>B|[ she comes so closely to
expectation For as a
' " rule from the time of
marriage onward, her Ixxly is daily
drained of strength and her mind daily
burdened by cares. She lies on the
couch, her 'hack aching, from female
trouble, and gats up ami puts on a smil
ing face to meet her husband.
Marriage can only be an equal partner
ship when the drains and strains of mar
ried life of the woman can be replaced
by the perfect health of the delicate
womanly organs. No woman need suf
fer with inflammation, ulceration, debili
tating drains or female trouble. There's
an absolute cure for all these in Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes
life a pleasure, does away with morning
sickness, and makes the baby's advent
easy and almost painless.
I had been a sufferer from uterine*rouble for
■bout three years, having two miscarriage in
that time.«and the doctors said I wou'.d have to
go through an operation before 1 could jfive
irth to children;" writes Mrs. Blanche K.
Evans of Parsons. Luierne Co., Pa., Box 41.
" When about to give up in despair I saw the ad
vertisement of Dr. Pierce's medicine and
thought I would give it a trial as a last resort. I
bought a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. and iftcr taking it felt better than I
had for years After taking four and one-halt
bottle- I gave blrtli to a bright baby girl who is
now four months old and has not had a day of
sickness."
"Favorite Prescription " contains no

THE MIDG£>S EACH HAD A BAD CASE
OF SWELLED HEAD.

Tnml.le Into the Ocean Took the
Insolence Out of the Other.
"It is a notorious fact," said an old
horseman, "that successful Jockeys
are more atiiictc-i with the big head
than any other class of midgets you re
liable to meet up with. O'u two occa
sions that 1 reeaii I've seen American
waiters take prominent American
Jockeys down when the latter have be
come Insu.iera'. Ie iu their conduct.
Some years ago an eastern jockey
whose fame was spread broadcast
Airougiiout the racing world was tak
ing dinner with a party of foolishly
idolatrous friends at the Cliff House,
outside of San Francisco. The jockey
had been riding during the winter rac
ing in and around San Francisco, and
on this day he had won the swell event
of the year ou a rather no account
horse. Consequently his hat was a
whole lot too small for him.
"He was an Insulting little chap at
best, but on this occasion he simply
let ills tongue run away with his
brains. His humor took the turn of
joshing nn old time wliiter at the Cliff
House who had been In California
since the days of the Argonauts. The
old man had long side whiskers, and
the Jockey made sundry aud divers re
marks to the waiter about the oppor
tunity lie was giving to the w '"d by
wearing whiskers of that particular
laagth. and the old man took the talk
good nattiredly without paying much
attention to the touch of nastiness in
the midget's remarks. Finally, how
ever, when the wine had gone around
pretty freely, the Jockey reached up
behind his chair as the old waiter was
in the act of performing some little
service for the men at the table, and,
twisting his hand in the hair on one
side of the old servitor's face, he delib
erately pulled out a fairly large hand
ful of the lattcr's whiskers.
"The old man leaped back with pain
and indignation, the jockey laughing
at him Idiotically. Then the waiter
coolly lifted the jockey out of his chair
by the scruff of the neck, sat down
and calmly deposited the midget across
his knees&face downward.
" 'Son, said the waiter, 'there's
something tfeot you've stood In need of
for a long past, Judging from
your actions during the past few
months, aud sfeat something you're
about to get and get good,' and he
brought the palm of an ample hand
down with a smack that sounded very
pleasant indeed unto the ears of all
the rest of tiie people In the room (ex
cept the jockey's frie*<Js) who had
seen the beard puUiiic Incident. Then
lie brought both hatnlh into and
tiie rataplan told of splendid Sedi
tion. The Jockey, kkked ami strug
gled. but he couldn't break an d
he had to take his medicine. Then ills
friends at the table Jumped to his res
cue, and, quickly letting the jockey
slide ou to tiie floor, the old waiter,
thoroughly aroused, jumped up and
knocked them down one after the oth
er. He ju: t polished them all off in de
tail, and when he had got through with
them lie stood his ground. Then the
manager appeared on the scene, and
when he was told by a number of oth
er guests, prominent men, what had
happened he assisted in kicking the
party out of the house.
"Another time a jockey who leaped
into prominence with tubteoric speed
by reason of his winning two of the
great events of the eastern turf in
quick succession got the worst of ft at
the hands of a Coney Island waiter.
I saw tiie Incident myself. Tiie Jockey
had had such a mighty accession of
the 'I am it' spirit that he considered
he could perform all sorts of mean lit
tle tricks at the expense of all hands
and do the same with impunity. On
this day he had won three straight
races, aud his imperiousncss was
something monumental. He took din
ner with three bookmakers on one of
the big Coney Island piers. The man
who waited on the party was a bullet
head, but a quiet, attentive man at
that. lie was removing some plates
after the second course when the jock
ey picked iqi -1 siphon of seltzer and
deliberately squirted half the bottle
full iu the waiter's face. The waiter
wiped his face and ills shirt front off
with his table towel and then he walk
ed up to the Jockey's chair and said:
" 'Have you had yer dip in de sea yit
t'day, Freddy ?'
'"No," said the jockey, with an ex
pression of surprise on his face, as If
lie wondered what was coming.
"'I t'ought not,' said the bullet
headed waiter. 'Dat's de reason I'm
goin t' let you have it now.'
"Then the waiter suddenly picked
tiie famous jockey up, and before any
of the men f>t the table could Interfere
he carried lilm over to the railing of
the pier an I dropped tiie midget horse
rider Into the water, about 15 feet be
low.
"'I jist want t' see If de little
snoozer wit' de swelled nut kin swim
as well as he kin ride a horse,' said the
waiter, quietly watching the jockey
come to (lie surface and strike out.
She jockey could swim, and lie made
le beaafc without any trouble, but ho
didn't return to the pier."—Washing

