RE. vi EDY
What Are Stronger Than Facts?

Aulander, N. c., Oct. 1S, 1900.
To Mrs. Joe Person:
My little boy was sorely troubled with
impurities of the blood, and the result
was bois and sores on his body to such
an extent that he could not rest while
lying on his back or side, but for three
weeks he had to lie with his face down,
and turn his head from side to side to
rest it. After consulting a prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy,
which l did After using it short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little boy
was afflicted with these sores and boils,
his bowels were in a very bad condition.
and this medicine effected a complete
cure of them.
l recommend said medicine as Great
Remedy, and would not be without 1t In
my home.

SERVES THEM RIGHT.

Democrats ought to put an end to
intimidation and coercion by boycott
ing every concern that tries to control
the votes of its employees. These men
care nothing for anything but dollars.
If they lose trade by their BULLDOG
ing methods they will soon become as
docile as lambs.
In Chicago the Democrats put up a
tent on an unused park for a Bryan
meeting. Mr.. Montgomery Ward a
millionaire, secured an injunction
against the erection of the tent, there
by forcing Mr.. Bryan to speak in the
open air. Recently the G. A. II. en-
campment was held on the same
ground without objection. Wards
injunction was inspired by his oPposi-
ton to Bryan. He conducts the lar
gest mail order business in the United
States. Chairman Jones has written
a letter to the twenty thousand clubs
in the United States, urging the Dem
ocrats to resent the proscriptive spirit
evinced by that firm by having no
dealings whatever with them. The
people alone" says Chairman Jones,
''can correct this growing evil, this
spirit of coercion and intimidation.

Family Life A Bore

"Family life bores the modern
American girl, writes AN American
Mother. in the April Ladies Home
Journal. "She boasts that she has
clinhed to higher levels. She has
done with needles. pots and pans, and
Cradles. The world Is her field Of
action; 1t is waiting for her; It's
crops are white unto the harvest If
she has money she usually begins to
reap by going to Europe. She is
there TO day 10y the thousands and
tens of thOusans. If the modern girl
marries, her life is but little altered.
She drifts here aud there like rags
of seaweedS on the heaving waves
She does not want a home unless she
has money enOngh to have two or
three, in which, with core of ser
wants and English housekeeper IN
command, she can have house parties
the year round. Ii she have money
she lives in huge hotel; if poor in a
cheap boarding house Her children
are brought up on the stairs There
is not mnch of the catchet of the al
tar about that home for them. Pres
emily she. too, goes abroad. She tells
her friends that she is on the verge
of nerve prostration, which is usual,
true, and that Europe is the only
chance of cure, which is not true
