Frequent

headache.

There's MANY a cause for headache.
Men are not often troubled by headaches.
When they are it is generally due to bill
iousness or indigestion. But women
have headaches which seem peculiar to
their sex, frequent nervous throbbing
headaches. Does it not seem as II such
headaches peculiar to women must be at
once related to womanly disease? Won-
en- who suffer with diseases peculiar to
the sex do not realize the drain OF vital
strength and nerve force they undergo
as a consequence of disease. 1t is this
which causes the familiar headaches OF
sick women.

The northern boundary line of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by the
Delaware river from twelve miles dis
tant north OF Newcastle town until the
three and fortieth degree of north lati-
tude" and that the southern boundary
was to be "a circle drawn at twelve
miles distant from the town of New
castle northward and westward until
the fortieth degree of north latitude
and then by a straight line westward"
This makes a circular boundary for
northern Delaware unavoidable, and
the facts above set forth explain geo.
graphical curiosity that has puzzled
many students.

The Exposition During Month OF May.

The Southern Railway the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Plant System have
arranged to continue the sale of the
cheap tickets to the exposition, as sold
during the month of April, on every
Tuesday and Thursday during the month
of May. This will enable all who have
not yet visited the exposition to do so
during its closing month, and those who
have visited it to again take advantage
of the low rate offered, as many will
undoubtedly do.
There has been great deal said in the
columns OF the papers in regard to the
exposition and its many attractive fea-
lures. There is one, however, that has
been almost entirely ignored or over
looked by all correspondents, and prob
ably from the fact that its location is
such as not to attract general attention.
Reference is made to the grass garden of
the United States Agricultural Depart
ment, which consists of four acres of
ground and is located just east of the
| encampment Of the marine corps. Every
| farmer who visits the exposition should
visit this garden. Here are to be found
growing over fifty different specimens of
forage crops suitable for our Southern
suns, as well as wheat, rye and barley of
many kinds. The seeds of the different
forage crops referred to have been gath
cred from Africa, Egypt, China, Ireland,
Scotland, England, Australia and many
other countries. The representative of
the Agricultural Department in charge
of the garden is IL practical farmer and
can give the visitor full information re-
garding each and every species of the
crop. and it can be said to every farmer,
II he can spare the time to go down, even
| If he spends only one day at the exposi-
| tion, let him carefully study these forage
crops, get q list of such as he wants to
use, and he will be ten times repaid for
the expense of the trip and for the time
he may think he is losing from his farm.

0conee and Anderson Roads.

Supervisor Vandiver some weeks ago
received letter written by two citizens
of Fair Play, Oconee county, stating that
the public road fI ON Fair Play to Pull
lens Ferry in Anderson county had been
put in good condition by the Oconee
commissioners as far as the Anderson
line, that the road in Anderson county
was in bad condition, and asking that it
be looked after at once.
Now Supervisor Vandiver is jealous of
the roads in Anderson county. He talks
about roads in the daytime and dreams
about roads at night. That is why
Anderson county has such good roads.
He is determined that no other county
shall have better roads than Anderson.
He was worried when he got the letter
from the Oconee people and the very
first chance he got he went up 10 see
about it. He went through Fork town
ship and got Mr.. w. w. Cole to 20 with
him in his buggy. They drove over to
Fair Play and started down the road to
the ferry. The road was rough when
they left Fair Play and the further they
went the rougher it got. Before they

he would get out and walk, that it would
be wrong to make a horse pull two men
over such a road. A little further on
Major Vandiver had to get out also, as
the horse simply could not pull the
loaded vehicle over the ravines and gull
leys and rocks that made up the road i.
One of the gentlemen led the horse and
the other got behind the buggy and
showed, and finally after slow and tor
turous journey they reached the Ander-
son line.
There the road got better right imme-
diately and the two gentlemen got back
the ferry. Supervisor Vandiver is not
ashamed of the Pullen's Ferry road now.
He says he will keep it in good condi-
tion, but the next time he inspects it he
will start in on the Anderson side and go
to the Oconee line and stop. He wouldn' t
take that drive-or walk, rather-from
the line to Fair Play for good big con-

ANDERSON BOY FROM PHILIPPINES.
Re Tells OF Tho crue!ties Practced on the
hatlses by American Troops.

