farmer, who lives six miles south

bushels of sweet potatoes, 1000

Woman is often referred to by
man as "dOubllng his joys and
halving bis SORROWS" That may
lie complimentary, but it would
seem to be rather hard on the
woman; for in plain terms it
means that where things are go
ing well with the man his wife
makes them go better, but when
things are going i'll with him he
expects his wife to share half bis
burden. And there's more truth
than poetry in this presentation
of masculine sejfshness. Men
don't appreciate the fact that the
strain of motherhood alone is a
burden bigger than all the loads
that rest upon male shoulders.
They see the wife grow thin, pale,
nervous and worn without a
thought that she is over-bur-
bened. Among the pleasant let
ters received by DR.. Pierce are
those from husbands who have
walked up before it was too late
to the crushing burdens laid upon
the wife, and in the search for
help have found in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription a restora-
tive which has given back to the
mother the health of the maiden
and the maiden's happiness.
"Favorlte Prescription" always
helps, and almost always cures.
1t has perfectly cured ninety-eight
out of every hundred women who
have used 1t when afflicted with
diseases peculiar to women.

New York. Aug. "a special to the
Times from Washington says: Charles
+. W. Neely. director of finance for
the post offices of Cuba had a long con-
ference with acting Postmaster Cen
eral Heath. He said to a reporter hat
the Cnbans we're much pleased with
;he new post office system. which was
improving daily. He thought it WAS a
mistake to have military men govern
she Cuban people. He had high ad-
niration for Gen. Brooke and Gen.
Ludlow, but thought, as military men,
they were not well fitted to handle
municipal affairs. Nevertheless, the
city of Havana showed a great i'm
provement in sanitary conditions. and
ns result there were only two deaths
from yellow fever in .IuIy as against
300 for the same month in 1898.
AS to annexation he added the Span
iards are in favor of it, although tho
richer Cubans did not seem to be. lie
cordially commended Gen. Ludlow's
suppression of the newspaper FL Re
