THE FASHION OF THE DAY Old raspberry color is most modish to select for one's dressy afternoon cloth costume, and it may be toned down by dark wrap and furs. Pink hats for evening are seen a-many, and we feel moved to make forecast that the fashionable hat for late winter, the tiin, when folk are tired of the chapeau that has got worn and dragged, will be the pink beaver adorned with green leaves and Parma violets. Pink for evening dress is lovely this year. Recently there was worn at a restaurant dinner a charming creation of pale pink and pale yellow, the material shot silk. The trimming consisted of little touches of pale pink velvet. The chemisette was sheer lace over pink chiffon, and close about the neck lay two strands of pale coral beads. Another gown we think worthy of description was one that could be copied with old material about the house, or rather the lining might be. The outside was black chiffon, which of course would have to be new and fresh; the foundation was black satin. A band of silver braid bordered the skirt. The girdle was of silver, and there was a silver-embroidered chiffon scarf draped as a fichu. Such a dress as this would be stunning for the girl with shining raver tresses.

And so that more go gown. B are small they den Our ill elaborate copied eo show the dress. N shoulders length at the drap is of late remainin For Gay Winter Festivities For Gay Winter Festivities From now on until Leaton penitential days society will be on the move, which means there will be a lot of good clothes needed, that madam and maid will have to look well to their finery if they would make a brave show. At the beginning of the season we wondered how the short-sleeved fashion would eventually be worked out, and have been considerably surprised at the ease with which the matter has been solved. The long gloves of the winter, those meant for street wear, are of a thickness and warmth that leave nothing to be desired; and the season through we have noticed the lady of the abbreviated sleeve going about with no appearance of chill or discomfort. Leather is very close and snug, you know; take a heavy sort and there is small need for the fur wristlets prophesied some time ago. But let us speak of evening fripperies. The design given here is one intended for the woman who cannot indulge in decolleté, must eschew the evening dress. The thin lace chemise is lined first with pale pink silk and over this comes pale pink chiffon. The gown itself is of soft white satin; that is, skirt and deep bodice are; the upper part of the waist is of embroidered net. The sleeves are trimmed with frills of lace to match the chemise. The fichu effect and high corset are particularly becoming to a slender form. For evening dress we notice return to decorations for the hair: a return we cannot wholly approve, because so many women do not know how to put on bow and wreath, succeed only in spotting their appearance, in looking as if they had tried too hard. Fluffy bits of tulle may now be seen perched on the tresses, and sometimes ribbon flowers are employed. The safest thing, however, for the woman in doubt is to wait until this is a more assured fashion. The short skirt is vanishing, save for strict utilitarian wear. Last year the richest velvets and filimest chiffons were made short; this year the pendulum is swinging back. But sensibly adhere to the properstyle forourting dress, do try to have enough strength of will not to go back to the slavish days when every woman, no matter what her station in life, what her requirements, went along with her arm wearlessly hanging on to a train or At ball and rout nowadays one is in doubt whether the ladies have on regulation evening gowns or whether they are appearing in tea-gowns supposed to be for home wear only; so much like the old-fashioned negligee appear the empire dresses of the present. These dresses, however, are really made by artists, are not simple house gowns. The fronts of the skirts are gored to give them style, and after one has looked twice one decides they are very graceful and proper gowns for the public eye. Soft velvetteens make up beautifully for these, and can be obtained in delectable shades. Without doubt the empire modes will greatly affect spring styles. And speaking of the future reminds us that it is going to take more and more goods to make the fashionable gown. Bodies are close-fitting, sleeves are smaller, but oh, the skirts! the way they demand material. Our illustration may seem rather elaborate, but the models need not be copied exactly, we simply desire to show the prevailing styles in evening dress. Note the wide, but not sloping shoulders of the empire gown, and the length and voluminousness of the skirt. The draped bole of the second model is of latest mode, and also that of the remaining figure. demi-train. As yet, we are rejoiced to say, the very long skirt has not affected tailor-made gowns for street wear. The long cloak, now the mode, allows that light and summery apparel be worn in the daytime; and afternoon reception and studio tea presents an appearance of midsummer; the light silks, the lingerie waist, the filmy white frocks reminiscent of veranda gayeties. Our houses are so hot it is a style that is refreshing both to beholder and beheld. And we notice that the silk shirt wrist shirt have been worn all winter, the warm separate wrap of heavy cloth making them ideal for shopping and morning lecture. ELLEN OSMONDE Escape.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 26, 1905. Senator Charles Dick, M. C., Washington, D. C. Dear Senator: About ten days ago I sent you a marked copy of my paper containing your comment on the president's message, and an editorial note it. At the time I intended to send personal communications to personal thanks to those expressed in my paper, but pressure of business and absence from the city have delayed it until the present. That part of the comment to which I have special reference was of far more moment to my people of this country than many will feel on the first reading. That is why I felt that you were entitled to a personal expression from all those who really appreciated your comment. Very truly yours. HARRY C. SMITH. GEN. CHARLES DICK United States. Senate, Washington, D. C., Dec. 21, 1905. Hon. H. C. Smith. Editor The Gazette Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor The Gazette: Mear Dear Sir. One esteemed favor of recent date was duly received, and I was pleased to note the kind words of commendation contained in it, as well as in the articles appearing in a recent issue of your paper, which were also noted with special interest. I agree with you most decidedly as to the importance of the subject particularly referred to, and am gratified to know that the attitude I have for a long time maintained concerning the questions involved has the approval of yourself and your people. With kind regards and best wishes for the holiday season, I remain very truly yours. CHARLES DICK. KELLY "FIRED!" Williams & Walker the Cause of the Act. BOB TERRELL CONFIRMED.

