THE GUARD'S STORY.
from the Stnlo Journal, Lincoln, Neb,
There Is jrrobubly not a stronger mnn or
more trustworthy guard employed at tha
Nebraska Btato Penitentiary tbnn J. T.
Itnlstou To a stranger be appear n very
Kood example of tb man who boast tbat
be was never sick n dny In his life.
For ninny ycnrs Jlr. Ralston lived at
Byrnctue. Nebraska, nud the old residents
there remember him rt one of thottrougest
nnd hoalthlest of their number.
In '89, or thereabouts, Avhen the "grip"
llrat broke forth iu this tectlon of the coun
try, it claimed him as one of its earliest
victims. Like most men with n stronr
phytiquc, he sneered at the diseaso and did
not cuard properly ogaiui.t it. Fordtxysho
lay in bed and left it only as a conOrmcd
Invalid.
About this time ho mo veil with his family
to Peru, Nobrnska, where eouib of his chil
dren woto nltendluR the Btato Normal
School. He hoped tho change would do him
good, but ho wimdisappolnted. Hodoctored
with tho local physicians, and evon with his
own son, who was practicing medicine. All
deemed to no avail, and miserable in mind
and body the poor man told his family that
he feared thero was no hope for him.
A hnppy thought of hisown lcdhlm to
try htrong stimulants. He was ngnin ablo
to work. But he Boon found that his relief
was but temporary, and when bad weather
came on ho Was subjoct to severe attacks
of the '"grip" as betore.
Two yearn ago Mr ltal&tonwos employed
nt tho Ncbrnska Btato Penitentiary nt Lin
coln, tho state capital, and enjoyed compar
ative onso while performing the duties of
usher. Last full, however, he was put out
on tho wall, aud with the chaugo of work
came his old trouble- in oven moro aggravat
ed form. He was not only troubled with tho
usual miserable- feelings of the "grip." but
he found hinitelf short of breath nnd gen
erally weak, these things unfitting him for
the duties of hiR position.
Once moro. almost in despair, he sought
n cure and purchased a box of Dr. "Williams'
Pink Fills for Palo People He used them
according to directions and lelt better Five
more boxes followed the first, and thelong
EUiTerer was a well man.
Said ho to a Journal reporter, to w horn ho
had just given tho above facts: "I feel now
as though I could stack moro hay than any
man in Nebraska: and if I needed n posi
tion now I would hunt one on a harvest
field. Why. only last Sunday night 1 took
a sovere cold which, a year ago, would have
laid mo up a weok with the 'grip'; but
now it causes mo only temporary annoy
nnco, nr.d I simply live it oif."
f Mr. Piktou has boon 'ong and favorably
known in many parts of Nebraska, both ns a
private citizen nnd as a loader in tho orig
inal Farroers'AllIauce movement, and hosts
of friends rejoice with him in his remark
ablo recovery, for which he unhesitatingly
gives tho credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all tho elements necessary
to give now llfo nnd richness to tho blood
and restore shattered serves. Fink Pills are
sold by all dealers, or will bo sent post paid
ou recoipt of prico, 60 cents a box. or six
boxes for $2..'.0, by nddressing Dr. Williams'
'Uedlciue Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

It is only when to-morrow's burden

There is nothing to small but that we
may honor God by asking his guidance

Tho talent of success Is nothing

No one can ask honestly or hopefully
to be delivered from temptation unless
he ha3 himself honestly and firmly de
termined to do the best he can to keep
out of it. Ituskln.
A child of ordinary capacity nnd des
titute of property, but converted to God
In childhood, is frequently worth more
to the church than ten wealthy men
converted at the moon of life. John
Todd.
Honest good humor Is the oil nnd
wine of a merry meeting, and. there Is
no jovial companionship equal to that
where the jokes are rather small and
tho laughter Is abundant. Washington
Irving.
What cares the child when tho moth
er rock3 it, though all storm3 beat with
out? So we, if God doth shield and tend
us, shall be heedless of the tempests
and blasts of life, blow they ever so
rudely. Henry Ward Beecher.
An employment, the satisfactory pur
suit of which requires of a mnn that he
shall bo endowed with a letontlve mem
ory, qnlck at learning, lofty-minded
and graceful, Is the friend and brother
of truth, fortitude and temperance.
Plato.
FASHION'S FANCIES.
Every description of thin, gauzy, ma
terial Is popular for gowns and waists.
Red, yellow, blue, mauve, and green
organdies, trimmed with cream or
black lace, make very stylish-looking
gowns.
Black loco end insertion on whlto cos
tumes Is one of the newest fancies of
the hour.
White tucking, combined with while
or colored beading and satin baby rib
bon, is very pretty for yokes, gulmpes,
nnd plastrons on children's frocks,
Parasols for everyday wear are most
ly ot shaded silks; lavender nnd gold
gives a charming, rhimmering effect,
and red ones arc always pretty, espe
cially for n pale-faced girl.
WORTH KNOWING.
Women have colds in the head less
frequently than men, because they aro
not accustomed to heavy head cover
ings. When an artery has been severed the
blood comes In jets, because the heart
throws It directly to tho point whore
the artery has been cut.
The most sensitive nerves are in
the nose, tongue and ?yes, because in
these organs greater sensitiveness
Is needed than In any other part of tho
body.

