THAT
AWFUL
BACKACHE
Cured by Lydia E. Pinknam’s
Vegetable Compound
Horton’s Gap, Kentucky.—“l suf
fered two years with female disorders.
my health was very
bad and I had a
continual backacha
which was simply
awful. I could not
stand on my feet
long enough to cook
a meal’s victuals
without my back
nearly killing me,
and I would have
such dragging sen
satlons I could
hardly bear it. I
CAd soreness In each side, could not
■tand tight clothing, and was Irregular.
I was completely fun down. On ad
vice I took Lydia 35. Plnkham’s Vege
table Compound and Liver Pills and
am enjoying good health. It 1b now
more than two years and I have not
bad an ache or pain since Ido all my.
Own work, washing and everything,
and never have the backache any more,
I think your medicine Is grand and I
praise It to all my neighbors. If you
think my testimony will help others
you may publish it.’’—Mrs. Ou.ua
Woodall, Morton’s Gap, Kentucky.
Backache Is a symptom of organlo
weakness or derangement. If you
have backache don't neglect It. To
get permanent rellelf you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
blow of will do this so surely as Lydia

Ellen Terry’s Joke.
When Ellen Terry was presented
with a Founders’ gold medal at the
New theater. New York, recently—an
honor conferred In recognition of her
great services to dramatlo art —she
was called upon to make a speech of
acceptance. It so happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarie and
ehe was therefore forced to out her
remarks short So she told this storyi
"A friend of mine once bought a par
rot and gave much money for It with
the understanding that It oould speak
fluently, but when he reached home
with It he found to his dismay that
the bird was dumb. So he took It
back. 'This parrot cannot say a word,’
he said Indignantly to the bird fancier.
‘lt can't talk at all.' 'Talk!' the deal
er exclaimed. 'Come to think of It, I
know It can't, but It's a devil to
think.' "
Neatly Put.
The Duchess Decazes, as all the
world knows, was an American —a
daughter of the enormously rich Sin
ger family.
The duchess was once taking part In
some amateur theatricals at Ragas
when a New York girl said to her
mother:
"Is she a real duchess 7“
"Yes, my dear," the mother, a
Knickerbocker, answered. "Yea, real,
but machine made."
Violation of Rules.
’They have expelled my favorite
waiter from his brotherhood,” said
one hotel patron.
"Yes," replied the other, “he acci

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mother’s Food and Drink.
Many babies have been launched
Into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken In with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
ful as to the food they use while nurs
ing their babes.
The experience of a Kansas City
mother is a case In point:
"I was a great cofree drinker from a
child, and thought 1 could not do with
out It. But I found at last It was do
ing me harm. For years I had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain In my heart, to
which was added, two years later, a
cbronlc sour stomach.
"The baby was born 7 months ago,
and almost from the beginning, It, too.
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking It from me!
"In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk. I have since ascer
tained that It really dries up the milk.
"So, I quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the bappleßt results. It proved
to be the very thing I needed. It not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself, but It Increased the flow of
my milk.
"My husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well of
the dyspepsia with which be had been
troubled. I no longer suffer from the
dlsstness, blind spells, pain In my
heart or sour stomach.
"Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months’ old
baby. It bas proved to be the beat
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
ooffee we ever drank." Name given

TWO FAMOUS MISSOURIANS
Mrs. Nancy Harsh and Dr. Lafayette
Said to Be Oldest Residents
in the State.
Hopkins, Mo.—The photographs
herewith nre of Mrs. Nancy Harsh
and Doctor Lafayette, the oldest reflD
dents of this place, and without (
doubt the oldest residents In the state
of Missouri, Mrs. Harsh being nearly
one hundred and one years old and
Doctor Lafayette nearly ninety-two
years old.
Mrs. Nancy Harsh was born June
15, 1810, at Washington, Pa., and is
a very remarkable old lady. Mrs.
Harsh Is at present as bright as any
young person, being interested In all
the leading topics of the day and a
great reader. She Is very active for
one of her age and attends church
occasionally, being able to walk the
distance from her home to the place
of worship. She once refused a kiss
from the Marquis de Lafayette. He
was making a tour of the United
States and came to her town in the
year 1824. She was chosen as one of
the 12 girls to scatter roses as he en
tered the village. He approached the
maidens and in his courtly French
manner kissed one after another un-

til he came to Miss Nancy, who mod
estly refused to allow the familiarity,
ns she considered it.
Dr. Lafayette, also a resident of
Hopkins, was born at Lyons/France,
in 1819. In 1850 he came to the Unit
ed States and when the war of the
Rebellion broke out he enlisted, being
a regimental surgeon with the rank
of captain, and served with great
honor to his adopted country. He Is
a very active old gentleman and does
his own work with the ease of a per
son much younger. He may be seen
outside his home almost any day
chopping wood and doing other chorea
and making trips to and from town.
In the slimmer he may be seen mow
ing the yard or working among liis
flowers and orchard. He is a great
lover of nature.
ELK THAT CLEAR THICKETS
Arkansas Herd Found to Be More
Valuable Than Goats, As
Browse Higher.
Eureka Springs, Ark. —Attempts to
preserve the elk from extinction
through domestication has been un
dertaken by private ownership of
small herds in several different places
In the United States. Mr. George W.
Boss, who recently had a herd of
thirty four, has found them valuable
In clearing out thickets. In this work
they are better than goats, since they
browse higher. The two animals get
along well together and in the style
of the Jack Spratt family the work
Is well done. Mr. Ross says:
“We find from long experience that
cattle, sheep and goats can be grazed
in the same lot with elk, provided
the lots or lnclosures are not small.

