The women continue to wear their hair 10 suit themselves, rather than Mr. Carnegie. If “Mrs. Warren’s Profession” is too tough for New York, it must be al mighty tough. As a small confession to common •sense William Waldorf Astor does not wear a monocle. Sir Frederick Treves says sickness Is a blessing. Perhaps he intends to marry the nurse. Usually when a man reaches the turn In the lane he finds that it turns in the wrong direction. The duke business in Russia isn’t likely to be as profitable in the future as it has been in the past. That Denver man who has never been kissed is going to disappoint some woman badly one of these days. The mystery of Edwin Drood has been solved, but we are still searching for the man who struck Billy Patter son. Stuyvesant Fish has paid one of his wile's bills at last. Oh, these women! They always have their way sooner or later. In the glorious golden autumn love ly woman buys a frock, and the frost is on the wallet and the neighbors get a shock. A Tennessee state senator who led a raid on his son’s poker game prob ably gave the young man the surprise of his life. The American contractor is to build the Panama canal. There is nothing in this world he is not ready to under take and execute. According to the new state census, the population of Greater New York is 4,014,304. This will make Chicago feel worse than ever. A check for $32,035,875.50 has just been signed by the assistant secretary of the treasury, but it wasn't drawn cn his personal account. , King Alfonso traveled incognito through France on his way to Ger many. That's the only way that roy alty can have a real good time. Men are the real slaves of fashion, in Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's opinion; look at the hats they wear. Well, look at the things called hats women wear. An eastern poet says: “The morn ing light is breaking.” It may be, however, that it is the cook smashing a few cut-glass finger bowls in the kitchen. An Omaha man who lost his job at the age of 104 and then tried to com mit suicide will be excused for think ing that he had reached the end of his rope. William Schaus, a scientist, has given 26,000 moths to the American Museum of Natural History. The com mon practice of donating dollars did not appeal to him. A Massachusetts man has been ap pointed to the consulship at Vladivos tok—a place that seems very much more attractive now than it did three or four months ago. A fleet may be sent to compel the sultan to make reforms in Macedonia. In arguing with the more or less sub lime porte there is nothing quite so persuasive as big guns. A Long Island man who is 40 years old and minus a leg bested his 16-year old son In a race for the affections of a 14-year-old girl. The Osier limit certainly does not apply here. Now they’re asking: “In a football game between college players and pu gilists, which would win?’’ As well ask, in a flirtation between a man and woman which would have the best of it? When every paper in the country has paid due and proper attention to the fact that toothpicks are not considered good form at the University of Chi cago the incident may be regarded as closed. Eggs laid on Sunday in Cumberland, Ky„ will hereafter be devoted to con verting the heathen. But the heathen is foxy. He will doubtless meet the emergency by doing his heathening behind a net.—Chicago Journal. Oscar St. Cyr has made a new world’s record for swimming forty yards in the tank of the Chicago Ath letic association, covering the distance in twenty-one seconds—and there wasn’t any alligator behind him, either. Prof. Wiley proposes to test the ef fects of cold storage food on the hu man system. It is to be hoped that he will try the cold storage egg himself, so that he may speak from personal experience instead of merely observing its effect on some hired man. Hall Caine, leaving for Europe, says that he is not quite prepared to say that he is about to write a book about the conditions of the wealthy class in the United States, and as he has been over here only for three weeks, he certainly is not prepared to write the book. An Iowa woman, angry with her hus band, snatched a framed motto, “God Bless Our Home,” from its fastenings and smashed it on the bald head of her husband. It doesn’t seem to have been effective on the wall. WASTED TO A SHADOW. But Found a Cure After Fifteen Years of Suffering. A. H. Stotts, messenger at the State Capitol, Columbus, O., says: “For fifteen years I had kidney trou bles, and though I doctored faithfully, could not find a cure. I had heavy backaches, dizzy headaches and ter rible urinary disor ders. One day I collapsed, fell in sensible on the sidewalk, and then wasted away in bed for ten weeks. After being given up, I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills. In a couple of months I regained my old health, and now weigh 188 pounds. Twelve boxes did it, and I have been well two years.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Birds in Attack. Birds display great skill and cun' nlng in the chase, the attack and in guarding themselves from injury dur ing the struggle for supremacy. The secretary bird is the inveterate enemy and untiring pursuer of the snake. All sorts, even the most venomous, he hunts with a zest that is at once in teresting and amusing. The snake flees from its foe, who follows, watching every opportunity for a blow. When the reptile turns the bird uses one of his wings as a shield and strikes with his foot. The snake buries its fangs in the wing, but leaves the poison in the plumage and the bird escapes unhurt. Repeated blows from the powerful claw confuse and disable the snake, and at last it falls, to be at once dis patched by thrusts of the sharp beak into its head. The bird then tosses his victim into the air and, catching it as it falls, swallows it. When Women Rule. Men manage men more successfully than women manage women. A man can control a large stall of men with out friction, whereas women who em ploy women, however small the num ber may be, generally find them a source of constant irritation. The truth is that men are juster, more considerate and more generous than women in dealing with their subor dinates.—Referee. Women as Architects. If every firm of architects would employ a woman, says a writer, who has made not only the arranging and decorating of a house her special study but those more important struc tural and sanitary details as well, 1 venture to think it would not only mean increased business to the firm but immense improvements and com fort both in houses and flats. Dressmakers’ Models. A London court dressmaker said the other day: “A mannequin, which is the correct name for a model, should be five feet eight inches tall in order to show the new model dresses from Paris to advantage. This is two inches taller than last season’s height.” Celebrates 104th Birthday. James Bellows McGregor of North Newport, N.

