A Big Watermelon for Bryan.

Douglas Glessner, the secretary of
the Georgia State Silver League, calls
for monster watermelon for Mr.. Bry-
an, for which reward of SO is offer
ed. 1t seems that the commercial
freight agent of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad has offer ed reward for the
largest melon grown in the South. to
be presented to Mr.. Mckinley. Mr..
Glessner declares that, as the defeated
candidate in the first battle" remains
the popular idol Of the people, there is
no reason why he should not have the
largest watermelon that Georgia can
send him. He therefore offers $40 for
the largest melon grown in Georgia to
be selected and sent to Hon. VIM. j.
Bryan at Lincoln, Neb. A great deal
of interest has been aroused by this
contest, and there can be no doubt but
that Mr.. Bryan will have monster
melon within few days. Mr.. Gless-
ner has also offered $5 for melon to
be sent to Hon. H. s. Chapman. the
democratic candidate for Governor OF
Ohio, in which State the fight is being
waged this year on the single issue OF
free silver.

Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable
and attractive thing about an attrac-
tive woman is her womanliness. Every
body admires womanly woman. She
must have health, OF course, because
without it she would lose the bright
ness of her eyes, the fullness of her
cheeks, and her vivacity. Real health
must mean that woman is really a
woman. That she is strong and per-
feet in sexual way, as well as in every
other. That she is capable of per-
forming perfectly the duties OF mater
nifty. Some are born with what is
called constitutional weakness. Those
who do not enjoy perfect health need
only take the proper precautions and
the proper remedy. to become perfect.
ly well and strong DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vcrite Prescription will cure any de-
rangement of the distinctly feminine
organism.

A friend tells us that one of our noted
physicians had large pet snake which
he kept in cage. The doctor says
that he put a mouse in the cage with
his snake, and one morning. soon after,
found the snake dead. On examina-
tion he found 16 holes in the snakes
body, showing that the snake had
swallowed the mouse 16 times and
each time the mouse had knawed his
way out; 16 wounds proved too much
| for one snake, and the doctor thinks
that the same ratio "16 to 1" eventual
