Napoleon's Last Hope Crushed.

One hundred years ago Napoleon,
surrounded by few Of his marshals
who still remained faithful, was in bit.
ter meditation at Fontainebleau. Ap-
parently he realized for the first time
that detection and opposition were
getting too strong for him. When he
learned that the allies had captured
Paris he gave way to the whole fury Of
his Corsican temperament. But his
indomitable spirit was not yet crushed.
Despite the discouraging outlook he
nourished a faint hope that he might
recapture the city and regain his
throne. To gain time to work out his
plans he sent two Of his marshals with
an offer to abdicate in favor Of his
son, the young king Of Rome. This
offer was rejected without ceremony
by the allied sovereigns, who had al
ready agreed upon the restoration OF
the Bourbons.

recent troubles, Mrs. Bessie E. Bruce,
Of this town, says: "After childbirth,

suffered, no one knows.
was told that I would have to go
through an operation, but at the time
of the operation, I was too weak to
undergo it, and decided there was no
chance for me.
AS last resort, my mother advised
me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic,
and my husband bought me a bottle.
I could tell from the first that 1t was
doing me good, and by the time I had
taken the first bottle, could stand on
my feet. got another bottle, and
before I had taken it up, I was just
about well. The pains all stopped,
and in a short while I was able to do
my work.
I know that Cardui saved my life,
and I would not be without it in the
house. I almost waited too long, and
I advise all suffering women not to
wait, but to begin taking Cardui at
once"

AFRICA YIELDS OLDEST MAN
Skeleton Hundreds Of Thousands Of
Years Old Found In Desert In
German Section.

Berlin.-That highly-deVeloped hu-
man race inhabited Africa many hun
dreds of thousands Of years ago is
shown, according to DR.. Hans Rock,
professor Of paleontology of Berlin, by
the discovery Of a perfectly preserved
fossil human skeleton in the desert
Of German East Africa.
The skeleton was extracted from
diluvial strata in dry and desert
canyon, once apparently fertile,
equatorial swamp. The fossil is one
Of the most remarkable in existence,
being quite perfect in teeth, skull
ribs, breastbone and extremities, de-
spite it's incalculable age proved by
fossils Of extinct animals which sur
rounded it. The skeleton shows few
signs of "undeveloped" humanity.
cat this geological epoch a very
highly developed human race inhab-
tied the African continent" declares
the doctor. "The fossil was found
in tufa limestone, and must have
been deposited there when the exist
ing desert was equatorial swamp;
that is, at the period when central
Europe was passing through the gla-
cial epoch
The same tufa excavations revealed
monstrous elephants, hippopotomi,
rhinoceros, gigantic apes and many
other animals either extinct or degen-
Grated. The skeleton is believed to be
much nearer than anything yet dis
covered to the original foundation Of
the human race.

First to Use Sewing Machine.

There, you are the first woman in

IN Elias Howe's inventive work. She

and the corruption looked like thick
matter, kind Of a yellow color. The
sores itched so badly until it seemed
to me she would scratch herself to
pieces and then a sore would form
and her clothes would stick to her
body and pull off the little scab. In
some places she would scratch and
irritate the sores until they seemed
to be large. She was affected about
year.
