Now and again you see two women
passing down the street who look like
sisters. You are astonished to learn that

they are mother and daughter, and you
realize that woman at forty or forty
five ought to be at her finest and fairest.
Why isn't it so1
The general health of woman is so in
timately associated with the local health
of the essentially feminine organs that
there can be no rich cheek and round
form where there are facilitating drains,
and female weakness. Women who have
suffered from these troubles have found
prompt relief and cure in the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t gives
vigor and vitality to the organs of wom-
anhood. 1t clears the complexion, bright
ems the eyes and reddens the cheeks.
No alcohol, opium or other narcotic is
contained in "Favorite Prescription"
Any sick woman may consult Doctor
Pierce by letter, free. Every letter is
held as sacredly confidential, and an
swered in plain envelope. Address DR..
R. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

Prescription" writes Mrs. Martha F. Barhani,

The death of Coils Z. Huntington al
lows the New York Sun to say that it
was he who offered, year ago, the
500 prizes in what was widely known
as 1.-The Man Without the Hoe" COM
petition. Mr.. Huntington, himself a
son of the soil, could not agree with
the shallow philosophy Of Markham S
production, and wished to see the true
dignity of manual labor asserted with
poetical strength and grace. He be-
lieved that no calling was more honor
able than that of the man with the
hoe. That Mr.. Huntington's prizes did
not elicit any poetical production ade-
quate TO his own idea was to be eX-
pected. The incident, however, is not
the less honorable to his memory.

Since the new tariff with Porto Rico
that island has swollen to unexampled
proportions. In May and June, 1899,
before the destructive hurricane struck
Porto Rico, the imports into this coun-
try from the island were valued at
sl.461 1898, but in May and June, 1900,
under the operation of the new tariff
which cut off, in Porto Rico's favor. s.
per cent. of the Dingley duties. our i'm
ports from Porto Rico rose to s2.322,
pa This proves conclusively that the
islanders had goods to sell, and that
they are selling them at profitable
prices. They also have money with
which to buy goods, as the Treasury
record shows. In May and June, 1899
the Porto Ricans bought from us goods
to the value of $685., 9S7. But in May
and June. 1900, under the new tariff
they bought more than twice as man,
American products, to a total value O;
$l,5s1,41S, an increase of about sixt,
per cent There is probably no othe,
country on the face of the globe which
can boast of such a trade expansio.

1t sounds rather thrilling to say that
man drinks blood. but there are a
number of people who frequently visit
the East Deering slaughter house and
indulge In blood drinking says the
Portland Express. For nervousness II
is said that there is nothing like cup
of warm beef blood. 1t is not every
body that can drink it but those that
can claim that as an invigorator and
stimulator 1t has no equal. One man
takes small can of the blood to his
home and doctors it up so that 1T seems
less abhorrent to him. He f1avors II
with cayenne and spices and almost
persuades himself into the belief that
he is drinking beef tea. Another visitor
at the stock yards claims that beef blood
has done wonders for him. He says
when he began drinking 1t he was
nervous and sickly while his cheeks
were hollow and absolutely devoid OF
the tinge of red that indicates pure
blood and a good circulation. Now he
has rosy cheeks, sleeps well at night
and claims to have gained many
pounds in weight. There is little ques-
ton that a cup of warm beef blood
acts as an excellent tonic and stimulant
but it is to be doubted whether 1t Is
worth more as a food than the Or
binary beef extract which is so much
more palatable.

string forced him to check and pull
sharply to one side The oath would have
astonished those who, knowing him on
the surface, fancied they knew him all
through. They said that Rix Bascom,
book maker had the austerity of a
priest and the conscience of pirate.
A slim, lank lad, sitting at Bascom s
elbow gave a little distressed cry 'You
know it's the worst sort of luck-to
swear before breakfast" he said, half
hesitatingly, with a little catch under
the words. Bascom swore again, this
time outright. ut don't seem that
anything could make my luck worse he
added. II wonder if you know just what

