Married Six Times.

Mrs. Augustus Thistlewood, of Prov
idence, r. l., has been married six
times. At her last wedding four of her
former husbands We're present and act
ed as ushers. The fifth sent his regrets
and a present, and an invitation to the
bride and groom to spend the honey
moon at his house. The average term
of servttude for three husbands was
ten months. All the divorces were
granted upon the application Of the
Lady without opposition. The dfssolu-
ton Of matrimonial ties has been due
to the tact and diplomacy of the lady,
who convinced her several spouses that
they were mismated.

CURE.

An agreeable combination of the
most efficient known remedial agents
for the cure Kidney, Blad-
der, Urinary and Uterine dis
eases.
A desire to make too frequent or
scanty urine. Bed wetting by child

ease, female weaknesses are cured
by this great medicine.
This is no new discovery but has
been used in private practice for
more than thirty (3o) years by one
of America S most successful physi-
clans.
In order to extend to a wider use
fulness a medicine that has produced
such benificent results in a limited
sphere, we find it necessary to ad.
vertise. Experience teaches that
merit alone is not sufficient to bring
to the people knowledge of the Won
derful curative powers of this extra
ordinary preparation.
The strongest proof OF our faith
in these goods is our statement: "if

In these days many writers and preach
belief and shout in stentorian tones, "This
Is the way" until the contradictions we'll
nigh overwhelm the unprecedented mind and
bewilderment Is the result. Let reason and
faith ever go hand In hand; and the reason
which says, we see in part only, carries
with 1t the faith to feel the magnitude
of the spiritual world. A prominent man
recently said that had he possessed in his
youth, such a book as Professor Drum
mond's, "The Ideal Life" that 1t would
have proven an incalculable blessing to
him. The many friends of Prof. Henry
Drummond will be thankful for his latest
work. ''The Ideal Life" for his influence on
his contemporaries is not to be measured
by the sale of his books. enormous as that
sale has been. The question he was ever
answering In his writing and speaking was
not how can a man save his soul, but how
can man save his life? This was the text
of his brochures on religion, which charm
ed the world from '"rhe Greatest Thing in
the World" to "Ths City without a
Church." With the publication of this
last book Drummond's career as public
teacher virtually ended. He who had
never known an illness, who ap-
parently had been exempted from care and
sorrow, was FRUSTRATED by a painful and
fatal malady He had msny critics who
came to know him bette during these

AN UP-T0-DATE
SOUTHERN PIRATE

In the year 1861 the sails of commerce
of the United States whitened every sea.
IT was the more exposed to attack by the
withdrawal of her ships of war from for
eign stations to cooperate in the invest
ment of the southern coast. The south i'm
proved the occasion by fitting out sea
cruisers, both at home and abroad. for
the special purpose of preying upon 1T.
OF these the Alabama was distinguished
by her activity and extraordinary success
and her commander. Raphael Semmes was
the great naval prize taker of his time
The Alabam in the two years she roved
the sets in pursuit Of American ships, cap
tured In all sixty-three vessels of every
size and description, the estimated value of
which amounted in the aggregate to con-
siderably upwards of four million dollars.
OF these prizes, fifty-three were destroyed,
nine released on ransom bonds and one
commissioned as a tender, under the name
of Tuscaloosa, and armed from one of the
prizes.
Semmes is a romantic figure in American
history. He was born in Maryland in 1909.
In 1926 President Adams appointed him
midshipman in the navy but he did not en-
ter the service until ten years later, the in
termediate years being spent in naval
study. At the outset of his career his
tastes for literature and law were almost
as strong as his inclination for the sea.
In 1887 he was promoted to be a lieutenant.
In the Maxican war he commanded one of
the naval batteries on shore at the Siege
of Vera Cruz. Later he was given COM
mand of the United States brig Soners on
the blockade of the Mexican coasts In
chasing a suspicious vessel the big Somers
VISA knocked down In a gale and most of
her crew were drowned. Semmes was res
cued After the declaration Of peace he
srved as inspector of light houses on the
gulf coast. In 1855 he was appoir.ed to
the rank of commander and afterwards
assigned to duty as secretary of the light
house board at Washington. where he re-
mained until the secession of Alabama.
