WOMAN'S WORLD. A JAPANESE GIRL WHO WRITES CLEVER SHORT STORIES. Dress For Dinner—Her Occupation Gone—Learn How to Do Something. Vogue of the Overskirt—Now They Wear Suspenders. The west is constantly producing clever writers, so fresh and vigorous as to be a never ending source of surprise to the older part of the continent. Among those who have recently appeared none has sprung more rapidly into notice as a successful short story writer than Onoto Watanna, the young half Japanese, half English, girl who makes her home in Chicago. Although not strictly a western production, Miss Watanna may justly be claimed by that portion of the country, as it is there that she has done most of the work that has brought her fame. In the scrapbook in which she keeps a copy of her published stories and in which she makes delightful and original marginal notes she has written opposite a story entitled "A Japanese Girl." "This is the first Japanese story I ever wrote. It appeared in The Com- ONOTO WATANNA. mercial Tribune of Cincinnati." While in that city a couple of years ago she submitted a tale of American life to the editor. It was so good that he advised her to write something of Japan. other sources of revenue to raise values. One of these is royalties it owns on 5000 acres leased to capitalists for development. Still further, the California Consolidated Petroleum company has in its treasury two million five hundred thousand shares of the stock of fifty of the leading oil companies of the State. This plan gives the stockholders an interest in the earnings of all the different fields. From the view point of the investor this plan affords the surest, safest opportunity for profit it is possible to adopt. It is confidently expected that by July 16 next, all the stock offered at 50c per share will be subscribed for, and the price raised to one dollar per share. As set forth in the advertisement which appears in this issue, the company's stock is absolutely non-assessable, there being no personal liability to the stockholder. This insures a square deal and prevents the "freezing out" of the small stockholder. You will make no mistake in securing while you can some of the stock of the California Consolidated Petroleum company. This company is the most formidable rival the Standard Oil company has ever encountered, and having ample capital its success is assured. It does not require a prophet to foresee that its 50-cent stock will be worth several times that amount. Stock redeemable on demand at any time within thirty days from date of certificate. All money paid in installments refunded on demand at any time within thirty days from date of first payment. If you do not want your stock, send to company, and you will promptly get every cent of your money back. Curious Story. A curious story is printed in London regarding the Duke of York. It avers in January a bevy of four beautiful Oriental maidens arrived at York House, and announced themselves as a present from a certain dusky potentate. The Prince of Wales' son did not desire to offend the giver, yet he could scarcely accept, so, in some way or another, the maidens were returned and there was no offense. Bad Blood is a bad thing.

STOCKTON, June 19.—Much commemorated was caused here today when it became known that Miss Edith Forrest had been married by contract to Charles Lausing in 1894, a fact that was revealed when a divorce was granted in San Francisco last week at the request Mrs. Lausing, who was allowed to assume her maiden name Ofrest. It is said that these proceedings were taken as Miss Forrest is soon to wed an army officer who recently returned from the Philippine islands, and is present in the East, but intends to co-ordinate this coast shortly. Miss Forrest is quite a society bestowed of late has been the secretary of the Standard Electric company, with headquarters in San Francisco. Years she has resided in Stockton where her parents and has always been known as Miss Forrest. Lausing was also social whirl at the time the marriage occurred, but later, it is alleged he became mixed up in some questionable transactions at Sacramento Reno, Nev., and deserted his wife, who was pleased to be rid of him. Mrs. Lausing continued to residence home, and not even her most intimate friends were aware that she had been secretly married to Lansing. The couple could easily keep their secret as they took out no marriage license and the ceremony was performed by a justice of the peace at Freed Camp, who has since died. To me the affair still more secret, a fire troyed the records of the justice shown before he died, and had neither of them contracting parties wished to say anything about it no one would have been the wiser.

