But there is less jest than earnest in the ' state ment. It is trying to be on the feet all day, to . be reaching and stooping hour after hour from morn until night. And that is a very meager outline of a busi ness woman's day. With many such women the ordinary strain of labor is intensified and aggravated by a diseased condition of the delicate organs, and they become victims of that terrible backache, or blinding, headache, which Is so common among business women. ' If you are bearing this burden, bear it no longer. For the backache, head ache, nervousness and weakness irtiich spring from a diseased condition of the womanly organs there is a sure cure in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Half a million women have been per fectly and permanently cured by this, wonderful medicine. "My niece was troubled with female weakness for about four years before I asked for your advice," writes Mr. J. W. McGregor, of 6ad St and Princeton Ave., Chicago, Ills. " You advised her to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription which ihe did faithfully for nine months, and now we must acknowledge to you that she is i well woman. We cannot thank you nough for the cure." Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce by letter fret. Address, Buffalo, N. Y. THBGIKIi WHO SRIILES, (MARY A GILLETTE ) The wind was east and the chime ey amoked, And the old brown house seemed dreary, For nobody smiled and nobody joked. The young folks grumbled, the old folks croaked, They had come home chilled and weary. - Then opened the door and a girl came in;' Oh, ahe was homely very ; i . -Her nose was pug and her cheek was thin. ' There wasn't a dimple from brow to chin, But her smile was' bright and cheery. She spoke not a word of the cold and damp. Nor yet of the gloom above her, But she mended the fire and lighted the lamp. ' And she put on the place a different stamp From that it had had without her. Her dress, which was something in sober brown. And with dampness nearly drip ping, She changed for a bright, warm. crimson gown. And she looked so gay when she so : came down They forgot that the air 'was nip ping. They forgot that the house was a dull, old place. And smoky from base to rafter, And gloom departed from every face, As thev felt the charm of her mirth ful grace, And the cheer of her happy laugh- ter. Oh,' give me the girl who will smile and sing ' And make all glad together ! To be plain or fair is a lesser thing. But a kind, unselfish heart can bring Good cheer in the darkest weather. , Youth's Companion. CURRENT COMMENT. Fourteen states have enacted laws to protect the American flag from commercial desecration. This is all right, but we can never save the flag from "commercial desecra tion" until we abandon a colonial policy. Bryan's Commoner, Dem. So far the Philippines 'have cost us in money $202,573,000, of which $173,550,000 was expended in military and naval operations' and "3", 028 lives lost in battle or -by d;s ease. But, then, there are a lot of valuable franchises over there wait ing for friends of the administration. Atlanta Journal, Dem., Mr. Labouchere, it is noted, is making life a burden for the Brit ish expansionist "by estimating the cost of the conquest in South Africa at $500,000 for each fighting Boer." It would be interesting to bring the calculation nearer home. Only "one small tribe," we have been assured, has been sustaining the war in the Philippines. How jmany times would the number of its "fighting" men go into $200;000,000? Charles ton News and Courier, Dem. Accounts from Manila . state that it was a woman who persuaded Aguinaldo, much against his will, to take the oath of allegiance to this Government. It is to be hoped that he will prove hereafter as good a friend and ally of the United States as he has been a formidable enemy in the past. The fact that a way of reconciliation has been opened to Aguinaldo warrants the belief that the authorities in Manila will treat the Filipinos with liberality and good sense, and thus gain their confi dence and amity. It is unfortu nate that this policy was not pur sued in the beginning. Philadel' phia Record, Dem. In Bagdad, by the utra gate.

