INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of Toilsome Ministry Among the
Chncta Wa.

NhONLd VS.
Little York, Ind, April Especially
twenty-five years ago, the Rev. G.
III. Thompson left Indiana. For time
he preached in Arkansas, afterwards
entering ON the regular missionary
work among the ChOctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and labored
among the full bloods Of the western
prairfes, until on April 4. 1885, having
lost his wife, he left the circuit ON
which he had preached so long, and
commenced travelling missionary work
among the Indians of the various
tribes scattered in the West.
The irregular work involved great
deal of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of so much alllali water,
brought ON Kidney Troubles, which ter
minated in Diabetes
Finally, while laboring among the
Greek Indians at Wagner, Indian Ter
ritory, this noble man was stricken
down completely. A Chicago specialist
was summoned, and after a careful
examination, declared that there was
not the slightest chance of his recov-
cry. Besides the prescriptions OF the
doctors, he tried many other medicines,
but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days were
drawing to close, when I picked up
an Almanac telling of the cures of
Diabetes by the use OF Dodd's Kidney
Pills. / sent for two boxes. gained
strength and spirits fr6Mi" the time
commenced to use them, and so sent
for more. / am now completely cured,
and have not the slightest symptom Of
my old trouble.
Il am SO years of age. tell every
body Of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. / can certainly
indorse them heartily, and vouch that
they are all that is claimed for them.
They have certainly been a God-send

Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Brlght's
Disease, Diabetes or DrOpsy and they
never fail.

TIE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance or mors
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
OF exaggeration in this If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should SEQ
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate TO take their
daughters to physician for examine

write freely about her daughter or
herself TO Mrs. Pinkham and securo

Sowing Lettuce.

Says a grower in an exchange: As
soon as the ground can be worked in
the spring a sowing of the black-seeded
variety of lettuce is made in the open
ground, the rows being spaced one foot
apart and every other row being left
out, so that celery may be set in later
When the plants are large enough, they
are thinned so as to stand one foot
apart in the row. Servings are made
in this way every ten days until about
the Goth of August. These sowines
with those under glass, give eontinu-
ously maturing crops of lettuce the
year round.

Hay for Cows.

The trouble with most hay, particu-
larry clover and timothy, is that it is
not cut until too ripe. Insist upon get
ting hay cut early, particularly when
the price is as high as it is this year.
The cows will eat up timothy hay clean
if it is cut just as the bloom begins to
appear The same is true of clover.
Corn fodder which was cut moderately
early and balance with bran is an ex-

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular Eenstrustion
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pfnkham's great medicine for regu-

Best Size for SiIos.

1t seems that one may make a stave
silo too large to insure strength of the
structure, says the National Stockman
and Farmer. Probably Is or 20 feet is
the limit in diameter. One dairyman
having so large herd that he could
easily use off the surface of a silo 25
feet in diameter, built two silos of that
size, but the curve of the sides was so
slight that a storm drove one side in
despite the tight hopping. The greater
the curve the greater the power of re-
sisting pressure when the silo is empty.

A Farm Library.


If we had occasion to employ law
yer we should feel distrustful of one
who had not a good library of law
books. They are the tools of his trade.
He can refer to them for the opinions
of.wiSer men than himself, and learn
whatever he has not learned or refresh
his memory on points which he studied
once but which may have faded away
during the lapse of years. But we find
many far"'ers without book treating
on any branch of their business, and
some without even any paper that
treats on agriculture. Either they must
have a great deal of knowledge in their
brains. or they must often find them
selves lacking information upon some
questions such as so often come up in
their daily practice.-New England

Pruning Fruit Trees.

March and April are often favorable
months for pruning fruit trees, espe-
ciaIIy such as have been so we'll cared
for that there are only some superfiu-
Gus branches of last years growth to
be taken off where they crowd or are
growing across one another. But the
experiment station in California adj
vances another idea in regard to spring
pruning. They say that of four peach
trees, two of which were winter pruned
and then the fruit thinned, and the
other two that were spring pruned after
the fruit had set, the latter bore the
most peaches, and they were very
much larger. If this is true we do not
know why the same principle may not
hold good with other fruits.-Ex-

present. The reports of Secretary G..

McCarty, show the company to be in
a sound financial condition.
The meeting was harmonious
throughout aud by a rising vote of
the convention the officers were ten
dered a vote of thanks for their I'M

the most successful in the history of

A ou.,n .,,- worded Memorial


A quantity worded memorial has
been presented to the dowager empress
Of China and her faineant son on the
subject of mining concessions to for
eigners. In the opinion of the China
men who have drawn up this memorial
and who '.implore the sacred glance of
their Majesties" for their strictly COM
:nercial proposal. the tsung-li-yamen
and the board of mines have been a
great deal too free in the granting of
concessions. Whole districts have been
assigned to the concessionaires instead
of clearly defined spots, whilst hon
est. upright and worthy gentry and
merchants are left out in the cold.
The memorialists propose that in flu
ture Cinnamon and foreigners shall
own an equal number Of shares in any
mining company. They go a step
further. and claiTp that the direction of
mining companies shall rest in the
hands Of Chinese merchants: and If
foreigners object TO this system. and
ask that the direction be placed in
their hands. their request shall not be
entertained" The rapid advance in
the last sentence from business-like
suggestion to shee: exclusfveness Is
decidedly amusing.