(Chicago Tribune.) There has been much discussion the last nionths upon what the press has called scandals in some of the large east ern life Insurance companies, and while attention has been riveted upon the diffi culties of these institutions the public has almost grown to believe all are alike, and are inclined to censure all for the short coming* of the few. In looking over the situation carefully there seems to be some companies located m the west that have neither speculated in wall street securities nor invested in them. All their assets, including both re serve and surplus are Invested in first mortgages on western improved farms, the best security in the world, and draw a good rate of interest. One such company that certainly exhibits a clean record, as shown by its reports, has its nome office at Lincoln, Neb., and conducts its business under the name of The Old Line Hankers* Life of Nebraska. It is nearly twenty years old. but has never done much talking about itself. It has grown conservatively and quietly and has made progress each year along lines that its policy holders approve. Practically all of Its assets of a million and a quarter collars are invested in first mortgages on the best of farms, and not a dollar of past due interest is shown in its report. Its earnings last year for its policy hold ers was more than 11 per cent on its reserve, the cost for new business written is less than any of the leading life insurance companies in the United states, and its death loss per thousand was less by one-half than any of them, unlike many companies organized in re cent years on the remains of some de runct assessment order or company, it started originally as an old line com ply. and has no assessment business Weighing it down. Its surplus already earned for its policy holders is in amount equal to 33 per cent 01 Its entire reserve, its statement of assets does not show a single dollar of the many Items like agency balances, bills receivable, premium notes, stocks and bonds, real estate. other assets,” etc., which make up a considerable portion of the assets of many companies, but it consists of money and loans, and nothing else. The public will discriminate more and more In the future between companies, not as to size, as in the past, but qualitv, and tre one that can show a clean record, and ability through conservative manage ment to pay good dividends, will receive in the future an increasing patronage from that great conservative portion of the public who are not looking for specu lation In a life contract, but for protec tion and reasonable returns on their in vestment. If the investigation of New York com panies has done nothing more, it will cause the western people to wake up to the fact that, as illustrated above, they have as good companies as any in the world, capable of taking care of all busi ness offered, and when taken managing it as you would manage your own affairs, and sliowing results that no eastern com pany has up to date been able to dupli cate. A great scholar says: In reading a book, I always stop at the bottom of each page and compel myself to give an account of everything read on that page. Thou mayst as well expect to grow stronger by always eating, as wise by always reading. It is thought and digestion which make books serv iceable, and give health and vigor to l the mind. EECORD OF LOYALTY SPLENDID WORK OF RAILROAD MEN IN AN EMERGENCY. Enormous Amount of Traffic Success fully Handled on Single Track in Face of Heavy Handicap—Shows Quality of American Train Crews. The well-known writer on railroad subjects, Mr. Frank H. Spearman, in his book entitled, ‘‘The Strategy of Great Railroads,” describes the sur prise of the general manager of one of the eastern trunk lines, on a hunt ing trip in the north woods, who sud denly found himself on the right of way of a splendid, well-built railway line, apparently of a construction and equipment similar to the New York Central or Pennsylvania, along which thundered in quick succession heavy trains of iron ore, splendid passenger equipment and general freight service of surprising proportions. This was the Peninsula division of the Chicago & North-Western Rail way, which covers the' Upper Penin sula of Michigan, including the hard wood district and Lake Superior iron and copper region, with a surprisingly efficient net work of lines that con nect the mines and forests with im portant lake ports, and with through rail service to and from the outer world. Along this busy ore-carrying line a splendid exposition of the loyalty, in telligence and general good team work that can be expected of the aver age railroad man and the efficiency of the rules laid down for his guidance in an emergency, was given a few days ago, which so greatly pleased the superintendent-and other officials that the story has finally crept into public print, and it is well worth repetition in these columns. It was alt occasioned by a very heavy sleet storm that fell in the Up per Peninsula a few days ago, which threw down practically every tele graph line in the region in a few hours, and left the 464 miles of the division absolutely without tele graphic service for no less than forty eight hours. The ore movement has been espe cially heavy this year, more lake Su perior ore being transported on the Great