Continued from page 5. the empress dowager, seated on a dais elaborately decorated with flowers and dishes of fruit, with the emperor at her right band, graciously and cordially re ceives the wives of the foreign ministers at their court. Lady Claut'e MacDon kid, wife of the British minister, read a speech in Eng'isb, expressing her pleas ure and that of the other ladies at hav ing an opportunity to tender their con gratulations to the empress dowager on her birthday and also expressing the hope that their step might be followed by the ladies of China.

(Presumably those learned in the domestic departments of women's clubs.) Mrs. Elia W. Peattie of Chicago, but formally a resident of Nebraska, where she k dearly loved and much respected, has recently published a collection of her Bhort stories under the title of -'The Shape of Fear and Other Ghostly Storks." Mrs. Peattie possesses in an unusual degree the power to hold the attention of her readers from beginning to end, and this little volume is no ex ception to its predecessors. It is very pleasant, interesting reading, somewhat thrilling in character, and we gladly piss a little vein that amounts almost to pessimism which pervaded "The Mountain Woman.' These stories illus trate in many ways the powers of imag ination of their author and also her bright, clever ways of expression. Alto gether her many friends and admirers will not be disappointed in this new venture of their favorite. Mrs. Peattie is editor of the department in Self Cul ture devoted to "Woman and Home, from which we quote the following in- If j'our friends from out of town visit jxm this week we n vite you to bring" them to our store. MILLER & PAINE. 'ir jSl tereeting account of Wilhelmina, queen I OMKOinooMMMtMooooooo of the Netherlands: The little queen of Holland is betroth ed to the man of her choice which is a strange and unconventional thing for a queen. Not rince Queen Victoria's pret ty love match of over halt a century ago, has there been a royal engagement like it. The pensive little lady has bad plenty of lovers. Queens always have lovers. The Duke of Saxe-Weimar, who had red hair, a lame leg and an ugly face, was willing, and he carried the re commendation of William of Germany with him. The Dutch State made several suggestions in an auguBt manner and was stirred in all its sluggish veins, when the girl shook her head at all the suitors, and herself went suing for the hand of her cousin, a lieutenant in the Third Uhlan Regiment of the Prussian Guards. In spite of this, however, he is half Dutch, which is a reconciling fact to those who revere the House of Orange. Wilhelmina U6ed to play with him when they were babies. She has never, it appears, forgotten him, or the pleasure his companionship gave her. So, acting like a queen, she chose her love, who is a good man, they say, with noble blood in his veins, and he is to help this little girl rule over Holland, and over thirty million childlike Malay subjects far over the sea. Thus far, ehe has had a rose-strewn path as queen, has little Wilhelmina. She has been in the sumptuous city of Amsterdam in gala dress in high and solemn festival and the core of it. Half-timid, hopeful, yet not without the apprehensions which are the penalty for place that all monarchs pay,' pious in thought, domestic in taste, fond, too, of gaiety and ceremonial and power, she enters upon her eerioui duties like a highborn dame, and back of her is a bulwark of love and loyalty and faith. Really, its not so bad to be a queen when one has a calm people to rule, and the right to pick one's love from among the men of earth. t-i t H00O00DattHI00OOO0OI00M0tO00 0000M0t0O 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 NEBRASKA CLUB WOMEN Jke jouner AND 2r 2r The Glub Woman C5" trrD m w 9Jr $1.25 THE COURIER contains reports from every dub in O the state except two.. jjjjj is the best club magazine pub- - THE CLUB WOMAN A QUARTER mors than the price of one will secure both for a year.

It is being continually asserted that we are under contract with Dr. Still to charge not less than 25 per month for treatment. It is also asserted by those who know notiiog of the nature of Osteopathy; who don't want to know and don't want others to know, that it is massage or Swedish movements and also a "hum bug." To disprove these assertions and to make others to disprove them, we will give one month's course of treat ments for $15.00 to all who begin before January 10th, 1899. Prominent and intelligent people who have tried Ostropathy for chronic ills, as a last resort, say they have been cured or greatly benefitted. Those whose professional interests would be better served were Ostropathy out of the way declare it a "humbug" and try to keep others from investigating it. Ostropathy is not a "cure-all."