There is no class of people who give as much for a dollar as we do and get as little for it—Indianapolis Freeman, "Ain't it so?" Hon. John P. Green is to write a book on "Toussaint L'Ouverture," for which he has been gathering material for several years. Eph Thompson, an Afro-American recently from Europe, is on the vaudeville stage "with the greatest trained elephants in the world." Squire (not "Judge") Bob Terrell, of Washington, D.C., has been confirmed by the senate. President Roosevelt reappointed him recently.

With the assistance of several members of their old company they are presenting the detective scene from "In Dahomey." Mrs. Ada Overton, the wife of George Walker, of the Williams and Walker combination, continues to have great success in vaudeville with her ten "Abyssinian Maidens," while Geo. Catlin tours with "Chinese" men in a new act. Williams' wife opened a new production at a New York theatre on the 21st. All these were members of the Williams and Walker "Abyssinia" Co.

A Son of Hon. Frederick Douglass, Says His Mother Saved the Money and that the Second Wife (white) Lived in Luxury. Washington, D. C. —The following letter was recently sent to the Atlanta (Ga.) Voice of the Negro by Mr. Douglass of this city: Mr. Editor, Dear Sir: In an article by Mr. Archibald Grimke, of Boston, Mass., the following number appears in Cedar Hill, the home of Frederick Douglass, and his widow, Helen Douglass: "She paid out of her small fortune to the heirs of Mr. Douglass about $15,000 to acquire complete title to the property. She denied herself food and proper clothing, and in many ways denied herself, that Cedar Hill might become to her husband's memory what Mr. Vernon is to the memory of Washington." The above is pure fiction. Mrs. Helen Douglass, prior to her marriage, worked for her living, but after her marriage she enjoyed a life of leisure and luxury to the date of her death. She traveled in Europe for a year or more with her husband. She knew every luxury in the home while he lived, and at his death received immediately $10,000 in cash payment, and another payment of $1,500 as administrator's fee, though she performed no service—my brother, Lewis H. Douglass, performing all of his duties, as well as providing her with bondsmen. Mrs. Douglass occupied Cedar Hill free of rent until she purchased it from the children of Mr. Douglass. After that, she paid no taxes on the place, neither did she spend a dollar in keeping it in proper repair, but she did put a trust upon it for $5,000 and turned it into a board of the house, the board coming into the possession of Mrs. Douglass, after my father's death, she had a dower interest in another residence which brought her $27,500 monthly, horse and carriage, $2,000 in cash in compromise of a suit for $10,000 in bonds, a valuable unit on Capitol Hill, besides the entire contents of Cedar Hill came to her by the terms of the will, and at her death she was able to will not, only Cedar Hill, but money and valuables to her friends and relatives and at, the same time held stock in the wireless telegraphy enterprise. These are undeniable facts and I make them because of the reflection sought to be cast upon Mr. Douglas' heirs that his widow was allowed to want for food and raiment. Mrs. Douglas had no other living soul to provide for but herself, and she was left by my father with ample means to maintain through life. If soacr, they were even more than Mrs. Douglas, they were made from the savings of Mrs. Douglas first. CHARLES R. DOUGLASS. WE HOUSE FEBRUARY NEXT. Mrs Roosevelt. tionally well balanced young lady.

