Sleeplessness
Is akir to insanity. Many a woman re
alizes this as she lies awake hour by hour,
I peopling' the
darkness
wit a
i Mi phantoms,
fj ing of the bed or
the rustle ot Uic
3 bedclothes.
Such symptoms
in general point
to disease of the
delicate womanly
organs, and a
constant drain of
Uir vital and
nervous forces.
This condition
cannot be over
come by sleeping
powders. The
diseased condi
tion must be
cured before the
consequences of
disease are re
moved. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the womanly diseases which cause nerv
ousness and sleeplessness. It is the best
of tonics and invigorants, nourishing the
nerves, encouraging the appetite and in
ducing refreshing sleep.
$500 Reward for Women
Who Cannot bo Cured.
Proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully var
ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal
money of the United States for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable
trial of their means of cure.
Mv wife was sick for over eight years," write
Albert H. Fulte, Esq., of Altamont, Grundy Co..
Tenn. "She had uterine disease and was treated
by two physicians and got no relief. At last f
read about Dr. Pierce's medicines and we de
cided to trv his 'Favorite Prescription,' I sent
to the drugstore and got one bottle and the first
Cose gave ease and sleep. She had not slept any
for three nights. Being sure that it would ci r
her I sent for five more bottles and when silt
had taken the sixth bottle she was sound and
well."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should b
used with "Favorite Prescription" when

Prospect of Its Becoming a Great

llapuble of SmpportliiK lO.OOU,
OOO l'eriou in SomiNthiuK
like Comfort.
Some idea of the future of Alaska
nml itt almost boundless resources is
given by Harrington Emerson in the
Kng ir.i er'.ng Miig;i-:nie. Mr. Kif.ersuii
believes that Alaska can t- iqipurt a
pnpukit ion (1 i 10,000, ;i.'!) pv '.-'' in-- i-i com
fort, and that at 110 distant day It
will lie one of the world's richest min
ing and fanning districts. The ideas
uf this explorer are expressed in part
as follows: -
"The Yukon, the fourth largest river
in the world, navigable for more than
2,000 inilt'.s above its mouth and run
ning in a great semi-circle from south
eastern to northwestern Alaska, forms
1 natural highway. All this was
tiiiown long ago; but it was not known
that the interior contained 100 000
square miles of farming lands and al
most limitless areas of the richest
ninernl lands in the world. It is in
this unsubdued country that thou
sands of miles of railroad must be
juilt, that great areas will open for
et t lenient, absorbing and keeping
jnsy 2,000, 000 workers as fast as they
hoose to go.
"It i?, however, not the agricultural
resources that will immerli
i;-fK-
tract the largest influx of 1
' piilation
ind capital. About 140 mile.-; from
Valde in the Chittyna valie;. are very
jreat copper deposits, which during
the last season have been visited by
many experts. Rome of the ores run
5 per cent, copper, and there are many
thousand tons in sight assaying 16 per
cent.
"A great mountain slide has occurred
in this region revealing, it is claimed,
as much as 40.000,000 tons of high
grade copper ores. Valde hay a ltd the
low pass north of it are the American
gateways to the Yukon valley, and al
ready a railroad has been s tirvcvod and
partly grr.d.-d to the interior. f;.r the
t?opper. though it can be quarried like
the iron 1 s of Lake Fnpo-ior. with
out n railroad will rent:; in worthless.
The !; ::-( .-.(! itself is assured p.n un
limited t ::n; ge. It is i'ie shortest
line to Dawson and the Yukon valley,
uid what is of more importance, it
can carry supplies delivered at- Vnl
.iez from sailing vessels or deep draft
ocean steamers in all the months A
the year, with only one break of bullr
ax aioez, ana also reaen tne ci c ep
navigable Yukon and the Koyuki
month earlier than by the Yifkor
mouth, which is closed by llehring
sea ice until July 1.
' As shown in the historv of the
White Pass railroad, the ingoing traf
fie would in itself be siitTu'ient to war
rant a railroad, but from Dawson the
only export, is gold, about 70 tons a
year, while this road will not only car
ry all the United State.; government
troops and supplies, for which ninny
hundred tliousfind dollars are spent,
but it will have the unlimited out
nounu tonnage or f.ign-grnrio copper
ores, which, with a freight rate of two
dollars n ton from Valdez to the smel
ters of T'nget sound will scarcely be
treated in the interior.
"It i not too much to expect that
improvement in transportation facili
ties .alone will convert central Alaska
into as closely a populated and pros
perous region as ('(dor;- do, as the
Ihack Mills, of South I) kctn, as the
rich mining region of Iiritish Colum
bia."
MR. JOBSON'S ECONOMY.