"It's no good, Miss Thorold," said Ru pert Ashley despairingly. "The fight lies between Strong "and Johnstone, and I haven't an earthly chance of a look in." "A battle is never lost till the last shot has been fired, Mr. Ashley," said Doris Thorold gently as she gazed with just a suspicion of kindntvj in her eyes at the very smart and youthful candidate whom the Conservatives had seen fit to send down to contest the triangular battle at Blackton-le-Moor. "That crowd of 3eordies who occupy Walker's Bents and the Jot at No Man's Land the other end of the town, will turn the balance against me. I am Afraid, Miss Thorold," he continued, "that I'm avfcifc- too much of a boy for this job. Wfi'eh I go about canvassing, the women ask the men whether I've called for the vote for my father, and they won't believe me when I tell them that I am the candidate. And I've had to lick two pit lads already. They objected In a practical 'manner to a boy of my age wearing a -black coat." "I am afraid -our people are a little bit rough," said Miss Thorold doubtfully. " ."Anyhow, Miss . Thorold," continued Rupert, lifting his eyes from the ground and blushing becomingly, "whether I get in or not, I shall always thank the Conservatives for Bending me down to Blackton-le-Moor to gain two such friends as your father and yourself." "We are very glad, too, Mr. Ashley," Doris Thorold replied hurriedly, "and and how did you get that bruise on your face?" she added, evidently desirous of changing the trend of the conversation. "Oh, that's nothing," he replied light ly. "Some one heaved a stone through the carriage window last night as I was driving home.' Political feeling runs a little bit higher up here than it does in the home counties, you know." "But why should they try to hurt you?" asked Doris, her gray eyes open ing wide in wonder. "I am not very much liked in this part of the world. My father was a very bad man, and I remember that as a boy I received a threshing for giving assistance to the wife of one of the strikers." "But I am sure you're not hard or un kind. Why should they try to hurt you?" " The sins of the fathers,' you know," quoted Rupert as he shook hands. "Good by. Miss Thorold. Won't you wish me luck for tomorrow?" "I do indeed, Mr. , Ashley!" replied Doris. "Then, with luck, I shall come in just about 100 votes behind Ben Johnstone and about 150 behind John Strong. Good by." With a fine sweep of his tall hat 'he bowed ard left Doris with the idea 'that her. hand had been held in his about two seconds longer than was absolutely nec essary to a formal leave taking. As she made her way homeward toward the rectory the rattle of clogged- feet fol lowed close behind her. Wfth a woman's quick ear she caught the voices of the two mill girls who followed in her steps. "Tha-at's the pa-ason's gel!" explain ed one voice. "A rare good lass she is tool When t' owd mother was sick wi' the scarlet fever in the time o' the ippy demmic, she coom to ours, an she ridded 'oop the room an coddled the old 'ooman oop wi' beef teas an jellies till she was brave an well ag'in!" "Happen shYa soft on that young chap Ashley. She was talkin wi' him," speculated the first speaker's companion. "He's go-oin to pit hisself oop for par leymint, they do say." "He won't be no member o' parley mint." said the first speaker. "The Jol-. ly ' Miners' Benefit club are all goin to stash oop his meetin tonight, an daddy says they're all goin to vote ag'in him to morrow, an there's three hoondred on 'em." . "D'yer think they'll hurt him?" asked her companion anxiously. "He's a gradely la-ad." The sound of voices died away up a side street, and Doris hurried on. trem bling. Grim tales Doris had heard of the brutalities of past elections flitted through her brain. f, She was still trembling whed.4se was brought to a standstill b a, tih'rjSh femi nine call from the door of reroalLjgtimy cottage.

"Come in, an let me dust a chair for yer, Miss Doris," said. Mrs. Acroyd. "My Bill, 'e ain't come home from work yet or 'e'd be that proud to see yer as yer wouldn't believe!" Doris took the proffered seat. "Well, Mrs. Acroyd, what can 'I do for you 7" she asked. "It's not about me that 1 wanted to see yer. Miss Doris. It's about yer self," replied Mrs. Acroyd as she folded a massive pair of arms with an air of decision. "Have I offended any of the mothers in the sewing circle?" asked Doris, look ing a little disturbed. "No. no. my lamb!" replied Mrs. Acroyd reassuringly. "Just as if yer would offend them! I just want a straight answer to a straight question." Here the speaker paused doubtfully. "Now.