Happy New Year! Santa Claus was very good indeed to the editor and we trust he was equally so if not more kind and thoughtful to each of our readers. The year 1905 is drawing to a close. Close your account with The Gazette if you owe it anything and start the new year right. The proposition to form a supreme federation of national Afro-American organizations is not a "closed incident" because every one with an ounce of sense knows that it was never an open one. There are just as many chances of accomplishing a federation of our national bodies as there are of harmonizing those two extreme and discordant elements the New York Age and the Boston Guardian. MAY THE LESSONS OF THE OLD YEAR BRING BLESSINGS TO THE NEW. The old year has had its round of trial and conflict, of struggle and triumphs and today the world confronts the glorious incoming of the new. How well the last 12 months have been lived and improved remains now a matter of grave retrospection. Mankind may profit by lessons well learned or neglected, and by millions a feeling of congratulation and rejoicing may be realized on account of duties well done and achievements nobly won. Those who enjoy no such pleasing sensations may at least gather hope and strength and go forward to better things. Every year is but the renewal of the battle of life. Civilization broadens with the growth of time, and Christianity offers its pledges of redemption and rewards. Our march is onward and toward the goal. This is an era of congratulation. Hope beckons us to more sublime future. Why need we question or doubt the probability of events, when we remember that the omnipotent hand directs to certain destiny. It may not reveal itself within a decade, a score or a century, but the edicts of the mighty are sure. With this assurance the men of all races and nations may take courage and press forward to nobler life. To the man with daring trust and self reliance, his life is quickened with bright and thrilling anticipations for the future. Each year lends a more hopeful prospect, and the advent of 1906 may be one of unsurpassed happiness and success to him who is resolved on making it so. Behind us we see what we might have done and before us we see what we might well have accomplished. If individuals and nations would but apply the lessons of experience, the world might tell of achievements unsurpassed in the history of mankind. But the young and the old from past experience and observation may learn of the possibilities now before them. Greater are the advantages of the new year. We are invited to enter into the new contest for grander and more glorious results than in any other period of the past. Very wonderful and striking are the fruits of human endeavor, but the opportunity for greater results is offered. We congratulate our many friends who have enjoyed life and have done well in the year now closing and we earnest hope that the incoming new year may bring to them blessings untold, blessings that shall redound to a more exalted life, a life of undisturbed peace and happiness, replete with an abundance of this world's goods. We give earnest and sincere thanks to our many friends for their sympathy, their cooperation and aid and bespeak for them all that human heart can desire. TO SUPPLANT OUR LABOR. In several of the great cities in the south the whites are busying themselves to induce a large foreign element to find homes among them. They are persistent in the charge that Afro-Americans are "thriftless, lazy and irresponsible and will not work." They agitate the question of foreign immigration of the labor-class by holding public meetings, adopting means and ways to bring to this country a people who must depend upon them for employment as do the thousands of Afro-Americans in the southland. But it is not true that our people are indolent and will not work. Today in hamlet and city, upon the farms and upon the rivers in the south, the Negro may be found hard at it toiling from sun to eve. There is however some reason to be noted that this complaint is made against Afro-Americans. In ninety-nine cases out THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1905. of every hundred, he is treated with insult and abuse and if he offers the merest protest, he is reproached as an impudent fellow. He tols on that he may earn bread and meat for his dependent family while he endures the cruel treatment of an arrogant boss. He offers his protest in vain, until the next pay day, when he finds it best to quit or receive a treatment which few men will endure. For it is only too true that Afro-Americans in the south are not only maltreated but are subject to corporal punishment, horsewhipping and clubbing. And when employed on farms and other places there is oftimes no place of comfort provided for the laborer to rest himself at night, and hence he is forced to seek other quarters. Such are the hardships to which the poor Negro is subjected. The question then arises, will the Poles and the Italians, immigrants be treated likewise. Assuredly not, and if the southern whites will for a moment presume to institute such treatment against white laborers they will not submit to it. Can they then truthfully say that the Poles and Italians are indolent and irresponsible? Certainly not. Neither then can the charge be sustained that the Negro will not work. He realizes the responsibility of a family and the necessity of persistent toll and he works despite the fact that his compensation is incommensurate with the daily service rendered. He is well aware that discrimination against the race is rampant throughout the south and that nowhere in "Dixie land" does he find that encouragement and that treatment he will well deserves as a wage earner. Worse still, it is too often the case that as porter or farm-hand, he is in many instances defrauded of his just earnings, while doing chores or working on shares. The unfortunate treatment given Afro-Americans by southern white men will scarcely be meted out to foreign white men under any circumstances. If upon a venture, the thing is done, neither the Poles nor Italians would stand it. They too would abandon the field and refuse to work for a cruel unrelenting boss. Already this foreign element has openly resented the unjust impositions and have declined to be treated other than as men. A square deal is the demand of the nation's executive and it is the universal demand of men of honor and integrity world over. It is the demand in equity, irrespective of races and it should be the guiding principle among enlightened mankind. Memphis and Atlanta. Birmingham and Savannah have called for their thousands and their tens of thousands from Poland and Italy, but let no southern white man who stands upon his sense of honor and right-dealing presume to justify the foul-handed treatment which has been so long accorded the black man known as the bone and sinew of southern labor. Before and since the Civil war they have done nothing save that of hard and constant labor. As hewers of wood and drawers of water, they have born the white man's burdens in the heat of the day, have given an impressive significance to the American name, and have dignified and exalted American labor. That Afro-Americans in the south are indolent and unreliable to that extent which is charged to them, or that they have shown themselves less diligent, less in-titusious and less loyal to their hues and families according to pres- conditions, cannot be admitted in face of the array of facts now in sir favor. No people in the world have within the last 40 odd years acquired the same amount of wealth in property and lands that they have, and this is proof beyond all cavil that the race has not been idle.