actly $15,0O0-and all because of The

lad began. Bascom laughed shortly. ''You

savagely. 'Yet I can't hate him, d--n
him! It's in me to love a horse, and
he's easily the horse OF generation
The Frightening east touched all the
gray and green of the course with suf-
fused rosy radiance. Sparrows, were
twittering madly all about flying in
huddled focks around the stable doors,
setting their heads aside, and quarrel
ing greedily over their fotsam of chance
oats. In the trees about the trainers
houses few venturesome robins let fall
now and then dropping note. The un-
touched turf was all a simmer of beaded
dew Every footmark showed on it
print of vivid green. They were reason
ably plenty, and for the most part ran
in straight lines toward that high upper
corner, where the straightaway came in.
The barrier, of course, was across it. Only
when straight dash impended was any
training permitted over its elastic, loamy
breadth.
Bascom sprang down a hundred yards
from the corner, flung the reins to his
companion, saying: "Put them up,
'Driese, then come to me-but be sure
you don't get run over" He shot across
the track, lodging in and out of a NOV
ing maze, squeezed himself almost fat
against the rail, and ran until he came
to the place he sought. Already it had
20 occupants-men, horsey men of all
sorts and conditions, from the tout to
the millionaire. Though the free mason
ry of sport for the time leveled artificial
distinctions, they were almost silent
too intent in gazing to waste time in
speech.

Through the dimness of August dawn
ing the course at Loris park showed like
an earthen river, dun and wide, washing
sinuously about a velvet turfed island
or infield. Where the straightway cut
through the island the turf was some
thing worn. That was the highest point
of all the course, and there folk congre-
gated to watch the racers at work. 1t
was a sight so we'll worth seeing a good
few came to look, from the city ten
miles away, as we'll as from the country
houses all round about.
The whole course indeed was a show
place. It's setting up had been the pas
time of a man who had a great many
millions, along with the inclination to
spend them royalty. Next to his wife
and his honor he loved a good horse, SO
you will understand that he had rejoiced
exceedingly to part with one of the mill
lions in making ready for battles royal
between the kings and queens OF the
turf. The clubhouse was the sum and
pattern of simple yet elegant luxury, the
stand miracle of comfort; more than
ALL the free field a boon to the plain
people, who upon high days and holidays
packed it's board seats, happily unenvious
of folk upon the coach tops, in the boxes
or scattered about the flower-spangled
clubhouse lawn.
There was stable room, free, for a
thousand racers, along with training
quarters as literally planned. The
course indeed was a village in itself,
bigger and more populous than the
struggling trolley haunted hamlet just
outside its gate. The gate opened every
summer morning at three O'Clock, so that
such trainers as cared to give their
strings slow road work for hardening
might send them out and over miles Of
the broad. hard beaten clay highways.
A string, hooded and blanketed. had
just slidden out, looking like four footed
ghosts in the gray crepuscular dawn
darkness, when a smart trap ratified along
the village street and swung in with a
flourish between the big stone portals.
1t was TOO dark to see the horses, but
they exhaled a sweaty smell, which told
that they had been driven hard. The
driver pulled with long vicious inhalations
at very fine cigar. He swore between
his teeth as second out-coming hooded

THE BELLE OF CAROLINA.

]. D. Boone, in Waynesville Courier.
She's the Belle of Carolina,
Is my laughing sweetheart Dina,
And care not if she's numbered 'mong
tN,n 2cor.
She will make my pathway sunny,
And she'll do that without money,
AS she sweeps the dirt from out my
cabin door
Chorus,
Yes she lives in Carolina;
She's the daughter of miner.
She's a regular Regina
And she's NINE
Now l ask you to behold her,
AS my strong arms do enfold her,
While she makes believe she's struggling
to be free.
Was a picture ever brighter?
Was a fond heart ever lighter?
Don't you think the whole male world
will envy me?
she is wild and she is pretty.
She is musical and witty,
And her laugh is more to me than all
this world.
On, her cheeks are like ripe peaches,
She has golden hair which reaches
Far below her slender waist, by nature
curled.
She has promised me a wedding
If I'll furnish board and bedding,
So you know before 1 tell you what I'll
do
To my cottage l will take her,
And husband I will make her
Such as never any woman ever knew.
