"Those terrible headaches are a thing of the past , " she said the other day to a Gate City representative , "and there is quite a story in connection ith it , too. " 1iy nervous system sustained a great shock some fifocn years ago brought On , Ibeliev y through too much worrying ovr family matters and then allowing l eve for m books to get the better of my .discretion 'Where my health t v as concerned. Why , ever my affairs at home did not go along just as 1 expected , I would invariably become prostrated from the excitement and I would consider myself fortunate indeed if the effects of the attack would not remain for a week. I was obliged to give up our pleasant home not far from the Lake Shore drive , because I could not stand the noise in that locality. I could find no place in the city which I deemed suitable t0 one whose nervous system was always on the point of explosion. To add to my misfortunes my complexion underwent a change and I looked so yellow and sallow that I was ashamed to venture from the , house at all. " 'Madam , ' said my doctor to me soon after an unusually severe attack of the malady , 'unless you leave the city and seek ) some place of quiet , you will never recover. ' ' So I concluded I would visit my uncle , who i lives in Dallas county , Iowa , and whose farm would surely be a good place for one in my pitiable condition. I picked up the Gate City one day and happened to come across an interesting recital of the recovery of some woman in New Yorkstatewho was afflicted as I had been. This woman had been curedby Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought that if Pink Pills cured that woman they might do the same for me. I began to take the pills according to directions and I began to feelbettcrfrom the start. After I had taken several boxes of them I was ready to go back to Chicago. My nervousness was gone and my complexion - ion was as fresh as that of any 16-year-old girl in Iowa , and Pink Pills is what put the color in my cheeks. No wonder I am in such high spirits and feel like a prize fighter. And no wonder I like to come to Keokuk , for if it had not been for Pink Pills bought from a Keokuk firm I would not be alive now , " laughingly concluded the lady. 1 lady.Dr. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the k elements necessary to give new life and i richness to the bled and restore shattered nerves.

I . t " , t t ETHICS OF TRAVELING. have Fasongars Certain nights Which Should Be Respected" "I should very much like to know , " said a plain citizen to aNew York Sun reporter , "whether there are any ethics - ics of traveling , I mean of railroad traveling in this country. Now , I went out on the 9:40 train on the New York Central the other morning and as I got on the train a little late , I found some difficulty in getting a seat. Not b2causo the cars were crowded , for they were just about half filled. That is the twelve or fifteen seats on each side hold each one person instead of the two that should find accommo- dation. The other halves of the seats were occupied by coats or valises , children or outer impediments of the preemptors. "I walked up and down three coaches all filled in the same way , and not one person offered to make room for me. Finally , and after the train had started , I asked permission to take the place of a hand-satchel and luncheon bag , and was sourly allowed to do. so. Other desperate people crowded in. and the coach was pretty well filled by the time we got to Poughkeepsie , but I failed to see a single instance in which half of the seat was voluntarily left open , or in which it was graciously given up. "Right across from where I sat was an aggravated case of this usurpation. In one seat the furthest from me , sat a lady with a milliner's box , taking up the space between her and the window. In the next seat behind was a gentleman who 1. found was the husband , and who had his half of the seat littered with a dozen parcels. Behind him sat a young lady , the daughter , guarding the aisle half of the seat with a rampart of canvas traveling bag. All three stolidly held their own against every comer , and kept the six seats until they got off at Hudson. "The point I wish to make is that while every passenger has the right to all the comforts and conveniences for which he has paid and which are therefore his by right of purchase , he has no right whatever to occupy , or even attempt to occupy , that part of a seat for which he has not paid. I know this preemptioff of the double seat is an offense of such everyday commission that it is accepted as one of the commonplaces of railroad travel nowadays , but it seems to me to merit a little official attention , not with a view of limiting the comforts of travel , but of preserving the rights of all travelers. FUNERALS AT NIGHT. They Are Increasing In Cities-Few Funerals With Pailbearors Nowadays. The custom of holding funeral services - vices at night is , according to an undertaker - dertaker , growing steadily in this city , says the New York Sun. Its growth dates from about five years ago. There were night funerals in New York before that , but they were comparatively few. The growth of the custom is due to several causes : The night funeral is less expensive and it meets the convenience of a much greater number of friends of the dead. With the increase of societies - cieties and their growth of membership - ship the loss of a day or half a day in attendance at the funeral of a member has come to be a serious tax , and in this respect the night funeral makes a saving of time. In line with this ceremony of time is a decided change , within five or six years , in the custom - tom with regard to pallbearers. There are now perhaps twenty funerals without pallbearers to one with them. Some of the night funerals are held at home , some at church. If at church , the body is taken after the services to the undertakers , and there kept until the burial. If at the house the body may be taken to the undertaker's or it may remain in the house over night. The morning service - vice , a prayer by the clergyman , would be attended by only the iinme- diate members of the family , who would take leave of the dead alone. The interment would be without fur- thr service at the cemetery. The number of funeral services hold at the undertakers' is also-increasing. No charge is made for the use of the shop for this purpose. It is in some respects more economical than a funeral at home or church , and with larger space than in a house it brings all attending together instead of separating them in various rooms.