East Orange Separates Some of the Public School Pupils—State May Interfere—An Outrage! Orange, N. J.—The East Orange board of education has determined to stand pat on drawing the color line in the Ashland and Eastern schools. The result will undoubtedly be a legal fight as our people fear that if segregation is allowed to get a foothold in these two schools it will spread to all the public schools in the city. Some of the school board commissioners claim that the separation is not on account of color, but because of the alleged backwardness of the majority of our pupils. Some of the commissioners, however, are franker and admit that race prejudice is at the bottom of the matter. The state authorities may interfere. There is a report that if the school board persists in drawing the color line the state board of education will withhold the annual appropriation for the East Orange schools. East Orange residents threaten, if such a move is made, to refuse to collect the state school tax. Our people effected have opened class rooms in their churches and are seeking teachers to keep their children up with the white classes in the schools so that should the order be recalled they could go on with their school work as if there had been no interruption.

A SCHOOL FOR OUR GIRLS Is Established by a Daughter of a Former Millionaire and Aristocratic Neighbors are Using Every Endeavor to Oust the Institution Nashville, Tenn.—Rev. Mother Catherine Drexel, the several times millionaire daughter of the late Anthony Drexel, of Philadelphia, has aroused the indignation of residents of South Nashville by establishing an industrial school for our girls in the heart of the most aristocratic resident section of the city. Her persistence has caused much feeling against her and Bishop Byrne. Mother Drexel purchased the old residence of Sam J. Keith, wealthiest citizen. She then converted it into a school over the protest of the former owner and many citizens of that section of the city. The residence occupies a beautiful elevation of a double block, and was bought through an attorney for $50. No indimation was given of the purchase intentions until Mother Drexel arrived, beginning alterations. Scores of protests have been made, but Mother Drexel stands firm and has opened the school according to her original plans. Mr. Keith, the former owner, offered Mother Drexel $250,000 to return the property, but she refused. He applied to Bishop Byrne of this diocese with no better success. Finding that persuasion would accomplish nothing, legal methods were resorted to. In junction was sought on the ground that an Afro-American school would be a nausea, but this prevented. Then came talk of violence and guarded patrols the grounds to prevent the enraged persons from setting fire to the building or doing other threatened damages. In spite of other threatened damages, Drexel opened her school with an attendance of over 50 students. It is the first school in kind in the area of the former Drexel about $10,000,000 from her father, the banker. Before his death she established many missions for the poor in Philadelphia, and when she came into possession of her fortune she took the veil and soon rose to the rank of Mother Superior. For several years she worked among the Indians, and is now supporting a score of missions in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Then she turned her attention to the Afro-American, and has done much towards increasing his membership in the Catholic church. Bishop Byrne was enthusiastic over her proposed work here. She expects to expend $150,000 for new buildings and equipment next year. Housework is the most strongly urged course, but the general idea of her work is occupations as well as general education and moral training. Expert instructors in sewing, cooking, nursing and general housework have been secured. Those opposing the location of the school have offered to buy property in the suburbs and devote it to Mother Drexel, if she would use the Keith property for other purposes. Poor things!

