school for colored Nurses.

The Africans of South Caorlina have
established training school for colored
nurses. A charter was obtained from
the state, and the institution was OPEN
ed on October 4th. 1t is the only
school of the kind in that part of the
country, and it is naturally in the
nature of an experiment. The money
to build and equip hospital was easily
raised. Educated colored men and
women are the instructors, and a large
number of students have been enrolled.
A preliminary training school has
been running for few months, but
only on small scale, as there was no
place where the students could get the
advantage of practical knowledge
They simply studied the theoretical
part of the duties of the nurse. The
applicants for admission to the new
school are required to be in good health
and they must present certificates of
good moral standing. They must also
have certificates from some college or
high school, or second grade teachers
CERTIFICATES, or else pass an examination
to show that they have fair educa-
tion. The course of study is confined
to lectures. Students are required to
recite, and rigid examinations will be
held.

A GOOD THING
For Women to Remember.

\ That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with woman-a wo-
man whose experience in treating woman s
ills is greater than that of any living physi-
cian-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to a woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to man-besides, man does not
understand-simply because he is man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
that they should have immediate assist
ance, but natural modesty impels them
to shrink from exposing themselves to the
questions and probable examinations of
even their family physician. 1t is unnec-
essary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greater than any local
physician living.
The following invitation is freely offered !;
accept it in the same spirit:
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to freely COM
municate with Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only, thus
has been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of
America which has never been broken and
has induced more than 100000 sufferers to
write her for advice during the last four
months. Out of the vast volume of exper-
fence which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained the
very knowledge that will help your case.
She asks nothing in return except your
goodwill, and her advice has relieved
poor, is very foolish if she does not take ad-
vantage of this generous offer of assistance.

GONE GLIMMEKING.

One ripe summer, fresh and fair, has
gone glimmering. What with rain and
breeze and fair sun, the harvest has left us
grain enough to feed the world, and hard
times are broken by kindly Hand. But
autumn changes come, and we cannot be
too self-content not to guard against what
autumn brings. 1t is the changeful tenn
perature of midday warmth and night and
morning chill, from the dampness of dews
or vapors cast adrift on eastern winds.
With the breath of such comes back to
very many old time physical troubles of
pains and aches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
soreness and stiffness. This is crop not
spoken of in farmers almanac, but it
must be cared for, else it will lay waste and
grow misery. st. Jacobs Oil is reaper
and binder; it reaps the field of pain and
binds up and cures. There is no bodily
pain it won't relieve and to the whole
group of rheumatic pains, it is a certain
and specific cure. Let not the bounties
that have been reaped be marred by misery
and pain. st. Jacobs Oil is the helper to
enjoy the better times.

ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.

The man never lived who could take
out all the dishes his wife has in the

of them back in again.
An Atchison girl received sealslSin

Her prayers for cold weather are so
earnest that they may result in some
thing.
Every woman complains that her
husband pays so little attention to his
children it's a wonder that he knows
them when he M cts them on the
streets.
A girls christened Margaret can sue
ceed in getting all the members OF her
family but her brother to call her Mar
guerite, and he will insist upon calling
her Maggie.
Before a man has been at home an
hour, he has called for something not
in the house, and then complains as
loudly about it as if his wife conducted
a department store.
People at twenty state half-dozen
impositions that they would never
stand; at forty, they find themselves
patiently bearing twice the number,
and thankful they are not more.
2 We don't want to come back to visit
this world after we are dead. The kind
remarks on our tombstone would cause
us to drop dead a second time, which
would cause another lot of funeral ex-
penses.
The death of a young man on the eve
of his marriage is regarded as sadder

a Gold Leaf Temple.

Not in America, not even in the Klon-
dixie, but in the far-off East, at Ran
COON, the capital of Burmah, is situated
the famous golden pagoda of a Bud
dhist temple, the whole of the exterior
of which is one massof shimmering gold.
This generous coating of the metal is the
result of years and years of offerings TO
Buddha, for devotees from all parts
of the world come to Rangoon aud
bring packets of gold leaf, which they
place on the pagoda. During the last
century the, King of Burmah gave his
QiteraD weight in gold to the walls of
the pagoda, an offering worth $4,000
sterling.

Stop. Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs.
Pinkham you are confiding your private
ills to woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that of any living ply
sician, male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
it is revolving to relate your private
troubles to man; besides, man does
not understand, simply because he isa
man.
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness sareinvited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

1t was Ike Baxter, and he halted about
pistol shot away and called out:

Steve.

''If yo' ms will give in, nobody will

shot right betwixt yo'r doggone eyes,
and if yo' hain't back thar among yo'r

If yo' want us, cum and git us!''
Five minutes later fire was opened on
the fort from all around the circle, and
the enemy were shouting and cheering
as if victory had already been nearly
won. While most of their bullets few
clear over the piled up rocks, those
which were better aimed did no damage
whatever. Not shot was fired in re-
ply. Kenton's position caused him con-
siderable pain, and Steve removed the
prop from his back and laid him down
with the remark:
''They uns will keep Dustin away fur

hurry up the Yankees in case they ar

"That's what we must hope for, . an

are not taken by surprise.
The firing attracted the attention of a
party of seven or eight guerrillas who
were hunting for the fguit1ves on their
own account, and they came up and
joined forces with the larger body.
The entire force then numbered, as near
as could be estimated by the firing,
about 25 men. All they could hope to
gain by their blazing away as they did

First Sung in Public Over the Grave
of an Indian.
When the boundary line between
Tennessee and Georgia was establish
ed, it pasesd half a mile south of the
spring Observation-Disclosures, among
the foothills of the Unakas, and, as it
crossed one of the principal Indian
trails, 1t, became place Of much i'm
portance. There had already grown
UP a strong rivalry between the Ten
nessee tribes, headed by Chief Ross,
and the Georgia tribes, headed by Ma
jor Ridge, both half-breeds and men of
! extraordinary ability as leaders. The
establishment of new boundary line
fixed the limits of their respective ter
ritories, and, to try to harmonize so
far as possible the contending factions,
the Government established a trading
post there. John Howard Payne ap-
peared upon the scene and was accused
of melting the Indians to insubordina-
ton. He was placed under arrest as
an incendiary and carried to the coun-
ell house.
While Payne was held there, one of
the first bands arrived, and among the
Indians was the chief, Oo-chee. or Rat
ting Guard, broken-hearted man. He
was moody and distracted and refused
all invitations to the council house and
would partake Of no festive enjoy
ments whatever, but spent the most OF
his time at the graves of his wife and
child farther up the valley. One morn

tween the little mounds that covered
his squaw and papoose. In some way
he had secreted a bayonet, fell upon
the point Of it and died on the spot
where he had often expressed desire
to be laid for his last long sleep.
grave was dug on the spot where
he lay, and the chief was buried by
the soldiers, one of the Moravian mis-
sionaries officiating. After the services
were over John Howard Payne, who
had been silent witness of the pa.
thetic scene. began singing softly to
himself the song which has since been
echoed throughout every land on the
earth. Gen. Bishop, who had kept a
close scrutiny on his actions, heard the
song and called Payne to him.
