jest a wcman's story.

Just wcman's story.
Not strange because it happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, but just story of
misery and suffering such rs only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, of
Peru, Indiana, carried a burden of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf-
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot of woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she is well to-day is miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble requires no descrip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs Bowen says:
"For eighteen years | suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
81 was broken down piece Of human
ity; shadow OF woman.
My brain was tortured until could re-
member bot little. could not sleep or eat
and was reduced in weight to mere skele-
ton. What little did eat could not be di-
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.
"MY skin was muddy. my eyes were
heavy. Twas dizzy all the time and to-
tally unfit for even ordinary housework.
Doctors prescribed f3r me without avail.
Medicine was recommended and taken In
quantity bot it did no good.

Tobacco stems and stocks.

The stems and stocks Of tobacco,
which are waste products in manufac-
ture, are rich in potash. These stems
give about Is per cent. of ash, which
may contain as high as eight per cent.
Of potash. 1t is not, however, adVisa bic
to burn the tobacco waste in order to
obtain its fertMzing ingredients. In
combustion, the heterogeneous constitu-
enfs of the waste, which are also val
liable Fertilizers, are lost, although it is
true that both the potash and phosphor-
ic acid becomes more Immediately avail
able after incarceration. In order to
promote the absorption of the fertil-
izing ingredients of tobacco waste, it
should always be finely ground before
applying it to the soil or mixing il with
other fertilizing materials.--Western

ROTATION OF CROPS.
without IT the Fertility of Soil Cam
- not BE MaintRined.

One should always farm in such way
as to maintain tbs fertility Of the soil.
If the farmer raises and sells off the
farm grain and hay to such an extent
that there is not enough fertilizing ma
terial returned to the Soil to preserve its
fertility, he is on the road to ruin as far
as the fertility of the land is concerned.
The time viii come when either be or
those who come after him will find
themselves on poor, WORKOUT farm
that refuses to yield them a support.
and the farm will have to be abandoned.
The only road to successful farming lies
in keeping some kind of live stock TO
consume the greater part of what grows
out of the soil, and carefully saving and
applying the manure.
The man who thinks his soil mex
haustible is mistaken, and if be lives
on it long enough will find it out. The
farm is the farmers bank, and fertility
is the cash deposit which may be
checked out. No man ever had so much
money in a bank but that he, in time,
would get to the end of it if he contin-
ually checked out more than he put in.
1t is advisable in all localities to raise
different crops on the farm ana prac-
tice a regular system of rotation. rare
ly having the same crop on any given
field more than one year without some
other crop intervening. And in this ro-
tation clover ought to come in every
third or fourth year. A crop of clover

ness of the farm. Its long roots pene-
trate the subsoil, thus breaking it up and
improving the mechanical condition
and bringing up fertility from below,
where it has, to some extent, been car
ried when there was a surplus of water
descending through it. 1t is also one of
the very few plants that has the a bill
ity to extract nitrogen from the air and
deposit it in the soil.-Rural World.

First and Last Appearance of Saraf
in an Indiana NilInge

First and Last Appearance of sarah
in Indiana Village.
Did YOU ever hear about the first
last and only appearance OF Sarah
Bernhardt in Sullivan, Ind. - asked a
theatrical manager the other day. Sew
eral of his friends who were chatting
with the manager said they hadn't and
asked for the story, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
We'll, it happened a number of years
ago" began the story-teller. sarah
and her company were going from
indianapolis to some other city. Some
way or other they missed connection
and had 10 stay all night at Sullivan.
The manager cussed and swore, but
didn't succeed in devising any way to
get to the city where they were to play
that night. The manager swore that
the night shouldn't be lost entirely and
that they would play right there in Sui
Ivan. Sarah fumed and raved, but
there was no help for it; she was under
contract TO play every night
They borrowed all the furniture in
the town and fixed up the stage of the
little town hall as best they could Lit
tie dodgers were printed and scattered
over the country. 1t was announced on
those little bills that the divine Sarah
would appear in Sullivan for one night
only, making her first and last appear
ance. That night the hall was packed
TO the doors. People with their hair too
long and their trousers too short were
sitting on the backs of benches and
standing in the aisles by seven o'clock.
At eight O'Clock Sarah came and reached
the stage by back entrance. Stepping
to the curtain she pulled one corner
aside and peeped out at the crowd. AS
she caught sight of the audience she
dropped the corner of the curtain like
a hot potato, exclaiming: My look
at the Indians."'

LOVED HIS LITTLE MISTRESS.
The Dog Gave His Life to Protect Her
from Wolves


One day recently Ranchman Sam
Dodge, who lives near Caney, Kan, in
the Usage country, went to Ninita on
business, and shortly after he had gone
BESSIE. his five-year-old daughter, wan
cered away from home in an attempt
to follow him. Mrs. Dodge discovered
her absence about two hours after her
departure. She made thorough
search of the premises. and, failing to
find the child, notified the neighbors of
her disappearance. They turned out in
force, and secured the prairies all that
day and all that night, and all the next
day, searching for the little wanderer,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
At last an Indian came upon her lying
fast asleep just south of Post Oak creek,
in an old road known as the "Whisky
trail" Across her body stood a New
foundland dog, which had always been
her companion about the ranch. The
dog was torn and bleeding, and near
his feet lay the dead bodies of two
wolves. Although her cheeks were
stained with tears and covered with
dust Bessie was unframed. She and
her protector were taken back to her
home, distance of 12 miles from where
they were found, where the dog died
of his wounds that night. He was given
decent burial, and Sam Dodge has
ordered a marble monument. which
will be placed at the head of the faith

making more openings similar to The
ones made by the female when deposit
ing her eggs. There are probably two
broods each year. One brood deposits
its eggs in September and the insects

adults as early as the middle of March.

remedy that suggests itself is the cut

Of all infected trees during the winter.
[ would recommend this procedure only
in extreme cases or where the trees are
of no special value. An attempt of ex-
termination would mean the absolute
destruction of every tree showing the
least attack
Experimentation with various sprays
and washes for controlling this pest
has not been carried forward very
rapidly. Trees sprayed with a strong
solution of Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green combined, at about double the
strength which is generally used, have
given very promising results. The first
application should be made about April
/ and the second two weeks later. In
order to be most etTectual, the spraying
should be done before any of the char
acteristic marks of the insect are found
upon the trees, as it will be much easier
to prevent the attack than to destroy
the beetles after they have once entered
the tree.-Prof w. G. johnson, in Amer

on a division of the money obtained
Thursday evening, between our

Houston.
It was agreed that the larger
amount should go to company L
at Chickamauga, for the reason
that the majority of our boys are
there, and if reports are true, more
in need of money on account of
sickness.
The proceeds of the entertain
ment, Thursday night, clear OF all
expenses, amounted to $4O.45.
