WELCOM From the view point of the average man housework is very easy. The wife, is right at home. She is her own mis- tress. She can sit down and time. She can even if she feels like it. household affairs just to suit-her own convenience. If she doesn’t feel equal to doing work to-day, she can do it to-morrow. That’s the beautiful theory of the average man. ; Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas- ters, when they made the required daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost of human strength, had said to the toiling slaves, “Don’t hurry, take a rest every now and then—only don’t forget that your tale of bricks must be all right at night or else there’ll be trouble.” There’s the fact. There are the day’s duties to be got through, and the women who can rest may not. The woman, who, when she married, said, *Now, I’ll be my own mistress,” finds how much that woman needs rest sometimes. She brushes and scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples throbbing, her bacf aching, her nerves nivering under the stress of pain. hat she would give if she could. just creep upstairs and throw herself on the bed in a darkened room and rest. * Rest would temporarily relieve the strain, doubtless, but it would be the same story over again to-morrow. The real need of weak, nervous women is strength, and that need is fully met and satisfied by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. 1t makes weak women strong and sick women well, 1t re- moves the causes of women’s weak- ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces restful sleep. “Favorite Pre- seription” is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain- ful menstruation, unnatural suppres- sions and irregularities, prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back, *female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic con- gestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with “internal heat.” “I am pleased to add my testimony in behalf of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription,” writes Miss Earline Agard, Chaplin, Patriotic Daughters of Amer- ica,of 413% Michigan Avenue, Lansing, Mich. "1 cannot find language to ex- ress my gratitude and joy over the act that I am well once more, Wear- ing my corsets too tight seemed to have brought on an extra abdominal pres- sure, weakening the ligaments and ushing the internal organs down. hat to do I knew not, as no medi- cines 1 took seemed to help me. “I had heard of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and determined to try it, as a last resort. Before the first bottle was used I began to feel better, but could hardly believe that this was permanent, but my improvement went steadily on, nnrf within four months I was like a new woman. Now I have no more pains, am well and strong, and am extremely grate- ful to you.” There is nothing o conceal about the make-up of * FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION.” It is an absolutely pure medicine— E WORDS TO WOMEN. ey made of native roots—Nature’s own restoratives, compounded after a form- ula concerning which there'can be no. a:;estiqn, by skilled chemists and by. oroughly Bcientific processes.

Some perti- nent questions are asked and it will. be .interesting to mnote whether or notthe forest reserve advocates make apy answer: . It would be interesting indeed to know just what is at the bottom of the peculiar conditions nf the forestry propaganda in Minne- sota. It is hard to believe that the only thing back of it is the beauti- ful theory of reforestration. That theory is held elsewhere, and sought to be put into practice elsewhere, but nowhere is it ac- companied by such methods as it is in Minnesota, There is no instance on record where a mere abstract theory like reforestration has been pushed with such persistence and by methods so deadly as the case has been in Minnesota. Wheh people firmly believe in a theory like this, they are willing to sign petitions in favor of is, and even to contribute a little money toward it, but they do not do'the things-that have been done in the name of forestry in Minnesota. For instance, when the Minne- sota legislature was asked to pe- tition congress for the Cass Lake forest reserve, there was a corps of lobbyists on hand who seemed to have no other source of liveli- hood, many of them, than what they were doing at that time— lobbying for forestry. When the legislature again ~memorialized congress last winter, this timeto abolish the forest reserve. these lobbyists again made their ap- pearance. and no agent of rail- iroads or trusts showed - the habits and persistency of ‘the professional lobbyist more than they did, N Again, people do not commit forgery and perjury and utter slanders and falsehoods through mere admiration for an abstract theory, and these things. the forestry people have done iu Minnesota. Again, adwmirers of a lovely theory do not seek to condemn to retrogression a ‘great and growing empire, as the Mione- sota forestry people have sought to do with ' northern Minnesota.

Inshort, there isample evi dence that somewhere back of this forestry movement in Min nesota, which will not content it- self with operating on lands suited for forestry but seeks to tie up valuable agricultural lands, to the injury of the state and its people, is a hidden motive pos- sessed by people anxious enough about it to put up large sums of money. It would be exceedingly inter- esting to know what this in- terestis, and how it seeks to profit itself under the guise of the ‘“‘forestry’’ movement.

NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY HANSOM CAB AND AN ACTRESS PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF THE TRAGEDY. New York, Feb. 21.—A murder mys- tery, with some features not unlike that of the famous Patterson case of two years ago, is engaging the atten- tion of the police. As in the crime which cost Caesar Young his life and Nan Patterson, an actress, more than a year of her liberty, a cab and a woman of the stage are the principal features in the latest mystery. The woman, Gussie Hart, was the victim and the carriage, according to the the- ory of the police, was the'scene of her death. . Several’ persons who are thought to know something of the manner in which the woman was killed have disappeared. The first intimation that a crime had been committed came to the police when a physician. notified them that he had been called to the house at 261 West Thirty-cighth street to 'at- tend a woman and found her dead. Her skull bad been fractured.. Miss Hart had been appearing in “The Child Wife” at a thealer in- this city and had theatrical engagements here until May 6 next. The police were unable to learn where she was from the time she left the theater until several hours later when a cab stopped before the house where she roomed in West Thirty-eighth stireet. Then, they say, two men. took her from the cab and carried her into the house and a few minutes later the physician was called. He was told that a woman was ill. When he reached the room he found two women and three men at the bed- side. Miss Hart was dead. When a coroner, who was notified at once, reached the room none of the watchers remained. The body of the woman, with the head terribly battered, was lying undisturbed on the bed and the had been carried were smeared with blood. The police are now searching for the cab and for the two men who carried the woman’s body to her room. Later the police arrested Edward Murphy, a dancing master, who said that he was with Gussie Hart and that he called the doctor. Murphy claims the woman was injured by failing down a flight of stairs at the Little Savoy, a cafe and salcon JOINTLY TO BUILD NAVIES. Important Agreement Between Great Britain and Japan.

Denver, Feb. 21.—Leaving her seat in one of the boxes at the Crystal the- ater a few minutes after the opening of the afternoon’s performance Mrs. C. A. Weilder, a resident of this city, made her way to the stage and. flour- ishing a weapon for a minute in full view of the house, discharged the re- volver at her own person, inflicting a probably fatal wound. When the woman was picked up by the stage attendants she was uncon- scious. One hand held the weapor and the other held a picture, tightly clutched. An ambulance was summoned to the door of the theater and the dying wo- man was driven to the emergency hos- pital. Quiet was restored in the the- ater in a short time and the perform- ance was resumed. TO ENTERTAIN LONGWORTHS. Havana City Authorities Arranging Programme.
