Work Given Up
Owing to Intense Headaches
Caused by Catarrh
Hood's Sarsaparilla Cava Relief and
Restored Sleep and Appetite.
“ I had attacks of sick headache which
were sometimes so severe I could not rest
day or night and had to quit work. The
medicines I took relieved me for a time
but when 1 began work the headaches
would return. At the same time I had
catarrh in the head and a soreness in the
bail; part of the head nearly all the time
with constant discharge from my nose.
I had very little appetite. I saw an ad-
vertisement of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I
made up my mind to try it. After tak-
ing a few bottles I felt very much better.
I can now sleep aU night and cun eat
heartily three times a day.” D.W. Wat-

THE SMALL ADVERTISER.
There seems to be an idea prevalent
that advertising is for large dealers
only. This belief has kept many a
small merchant from improving his
opportunities in this direction. Near-
ly if not all of the large retail mer-
chants of the United States have be-
come so by extensive advertising. Ihe
advertising which they have done is
not the sole cause of their success but
It has been the greatest contributing
cause. Most all large enterprises
which are successful have begun on a
small scale. Their advertising was
done in a small way but it has been
kept up day after day and year after
year. Good business methods untir-
ing industry and good advertising are
the factors which bring in business.
Do not be afraid of being overshad-
wed by the big advertiser. Many
times the well-worded reader of only
a few lines will reach the eyes of more
readers than the pretentious display of
the large store. It tells the people
you have goods to sell and what you
will sell them for. That is all the big
store can say. It is the price that sells
the goods. The dealer be he the cor-
ner grocer or the largest dealer in gen-
eral merchandise in this city who will
sell staple or special articles quality
considered for the least money and
lets the people know it. will receive the
patronage.
Every city has plenty of examples
showing how small dealers in all kinds
of merchandise have made their busi-
ness a success by means of newspaper
advertising. Take what space you
can afford contract by the year watch
it; change the matter every day and
you will soon need more room for your
store and more space in the papers.
Judicious advertising will develop any
mercantile business that has a right to
exist— Western Advertiser.
HOYTS “A TEXAS STEER.”
In Hoyt's “A Texas Steer” which al-
ways draws crowded houses is seen
the evolution of a Texas statesman
a la Roger Q. Mills masterfully por-
trayed. The play has lost none of
its old time popularity and is bound
to keep the Grand crowded. There is
less exaggeration in “A Texas Steer”
than one is accustomed to meet in a
Hoyt play and more natural fun more
laughable droll situations.. The play
is full of comical laugh provoking in-
cidents and pithy sayings and is capi-
tally acted by Katie Putnam who has
been specially engaged for the part
of “Bossy.” Will H. Bray still plays
the "Minister to Dahomey.” Herbert
E. Sears is the "Maverick Brander”
and the support includes The Bison

THE EVENING PAPER.
The larger the percentage of the cir-
culation of a paper that reaches the
home the greater the advertising
value of the paper. The paper that
goes into the home is the evening pa-
per. It is the one most largely read.
It is the woman's paper. It is. there-
fore the buyer's paper. It is the ad-
vertiser's best medium. —Ottumwa (laJ