The author predicts that America will be ultimately a black people country and brings to bear starling statistics to substantiate her claim.

She boldly defends the Afro-American, telling some unpleasant truths and furnishing startling figures that speak for themselves. Our people should secure a copy of the book and read it carefully. Cost only 25 cents. Address, Authors' Publishing Co. Columbus, O. BEHEADED BY A MOB And Wife Shot Down—Brutal Murder Without Gause. Paris, Tex.—A band of armed and mounted whitecaps visited the home of Asa Flood, near Glory, Tex. the 13th-14th between midnight and day, and murdered him by first shooting him and then cutting off his head. After killing Flood they fired several times at his wife, who had rushed to him when she heard the first shot, and wounded her fatally, leaving her lying across her husband's body. Mrs. Flood was still alive when found and able to give an account of the murder. She said that Flood had heard a noise about the woodpile and went out to investigate it. Hardly had he reached the spot when she heard what sounded to her like a volley of musketry. She sprang out the door and stumbled over her husband's body, then heard a crash and knew no more until morning. A bloody axe was found near the woodpile. It is thought it was used in cutting off Mr. Flood's head. His wife was a half-breed Indian. He had had a difficulty with a 'white man on the streets of Paris on the 9th and fled, pursued by a mob. He had been in hiding since that time. Some more southern "justice." THIS WOMAN IS RICH. Comes From Poverty to a Million Practically in a Night. Palmyra, Va.—Emily Scott is at present the center of general interest. The fact that over night, so to speak, she has become a millionaire, after having been a poor and lowly working woman all her life, has made her an eight days' wonder. Mrs. Scott, who has lived here for years, has a son, Thomas, who is of age and making a living by doing odd jobs. Recently John Bowles Flanagan, her father, died in the west, having just come into possession of property in Omaha City, Neb., valued at $1,000,000, after long-drawn-out litigation in the Nebraska courts. He was 114 years old at the time of his death, and lived life with the wealth which fortune had suddenly thrown into his lap. The property involved consists of several city blocks in the heart of Omaha, and was given to Flanagan by an adventurer for whom he had worked several years without compensation. Omaha at that time was a village of 14 houses. AFRO-AMERICAN TOWERMEN N. V., N. H. & H. R'i Will Have Two Operators Near Providence, Ere Long. Providence, R. I. It looks as if two of the most important block towers on the main line of the New York New Haven and Hartford railway be between Boston and Providence will be operated by the Department. J. E. Dixon, who for four years was manager of the Parker House branch of the Western Union and who resigned to take charge of the Olneyville telegraph and signal station at Providence, has been promoted by the railroad and will take charge of the Elmwood signal station. This means more money and increased responsibility. It is expected that his associate, H. G. Buchanan, who has worked nights at Olneyville and at Olneyville. His chances are good as his record and standing are the best. There were a number of operators right and left on the division, but J. E. Dixon beat them in the race Mr. Buchanan's birthplace is Newport HELPS A BAPTIST CHURCH. Mr. O'Day, John D. Rockefeller's Associate in Business, Gives New Heating Plant. Hot Springs, Ark.—As a result of the visit of John D. Rockefeller and Daniel O'Day to the Afro-American Baptist church on Thanksgiving night the congregation are congratulating themselves on what will practically be a new church. Mr. O'Day was very much interested in the devotion of the people, but their church struck him as inadequate on winter nights. He therefore generously offered to enlarge the building, renovate it and install therein an up to date heating apparatus. His offer was accepted with praise, and work has already been begun. Mr. O'Day has been associated with Mr. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil business since 1870. A Pioneer Gone. Marysville, O.—The Xmas program was fine.

A KU KLUX KLAN Organized to Drive Out Afro-Americans—Over 200 Notified to Leave. Galveston, Tex.-At a mass meeting held recently the organization of a ku klux klan was indoors, and the society has secretly perfected organization and commenced work. Warnings have been issued to over 200 Afro-Americans in and around Beaumont, giving them two days to leave the county, and some of the white-cappers have started out through the lumbering camps to drive them out of the state. Several attacks have been made upon those who resisted the "orders," and our people are arming. One big timber camp has ordered guns with which to arm the Afro-American laborers, whom the company declares are indispensable. The better element of our people in Beaumont have organized a vigilance society to prosecute the criminal class of the race. The white union will endeavor to replace our laborers with immigrants landing here but will have the usual "success"—failure. MAKE MONEY!

