smaller than she was.
She next tried the Big

as she had expected, it
was too big. She was
lost in it.
There was no choice

chairs was limited, and

Suffering Described As Torture
 Relieved by Black-Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oi this place, writes: "My husband is ar engineer, and once while lifting, he in- iured himself with piece of heavy ma chinery, across the abdomen He was SO sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs., and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked ike he would die We had three different doctors, yet wiih all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered SO. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Homer Clark, son of Attorney and Mrs. F. s. Clark of this city, has written his parents of the scenes of wild hilarity which were enacted in San Francisco on the night of Mon day, Nov. 1lth, upon the receipt of the news that peace had come. Ac- cording to Homer, who is in the United States naval service, the .outhful tars were showered with kisses n everything by the joyous young ladies of the Bay City. His letter, in part. :s as follow:
 Well, the 11th of November was I big day. The largest I have ever seen or will sec We had just come in off duty, Bert and I, when the whistles of all the boats in the bay started to toot. We thought it was a big fire and edged forth with our guns on. We soon found out what had happened and within an hour the city was a conglomerate mass of bells, whistles, yells and horns Peo- pie were hysterical, some crying. some laughing, while even some knclt in silent prayer on the side walks It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen. All night ii continued, each one having a differ ent idea of method of celebration. MI the next day and night of the llth was a big carnival.
 Everyone was crazy about the sailors. and if had a dollar for every kiss I got that night I'd have a big tax on income They fought over us. My clothes were torn and ripped and everyone wanted a token of our uniform as souvenir. We'll from the looks of me I must have furnish ed all the souvenirs in the city. I lost lily neckchief. had my clothes torn and buttons pulled off I managed 10 retain my shoes as I guess they thought that taking my shoes would be going a little bit strong. We'll I had a good time and SO did hey. Market street was impossible, filed full of people having the big yest time in history t was a great | tight and far surpassed the famous New Years celebration.
