So Overwhelming has been the de-
struction of the humming birds in the

that certain species with restricted
habitat have been swept out of exist

point of determination.
To show that the same slaughter is
being carried out all over the world
Mr.. auckland has made extracts from
an official report from the United
States Inspector of Birds and Ami,

lished by the United States govern

Mr.. j. H. Crowley, a painter ard

the following experience which others
will find OF interest:
Through irregular hours for eating

sour for days after these headaches and
] would have great deal of pain
through it, 1t felt as though nv stomach
was on fire and there was weight in
it, / was troubled some with gas and
was constipated all OF the time.
The doctor treated me for stomach
trouble but gave me only temporary
relief. became discouraged with his
treatment and began using DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. My improvement
was noticeable in a few days. was
soon relieved Of the sourness on my
stomach and had no more bilious at
tacks. ,continued using the pills until
cured. have not been troubled with

from stomach trouble, if DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are given fair trial.
AZ rule sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours, sometimes DAYS, in
advance, when the headache is coming
on. This fact makes it possible to use

an attack is discovered, to eliminate
the poison from the system and prevent
the attack or in great measure tomod-
crate its severity A new laxative,
PINKaErs, designed to be used in con-

A Good Uncle Toms Cabin.

A theatrical season in Keokuk is
never complete without at least two
calls from Uncle Toms Cabin COM
panies. Stetson's production of the
old southern plantation story which
has come down thro' the ages, was
entertaining with its bevies of "darky'
girls and black bucks" last night.
With score OF novelty turns, includ-
ing cake walks of amusing and
smile provoking features by quar-
tet of funny couples, clog and buck
and wing dancing, drove away the
feeling of depression that prevails
during the death of little Eva and
Uncle Tom. The voices o. the colored
singers and the performance of the
two Marks were unusually good and
the large house evinced more than
ordinary interest in the pray.

yes that her husbands love for her is
waning, and in hope of regaining his
affections, she seeks an artist to paint
a portrait of her baby, who has died
She hopes that when her husband sees
the life-like image of his child, whom
he dearly loved, his old love for her
will return.
She visits the studio of "the other
woman and states her desire for the
painting. not knowing that the artist
is her rival for her husbands affec-
tions. During the visit she confides
her reasons for wanting the picture
and leaves for the artist locket con-
tanning portrait of her child. She
also leaves her card which passes
unnoticed. Shortly after she leaves
the studio, the husband arrives and
obtains promise from "the other
woman" to elope with him the next
day. The portrait cannot be painted,
of course, and when 1.-The other wom-
an" sees the visiting card and thus
knows for whom the picture was in
tended, she Immediately decides to
notify the wife Of her inability to
finish the painting.
During her visit to the wife, the
husband enters and. in the presence
of "the other woman renounces his
wife, and his desire for a separation.
1.-THE Other Woman" leaves her iden-
tity unknown to the wife, and takes
her leave, the husband following. "The
other woman" however, is on the rack
between love and duty and duty wins,
but not without fervid pleadings on
the husbands part to the "other
woman" A reconciliation follows
between husband and wife.