Lakes than ever before in the history of the iron industry, and in this emergency every mine would have to shut down on account of the shortage of railway cars to move their product unless the road was kept open in spite of the storm. There was nothing that could be done by the chief train dispatcher; both he and the division superintend ent were temporarily out of the game. It was one of these emergencies where the “man behind the gun” must make good, or the case was a hopeless one. And make good he did, in true blue, loyal style, with that splendid initia tive that makes the average train crew typical of the qualities we ad mire in our American troops. There was no way in which to get orders for train movements, no means by which division headquarters could be kept advised of where their trains were, and to the onlooker, no means existed by which the train crew could keep track of the whereabouts of trains in the opposite direction. It was an emergency of the gravest char acter. and was met with a splendid exhibition of good judgment and in telligent grasp of the science of rail road operation that is perhaps without an equal. They managed, on a single track line, without telegraph lines, for two whole days and nights, to ke°p every iron and copper mine in the district supplied with equipment and moved all trains practically on time. 4.971 cars were moved over the di vision Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21, and one hundred and twenty five freight trains and no less than thirty-four passenger trains were taken care of upon the division, all handled on time on a single track, without accident, mishap, or delay and without the help of a train dis patcher. Can anyone beat that record of loy alty to employers, hard work and in telligent grasp of conditions? Any man who has ever handled the train movement of a busy railway di vision will appreciate how very much Is involved in the work these train men did, hurrying to and fro over sleet covered cars, keeping cool, and ready to meet every emergency by ap plication of the operating rules pro vided for their guidance. A Day to Remember. Sweet young thing—Oh, this has been a wonderful day—my sixteenth birthday! I’ve had my first kiss from Arthur and my last box on the ears from mamma!—Meggendorfer Blaet ter. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use the) will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one fill! pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same. 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishe= to dispose of before he puts in Defiance He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs." Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing, Defiance never sticks. White Hate for Cabmen. By order of the police all cabmen in Berlin must wear white hats. Try One Package. If “Defiance Starch” does not please you, reurn It to your dealer. If it does you get one-third more for the same money. It will give you satis faction, and will not stick to the iron. Occupation is inoculation against much temptation. Sensible Housekeepers will have Defiance Starch, not alone because they get one-third mote for the same money, but also because of superior quality. The darkness awaits him who wastes the day. A d. A beggar in ujacm recently ac costed a man and whined, “I'm par alyzed in both me 'ands, mister, a* can’t work, for I can’t grasp anything with ’em. Could you spare me a trifle, mister?” i “I'm deaf,” replied the gentleman. “You’d better write down what you want to say. Here’s a pencil and a piece of paper.” “Deaf, is ’e?” thought the beggar. “Then 'e didn’t hear about the paraly sis.” So he wrote down: “I’ve got a wife and six children starvin’ at home, an’ ham in a dreadful state of dester tushon.” He handed the paper to the man, who said: “I thought you said you were paralyzed in both hands and couldn’t grasp anything; and yet you can write!” “Did—didn’t yer say yer was deaf?’’ stammered the beggar. “Yes, to find out if you were an im postor. which you are, as I supposed," replied the man. “Well, of all the blooming frauds, yer the biggest!” exclaimed the beg gar. “The hidea of yer sayin’ yer wras deaf, and tryin’ to impose on a poor feller!” And he shuffled off sniffing the air with righteous indignation. Convincing Evidence. Winthrop, Cal., Nov. 20th (Special) —A plain and straightforward story is always the most convincing. And that is what has Impressed us most in reading the testimonials in regard io Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The experi ence told by Davis Lewis of this place bears the ring and stamp of truth upon it. He says:— “I was troubled for six months with dull heavy pains in the small of my back, sometimes it passed into my stomach, at other times up be tween my shoulders. When It was in my stomach I was doubled up, and hardly knew what to do for the pain. I was advised to take all kinds of remedies, and did so but without get ting any relief. Then some one told me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I got a box and began taking them. The first few doses gave me relief, by the time I had finished them all the pain was gone and I have been well ever since.” Many religious persons don’t go to church on rainy Sundays on account of the prevalence of umbrella-stealing among the church-goers.