ONOTO WATANNA. mercial Tribune of Cincinnati.” While in that city a couple of years ago she submitted a tale of American life to the editor. It was so good that he advised her to write something of Japan. She acted on his suggestion, and the following week The Tribune published the first of the stories which are becoming so well known to magazine readers. She cannot be cloaked as a painstaking writer, since she produces her stories much too rapidly to bestow much care upon them. “A Noble’s Daughter” was written in one morning. Her favorite is “Boo Boo,” the pathetic story of a half Japanese who finds life “too hard.” The marginal note in the scrapbook reads: “This story is in my mind the best thing I have written. It is human, and, after all, that is more than being extraordinary.” Miss Watanna’s talents are not confined to writing fiction. She is a clever business woman also. Being one of a large family, whom she was anxious to help, she studied stenography, and so expert did she become that a year or two later, when assistant editor of the Jamaica News-Letter, she was asked to report the debates of the legislative council and enjoyed the distinction of being the only woman present at the meetings of the colonial parliament. The yellow fever drove her to this country, and she continued her stenographic work in Cincinnati and later in Chicago, accepting a clerical position which left her free during several hours of the day to continue her literary work. In appearance, Miss Watanna is decidedly Japanese with the black hair and eyes of her countrywomen, but in stature she is taller than they. In her simplicity of speech and belief that all mankind are as honest as herself she resembles the fascinating characters of her own stories. A noticeable point in her productions is the fact that the Japanese, in spite of her simplicity and contrary to the accepted theory, always triumphs over the American sister and modestly carries off the laurels.—Philadelphia Press. Dress For Dinner. Shall one dress for dinner every day? The custom of making dinner to some extent a meal of ceremony has a great deal to be said in its favor. In town life most people dine at the end of the day, when business and cares are behind them, when they have time to enjoy their food in a leisurely manner, and also to unbend and give themselves up to pleasant talk, agreeable jesting and happy social intercourse. Of course one makes a special and, if possible, a beautiful toilet, when going to dine with friends, but also in one's own house, and at the ordinary evening meal, it is a sensible plan to make such a change in one's dress as shall mark the lividing line between work and play. A lady will please her family by keeping an appropriate gown, not perhaps too formal or elaborate, but still beautiful and becoming, which she may, Bad Blood is a bad thing. It is responsible for scroffula, salt rheum lumps and many other diseases including rheumatism and that tired feeling. Bad blood is made good blood by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Sick headache is cured by Hood's Pills. 25c Australian Fly. By means of a little Australian fly the farmers of Livermore valley, Alameda county, are in hopes of exterminating the invading horde of grasshoppers, which for many years past have been want to devastate their crops. The protective insect has been successfully experimented with. A number recently imported have been released on the McNally tract near Livermore. A Good Cough Medicine. It speaks well for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy when druggists use it in their own families in preference to any other. "I have sold Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for the past five years with complete satisfaction to myself and customers," says Druggist J. Goldsmith, Van Etten, N. Y. "I have always used it in my own family both for ordinary coughs and colds and for the cough following la gripe, and find it very efficacious." For sale by P. A. Derge, druggist. California Consolidated Petroleum Company. This is an age of consolidation, and the California Consolidated company is born of this successful principle. The "ten-cent" oil companies are of few days and full of trouble. They must strike oil in their first wells or burst, for with their money gone in a dry hole their stock is killed. If they survive they will be swallowed by the California Consolidated or the Standard, for such is the history of the oil business. There is only room for two oil concerns like the California Consolidated and the Standard on the Pacific Coast. These two giants will inevitably control the oil business of California, and it is those wise enough to see this who are buying the stock of the California Consolidated Petroleum company, whose stock is likely, ere long, to make its holders rich. Already the stocks of a few other oil companies, bought at a nominal figure, are worth on the market several hundred dollars per share, and the time is not distant when a small block of this stock may mean a competence to the fortunate owner. Certain it is that the present price will soon be doubled, and those desiring non-assessable oil stock in a solid company, backed by solid men, will do well to carefully read the company's ad, which appears in this issue. Stock redeemable on demand at any time within thirty days from date of certificate. All money paid in installments refunded on demand at any time within thirty days from date of first payment. If you do not want your stock, send to company and you will promptly get every cent of your money back. HOOD VS. HOOD. C.I.Hood & Co., Victorious in Important Cases—Injunction Against Dr.J.C.Hood.

