And cheerful in his presence, and he does
not realize that anything is wrong If he
had but come home during the middle of
the day. he would have found, instead of
the cheerful wife, a weak, sickly, nervous
invalid, with headache, pains in the back,
"stitches" in the side, burning and drag
ging down sensations and utter despond
ency and melancholy.
In almost every case of this kind the
woman is really suffering from weaknesa
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
ganism. Frequently she does not realize
her own condition. If she does, she
shrinks from undergoing the " examina
tions" and "local treatments" insisted
upon by the average physician. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the medi
cine needed by women who suffer in this
way. It acts directly on the sensitive or
gans concerned and makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. It allays inflamma
tion, heals ulceration, soothes pain and
tones and builds up the shattered nerves.
It transforms weak, sickly, nervous, de
spondent invalids into happy, healthy wives
and competent mothers. It fits for wife
hood ana motherhood. It makes "exam
inations" unnecessary. Honest dealers do
not suggest substitutes for a little added
profit to t«- realized thereon.
"I had suffered untold misery for years with
ovarian trouble, an exhausting drain, constipa
tion. painful periods and other annoying troub
les," writes Mrs. Annie James, of No. 27 Seventh

God. ray health has been fully restored and I
can glaaly say I atn a well woman to-day. I used
six battles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

THE CITIZEN.
THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.
What One See» Who in Tills
Visits the Most Historic Spot
in Judea.
Many a
husband im
agines that
his wife il
happy,
J. James Tissot, the great French
artist, who has made the remarkable
Illustrations for the "Life of Christ,"
writes of "Christmas at Bethlehem " in
Century:
"The town of Bethlehem is shaped
in the form of a crescent, descen<ling,
terrace by terrace, the side of the hill
on which it is built. On one of these
terraces are grouped the massive build
ings of tbe Latin and Greek converfts,
between which stands the basilica,
charming the eye by the peculiar grace
of its lines. All the houses are dis
tinctly Jewish in appearance, with flat
roofs capped by cupolas, and many of
them have pointed archways which offer
pleasant places for repose in hours of
sun or shade.
"This creeping of the houses down
into the very gardens of the valley
heightens wonderfully the beauty of
the landscape; while in the background,
toward the Dead sea, the mountains of
Moab tower majestically above the gen
tle undulations of hill and vale. Every
feature of this never-to-be-forgotten
scene is full of sacred significance. In
front of the city you are shown the field
where Ruth and Boaz met, and near by
is the spot where the shepherds were
told of our Saviour's birth. At a point
still nearer the crescent-shaped city is
the well from which David so desired
drink after doing battle. A little far
ther on, and quite by itself, is the tomb
of Rachel, beyond which are other
battle fields mentioned in the Bible.'
SQUAW MEN OUSTED
The Government DI»po«»e»»e« 20,000
Families In the Indian
Territory.
In 1895, Henry L. Dawes, for many
years one of the United States senators
from Massachusetts, was appointed
chairman of a commission created by
congress to endeavor to secure from the
five civilized tribes of Indians, in Indian
territory, their voluntary assent to the
abandonment of tribal relations.
After the commission found that local
causes had defeated its object, congress
authorized it to make a census of the
tribes, ascertain who were and who
were not citizens, and suggest a plan for
the division of the lands of the Indians
among those who were found to be citi
zens.
Under the last authority the commis
sion has issued orders that all inter
married white men were intruders and
would have to leave the territory. This
means that fully 20,000 white, or
"squaw," men who have married into
these tribes must leave their families,
possessions and business interests, and
»eek homes elsewhere.
Tribal custom, if not law, has recog
nized the white man who married an In
dian woman as an equal Indian citizen,
and, hence, eligible to acquire property.
These "squaw men" have settled the
greater part of the best lands, are fa
thers of nearly 50,000 half-blood chil
dren, and now declare they will not sur
jender their acquired rights.
TESTING THE QUALITY OF AIR.
An Idea a» to It* Pnrlty May lie De
rived by l'*lnn Smoke or
Peppermint.
Once a year it> quite often enough to
have the plumbing tested for the escape
of sewer gas. There are two methods
of doing this—the peppermint test and
smoke test. The latter, says a Chicago
exchange, is regarded as the most ab
solute, though both are used. When
such a test is made the regular escapes
for the water are plugged up and smoke
is pumped into the pipes from the roof.
For this purpose there is a special ma
chine which combines a furnace and a
force pump. In the little furnace are
put old rags or discarded Christmas
trees, or anything which will make a
fine smudge. As soon as these are in
good smoking condition the smudge is
forced down into the pipe and a tour
of examination is made. If the smoke
escapes at any point it can be detected
at once.
The peppermint tost is made from
the roof alio. The escapes are plumped
up and then about a pint of peppermint
oil is poured in the roof pipe, followed
by a bucket of hot water. The odor of
the peppermint is so penetrating that
jt will quickly escape at any defective
spot. But the man who handles the
peppermint has to stay on the roof un
til the examination is complete or the
whole house will be permeated with the
odor.
A REAL FORTRESS.
The HuuUn Monuntrry of SuloveHk,
In A.rchunifi-1, la Well
Protected.
The monastery of Solovets'k, in Arch*
angel, Russia, is inclosed on every side
by a wall of granite bowlders, measur
ing nearly a mile in circumference, and
is the best protected in the world. The
monastery itself is very strongly forti
fied, being supported by round and
square towers about 30 feet in height
with walls 20 feet in thickness. The
monastery consists in reality of six
ehurches, which are completely tilled
with statues of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the towers
surrounding these churches are mount
ed huge guns, which in the time of the
Crimean war were directed against th>*
British White sen squadron. The monks
■who inhabited the monastery at that
time marched in procession on the
granite walls while the shells were fly
ing over their head*, to prove how little
they feared the attack of the British
fleet. Ten thousand pilgrims come an
nually to Solovetsk from all parts of
Russia to view the churches' J.nd the
r?'ics. They are conveyed in steamer*
commanded and manned solely l»J
monks.

