EVEN CLOWNS SAD NOW.

Chicago, Feb. 2L-Even the clowns are
sad these days. More in sorrow than in
laughter they hang an inflated bladder
across the brow of their partners.
And the clowns are not clowns at all.

door ShOwmen's League in the congress
gold room there arose a wall that the
day OF the good clown seems to be past.

TO WELCOME women
IN INAUGURAL PARADE
All May March Who Will, Says Col
Harper.

Col. Robert n. Harper. chairman of
the Inaugural Committee. last night cor
rected the erroneous impression that no
women would be allowed in the inaugu-
raj parade.
He declared the committee Is anxious
TO have as many women march as desire
TO do so, but explained that they will be
required to have some uniformity of
dress, and that they are supposed to IN
form the Inaugural Committee as to how
many will be in line and if they will have
music.
Col. Harper said the same requirements
are demanded from all men going into
the parade. He emphasized the impor-
tance of the resolution passed by the
committee which requests every man,
woman, and child who will be in the re-
viewing stands to carry American flags.

FIREMANS Wife
HAD OPERATION
Had Very Bad Stomach One
Doctor Said tuberculosis.
Takes Dreco and Gives
All Praise to 1t for
Her Recovery.

Il am always glad to give credit
where credit belongs said Mr. c. T
Hurst. the popular fireman of the
Eighth street company. who resides
at 1909 North Capitol street, Wash
ington, d. c.
My wife has been sick for a long
time. in fact she was almost an in
valid and 1 had spent about all l
could make on doctor bills, nurses
hospital bills and medicines and still
she did not get well. One doctor said
she had tuberculosis, but she was
finally sent to the hospital and oper-
ated on for stomach trouble. She came
back no better than when she went
there
"She suffered very much with gas on
her stomach and no matter how care
full she was of her diet, this gas al
ways followed a meal together with
pains in her back and limbs. She
was very nervous and fell off to 127
pounds. Sometimes she would get
dizzy spells and have spots dancing
before her eyes. and a bad taste in
her mouth. She was so nervous that
sleep was almost impossible.
Reading so much in the papers
about Dreco I decided to get a bottle
for her, and she began to improve
before she had finished it, She has
now taken SIX DOttleS In all, and really
all her troubles are gone and Dreco
has done more for her than every
thing else put together. She has gain
ed in weight from 127 pounds to 149
pounds, sleeps fine. the dizziness and
spots before her eyes are all gone.
also the constipation and gas in her
stomach. Her appetite is fine and she
never has the pains after meals. I
only wish 1 had known of Dreco be-
fore I had spent so much money on
the others. Dreco fixed her up and l
don't mind giving 1t all the credit
due It."
Hardly a day passes but that some
person speaks of the wonderful results
obtained by taking this modern sys-
tenn tonic made from the juices of
roots. herbs, barks and leaves of me-
diCinal plants. Dreco is sold and rec
ommended by all the ODonnell Drug
Stores. by Allen g. Co. in Alexandria.

A Real American

Mark Twain was a steamboat pilot. He
was a searCher for gold in the far west He
was printer. He worked bitterly hard.
All this without a glimner OF the great
destiny that lay before him.
Then, with the opening OF the great wide
West, his genius bloOmed.
His fame spread through the nation. Il
few to the ends OF the earth, until his work
was translated INTO strange tongues. From
then on. the path Of lame lay straight to
the high places. At the height Of his
fame he lost all his money. He was hesv-
lily in debt. but though 90 years old, he
started afrcsh and paid every cent. II was
the last heroic touch that drew him close
to the hearts Of his countrymen.
The world has asked Is there an Ameri-
can lteraturcl Mark Twain is the answer.
He is the heart. the spirit Of America. From
his poor and struggling boyhood to his CloTi-
oUs. splendid old age, he remained as simple,
as democratic as the plainest OF our fore
fathers.
He was. OF all Americans, the most Anei-
can. Free in soul, and dreaming OF high
things-brave in the face Of trouble-snd
always ready to laugh. That was Marx
Twain.
