COMMENTV'AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
i
Even dense man has probably noticed
how much larger women’s waists ap-
pear to be nowadays. The least
dense of men and not every woman,
however, are perhaps aware of the- rea-
son for it. ' %
It’s all on account of the small sleeves,
particularly those which, fitting with-
out a pucker to the shoulders, leave
the waist line and the shoulder line
with no distinction between them, save
that which nature has bestowed.
This puts a terrible responsibility
upon nature, and it is one which only
the most perfectly proportioned figures
can stand. Even then, with the mem-
ory of the recent big sleeves in our
minds, the effect of any waist, however
slim naturally, is larger than it used to
be.
The excessively big sleeves had their
faults, but making the waist look small
wasn’t one of them, while the moder-
ately big sleeves lent a grace to many
a narrow-shouldered or wide-waisted
figure that no other fashion in history
could have brought about. One’s first
impulse nowadays upon seeing a woman
whom you last saw big sleeved is to re-
mark upon how thin she has growu;
then you realize that it is not she, but
the sleeves that have changed.
“All my new frocks are somewhat un-
becoming,”complained a woman the
other day. “ They’re made in the lat-
est fashion, and both dressmaker and
myself spent hours in planning them,
but for all that they’re unbecoming,
and its just because of the skin-tight
sleeves making my shoulders and waist
look the same size.”
Another woman declares that small
sleeves have returned too soon. “It was
such a little while ago when they were
so shockingly old-fashioned,” she says.
“ Most of the smart frocks one sees this
fall have the air of being old things
hauled out again after a seven years’
exile.”

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub-
lic to know that one concern in the
land who are not afraid to be generous
to the needy and suffering. The pro-
prietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness, and all diseases of the throat,
Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it.
Call on Druggist, John A. Riggs, 11
Main street, and get a free trial bottle.
Regular size 500. and $1. Every bottle
guaranteed, or price refunded. '

Feminine Chat.
A screen is the white lie of house-
hold furnishing.
The endeavor to do rig ht is the true
sunshine of life.
A clean matting is superior to a
soiled carpet, even in winter.
The exactness of some men make
liars of the most honest women.
Sleep is a greater beautifier than all
the oils and skin foods ever concocted.
A woman and a time-table is a, com-
bination that has never been known to
agree.
The perfumery some actresSes use is
as far reaching as the notices of their
advance agents. ‘
It is only the very young who believe
that the bitter experiences of life will
never touch them. _ ‘
The Christmas shows in the shops
will be on hand before many have set-
tled their bills for last year’s gifts.
If a food show—~wh y not a drink show?
or are the wobbly men on the streets
considered quite enough show in this
line ?
To win back afriend that was thought
lost is a rare joy, but one that seldom
falls to the lot of quarrelsome human
kind.

LITTLE HAMPERED BY BLINDNESS: I
Remarkable Things Done by a. Sightleu
Manln the Hoosier State.
John Walther, who lives within two
miles of Clinton, Ind., has been blind
from birth. Until he reached man
hood John lived on the farm with
his father, and it was not uncommon
to see him driving to the city with a
load of corn, wheat or other farm pro
duce. A piece of ground was given
to him, and each year he would plani
and cultivate a big garden, which he
would market in Clinton and place
the proceeds to his credit in the bank.
He would buy horses, cattle and hogs
Even when a boy he was regarded
as a good trader. .It is now a com-
mon occurrence for John to stop in
the middle of the road and trade
horses with some jockey, and it is
said that he is never worsted. He
Will go to any part of his fathor’l
large farm, unattended, in search of
a truant horse or cow. and his
searches are usually successful. How
he manages to distinguish the stock
for which he is searching is a ques-
tion which puzzles everybody, and a
mystery which the blind man himself
cannot or does not explain.
When he decides to. come to town
he goes to the woods and, with ap-
parently as little difficulty as a man
blessed with two good eyes, selects
his favorite horse frOm perhaps a
dozen grazing in the pasture. He has
each season for years made a hand
in the harvest field, and the farmers
regard him as one of the fastest and
most reliable wheat “Shockers” in the
neighborhood. It was three years ago
during harvest that the blind man’s
brother became entangled in the ma-
chinery of a harvester and suffered a
broken arm. As soon as the accident
occurred John started on a run from
we field to ithe barn and began
tching a.- team to a spring wagon.
He worked rapidly, and when the
men bore the injured man to the
house the blind boy had the team
hitched up, driven out in the road and
ready to start with his brother to a
doctor in the city. He drove almost
at breakneck speed, made the turns
of the streets after reaching the city,
and brought his horses to a standstill
in front of a doctor’s office. After as-
sisting the wounded brother up the"
stairway into the office he drew out
his watch, slid his index finger quick—
ly around the dial, and with a sigh,
remarked, “Just half past 10—I was
only twelve minutes driving to town.”
There is no work on the farm that
the blind man can not do, and during
his idle times he builds and repairs
fences. He can lay the “worm” for a
rail fence as well as any man, and
prides himself on the rapid manner
in which he gets along with the work.
He built a plank fence along the
gravel road in front of the W'aither
house. The line is perfectly straight,
while the workmanship on the fence
and gates is not excelled by many
men who can see and profess to be"
carpenters. '
England’s Good Wishes. :
The brotherly feeling. shown by
Great Britain for America is. not en-
tirely an outgrowth of our .war with
Spain, but was most touchi-ngly ex-
pressed a score of years awe by the
English novelist, W..Cl~ark _ il, in
“The Wreck of the Grosvenor," where
in chapter thnt-y-seven, in telling
his story in the first person, Joe gym
a most vivid description of thcgslowv
sinking of the ship he was in Middle
anxiety with which he looked for a
rescuing sail.
He describes the joy on sighting an
approaching bark, and, after telling
how “she brought her bows astern of
us,” he writes:—
“At the same moment She hoisted
Russian colors. I was bitterlydisap-
(pointed when I saw the flag. ‘I should
have been equally disappointed by the
Sight of any other foreign flag, unless
it were the Stars and Stripes, which
floats over brave hearts and is a signal
to English-men as full of welcome and
promise. almost, as their own loved bi:
of hunting.”

anTén Should Knfili.
Many women sufl’er untold agony and
'misery because the nature of their dis-
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills
that beset womankind. .
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
pufiy or dark circles under the eyes.
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing-
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup-
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or, burn-
ing sensation, sediment in it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
The show symptoms are often at-
tributed by the patient herself, or by
her physician, to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to
obtain relief, because they are treating
not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney
trouble.
In fact. women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.

great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