call attention to the great benefits of
a few elk in the same pant tire with
sheep and goata.
'An elk la the natural enemy of
doga and wolves. We suffered great
losses to our flocks until we learned
this fact; since then we have had no
loss from tint cause. A few elk In

COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
DOINGS
Mine Inspecting Bill.
The new mine inspection bill, which
is for the better inspection of Colo
rado coal mines, was originally drawn
by a commission appointed by the gov
ernor and was intended to guard ef
fectually against mine disasters. Cer
tain provisions of the bill, as original
ly drawn have been altered and ser
ious plans have been found in it
Originally it was decided that a tax
of one-half cent upon every ton of
coal mined would be sufficient to pay
for inspection. This was the way the
bill was originally drawn by the com
mission. This tax was not sufficient,
however, and it was doubled by orders
from the governor. The bill now pro
vides for a tax of one cent a ton upon
every ton of coal mined in the state,
making a revenue of about $120,000
annually. The bill provides for one
chief inspector at a salary of $3,000,
seven deputy inspectors at a salary of
$2,000, one electrical inspector at the
same salary, and two office employes
at a total salary of $2,700. This is
eleven officials without including the
board of examiners appointed in a
most peculiar manner, and who, if the
bill remains in its present form, would
apparently draw' a salary of $6 a day
lor a term of four years. The bill as
it now reads states that these examin
ers shall receive $6 a day and their ex
penses.
Senate bill No. 16, by Senator Hilts,
which creates a state auditing board
and fixes its powers and duties, was
passed on second reading, as was also
House bill No. 28, by Representative
McCarty. This Is one of the series
of Brake bills now pending in House
and Senate. This bill requires all per
sons operating steam engines of more
than 5-horse power to take out a li
cense as stationary engineer. A num
ber of amendments tending to so
change the nature of thei bill so that
it would not be necessary for a farm
er or person operating a small en
gine on their ow n premises to become
a licensed engineer were added to the
bill.
The Senate passed a resolution call
ing upon governor Shafroth to secure
a conference of the business interests
of the Western states to be held in
Denver next summer. The object of
the resolution is to secure the control
of public lands from the federal gov- >
ernment, and place it under the jur
isdiction of the state.
Party lines were wholly abandoned
in the discussion in the House when 1
Senate bill No. 14, by Skinner, came ;
up for discussion. This bill provides
lor an amendment to the state const!- \
tution by which reservoirs, owned by!
private individuals or corporations I
that use the water on their own lands
shall be exempt from separate taxa
: tion. Early in the debate, it became
plain that representatives from the
• mountain counties and from counties
in which there are reservoirs from
which water was taken for use in oth
er counties, were bitterly opposed to
the bill.
The total amount of funds sought
to be appropriated by the several bills
introduced in the present assembly is
over twenty-two million, five hundred
thousand dollars, or thirty dollars for
every man, woman and child in the
! state.
| The finance committee, in its re
| port caused gloom to settle down in
i he office of clerk of the Supreme
• Court. The majority of the commit
tee recommended a decrease of sal
ary for the clerk and assistant clerks.
The alary of clerk of the court, who
now receives $3,500 per annum, will be
cut to $3,000 and the assistant clerk
from $3,000 to $2,500. The deputy clerk
instead of enjoying an increase in
salary from $2,000 to $2,500, will get
no more nor less.
Senator West's bill, fixing the terms
of court in the Sixth judicial district;
Representative Madden's bill, provid
ing for the registration of the names
of farms and ranches, and Senator
Napier's bill appropriating $600 as a
payment of a part of the expense of
j the free traveling libraries, were
passed.
With amendments submitted to the
Senate Judiciary committee by repre
sentatives of the Denver Bar Associa
tion, substituting the writ of error for
all appeals and fixing the jurisdiction
more definitely, the Gove bill re-estab
i lishing the court of appeals was fav
i orably reported to the Senate and will
be placed on the calendars of both
Houses for enactments. The proposed
new court, under the provisions of the
amended bill, as outlined at a special
meeting of the lawyers on the judi
ciary committee and the representa
tives of the Denver and Colorado
Springs Bar Associations, will be com
posed of five judges to be appointed
by the governor and to possess the
same qualifications and receive the
same salaries as Judges of the Su
preme Court.
Representative Porteous, Wal
bridge and Gardner and Senators
Cross and Carey have been named as
members of the Legislative commit
tee, which Is to Investigate the state
stock inspection board.
The bill which provides that Judges
and clerks of election shall receive $6
for the first twelve hours they work
and $2.60 for each day or fraction of a
day thereafter, was defeated. As it Is
now, the clerks and Judges In most of
the counties of the state receive only
$240 a day.

COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION
“I have been using Cutlcura Soap
and Cutlcura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. It began by my no

face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think any*
thing of them until they began to get
■caly and dry and to itch and burn
until I could not stand the suffering.
Then I began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. I went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. I lost many nights’ sleep In con
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
ing till I drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started In to use
ttie Cutlcura Remedies and in two
