PLEA FOR PEACE.
Romance of One Woman Who BeGA
That Wars Between Nations Z.
Nay Cease.

One of the most noted European
women in attendance at the interna.
tional council of women in London
was Baroness Won Suttner, the great
leader of the peace party in Austria.
She is as we'll known on the continent
as our own Susan B. Anthony is here.
but while Miss Anthony's hobby is
Suffrage" the baroness hobby is
peace"
Back of her hobby there lies a strong
motive power. When she was a gay
young girl, moving in court circles at
Vienna, she became afianced to Prince
Wittgenstein, match which was both
brilliant and desirable, for the prince
was q nobleman by nature as well as
by birth. Shortly after their engage
ment was announced the prince was
killed in battle, and for months the
young countess grieved for him, finally
conquering her sorrow, after being
transformed into grave, thoughtful
woman, with great desire in her heart
to study the causes which create war
and do what she could to prevent them.
About 1883 she published work en-
titled die Waffen Nieder" Oay Down
Your Arms), which made her fame as
thinker and has been translated ITO
almost every language. 1t promulgated
her views Of the horrors Of war in
mastery, graphic way, and with
charm of expression that made its read
ers feel as she did.
The Austrian minister OF finance said
when the book first appeared, and
when the budget for the army was be-
ing discussed: Gentlemen, advise
YOU to study the romance, Die Waffen
Nieder,' for few hours. I pity the
man who, after that, has any desire for
war"
In 1876, at the age of SO, her second
love romance came to her. She met
and married Baron 'Gundaear Won
Suttner, and her life with him has
been as perfectly happy as an earthly
union can be, and in spite of many
trials Baron and Baroness Suttner may
be said to be, and have been, most
happy couple, which proves that the
baroness can practice peace as well as
preach it.
Baroness Suttner is gifted with Won
derful tact and a great charm of man
ner, and she has the pleasant gift Of
beautiful voice in speaking. She visit
ed the peace congress at The Hague
and many people who met her and
heard her talk were convinced by her
arguments that movement which they
had ridiculed was a beautiful POSSIBLE

sweet sympathy.

A pretty story is told at Vienna about
Archduchess Valerie, youngest daugh-
ter of the emperor. 1t seems that when;
travelling the other day from Linz to-
Vienna she noticed on the platform at
Linz 14-year-old schoolboy crying Bit
terly. She had the conductor bring the;
lad to her compartment and, finding.
that he was proceeding to Vienna to,
attend his fathers funeral, she insisted
on his travelling with her, paying the
difference in his fare, as he had only a.
third-class ticket. During the trip she.
devoted herself to the task of comfort
ing him, telling the boy, among other
things, that she, too, had suffered much
from the loss of fondly loved parent,
who had died suddenly in a foreign:
land. 1t was only when the boy reached
Vienna and was leaving the train that
he discovered that the kind lady was'

ANNUAL CELEBRATION.
Rev. Willis L. Wayts and Prof. H. s.
Houskeeper Speakers of the Day.

The Annual Celebration of the Jr. o. U.
A. NJ, which was announced in our last
issue, was held on Monday, the 18th inst.
The services were held in the chapel of the
High School, and was enjoyed by those
present
The members of the Council were great
ly disappointed and put to considerable
trouble by the short notice of the speakers
who were engaged for the occasion, that it
was impossible for them to be present.
The Bible was presented by Rev. Willis
L. Wayts, pastor of the Baptist church,
who presented the objects of the Order
with great force to those present who were
not acquainted with the Order.
Prof. Ii. S. Houskeeper, president of
Tazewell College, made an address that
was very eloquent and highly appreciated
by those who were SO fortunate as to be
present.
The band played some excellent music,
which added considerably to the pro-
gramme.
After the address the Council, followed
by the audience, marched to Main street,
Just in front of the public school building,
and as the flag was being raised the band
played Rally round the Flag" and "Dix-
ie." When the flag reached the top of
the staff the crowd below gavemany
cheers and hats were seen floating in the
air.
In behalf of the Council the writer
thanks the speakers for their kind and
excellent aid in the success of our ce!e-
bration the business men of the town,
who so readily closed their business in
honor of the day; and the members of the
band for the assistance they gave.

Pears.

Next to apples pears are our most
abundant fruit. They are among the
most delicious of orchard products, but
are exceedingly perishable and have but
q brief season. They are best when
eaten fresh, although canned pears are
q favorite fruit with many. Children
and delicate persons should be very
moderate in their indulgence in this
fruit, as it is liable to generate gas in
the stomach and cause collie. 1t seems
to have this tendency more than any of
our popular fruits, and persons with
predisposition to troubles of this ma
ture cannot be too careful. Pared, cut
in quarters and with cores removed,
pears are sometimes stewed with lit
tie sugar or molasses and make very
nice dish. Some varieties of pears are
filled with granules, that detract very
much from their delicacy. - Ledger

THE HEALTH HABIT

Just ~ Easy to Form as Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits, but they are unconsciously ac-
CURED and grow as we grow, and by
the time we learn they are hurting us
We find them too strong to be easily
broken.
Then why not form a good habit, q
habit which will counterfeit the many
bad ones-in other words, contract the
questionable habit of always being
we'll?
The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach; If
you have a healthy digestion you can
drink your beloved coffee, smoke your
favorite brand of tobacco with little or
no harm; the mischief begins when
these things are forced upon the faith
ful stomach without any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such diges-
tives and when they are combined in
such a pleasant preparation as Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets they give the over
worked stomach just the necessary as
sistance to secure perfect digestion
without any of the harmful effects of
cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Sturat's Dyspep-
STA Tablets after meals is as necessary
to the weak stomach as food itself, and
indeed, to get the benefit from food
eaten nothing better and certainly
nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tab
let's es essential in the house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural di-
gestive principles without the effect or
characteristics of drugs; they have no
cathartic action. but simply 20 to work
on the food eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits
and the expense they entail and then
invest so cents in a box Of Stuartis Dys-
pepsia Tablets and see il your digestion
for the next month is not vastly inn
proved.
Ask tie clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and pop
ular stomach remedy and he will say
"Stuart's."
