medicine that I had given up all hope Of
ever getting better.
I was given box of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, by young lady in my
employ. The first box gave me much relief
and [ was able to rest at night for the first
time in many months.
II then bought more pills and think I
must have used dozen boxes in my own
case, but have given away to suffering women
double that amount. Without doubt these
pills are a good medicine for they cured me,
and have cured several people to my know
ledge.
~ think that if you should ask any of the
druggists of Detroit who are the best buyers
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
they would say the young women.
These pills certainly build up the ner-
vOus system and many young woman owes
her life to them.
GAS a business woman am pleased to
recommend them as they did more for me
than any physician and can give DIR. Will
Hams Pink Pills for Pale People credit for
my general good health to-day"
No discovery of modern times has proved
such boon to women as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort of the physician proves
unavailing.
For the growing girl they are of the utmost
benefit for the mother indispensable, for
every woman invaluable.
At druggists or direct from DIR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, 80 cents
per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

an exceedingly well-preserved and ex-

Emperor TheOdosius, who died A. D.,
395, when the camp evidently was de-
stroyed by fire. as is proved by the
presence of numerous pieces of char,

One of the most popular of the young
professors in the male high school tells
an amusing story of small, up-to-date
school girl. She went to one of the
district schools, over which cousin oi
the professor presides. 1t is usual to
have visitors call at the building now
and then, who ask the scholars ques.
tions. One day party of callers came
in and requested the pupils to write
the answers to several questions pro.
pounded them. One of these ques.
tions was: "Tell what you know about
Admiral Dewey's great fight"
The children set to work figuring on
their answers, but the teacher noticed
one of the girls did not make a move
to do so.
"Why don't you write your answer
to the question ?" she demanded of the
idle pupil.
"'Tain't no use," was the slow re-
spouse. "I don't know nothing about
it."
"But," demonstrated the teacher
"you must try anyhow you must not
sit there idle while the others are doing
the best they can. See if you cannot
think of something, my dear"
"No use," protested the pupil. CAL

The Republican Party Is Conspirine
Against 1t.
The great question of domestic pol
icy of the next congress has, for good
reason, thus far been kept out of the
newspapers, says a Washington dis
patch to the New York Sun.
The secret need no longer be guard
ed, however, that it is the intention OF
the Republican leaders to scale down
the representation of the southern
states, in congress and in the electoral
college, to correspond to the percent.
age of the male citizens of those states
who are disfranchised. This is in ac-
cordance with a provision of the four
teenth amendment of the constitution,
which has hitherto been allowed tore
main a dead letter. The time is be-
lieved to be absolutely ripe for taking
the matter up; it is through new
Federal census that such q correct ap-
portionment can be made; and now
that the twelfth decennial enumeration
is about to be taken the Republicans
find themselves in control of house,
senate and presidency.
Republican leaders have been keep
ing very quiet as to their purpose in
this regard. They did not dare to say
anything about it before the last No
vember elections, because, had those
elections turned out unfavorably, the
Republicans would have had the odium
which in certain quarters will unavoid-
ably attach to this endeavor, without
any of the compensating advantages.
Now they are in position to weigh
the losses and gains and act accord
ingly.
Nothing could be of more history
making Importance than such action;
1t would revolutionize the relation OF
the two parties in congress and in the
electoral college. 1t would break up
the menance of the solid south, and
compel that section to weigh issues
upon their merits, and so divide
strength between the two great par
ties. And what is more important
still, it would be an acknowledgment
before the world that the Republican
party acquiesced in the general dis
franchisement of the Negro, and was
preparing to carry out equitably to all
concerned, the results of that disfran-
chisement. In other words it would
be settling up the estate of the Negro
as a deceased political factor.
The 18th amendment to the constl-
tuition, which went into force July 2S,