Shepperd is accredited - ited with saying : From all published data I regard wheat about equal in value to corn. Barley - ley seems to be worth about 8 per cent less than corn. The real value of wheat as a feed can be learned only by comparing - paring is price with that of other grains. If barley , corn and shorts are cheap enough to produce 100 pounds of pork at less cost than wheat , it is folly to feed wheat. However , with wheat at its present low price and other grains high , itwill in very many cases pay to feed wheat , and especially that which is "off" in grade. The value at the farm of wheat , corn or other foods should determine which to use. Snow Registers Wanted.

Mrs. Mary Livermore , who , it was announced a few days ago , will retire to private life after a public career of thirty-years as lecturer , temperance advocate - vocate and woman suffragist , tvillggo down to posterity as a pioneer of wo- man's progress who did not wear blue goggles , and one of the most picturesque esquo figures in the world of women workers for the public good. Mrs. Livermore - ermore is a fine-looking old lady , tall , stately , with noble features and silver hair rippling in the now fashionable manner , over a broad , high forehead. She was an orator of no mean ability , and her lecture tours were always productive - ductive of much rebellion among the men and greatresults in the way of independence - dependence among the women. Mrs. Livermore was interested in charitable institutions and prison reform , as well as suffrage. She never , during her thirty years' career , lost any of the small vanities which strong-minded women are supposed to be without. On one occasion , when Mrs. Livermore was lost in New York , during the t onstitu- tional convention furor , a newspaperr woman interviewed her , and was about to leave , carrying a portrait of the suffragist - fragist with her , when Mrs. Livermore ran after her to the door , and blushing like a school-girl , said in a faltering way : "I wish you would tell the artist that that picture is not very good , and -and to make it a little prettier , won't you ? " That was , the chief interest in the interview. "I recall the story of a sultan , " said Dean hole , "who had a very pompous vizier and desiring to rid himself of the vizier , sold him in the open market for a slave. The market was not brisk that day , and the vizier brought only eightnence. The sultan bought him in at this price , and thereafter whenever the vizier became pompous the sultan had only to mention 'eightpenee , ' or draw a figure 8' in the air , when the pompons minister immediately sub- sided.

This Infliction - tion is preventable , In cases of rheumatism , by a timely resort to Hostetters's Stomach Bitters , which checks the encroachments of this obstinate - nato and dangerous malady at time outset. The term "dangerous" is used advisedly , for rheu matism is always liable to attach the vital organs and terminate life. No testimony is more conclusive and concurrent than that of physicians who testify to the excellent elect of the Bitters in this disease. Persons incur a wetting in rainy or snowy weather , and who arc exposed to draughts , should use the Bitters as a preventive of ill effects. Malaria , dyspepsia , liver and kidney trouble , nervousness and debility are also among the ailments to which this popular medicine is adapted.