WOMEN FIGHT DUEIS
Sanguinary Conflicts with Females
as the Principals.
How a Vienna Actress ilulned tbs
Professional Career of a Fair
Klval—An Interesilna Meeting
Heporled from Paris.
“Affairs of honor between women
were far from infrequent in Vienna 15
years ago” says a French fencing mas-
ter “and I assisted at several. I well
remember one in which the combatants
were both young and belonging to the
best society which was refought for
a very singular reason. The meeting
took place In the park attached to a
then unlet schloss a lew miles outside
the capital.
“There were four young lady friends
present who had sworn to absolute se-
crecy—and myself in addition to the
fair duelists. Well after each one had
been pinked on the body several times
apparently without the slightest in-
jury the combatants suddenly remem-i
bered that though they had removed
their dress-bodices they had not their
corsets.
“And” added the speaker with a
smile “if you knew what a mass of
steel and whalebone fashionable Vi-
ennese corsets were at all events in
those days you would not feel any
more surprise than I did at the diffi-
culty they had found in injuring one
another.
“They immediately proposed to take
the articles off but I intervened stat-
ing that honor was satisfied in the
hope that they would make it up. My
good intentions were unsuccessful as
regards the latter part as I beard after-
ward that they refought the affair at
a friend's house in dishabille when the
younger of the two was so severely
wounded that her life was despaired of.
“Many years ago there was in Vi-
enna a' beautiful woman—an actress
and one of the finest mistresses of fence
I have ever met —who picked quarrels
with quite half a dozen young de-
butantes in her profession whose beau-
THE INTERVENTION.
ty she was pleased to think might
eventually turn them into rivals.
“The disappearance of a remarkably
pretty young girl from the cafe-con-
cert stage created some comment. It
was afterward stated—l know it to be
a fact—that Fraulein Z forced a
quarrel upon her and succeeded in ir-
redeemably disfiguring the superb
shoulders of her pretty young antag-
onist.
“The poor girl had nothing of a
voice and so her chance was of course
spoiled as decollete costumes were now
out of the question and it was her love-
ly arms and shoulders which had lift-
ed her into fame with the habitues of
the cafe-concert.
•‘You see there are not a few sallcs
d'escrime in Paris where quite a con-
siderable number of the pupils are la-
dies. They come of course chiefly be-
cause fencing is so graceful a form of
exercise and so beneficial to the per-
fect development of the figure and
many of them eventually become such
experts that they might meet an oppo-
nent of considerable skill with every
chance of success.
“As recently as the commencement
of the present year I assisted at an af-
faire d’honneur in which the combat-
ants were two ladies. The meeting—-
which never came to the cognizance of
either the press or the authorities —
took place early one May morning in
the neighborhood of Suresnes.
“One of the ladies who is a mag-
nificently cool swordswoman rode
down with her second on a bicycle the
other seeking the comparative privacy
of n brougham. They both wore their
fencing costumes and fought for some
15 minutes ere one received a sufficient-
ly severe injury to satisfy honor.”
Going by Way of Spidees.
Amid the horrors of crime a kind of
suicide occurred in an lowa peniten-
tiary*a few days since which must be
considered as among the most hor-
rible things of the kind on record. A
girl under life sentence for the mur-
der of her father tried in many ways
to take her own life and finally suc-
ceeded in doing so by catching and
confining spiders for a number of days
and finally making a meal of them.
Death came promptly enough under
such provocation ns this.

The city of Baltimore has a merchant
who almost single-handed has whipped
a 410000000 street car monopoly.
The company which employs 1000
men attempted to lay a track last Au-
gust In front of Charles Moore’o drug
store.
Mr. Moore carried two chairs into
the street and sat down in one while
his wife occupied the other amid the
cheers of about 200 neighbors.
The company beat a retreat but the
chairs remained where they were
placed for about two weeks some one
occupying them day and night. Flnal-
HOLDING THE FORT.
ly Druggist Moore relaxed his efforts
and left but one chair in the street.
The company took advantage of this
and made a midnight attack on the
place.
The crowd of neighbors attracted by
the noise took a hand in the proceed-
ings and Mrs. Moore and her niece
jumped into the hole the men were
digging.
At the end of an hour’s skirmishing
the company again withdrew its forces
leaving the druggist holding the fork
In honor of the victory the neighbors
contributed two flags which were
raised above the chair forming the
rampart. Since that time some one has
remained in the chair day and night.
After holding out against the com-
pany nearly two months it gave in and
paid Druggist Moore $3OO for the right
of way over the hole.
TRUE PHILANTHROPY.
Two Tramps Resolve Most Solemnly
Not to Deprive Men of Fam-
ilies of Their Jobs.
Perhaps there are good traits about
the tramp after all. Out in Florence
Kan. a few days ago two tramps met
and held a convention to decide upon
a winter route. Both says the St.
Louis Republic agreed that they ought
to get out of Kansas as fast as freight
trains would take them.
“Do you know” said one "that it
has been almost impossible for me to
get through the country without hav-
ing to go to work? The farmers are
crying in the wilderness of wheat
fields for men to assist them in thresh-
ing wheat and they say they will not
get this ycai’s crop threshed out be-
fore Christmas. When I started out
to tramp over the country I decided
never to rob another man of his bread
and butter. 1 don't think it is right for
me to step in and beat a brother out
DISCUSSING THE SITUATION
of a job; therefore 1 shall go to my
grave feeling that 1 have performed
one good service anyway.”
The other tramp gave it as his reason
for not working that he thought it rep-
rehensible for a single man to take a
job away from a man with a family.
“That charge will never lie laid at my
door” he said. “When I am offered
work I refuse for I think men who have
wives and starving children ought to
have the preference."
Frenchman's Novel beaacy.
A gentleman who died at Mons
France left a legacy of $3000 to five
friends the money to be spent on din-
ners served in different restaurants
and at each meal a certain dish to lie
eaten and a certain wine of which he
was very fond to be drunk. Further-
more his memory was to be toasted at
dessert the five companions were to
dine in black clothes and black gloves
and enter the room preceded by a flag
nnd the music of an accordion.