ROCK coats ot
Louis XVI. cut will
bo worn In velvet,
In rich combina
tion with wool
skirt and Brocado
waistcoat, making
very handsome
street gowns that
will render an
overgarment un
necessary until very
cold weather, Many of tho new
coats nro very gorgeous affairs,
exceedingly rich of material, and
displaying no llttlo artistic ingenuity
In their designing. Jacket bodices are
fewer and ordinarily moro modest In
their materials, but somo of them aro
not far behind tho other stylo ot bodice
in the novelty and tastefulness ot their
designs. Ono of these is tho artist's con
tribution here, and wns found in blue
and black striped suiting, com
bined with plain bluo cloth.
The skirt had on each sldo a
panel of tho plain stuff finished
with machine stitching and ornamented
with small silk buttons. The fitted
jacket bodice had a short, full basque,
and wns cut out In a novel manner In
front to admit tho Insertion of a bluo
silk vest, trimmed with several rows
of Valenciennes lace. In tho waist tho
jacket had an imitated girdle orna
mented with buttons, and liko buttons
appeared on the sleeves and upper
part of tho bodice. Of course, the but
tons at the sides of the skirt panels In
dicated pockets, and these are not
merely Imitations, but arc really true
pockets. Though of about man's size,
they aro put so low that there Is no
danger of tho wearer's carrying her
hands In them, man-fashion, so there's
still a chance for further advance to
ward "new woman" notions. In the
matter of coats that arc Intended for
projection against severe cold, It 1b ru
mored that women are going to button
themselves into great Russian cut over
coats of cloth, lined throughout with
costly fur, and finished with fur collar
and cuffs. If this is so, what's to be
done with nil the lovely fur capes In
vested in last season? Yet from this
reflection women should not despair,
but comfort themselves with the pleas
ing certainty that lots of women won't
button themselves Into such great coats,
but will wear pretty capes of American

It must be an exceedingly trying, not
to say flat, stale and unprofitable time
of tho year for tho "new woman" this
season, when there is nothing talked of
but the newest modes ot gown and bon
net, things in which they, of course,
have no Interest, or, at least should
! have none, for such frivolity is only for
' the weaker sisters, who do not aspire

and law. You simply cannot dress a
bit "manny" nnd bo In the mode of this
full, for nil of the newest things are
French to tho backbone, nnd you know
thnt, even if every French womnn wero
a "new womnn," which few of them
are, their drcso would show llttlo ling
ering traits of their old love for finery.
Ono of tho most fly-away little coats of
tho season Is of black velvet, made
very round and smooth In the body,
and very flaring nnd full in the skirt.
It Is double-breasted and fastened with
immense pearl buttons. Thero arc no
sleeves, merely full capes let in at tho
shoulder and allowed to flare out over

the sleeves of the gown. These capes
are richly lined, ns is tho entire jacket,
with n soft, dove-colored satin, and fin
ished about the edge with a deep band
of gray-tinted lace. It is worn with a
Blnvplo but striking gown of dove-gray
mohair, perfectly plain unless ono no
tices tho softness aud richness of the
lining of satin. A pettlcont of dove
gray taffeta, trimmed about the foot
with deep frills of gray lace add the fin
ishing touch.

When one is deciding as to what form
of fall wrap, or, at least, trying to de-
c'.de, a visit to the shops, instead of
being helpful, only Intensified ono's Le
tt :'.Jermeut. A cape Is known, which,
far fetchlnets. cannot be competed with.
It seems as if this were the iery thing
desired; the accommodating show
womnn next brings out n love of a
coat, and one's resolutions, a la capj,
aro thrown utterly to tho winds, for
can thero be anything moro completely
Btunnlng than these short skirted, Im
pertinent llttlo nffatrs called coats?
Such a droop and Ilufllnoas as tho big
Bloovc3 show, which, nflor all, oro tho
biggest part of them. Ono of thoso
swagger llttlo garments is shown In n
very shaggy beaver, having long shag
gy hairs all over it, and so wonderfully
furry and costly looking. Tho color 1b
a deep hunter's green, such a refresh
ingly clear lint. It has a short, Ioobq
body, flaring as much ns possible at tho
back of the skirt, nnd fastened across
tho front by two huge metal buttons.
Tho rolling collar Is faced with hunt
er's gteon velvet, and tho deep cuffs
finishing tho huge glgot sleeves are of
tho snmo rich material. With this Is
worn a hat having a perfectly straight
brim of braided green felt, faced with
velvet, and tho top massed with choux
of green and black tulle, nnd two sharp
quills, ono of rooo and ono of yollow,
Thero Is nothing which qulto equals tho
delight of the first nppearanco In such n
Jaunty suit of fall toggory, when ono
Is perfectly conscious of their being
very much up to dato nnd extremoly
swagger.

Also, if it is truo that women aro grow
ing less domestic and less fond of homo
and Its cares, duties and responsibili
ties. Answer: It Js entirely against
Nature's laws nnd the established or
der of things that women will over be
willing to give up tho endearments nnd
rolatlons of home. The New Woman
Is not made of any different material
from that of tho old. Indeed, the New
Woman, as she is pictured and talked
of, Is a will-o'-the-wisp, and no one has
thus far ben able to catch her. Wo
men of nil ages, classes and conditions
aro very fond of their homes, their fam
ilies and their special responsibilities
and ties. There is no reason for tho
apprehension that the race will die out
on account of the assumption that the
New Woman Is not willing to assume
the cares of maternity. The world Is
going along just tho same, and there
will still be children and mu aeries am
happy mothers.

The ooctors tell us, now-a-days, that disease germs
are everywhere; in the air, in the water, in our 'f$od,
clothes, money ; that they get into our bodies, live
there, thrive and grow, if they ii nd any thing to thrive on.
Consumption is the destruction of Jung-tissue by
germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them.
The remedy is strength vital force.
Scott's 'Emulsion, with hypophosphites, means the
adjustment of lung strength to overcome germ-life.
It is fighting the germ with the odds in our fhvor.
These tiny little drops of fat-food make their way
into the system and re-fresh and re-invigorate it.
