tional church next Sunday morning will be
"What Is a Christisn?",
Quite large crop of ice has been har-
vested from the West hill pond By those
who have done the cutting it is pronounced
the finest quality gathered for long time.
OF all the large number OF calendars for
1901 sent into town and distributed, none
have given so much satisfaction and been
so much sought for as those furnished by
the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Com

have made them very desirable.
On the evening OF Feb II, in the absence
of Lysander e. Walbridge his house was

The last lecture OF the course was given
last week by Rev. ID. l.. Hillard OF this

the most practical and best OF the season.
The stove polish man did a thriving bust

He announced that his headquarters was
at Montpelier and that he should be through
this section once in three or four weeks.
Good advice to him would be, unless he
wishes to meet with the same fate that the
saloons and saloon keepers have in Kansas
from the women, he had better keep away
from here.

CHICAGO FIRE BUGS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The mysterious
fires that have recently been started in
several large hotel, and which the de-
tectives from the central station and
the fire insu ance patrol inspectors
have been watching, are now pronounc-
ed by both sets of watchers 10 be bo-
gus fires, which have been started to
help the sale of fire extinguisher.
The peculiar nature of the fires and the
frequency with which they have occur
red have made the detectives suspicious
from the first, and they now feel con-
fident that the whole thing is simply a
scheme to exploit the merits of this ex-
tinguisher.

DOUBLE TYNCHTNG.

DYERsBURG, Tenn, Feb. 20.-Fr ed
King and Sam Montgomery, two ne
groes, were taken from Jail yesterday
and hanged on the public square by
mob of 100 persons. They we're charged
with assaulting Miss Elsie Arnold,
white woman.
King had a mob trial and was found
guilty by the jury, after which quick
work was made of the execution. He
was hanged with stout rope to a tree
and placard warning negroes against
assault on white women was pinned to
his back The town was soon in the
hands of the mob and the officers made
no attempt to control it.
After King had been hanged the
mob broke buck to the Jail for Mont
gomery. The .ilor had hidden him
away and for an hour every nook and
corner was searched for him. At last
he was found in closet OF the Jail and
brought up on the square almost under
the corpse of King. He stoutly main
tanned his innocence, but 80 frenzied
had the mob become by this time that
he was hanged without trial. The two
bodies were left dangling in the air I'M
til nearly shutdown and thousands OF
people gazed upon them. AT night the
coroner cut them down, and a jury
found that the men came to their
death at the hands of unknown parties
a peculiar fact being that some of the
same persons who acted on the jury
were members of the mob.

Persons bound to fast may use meat only

United them by these indults; persons not
bound to fast are not Thus limited. The
use of meat on Sundays is not limited as to
the number OF times.
Even those who are bound to fast may
take in the morning small piece OF bread
wi h cup Of tea, coffee, chocolate or SINH
lar drink.
At the evening collation., on account OF
long existing custom, the church tolerates
the use OF eggs, butter, cheese and milk.
Those who cannot conveniently take the
principal meal OF the day at noon time
may invert the order, taking the collation.
in the morni 1g and dinner in the evening.
The use of fl .sh meat and fish at the same
meal is not allowed, even on Sunday.
Besides lard, the fat rendered from any
kind of meat may be used in preparing food
on any day in Lent. Tbi, dispensation is
extended TO the days OF abstinence and the
fast days throughout the year.
The following persons are exempted from
the obi cations of fasting. All under q

all those whose duties are Of laborious or
exhausting nature. Persons thus exempt
from fasting are still bound by the law oil
abstinence, except in cases OF sickness or
the like, or when dispensed AZ above.
custom TO be comm 9nded Is the alb
stinence from intoxicating drinks during
Lent in honor of the sacre thirst Of ouI
divine Saw )ur.
The usual Lenten devoti)ns will be pro
vided in the chnrchs of the diocese and tn

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun In hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tions1 Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as rule tho
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for life such as was
lived by the women Of the past.
That is why good woman may be a
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
woMRN coNvIcTs. So
To great number of women the
house they live In Is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t is prison-like In the
monotonous regularity of daily duties
prison-like in the absence Of all pleasure
In what Is done or Joy In the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-heslth. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart "trouble," disorders of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as a result of diseased CON
dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women vdoctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism rs entirely

This is not theory. 1t is a statement
of simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony of hundreds of thousands of
women who have been cured of woman
ly diseases by the use of DIR. Pierce's
