Tn the. days following the baby's birth there is often a long uphill struggle to recover strength, and the nurse busies herself in the preparation ot jellles and broths for the invalid.
 When Dr. Pierces Favonte Prescrip- ton is used as a preparative for mother hood the baby's advent is practically painless, there is abundant strength to nurse and nourish the child, and rapid recovery from the shock and strain in separable from maternity.

FESTIVAL FLAG DAY
HISTORIC STARS TO BE PLANT
 ED IN CAPITOL GROUNDS.
Relics of Santiago and Manila to Be Presented to the State by Cap tain Hobson-Courtesy of
 Colonel Herbert.

Monday, October 2S, the opening day Of
 the Fall Festival is also to be Flag Day
 and 1t promises to rival in interest all the
 days of the Festival. Two flag poles. one
 sixty feet long taken from the spanish
 ship Don Juan de Austria, which was
 sunk by Admiral Dewey at Manila and
 most spar 35 feet long taken from the
 Spanish ship Oquendo, sunk by Admiral
 Schley at Santiago will be planted on
 the capital grounds amid imposing cere-
 monies. A flag which was the first Ameri-
 can flag flung to the breeze at Santiago
 will be run up on the pole, together With
 a flag of the State of Alabama and
 Street Fair flag.
 These historic spars were brought to
 America by Captain R. P. Hobson and
 he intends to give them to the State of
 Alabama as a present
 A hitch occurred after the spars reached
 this country as the Secretary of the Navy
 claimed that the spars were government
 property and could not begiven away by
 Captain Hobson. For time it seemed
 that this feature of the Fall Festival
 would have to be eliminated Captain A G. Forbes, chairman of the Flag Day Committee of the Street Fair Association took up a correspondence with Hon, Hilary A. Herbert at Washington and enlisted his service. Mayor E.. B. Joseph also interested himself in the movement and wrote several letters to MT. Herbert. After considerable correspondence telegram was received from MT. Herbert yesterday in which he said that he had secured the consent of the Secretary of the Navy for the loan of the two spars | to the State of Alabama and that in- structions had been forwarded to the commardant at the navy yard at Nor folk Va and at New York and that the two historic pieces of timber will be ship ped to Montgomery at once.
 It Is understood that the government l has no use for these spars and 1t only requires an act of Congress to allow Cap
 tain Hobson to give them to the State | and there Is no doubt that when Con- gross convenes this will be done at once. | The spar sixty feet long will require | three flat cars to transport it to Mont | gomery On this spar will be attached | the thirty-five foot spar from the Oquendo | making q pole ninety-five feet high Gen | eral Wheeler has consented to lend his | flag, the first American flag to float over
 Santiago and this will be run up first, l Then a State flag of Alabama and Street Fair flag will follow. The exer- | cises promise to be an event in the fau | festival and after the act by the Federal | Congress donating the relies to Alabama | the spars will be permanent property ana will remain always at the capilai | grounds. .,,,, | The local committees are very enthu- | siastic in their praise of the untirinS e1- | forts of Hon. H. A. Herbert in securing | tha loan of the spars in time for the Fall Festival.

 The reasons of the s5 or se per cent. who were true to their sex are interesting If not alarming to the masculine mind. A large percentage. especially in New England. said they would rather be wo- men because women are better than men. Twenty per cent. of the Indiana maidens were glad they were not men because place. In general. the American girl seems to be convinced that 1t Is more important to be woman than a man.. the world in spite of the men who own It. One says she would rather be wo- man because she cannot be anything else, and she means to be as good as man, anyway" One Is reminded frequently of Mrs. Powers by the replies of the Indiana samples:
 Women are more industrious than men
 Women have good chances in life: they can be in any profession; or, If they do not want to be. they can marry and do nothing"
 T would rather be a woman, because they suffer more. than men. and 1t is blessed to suffer-"
 "I was born a girl. and I shall have to be a woman, so there is not use in crying
 "A man can work harder, and woman has more sense. If I wanted to he a man it would be no use, and men swear and spit on the floor, so l have not lost much"
 "I would rather be a woman, as they have better chances in life as teachers in public schools
 "I would rather be a woman any day; men get drunk and steal and they cant work or make children's clothes or do anything useful
 Evidently there Is a hard time coming for American men when these frank spoken Hoosier maidcns grow to ma turity. Their almost unanimous verdict on the comparative merits of men and women ought to cause the lords of crea- ton to take Il number estimate Of them

THE SPELL BROKEN.

