When young woman sits down and
ponders over her future life, there is one
all-important subject which she should not
forget In a day dream she may build
castles in the air with happy home, laugh
ing children and a loving husband in the
foreground. At that moment she may be
facing death. Matrimony and motherhood
hold out no happiness to the young woman
who suffers from weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. The wo.
man who suffers in this way will be weak,
nervous, sickly, petulaut wife, an incapable
mother and an unamable hostess. Not
knowing the truth, her acquaintances will
not understand that she is deserving of
pity rather than reproach.
Any woman may be strong and healthy
in a womanly way il she will use the right
remedy. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the best of all medicines for weak and
ailing women. II acts directly on the de.
hcate and important organs that make wife
hood and motherhood possible 1t makes
them strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t
banishes the dangers that surround ma
ternity. II insures a healthy baby and an
ample supply of nourishment. Thousands
of women who we're weak, sckly nervous
invalids, are now healthy, robust wives and
competent mothers of healthy children, as
Lfhe result of the use of this medicine.

Colonel Buck of Georgia.

Major Sidney Herbert, well known Geor-

us that our sketch of Col. A. E. Buck in
The journal of April Sth was incomplete
After the war Col. Buck settled in Alabama
and represented the Mobile district in the
41st Congress. This is the most important
district in the State and yet Col. Buck made
fine record for himself and his constitu-
ents. Later he came to Atlanta, Ga, where
he became a prosperous and influential citi-
zen, being engaged with Gen. W. T. Sher-
man and Gen. Willard Warren in mining
operations. AS Clerk of the q. S. Courts
for many years Col Buck made an enviable
reputation. Although he was Boss Buck
and dreaded Republican in public life, in
private circles he and his estimable wife
have always stood high, and their elegant
house on Peachtree street, Atlanta, was the
centre of a most delightful and cultured So
cal circle. In every sense he is worthy to
represent our nation at the Japanese Court.

Saturday evening, April 18th, the ladies
of Brooks Lodge of Good Templars, under
the leadership of Mrs. Matte G. Gowen,
made decided hit. The male members
of the Lodge were decidedly surprised
and much entertained by woman's town
meeting, and if the women carry into real
business the same vim and ingenuity that
they put into the burlesque town meeting
there will be some lively times when the
women are allowed to vote. The costumes

while the return on the warrant was duly

After the election of moderator the diff

original and amusing, if not an exhibition
of rare wisdom and deep insight into mu-

doubt that the women can talk in public
if they really undertake it. Some Of the
articles discussed were as follows:
To see if the town will vote to put a

To see if the town will vote to tax the
cats for the benefit of the Brooks band
To see what action the town will take
in regard to letting Democrats vote

Hon. Seth MilIIken.

The sad news of the death of Congress
man Seth L. Milliken reached me to- day,
and | can only say that my tears have
fallen and my heart has been saddened to
think that he can walk with us no more.
He died at his post Of duty at the Capital
of the county, where he has long shown
ability as statesman and as an advoc ate
of the principles upheld by the great
party of Lincoln, of Sumner, of Fessenden
and of Blaine.
1 have known Mr.. Milliken long and
well, having spent my early boyhood days
in the town of Montville, where he first
beheld the light of day, and l regarded
him as one of the ablest and most elo-
wealth. The grand old State of Maine
which gave him birth has less than one
seventh of the number of Pennsylvania S
representation in Congress, but, together
with our Senators. they have long had
more influence in the halls of national
legislation, and in the affairs of the Re-
publican party, than any State in the
Union. OF the early struggles of Mr..
Milliken with poverty the citizens of the
Third Maine District are, trust, familiar
We have been told that he paid his way
through college by his own labor, the
only aid he received being 50 given him by
his grandmother from her revolutionary
pension, when he called upon her during
a journey of forty miles on foot to school.
All honor to his manly efforts in secur-
ing an education and in his struggles for
eminence in political life. God bless
his earnest words spoken many times to
me in recent years upon the great ques-
ton of temperance and moral reform
But dear friend NIlliken is dead; [ can
hear his pleasant voice no more.
"Ah friend dear friend and can it be
Thy last kind word is said?
That all too late my token comes
10 cheer the pulselesS dead?
Here on thy cold unheaving breast,
The beautiful rose l lay,
The last, poor symbol of a love
That cannot fade away"
FAREWELL dear friend-farewel, dear
smiling face, that always greeted me so
cheerfully- farewell, we shall meet in the
sweet by and by.

million of suffering women cry with

shell fish which produced the Tyrian pur-

sage in Exodus, "And of the blue and pur-

to do service in the holy place; and made

An Easter Tragedy.

1t was awful, as they tell it in the town of
Genesee,
OF the fate Of poor Miss Wigges and her
bran-new Easter hat;
1t is very, very seldom that we find
tragedy
That contains so much of horror as was
brought about by that.
Miss Wiggles was lady with a millinery
taste
That was truly quite remarkable; I never
knew its like;
She could make splendid bonnet from the
merest bit of waste,
A bonnet that cen Virot at her best would
hardly strike.
But it latterly did happen--oh, how sad a
tale to tell
Miss Wiggles gave up ribbons and laid in
stock of wings,
Little wings of little brides, and the larger
ones as we'll
She didn't even spare the little yellow
bird that sings.
And then on Easter-Sunday. with her hat
upon her head,
With twenty seven pinlons struggling all
about the rim,
Miss Wiggles went to service, and, as usual,
she led
In the saying Of responses and the singing
of the hymn.
Now how 1t was 1T happened i confess | do
not know,
miracle l doubt not must have been the
cause of it;
But as she sat demurely in the very fore
most row
Those wings began to flntter and to wobbe
and to fit.
And before the poor dear lady could take
out her bonnet pins
And free herself, the bonnet hauled her
upward by the hair,
And with sundry pirouttings and with
several dizzy spins
She foated up the steepie and out in the
open air.
So let this be warning to you, maidens of
to-day,
Who kill the little brides with their
babies and their mates,
1t may be you'll be treated in this very self
same way
By the wings that you have chosen just to
decorate your pates.