"I reckon Jabe Hawkins was about
the ugliest uiau the Lord ever let live,"
said L'uele Ben as be meditatively
wbetted his knife upon his boot leg.
"I've kuowed strangers to folier that
man around for a half hour jest to git
another look at his face an then go
right off an take a drink o' lieker.
Seemed to kind o' give 'em a relish for
it. I've kuowed fool women to scare
their children into spasms by threaten
in to give 'em to Jal»e. au they do say
he's been the cause o' more than one
runaway. lie was jest pizen ugly, au
that's all they was to it. It was a duru
pity, too, because he was a mighty nice
man if you happened to meet hfm in
the dark, au he had money iu the
bank at Maple ltuu an »><• acres o' as
tine bottom land as ever felt a plow.
"Well, iu spile o' him bein so blame
homely that he dnsseai look a woman
in the face, this yeie cuss was always
wantin to git married, but. o' course,
they wau't 110 way to get at it. He
advertised some in the city paper an
writ letters to lots o' women that way,
but he was honest to the core, an when
the thing got along fur enough so's
they might anything come o' it he al
ways sent his photograph, an that end
ed it.
"Oncet they was a mighty likely
widow from way back east that got to
iikin Jabe puny well through his let
ter writiu, au 1 must say he was a
good hand at that, before he sent his
pickshur. After studyin over liis liue
ments for a couple o' months she made
up her mind to come ou anyhow, but
when she ackshully saw Jabe in the
tiesh she backed out an married Si IV
ter, an she made him a mighty fine
wife, barrin the fact that she had a
20-year-old sou that bobbed up after
the ceremony an turned out to be as
shiftless as it's possible fur a man to
git an live.
"Then Jabe gits desperlt, an lie up au
offers a hundred dollars reward to auy
body as will git him a pardner. But
that didn't amount to much. Ole !>ud
Harris 'lowed he'd make his oldest
girl. Mirandy. the one tiiat had tlie
harelip, jiue him, an Jabe, knowin
his own shorteouiin's, was satisfied to
git anybody most, but Mirandy took
epileptic tits an died before the weddin
come off, an folks ail aroun said it was
a judgment on Dud.
"Then Jim Datum brung arouu his
haW witted girl, an Jabe studied a
long while over it. thinkiu inebby that
if they was goin to lie children come
with his ugliness they'd better be fools,
too, so's they wouldn't realize it. The
girl seemed to take a fancy to Jabe
right away an wanted to kiss him, but
he changed his tuiiul right off. properly
decidin that he couldn't stand anybody
that was as big a fool as that.
"Things was this-a-way when there
was a hypnotize!" come through Maple
Run an give a show, an he asked for
people to come up on the platform an
be hypnotized. Everybody most was
afraid to go till Jabe made the*break,
say in it didn't matter much what be
come o' him nohow, an then five more
went up like they aliuz do.
"Well, the minit this here hypnotist
took hold o' .labe's head an tilted it
back to git a good look iu his eyes he
give a funny little jump an says:
"'I can't do nothln with you. Why,
man, you may not know it, but you
got more power than 1 have. If you
fix them line blue eyes o' your'n on
anybody, they just nacbelly have to do
what you say.'
"Then he let Jabe go an made Wash
Ditlius fight bumblebees an preten' he
was a dog au do the most outlandish
things you ever heard of. 1 gosh. It
was funny, an he made some o' the
others act up, too, but none so much as
ole Wash, an the nest day he went
away.
"But he made a mighty big change iu
Jabe's life. Y'see up to thi; time Jabe
allu£ dropped his eyes every time he
see a woman cotnin, sin the woman alius
looked the other way. But now Jabe
made up his mind to try it, an so he
looked, an all the women knowed
about It, so they looked, an they found
out that them eyes was mighty tine if
you looked at 'em so keen you couldn't
see the rest o' his face. They was
mostly scared, too. since they heard
as how Jabe was a hypnotizer if he
only wanted to be that-a-way; but. o'
course, that only tna«!e 'em look all the
