The most critical period in woman's lie may be properly called Blossoning Time. " It is the period when she blossoms from giTlhood into weInanhood.
 At this 1nomentous time the best nedi- cine for woman to take is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts directly up- on the delicate and important organs that are to bear the burdens of wifehood and motherhood 1t makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. If corrects all Irregularities and displacements and stops exhausting drains Taken during the pe- r1od of expectant maternity, it banishes the usual annoyauces and makes baby's coming easy and almost painless. t in- sures the newcomers health and an ample supply of nourishnent. It transforms weak, sick1y, nervous, complaining wo-
 .ea into happy healthy wives. Thou sands of women have told over their own signatures, the story of the marvellous merits of this great medicine. An hon. est dealer will not try to persuade YOU to take something different from what you ask for, for the sake, of few pennies ad- ded profit.
 Mrs. Anna U1rich, of Elm Creek, Buffalo Co.,, Neb. writes: " I was undef doctors care for two years with uterine disease. I was so weak that could sit up in bed only few mo- tpents. commenced taking Dr. Peree's Fa- vorite Prescription and when I had taken one half dozen bottles was up and going wherever pleased, and have been very strong ever since that was two years and half-ago."

WHY SHE WAS GRACIOUS.
A Lover Who Easily Fell Into an Ingcn-
 ious Trap.

ious Trap.
 She was particularly gracious that night, and he was eorrtspondingly happy. He felt that he had made an impression at 1nst
 She let him hold her hand q minute when she welcomed him, and he thought in fact, he was quite sure-that she re. sponded to the gentle squeeze he gave it, and heretofore she had been so distant so cold, although always courteous Surely it was enough to make him feel happy. Then sho laughed at his witticisms, and there was something in her manner that invited him to draw his chair closer to hers. Of course he accepted the invitation, and almost before he knew it he found himself whispering all sorts of silly things to her, whlle she listened with downoast eyes.
 It was blissful, and yet there WAS greater pleasure in storo for him. She blushed and hesitated a little as she asked if he had q photograph of himself.
 Of course he had, and she should have One'that very night. He would go for one at once. She protested that that was not necessary, but he insisted. She should have anything that she wanted and have 1t at once
 She thanked him so eoyly and sweetly whom he brought it that tho boy was near ly insane with joy, and when he left she let him hold her hand again for minute.
 Then, as ho walked away with q light step and q light heart, she handed the photograph to her maid and said with de- sision:
 "Mary, hang that in the servants hall, whero every ono can sec 1t, and remember that am never home when he calls. must stop this thing somehow, and mann. ma changes servants so often he gets in every week or two now ''-Harlem Life.
 4rruit Foods
 Each year folks grow to toaprreoiate more flllly the value of fruit and eat it not as luxury, but ns staple article of food. Fruits are nourishing, refreshing, appetiz- ing and purifying, and consequently have effect upon the health and the complexion. Yet there arc differences. Grapes and ap- ples are highly nutritious. Grapes usually agree with the most delicate persons, for they are so easily digested. Nothing is sasier to digest than baked apple taken sither with or without cream. Oranges. lemons and Hines are of great value as a means of improving the complexion, and they are especially good if taken bef're breakfast. Ripe peaches are easy of digs ton, and are fattening. Nothing is better to enrich the blood than strawberries, which contain larger percentage of iron than any other fruit. Fruit with firm flesh, like apples, cherries or plums, should be thoroughly masticated; otherwise they are difficult ss digest. The skin of raw fruit should nsver be eaten, and before cay ing grapes O any small fruit care should be taken to remove ali impurities by wash Ing. Never swallow grape stones. Stale

when does high priced wheat benefit the farmer, is question yariously an swered. It does not do so at all seasons of the year. If the rise in wheat comes suddenly ill the spring, just when tho old stock of grain is low and tho new is not yet in sight, speculators and grain dealers get all the advantage of it. If, however, a sharp advance comes about harvest time, when eight out of every ten agriculturists sell their wxat, then the farmer will get his shaT5 of the good prices.

THE SUPREME JUDGESHLP.

Before another issue OA AAo 40
gress appears the 4th OF Marcn WIZ
have come and gone and doubt
less Governor Foster will have
made that muchly talked OF ap-
pointment to the Supreme Bench
vice McEnery kicking Blanchard
out. >.
Tn the minds of nine-tenths OF
the people of our State there Is no
question as to whom the plum Will
fall to: with almost one accord all
sav "to Senator Blanchard. But
this fact is far from compliment
tary to that gentleman; it Will oy
no means reflect honor or credit on
the power which will bestow II.
Not one-tenth of all who say that
Senator Blanchard will be the ap-
pointec, believe it to be due to MS
fitness or as a reward OF merit.
To the contrary, they believe the
crime will fall on unworthy snoul-
ders. Not to high qualification
and common-will will the Execu-
tive endow the gentleman with an
INSIGNIA which should be an en-
blem of purity, bedecking one as
free from guile and devoid OF
prejudice as the spotless cloak 1t
self. No coronation of potentate
should be Of deeper solemnity, MOI
further removed from the game OF
debilitating politics than should oe
the placement on the shoulders o.
lawyer, the mantle OF place OF
our Supreme Bench; and yet
, should the impression prevailing
prove to be true, there cannot o'
found in all our State one man
less he be an imbecile-who VII
not believe that the appointmen
of Senator Blanchard will be bu
: the fulfillment of as detestable
: dicker as was ever entered into
s the politics of Louisiana. A dick

VALE BLANCHARD.

ard will be a Supreme Judge be-
fore The Progress greets its read
ers again, and believing that even
he will have enough appreciation
of the common proprieties OF the
nosition Ito remain silent for
awhile, The Progress desires to say
to him during that while, Vale
And it may not be out OF place
here for The Progress to say that
it is perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit of the issue between SENATOR
blanchard and its editor.
On July 4th, 1895, with nothing
to sustain him but brazenness'
egotism and selfishness, this gen
tleman at the head Of political
mob of satellites went to the
courthouse and captured meet
ing called by our editor, meeting
in which Senator Blanchard had
no more legitimate right than has
a Methodist in a Roman Catholic
or Jewish church assembly. TINS
he knew as well as any one, but
Blanchard must be perpetuated In
Office though the State goes to rum
, and he and his minions were there.
Through the modesty and timidity
: of the chairman of the meeting
| alone, this great political warrior
t and diplomat did capture the
t meeting; and how proud he did
a feel over the conquest?
n But Louisiana still has brave
: sons and when the illegimate sol
+ of this meeting which claimed )
e M. Foster as it's mother and n. Z
u Blanchard as its father, presented
itself at New Orleans it was de
n clared bastard and returned e
1t the confines of the town which CAV

these may be added the certificate
trail Committee of the BIN etallic
League certifying to a resolution
which was never passed. And to
all these was added the personal
appeal of this great Caddo states
man, claiming that Democracy was
being endangered and appealing
to men, as a personal favor to him,
to come to the meeting and help
him out. At his command also
two daily newspapers of our city
sent forth the message in stento-
rian tones, daily, "Come to Shreve-
port We loyal citizens Of Caddo!
and save the Democracy" And
against this formidable array of
varied talent who was the oppos-
er? An obscure justice Of the
peace, the editor of The Progress.
A man with no reputation for po-
litical management at all and who
was as far from inclined to attempt
to wrest the title Of leadership
from the great Senator as his own
son was. But truth eternal, JUS
tice sublime and consistency
supreme were his weapons, against
which the Senator pitted sordid
selfshness and an unholy ambi-
ton. By dextrous Introduction
of resolutions incompatible with
the spirit of the meeting, collect
