city schools steadily f6isix years said Miss James whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracted attention They were greatly overcrowded especially in the primary department of which I had charge and I had been doing the work of two teachers The strain was too much for my nerves and two years ago the crisis came I was prostrated mentally and phy sically sent in my resignation and never expected to be able to resume work It seemed to me then that I was the most miserable woman on earth I was tor tured by nervous headaches worn out by inability to sleep and had so little blood that I was as white as chalk After my active life it was hard to bear idleness and terribly discouraging to keep paying out the savings of years for medicines which did me no good Howdidyou gefcbackyour health A bare chance and a lot of faith led me to a cure After I had suffered for many months and when I was on the very verge of despair I happened to read an account of some oures effected by Dr Williams Pink Pills The state ments were so convincing that I some how felt assured that these pills would help mo Most people I think buy only one box for a trial but I purchased six boxes at once and when I had used them np I was indeed well and hod no need of more medicine Dr Williams Pink Pills enriched my thin blood gave me back my sleep re stored my appetite gave me strength to walk long distances without fatigue in fact freed me from all my numerous ail ments I have already taught for several months and I cannot say enough in praise of Dr Williams Pink Pills Miss Margaret M James is now living at No 123 Clay street Dayton Ohio Many of her fellow teachers have also used Dr Williams Pink Pills and are enthusiastic about their merits

visit to America whatdo you think he brought with him on the good ship Canterbury An English doll This passenger is the sole survivor of thai voyage across the Atlantic which was made over 200 years ago William Penn had a little daughter named Letitia Letitia heard her fa ther tell wonderful tales of what he saw and heard in Pennsylvania on his first visit to this country thousands of miles distant from Letitias home He often told her about little Miss Ran kin who living as she did in the wild erness of Pennsylvania for this was long ago remember had no tops at ajl not even one rag doll When Letitias father was getting ready to again cross the ocean to America his little girl insisted upon sending a doll to that lonesome little girl The doll was dressed in a court cos tume of striped and delicately tinted brocade and velvet The skirt was held out by enormous hoops for such was the fashion of the well dressed ladies of that period The doll itself is twenty inches high and has the long waist and slender form of the court beauties she left in her native land Her hair is rolled back from her face much in the style of today This doll now lives in Montgomery county Maryland in the strictest se clusion She is only removed from her careful wrappings when little girls de sire the honor of making the acquaint ance of the oldest doll in America CCYIES A TIME When Coffeo Shows What

1G220 for the 182 days While this Is not as large as the per capita at the Nebraska City institution it is considered entirely too high for the good the institution does It is claim ed that the unfortunates there could be sent to an institution In Omaha at a cost of not more than 25 for the patient and the children inmates could be taken Into the Home of the Friendless To keep up both the build ings it will require repairs to cost not less than 10000 and this the board does not want to spend A great ef fort was made during the late legis lature to consolidate this institution with the

state board this year their real estate at the valuation fixed by the state board last year That is they must take their own figures of last year and add the increase made by the state board for the real estate valuation of this year Some coun ties have not done this but the sec retary of the board will do it for them The taking of assessors figures on real estate for last year instead of the figures of the board makes quite a difference in the total assessment In Johnson county thhe difference Is 11311770 while in Nemaha county the differenc is 14892955 which amounts the secretary of the
