The Western College For Women, at
Oxford, O., has just closed its forty
third year. The class of 1T, to which
the president, DR.. Leila S Mckee, be-
longed, celebrated its twentieth ami
versary with a reunion. Eight of the
original IA graduates were present.
Four sent regrets, from California,
Kansas, Colorado and Michigan. One
letter of regret was accompanied with a
check for 800 for the alumne fund. At
the alumna banquet Professor Clara M.
Pendleton, A. M, of Oberlin, O., pre-
sented composite pen picture of this
class, IT. She said:
This composite woman has, in obedi-
ence to her motto, do what you can, -
taught rs years of school and enrolled
80, 900 pupils She has gone around the
world and taught the dark skinned Hin
doc. She has crossed the Pacific and
carried the gospel to the japanese. She
has brought from Europe, Asia, Egypt
and other lands treasures of travel and
information. She has spoken in about
400 churches to nearly 90, 900 people.
When occasion required, she has filled
her husbands pulpit. She has taken de-
grees in seven different colleges and
universities, has been college president,
held public Office and differed many
clubs and other societies, published two
books and has others ready for publica-
ton, besides contributing to many mag
azines and papers, and has ministered to
the sick and dying in hospital and home.
The home is where she shines. She has
25 children, four of whom are twins,
and she has bestowed on them $50
years of motherly care and teaching.

Tho Queen of Italy's Maids.

1t is wonder that Queen Margherita
of Italy is so well dressed or SO beauti-
fully coffee, for instead of being pro-
vided with first class ''dressers, as the
maids of queens and royal princesses are
styled, she only has three ordinary, un-
tidy and indifferent maids, who have
no notion of the service of femme de
chambre in the French, English or
American sense of the word. Until two
years ago she was waited upon by an
excellent and faithful woman who had
been in her service since her infancy,
but from the time of that worthy crea-
ture's death she has been most indiffer
emily served. Indeed it is related in
court circles that her maids take such
advantage of her amiability and her in
diligence that they actually insult her
almost to her face.
Thus the other day her majesty called
her head maid, who was in an adjoin-
ing room. The woman, who was doing
something CT OTHER, had the insolence
to exclaim III tones of annoyance, sac
cidente, - w hieh is equivalent to the
English phrase RoiEe ration take You p
Dut which, literally translated, is moth.
ing more nor less than the expression OF
a wish that mishap or accident may
oVertake the ItrsCn to whom it is ad-
dressed. Any oiher IL istress would have
dismissed the servant for such a piece
OF lmpertinence. but Queen Margherita
contented herself with remarkine
THANK you. This is the first time that
eny one has wished me an accident. -
And the woman still remains in the
royal employ.

addressed as Joe,
She rather scanty skirted maiden sweet.

For an outing in the atmosphere Of love.
Many, many times he tried, while thus sitting
at her side,
To repeat the pretty story he'd rehearsed,
But his tongue would not obey and his love
grew day by day
Till he Often thought his swollen heart
would burst.
Now in desperation he was determined he
would see
In her young affections just where he was
at.
II she needed not his prayer, in the wildness
of despair
He would go and take a header in the Plated
Then in accents soft and low his remarks be-
gan to fuw
From his pleading lips into her listening ear.
He attempted to imprison the fair hand he
craved in his'n,
And the maiden trembled as in mortal fear.

The Century has short article by

ven on the late Henry L. Pierce, enti-
tied "An American Citizen" in which
DR.. Munger pays very high tribute -
the personal and civic qualities Of Mr..
Pierce, of whom he says:

one man owns legislature whose ma

grading form of bribery ever devised

bought by any sort of price, but stood,
as if one with it, on the rock of simple
honesty. There are few men of the day

BILLION DOLLAR CoUNrRy
iakes 80 Per Capita 10 Pay Expenses
of the Government.


