Deeds and Kind Hearts.
May 1891.

There is not a trace of winter
in our fresh green landscape
and naught but the springtime
of affectionate interest i'll my
heart for you and the good that
you are doing. Here, there, eve
rywhere, is inserted the point OF
the truest lever that ever moved
a world-that of single-hearted,
well-intentioned effort for suffer
ing men and women. Clean and
white looms up the
INFIRMARY
with its red brick annex all
ready for the interior adorning.
Day by day the sick and wound
ed are carried in. Day by day
the White Cross nurses go out
to the sick beds of those who
cannot come in. A pleasant fea-
ture III the management is the
invitation to the families of min
listers Of the gospel to come and
be healed without money and
without price. ct is not all of
life to live, nor all of death to
die" And the nurses may go to
these families free Of charge.
DONATIONS.
The Bible Society sent six BIZ
bles. Mr.. Johns, the druggist,
who has shown such substantial
interest from the first, sent a
complimentary ticket for TWEEN
ty-four glasses of soda water, a

sudden rush of hot weather

in winter flannel. The Phoenix
Hotel has been munifCent in
contributions. The list reads,
three Venison roasts, lamb roast,
and three roasts of mutton.

Of the most touching gifts was

geons.

noth Shot In the AR.

Titz Greene Washington, . great.
great granddaughter of George WASH
ington, has recently described the
Hamilton-B Burr duel as it vas seen by
his grandfather, Captain Fitz Hughes,
In the following words:
"When Captain Hughes discovered
that his friends had gone to fight, he
took a boat and a couple of slaves
both Of them good oarsmen-and
rowed az fast as possible to the battle
ground. He got there in time to see
the fight occur as follows, but not to
stop it, as was his hope: Hamilton and
Burr were each to fire twice OF thrice
at another. At the word of COM
.mand for the first fire Hamilton fired
at Burr, and Burr fired in the air
Hamilton, Of course, missing Burr
but at the second firing Hamilton fired
in the air and Burr shot Hamilton.
Hamilton thought Burr meant to kill
him as he meant to kill Burr; there
fore, Hamilton, at the first firing,
aimed to shoot Burr. Burr, deeming
that Hamilton would, of course, at the
next shot endeavor again to shoot him,
of course changed his tactics and shot
Hamilton. Hamilton, wishing not to
be outdone by Burr, and presuming
that Burr would again make no effort
to shoot him, fired his pistol off in the
air. This lie the true history of the
duel fought by these two great men,"

You can't believe
some dealers always. They want to
sell the medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy is the n that does you the
most good.
Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be a matter
of doubt. But, in the case of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's a
matter that can be proved.
With the facts before you, it's
an insult to your intelligence to
have something else offered as
"just as good"
And here's the proof : Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg-
ularities, and diseases, the Favor
tie Prescription is the only one
that's guaranteed.
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll have your
money back.
There's strength and vigor for
every tired and feeble woman,
health and a new life for every
delicate and ailing woman and if
there's no help, there's no pay.

The letters OF General Sherman now
being published in the Cosmopolitan are
unique; in fact, so far as the writer
knows, they are the only letters ever
written in the midst Of hostilities by a
great general to his daughter. We
have the brief letters Of Napoleon to
Josephine, but there is nothing ut all
resembling the Sherman letters to be
found in the literature Of a They
not only throw a new light upon the
character of the great mar himself, but
upon the operations then in progress of
being carried out. The second and last
paper, which appears In the Cosmopoli-
tan, is unique in another respect
that 1t Is illustrated by a nan who sat
at Sberman's mess table during the
campaigns of which he writes to his
daughter. This most famous of war
