There is no reason why childbirth itself shouldbring a feeling of dread to the mother. Nature does nothing wrong. It is the abuse of nature by wrong living, lack of exercise, ill-fitting clothes, that brings about the tortures of childbirth. Perfectly healthy women go through the oreloal wish comparative ease.

Some Everyday Heroes-That Brave Boy, gSpeck"-A .'Brass Collar Democrat" ands Hero in Texas Politles-A Hard Sum to Work-Two Gentlemen From Kentucky. (Copyright, 15.) You maybe mought not think it to hear me talk and from my general ap pearments, but I have seensome genuine, thor oughbred heroes in my day and generation. Now I don't mean generals and captains and Spresidents, and governors but plain, everyday heroes, which have come down from the highristoc racy of honest hearts and hard knuckles. Some Heroic Boys. In my growin up and bruisin round I have seen many and many a cotton headed, gander-legged, hatchet-faceted yearlin boy that was every inch a hero. I hold to the doctrine that a boy which will git up with the sun on a raw frosty mornin, when the weather is cold enough to freeze the tail off of a brass monkey, and chop the wood and fetch in the water, and tote out the slops and feed the stock, and drive up the cows and rope off the calves, and never com plain or get out of sorts-that boy is a hero. And I likewise also think that a boy which can pull the bell cord over a blamed old lazy mule, on a long, hot summer day in a new ground full of stumps, and still use nothin but Bible language-by gatlins I know that boy is a hero. Oncst upon a time I saw a boy hero in school, and I remember the general circumference of the surroundins as Ibright and clear as if it was yesterday. It was whilst Miss Susy Tolliver was teachin of the school over at the Cross Roads. One mornin a youngster, with red hair and a freckly face, come in from somewheres back in the hill coun try. He give in his name Johnny Led better and said he was nine years old past, ten next grass. There was more pure, honest devilment in that boys' face than I have ever saw done up into one little package. We boys called him "Speck" for short and owin to the sun dry different shades and colors of his countenance. Well, Speck he had plenty of sense, but it didn't run very much to books. Miss Susy didn't give out any lessons to him on the first day. She slipped the bridle, as it were, and let him have the run of the grounds till he could wear the new off. But the next mornin she made him trot out his blue back speller and come down to his knittin reglar. He I had to start in with his A. B. C.'s, and when he went forth to say his first les son every eye in school was turned on e Speck. But he stood the fire like a man, and never flickered nor floundered, nor - flinched. He come through smooth and easy on the first letter, but struck a snag on the second. w "What makes the honey that you w eat?" says Miss Sasy. ar "B," says Speck, quick' as lightnin. fr "That's right," says Miss Susy. sa "What do you do with your eyes?" m says Miss*Susy when Speck struck the "1 next snag. "C," says Speck, with a loud voice and a proud smile. T "Correct, my little man. You'll be a of scholar by-and-by," says Miss Susy. at Well, they went on at that lick till gi finally at lastthey got down to G, and a; Speck he backed into another snag. "When your father starts to plow, tl anid wants his horse to go to the right, a; what does he say?" ask Miss Susy. g, "He don't plow no horse," says Speck, "he plows a steer.n Well, when he wants the steer to go p, to the right what does he say?" says t1 Miss Susy. And then Speck he stepped back and o spraddled his legs and drawed his face up till it looked like a pine knot on b fire, and sung out atthe top of his voice: s5 "G-e-e t-h-e-r-el you dadburned old wabbledy-legged, slab-sided, razor-back ti son-of-a-gun." b Man sir, the school then broke loose with the most terriblest confusement you ever read about, and I thought in o my soul Miss Susy would faint and fall e over in it. But Speck had answered the question and went through with all the r motions besides, and you couldn't blame ' him for that. It took nerve to do it, i but Speck was a hero, and in the run of v time he turned out to be the brightest t scholar in that school. r A Hard Sum to Work. a Oncst upon a time a stranger driv up c to the Buckalew place to spend the s night. In them days they use to keep f a stage stand and run a public eatin house at the Buckalew place. When c the stranger driv up that day the old 9 man sent Nick Buckalew, which he was the onlyest boy on the place, out to the gate to take the horse and tend to him. t And when Nick showed up the stranger, 4 which it seems like he had nibbled at his bottle till he was about six bits in the dollar, went on to say: "Young man, extricate that quad ruped from the vehicle, stabulate him, donate to him an adequate supply of 1 nutritious aliments, and when the au- i L rora of mornin shall onest more en 'a lighten the eastern horizon I will award i thee a pecuniary compensation for thine rs amiable hospitality." Well, Nick he ran back into the house and told the old man that there a was a Dutchman out there that wanted to see him. The old man and Nick and i amongst 'em got the stranger to put it M downi in writin, and after be left every 0 body in the settlement put in and tried - to figger out what he was drivin at when S he made that