A LITTLE GIRL'S LETTER.
Written to the l»re»ldrnt Secured
Her Hrother's Discharge
fro 111 the Arnay.
In the little village of Salem, in south
:rn Illinois, lives, in a small cottage, a
poor family consisting of "Billie" and
Sevilla Holmes, the parents of two sons,
'Billie," Jr., and Jacob R., also one
laughter, Blanch, an interesting little
brown-eyed maiden of 12 years the
heroine of this narrative. The mother
has been in delicate health. In June
last the younger son enlisted as a pri
vate in the Nineteenth regiment. The
invalid mother yearned for her boy, the
little sister wanted her brother, and all
grieved to see the mother rapidly fail
ing in health. With the faith of a trusts
ful child, the little girl wrote to Presi
dent McKinley: "Please discharge my
brother Jake at once; my mamma is
sick and will never get well if he does
not come home." In a few days came a
brief response from the executive man
sion to the effect that her request would
be granted. Blanch, thinking this all
the permission necessary for the re
lease of any soldier, mailed it atonce to
her brother, in camp near Ponce, Porto
Rico. Long before that message
reached its destination Jake was on his
way home. September 16, A. D. 1898,
will be a red letter day in his life.
While with a comrade guarding Span
ish prisoners and carving from a gourd
a jewel box for his little sister, the
voice of Sergt. Laufer- was heard call
ing: "Jake, oh, Jake! Come here,
quick; turn in your equipment and get
off this island. You're going home."
The mystery was explained when Lieut.
Howard gave him his honorable dis
charge. But not until Jake's arrival
home, September 28, did he know the
part his little sister had in obtaining
it from our kind-hearted president
CALM ADVICE IN RAINSTORM
The Tail Man Tell* the Little One W ho
Run* Into Hint to Hold His
Head l"p.
It was the day that it rained so hard
and snowed a little to help out, the day
that the big steamer foundered oppo
site the Auditorium and half a dozen
other vessels were in distress along the
lake shore. The wind and rain swept
through the streets in blinding gusts
and every pedestrian plowed along with
head bent to escape the wind, umbrella
firmly clutched to avoid its destruction
and deep disgust for everybody and
everything written on his averted coun
tenance, says the Chicago Chronicle.
One little man was wrestling with
wind and weather in a desperate sort
of way as he forced his course along
Fifth avenue, nis head was down so
low that he could see nothing except
the paving blocks, and still the shifting
wind carried the rain into his face at
times. At Washington street he es
sayed to cross the street, and in doing
so'ran directly into a tall man who was
trying to get ulor.g with his head in the
air. The tall man doubled up for an in
stant, but he did not get mad. Instead
of saying harsh and profane things to
the man who had thus buffeted him he
said:
"Hold your head up." Then he strode
The man who received this piece of
advice did not for a moment or two
realize what had been said, ne stood
still, and when it dawned upon him that
a perfect stranger had volunteered a
rule of conduct to be followed on a
stormy day he turned with a frown and
a retort on his Hps. Hut the tall man
was far away and the little fellow
bowed liis head nnd once more plunged
into the storm

Their Desert.
Some time ago, writes a volunteer in
the London Telegraph, 1 spent a week
with a garrison battery in a south coast
fort. On the last day the sergeants sat
down to an exceptionally fine dinner,
the crowning glory of which was a
large plum pudding. I had made the
pudding two days before, hail it boiled,
and now, reheated, it made its appear
ance, amid the welcome shouts of my
brother warriors, and I naturally felt
a bit proud of it, for I hadn't been a
ship's cool: for nothing.
"Seems mighty hard," remarked the
sergeant major, as he vainly tried to
stick his fork into it. "Haveyou boiled
us a cannon ball, Browney?"
"Or Ihe regimental football?" asked
another.
"Where t'id you get the flour from?"
questioned Sergt. Smith.
"Where from?" I retorted. "From
store No. 5, of course."
"The deuce you did!" roared the
quartermaster sergeant. "Then, hang
! you, you've made the pudding with
Portland cement."
And so it proved. That pudding is
now preserved in the battery museum
Some 1011 ullali Einlnranli.
Up till now, if the inhabitant oi a
Norfolk village emigrates, it is gen
erally to America, says a writer in
Longman's Magazine, and very often he
does not like America when he gets
there. I remember a blacksmith with
whom I was well acquainted going
there, but in a couple of years or so he
was to be seen working at the old forge
in bis native village. I asked him why
he had come back, and he told me that
he earned plenty of money out ".ere,
but he "didn't like it." When 1 was in
New York a tailor came to see me who
hail iM'en an apprentice here in Bungay.
He told ine the same story. Plenty of
money, especially at times, but he
"meant to get liaok as soon as he could.'
Also 1 had a conversation with an Eng
lish coachman whose tale was much
the same. His wages were large, but
"there weien't no society for such as
him;" in the states they were all "gi "Is
or niggers."

