A HELPLESS CHILD.

A weak and puny child is badly hand
icapped in the battle of life. 1t is isO-
lated from tie healthy enjoyments of
its little fellow beings. 1t cannot par
take either of their play or their sturdy
work and progress in the world; it's
whole life is embittered by incapacity
and weakness.
Any woman who expects to become a
mother ought to know what DR.. Pierce's
FavOrite Prescription will do both for
her own health and safety during her
time of trial, and also to insure her in
bequeathing fair measure of health
and strength to the prospective little
one.

THE PEONAGE CASES.
Heard Before U. S. Court of Appeals at
New Orleans.

Heard Before U. S. Court of Appeals at
New Orleans.
A dispatch from New Orleans on
Wednesday says that a case of more
than ordinary interest was argued in
the United States court of appeals in
this city. 1t was the application for
habeas corpus in behalf of Joseph
Thomas, Ben. W. Douglass and r. w.
Lewis, owners of turpentine works in
Florida, praying to be released from
the custody of the United States mar
shall at Pensacola, who is holding them
in custody for alleged violation of the
United States statutes fOrbidding
''peOnage," or involuntary servitude for
debt.
Hon. John Eagan, United States dis
trict attorney, received an answer
from Acting Attorney General Hoyt,
saying substantially that in reference
to the practice prevailing in turpentine
business to -4Old labOrers in a State of
involuntary servitude, your course in
inStituting proceedings for the arrest
AMI prosecution of the guilty parties is
fully approved, and you should pursue
proceedings with prOmptness and
vigOT. Section 5,526, revised statutes
applies, and at all events it is the duty
of the United States authorities to test
the question and to enforce the law, if
applicable. Where the persons held
are aliens, the act will apply"
The three men now applying for ha-
beas corpus were indicted for cOnspir-
acy to return to a condition of peOnage
certain persons by compelling them to
return to work. The accused are try
ing to obtain their release.
The case was argued yesterday by
Attorney Tunison, of Pensacola, Fla,
fOR the REALTORS; Judge John Eagan,
United States district attorney for the
State of Florida, and Judge w. W.
Howe, United States district attorney
for the eastern district of Louisiana,
representing the government officials.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the court.

On Wednesday night Mr.. Williams,
the leading man, was taken suddenly
i'll during the second act of THE Wild

to Indicate that relations ale STRAIN
ed to the breaking point tits a game
of industrial warfare, with millions
of capital involved, and the welfare
of great district and thousands of
wage earners at stake.
In this situation the trust defend
ers will find little to bear out their
fallacious assertions that the trust
plan is good thing. For number
Of years the lead trusts has been mas
ter of the chief industry of the Occur
d Alenes Its fiat has determined
the price of lead in the markets of
the United States, the price paid to
mineowners, and the quantity they
have been allowed to produce
The penalty for revolt against
these conditions was utter loss of q
market, condition the trust was able
to enforce by reason of it's control of
the country's smelters. There is nc
question that these intolerable con-
ditions have injured the Occur d
Alenes. They have restricted the
output and thereby deprived many
wage earners Of employment; and
they have intimidated mining capital
and thus checked further investment
and development of new mines.
After long endurance, the mine
owners are in revolt against the hard
terms OF the trust. They have de-
manded better price and an increas-
ed output, and apparently the trust
has rejected this demand, and init
mated that the producers could no,
help themselves. Against this the
owner have threatened to built Their
own shelters and re6neries and throw
their product on the open market il
competition with the trust.
The outcome can not be foretold
but In any event, 1t appears that tn,

fuse, great smelter and refinery vii

The
GRACIOUS
WOMAN

uCHE doeth little kindnesses
Which most leave undone or de-
~ spise,
For naught that sets one heart at
And giveth happiness or peace
Is low esteemed in her eyes,
quoted the woman softly.
The girl at her side followed her
gaze to where it rested on a plain,
middle aged woman who was advanc-
ing into the room, bowling slightly and
smiling to the other occupants as she
did so. "And is that the secret of her
popularity" she said. 81 have often
wondered, for she is not wealthy, beau
tiful or clever"
"She is more than that" returned
the other; "she has the divine gift of
graciousness."
Then, as the girl was silent, she
went on: II wonder If you, or, for
that matter, half OF the women now
adays, recognize the value Of gra-
ciousness. 1t would appear not, for the
quality is plainly dying out, but it often
means the difference between a happy
and an unhappy life You know there
is great deal of truth in the axioll
that we receive in return the same
scoin which we pay out. If in our
heart of hearts we distrust, we also
shall be distrusted. If our hearts are
full of kindness and we radiate smiles
and good will, we call out, to ourselves
just those very characteristics In those
with whom we come In contact. And
that is the way with the gracious
woman. A little smile, bow, a pleas
ant Good morning. a heartfelt Can
l do something for your when another
seems in trouble-these cost little, but
mean so very, very much.
"A woman may be paragon Of stern
unfiincbing virtue, and she will find nc
one to love her. More than that, sEs
will do actual harm by making virtue
seem unattractiv and hard when it IL
only that she herself lacks gracious
ness On the other hand, am sorr,
to say, she may be shining example
Of all that she should not be and We
attract young and old to her because
she possesses graciousness."

VETERAN TO HELP VETERAN

1t is a pretty convincing sign that
the war is over when the Command
er-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic calls upon the Union
veterans to contribute to the fund to
aid in the construction OF a home for
ex-confederates at Mission Creek,
Ala. There is no doubt that there
will be generous response to the
call. With the lapse OF years, the
suffenngs, privations and unpleasant
experiences incident to war have
gradually been forgotten, and, as
the rancor of the conflict has passed
away and the feelings of the veteran
have mellowed with advancing years,
it is only the brighter side that the
old soldier sees fit to recall.
1t is the men who did the fighting
that now talk the least of fight.
Those who would fight battles over
questions that were settled by the
sword 40 years ago are often men
who either saw nothing of the war be-
cause they were in the rear or were
born after the war had been termin-
ated Year after year the federal
and confederate have come in kind
lier spirit to appreciate the fine quail.

on hotel piazzas, and sometimes, when
they are very interesting, one doesn't
always like to have a stranger come
In and join them. Well, yesterday
about five of us were talking cozily
when Mrs. Hunterton came striding
down the piazza in that uncompromis-
Ing way of hers and proceeded to set
tie herself down in our midst. Well,
of course she had right to, for we all
knew her, and yet for some reason we
mentally resented it almost as If she
were an interloper. Then five minutes
afterward that gentle little Mrs. Smith
came along and, stopping. said In her
timid, graceful way: Your group looks
30 interesting! May join 1t and have
good time too? That was all, and
yet we made room for her in a body"
The woman nodded her approval.

who radiate smiles and sunshine and
whom every one loves-while there are
others-mere tots, too-who stand aside
pensive and distrustful and as Il con-
sequence are unloved. And yet their
whole unhappy futures might be
changed If their mothers realized that
all they lacked was graciousness. 1t
is the one quality that is the substi-
tute for eternal youth, that makes the
gray haired woman who possesses it
the center of little circle of which
she Is the queen, while her younger
and more attractive rivals wonder why
they are left to themselves"
And the girl grew very thoughtful.
