Re NE. DY
And He Never Took Hold Again."

Some ten or twelve years ago lady In
this State was suffering from severe
hemorrhage of the womb. Fer years She
had been subject to almost continuous
flow, and at last she got into so low a
condition that she was confined to the
bed. All efforts of the doctors failed TO
check it, and finally two of the leading
physicians of her locality pronounced the
case cancerous. Her pros;ration was
great and nothing seemed to reach her
case. One of her neighbors insisted on
her trying my Remedy and Wash. This
she would not do until she had consulted
her doctor. His reply was When Mrs.
Person takes hold we turn loose; when
she turns loose, we take hold" However,
she concluded to try it. Without letting
anyone into the secret, she used my

soon set in, and by it's continued use she

THE UNIVERSITY OF TO-DAY.

See how all that l have stated is eX-
emplified in the University of today. OF
the last class graduated from the Uni
versity about forty per cent are teachers.
There are ninetysiX of the present four
hundred and eighty students of the Uni
versity who have already taught-seven-
ty-four of them having taught In the
public schools. Many have earned, before
coming here the funds necessary for their
support; many others support themselves
by all forms of honorable labor while
here In one way or another goodly per-
centage of our students, certainly more
han one fourth of them, are working their
own way UP in the world, making a brave
fight against adverse circumstances. Such
men appreciate the opportunities offered
them here, and are apt to make good
use of them They are a credit to the
University, and in helping them to mt
themselves for their life work great SER
vice is done the State. The needs OF this
people and the beneficent work done by
the University were deeply impressed
upon me by the letters which came to me
this summer from all sections of the
State, and many of them touching APP
calls for help. They were inspired by
breathed a deep determination to rise to
fuller manhood. They told of desperate
struggles against poverty and ignorance
and all manner of encouragement, OF
those tragedies of the home-life, the
grinding economy of a father and mother
and their loving selfsacrifice that their
| children might have the advantage which
| they themselves had never enjoyed; the
| despairing Efforts of widowed mother
! that her son might reach her ideal OF his
dead father: the mortgage on the little
| farm; the disappointment OF failing crops
of sickness and of the death of the bread
winner. And all turn to the University
for help, that they may be fitted to play
a man't part in life, and lift the shadow
from the lives Of their loved ones.
| This is the function of the University
! in a great State-a shining light in the
darkness, clearly and patiently directing
the course of those who would trave
along the pathway to knowledge and the
higher life; a center of gracious and help
full influence, streaming out into the whole
land: a strong foundation, unmoved by
frenzied passion, by the shifting sands
of political change, by the bigotry of ig
norance or the selfish bias of wealth;
treasure which cannot be bought or solt
away from the people, by whom and fo
whom it was created; loving mother o
many noble sons, whom it is her pride
to help and nourish and lead upwards Il

A writer in the Revue S~ocialiste as
serts that the chief bar to woman's
advancement is her lack of will. The
statement is made that a woman
spends all of her life yielding to the
wishes of some man. When a child
she is forced to make sacrifices for the
benefit of her brothers, and she learns
to, wait on them and concede every
point to the masculine usurper. She
it is who nurses the sick man and
humors his uncertain moods. This is
good training for wifehood, and as
wife she learns that she has married
her husbands family and must defer
to all of the relatives she has acquired.
Her husband expects obedience, and
she must wear a smiling face when
she is in pain, and must always suit
herself to his humors.

The South African war is now in it's

about the outcome. If the Beers were
still to meet with occasional successes,
like the capture of Bethune's troopers.
their ultimate surrender would be
none the less. inevitable. Continued
aghting does not serve their great and
noble cause, which is lost already, but
simply prolongs a period of unneces-
sary, unavailing bloodshed. Many Of
their foreign sympathizers who feel
for them in the bitter defeat of their
hopes must deprecate this costly.
fruitless struggle, and there have been
rumors that the Beers themselves
have begun to question its wisdom.
No n will, however, question its
business. There are those among
them who would sue for peace, even
though Kruger has declared with char
acteristic obstinacy that his people
will resist until they are destroyed.