OF the Government
Wilmington Star
DuG when We turn to our own
country we find that the ex penses of
our Government have been incress-
ing enormously, too, increasing
steadily and amazingly for years,
without the excuse that European
Governments have to offer or any
excuse at all save the boast that it ia
"billion dollar country" Since the
close OF the war our expenses have
nearly doubled. When President
Buchanan in the last wear of his ad
nlnlstration spent $4,000 600, the
republican orators made the hust-
lbgs hot with denunciatiOns of the
extravngance that squandered 60
much money, and now nearly forty
years later We are spending nearly
seven times as much and the apollo
glsts for this sqnandering meet the
charges of fXtravagance with the
boast that this Is Il "billion dollar
country That is the theory they
have been acting upon Tor years.
F, But if it is a billion dollar country
that does not justify the tX.rava
gance that robs the masses Tor the
benefit OF the lew who reap the bene
tit of the extravaganza and plumber.
which have made millionaires by the
score and impoverished the millions.
We are spending now something
over S53O,000,OO0a year. Wespent
in 1867 little over 1898, OOO, 900.
Between 1887 and 1892 Expenditures
increased from something over
$3S7 900 900 to something over
1913 ,OOO, 600, the result of the wild
and extravagant pension legislation
OF 1890, which added over 100, OOO,-
OOO to the annual expenditures
With the amount we are paying
now-$53O, OS3 ,O3O-it means a PEI
capita of nearly So, or $40 to the
average family of five persons
That's what the head of each family
pays towards defraying the expenses
of the Government.
But that is not all, for in addition
to this he has to bear his portion o
State, county and municipal taxa
ton, which, taking the country as
whole, will run the amount of ex
penditures to more than ST 900,
100000. or something over $14 pc
capita or $40 per family of five per
soDs. When it is remembered tina
the large majority of the American
people are toilers. and that tn
wages of the toiler are not large, an,
Der, too, that in the end tn
bulk OF all taxes trickle through t.
the masses of the people, We can form
some idea of the burden they have t,
bear, and cease to wonder, if we hav
wondered, why they have found it (,
hard to get along.

"Hello!''
The door opened, and a redheaded
woman, with great snuff stick in her
mouth, appeared and answered:

never know what may save man who
seems to be as good as dead.
Many a man who seemed to be dying of
consumption, and whom the doctors pro-
nounced just as good as dead, has got well
and strong and hearty again by using Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
wonderful medicine has shown the doctors
that consumption isn't always fatal dis
ease. 1t can be cured if you get at the
germs of it in the blood and clear them out
frc1oughly. That is what this Discovery"
does. 1t makes new bfood,-healthy blood.
The germs of consumption can't exist in
healthy blood. They simply let go their
hold and are carried out of the system !;
then the new blood builds up new tissue,
new flesh, new power, new life. 1t carries
vitality to the lungs, the bronchial tubes and
every other part of the body.
It cures people after cod liver oil has
failed, because their digestive organs are
too weak to digest fat-foods The " Discov-
ery' makes the digestion strong.
For thin and pale and emaciated people
there is no builder in the world 70
compare with it. 1t doesn't make fabby
fat, but hard, healthy flesh. 1t builds nerve
power and force and endurance. 1t is never
safe to pronounce any one dying of con-
SUMPTION" or any other wasting disease,
until this marvellous Discovery" has been
given fair trial.

Large black hats continue to be in fash

Yellow shoes are much worn for travel

There is a great variety in shoes, white,

as well as black. Canvas shoes trimmed
with leather of the same color or black are
much worn, and boots of red, tan and

Russia calf is not in great demand as
formerly, but goat and soft kid, as well as
patent leather, are favored.

and The gold miners of the Southern
States-No-th and South Carolina,
Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee-claim a share of atten-

total output of these southern mines
in little less than one hundred years
has been SIS. 565, 4S3. Nearly hall
OF that came from North Carolina,
Georgia ranking second in produc

Since 1891, however, South Carolina

No
Patchwork.

One of the most encouraging features
of cure made by S. SIS. (Swift's Specifc)
is its permanency. OF all diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually adj
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Of course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully. only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, ETC.,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
Is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
Pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use of SIS.

ROANOKE, Va, August 12.-The
Virginia Democracy, in convention

vote of $50 to 600, to endorse the
plan looking to the nomination of
United States Senators by primaries.
This was about the last important
act of one of the largest and most
representative political conventions
in the history of the State, and
closed by far the most interesting
fight of the busy two days session.

Taffeta silks are much worn, so are
the japanese silks.
The newest thing in footwear is the
brown patent leather shoe.
Colored tulle veilings are wonderfully
pretty and becoming to young faces.
The craze for Victorian souvenirs ex-

Every sort of bodice is worn this sea-

Muslins, figured gauzes and silk gren-

Irish lace is very popular for yokes
and epaulet effects on foulard gowns,
and is used in edging and insertion as
well.
