Headache may be called womai's

almost all women have to endure its pain
with each recurring month. This fact

of the whole body. DR.. Pierce's Favor

as this figure indicates a decline in

pany Is composed quite exclusively of
the banks which held the securities
of the Crude Rubber Co., and was

A MEAT MERGER IN SIGHT

Unless the government pushes its
orously the meat packers will merge
their plants into one corporation be-
fore trial is reached. When the in
junction against the trust was taken
| out ii was the impression that there
would be a trial of the case within a
very few weeks. Nothing practically
has been heard of the case recently,
and it is probable that nothing will be
done with it before fall.
In the meantime it is reported, and
seemingly on the best of authority,
that the packers are preparing to
merge their plants and businesses into
one corporation. That is the kind of
a trust the Northern Securities Com
pany is, and also the United States
Steel corporation. 1t is the claim of the
lawyers that a trust of that sort can
not be reached by any law that has yet
been passed, or that is likely to be.
1t is fact that the government suit
against the Northern Securities Com
pany seems to be making little or no
progress. That is the great railroad
trust against which the President or
dered a suit to be brought. Why
there is not more activity on the part
of the government in the suits against
trusts is something which no one seems
ready to explain. Can it be possible
that the government has come to the
conclusion that 1t has no cause of ac-
ton, and that there will have to be
more legislation before trusts can be
reached? sit certainly seems so.
Unless, however there is more haste
than there is at present in bringing
the case against the meat trust to trial
there will be no trust that can be
reached when the trial is begun, but
there will be a great corporation,
which will include all the meat pack
ing plants in the country. In fact,
according to reports. this corporation
is already in sight.

TROUBLES OF DIVORCES.

The newspapers of New York
Chicago and other Northern cities pub
lish almost every day accounts of fam
lily jars, OF most Earring character,
between women who have been divor-
ced and married again and their hus-
bands No. 2 Cor No. 8, as the case may
he). In many cases OF marriage after
divorce, the conditions precedent are
such as to breed suspicion and 1eal-
ousy, with the result that the marriage
tie not only hangs loosely, but is apt
to dangle and drag considerably.
In New York a court has just given
a decree against Archibald Watt, ex-
Commodore of the New York Yacht
Club, in favor of his wife, Adele F.
Watt, pending further divorce proceed
ings. The decree awards the woman
$500 a week alimony and a consider
able sum of money for attorneys fees.
This neat pecuniary award was made
in the face of Mr.. Watts plea that
he has no income, but is dependent for
a living upon wealthy maiden aunt.
Watts living" must be quite expen
sive, and his aunt very generous, see
ing that he is building a new $500, 0O6
yacht; and 1t was testified in the pro-
ceedings of the court that the cost
of keeping up his yacht was between
$4,000 and 100000 year. Such items
of expense incident to the living OF
man with no income, save the bounty
of a maiden aunt, would seem to mark
the man as a rather high roller, on ex-
pectations.
Commodore Watts wife was an Au-
gusta girl. and married an Augusta
man. They went to New York to live.
After time there was q divorce, and
on the same day that the decree was
granted the divorce became the wife
of Watt. The principal witness against
the wife was a colored waiting maid
whom Mrs. Watt had taken with her
from Augusta. This maids testimony
il true, would have been quite damag-
ing to the character of a clergyman.
to say nothing to its effect upon Mrs.
Watt. However, the New York Judge
seemed TO have very good apprecia-
ton of the value of such testimony.
and took no stock in the colored maids
story

A Refuge.

mot hope to pick and choose too fas-
tidiously as to its guests because of the

Not long ago the night clerk was
doing over his desk about 2 a. M, and
was suddenly startled by deep, pro-
longed snore and another snort. He
looked about him and found a middle
aged stranger, respectable in appear
ance, sound asleep on the floor behind
the door. his clothes and gripsack be-
side him.
Here! Wake up! What do you mean
by sleeping here?" asked the clerk.
The aroused countryman looked
around him for minute, and then ex-
planned:
You see, I'm just a bit afeared of
fire; so took the tip on the sign about
it being safe in the Office and came
down here to snooze."

Hot Bricks For Sharks.