BUSY ENOUGH BEING A WOMAN.
I he Failure of a New Woman to Con-
vert Her Olil-Fashlonalile Mother.
Au old woman who has not kept up
with the sex's ouwanl march and has
not changed her old ideas as to the
importance of woman in the scheme
of creation has come to spend the
winter witli her daughter iu New
York. The daughter is in the advance
guard of the triumphing host. She
belongs to dubs for the study of the
promotion of everything within sight
except domestic trainquillity. The fact
that her mother did not belong to a
club of any sort was more than she
could bear with resignation and with
her usual zeal for promoting she de-
termined to promote the happiness of
her mother by introducing her to the
joys of club membership.
She took her to meeting after meet-
ing but the mother was hard to con-
vert. She couldn't understand Brown-
ing anil she disapproved of rainy day
' skirts and principles and renaissance
sculpture bored her. and she rebelled
' outright against political science rin-
-1 ally however she succumbed to her
indomitable daughter and compro-
। mised on a reading club iu connection
with a church guild. She didn't show
much enthusiasm and when iu the
course of a few weeks she was de-
legated to write and read a paper on
“Woman's Influence Upon Church
History" she protested tearfully aud
went home in despair. Her daughter
reassured her.
“That won't be auy trouble mother
and it will interest you and stir you
up. You got your material together
and I'll help you. Now you just take
the carriage and go down to the Astor
library tomorrow. Get 'People In-
dex’ and turn to the heading ‘Wo-
man' anil you will be sure to find
something along your line."
The next morning the mother start-
ed for tin* library with a melancholy
look on her usually placid face. Two
hours later she came back and as she
walked into the family sitting room
her da lighter noted a change in her
appearance. There was a pink flush
in her cheeks; her lips were pressed
firmly together; her shoulders were
squared aggressively.
“Did you get your material. mo:;-
er?”
“No 1 didn't." The tone was crisp
and decided. "I g»t that index aid
turned to 'Woman' and I read titles
of articles about woman for two solid
hours. 1 didn't find anything about
woman in church; bin there were wo-
men in everything else. I’d never
have believed so much could lie said
about women as was in those titles
let alone the articles. I didn't get
near through. I Just stopped. I said
to myself: ‘lf all the women who
wrote these things had spent thee?
time doing practical good to the peo-
ple right around them they’d have
reformed the world.’ I made up my
mind that there’d been enough time
wasted on writing about women and
I wasn't going to squander any of
mine. I’ve found myself pretty busy
Just being a woman; and 1 want you
to understand right now Clara that
if you say club to me again I’ll go
home. Now that’s ended."
The bruised worm had turned.

