Chicago's * Oentexmial Cele
bration.
The Chid ago & North-Western R'y
announces that muCh interest is be
ing evidenced throughout the west in
Chicago's celebration of the 100th an
niversary of that city's settlement in
1803. The celebration will take place
from September 26th to October 1st
next , with a program that includes a
series of commemorative events that
possess many special features of int
erest. A great naval display will be
a part of the program , together with
regattas and the spectacular arrival
in canoes , by way of the lake , of 400
Indians , the descendents of tribes
formerly occupying this site , who will
establish a village around a repro
duction of old Fort Dearborn , on the
lake front.
Athletic contests , parades , great
fire works displays , patriotic meet
ings and religious services , a grand
chorus , military maneuvers by gov
ernment troops , and on the conclud-
dav a reception to the President of
the United States and other disting
uished puests , all contribute to a most
elaborate program.
Every energy is being employed to
make the occasion typical of that spir
it that has made Chicago one of the
greatest cities in the world.

By the way , Youngster from down

to Weary Willie and Porcupine.
We think that Weary Willie is
already married , Porcupine ought
to be and Youngter would like to be.
But never mind , next year is leap
year , and if he don't propose to you
you can propose to him , and Weary
Willie and Porcupine will know

What's the matter with our presi

Seems like it's about time there was

the different sports and pleasures
of the day. We believe August is
the proper month for the Be-union
or early September.

Sometimes he joins a band of fellow

he sometimes takes his wife and a mi

name of their city and district marked
on them , and when they have received
good entertainment at a teahouse or
hotel they hang oue of their banners up
in a conspicuous place as a testimonial.
Often a band of pilgrims will travel

Cata of Ancient
By some persons the popularity of
the cat In Egypt has been attributed
to the fact that the animal was valu
able in ridding the palaces of rats and
mice and also in hunting fowls. There
ore several paintings in the British
museum , executed by ancient Egyp
tian artists , representing Egyptian
sportsmen in boats on the river Nile ,
accompanied by large cats , sitting on
their haunches in the stern. Other
picture's Fhow the cats swimming with
birds in their mouths after the mannej

I suffered with falling and con- .
geation of the wonib , "with severe j
gains through the groins. I suf-
ared terribly at the time of men
struation , had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the brain.
"What to try I knew not , for it
seemed that I had tried all ajnd
failed , but I had never tried "Wine
of Cardui , that blessed remedy for
sick women. I found it pleasant
to take and soon .knew that I had
the right medicine. New blood
seemed to course through my veins
and after using eleven , bottles I
was a well woman.
Mrs. Bush is now in perfect
health because she took "Wine of
Cardui for menstrual disorders ,
bearing down pains and blinding
headaches when all other remedies
failed to bring her relief. Any
sufferer may secure health by tak
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa
tient she is on the road to health.
