We find the following notice- of Earl Mead. son of H. C. Mead of this village, in the Elgin daily Advocate, of April 27: "A handsomely framed picture, which might be called 'Comfort,' is on exhibition at Hart's. It represents a champagne bottle, a wine glass, a half smoked cigar and a newspaper. The latter is an Elgin journal and the wine bottle suggestively hides the first two letters of the word Elgin in the paper's heading. A rich section of curtain helps make up the background. 'The colors and proportions of the picture are ex­ cellent, but the charm of the work is in its simplicity and naturalness. The artist is Earl Mead, a 16-year-old-boy of McHenry, whose only schooling in art has been three weeks of instruction an­ der Mr. Kenney of our city. Mr. Ken- ney says that young Mead is the most promising pupil he has ever had, and the lad's work certainly evinces genius. He is a relative of D. F. Bigelow, the well known Chicago artist."

Dr. D. G.

But I hesitate to commence^ The right words are not easy to think of; two or three times I've started, bnt the awful truth in print looks so shock­ ing, that I kept erasing and starting it all over again. Being a marriageable yoang woman (that is, comparatively yoang) it's a delicate subject for tne to handle, as you'll readily understand. But to get down to brass tacks, the tinth is, that none of the young men of the town ever ask the girls to marry. Now, ain't it a fright? Not only that-^bnt they won't even make a fuss oyer us. I'm speaking for the whole community of unmarried, girls, now, and not jnst for one or tvro shelf-worn, moth-eaten antiquated old derelicts whom a blind man wouldn't smile at, much less many. I'm no Venus myself.. But I'm no Perfect Fright, either. I'm an American Jg^antv compared with some of these spindle-shanked* cadaverous old skeletons that give themselves such airs. I don't know what the trouble is. Bnt yon know this town is just fall of bachelors--fellows that have either brains or money. I don't mean that you often find the combination. But when you've got one, it is a sort of com­ pensation for the absence of the other. And we old girls who are losing ont would be satisfied with a modest amount of either. I repeat it, Mister Editor, something's wrong with the men. They're not stuck up, for some of them go about without shaving for a week, and flirt with the waitresses in the restaurants. And I don't thick they're naturally shy and hermit like, for I've often seen them rush up to other men and drag 'em into an open door and talk about "having something." But they jnst won 't pay any attention to as girls. Girls here give parties and try their best to show the boys a good time; the boys will come, sure they will, and eat what we fix up for them; but they never come back again till therms something more to eat in sight, or we've framed up a little dance that won't cost them much. They never chink of planning any amusement for us. I hope the very ones I am thinking abont will see this, and read it. It will "hit the spot" if they do, for nearly all the boys in town are alike. This kick don't apply to the calf love of the high school children. Puppy love is an epidemic there, as it is in mQflfc nfhur anto 11 /tjfjaa TKg delinquent gentlemen I refer to are the old baps about town--those who work in offices, have lawyers' cards hanging on their doors, roll pil's, and write copy for the newspapers--i hat s the good-for- nothing bunch we forlorn maidens have it in for. Gee, but they are selfish. But I reckon I've said enough. I think may­ be you'll- print this; I've noticed lately that the Cosmos-Monitor has been print­ ing the news, regardless of people's corns and the sore spots of old croakers who think they own the town, so may­ be you'll give us girls a chance to say a word. I don't know whether any mar­ riageable man will get enough worked up over this to answer, but if he does, or if it even si art * them to thinking, I'll have done my part and not worked in vain.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful- &fcl •» PH ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis­ eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom- li* tiinn fnr n child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet- ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi­ culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser­ able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root i3 soon realized.
