The two most critical times In a
woman's life are the times which make
the girl woman. and the woman a
mother. At these times, DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is of incalculable
value. 1t strengthens and invigorates
the organs distinctly feminine, prom
otes regularity Of the functions, allsys
irritation and infiammations, checks
unnatural, exhaustiDg drains, and puts
the whole delicate organism into per.
feet condition. Almost all the ills of
womankind are traceable to some form
ofwhat is known as female complaint"
There are not three cases In hundred
of woman's peculiar diseases that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will not
cure.

SPANISH CONSPIRACY.
Patriotism as Dead as a Mackerel in
That Town

Patriotism rs Dead as Mackerel in
That Town.
We do not like to appear before our
readers in the roll Of Apollo, but an
explanation is in order, says the Har-
deman (Ky) Free Pre-, !. We an
bounced in these columns that we had
enlisted for the war and would leave
Tor Dry Tomatoes last Tuesday, but
circumstances over which we have no
control have detained us. We went
down to the depot on Tuesday, ready
to go. We had our gun that we shot a
delinquent subscriber with, the boss
pistol we used last year, when we fit
duel with the snub-nosed wart who
edits the Shillalah, a sword, a toma-
hawk, bowie knife and a knapsack
full OF underclothes and booze. A big
crowd got around us and we yelled out
to them, Remember the Maine!" We
was very much astonished when sew
eral persons in the crowd who, we sus-
picion. were in the pay Of Spain, step
ped up to us and said: Remember
this bill before you CO." 1t looked as
II somebody had called convention Of
our creditors and every delegate was
there. One of them had a wash bill.
Every barkeeper in town was there,
with an itemized account. A store
keeper came up and told us to pull off
them boots" which We hadn't paid for.
Our landlord was on deck with a bill.
We made 'em all a speech, asked 'em
II they was patriots. and told 'em that
our country lied. Co back" they
said. "and pay what you owe. II you
don't, we'll have you arrested for try
ing to skip the town and beat your
creditors" OF course. we seed through
1t all. 1t was Spanish conspiracy to
keep us to home; but what could we
do? Well. we're here to stay now, and
there's going to be war at home. We
will take the pauper's oath to all them
har bills. and we are going to have all
the saloons indicted for violating the
four-mile law; and, herea. er, when we
want liquor, we're going to Memphis
and place ourselves in the hands Of our
friends. Pat ntism Is as dead as a
mackerel in his here town; but flea
in the ear Is worth two in the bush.
