Her step is slow, hesitating and uncertain. Her hands are raised to ward the im aginary blows which threaten her. When a sick woman seeks the means of health she is often like a woman blindfold. She has no confidence. She cannot tell what her effort will lead to. She turns now to this side and then to the other in uncer tainty and doubt. The sick woman who uses Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription may do so with absolute confidence. It "invites open eyed investigation. There nd be no hesitation in fallowing the hundreds of thousands of women who have found a perfect cure for womanly ills in the use of this medicine.

Secretary Taft's demand that the graft of the Sultan of Sulu be stopped by congress will meet with tbe hearty approval of the people. Any treaty with the natives of any of the islands belonging to the Philippines, which is based on a payment of blood money to some barbarian chief, is wrong. Tbe Islands are either ours or they are not ours. No purchased obedi ence should be recognized. Tbe Sul tan of Sulu should either become a subject or a prisoner. His graft should be abolished. The news of the serious illness cf Alvinza Hayward. the aged San Francisco capitalist, will recall an other romance of the mines. .Mr. Hayward was born In Northern New York. His father died when he was quite young, and as his mother was unable to support him he was, In the custom of the day. "bound out" to a farmer. Arriving at the age of 21 he received the customary $100 and "freedom suit" for his services, and went as far west as Minnesota, where he married. The California gold fever soon swept him further west, where, tolline with nick and spade he was, after much hardship, the lucky finder of a rich mine, The ; rest was easy. i Mr. Hayward was associated with ' Flood. O'Brien, Mackay and Fair n certain mining ventures, and his for tune was not far behind theirs. So long as the farmer lived to whom Mr. Hayward was "bound" In youth he made frequent trips to the East to visit his old home and stir the minds of farm youngsters by tales of wonderful things in the land of gold.