A lady will please her family by keeping an appropriate gown, not perhaps too formal or elaborate, but still beautiful and becoming, which she may, as a rule, wear to dinner. Her husband may well pay her the compliment of exchanging his business coat for a dinner coat and of sitting down to his own table with an air of leisure and dignity incompatible with business clothes. The young people of the house are the better for constantly recognizing the claims of politeness in so often a recurring thing as this. In well bred households, says The Bazar, even the children are encouraged—are, indeed, obliged—always to come to every meal with their faces and hands immaculate and their clothing in good order, but more than this is required of those who are grown up, and the custom of dressing for dinner, which implies an evening spent afterward in music or agreeable social conversation, is one to be recommended. The Excitement Not Over. The rush at the drug store still continues, and daily scores of people call for a bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the Throat and Lungs for the cure of coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis and consumption. Kemp's Balsam, the standard family remedy, is sold on a guarantee and never fails to give entire satisfaction. Price 25c and 35c. A Good Plan. The California Consolidated Petroleum company has issued a folder concisely setting forth its objects, which is the prettiest piece of printing yet seen in connection with the oil industry, and it is well worth reading and passing around. The plans of this company are more extensive than those of the ordinary oil company, in that they insure to the holders of its stock profits in all the oil fields of the State, as it owns large holdings in all the fields. It owns the only hydraulic rotary drilling rigs ever brought to California, and will lead all others in the development of oil. It will keep twenty drilling rigs in operation in twenty fields between Oakland and San Diego. On the first strike of oil its directors are confident its stock will jump above par value, as it has HOOD VS. HOOD. C. I. Hood & Co. Victorious in Important Cases—Injunction Against Dr. J. C. Hood. Important suits have just been decided in the U.S. Circuit Courts involving the right to the word Hood or Hood's Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co., of Lowell, Mass., proprietors of Hood's Sarsaparilla, began suit for infringement against Dr. J. C. Hood of Louisville, Ky., who was putting up what he called "Dr. Hood's Sarsaparilla." After a hearing in the U.S. Circuit Court at Louisville, Judge Evans on April 12 granted a temporary injunction in favor of C. I. Hood & Co., and restraining J. C. Hood from using the word Hood in any way or form on any preparation of sarsaparilla. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. also began suit against a retail druggist in Indianapolis, Louis H. Renkert, who was selling Dr. J. C. Hood's Sarsaparilla. Dr. J. C. Hood employed counsel and made a defense, but Judge Baker of the U.S. Circuit Court granted an injunction which on April 23 became perpetual. These two decrees establish the exclusive right of C. I. Hood & Co. to the word "Hood's" and decide in effect that no other person can put up a Hood's Sarsaparilla even if his name is Hood, nor can any retail druggist sell or offer for sale any sarsaparilla bearing the name Hood or Hood's other than that prepared by C. I. Hood & Co. These decisions will be gratifying to every fair minded person. No manufacturer should object to fair competition, but when an attempt is made to steal or infringe upon a business which has been established by great skill, labor and expenditure, justice cannot be dealt out too quickly. Nor should "substitution" be allowed, when a standard article is called for. Therefore when you go to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla you should be sure to get "only Hood's."

Many people believe that horses do not weep, but those who have much to do with these faithful creatures know that on several occasions they will shed tears as well as express sorrow in the most heartbreaking manner. In the west, where the hardiness of the ponies causes the riders to almost overlook the necessity of providing for their needs, it is quite common when the weather is extremely cold to leave an unblanketed pony tied up for two or three hours when the temperature is nearly zero and while its owner is transacting business or getting drunk. In this case the suffering is evidenced by the cries, which are almost like sobs, and unmistakable tears freeze on to the cheeks like icicles. When a horse falls in the street and gets injured, the shock generally numbs the senses so much that it does not either cry or groan, but under some conditions an injured horse will solicit sympathy in the most distinct manner. I remember a favorite horse of my own which trod on a nail long enough to pierce its foot. The poor thing hobbled up to me on three legs and cried as nearly like a child in trouble as anything I can describe. The sight was a very touching one, as was also the crippled animal's gratitude when the nail was pulled out and the wound dressed. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Pursuit of Pleasure. We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruits. But the fact is that a blunder of this description is made by every person who is overeager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure. Virtue. The elements of virtue are at the bottom of every heart, and, though they may be trampled underfoot and crushed into the mud, they still exist, and, when rescued and restored, nobility and manhood will grow out of them.

