m
An lrt iirci'r ut Short,
Tho blshon of Htopncy tolls a story of
his eurly youth. The first Idea was that
ho should follow art as a career, and he
accordingly became a student nt an art
school; but circumstances over which ho
had some control prevented him from
over becoming famous as a painter. Ono
day he was discovered In the act of pin
ning u card on his master's coat-tall, and
was accordingly dismissed. This was
I fifty-three years ago.
Religions
Neufc.
Inquiry among a number of tho
promltfent clergymen of the city re
garding tho advisnblllty of holding a
big genernl revival such as have per
iodically been a feature In other years
seems to Indicate that such a move
ment would scarcely be looked upon
with favor this season. While the re
sults of those In the past are not criti
cised In any way, the pastors In gen
eral approve rather of earnest Indiv
idual effort In their own churches.
They believe that a great spiritual
movement was never so much needed
In this city as at the present, when open
desecration of the Sabbath and flag
rant Immorality are practically un
checked, but the Idea of a concentrat
ed effort such as was made In connec
tion with the meetings led by B. Fay
Mills, Mr. Moody anl the Mr. Yatman,
has not received especial attention,
That these movements still hold a
wonderful sway over nil classes des
pite tho materialistic thought of to
day, the hurry and rush of tho struggle
for life In the great business centres
Is evinced by the phenomenal Interest
now being awakened In New York city
under tho eloquent simplicity of Mr.
Moody's preaching. In many other
portions of the country a spiritual
arousing is noted. Mr. Yatman Is
meeting with great success In Wllkes
Barre, while In tho East different evan
gelists have recorded remarkable
awakening in the churches.
Tomorrow will be mnrked as a spe
clat Sabbath In the Providence Pres
byterian church, because of the two

there will be tho reception of new
members, Including persons of foreign
tongues to whom Rev. Mr. John
Klusoe will translate the averment
vows and a brief address by the pastor,
Rev. George .E. Guild. Mr. Klusoe Is
the missionary of the Green Ridge
and Providence Presbyterian churches
among foreign speaking people. The
Tho service promises to be a fitting
and Impressive conclusion to the deep
ly Interesting and well attended spe
cial services of the past two weeks In
the Providence church. Tho evening
hour of worship will be a Sabbath
evening of praise, led by the choir. Be
side the devotional services gospel
hymns will be sung by the congrega
tion and the choir will repeat selec

