PRETTY SOUVENIR OF YOUTH
Sight of Purple Iris Brought Back
Happy Days of Childhood to
New York Woman.
“if yon want to feel like a child
again,” said the west side woman,
"go up to the corner of Amsterdam
avenue and One Hundred and
Fourth street, where the institution
stands that is familiarly known as
the Old Ladies' Home, and look at
the purple iris growing in the gar
den of the home. ‘Blue flags' we
called them when I was a child—the
royal fleur de 1 is of France. There is
a thick border of them around the
beds of shrubbery, and it looks
strange to see them growing vigor
ously in dry ground, for they belong
in the rushes along the banks of
sedgv creeks—I can hear the tink
ling waters yet and feel my feet cool
with splashing barefooted in the
brooks. In France and Italy these
flowers have the delicious lily fra
grance, but in America they give out
almost no odor—only a fresh, wet
smell, when you burv your face in
them. They are inexpensive flowers,
yet more beautiful than any orchid.
1 wonder the florists do not use them
more.”—Xew York Press.
HAVE OVERSUPPLY OF WINE.
From Geneva it is reported that
wine is so plentiful on the shores of
Lake Maggiore from the village of
Brione to Orselina that it is given
f reely to tramps who ask for a drink.
The poorest people leave a howl of
wine on the window sill for all com
ers. It is frequently refilled and
even the birds drink from it.
The farmers, in order to make
room for the coming vintage, are
getting rid of their ordinary wine at
nominal prices. Parents give the
wine to their children, and teachers
complain that many of their pupils
arrive at school in an inebriated con
dition. It is rare to see a child
in the district without a little gourd
of wine slung across the shoulder.

Long Have Been Right-Handed.
According to authorities from 86 to
95 per cent, of the men in civilized
lands are right-handed and have de
veloped the low right shoulder. This,
however, is no new phenomenon, for
even the ancient Greek sculptors had
noticed it and posed their subjects so as
to make them appear more symmet
rical.
It’s a pity when sick ones drug the
stomach or stimulate the Heart, and
kidneys. That is all wrong. A weak
Stomach means weak stomach nerves,
always and this is also true of the heart
and kidneys. The weak nerves are in
stead crying out for help. Thi9 ex
plains why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative iB
promptly helping stomach, heart and
kidney ailments. The Restorative
reaches out for the actual cause of
these ailments—the failing ‘inside
nerves.’ Anyway test the Restorative
48 hours. It wont cure as soon as that
but you will surely know that help i9
coming. Sold by all dealers.
ON THE DIAMOND
Continued from First pa are.
eel to get down to business, and
in the eighth inning Foehiinger
stepped to bat with a determined
air and landed a neat single, steal
ing second. Then Kelsey walked
and Ed. Poteet made first on a
passed ball and Foehiinger got
to third. With the bases full
and not a man out, Tom Poteet
struck an attitude at bat that
meant something and when lie
landed on the ball for a home
run the crowd went wild. Rut
this was not all, for two more of
our boys crossed home plate and
the score was now 7 to <>. In tne
next inning there was some hard
playing but to no avail and our
boys went down in defeat and the
agony was over.
But it was different in Wednes
day's game, anerwas so onesided
that very little interest was man
ifested. Each side scored in the
first, the visitors again in the
second, while our boys made the
circuit nine times. Score ') to 2.
The visitors played poor ball
compared with the game of the
previous day, but we suppose too
much German day was the cause
of it all.
Wm. Henniger, who has been
employed as a section hand on
the Missouri Pacific, was sudden
ly attacked with appendicitis on
Wednesday, and the railway com
oany immediately removed him
to St. Louis where he will be
cared for in their hospital.
Wednesday of next week our
people will have a chance to see
real league ball playing. The
Omaha league team will be here
for one game on Wednesday af
ternoon.

Hutchins left yesterday for an

Nervous
Break-Down
Nerve energy is the
force that controls the or
gans of respiration, cir
culation, digestion and
elimination. When you
feel weak, nervous, irri
table, sick, it is often be
cause you lack nerve
energy, and the process
of rebuilding and sustain
ing life is interfered with.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine has
cured thousands of such
cases, and will we believe
benefit if not entirely
cure you. Try it.
“My nervous system gave away
completely, and left me on the verge
of the grave. 1 tried skilled physi
cians but got no permanent relief.
I got so bad I had to give up my
business. I began taking Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine. In a few days
I was much better, and I continued
to improve until entirely cured. I
am In business again and never miss
an opportunity to recommend this
remedy.” MRS. V/. 1.. BURKI3,
Myrtle Creek, Oregon.
Your druggist sells Dr. Miles’ New
Ine. and we authorize him to return
price of first bottle (only) if it falls
to banefit you.