That night Ashley delivered his final speech to the electors of - Blacktoq-lo-Moor. The meeting, which was to have been riotously opposed, passed off amid gen eral enthusiasm. His agent attributed this to the large number of women who were seated in the body of the audience and who seemed to suppress at once any signs of rioting. When he came to the end of his speech, a roar of enthusiasm burst, forth from friend and foe ike. The following morning it was rumored that "Bully" Acroyd and the Jolly Min ers were voting solidly for Ashley. It was further rumoiVd in the afternoon that large numbers of voters in No Man's Land and Walker's Rents were prevent ed from coming to the poll by their wives. who had stolen their clothes in the night and had kept them in bed all day with unlimited gruel and tobacco and beer, de claring that they were not well and should neither work nor vote that day. Late that night as Ashley drove down to the town hall, accompanied by the rector and his daughter, be declared. a he absently twisted a diamond ring on a very slender finger, that he was far too happy to care whether he was at the tn;; of the poll or not. As he spoke a red rocket soared f:-:;i the roof of the Conservative club, aud a vast roar of "Ashley!" rang through the streets.

RUSSIANS AND CHINESE FIGHTING There is Extraordinary Activity, in the Japanese Naval and Military Circles. -;, .;. 7 HE MANCHURtAN QUESTION. Opinion In Washington Thst the Excite ment In Japan isBsed Upon a State , of Affairs That Existed Before Delivery of Russian Note. By cable to tho aornuui star. Yokohama, April 6.-The Japanese government is maintaining- great secrecy regarding its policy, but it is said on good authority that the cabinet, at a meeting held Friday, resolved to communicate with Russia in firm tones respecting Manchuria. There is extraordinary activity in naval and military circles. Berlin. Aoril 6. A dispatch to the Cologue Gazette, from St. Petersburg, says hard fighting is reported to have occurred between the first, second and third East Siberian rifle regiments and several thousand of Chinese . troops. between Kobantsky and Bin Mm Ting The Russians lost a captain and several men killed, and a lieutenant colonel, several other officers and many mea wounded.' The Chinese lost heavily and retreated, with the Russians pur suing them. The date of the engage ment is not mentioned in the dispatch received. Opinion la Washington. Washington. April 6 The opin ion prevails among officials here that the excitement reported as existing in Japan over the Manchurian question and the talk of ultimatums is all based upon a state of affairs that existed be fore the delivery of the Russian note yesterday to Secretary Hay. A sim ple calculation assures them that the Japanese could not have known of the last note when the bellieerent publi cations were made in Japan. It is, therefore, believed that when the tenor of the note is learned, and the Japanese find that the proposed secret treaty has been abandoned, they will accept the situation with satisfaction. Sooner or later this note is sure to find publicity, for it is necessary to makeup the record of the case, but the time is not now auspicious.. No doubt is entertained here that the secret treaty is no longer to be feared and already attention is being directed to the next step. The ministerial coun cil at Pekin is believed to have tem porarily suspended meetings, and the Manchurian problem is the sole object of interest at present, so far as China is concerned. The suggestion has been made that Russia haviDg established the correctness of her intentions as to Manchuria, the Powers shall meet her half way in her reformatory move ment and undertake to assist her in securing the assent of China for the adoption of such precautionary meas ures as may be necessary to safeguard what are recognized by them as purely Russian interests in that province. In that case, and such a suggestion may come from the United States, there would be nothing more required than a straightforward and open statement by Russia of the conditions souebt to be laid down, and with a recognized uprightness of purpose, behird these, the Powers, it is believed, would surely give their support. Blames the Powers. St. Petersburg, April 6. Thf newspapers here aver that the foreign Powers, aud not Russia, are responsi ble for the continued occupation of Manchuria. The Viedomosti says it is quite impossible for Russia to withdraw without some guarantee that order will be preserved on her frontier, adding: "Russia does not intend tone left in the far Cast at the disadvantage she was placed under in the near East twenty three years ago " The Eossiya maintaios that Russia tried to arrange plans for the with drawal of her troops and was thwarted by nearly the whole of Europe, and she must continue in the "unpleasant position of the occu pier of Manchuria. " Punishment of Officials. BERLIN. April 6. A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette, from Pekin dated Thursday, April 4th, says: "The Chinese plenipotentiaries have agreed on the punishments of the guilty provincial officials to be de manded by the foreign minsters on account of the murder of 242 persons, missionaries and their wives and children. Dispersing Robber Bands Berlin, April 6 Count Von Wal dersee reports to the War Office that after dispersing the robber bands to the northeast of Tien Tsin the troops engaged in that work have returned to their quarters. In the course of the operations twenty robbers were killed and one gun and twentv-nine waeons. with arms and ammunition, were cap tured. The Identical Note. London. April 6.