Slumps and surprises characterized
tin* work of the bowlers the past week.
The Athletics took the palm in the pro-
cession to Descendeucy and it was on-
ly the closing of the books that saved
them from more disaster. The Turn-
ers suffered a shrinkage while the Ca-
sinos fattened their average by a feast
on the pangs of the Athletics. 'ihe
Turners' unbroken chain of victories
was Interrupted by a broadside from
the Missions ami the Alamos placed
themselves on even terms with the
Hayseeds in a matinee with the liar-
monys.
This week's events are as follows:
Monday—lvys vs. Harmonys.
Tuesday—Hayseeds vs. Alamos.
Wednesday—Missions vs. Casinos.
Thursday—Dramatics vs. Turners.
Friday—Athletics vs. Missions.
It is understood that the first named
an* tin* home teams in order to avoid
the naming of different alleys for the
sake of brevity. Last week's political
excitement detracted a great deal from
Alleydom and a number of games had
to be postponed. With all but the of-
ficial count over bowling will again
command the attention of Pin Knights.
The calendar forecasts some interest-
ing happenings between now and Fri-
day night. With apologies for a few
"its and “maybes” it will be seen that
the Hayseeds and Alamos are in for a
nerve strainer Tuesday night. It will
devolve upon the Casinos to take two
from the Missions but the latter are
not in a flirting frame of mind on ac-
count of their shaky position in third
place. The Dramatics may give the
Turners a surprise party and this pos-
sibility leaves a big margin for specu-
lation in bowling stock. Friday night
is another uncertainty. The Athletics
may have run their course of defeats
and begin to turn on the Missions.
But at tin* same time the Missions are
determined to go no lower than third.
Tonight the Harmonys will be the
guests of the Ivys but the Harmonys
may have a little red-fire finish them-
selves.

In the Christian Reporter says:
1 know some Christians who “donY
work at it much.” Do you?
There are two hypocrites out of th«
church for every one iu it.
He who is quick to see the flaws in
tin* characters of others should uot
forget that he too is not flawless.
Letters of introduction dated from
a saloon are hardly the credentials to
com mend a young man to confidence.
When we say immorality is a neces-
sary equipment for politics we uot
only degrade our public men but pros-
titute the sacred functions of society.
Snarling at religion effects no moral
change in the religion snarled >t.
Dogs often bark at the moon but the
moon shone just the same last night.
The church is divine. It will al-
ways live. Carping ami criticism cau
never affect her inner life.
Don't walk into temptation with
your eyes wide open and then com-
plain of "hard luck” if you get hurt.
There is no reason why a church
should have poor credit and be “slow
in pay" any more than auy business
man iu the church
Doubting doesn’t effect the truth: It
affects the effect the truth might have
upon the weak one's life if frankly
received "line upon line precept upon
precept here a little there a little.”
The church treasury is not bankrupt
by any means. It is empty however.
Unpaid pledges and arrears of sub-
scriptions are our assets. We need
the money badly ami hope every one
will get square upon the books as soon
as possible.
We have been studying some of the
practical phases of the temperance
question in our prayer meetings. The
interest has been splendid and I think
we have clearer convictions upon this
matter now than we formerly had.
The liquor traffic- is evil and only evil
and that continually ami there is but
one attitude for a Christian to assume
toward it namely that of uncom-
promising and unalterable enmity to
its every feature.
We have no “creed" but the bible.
Long long ago our forefathers an-
nounced as their rule of faith and
practice—“where the scriptures speak
we speak; where the scriptures are* sil-
ent. we are silent.” Creedism has
crumbled under the influence of truth
itself. Men are no longer required
anywhere to pass examinations in and
to subscribe to exaggerated and dis-
torted statements of doctrines called
creeds. And the religious world is
pratically if not theoretically upon
the same platform of truth which we
enunciated in breaking away from
sectarianism and creeds three-quarters
of a century ago.

SALT.
Thousands of tons of salt are used
in the dairies of this country but
whoever learned by reading an adver-
tisement which salt would Im* least
liable to produce mottles In butter and
how they might Im* avoided and what
causes them? Salt is not all ?liloride
of sodium. It contains foreign sub-
stances. -which make some brands
more desirable to feed on certain soils
than others but whoever writes salt
advertisements never seem* to have
discovered this fact. A person tak-
ing a bath would find it much more
refreshing If he were to add a sack of
table salt to the water and an ex-
tensive use for It could l*» built up iu
this way If the public were only in-
formed of it. There is much money
iu the whulesah* marketing of salt at
present figures but sometime in the
near future a live American will take
hold of this business and will danle
the whole country with the big fort-
une he will make with a properly ail-
vertised brand of salt.—Agricultural