THE waters around Martinique are
usually swarming with sharks" said
old Skipper" Perry, a retired sea cap
tain, according to the Philadelphia
Record. They have the reputation
of being man-eaters, which makes
bathing a dangerous as we'll as an ex-
citing sport. l shall never forget how
on one of my visits to the island, the
engineer effectually got rid of the
monsters They were fairly churning
the water into foam. Some of the
crew wanted to go overheard for a
swim, but were naturally afraid of
being nipped 1t was then that the
engineer demonstrated his resource
fulness. Taking a lot of bricks, he
heated them to white heat down in
the fire room, and then poured oil over
them. Then he quickly got them on
deck. and with the aid of a pair of
tongs he threw them overheard, one
by one. The first one had scarcely
struck the top of the water before a
hungry shark swallowed it whole. The
scorchfng brick inside naturally made
him feel as though there was a vol
cano in his stomach, and he started to
do all sorts of crazy stunts before dis
appearing in deep water. Each one of
the hot bricks was swallowed by a.
shark, and in a few minutes there
wasn't one to be seen. 1t was the only
time ever knew the trick to be played
on them"

He can't ride bareback, and to-day,
When we slid on the straw,
He asst if roosters help to lay
The eggs 1 pick fer nav

AS though he thought he's bite,
And he amt ever shot a gun
Or had a homemade kite;
He never MIXED a COW and he
Can't even dive or swim

I'm glad that / amt him.
He thinks it's lot of fun to pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb in the barn and jump,
For fear of gettin' hurt.

His hairs all over curls,
His hands amt half as big as mine,

But he can fight all right.

CAPT. HOWELL's CANDIDACY.

Capt. Evan p Howell is a candidate
for Mayor of Atlanta. and the Morning
News takes the liberty of mixing in
the politics of that city to the extent
of saying that If there is a citizen of
Atlanta who is entitled to that Office
that man is Capt Howell. And we
do not say this because of the part
he took in defending the city when it
required musket balls. grape, canister
and shells to do it.
He is directly and indirectly one of
the powers that have made Atlanta
the geat city she is. While he tells a
good story and is not averse to maxi
ing the world brighter by humorous
contributions for the benefit of his fell
low mortals, he is an able lawyer, a
good writer and a clear-headed man
of business. There is no other man in
Georgia who can come nearer filling
with credit any position to which he
may be called than he. and he isn't
afraid to advocate what others op-
pose when he thinks he is right.
OF course, like many other men who
stand above their fellows, some peo-
pie don't like him, but if the people of
Atlanta want to make their city hus-
tie, even more than she hustles now,
and it must be admitted that she has
a reputation for hustling, Capt. Evan
P. Howell is the man they want in the
Mayors Office.

. CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark (Dem), says:
the money question in New England
the Democratic party loses chunk of
votes"
The Washington Post Ind), says:
Representative Brantley. of Georgia,
in his letter accepting renominat ton,
disposes of the imperialism issue If
just a single sentence, While the re-
mainder of his letter, nearly a column
and a half. is devoted to denouncing
the ubiquitous trusts This is another
straw which shows how the wind
blows"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.), SAYS: Republican papers
have resurrected from the Congress
ioral Record and are parading some
words of w. j. Stone, of Missouri, who
said when in Congress: I give 1t as
my deliberate judgement. I state it as
fact that no people on earth, since
governments were instituted among
men, have been so despoiled and
plundered in the name of patriotism
and under the guise of pension laws
as have been the people of the United
States But what of it? If the truth
ever appeared in the Congressional
Record it appeared In this. instance"
The Boston Globe says: 1.-THE south
will soon lead the world in cotton man
ufacture. That the scepter is gradual
ly being wrested from us is easy to
figure, and at the present rate of pro-
gress eight years will suffice to swing
the balances south. The isthmian
canal will benefit the south more than
the north. There is no escaping the
economic law that where a product can
be manufactured lowest there it is
bound to be manufactured. The cotton
factory that is nearest the cotton field
will win the long run. All
this does not imply that manufac-
ture will ever cease to flourish in the
north. but cotton manufacture must
gradually drift 20 where the raw ma
terial is cheapest produced. COMPETE
tiion is so close nowadays that there Is
no escape from X. Fifty years ago
such Transformation would have
never been thought possible. The south
and the north are changing hands. but
the north viii not suffer by 1t in the
eEd."

tug Wilson" tells a good story
about an kentucky colonel of the
Quality Folks" sort, whom he once
met in Western Kansas, says the
Ozark News. THE colonel was an
enthusiast on the irrigation scheme
that was sweeping over Kansas at that
time. He was so positive in his the
cries and so high tempered that few
people cared to disagree with him. One
day, as he was standing in front of the
office, talking with several friends,
Pink Barclay, that lives over on
Snake creek, came along, and, after
shaking hands around, turned to the
colonel and said Colonel. I've got
forty acres of land lying close to Snake
Creek that 1 want to irrigate, and |
would like to ask your advice about it,
Very we'll sah,' responded the colonel
my advice is. dam the creek L did
do that said Pink and cut a ditch
down across the land, but l couldn't
get rise enough Then 1 would dam
the ditch, sah,' replied the colonel.
That's just what did do, said Pink,

banks; what would you do about that p
