
the Hawaiian Opera House tomorrow
night, where she will sing for the
first time to Honolulu audience.
The seats are for sale at Wall. Mich
