days do not have
--' y to use a stream Of water
for a looking glass. They have modern
mirrors that will tell them very promptly
whether their beauty is fading. A worl-
ans beauty fades very rapidly if she is
troubled with some arrangement of the
distinctly feminine organism. Ignorance
or carelessness in this respect frequently
causes great suffering and irregularity ia
after life. Little irregularities and weak
nesses in girlhood should be looked upon
promptly and properly treated at once.
Mothers cannot be too conscientious in
this respect, and cannot throw aside the
prudery that is so prevalent upon this point
too soon. Every young woman should
know something about her own physical
makeup, and the importance to her future
of her local as we'll as general health. a.
woman who suffers from weaknesses Pc
culiar to her sex will rapidly lose her
beauty, her general health, her amiability
and her usefulness and c~apability as a wife
and h~ousekeeper. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription promotes regularity of all fem
mime functions, gives sturdy health to the
distinctly feminine organism and prepares
it to meet the trials of wifehood and moth
erhood. The "Favorite Prescription" is
not a c~ure-all. 1t is intended for but one
class of disorders and is good for no other.
Taken during the period of CESSATION, it
makes parturieon easy, and banishes the
disconforts of the expectant months. All
good medicine dealers sell it.
II wish to express my thanks for the good I
have received from DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription," writes Mrs. l.. Scovill, of Bolton,
Stephenson Co, Ills. II have used it at differ

Look Pale II He Had to
Change the Book.

With smothcred curse the great novelist
threw away his cigarette and dashed water
on the blaze in his front bangs, that, falling
in graceful profusion over his face, had been
ignited. Quickly recovering his poise, he re-
sumed his dictation.

bangs and lighting fresh cigarette.
"Yes, but the scenes are all laid in Cuba,

"But Weyler, you know, wasn't ever in

"Wow. WOW! Make it about milkmaids,

the great novelist, tearing out great handfuls
of his hair. II am going to have that hero

HOW JAMIE PASSED.
He Plays Tricks on Ills school Prin-
cipal While That Parsonage
Is Calling ON His Sister.

Jamie has big sister-a blooming, bound
ing destroyer of hearts, and the principal Of
Jamie's school used to call on her. He came
one evening, just before the close of the last
term, and wore rubber overshoes. He al
ways was afraid of catching cold. He left
these shoe protectors in the hail. Jamie, by
no means sure of passing from seventh into
eighth grade, was coming his geography
from necessity, not choice, and he saw those
goloshes.
So he got the tack hammer and two tacks
and nailed through the rubber soles into the
floor. When Mr.. Principal departed an hour
later Jamie was watching him. Mr.. Princi.
pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted
his feet in his understand then he braided
himself up in the most amazing fall that
ever an educated man accomplished. The
big girl picked him up and extracted him
from his stationary footwear, but she was
shaking with laughter.
Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted past
the principals desk with look of angelic
innocence on his chubby face.
He paused moment.
who called you" asked the petulant
principal.
"The kids called me. They called me
'rubbers!' Say, Mr. Soandson, do pass?"
And the eyes of the two met for one tense
moment. Then the principal surrendered.
"Yes-you pass!" he snapped.
If he had said "no" he would have lodged
to the end of his days every time he heard q
boy cry "rubbers!"
And jamie was honest about it. He told
no one-not even when his big sister padded
him.-Chicago Chronicle,

has as much attention been paid to the in.
terror decoration of homes as at present.
No home, no matter how humble, is without
Its handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful. The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
IN the way of a picture, draping, a
piece of furniture or other form of mural
decoration. One Of the latest of these has
been given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome
porcelain game plaques. Not for years has
anything as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pleas
ant, American Quail and English Snipe.
They are handsome paintings and are es.
pecially designed for hanging on dining
room walls, though their richness and beau.
ty entitled them to place in the paror of
any home. These original plaques have been

process, in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the

HALF CENTURY HENCE.
Mysterious Box, Left by the Late Jesse p.
Prescott, to BE Opened In 1916.