She sat on the sliding cushion
The dear, wee woman of four;
Her feet, in their shining slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to he good, she had promised,
And so with her big brown eyes.
She stared at the meeting house win
dows
And counted the crawling Hies.
She looked far nil at the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought of a broken basket
Where, curled in a dusky heap,
Three sleek, round"puppies with fringy
ears
Lay snnKKled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle.
Such queer little hearts to beat.
Such, swift, round tongues to kiss.
Such sprawling, cushion feet;
She could feel in her clasping lingers
The touch of the satiny skin.
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
Ho quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, "Bless the
child,"
As each one waked from a nap.
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mother's lap.

Our New Possessions.
The new possessions added to the ter
ritory of the United States within the
past year are equal in area to all of the
New England States, New York. Penn
aylvania and New Jersey. They are
Cuba—Area, 45,000 square miles; pop
ulation. 1,500,000; 65 per cent, white.
Porto Rico—Area. 8.550 sqnare miles:
population 1,000.000; 60 per cent. white.
Hawaii—Area,6,64o square miles; pop.
ulation 90,000; 25 per cent, white.
Philippines—Area. 114.000 sq. miles;
population 8.000,000 mostly Orientals.
The Snlns—Area. 1,000 sqnare miles;
the Carolines, 1,900 square miles, and
Guam, in the Ladrones. 500 sqnare
miles. The population of these islands
is mostly barbarous.
The aggregate population of the is
lands annexed is about 10.000,000.
This annexation business is a new de
parture for the United States, and is a
reversal of onr previous policy. But as
the most enlightened, justice and liber
ty loving people on earth, why should
we not extend the blessings of consti
tutional freedom to those people? Our
new possessions may cause us consid
erable annoyance and give us some new
and great problems to solve. But that
is what we are here for. True great
ness does not shut itself up in the oys
ter shell of its own selfishness and refuse
to be bothered with inferior peoples,
but enters actively and energetically
into the great work of extending the
boundaries of civilization and increasing
human happiness throughout the world
The flag of freedom floats over the
crude inhabitants of these islands be
cause the Infinite Ruler of the Universe
would have it so. It is destiny. Is
there not wisdom, justice and mercy in
it beyond human understanding? Why
should anybody whine and lament be
cause the yoke of the most tyrannical,
bigoted nation on earth has been lifted
from the backs of nearly ten millions of
souls and their destines linked with the
most liberal and enlightened nation on
earthV Why should we weep because
ten million people have turned their
faces to the dawn. —Punxsutawney

DON'T MAKE THEM DEEPER.
Is father's eyesight growing dim,
His form a little lower?
Is mother's hair a little gray.
Her step a little slower?
Is life's hill growing liard to climb?
Make not their pathwuy steeper;
Bniooth out the furrows on their brows.
Oh, do not make them deeper.
There's nothing makes a face so young,
As Joy, youth's fairest token;
And nothing makes a face grow old
Like hearts that have been bi :eu.
Take heed lest deeds of thine sli. aid muks
Thy mother be a weeper;
Stump peace upon a father's brow.
Don't make the wrinkles dcepet.
In doubtful pathways do not go.
Be tempted not to wander;
Grieve not the hearts that love you so.
Hut make their love grow fonder.
Much have thy parents borne for thee.
Be now their tender keeper;
And let them lean upon thy love,
Don't make the wrinkles deeper.
Be lavish with thy loving deeds.
Be patient, true and tender;
And make the path that ageward leads
Aglow with earthly splendor.
Bome day. thy dear ones, strleken low.
Must yield to death, the reaper;
And you will then be glad to know.
You made no wrlnkb-s deeper.

Is a winner and no mistake. Past experence has taught us that there are many-poor tooth
brushes that look like good ones hut fall short when the real test comes, bristles fall out or
break off which make them unpleasant to use. After many attempts we have finally suc
ceeded In finding one to prove satisfactory, and we now buy them In large quantities wil li
our name stamped on each brush as a guarantee to IKS as we claliu or we will give you a
new brush f.-ee. we Just received several gross a few days ago. consisting of several sizes
ami many dilTerant styles. This however, is not our lirst lot of these brushes and from <he
amount we sell and the satisfaction they give we are led to believe there Is not a l>elter