speech to Nick Buckalew. IN The old man is dead and gone now, but . Nick is still livin and wi, derin what that stranger meant, and whethero he was drunk or crazy. A "Brass Collar Democrat." But I took my seat with pen in hand to write a few lines concernin everyday heroes. And itcomea to mind now that I met a grown man in Texas oncst that was somethin of a hero I had landed that mornin in a little railroad tow way up there clost to the Red river. It was election day, and as usual the State had went a windin for the Democratio ticket. After supper that night the brass band turned out and the boys pro ceeded to paint the town red and put on some extra touches and fancy trimmins. I had went down town to see the show out, and the man come up to me whoopin with every breath for the winnin ticket. He was then about three sheets in the I wind and the other one a-flutterin, but he had somethin to talk with and he went on to talk. "It takes a man with a backbone as big as a gatepost, stranger, to be honest in politics. And when a man runs off on the wrong trail, and then turns round and comes back to the old lick lock, flat-footed and ereot, you can bet your Sunday boots he is brave as seven teen lions in a pack. "Look at me, stranger, and you see a Texas hero in the flesh. Two years ago I took the cold water route and went off with the White Ribbon Army. For three months I was in the fight for the prohibition ticket. Of course I didn't know what a tremendius big gob of toil and trouble and worriment I had bit off, but I took it for my own personal busi ness to reform the fallen human race from the Red river to Mexico. I went out on the plains and down in the forks of the creek and rallied the boys to the best of my ability. I took in thirty-six big dinners and made twenty-seven stump speeches for the dry ticket. But it was vanity, stranger-perfect vanity. When election day come and the re turns rolled in, the great State of Texas was wet, and the white flag of the White Ribbon Army floated off down the snaggy fork of Salt river. "Oncst more this year I went forth preachin the doctrine of retrenchment and reform, and I have now fit, bled and died under the flag of the Third party. But the fly-wheels and the side-shows don't work worth a contiitential in Texas, stranger. I can say this much for the Third "party and the White Ribbon Army, stranger, and when I tell you that, the song is sung and the story is told: They can hold the biggest meetins, and git up the finest dinners, and turn out the longest processions, and reel off the most music, and then return the durndest most fewest votes of all the political parties in the round created world. "So finally at last, stranger, I made a cross-mark and spit in it and turned round and come back. When you look at me now you see a brass collar Demo crat. Do you know what we ipean out here in Texas when we call a man a brass-collar Democrat?" It so happened that I didn't know, and the man went on to tell me. "Well, I don't know how it is back there in the States, stranger, but out here in the great and growin State of Texas a brass collar Democrat is a man that never refused a drink nor scratched a ticket." The Hogg Man Was Weary. Talkin about Texas and Texas poli tics, I recollect a good one that come to pass one day on a railroad train some wheres between Hillsboro and Fort Worth. It was only a few days after the State convention met in Houston, and the war between the Hogg men and the Clark men was goin on fast and 3 furious. It ain't for me to say which was right and which was wrong. I 1 was then a stranger in a strange land, and somethin like a thousand miles from Rocky Creek. But the Hogg men said the Clark men had bolted, and they -~ _)~ rr.. -,A..4 ..,44 +,,.., made the air red-hot with the cry of "bolters." The train stopped at a little station rad a strappin big man got on board. The car was crowded to standin room only, the weather hit was meltin hot, and the big man was tanked pp to the guards with "spirits-of-cats-a-fightin," as Blev Scroggins were want to sayi But you could look at him and tell that he was a Hogg man. It stuck out as plain as a painted horse rack in his general appearments. "Fellow citizens," said the big man presently, whilst sweatin great drops of perspiration, "is there a Clark man in this car?" "Yes, sir," said a passenger at the other end of the car; "I am a Clark man." "Well, dadburn you, bolti" said the big man. "I'm weary and want your seat." But the other man didn't bolt, and took fifteen passengers and the conduc tor to prevent the spillin of human blood. Tro Men From Kentucky. One thing brings up another, as the old lady said when she took a dost of epecac. Oncst upon a time I was ridin on a railroad train through Tennessee. There was a mule drover on board and he had a bottle of corn whisky-"white Sink," as Andy Lucas would call it. He went down into his saddle bags and t brought fgrththe bottle, buthe couldn't pull the stopper. He broke both blades outof his knife and turned red in the face and cussed, but the stopper wouldn't come. Finally at last he stood up and said: "I would love to ask if there is a man P from Kentucky on this train?" n "I am from Kentucky," said a man n on the other side, as he rose up and I stood full six feet in his socks. "Well, by gad, sir, loan me your corkscrew." e Then they shook hands and passed the bottle round. Rurus SANDERS.