L'awit lafaetory lie-suit.
"Mrs. Jobson," inquired Mr. Jobs on
one evening a coup.e of weeks ago.
sitting straight up in his chair and
g;i..ng ill her intenm, "do you vei
reau ihe woman" column of i!a- S;iir,
or of any of the other newspapers that
you get'hohi of?"
"Why, certainly I do," quickly re
plied Mrs. Jobsou. "It's the first part
of the paper I turn to."
"it is. hey.'" said Mr. Jolson, with a
victorious gleam in his eye. "Well,
will you be good enough to inform me.
then
why it is that we waste in this
about 20 or 5 pounds of good
house
meat a
Mrs.
week, at a rough calculation ?"
Jobs-on's mystification was
plain, says the Washington Star.
"Woman's column? Meat wasted?"
she said, in a puzzled tone. "I'm sure
I wish I knew what in the wide, w orld
you meant."
"Well, J'll just tell you what in the
wid- world I mean," said Mr. Jobson,
oracularly. "Once in a great while I
accidentally take a peek at this stuff
in the woman's column myself, and I
ieer do this that I don't rind all sorts
of mighty practical and worth-while
suggt-.-tior:s for household economy.
Among these suggestions there are
constantly published wise little tips
as to scores, not to say hundred, of
methods whereby the big meat bills
of households may be cut down. And
let me- tell you that these tips read
in a pretty appetizing way, too. In
stead of reading- them, and profiting
and giving your husband a
li,tl Hf,. ,.,.:,,., nv ln the
matter
of expenses, you go right on chuck
ing pounds and pounds of first-class
left-over meat into the-refme can
You wouldn't think of going to the
trouble of framing up one of these
I nice little dishes comoosea of the meat
leit from a previous meal, because you
might have to devote 15 or l.'O minutes
study to it. and that would be too
much of a drain upon your vitality.'
Whereupon Mr. Jobson sat back in
his chair in his regular "that will be
about all" manner, and resumed his
riewspn ;r,
When Mr Jobson arrived home from
the office on the following afteriToon
he was hungry.
"Maybe that spring tonic I'm taking
is not phenomenal stuff," he said to
Mrs. Jobson, with a greedy look in his
eyes. "Why, I ate a bigger luncheon
to-dav than I've sat down in front of
for "0 years, and yet I've bren so hun
gry at the oiTice nearly all the after
noon that several times I was tempted
to go out somewhere and buy $18
worth of ham and eggs. Kight now I
wouldn't do a thing to a steak as big
as a bath mat. smothered in onions
or mushrooms or any old thing
Whatchoo got for dinner, anyhow?"
"Oh, something nice something
that will just suit you," replied Mrs
jobson, cheerily, as she led the way
down to the basement dining-room.
Out of the bowl iu the center of the
table she served out to Mr. Jobson a
rather savory mess, flavored with bay
leaves and spices, saying to him:
"That is a beef saute, you know-
Mrs. Kaytreet was telling me how to
make it the other day. Doesn't it
smell delightf ul? And it is so eco
nomical, too it is made from what
remained of the roast beef we had for
dinner yesterday."
"lieef sought-who?" said Mr. Job
son, looking rather crestfallen as "he
took a mouthful of the savory mess
"Well, that's a pretty good name for
it. but it tastes to mC a heap like the
plain, old-fashioned beef stew of years
ago. (lot any other kind of meat to
go with it?"
"No," said Mrs. Jobson, amiably.
"There is plenty of the saute, you
know, and the potatoes, and nice fresh
bread and butter, and, just think, I
didn't have to send out for a single,
solitary thing for to-day's dinner."
"Uii-h.uh," said Mr. Jobson, gloomily.
"Do you enjoy the saute?" inquired
Mrs. Jobson after a little pause.
"Oh, it's not such a bad beef stew
uncompromisingly replied Mr. Jobson;
out tor tne remainder ot the evening
he was unusually grumpy and quiet,
and a little before bedtime he went
out, saying that he wtis going to the
cafe around the corner to get a sand
wich and a bottle of beer.
On the following morning, when Mr
Jobson sat (town to his breakfast.
Mrs. Jobson placed on his plate a cou
ple of dark-brown, obloid-looking
things, reposing in tomato sauce.
"Another surprise for you." said
Mrs. Jobson, in her sweetest tone
"beef croquettes, and made from the
same roast beef that we had day be
fore veRtenlay, out of which I made
the saute for last evening's dinner, you
know."
"Yes, I ;now," said Mr. Jobson he
had already gulped down a cup of cof
fee rising from the table. "And I
know a!o that I am going out scine-
wheie and get something to eat for
breakfast. And 1 also know, again,
that if there's any more left of that
roast beef under this roof I'll send
