and oral reading of the Chicago Normal
school. She is the daughter of Mr..
Alexander Pate, wealthy merchant
and banker of Wellington, Ills, but is
independent enough to prefer to earn
her own living.
Miss Pate is just 81, and the post
master is exactly ten years her senior.
She was educated in the common schools
Of Wellington and at the age Of 18
went to Ferry Hall, at Lake Forest, to
complete her studies. She was graduat-
ed in 1896, after taking the full four
years course. Especial attention was
given to elocution, and in this Miss
Pate became very proficient She pos.
sesses rich contralto voice, pleasing
presence and not little natural talent.
During the Nashville exposition she
read and recited and was the recipient
of unusual praise.
She is rather tall, dark eyed and pref
ty, with beautiful black hair and an at
traotive manner. She has literary tastes
and indeed is we'll posted on this sub
ject, which adds to her strength as an
elocutionist. A marked quality of her
character is her determination and oour-
age. She has gained the admiration of
her fellow teachers in the normal school
by her ability and steadfastness to duty.
Miss Pate met Chicagos postmaster
something over year ago. She attended
reception at the Union League club,
and there Mr.. Gordon was presented to
his future bride. They will not confess
that Cupid was third party at that
meeting, but an attachment between
them certainly began then and there.
Though the engagement has but recently
been announced, the close friends of
both have understood the nature of the
attachment and knew that a wedding
would be it's climax. The date has not
yet been fixed, but the event will prob.
ably occur soon after the close of the
school term.

after the first box had been taken, she was
a different girl. She continued with this
medicine and when she had taken eight
boxes a complete cure had been effected.

and that she felt very grateful for the bene-
fit received through DR.. Williams Pink

Cora, until two years ago last March, was as
healthy and strong as any girl of her age.
She was attending school and was studying
hard. Perhaps she was too studious, for we
noticed that the healthy color in her cheek was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallow. Dark, swollen circles be-
gan to appear under her eyes, and she rapidly
became worse. We we're living in Franklin,
Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have
graduated that Spring. She stopped attend
ing school and endeavored to get q rest, but
her health kept failing. Her blood was color
less and impure. She would also have sick
headache, could scarcely eat or sleep, and
was almost continually in pain. Nothing
which we did for her seemed 10 do any good.
"Dinerent physicians treated and pre-
scribed for her, but she kept getting worse.
She had formerly weighed 100 pounds, but
during her illness her weight had dwindled
down to 70 pounds. We began TO think

ly divided, the ultra modern element,
which may be said to represent the new
south, pinnipg their faith to almost in
discriminate osoulation, so long as it be
confined TO ones equals, while the other
contingent, typical of the old school of
rigid ideas prevailing A2fore the war,
holds with equal tenacity that a man is
at liberty to kiss a girl who is not rel.
atiye only when their engagement is a
matter of fact.
Those who have read between the
lines Of Mrs. Kingsbury's letter and
whose social status is such as to entitle
them to respectful attention declare
that her picture Of existing conditions
is not oyerdrawn. But when asked for
an explanation of these conditions these
people are unable to give satisfactory
reasons beyond the fact that some of the
girls, imagining they will gain popu-
larity and beaus by such course, do not
believe in being chary with their lips.

New Orleans, Miss Wright began to
teach. She opened private school with
one pupil, who paid her 80 cents a
month. Now 600 pupils are under her
direction. but none of them pays for in
struotim. She has done much to de-
crease the large percentage of illiteracy
in her native state.
Miss Wright estimates that 30 per
cent of her pupils are from to l2 years
of age, another 30 per cent from IL to
II, and 40 per cent from II to 40. At
least one quarter are foreign born. All
nationalities are represented, Cubans
French, German, Polish, Scandinavian
and Italian being most numerous. The
school hours are from to o'clock in
the evening, although many boys who
work in stores do not arrive before Z
o'clock.
"You villa find in this school many
heroic lives" says Miss Wright, "for
in some cases the pupils are the only
support of families and make great sac.
rifioes Many of the boys come direct
from work without first having supper,
and many walk three or four miles to
attend the night school. In one case |
know of boy who had splendid advan.
tages offered to him if he would leave
home. He refused because he would
have to leave his mother without sup.
port if he accepted. This is only one of
the many cases in which my boys have
sacrificed their personal interests"
Miss Wright is president this year Of
the New Orleans Womens club, and
under the auspices of that club night
schools for women are to be organized.
They are to be conducted on the same
line and are meant for factory girls who
desire a good business training in order
that they may secure better positions.

HOW TO FIND OUT

Fill a bottle or common water glass
with urine and let 1t stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO
:. There is comfort in the knowledge
80 often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's

dy, f,ilfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine anu
scalding pain in passing 1T, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or

necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