Henryey, the winner of the Vanderbilt cup, was conceived with on the destruction of his superb car, relates the New York Tribute. "I was too trustful," said the young Frenchman, with a righful smile. "I let the hostess and me, trusting them implicitly, never thinking that anyone would be so careless as to throw lighted matches about, and hence—pout—my car went up in a mass of flames." He lighted a cigarette. He sipped his coffee. "To be too trustful," said Henryy, "is a fault of the French people. We have a merchant of Marseilles with a letter of introduction from Alexander Dumas. It was a glowing letter. The merchant welcomed the warmly, and entertained him with a letter of introduction. Then in the night the guest disappeared, taking with him his host's best horse, and a quantity of silver plate, and a quantity of next visit to Paris, sought out Dumas. "A pretty guest you sent me," he said, bitterly. The fellow encamped with my best horse and plate worth 5,000 francs, "did he steal from you, too?" To Break the Coal Trust.

Nervous Women Their Sufferings Are Usually Due to Uterine Disorders Perhaps Unsuspected A MEDICINE THAT CURES Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should," or "Don't speak to me? Little things Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? I often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly;" or, "Don't speak to me." Little things annoy and make you irritable; you can't shush you are unable to quietly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and generative organs in women is so close that nine-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arises from some dormant tissue organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or restlessness and irritability. Spirits easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and between the shoulders. Loss of voice, nervous dyspepsia. Incendency to cry at the least proverbs. All this points to nervous prostration. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and prevent months of prostration and suffering so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I cannot express the wonderful relief I have experienced by taking Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound.

"I am a well woman, my nervousness is all gone and my friends say I look ten years older." Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E.

Don't Fold Your Arms By folding your arms you pull the shoulders forward, flatten the chest and inpair deep breathing. The position you hold your body in the most of the time soon becomes its natural position. Continuously folding your arms across the chest will develop a flat chest and a rounded back, just as many another bad habit works harm. Here are a few hints which you would do well to make habits: Keep the back of the neck close to the back of the collar at all possible times. Always carry the chest farther to the front than any other part of the anterior body. Draw the abdomen in and up a hundred times each day. Take a dozen deep slow breaths a dozen times each day. To do these exercises properly, dress loosely. You cannot do them properly otherwise. When Game Was Cheep in Kansas.

Diemer, M.D., Manufacturer, Springfield, Mo. Like an Unbiased Trail. Soon after the late Gilman Marston, of New Hampshire, had been admitted to the bar a civil suit was brought to him. It involved a somewhat complicated case. Boston Herald, but the young man, Boston Herald, detained, took the case, booked up authorities all the way back to Julius Caesar, and prepared an argument of a few hundred dollars to sue the savage. His only fear was that it might be beyond the comprehension of the court. When its case was called Mr. Marston hit inward assurance and plunged in holdy. The judge seemed interested and he took heart. But at the end of an hour and a half, in the midst of the most intricate part of his plea, he was struck out by a back attack of attrition on the part of the court. It was as he beheaded; the judge was unable to appreciate the nice points of my argument. He said, "I beg your pardon, but do you follow me?" "I have so far," answered the judge, shifting weary about in his chair, "but I'll say frankly that if I thought I could find my way back, I'd quit right here." He Doesn't Curse Now. Washington, Kans., Dec. 25 (Special)—Jesse E. Mitchell is a telephoneineman, and also a well-known resident here. Every day he goes to work, and every time he was a man who held very positive views about Patent Medicine. He hear what he says now: "I used to curse all kinds of Patent Medicine. I knew they were bad, and any good but Dodd's Pills have caused me to change my mind. For twelve years I suffered from Kidney Trouble. There was a hurting across my back that made it positive agony to stoop, and as I am in a stoop now, I have to go to bed. How I suffered. After a days's work that any man would think nothing of, I would be tired and worn out. In fact, I was always tired and worn out. And after taking four boxes I feel like a new man, I am as fresh at night as when I begin work in the morning. I have no pain in my back now, and I am stronger than ever."