Prescott. to BE Opened In 1916.
There is on exhibition at the
city hall in Memphis an oblong
box. 1t is of black walnut, highly
polished, with a number of mys-
terious screws fastening the lid firmly
down. The box is about two and q
half feet long, two feet wide and about
the same number of feet in depth,
weighing in all not over fifty pounds
The box has an air of mystery about it,
and will serve as the subject of an in
teresting story at some remote day in
the future.
Judge Hadden is its present custodion
and will be so long as he lives, and will
have fatherly eye upon it. At one
time it was the property of Jesse P.
Prescott, who departed this life March
Fl, 1896. He was one of the landmarks
Of Memphis. He knew everybody and
nearly everything about them. When
any event of historical Importance
transpired it was he who was called
upon to contribute interesting data
which might be associated with it in
other days. He was at one time presi-
dent of the Old Folks Society and had
many interesting historical records in
his possession.
Only short while prior to his death
he drove up, one day, to Joseph Specht,
Sr., and with a very mysterious air de-
posted the box above mentioned. 1t
was his wish, and he told his old friend,
that he desired the box sealed and kept
in safety, and not to be opened until
fifty years after his death. He refused
to divulge it's contents and briefly
stated that the walnut box simply
inclosed an iron chest, which was
locked and sealed and was alright.
The box, he said, must be locked for
fifty years after his death, and he
wanted Mr.. Specht to guard it.
A few months passed and old man
Prescott left his old home for another
and higher world and the chest re.
NAMED behind as reminder of the in
teresting character who had so care
fully prepared it.
A card was tackled upon the surface:
u. p. Prescott died March 81, 1895.
To be opened in so years, 1916"
Over two years have passed since the
box was labeled, and Mr.. Specht, feel
ing himself becoming old and worried
over the safety of his trust, telephoned
ce-Mayor Hadden to come to see him.
The result was that the box was trans
| ferred.
1t was taken to the city hall, where
it will very likely remain until the day
comes upon which it will be opened.
The vice-mayor will make mention
of the box on the city minutes, anc
place upon it an indestructable label
His object is to have the trust pas,
down from council to council until 1916
when the mayor at that time will oper
it in the presence of the city board.
The year of 1916 will be an interest.
ing one for another reason. In tina,
year the old Bickford lease on the city
hall property will expire and the lot
and buildings will return to the city
Thus the posterity of Memphis will
have two interesting things to look for
ward to.

The Passing of Joseph Letter.

The late connection of Joseph Letter
with the wheat pit was severed a few
days ago, when the late Napoleon of
the pitt gave up the Office in the Board
of Trade building which he occupied
during the campaign that resulted in
his financial rout and almost in the ruin
of his father. A placard on the panel
of the door announced that Letter
would be found hereafter at 81 Clark
street, his old Office. Young Letter
rented the office in the Board of Trade
building last spring, when he became a
member of the board.-Nex York

c. l.. Loop, traffic manager of the
Southern Express Company, with head
quarters at Chattanooga, Tenn, has
issued the following circular:
I'm reply to numerous inquiries as to the
disposition that will be made of express
shipments to soldiers addressed to the vari-
Gus camps (where troops have been located)
after the troops shall have been sent to the
feld-in Cuba Porto n:::o, ETC., tdks
pleasure in informing you that the South
ern Express Company has already made
arrangements with the War Department
for forwarding shipments. This company
will, when an opportune time shall come,
have representative at the front to make
this delivery. We should not consider it
desirable or practicable to undertake to
forward such packages until the troops
have something like permanent situation
tablished long enough to catch up with
them, and where we have good reason to
believe delivery can be made. 1t will be
understood that nothing of this kind can be
done while the troops are engaged in an
active campaign and moving from place to
place. but we assure correspondents that it
is our intention to keep our service up as
close to the front as possible at all times"
Cuban Flag Is Forty-Seven Years Old.
How many men know the history of
the flag of Cuba Libre? 1t is seen
everywhere, floating bravely with the
Stars and Stripes, entwined with them
in windows, or worn side by side on the
breasts of patriots. DR.. John Guiteras,
celebrated as a physician, a Cuban pa
triot and prominent member of the
Cuban junta, recently gave this ex-
PLANTATION of the ensign of his country:
''The flag was originated and designed
by Gen. Narcisso Lopez in 1854, when,
for second time, he invaded Cuba. 1t
was first raised at Cardcnas in that
year. The Ave stripes stand for the
five departments into which Cuba was
then divided. The colors of the Ameri-
can flag and the lone star was adopted
because the movement of Gen. Lopez
had for it's object annexation. Texas,
formerly the Lone Star State, had had
her ambition grati6ed. The design OF
the Cuban flag indicated the generals
wish that this lone star should also
soon be placed among the others on the
ensign of the United States"
