Y Ray Humors.

A negro, familiar with chicken
coops, who had heard of the illumi-
mating power of the Xrays, consult
ed a doctor to learn whether they
could reveal whose chicken he had
eaten. Listener of the Boston Tran
script tells of boy who also had
confidence i'll the ability of the rays
to make apparent hidden things.
A little 13-year-old boy who has
been the victim of hip trouble and
of several operations, SO that he at
least may be pardoned for thinking
and talking about surgery, heard
that small friend of his was in
danger of having to undergo an OPP
GRAFTON for some trouble in the stom-
ach, and he said gravely to the
child's mother:
"Well, if I were you, Mrs. D., I'd
first get intimate with Mr.. Edison
and look. through his cathode ray
into Toms stomach and find out
what's there before I operated. ?"

Was there ever a women in the wide world
who did not yearn to be the mother of
bright faced, happy, healthy, laughing, roll
licking child? If there ever was such
woman, she was bad one, and while there
are many thoroughly bad men, there are
very few thoroughly bad women.
1t was Gods and Natures intention that
every woman should be the mother of
healthy children. Tens of thousands of
women defeat this benehcent design by
their ignorance and neglect. They suffer
from weakness and disease in a womanly
way, and take no measures, or the wrong
measures, to remedy it. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is sure, speedy and
permanent cure for all disorders of this
description. II acts directly and only on
the delicate and important organs that are
the Threshold of human life. II makes
them strong, healthy, vigorous and viriie
1t heals liberation, allays inflammation,
soothes pain and tones and builds up the
nerves. 1t banishes the trials of the period
of impending maternity and makes baby's
entry to the world easy and almost pain
less. 1t does away with the dangers OF
motherhood and. shortens the period OF
weakness and lassitude. 1t insures the
little newcomers health and bountiful
supply of nourishnent. 1t transforms
weak, sickly nervous invalids into happy,
healthy wives and mothers. Thousands OF
women have testified to its marvellous rner-
its. A dealer is not physician, and has no
right to suggest substitute for the prescrip-
ton of an eminent specialist like DIR. Pierce.

He GIVES A WARNING.

To the Editor of The Times:-I want
to say, Mr.. Editor, that your editorial OF
Sunday under the caption of Chow to
Get Together" breathes Il spirit of gen
uine Democracy such as have seen pre-
cious little of in Roanoke lately. Democ-
racy is for the whole people and not for
the benefit and uses of few. If it is
true, as you evidently think. and 1 con-
TESS it looks that way to me, that the
party organization in Roanoke is merely
combination of selfish men in search of
places for themselves and friends, they
should he driven ont and the temples OF
Democracy placed in charge of those who
love the old party for what it teaches and
not for the Offices it may have to dispense
have lately heard men of most excel
lent standing and fine intelligence both in
the city and county, say that while they
have never voted against the Democratic
nominee they will not under any circum-
stances vote for Mr.. Hicks for the legis-
lature. and that If an acceptable candidate
is in the field they will vote against Mr..
Hicks. Now, for all know, Mr. Hicks
is most worthy and deserving gentle
man. If, however, his nomination is to
mean defeat ut the polls when the nomi-
nation of some other gentleman, Il
thorough Democrat, would not only make
sions in the party and bring us all together
1t is undemocratic and suicidal to place
Mr. Hicks on the ticket. If he is patri.
otto man and loves his party he will not
aid in sinking it.
The gentlemen charged with the man
agement of the Democratic party in Roa-
coke and the delegates to the Salem con-
venticn should free themselves from the
idea that it is their duty to promote the
interests of any individual. They are for
the time being charged with the destinies
of II political party that is the father OF
American freedom .ond the defender of
American homes. No mans ambition
should be allowed to stand in it's way and
no set Of men should be allowed to en-
danger its supremacy. Democracy counts
the individual and his ambition as moth.
ing. is mission is to teach that on the
untrammeled will of the people rests the
hope O: the country.
If Mr.. Hicks is objectionable and can.
not command tie support of the Demo
cratic voters of the district the nominal
ton ut Salem should 90 to one who has
the confidence of the voters of the party
and who can unite the warning factions
and bring harmony out of chaos We
Democrats all work together in nationa,
issues. Why can we not get together On
State and local issues. / think we can if
few of us you'd fling away that burn
ing ambition for Office and credit our
neighbor with as much patriotism as our
selves. a DEMOCAT.

The report from London that Mrs.
Langtry, the great English beauty, is to
marry prince will be received with sat
isfaction by the people of this country, to
whom her frequent efforts for divorce
from her recent husband had become te-
dious and tilesome. The fortunate man
who is to wed the Lily is Prince Esterhazy
de Galantha, an Austrian. He is about
sixty years old and has been married
twice, both of his wives being dead. From
this it would appear that there is no way
for the Lily to get rid of him, should the
matrimonial bond become irk some, except
by the same process which broke the
chains that bound her to Mr.. Langtrv.

THE RAIN.

The long, dry spell was .agrecably bro
which through long in coming was none
the less welcome on that account. The
lack of rain and the hot weather have re-
tardeh the growth of vegetation very
much, but with good seasons for the
rest of the year the crops may yet be com.
paratively abundant. The oats have been
badly injured by drouth, but the wheat

of the corn is young enough to take in the
full benefit OF the coming showers One