One night a man took a little taper out of a drawer and lighted it. and be gan to ascend a long, winding stair. “Where are you going?” said the taper. “Away, high up,” said the man; “higher than the top of the house where we slee?.” “And what are you going to do there?” said the little taper. “I am going to show the ships out at sea where the harbor is,” said the man; "for we stand at the entrance to a harbor, and some ship far out on the stormy sea may be looking for our light even now.” “Alas! no ship could ever see my light,” said the little taper; “it is so very small.” "If your light is small,” said the man, “keep it burning brightly and leave the rest to me.” Well, when the man got up to the top of the lighthouse—for this was a lighthouse they were in—he took the little taper and with it he lighted the great lamps that stood ready with their polished reflectors behind them, and soon they were burning steady and clear, throwing a great strong beam of light across the sea. By this time the lighthouse man had blown out the little taper and laid it aside. But it had done its work. Through its own light had been so small, it had been the means of kindling the great lights in the top of the lighthouse and these were now shining over the sea, so that ships far out knew by it where they were, and were guided safely intc the harbor. PASSING OF PORRIDGE Makes Way for the Better Food of a Better Day. "Porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home,” writes a loyal bruain from Huntsville, Ont. This was an admission of no small signifi cance to one “brought up” on the time honored stand-by. “One month ago,” she continues, ‘1 bought a package of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an in valid for over a year. He had passed through a severe attack of pneumonia and la grippe combined, and was left in a very bad condition when they passed away. “I tried everything for his benefit, but nothing seemed to do him any good. Month followed month and he still remained as weak as ever. I was almost discouraged about him when I got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has compensated me for my anxiety. “In the one month that he has eat en Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds in weight, his strength is rap idly returning to him, and he feels like a new man. Now we all eat Grape-Nuts food, and are the better for It. Our little 5 year old boy, who used to suffer from pains in the stom ach after eating the old-fashioned por ridge, has no more trouble since he began to use Grape-Nhts, and I have no more doctor’s bills to pay for him. “We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet cream, and find it the most tasty dish in our bill of fare. “Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for break fast, nothing else, then set to work and got my morning's work done by 9 o’clock, and felt less tired, much stronger, than if I had made my break fast on meat, potatoes, etc., as I used to. I wouldn’t be without Grape-Nuts in tne house for any money.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville.’’ In pkgs. Miss Bates’ New Role. The story of Mr. Belasco’s new play for Miss Bates, “The Girl of the Golden West,” would indicate that It possesses all that is necessary of both heart interest and attractive ro mance. The central figure is that of a young girl of the mines, the patron saint of the miners. A child of the Sierras, she tells you that she is happy as the keeper of a gambling place and whisky saloon, because her father and mother were in the same business be fore her. To this girl the rough miners give a devotion that is Ideal ly beautiful. It forms the background of the one incident of the play that is dramatically tense all through. A “road agent” comes to the girl’s sa loon for the purpose of robbing it. He is the man of fate, for the two have seen each other before for a brief moment. The girl gives her love with all the freedom and unconventionality of the kind, though she keeps her self. as always, unspotted. The road agent is suspected, identified, and tracked to the girl’s hut, on the moun tainside, where he had gone upon her invitation for a quiet supper together. This act holds the dramatic climax of Mr. Belasco's story. The climax is a poker game, played by the girl and the sheriff, who is also her de clared lover. The stakes are herself and the life of her lover, who has been wounded and lies half conscious across the table. The background is drawn fine down to the scraps of paper that litter the floor of that truly Western cabin, with an Indian squaw and her papoose, the dim light of the tallow candles, and a most aw ful snowstorm in the very height of the love making. All these things lie there behind the great moments when the sheriff with tense hands and furtive eyes throws down his third hand, declar ing he has won because he has three kings. The girl has secreted in the part of the Indian girl, Fawn Afraid, in “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” has joined William Jossey’s company to play in “Du Barry” on the road. J. M.

From this point onward the story falls first into comedy, then into an other few moments of tense tragedy; and then fades beautifullly and ten derly away across the distances of the plains, whither the “girl” and her reformed lover go to find a new life. The finale is said to be another splen did achievement of Mr. Belasco’s stage art. Personal Mention. The Shuberts have added a theater in Denver to their string.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of utter weakness—these are symptoms that are familiar to most sufferers from stomach trouble.