Mr.. Adam Loskoskie, an Ander-
son boy who has been serving in
Uncle Sans army, in the Philip
pines, has been. spending week OF
80 with relatives in or near the city.
He left yesterday for South Dakota,
where he will locate.
Mr.. Loskoskie is son of Mr.,
Frank Loskoskie, thrifty German
who lives several miles below the
city. He enlisted in Company G,
First South Carolina Regiment, in
the Spanish war, and after the vol
unteers were mustered out he en-
listed in the regular army. He was
assigned to the 10th Infantry and
went with that regiment to the Phil
ippines./ He remained in the archi-
pelago for three years and saw active
service on several different islands.
MIR. Loskoskie fully corroborates
the stories that have been printed in
the newspapers about the cruelties
practiced upon the natives by the
American troops. Some of the
atrocities the soldiers have been
guilty of are, he says, almost beyond
believing. He saw the noted "water
cure" administered numbers of times,
and on one occasion he saw batch
of fifteen natives taken out and
hanged because they would not give
certain information regarding the
insurgents which they were supposed
to possess.
"Why did the soldiers do these
things ?" he was asked.
"It wasn't our wish to do So" was
the quick reply, "but we had to obey
the orders given us by our officers" :"
Mr.. Loskoskie said that the orders
given by the officers were often very
distasteful to the enlisted men in
carrying out these cruel,ies, and that
there was much dissatisfaction. AS
to the natives themselves, he said,
they are an inferior race of people,
but he does not think they are so
treacherous and cruel as they have
been represented. The warfare in
the Philippines has degensrated into
the guerilla, bushwhacking kind on
both sides. The different islands
are populated by different tribes,
having customs and languages differ
ent from the others.
In Mr.. Loskoskie's company were
several young men from South
Dakota. Mr.. Loskoskie formed quite
a friendship for them, and as their
terms of enlistment expired about
the same time they persuaded him
to go to their home aud locate.
Mr.. Loskoskie is known to Ander-
son people as truthful and upright
young man, and his corroboration of
the newspaper reports of the cruel
ties in the Philippines will be
accepted. His friends here will re-
gret that he has decided not to stay
in Anderson, but they will wish for
him every good fortune in his new
home.-Anderson Mail, May 7th.

"Come, Aunt Fanny, we'll carry
her into my chamber and do the
best we can until the physician ar
rives."
Her was soon placed comfortably
upon lounge and old Aunt Fanny
and Mrs. Edrones were doctoring
her as best they could. Ere long DR..
Elkins arrived and pronounced Her
very i'll, and said all of this would
have been avoided had he been sum-
moned Immediately after the accident
occurred, but as the case had been
neglected 80 long, he feared it would
be difficult to give relief, though he
would try his medical skill and do
all in his power to restore her to
health.
After several hours of difficult
labor on the part of the physician,
Mrs. Edrones and Aunt Fanny, Her
slowly opened her eyes and gazed
about her, until they rested upon
Arnold, who stood n the doorway !;
then whispered softly:
"Arnold, tell me how l came to be
here ? l thought we we're on the
tower"
"Hush, darling, you are ill and it
is necessary for you to remain quiet
until you become stronger. Go to
sleep, and, when you are we'll, you
shall hear all about it," replied Mrs.
Edrones, as she placed a motherly
kiss upon the child's forehead.
Her obediently closed her eyes
and was soon lost in peaceful repose.
She was quite i'll for some time after
this days adventure, but bore her
suffering patiently. Every day she
inquired of DR.. Elkins when he
thought she would be able to resume
her school duties. Her was fond of
her books, therefore became studi-
GUS girl. She was missed greatly
while sick. 1t seemed as though al
most every ray of sunshine had de-
parted from "Sunny Side," and
sadness >reigned in the hearts of the
entire household. She won the love
of all around her and filled that
place which had remained vacant
since the death of Alice.
Mrs. Edrones desired Arnold to
attend school during Iler's illness,
but as neither of the children would
consent to this they were allowed to
have their own way. When Her
began to improve she wished Arnold
to sit by her bed constantly and read
to her. She was also delighted to
have him bring her her meals, for
they seemed better when taken from
the hands of Arnold.
After long illness Her at length
began to improve gradually, until
she became strong enough to enjoy
walking or riding, and finally was
able to resume her studies.
Soon after her recovery a sadness
filled her youthful heart. 1t was the
death of her faithful pet, Fido. He
was sick for several days, and she
cared for him as well as any little
nurse could, but with all her efforts
to restore him to health, she failed.
She and Arnold buried him, in a
wooden box, beneath the apple tree
in the garden. They covered his
grave with flowers, and dampened it
with tears. They had neat little

CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER III.
ooNH, ILER, dear sister, wake
W up" cried poor, excited
Arnold as he brushed the curls from
her brow and caressed her gently.
Her did not answer his calls or hear
his weeping, but remained quite still,
with her head resting upon his lap
as he was stationed upon the ground,
beneath the shade of widespread
ing oak. None could be more de-
voted than Her and Arnold were
but this was the innocent love of
childhood, that affection which one
would expect to observe between
brother and sister, for they seemed
as such.
Arnold attempted to restore her
to consciousness, but, alas |! in vain.
His warm breath fell upon her
cheeks as he bent above her. He
finally became frightened at her long
stiffness and thought of screaming
for assistance, but upon further medi-
tation decided it wiser to remain
silent for awhile and do all in his
power to relieve her, for he realized
that she was his charge; and then
what would his mother say to him
for climbing the ladder? She would
scold and perhaps chastise him.
"Iler, Her." he again moaned, edo
wake up" His tears fell thick and
fast upon her brow. At length a
deep sigh was audible to him and he
was relieved to observe that she was
yet alive.
Suddenly new thought sprang
into his mind. He would carry her
to Aunt Fanny, who, in his opinion,
was an excellent nurse 4; but the next
question appearing for solution was,
how he would manage to get her to
the kitchen without assistance, for,
though quite small, she was little
too heavy for him to carry. "Oh, I
know" he finally thought "I'll
hitch Fido and Rover to my express
wagon and they can pull with my
assistance. They will make an ex-
cellent team" Apparently the idea
pleased him, for he Immediately tied
his faithful pets to the small vehicle
and placed Her in it. He pushed
while the dogs served as horses, and
they reached the kitchen safely.
AT the sound of his voice old
Aunt Fanny appeared in the door
way, but stood still in astonishment
at the sight she beheld. ola! Mas
ter Arnold, what's the matterp Is
little mistress dead?'
"No, only tainted; don't tell
mama. l came for your assistance
in restoring her to consciousness,''
replied Arnold, as a sad expression
settled upon his countenance. He
poured forth the entire story into
the ears of the negress.
"I must 60 and tell mistress, or
she'll never forgive Old Fanny, for
that child sure is hurt" And she
ran in search of the lady as rapidly
as possible. When she returned,
accompanied by Mrs. Edrones, Arnold
was on his knees besido the form of
Her, endeavoring to restore her to
consciousness. Unshed tears were
in his eyes. )
Mrs. Edrones had heard the story
from Aunt Fanny and would have
scolded the boy had she not observed
his grief.
"Mama," he said, his voice tremb.
ling with fear, "do you think sister
will soon be well ? l regret climb
ing the ladder, but did not think of
it terminating thus"
"Hush, darling! I hope Her will
soon he all right but you must not
talk, for she is quite ill. Tell Jim to
go for DR.. Elkins at once" she con-
tinued, turning to young ncgress
