THE SUNDAY LIGHT.
KI NhAY NOVEMBER s. I8»w.
A brilliant complexion is a beauty in it
self. It pleases the eyes of thoughtless
people and the minds of thinking people.
They know that a really good complexion
is a sign of health and created by Nature.
There are different ways of imitating a fine
complexion : cosmetics which deceive no-
body but ruin the skin and make the user
look silly and prematurely old ; stimulants
which only give a temporary flush; danger-
ous drugs which drive pimply disorders
from the face back into the blood. All
these "counterfeit” complexions are un-
safe and easily detected. But the genuine
unmistakeable much-admired color and
clearness of health can only be obtained
by clearing all bilious matters and humors
out of the blood.
The first step towards creating a good
complexion by Nature's own method is to
get the blood clear and the circulation free
and active. There is no complexion so sal-
low muddy or pimply but it will be cleared
and brightened by Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It is the best natural
complexion-maker on earth. It sends the
' fresh glow of real health to the cheeks by
thoroughly clearing all bilious and eruptive
humors out of the blood. It strengthens
the digestion and regulates the bowels in
a mild natural way. It gives brighter color
to the blood and not only beautifies the
complexion but makes the eyes brighter
and the breath sweeter.
If the bowels be very much constipated
it will be advisable to take small doses of
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets conjointly
with the use of the “Golden Medical Dis-
covery.” One or two each day—just suf-
ficient to get their laxative and alterative
or blood cleansing effect will be sufficient.
AT THE PLAY
The house is lone! I sit and watch
within the caverned gilded hall.
And gaze upon the curtain dark which
hides the music world from all!
No sound of life lieyond the line which
fences form ours—
And wait the thrill of beauty life of
music loveliness.and Howers!
At the Play!
I could not cross that magic line! I
would not break the olden spell.
Of simple player folk who charm
whose motly guise does tit them
well.
They hold the mirror up to Life we
hang onwards with dying fall.
And catch the counterparts we know
—to own that we are actors all:
At the Play!
The grimmest play is full ofem cm cc
The grimmest game is played in
front! See Fashion’s gratis Beau-
ty Show!
The tinsel hero in real life—the ma
tron sly. with virtue's glow.
And Folley's cap and bells that decks
full many a known and famous
head.
The "heavy villian” from "the street"
and Innocense bv sung vice led!
At the Play!
But. “Good Form's” make up hides
the rongue. who judges in the
"avant scene"
Where sly old wolves herd passive
sheep with gentle lambkins hid
between—
The house tills up! Their plots I
catch the social dramas of today.
With many a. desperate schemer's
wiles that ne'er a prompter doth
gainsay
At Life's Play!
Mark now the sea of waving plumes
the heaving bosoms gleaming eyes
'llie signal of Love's telegraph Intri-
gues dark hints and. Passion's
sighs!
There’s rippling music in soft rythm
and hearts that throb at mimic
woe.
Whose tragedies are running on. as
crowding froth these actors go
From tlie Play!
With happy touch of art's finesse the
curtain falls! the drama done!
The lovers happy—all are right—the
villians punished—every one!
Bereft of splendor leaving all the
mimic miseries behind
The players forget darkest deeds and
sally forth with tranquil mind
From the Play!
But Fashion's crowd that nods "in
front" goes forth their first act
but began.
The spiders in their silken webs are
deftly weaving every one.
With change of scene their play goes
on! The game of high life fierce
and hard.
Where many a dark design is hatched
p.ißMjouu sosjno nt oar oi
At the Play!
Fierce play of life with souls at stake
with hearts and honor gained
therein.
Where vice creeps safely on unscath-
ed and conscious virtue does not
win.
Where trampled Merit sinks unknown
where fop and wanton rising
higher.
Bule over plodding honest worth!
Life shines in all its falsest fire
At the Play!

DREISS HILL GOSSIP.
The past week hits been a very
quiet one for Dreiss hill every-
thing being suspended on ac-
count of interest in the election.
Not a social funscion of any
kind took place on the Hill the
young folks in particular turning
out en masse to celebrate Mc-
Kinley's triumph and watch the
latest returns in the city. There
is one thing sure if the young
people of Dreiss hill could have
participated in the battle of bal-
lots McKinley’s majority in this
city would have been increased
considerably. The voting popu-
lace of the hill was about equally
divided on the presidential ques-
tion and in consequence some of
Bryan's admirers are wearing
rather lengthy faces while the
McKinleyites are in high glee.
The McKinley flags raised on
the residence of Mr. (’. L.
Burgess corner South Pim* and
Dakota streets are still floating
to the breeze. These were the
only flags raised on the hill.
Even the devotional meeting
of the Westminster League of the
Vine street church was very slim-
ly attended Tuesday night and
the exercises hurried through af-
ter which the congregation pro-
ceeded to Alamo plaza where
the election returns wen* watch
ed.

his well groomed horses. As
soon as the weather clears up the
city prisoners will be brought
out to clear away the brush a-
roiuid the engine house.
Ilie way the streets have been
washed in this vicinity by the
recent rains is something awful.
There is a place at the corner
of South Olive ami Wyoming
streets that is very dangerous to
pedestrians after night being as
it is quite deep.

VERDICT REACHED AT LAST
But the Process Was so Que<
That the Plaintiff Demurred.
Juries sometimes have a quet

After the jury retired several
ballots were taken but no agree-
ment was reaeli<*d. As the after-

after ballot was taken the jury
standing ten for the jplaintiff
and two for the defendant.
The two were stubborn but as
10 o'clock apparoaebed they
showed an anxiety to compromise
in order to catch the last train
for home. It was agreed that six
slips three marked defendant
and the same number marked
plaintiff should be placed into a
hat and drawn out. the first three

were drawn from the hat the
fifth making the third with the
word defendant written upon it.
