Musical Wondera
' The New York debut of two musi-

Hungarian boy violinist, and Milada
Cerny, the Chicago girl pianist, both
in their twelfth year, furnished the
musical topic of the past week. Both
were heard by large audiences and re-
ceived with popular applause. The
critics and the more discriminating
listeners dismissed the young pianist
is nothing more than a talented little
girl who has attained facility and
fleetness of finger. The boy came in
for more serious consideration, partly
iue to his credentials, but largely to
the character of his performance.

n>« Remedy rwd by Mr. Rehrofppel nd
kj OpUtn Lalfour In Gnat Demand lm j
Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1902-8 Mr. Schroeppe!
was confined to hU bed by a severe at-
tack of rheumatism. His doctor's treat-
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
Huently regained his health by meant
which he describes with great enthu-
liasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless-
ness and pain," said he, " during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, I felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, a woman eighty years of
ige, paid me a visit. She had received
great benefit from Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and she was confldeut they would
help me. At lier solicitation I gave up
the doctor's treatment and took the pilli
In its place."
"And were you cured as the result of
taking her advice?"
" Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished I felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks I was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. I eon-
tinned to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that I felt that every ves-
tige of the disease had been eradicated.
"Are there no traces left?"
"Absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. Fot
this happy result I and my family freely
praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
Within the bounds of China township,
St. Olair county, Mich., there is no bet-
ter known farmer than Mr. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat-
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
Oue of Mr. Sohroeppel's neighbors, Oap-
talu George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutarv results in Mr. Bchroeppel's case,
decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares lumseli
free from the painful ailment."
It is littlo wonder that Dr. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the com-
munity where Mr. Schroeppel and Cap-
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralcia. sciatica and partial paralysis.

In Four-Track News, one sees the

that were ever gathered together. Be-

book stall flanked by a booth display-
ing all kinds of flannelette undergar-
ments, varicolored and fearfully and
wonderfully shaped. Next to this,
strong shoes for the country folks dan-
gle begulllngly over an array of sacred
Images and crucifixes, surmounted by
yards and yards of saints and angels,
against a high wall behind.
In another corner some wonderfully
artistic crockery of a coarse kind, such
as make one long for some means of

IT'S THE TERROR OF ALL WOMEN.
Backache' Quickly Cured by Dodd'a
Kidney Pilla. Mrs. W. H. Ambrose
tells how her paina vanished never
to return when she used the Great,
American Kidney Remedy.
Dover. Ky.. Feb. 13th.— (Special)—
So long has Backache been the terror
of the women of America that the
numerous.reports of the-complete and
permanent cures of this ailment now
being made by Dodd's Kidney Pills
are causing wide satisfaction ami not
the least remarkable of these cures
Is that of Mrs. W. H. Ambrose of this
place. Mrs. Ambrose says:
"I had such pains In my back at
limes I could hardly move and other
symptoms showed that my kidneys
were affected. One box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills drove away all the pains
and 1 have never been troubled since."
Backache Is the kidneys'first notice
that Ibey are out of order and need
help, if they get that help in tho
form of Dodd's Kidney Pills all will he
well. If they are neglected the dis-
ease may develop Into Diabetes,

a screen that you will have to lift up
your eyes In order to look at it while
you are lying in your easiest position

sleep. As you see the illuminated
words, repeat them to yourself In a
monotonous manner. As the eyelids
become tired let them close. You will
not In most cases repeat the words
very often before sleep brings on for

What a Bohemian Is.
Country Niece—Aunt, what does it
mean when Cousin Nad says that he is
a Bohemian? It sounds so very wick-
ed.
City Aunt—Not at all, my dear. Bo-
hemlanism in New York merely means
cheerful poverty. It means to live In
a more or less disagreeable room,
usually in an unpleasant part of the
city; to eat poorly cooked meals, bad-
ly served, here, there and everywhere,
and then to boast of It, for the word.

In hours of morning early.
No epithets—of rhyming amns-

When called on to get up;
But with alacrity and grace
She hurries out with cheerful tace
To drink her morning cup.

Apology Hardly Necessary.
As an example of courteous apology
the following would be difficult to
equal: At the battle of Cape St. Vin-
cent a ship, the Dartmouth, blew up
and all Its crew with o few exceptions
were drowned. Among those who were
rescued and taken on board the Prince
Frederick was a young Irish lieutenant
who, when he was presented to the
captain of the rescuing vessel, said:
"Sir, you must excuse the unfitness
of my dress to come on board your
ship, but, really, I left my own In
such a hurry that I had no time for a
change of apparel."
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the n)arkf>.
who Is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial or
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because It Is guar-
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It Is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
Before acquiring a son-in-law. the
girl's father should be sure of his
ability to support the young man in
the style to which he has been accus-
tomed.

"Laugh While You Can

where his sister was painting under
Kuskln's eye. He did not notice Rus-

Forty Birds In One Essay.
A writer In Country Life In America
says: The poems of Lowell are filled
with references to nature which ex-
hibit a considerable knowledge of bird
and tree and shrub. The essay, "My
Garden Acquaintance," written in
1869, is the best evidence of his knowl-
edge of the birds. In the essay, he
mentions more than forty kinds of
birds with which he had a good deal
more than a bowing acquaintance.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because It
never sticks to the Iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while alt other Cold Water
Starches are put up In H-pound pack-
ages, and the price Is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all Injurious chem-
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you a
12-os. package It Is because he baa
a stock on hand which he wishes to
ilspose of before he puts In Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch haa
printed on every package in large let-
ters and figures "18 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and

On Being Cheerful.
A sunny disposition Is a work of art
rather than a gift of nature. The raw
material for cheerfulness lies all
around us like the colors the artist
combines in his painting. It is for us
to recombine them. To achieve a
serene point of view Is Just a matter
of selection. One becomes a proficient
1 optimist in the same way that one be-
1 comes a proficient story teller. He se-
lects and works over the things that
produce the effect he designs; what
I conflicts with the effect he ignores or
I treats only as shading.
Don't forget when you
order starch to get the
best. Get DEFIANCE/ No
more "yellow" looking clothes,
no more cracking or breaking. It
doesn't stick to the iron, i It gives ^satis-
faction or you get your money back. The
cost is 10 cents for 16 ounces of tne best
starch made. Of other starches you get
but 12 ounces. Now don't forget. It's 01
your grocers.
