A STRONG LETTER TO DR. HALL.

Stevenson, Ala, June 6 1901.
 Dear Sir: I have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. I have also taken many different remedies: I taken swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- fparing for the third. saw your Texas Wonder advertised. and purchased bot tlel And 1 got almost immediate relief and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And call 1t Worlds s Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give trial.
 r Wishing you success, am, Fl Yours Truly, . w. c. DANIEL, Sold by all druggists. F. o. Box e2s' st Louis Mo

BLOOD AND iRoN

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of on. breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit Of the hodr every three minutes, and when if cache, the lungs each atom of iron takes tn,o atoms of oxygen back with it to keen tho fires of life going. This oxygen destrovs waste matter and helps to restore yo,,, wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron you lack tho, much of life: you fail that much to keer up the needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This ac' counts for the hfe-givtng properties n, pr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iron and to do that 1t is to restore the f,,i body y-building power to the blood. Tht. iron has a peculiar life-quickenins func ton; vitality goes down whenever an, proportion of the iron is lacking. Vioo, and strength returns just as surely wher this element is restored
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic heIps sick n, tired-out people quickest because it con. tains the particular blood-malins ana strcngth-giving form of iron that the svs tenn needs. This remedy purifies and en- riches the blood, 1t increases the activity of the stomach, liver and Kidneys. Ii overcomes nerviousness and builds LID vii tality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-1ve years Prepared only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

Book for Children SC I < x E SC X S By Zitella Cooke.

Tn sunny France they cry. 'Bon jourr
 And boys and girls in Naples say, 1 In such a pretty, pleasant way, 1 'Buon gforno! and my dear Aunt Jane. Who travelled long ago in Spain,
 Says little Spanish children greet,
 Buenos dias!' clear and sweet. l And so it is the wide world through,
 In Russia, and in Holland, too,
 The queer old Turk. the swede, the Dane, l Not one can say Good morningr plain:
 But some strange glbberish instead, 1 That does not seem to me well-bred:
 And only English folk and we 1 Can speak it as it ought to be
 So now I'm thinking up a plan l To go abroad when I'm a man, 1 And teach these foreigners to say l Good moTningp in proper way"
 ''The Grasshoppers' Hop" is Illustrated l by Joseph J. Mora. It is one of a series
 to which Kipling and Miss Ewing of
 England and a host of other well known writers have contributed. Miss Cooke and
 Robert Browning are the only poets l whose verses are included in these series l A comment from the Boston Times ia as l follows:
 Pacing a time that seems especially | fruitful of attractive books for children l comes "The Grasshoppers' Hop and Other l Verses" by zitella Cooke. It's nearest | neighbors, so to speak, are books by Kin ling, Barrie, Mrs. Burnett, Dr. Hale. and Miss Ewing, since it is issued in Estes | Young-of-Heart Series, and truly 1t de- serves to be in this good company. Here. daintily illustrated by Joseph J. Mora. are more than a hundred poems. Originally
 they appeared In St. Nicholas, The Youths Companion, Harpers Young Peo- pie, and other periodicals of literary
 standing, and 1t would be safe wager
 that some of them could now be found in almost any family scrapbook that has been compiled within ten years. But odd copies of magazines are hard to preserve, and scrapbooks beloved by children will
 wear out, and 1t was surely a happy thought that prompted the author and her publishers to put these charming lit- tie lyrics, old friends and new, into more permanent form
 There are few readers of The Times
 who need assurance of Miss Cocke's lit-
 trary quality. A former book of hers, "A Doric Reed" became known to and ap- preciateu by this constituency, some
 years ago. Yet 1t can do no harm to say that her poems of and for children dis play the finer characteristics of all her verse, which means that they are origi- nally conceived and artistically wrought cheerful in tone, uplifting in sentiment, and consistently melodious. Each of them tells Q story, too, as poetry addressed to young people always shoulu. The book is one more pleasant reminder that the holidays are approaching, and that at that season the best things are not all for the grownups. Santa Claus knows it, and he can confidently offer "The Grasshop- pers' Hop to any boy or girl between the ages of 6 and 1&"

two seconds he had me in a place of safe ty." In the hospital the surgeon told him his legs must be amputated. 'Reaching over, I pulled my gun from under my pillow; I told him that there were six loads in 1t. and If he or any one else en- tered my door with anything that looked like case of instruments meant to be- gin shooting, and he might rest perfectly sure that would kill six yefore they cut my legs of"
 One might quote this kind of seff-lauda- tion by the column. Now 1t Is a recital of how 'I' captured a burglar single- handed in a dark cellar. Then 1t is the narrative of how ''I'' was relieved from duty on the lighthouse board by the Sec retary of the Navy, "but 1 took it as quietly as possible and have always felt contented that I was not personally known to the man who could so far de- grade the high office he held" This is the bit of the writing in wretched taste which called forth the recent rebuke. Again, one is told how q" tried to play the part of "the great shipbuiider Cramp," and succeeded to the authors satisfaction. Apparently 1t was this same 'T' who, alone and unaided, prevented a war with Chilli over the varparaiso affair and with Great Britain over the sealing question.
 The acme of bad taste is found on the admiral's last page. where, in his own book, he quotes some resolutions adopted by his men on the Iowa to the effect that You are more than hero to a nation you are a hero to your men," As If this did not quite cover the subject. the ad- miral concludes:
 My yarn of forty years of naval life Is spun think I cannot close 1t more appropritely than by repeating a remark made by me in Cincinnati. I was attend ing a reception in the Chamber of Com merce, where many people had assembled to meet me. A whtte-haired old gentle man stopped in front of me, and, taking

 Always scraped the same old strain l But such triyal objections Never spoil the Hoppers play, l So they Jumped a jig till midnight 1 And hoped home at break of day" In all Miss Cocke's verses 1t Is evident 1 that she Is close student of child nature and whether she attempts to be trival or l to draw moral there is decided charm and delicacy of touch. A few verses from her '-Csreat-great- grandmother's Picture will appeal to the imaginable child:
 ''Great-great-grandm picture
 Is hanging on the wall, In brocade gown and petticoat,
 Dressed for a grand court ball! Twas painted by Sir Joshua, A hundred years ago,
 When ladies visited in chairs
 And rode in Rotten Row. "Her heair, upon a cushion,
 Is combed to such a height, It must have been burden,
 That famous court ball night. A snowy octrich feather
 Is fixed within her curls. And thus attired, she talked and danced
 With lords and dukes and earlsl Her lips are sweetly smiling.
 Her eyes are large and blue, And now that7I remember.
 They say I'm like her too Lets see, I'll make topknot.
 And hold my head just so. And wear my velvet bodice,
 Which looks like hers, I know. At Williamsburg, they tell me.
 In colony times, long gone. She danced the old Virginia reel
 With General Washington, And looked so grand and stately
 As she moved in the dance A real queen of history Or lady of romance."
 One of the brightest poems in her Good Morning.
 "when have slept the night away. And wake to see the light of day, I rise and dress, and down the stair I trip, and hear from everywhere. Good morning! Oh, good morning all!' From every lip the same words fall And yet learned in school hast year, They do not greet as we do here, In countries far across the sea. For children in old Germany Say. 'Guten morgenf and I'm sure
