The Washington Post vouches for
the truth of the following little story:
"Gen. Miles, who has gained great
popularity IN The country by the
Sclilcy incident, was entertaining a
gentleman the other morning, who
came to call upon him with Represcn-
Jative Rixey, of Virginia, when the
Southerner, u blunt man, said; so
you, Gen. Miles, are the man who put
handouts upon Jefferson Davis!'
Yes, replied the General, with great
sauvity. but you mnst remember that
l was u very young man at that time
l am older now and know n good deal
more than l did then.'"

Farmer Hight raised them SO large

A JUDGES WIFE pzlS SH15 e2t 81
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
less-Cured by
Fe-ru-na.

| Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1917
West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Mimi, as fol-
/ lows:
u suffered for years with pain in the
small of my back and right side. 1t in
tcrfercd often with my domestic and
social duties and L never supposed that
L would be cured, as the doctors medi-
cine did not seem 10 help me any.

such high praise that decided to try it.
Although / started in with little faith, I
felt 50 much better in week that felt
encouraged.
Il took it faithfully for seven weeks

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases
of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.

The plantation Of Lambert Lake in
Washington county failed to hold its
annual meeting in the month Of March
as required By law, ana some Of the
citizens of the place are anxious to
know what can he done to remedy the
evil So fstr as the State knows there
is no such place as Lambert Lake in
existence. aud unless the plantation
reorganiZes before the first day Of
July ana makes returns to the secre-
tary OF State that organization has
been effected it cannot have its vote
counted by the Governor and council.
A petition must now be made to the
county commissioners Of Washington
county for permission to reorganiZe the
plantation. so that the school fund may
be drawn from the State treasury.
This. step is nccessitated. Last year
the plantation reported "A scholars and
drew $ll6.17 as its proportion of the
school money. For the year 1861 the
plantation raised $13S for school pur-
poses 10 be added to that received from
the state The total amount actually
expended for public schools in the
plantation from april !, 1900, to April
!. 1901, was see. or 50 more than the
tOt2l school resources.
As the annual meeting was not held
the annual appropriations We're not
made, and the plantation ceased to
exist. Us citizens must now begin
over again if they want to live as an
organized plantation.

BeaI's Pardon May Not Come
Before Present Council.
Plantation Failed to Have Annual
Meeting in March.
Col. Kendall of First Regiment Issues
General Orders.

The recent publication of the con-
lesion of Charles l.. Beal. now sarV-
ing life sentence in the State prison
for poisoning his father in the town Of
Clinton in 1883, recalls the fact that
two hearings for his pardon have been
heard b. the Governor ana Council.
The last hearing was on Feb. 2S, 1900,
and at that time Hon. W. G. Phil
brook Of Watervlle, presented Il strong
ease in behalf of Beal: but the council
voted leave to withdraw. At this
hearing Judge Philbrook claimed that
Charles Beal was convicted upon his
cWn evidence and stated that Charles
claimed il was his brother George. who
committed the crime and not himself.
1t seems to me- said State Off
ciaI. yesterday. that the confession of
Beal does not in any way strengthen
his chances for executive clemency, es-
pecially with the present personnel of
the executive council. When the par
don application was considered in 1900,
three members Of the present council
ana Governor Hill, himself. We're men,
b-Is of that body. The case was Il
<enncbac county matter. and conse-
qurntIy Governor Hill made Il special

tails. councillors Cook, Mayo and
Powers. Am Of whom are able lawyers.
also devoted much time to an eXamina-
ton of all the evidence, both for and
against Beal, not only that which was
;,ddured at the trial, but that which
WAS presented BY counsel ut the pardon
hearing. They could see no reason up
on which to base recommendation for
mis- release from prison.
TT would appear, therefore. il Beal
is thinking of asking for another hear
ing he had better defer the action un-
til II ncN council is elected, or ut all
events until n" mas been able to pre-

Took Him at His Word.

Many anecdotes show that Indians
have not been wanting in calculation
and cunning in their dealings with
white people. Indeed, the paleface, al
though superior in intelligence and ed
ucation, is often obliged to look very
sharp in order not to become the dupe
of the crafty red man. In ''The Deserts
of North America" this anecdote is re
lated:
An Indian, after hearing a preacher
speak from the text, make vows to
heaven and keep them," went up to
the preacher after the sermon and
said:
81 have made a vow to go to your
house"
The minister was a little surprised,
but he smiled and said, "Well, keep
your VOW"
On arriving at the house the Indian
seated himself and after a time re-
marked, Il have made a VOW to sup
with you"
This was also granted, but when, aft
er supper, the Indian announced, II
have made a vow to sleep in your
house." the minister began to fear that
there would be no end to the vows OF
his attentive auditor.
''That is easy to do. and you should
keep your vow," he said. II will give
you a bed. But" he added, 81 have
made a VOW that you shall leave to
morrow morning"
The Indian nodded. "GoodY' he said
"You make my vows come true, so
make your vow come true" And the
next morning he went away in goet
/ humor.

A woman with my prospects in oils got
the right to change her mind as often
as she likes. You can bring the preach
er over as soon as you please"
The young doctor came back to us
looking ten years older. 1t had been a
fair and square agreement, but we
could see that he wanted to throw us
down. He was as poor as a church
mouse, but the prospect of riches which
we dangled before his eyes could not
Danish the memory of Widow Stebbins'
face. Finally Perkins whispered to
me:
Lost his nerve. Have to be braced
up. Champagne's the stuff
But that was where we made our
mistake. The doctor was one of those
chaps who grow ugly under the influ-
ence of the sparkling fluid. Just when
we had him at the point where we
could hear wedding bells and oil wells
gushing simultaneously he broke loose,
punched our heads all round, and the
last news we got of him was that he
had left Oil City in a wagon, with a
black eye and a broken nose.
For a week we mOurned and could
not be cOmforted-that is, the younger
men mourned. Old Perkins. who had
invested the capital in the matrimonial
enterprise, swOre not softly, but often.
At the end of that time we heard
that Widow Stebbins had married a
railroad conductor, who had won her
out ON the plea that she could travel on
passes all over the world. That such a
bait could win a woman who by the
stroke of a pen could command mil
lions is one of the Inconsistencies of the
sex generally and widows in particu-
lar.
Three days after their marriage the
conductor had executed five leases, and
the farm looked like a modern beehive
Then a strange thing happened and
knocked out the husband, the geOlo-
gists, the borers and all hands on the
ground. Not a drop of oil was ever
struck on that farm. They went down
to sand rock and other kinds of rock
they bored and they torpedOed, but it
was a dead loss. The oil basin seemed
to have made an island of that farm.
A year later it was offered to any man
who would take it and pay the taxes.
never heard whether the doctor
learned of his narrow escape or wheth-
er the unfortunate railroad man hung
himself in despair, but personally
have always been profoundly grateful
to Widow Stebbins for pronouncing me
knee sprung, nearsighted and empty
| headed.