"Andersc F says he met you on the ave nue yesterday, but he was not sure that you recognized him. said Jack, with troubled lock in his honest eyes.
 "I am delighted to hear it" answered Mad2e, with a trill of gay laughter That was pr, cisely the state of mind that l wished to produce, but Was not certain I had acquired the necessary manner. l believe my education Is now complete. What an unsophisticated crea- ture 1 was year ago"
 T liked the old Madge best" said
 Did you?" said Madge. indifferently But what a goose I was. had so many illusions. I believed in so many things and so many people, almost every thing and everybody, l think. absurd as 1t seems"
 q had hoped you would always be kind to my friends, Madge. Anderson is no carpet-knight: but he is an honest man and a good fellow"
 That was simply one of your little misapprehensions," replied Madge, light friends" my friends yours in the nearest sense. That wouli be unreasonable" said Jack gravely. All I ask is common civility. ~,
 That also Is at my own discretion retorted Madge wilfully.
 T could never cut any one except for the gravest reasons" said Jack, soberly. T never cut any one in my life but Dick Foster"
 ''Dick Foster? And what has he done to incur your displeasure?' Madge asked. with bright hard look.
 You know that Ella Parsons is in the insane asylum and you know why" said Jack, sternly. He ought not to he re- ceived in decent society"
 Madge's face grew still harder it may as well be understood once for all that I shall recognize whom ] please, and when and where | please" she said; oil a matter in nich 1 would not be guided by the Prince Of Good Form himself"
 ishcd Jack.
 "Dick Foster" she responded with an- other hard glance.
 Jack rose unstcadily. He was not go- ing to quarrel with Madge just then. He vas not fit For days he had been aware that his head and legs were a little queer Nothing serious, he said to himself. as he descended the steps; and vet his feet were Stil unsteady ana nis head curiously light.
 It would have been easy for him to give Madge up had he not nrmly oe5 leyed that the sweet-souled dewy-eyed glII who had won his heart still dwelt somewhere within that cold aad worldly exterior like a princess shut in a tower waiting for some bold knight to release her from the spell of the. enchanter
 T fear I'm not the knight he thought sadly, as he walked heavily down the street; and still, he could not decide to give her up-not just yet.

THE OCTOBER STARS.
Meteors are Scheduled to Appear
 Saturday Night.


 The 18th of this month is the date for the appearance of the meteors known as Orionids, their radiant-the point from which they seem to shoot-being in the constellation Orion. This system usually gives us a fairly fine display, and it will be well to bear the date in mind. The best of the display occurs after midnight.
 Minima of the variable star Algol will occur this month on the 31st at 8 D. m.
 Mercury will be visible as an evening star until near the close of the month. It will be at it's greatest brilliancy on the 2Oth. Look for it at a low altitude south of west.
 Venus is now a fine evening star. all though of only about one-third of her brlliapcy when at her brightest.
 Mars is still an evening star. but not very brilliant. It is moving eastward. During the month 1t will pass from Libra into Scorpio, and at the end of the month it will be about six degrees northeast of Antares, setting at about ' p. m. Jupiter and Saturn are still conspicu- ous evening stars in Sagittarius. Both are travelling eastward. Jupiter faster | than Saturn, so that the interval between | them Is closing up. Uranus, in the Scor- pion, ten degrees northeast of Antares, is also an evening star, setting about an hour before Jupiter.

 Jack Downing is downed at last" said figures on the ball room floor. Brain fever
 The words drfted into the conserya- tory where Madge was sitting, and Tor a moment she thought the lights had gone out. Then they blazed up again with ten-fold brilliancy, and at the same time the white light of reason and com mon sense that had been m so 3, long I; uit6 Gn, all it's old power. shattering to atoms the shell of wordliness and sceptlclsm which had closed around her heart.
 Seeing that Dick Foster was scanning her with a look of cool curiosity. she composed her face and summoned up all the self-control she possessed. ,,oaso "I will go home now, If you please' Mir, Foster" she said col9ly.
 "He has simply been .overworked, my dear child" the cid doctor repeated was obliged to go to.

 Although Madge went home convinced that shc had flattered herself too much in thinking that her insignificant dolnRs had brought about Jacks illness. she was not entirely reassured. Even IT she had added little to the load he had been CArrying she had done nothing to tighten it. and she might have done so much. She had not dreamed it was so heaYy.
 And while he was toiling like a slave. you-you were flirting with Dick Eos ter" she said contemptuously to the pale face that confronted her as she LOOK the fading flowers from her hair ana shook ut the shining COILS.
 
 Jacks hands lay like withered leaves on the snowy coverlet, and the wan; shriveled face on the pillow seemed hardly human. but his eyes were bright ! with returning life ands dawning nope, l Has the princess escaped from the tower at last? Is 1t really the old : Madge?" he whispered, doubtfuliy.

Mrs. J. M. deCottss.

In a letter which speaks of that visit he writes: Tt was an honor to show Miss Keller over the Indiana, and the very happiest incident of the cruise for me. Her delight at being aboard was a great pleasure to me, and more than once my eyes filled with tears when 1 looked at her beautiful face that could not return my gaze. She is a wonderful woman, and I was astonished at her Knowledge of ships and their appliances. When We showed her the turret she wanted to know where the 'sighting-hood' was. I had never before known a woman who knew what a sighting-hood is. so that you can we'll imagine my surprise" When the Spanish war was in full blast Miss kel- Ter first heard from the newspapers of the ''sighting-hood," and it was ever af- ter her ambition to know for herself what 1t was
