asks herself when she reads of the cures
of womanly diseases by the use OF DR..
pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Why shouldn't II cure her?
Is II a complicated case? Thousands
Of such cases have been cured by Fa-
vorite Prescription" Is it a condition
which local doctors have declared in
durable? Among the hundreds of thou
sands of sick women cured by the use of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription there
are a great many who were pronounced
incurahle by local doctors. Wonders
have been worked by "Favorite Pre-
scription" in the cure of irregularity,
weakening drains, inflammation, ulCera-
ton and female weakness. Il always
helps. 1t almost always cures.

a facetious guide, who delivers the
lectures for the many enterprises that
make money taking parties Of tour
lists around Washington, has incurred
the displeasure of President Roose-
welt. Referring to the White House
he said: "There ladies and gentle
men, is the White House which
Thomas jefferson built, formerly call
ed the executive mansion. Presi-
dent Roosevelt insisted that the
right name was White House, and
it has been called so until recently,
when it gained the name of Booker
r. Washington Cafe" President
Roosevelt heard this and sent word to
the proprietor of the enterprise that
the Booker T. Washington reference
was highly distasteful to him and he
desired it cut out.

A Blow in the Dark.

The noon mail brought CASTOR no answer
At night be felt sure it would come.
When the wagon dashed up TO the Post
Office that night It was fifteen minutes late.
He was walking up and down the street
on the opposite pavement along the square.
keeping under the shadows of the trees. He
turned quickly. crossed the street. and stood
inside the office, listening with n feeling Of
strange abstraction to the tramp of the
Postnasters feet back and forth as he dis
tributed the mail.
AT last he drew himself up. walked TO his
box and opened It. His heart Ieaped! a
big square-cut envelope lay in it addressed
to him in her own beautiful hand! He
snatched it out and hurried to his office. The
moment he touched it his heart sank. 1t
was light and thin, evidently there was but
a single sheet of paper with it. He tore it
open and stared at 1t with parted lips and
half-seeing eyes. The first word struck his
soul with deadly chill This was what he
read:
My Dear Mr.. CASTOR: l write in obe-
d!ence TO the wishes OF my parents to say
our engagement must end and our cores
pondence cease. | can not explain TO you
the reasons for this. 1 have acquieseed in
their judgment. that 1t is best.

lanta, where 1 join a friend. We so to
Savannah. and thence by steamer to Boston,
where I shall visit Helen for month.
Sincerely,
"SALLIE WORTH"
For lons Nine he looked at the letter
in stupor OF arlazement. That her father
could coerce her hand into writing such a
brutal commonplace note was revelation
of his power OF which he had never
dreamed. And then his anger began to
rise. His fighting blood from hundreds of
years of soldier ancestors made his nerves
tingle at this challenge.
He took up the letter and read Il again.
curiously studying each word. He opened
the folded sheet hoping 10 find some de-
tached message. There was nothing inside
But he noticed on the other side of the
shee- a lot of indentures as though made by
the end of a needle. He turned it back and
studied these dots under different letters
in the words made by the needle points. He
spelled
"My Darling-Unto the Uttermost"
And then he covered the note with kisses.
