THIS ELEGANT GUITAR
FOR $2.65
No more, no less, than 5,000 of them,
probably the largest contract in guitars
ever made — an instrument that posi-
tively sells from $3.50 to'$7.00. When this
lot is exhausted wo cannot- duplicate
broadcast is the confidence we feel that
every guitar sold will win for us a per-
manent patron and a friend whose
recommendation we can count upon. We
will forward the guitar to any address
C. O. D., subject to examination, upon
receipt of 50c. We, however, advise that
cash in full be sent, as that saVes return
charges for money and we stand per-
fectly ready to refund money if the
guitar is not all and more than we claim
for it. Remember our gb/ga. ass

THE SUMMER’S OUTING.
A Traveler Telia About thu Beauties of
a Trip to tbe Coast.
During these long evenings of fall
and winter, many a plan will be laid
for the bright warm days of summer,
coming bye and bye, when Nature
again assumes her lighter garments
and decks herself in green of field and
flame of flower, appropriate dressing
for her milder mood.
Plans made in advance are most apt
to be realized and be as fruitful of re-
sults as expectancy, painted them. If
I were to place before^the readers of
this paper aq. ideal outing for the sum-
mer, I would direct their attention to
the scenic division of the country,
where the eye may be pleased, the
mind broadened by contract with Na-
ture, and where health giving winds
blow away the miasmi from dulling
minds as well as aching bones. A tour
of the West is one of the most cher-
ished hopes of the rich traveler and
equally is the more humble, but provi-
dent clerk, or artisan entitled to en-
joy the awakening of the senses
caused by revelations of countries new
to him. “The Overland Route” com-
prises the scenic and historic plains
and mountains, lying between tbe Mis-
sissippi River and Western Slope.
Great minds have dwelt upon the ro-
mances of the old trails and wrought
into story and song the incidents of
travel, dangerous and, in the early
days, not free from intense suffering.
Greater minds have spanned the track-
less waste with rails of steel and
placed upon them puffing leviathams
from the shops, and attached to these
magnificent palace cars and all
the appurtenances of comfort while
traveling. The “Overland Route” is
the name adopted by the Union Pacific
sytem which crosses the now fertile,
once arid plains of Kansas and Colo-
rado, Invades the narrowing canons,
deep and forbidding, but wonderfully
attractive, as danger ever is, passes un
der frowning cliffs and around gigan-
tic promotories, bald and reaching to
ward the skies, not unlike sentinels,
which protect the secret of the mine
until men’s necessities make the un-
covering useful for the people. There
is no grander scenery than that which
the Union Pacific traverses between
Denver and the surrounding points,
and in its Westward course, through
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Wash-
ington. The Colorado parks are them-
selves a revelation to the uninitiated
and Salt Lake and its environs afford
study and entertainment and pleasure
for bright minds. “The Coast” are
words which have an indefinite mean-
ing to those who have never visited
the Western outpost of our prosperity
and advancing civilization, but it
should be seen and known, and now,
while there is time to study about the
country, is the time to lay your plans.
No more, enjoyable outing can be than
that found in all the standard guide
books describing tbe Union Pacific trip
to the Pacific coast.
A MAGNIFICENT WOMAN
M
EVERY-DAY
TALUS WITH
WOMEH
RS. PINKHAM says that irritability indicates disease.
Women who are nervous and snappish are to be
pitied. Their homes are uncomfortable; their dis-
positions grow constantly worse. Such women need the coun-
sel and treatment of a woman who understands the peculiar
troubles of her sex. ,
Mrs. Anna E. Hall, of Mill-
dale, Conn., was all run down in
health and had completely lost
control of her nerves. She wrote
to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. Now she writes:
“ I wish to thank you for what
your Vegetable Compound has done for me. It has helped me
more than anything else. I suffered for a long time with ner-
vousness, pains in back and limbs and falling of the womb;
also had neuralgia in my head and could not sleep. I told
my husband that some-
thing must be done, for
I was nearly frantic with
pain. Having read of %
the wonderful cures
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound had
performed, I determined |
to try it. I have taken 0/ c
it and am happy to say I
am cured. I recommend it
to all my friends and never
tire of telling the benefit I
have derived from its use. I
have you alone to thank
my recovery.”
Mrs. Ellen Flana-
gan, 1810 Mountain St., o°°
Philadelphia, Pa., writes: t
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham o
—Three years ago I was *
a sufferer from chronic
dyspepsia, was irritable
end cross, and can say Q
that after taking seven g
bottles of Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound was entirely cured. I take great
pleasure in writing this t<3 you and would be pleased to be
interviewed by any one who is afflicted with that distressing
complaint. I am very grateful to you.”

Mrs. Clara Makemer.
Mrs. Clara Makemer, housekeeper
for the Florence Crittenden Anchorage
Mission, of Chicago, writes the follow-
ing letter from 302 Chestnut street,
Chicago
“Peruna Is the best tonic I have ever
known .for general debility, a sure
cure for liver complaint, and a never
failing adjuster in cases of dyspepsia.
“I have used it in eases of female
irregularities and weak nerves com-
mon to the sex, and have found it
most satisfactory.”
From early girlhood to the end of
the child-bearing period few women
are entirely free from some degree of
catarrh of the pelvic organs.
With Peruna the thousand and one
ailments dependent upon catarrh of
the pelvic organs can be wholly
averted.

In warm countries like Italy ice is
very hard to get, and costs a great deal
of money. One of the princes living in
northern Italjy near ftlie mountain
ranges sells snow. The snow i.s packed
in baskets and carried by mules at
night to coast villages, where it is
shipped to the cities and sold at three
and five cents a pound. The prince has
the entire right to this trade.
