Business men who have impaired their

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
a cure for dyspepsia and other diseases
of the stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition,. It does not give mere
temporary relief, but it effects a radical
cure. It strengthens the stomach, nour
ishes the nerves and purifies the blood.

FAUST'S WILD CHARGE.
It 'Seat Mairaraerlt Flyinar In Terror
From the Stage. .
The name of tho hero of this anec
dote I shall aot give you, for be bas

Let it suffice that In his heyday be
was one of the greatest tenors who
ever sang to n breathless and enthusi
astic audience. He bad a penchant,
however, for the red, red wine, which
In the end proved his undoing and ulti
mately provided a pathetic ending for
an otherwise great career. In his prime
bis drinking seemed only to affect his
legs, but never bis head or voice. He
could always sing and sing true, but at
times be bad no more ability to guide
bis wandering footsteps rthan has a
sufferer In the last stages of locomotor
ataxia.
At one time, when be was singing
Faust to Emma Abbotf a Marguerite,
he appeared at the opera house in an
apparently hopeless condition. The
management was wild, but there was
no one o take his place, and so they
had to chance it with blm as Faust
All went well until they came to that
scene where Faust, in leaving Margue
rite, crosses the stage and then, giving
way to an impulse, rushes back and
kisses Marguerite yet once again ere
taking his departure.
Faust on this occasion got to the oth
er side of the stage all right, but trou
ble arose when he tried to get back.
Marguerite sits in the window of her
cottage, and Faust comes back and
kisses her through the window. Faust
measured the distance with a wabbling
eye, but made a start when his cue
was given. Then he seemed to lose
control of himself. One-quarter way
across he was trotting, one-half way
the trot was a run, and the remainder
of the way it had become a gallop.
Up to this point Miss Abbott stood
her ground bravely, but that rapidly
approaching figure awed her, and with
a frightened scream she fled. Faust,
poor Faust, charged on. He reached
the place he had last seen Marguerite
and essayed to clasp the atmosphere la
outstretched arms. Then his Impetus
carried him through the window, and
all that the astounded audience looked
upon were his waving legs. Somebody
pushed him back, and, absolutely un
disturbed, he finished the opera, sing
ing In an unusually superb manner.
Not so with the unfortunate Margue
rite, however, for from then on she was
suffering from a case of "rattles,"
which In simple Justice should have

PRETTY IRISH GIRLS.
Why the Laaaea of the Emerald Iale
Are Beatmtifol.
The Irish peasant girls have long
been famous for their beautiful, clear
skins and healthy complexions. They
owe much of their loveliness to the
moisture of the climate and the sim
plicity of their lives. Plain, wholesome
fare and rainwater for the wash basin
tell their own tale. No matter bow
homely are the features of the genuine
peasant girl, her skin Is almost Invaria
bly soft and firm, the arms nicely
rounded, the eyes brilliant and express
ive. '
There are no eyes finer than those of
the healthy daughter of Erin's Isle.
Soft and tender one moment, to flash
with passion If aroused; dark blue,
gray or brown, the Irish eye is pecul
iarly lovely and possesses a luster all
Its own. Long lashes shadow these be
witching orbs lashes that curl upward
to sweep the cheek when the face Is
betrayed Into blushes.
So much time Is spent out of doors
that the feet, usually bare, become en
larged. The ankle, however. Is usually
well shaped and neat, the Instep high
and the skin of baby fineness. The
Irish girl of bumble station is proud
of her shapely feet and believes that
walking through the grass before sun
rise In summer enhances their beauty,
which, of course, it does.
- No need to powder that fair skin It
owes its peachy bloom to health, happi
ness and the freedom of outdoor life;
no need to resort to the rouge pot the
roses are there bard and fast, nature's
own coloring. The hands may be rough

shapely; the bah burnished and often

How' to Lie 'When. Sleealmar.
The correct posture for sleep Is to lie
on the right side with the limbs stretch
ed out to their full length and the arms
either straight down by the body or in
any comfortable position, provided they
are not raised above the head. The
mouth should be closed, and all the
muscles of the body should be relaxed.
The lungs work with greater delib
eration during the hours of Bleep, and
if the arms are raised above the head
at this time and for any period the ac
tion of the heart drives the blood away
from the arms and sends It to the bead,
frequently making one very restless
when it does not prevent sleep entirely.

From a health point of view a definite

"More Paine's Celery Compound

the last month than all other medicines

8o writes the leading wholesale drug
house of the West to the proprietors of
Paine's Celery Compound.
In October last a card from Hon.
Frank E. Moores, the mayor of that
city, was published in the Omaha Bee,
in which he told of the great benefit
Paine's Celery Compound had been to
him. "I regard it," he said, "the
most wonderful iemtdy I have ever
tried for building up the system when
once run down."
. On account of Major Moores' great
popularity and well known standing,
the publication of his card in the Bee
instigated the Omaha News, the Bee'a

Eighty-five miners killed and fifty
more buried under debris is the fear
ful record made by a dust explosion
at the Hondo mines in Mexico, the
news of which was received here to
night.
At the time tne explosion occurred
there were 160 miners at work in the
mine, all of whom were entombed
by the shaft being choked up
by falling earth and stones tossed by
the explosion. Just how many are
dead is not at this time known, bat at
last accounts received here by wire
to-night eighty-five dead bodies had
been recovered. It ia thought that
the death list will be over one hundred.
The Hondo mines are located at Co

and are the most important in the
State. Details of the list are meagre,
no names of the victims being learned