Something About Morpilne, Sulphur, N- o0 lasses and Other Things. ' From the Evening News, Newark, N. J. Among the popular society leaders in East Orange, N. J., Emma L. Stoll, a charm ing young maiden, stands in the foremost t. rank. She is of a lovable disposition and t the light of the social set in which she a moves. For two years she has been a sick o girl from internaltroubles peculiar to wom- d en, and having recently recovered, has given our reporter thefollowing interesting account: "Instead of improving under the care of my physician I became worse. For five t weeks I was unable to get out of bed and about six o'clock each morning I suffered d horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated - from the marks of my teeth, for in my ef- - forts to keep from screaming I sunk my teeth deep into my lips. At such times I rolled and tossed until the bed shook like an aspen leaf and it finally got qo serious thAt the doetor--Iwodi't tell ou his name- f gave me some morphine pills to take. The c very thought of them now makes me shiver. These morphine pills simply putme to sleep for awhile and when I became conscious C again my agony was renewed. t "The pain in my stomach and back was t more than I could stand. 'Your blood is c poor,' said the doctor, 'take sulphur and meo lasses,' and I did until itwas a great wonder I that I was not a molasses cake. It was tibme 1 wasted in taking it because I was not bene- I fited in the least; my suffering continued, but by a mighty effort after being in bed so a long, Igot up. Oh, but I was a sad sight s then. From 711 pounds, I had fallen to ninety; my cheeks were pale and sunken f and I'limled; yes, aetually hobbled from the extreme pain in my side. Then I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the testimonial in the Newst inspired me with hope. I got the pills and took them. c Before many days I began to improveand before I had finished one box I felt as if I could go out and walk for miles. I soon t stopped limping and through the Pink Pills i I soon bid good-bye to my headaches while the pain in my stomach and back slowly but surely succumbed to the influence of these pills that seem to be able to persuade I all pain to leave one's body. Now 1 am as I used to be; ivell and strong, light-hearted and merry but neverwithout the pills. See I have got some of them now," and from a nearby desk she handed out one of the boxes, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con- I densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressons, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising fromnmental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for V1.50, and maybe had of all druggists, or direct by mail frqn Dr. Williams' Med olne Company, Schenectady, N. Y. FASHION'S FICKLE FANCY. What It Is Decreed rair Women Shall Wear. Thie popularity of self-colored cloth dresses remains unimpaired, and it is no wonder, since the material lends it self to. most kinds of trimming, and is always in excellent taste. A becoming costume has a very f -plaited front, with collar of whitea f f fon, and an ecru sailor collar, ery f broad squared ends, and ban of ecru on either side of'the lielisse, whic seem like a continuance of the collar. Scrupulously dainty housekeepers a now reverting to the old-fashioned cus tom of folding away sprigs of lavender among the linen in their presses. Deli cate muslins and silks are folded away in lavender, the sprigs of which may be easily grown in any garden. An odd invention tends to do away - with the danger of losing- bne's wrap when hung up at a restaurant or even £ in a dressing-room. It is in the form of t a self-locking hook, which must be e opened with a key to release the gar I ment. It is an "English device, and a should fill a long-felt want. Some of the newest ribbons are woven t in patterns called the "'Spanish" or a gypsy. The brilliant mixtures chiefly e prevail. These ribbons are decidedly r; fashionable, but scarcely pretty; the e devices and colorings are very gay, but cruder and more striking than the dainty Dresden and Pompadour rib P bons. SChinchilla will be one of the most fashionable furs of the winter. The fact has already raised the price of it considerably. Some women prefer chinchilla to all other 4ir, because, as alleged, it is impossible to successfully' imitate it. Therefore, it can never be "common." A beautiful new collarette and ruche is made of fine, shining silk, as soft a texture as chiffon in the richest black plissed and then box-plaited. It is com posed of three collars, each one a trifle narrower than the other, and the whole is finished off by a large ruche that reaches above the ears and nestles into the hair in the most fascinating way. Two long stole ends of black satin rib bon hang down in front. The very large loops and bows so long attached to the neckbands of our gowns are discarded by fashion leaders, al though still very popular with the ma jority of well-dressed women. The stock tie, with ends fatting either from the back or directly under the chin, replaces, with the former minority, a fashion that has maintained for a long time an extraor4inary popularity.--N. Y. Post. The Frequency of Earthquakas. In the "Memoires" of the Russian Ge ographical society has just been -pub lished an important catalogue of earth quakes that have occurred In China, Sibe.la, Central Asia and Russia, and other places. The catalogue contains a list of about 2,400 separate earth quakes, which occurred in 560 different localities, from 596 B. C. till A. D. 1887. Out of them, 710 took place in China, 549 in East Siberia, 36 in West Siberia, 262 in Central Asia, 590 in Caucasia, 121 in Asia Minor and North Persia, and 188 in European Russia. The frequeney of earthquakes may be represented as having been 640 in each 100 years in Caucasia, 310 in China, 290 in East Si beria and Turkestan, 138 in Middle and South Russia, and 18 only in North Russia, Finland and the Baltic prov inces. As to their frequency during the different seasons of the year, the figures show that, while in Siberia anid Central Asia earthquakes are more fre t quent in autumn and winter than in spring and summer, the proportion is d reversed for China and Cancasia- n Chicago Inter Ocean. d, Oet ±Id at'once of the atini, festering s `til , 'BURNS OR CALDS or else twli' lea 8e ly ssmU~. iet.uidm _________ST JAORS OIL .leru~r~~~iui~?Y;I"~'~:"7~i;s14 O =,_ $. -When we see orashing past us that enormous mass of iron and wood called the vestibule train, we are prone to wonder at the wide diference between the construction of this train and that of a bicycle.