Poets have been fond of likening woman to a flower. Her fairness is flowerlike. Her sweetness suggests the flower fragrance. Her very fragility finds its type again in the frail flower, which languishes when neglected, and is so easily destroyed. It is a pretty simile and almost as perfect as pretty. All women love flowers, and every woman who grows them knows that their health depends on daily care. Not alone are water and sunshine necessary to the health of the plant. Their leaves and roots must be guarded from the parasites which destroy the flower's beauty and undermine its life. If a woman would care for herself as she does for her plants she would preserve her beauty and retain her strength far beyond the period when the average woman looks old and feels older than she looks. THE GREAT SEORET Of woman's preservation of her beauty lies in the intelligent care of the womanly health. So close is the relation between the health of the delicate womanly organs and the health of the whole body, that whenever the feminine functions are deranged or disturbed the consequences are felt by every nerve in the body. Severe headache, backache, pain in the side, and bearing-down pains are borne by so many thousands of women that one who is in sound health is a rare exception. Most women would give anything to know how to be cured. The way is very plain. Follow the path made by more than a half million women who have been perfectly cured of womanly ill and weakness.

I cannot express the relief, it was so great. Seven months later my little daughter was born without much trouble. I feel that I would never have been able to endure my confinement had it not been for the help I received from Dr. Pierce's medicines. My baby was a fine, healthy child, and the only one I have ever been able to nurse. She is now two years old and I have never had to take any medicine since, so I feel that your medicine has made a lasting cure with me.

It makes weak women strong, sick women well. It regulates the periods, stops disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It prepares the wife for motherhood, gives her vigor and physical strength, so that the birth hour is practically painless. It is the best of tonics because it contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. For working women in the home, store or schoolroom it is an invaluable medicine. It quiets the nerves, increases the appetite, and causes restful and refreshing sleep. Nursing mothers will find no tonic so beneficial to mother and child as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

All stock paid for in cash is redeemable, on demand, at 50 cents per share, the present price, at any time within thirty days from date of certificate. All money paid in installments refunded on demand at any time within thirty days from date of first payment. This proposal is made in good faith and with capital to back it. It will be faithfully carried out, not for a few days, but for years, as the California Consolidated Petroleum Company is in the field to stay, and will continue this protective policy. The stock of the California Consolidated Petroleum Company, now 50 cents per share, will soon be advanced to one dollar per share, its par value. This advance will be stable, because the revenues will justify it, and because the company is strong enough to maintain it. It can never be worth less than fifty cents per share under the Company's permanent policy of gold redemption. Any corporation that has faith in itself and in its future, and that intends to advance the price of its stock, can well afford to thus protect its shareholders, for in protecting them it protects itself, for they are the company. The California Consolidated Petroleum Company owns 10,000 acres of the cream of the oil fields between Oakland and San Diego. It owns royalties on 5,000 acres leased to capitalists. It owns 2,500,000 shares of stock in fifty selected companies. The first to introduce hydraulic rotary drills in California. This machine has a record of 1200 feet in 30 hours. We divide your Risks, and Multiply Your Profits. The rich man buys stock in many oil companies to protect himself from loss in any one that may fail. The poor man buys the stock of one company and takes his chances of success or failure. California Consolidated Petroleum Company Makes it possible for the poor man to protect himself as does the rich man, for a single share in the California Consolidated Petroleum Company represents an interest in FIFTY companies and an interest in 10,000 acres of oil land, and royalties on 5000 acres. By giving you an interest in FIFTY companies, and in these lands and royalties, we divide your risks, and thus we MULTIPLY your profits. California is richer in oil than it ever was in gold. Its annual oil output will soon exceed in value its annual gold product. Millions of dollars are being made in California oil. People owning a small block of oil stock have suddenly found themselves rich. As an instance of this the stock of the Home Oil Company which sold originally at a nominal figure made its owners over $5000 per share. An investment in this Company is at least safe, and it may mean ease and comfort for life. The small stockholder is absolutely protected. He cannot be assessed or frozen out. The Company's stock is NON-ASSESSABLE and there is no stockholder's liability. Stock is certain to go to $1 in 90 days, and may go to $5 by January. He is lucky who gets the stock at fifty cents per share. Why buy the stock of an oil company having limited resources when you can in one company invest in the entire oil field of California?
