A Southern Society Man.

In Senator A. J. Beveridge'l
brilliant article, "With Our Fight
ers in the Philippines" in thi'
weeks issue Of The Saturday
Evening Post, are many gooc
stories. Here is one of them:
"The second time I was at the
extreme front in l,uzon I met 6
young man who is Of one the frs
families of the South. He il
wealthy, highly accomplished and
what is sknown as society man.
All that is charming or delightful!
in American lie is his. You
would not imagine that this low
spoken, rich-voiced, quiet-man.
nered, gentleman, with AL the
characteristics Of the ultra-fasb.
ionable American swell, could lie
induced to fight in the deadly cor
test of arms. Yet he had lef all
the allurements with which life
and fortune and his own talents
had surrounded him, and enlisted
as private soldier in Cuba. The Q
be bad risen, by cool gallantry, to
the position of a commissioned Of
6cer. He had won bis promotion
absolutely without influence and
solely by lia courage and soldier.
ly qualities.
"He had been in every fight up
to the capitulation of Santiago.
The fever had seized him and his
health had been impired. One
might have imagined that his de-
sire for army experience would
have been satiated; but instead of
satisfying the thirst for war, the
hardships and dangers of the Gu
ban campaign only put a keener
edge on it. So he travelled half
way around the world, and here I
found him in the interior of Lu-
zon, not member of the army,
but, nevertheless, wearing a khaki
uniform and seeking further op-
portunities to fight. Nor would
he wait until the regular engage
ments came on. I saw him up at
5 o'clock in the morning, mount
ing his horse with a small scout
ing party. going on one of those
desperate Reconnaissance which,
to the mere observer, look like ex-
peditions to certain death. On
one occasion he and two compan-
ions charged a group of 60 Fill
pino soldiers, and he himself cap
tured four of them. I saw him
the evening of the day on which
the exploit was performed. He
had already forgotten it and was
'nosing around for some further
adventure"

ssouth's Great Cavalry Leader.

"Whlle Grant was cutting and
selling cordwood, and Sherman
was teaching school, there was a
man in Memphis who vas having
no preparation whatever for war
and yet who was destined to make
no end of trouble for those able
soldiers writes John Gilmer
Speed in the Saturday Evening
Post. "This was General N. B.
Forrest, whose life by DR.. J. A,
Wyeth has recently been issued
Forrest was an uneducated man
and belonged to that prescribed
class in the South known as poor
whites Moreover, he was still
further handicapped in any efforts
to stard on equality with men o.
position by having been a slave
trader. But by native force and
by genius for cction this
unlettered man became the most
successful cavalry leader in the
South.
"He enlisted as private, but
before he really went Into action
had been made lieutenant colonel.
In this capacity he proved that he
could move men through the
country with a celerity most
remarkable. He knew nothing
whatever about the principles OF
war, and probably never read a
book on the subject i'll his life. 1t
is unlikely indeed, that be ever
read many books of any kind He
was essentially man of action,
aud for more than three and q
half years he kept the Federal
commanders guessing as to what
he was going to do next.
"Toward the close of the wal
Forests wonderful capacity was
appreciated in Richmond, and he
was made lieutenant general and
put in command of all the cavalry
west of the Mississippi. 1t was toe
late, however, for him to do much
Hoods army had been all bu:
destroyed before Nashville,
Sherman was marching, through
Georgia and General James 81.
Wilson was after Forrest With
the strongest cavalry command
ever placed in the saddle. He
defeated Forrest st Selna-the
first time, blythe way, Forrest had
ever been completely beaten-and
shortly afterward the war ended" "

woMENsI5y TROUBLE.
The Approach Of Motherhood 10 tn

The Approach Of Brotherhood 10 the
~ Occasion OF Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeas
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident. entails. The joyous
anticipstions with which she looks for-
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread Of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight q
! ge1sedY which insures to them i'm
munity from the pain, suffering and
! danger incidental to child-bearin&
Such a remedy Is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is a
edentific liniment-and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother. and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This Won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used 1t.
What woman is not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price:
less value proven by the experience OF
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination of motherhood.
It has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend" The

telling all about it. and when it should
be used, will prove Of great interest and