Mr. Dockery makes suggestions nnd loafs

Times, he corrected an announcement
made by the speaker, und tho correction
was gracefully received.
Tho other day there was a sharp little
tilt between Mr, Barrett and tho speaker,
Mr. Iteed was ut great pains to mako
Ills ruling clear, but Mr. Barrett insisted
that a clear interpretation of the EnglUh
language showed the speaker to bo
wrong.
"The interpretation may not be correct,
but the Iioubo has thought it correbt for
a long time."
By this lime Mr. Dockery was leaning
on the side of the speaker's desk.
"That was right, wasn't it, Dockery?"
whispered the sneaker.
"Most assuredly," said the Missouri
man, und business proceeded.
WHAT WOMEN NOW NEED
More Red Corpuscles in Their Blood.
Paine's Celery Compound.
Miss Frances E. Willard, who has
been attending1 the world's convention
of the W. C. T. U., says that better
health for women Is today a more ur
gent matter than woman's suffrage.
She says: "What women at pres
ent need is a better supply of red cor
puscles." From every section of the country,
from Maine to California, come well
attested reports of women, bloodless,
dyspeptic, nervous, seriously run down,
and in many enses so weak as to be
bed-ridden, who have been enabled to
resume their places In the family cir
cle and In social life healthy, ruddy,
well-cured women, by the aid of that
grent blood-maker and health-maker,
Paine's celery compound.
Mrs. E. A. Ward Is one of those for
tunate women whom Paine's celary
compound has saved from an nlllng,
unhappy Invalid condition, as her let
ter shows:
213 Michigan ave Mnson City, la.
Sept. 12, 1897.
Wells & Richardson Co.:
Gentlemen My greatest trouble
seemed to be a general weakness and
all-over tired feeling. I am 66 years
of aso and I did not expect to bo ever
strong aealn, but I used four bottles
of Paine's celery compound und was
greatly strengthened, nnd my cough
seemed better so that I stopped using
the remedy and have not since felt tho
need of any further help whatever.
Very respectfully yours,
MRS. E. A. WARD.
Persons of lurse experience among
nervous women who, as a rule, aro
thin nnd lack blood, recommend Palno's
celery compound as beyond all ques
Qui
WomniaiHi5
Despite periodical cries of danger on
account of the new woman, the ad
vance in equal suffrage and various
other innovations it remains a fact
that American women ore not cutting
the llgure In politics which for many
years has been prophesied as the cal
amity of the century. We are drawing
close to the end of this period nnd as
yet mo3t of the foolish things done In
politics havo been the work of men,
who to Judge from results have not
been guided even by women's opinions.
It Is probably this reason that the an
tics of Mrs. Griffith in Oh'io, have at
tracted such wide spread attention.
But even in this case, her vacillation
has scarcely equaled that of Mr. Grif
fith. Ths only cause for : egret in the
matter 's that she wns not kldnauDed
at an earlier stage of the game be
fore she had opportunity to 'make such
a goose of herself and her hubbnnd.
There are those who declare that
notwithstanding her political proclivi
ties, she had enough feminine vanity
to quite enjoy finding herself a factor
In a great crisis, and to havo her fntr
face and pietty hats described in the
metropolitan papers.
To tell the truth the excitement and
tho glory of a political career could
hardly recompense the average woman
for the losses sho would suffer from
lack of time to devote to teas and
luncheons where tho pretty frocks of
other women could bo examined at
shorter range than from tho platform
at mass meetings and caucuses. I
have no doubt in the world that tho
dress question will enter largely into
tho calculation of even the most ad
vanced women If ever they do get the
ballot, for laugh at the sex) as you
will, becauso of Its frivolity and devo
tion to fashions and fads, yet tho well
gowned suitably gowned woman pos
sesses a great advantage over the one
who appears in public In unattractive,
dowdy army.
It Isn't a dlrgrace to upend much time
and thought on dress if ono lias the
time to spare und the thojght whlqh
v.ill produce pl?aslng results, and for
tunately the majority of women know
that neither politics, questions of state,
Intellectual pursuits or any other great
Interest will be able to entirely divert
tho attention of the sex from tho Idea
of making the most of personal ap
pearance. Tho prophets who foreseo a
perenlon of the charms of femininity
In the advent of advanced thought for
women are a far cry from the truth.
Tho great women, tho leaders, tho ones
who mako the sex adored and admired
will continue to wear frills and look
dainty and sweet and fair. Women
w-ouldn't adopt the horrible bloomer
style. They wouldn't bo driven In this
ago to wear disfiguring hoop Bklrts nnd
monstrosities in the way of bustles nnd
ful'se hair. Th'ey are too sensible, too
tion the ono remedy that can bo de
ponded on to renew tho vitality of!
feeble persons.
This settled confidence In Paine's)
celery compound is not a hearsay be
lief, but rests In nearly every caso
on personal use or acquaintance with
men or women who have been restored
to useful health by no other means.
The rapid change for the better In
color, flesh and expression of the face
is so unmistakable that repair of tho
wasted tissues might well be called a
renewal of life.
The process by which Paine's celery
compound Is able to build up health In
the run-down body is not hard to un
derstand when one observes how sure
ly It disposes the bowels to act regu
larly, how it Increases the capacity to
take and assimilate food, and regu
lates the nerves all over the body.
Tho heavy, alarming pain -In the back
and loins disappears; the growing
paleness und loss of flesh Is stopped
and a bright, buoyant feeling grad
ually takes the place of that unending;
sense of tire and depression.
Paine's celery compound Is the ex
act remedy for that largo class of fee
ble, thin-blooded, often hysterical per
sons whose greatest need Is a thorough
refurnishing of their blood with the
red corpuscles upon which health and
happiness in such large measure de
pend. The extraordinary virtue of Paine's
celery compound to Increase the pro
portion of red corpuscles in tho blood
Is the source of Its great power over
all blood diseases, rheumatism, neu
ralgia, kidney diseases, back aches,
loss of llesh and general run-down '
condition.

Many progressive New York women
are formed Into an organization known
as the Society for Political Study. This
week they held a meeting, wore their
prettiest clothes, had a nice programme
whether Henry George ivtw on tho right
about almost everything but politics
and then went home saying "What a
lovely meeting we had!" Occasionally,
to bo sure, they try to find out what
was John Stuart Mill's little trame or
whether Henry George was) on the
track but their skirt bindings aro
Immaculate and th'ey have a due re
gard for their veils and chiffons. Yet
the membership of this society repre
sents the most advanced thought of th'a
sex in this country.
Last week in this column was men
tioned a few trifling Incidents to show
that men are Just as subject to whims
and vngarles as aro tho women they
often ridicule. Here is another Illus
tration of what Is supposed to be ex
clusively a feminine trait but which
once In a while crops out In mankind
to nn abnormal degree. Frequently all
required Is tho opportunity. A Scran
ton woman, generally interested in tho
live topics of tho day, on one occasion
mot a famous politician, with whom
she enjoyed a pleasant chat during"
lunch. He wis a very good looking1
man and had a manner, to match his
appearance. After his departure the
other men In tli'o vicinity who knew
that she had bejn In conversation with
the statesman In question, each separ
atsly and individually took tho trouble
to enlighten her regarding the person
nil ty of the absent ono to the extent
of telling her that he wore a wig.
"Dear me!" sjw exclaimed impatient
ly, after hearing the fifth Informai't's
tali?, "You are all worse tliun a parcel
of women. I didn't want to know that
Mr. X. Is so frivol'ws as to 'wear a
wig. I thought he looked very young;
nnd handsome. I'd have ureforrcd to
consider Mr. N. superior to sensitive
ness about his personal appearance,
but sineo you are determined tbut lla
littlo weakness shall 'be inn le kiuyn,
I don't suppos-o many people are de
ceived by him, not at least If von
can help it. Talk about women belns
Ill-natured In their speech uf each oth

ing a stranger th'ut one vf our number
painted her Up. or darkened Her eye
brow, or wore false teeth. We'd let
the stranger find out for herself, she'd
do It fooii enough, and nho wouldn't
hu'e the1 opportunity of going to tho
victim 'and telling her that we gave her
away. For pity's sake don't talk to
me any moro about the General's
wig!" Saucy Bess.
