sponsible for the color and richness Of the blood, which determines both health and beauty. The right amount of iron fortifies her against the maladies peculiar to her sex, and insures that beauty or form and feature which is her right.
 The preparation of iron, which, after a half-century's test, to-day stands un- matched, is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, for the reason that 1t is the most potent of ali known remedies in making new, rich blood. It clears the complexion, gives sparkle to the eye, and rounds but the form.
 Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 12, 1901.

Beauty is Blood Quality

 The true cause of the premature marks of age and loss of female beauty is that the skin is fed with impure and impoverished blood.

attempts to steal unperceived around It's flank to Spottsylvania courthouse. between it and Richmond. When he reached there, he found that same 'ob- jective'' ready and willing to give him rousing reception. How he felt there and then, may be surmised from his en- treating message to Halleck, on May 10, to hurry forward to him "all the infan- try he could rake and scrape'' from ev- anywhere. Halleck did so; but the tale of Spottsylvania, with some variations, was much of the same tenor with the bloody story of the Wilderness.
 An intelligent northern critic of Grant as a Soldier uses, in substance these words: At the Wilderness Lee had just 52,626 men," Suppose the numbers of the two armies had been the same T? 1t is hardly to be imagined that Grant would have risked himself and his army against Lee and his army in the Wilder ness or elsewhere, with only man for man. He never did so, and what would have resulted in such a case, cannot be declared, as a matter of fact From what is known, however, if he had done so, 1t would surely have taken M. Le Goa, or some still kenner detective ten days thereafter to find within fifty miles, enough of Grant and his army to form a corporars guard, who were not dead, prisoners or fugitives from the battlefield.

~ NCE upon a Time there 1T M was a long-headed girl NJ who used to sit in her
 own Room on Rainy Afternoons and evolve Theories.
 Her principal Ambition in Life was to stand Ace High with all the Nice Men of her Set. She hoped in the course of Time to tease one away from the Drove and gallop him into the Corral.
 Now this Girl was so Foxy that at times she got in front of her self and blocked off her own Plays.
 Her Scheme for getting all of the Real Boys intoxifled with Love for her was to engage them in Conversation and find out what kind of Girl they liked. Then her Play was to be that kind.
 She had no Difficulty whatever in inducing her Men Friends to talk about the Opposite Sex. They were all keyed up on the Subject and full of Information.
 Just as a Feeler one Even ing she asked an eligible Char ley if he didn't think that the Woman of Today was too Ex- travagant
 That's just why so many of us shy at the Matrimonial Jump," he confided to her. There was a time when the Man who got $75 per Month and had about $200 planted could take a Chance at the Game. But now that measly Allowance wouldn't keep High Stopper supplied with Violets. The up-to-date Maudine isn't hap py unless she has a Gray-Squir- rel Coat, an Auto-Car, s11,000 worth of Twinklers and a 14-room Apartment. That's why these So- ciety Shawl-Holders keep on mak- ing Loge right and left but never come down to Cases"
 This was valuable Tip, so the crafty Maiden put it down in her little Notebook that she who would make a Hit must convince the Men that her Tastes were simple and inexpensive.
 Another one gave her learned Talk on the Frivolity and Two-by- Fourness of the typical Sera- phine.
 You cannot expect a Man to hand over his serious Affections to one of these Feather-Heads," he said, as he gazed thoughtful 1y at the Floor. Woman should be Mans Intellectual Helpmeet. Now and then a Man may have a Passing Fancy for Lizzie who talks Piffle and gets an attack of the Giggles every few Seconds, but when it comes to the grand Hook-Up he wants one who is there with the Gray Matter-one who can play up to his loftiest Ambitions and supply his Home

SOME PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS
 OF BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS
Continued from Sixteenth Pase)

fought almost wholly by infantry and with small arms, except along the roads that have been mentioned, there were very few places where artillery could be used to any effect. More, perhaps, than any other great modern battle, it tested the courage of the individual sol- dier; yet it may be confidently affirmed, that nowhere was there ever seen less skulking or flying to the rear. than by Lees men on that field.
 The losses of both armies on these two days were heavy. That of the confed- crates was 1000; of the federals on their own showing, from 1SOO0 to 10000.
 Grant had found, rather been found by his objective" Two days transac- tions had given him such a dislike for its company, that on the next he did not seek it at all, though he knew full we'll that a warm southern greeting awaited his coming, and he incontinent- ly left its neighborhood, without parting range, and made the second of many

Liquor Question the long-headed Girl made a solemn Resolve that she would never hit up anything stronger than Cherry Sundae.
 When she had her Notebook full of useful Directions, she found a Chance to try out her System. She was invited to a Swell Dinner Party at which all the Nice Men in Town were to be rounded up. She put on a simple White Gown and wore Rose in her Hair and just before starting, she locked all of her Slang Words in the Escritoire, whatever that may be.
 At the Dinner she sat next to a Bachelor who had Nothing But. She talked to him about the Panama Canal just to show him that she was no Piker.
 When he wanted her to take some of the Phizz Water she made an Awful Stand and seemed surprised that he should think that of her.
 This did not prevent him from splashing in. By the time the Birds came along he had accumu- lated very neat Brannigan and was paying a lot of Atten- tion to wonderful Piece of Work sitting opposite. She wore Red Costume that must have cost $7000 and although she was very gabby and called the Men by their First Names and invited all who were not Quitters to stand up for a Bumper, she was making fair Headway. In fact she seemed to have the punch with her.
 The Wise Girl figured that they were tolerating her out of Mere Politeness.
 Later on, in the Drawing Room, they continued to Tolerate her the best they knew how.
 The Girl with the Book of Rules played a sad little Opus on the Piano, after which the Steeple-Chaser in Red leaped on top of the Instrument and tore out Coon Stuff with eight men turning the Music for her.
 And these were the Eight who had told the Girl back in the Cor ner all about the Qualities in Wo- man that would help to attract Men.
 She went home thinking it over and the next time she started for a Dinner she added Dash of Red and a few Brilliants to the Costume and cut loose up to reasonable Limit.
 She got along first-rate, even though she was doing a lot of Things that none of the Men ap- prove, but somehow love to put up with.

TURKEY FOR THE PRESIDENT
The Westerly, R. l., Product Said to
 be the Finest in the Country.

be the Finest m me country From the New York Sun.
 The little town of Westerly, R. |. has a reputation peculiar to itself. The peo- pie around Westerly say that they can raise not only larger but finer favored turkeys than are fattened anywhere else in the United States. Rhode Island birds are not so eorpulent as many of those grown in other parts of the country but they have a delicious flavor which is be- lieved to be caused partly by the climate and partly by the way in witch they are fed
 The Rhode Islander does not try 70 stuf the bird merely to see how much it will weigh but with corn. feeds different kinds of herbs, as well as bread erumes and other cooked foods. If the bill Of fare is given in the right proportions when Thanksgiving time comes the tur key Is in condition to satisfy the most fastidious epicure.
 For number of years the pick of the focks around Westerly has been sent to the White House. and the President s chef usually prepares 1t for the Presi- dents Thanksgiving dinner in preference to the contributions from other parts or the country, although sometimes the ex- pressman will bring a dozen or score of turkeys to the executive mansion in the days just preceding Thanksgiving.
 Perhaps the strongest competitor which Westerly has is a town near Lancaster, Pa which also brides itself on turkeys some of which tip the scales at nearly forty pounds when killed. Last year, however, Pennsylvania came h second best. the President dining off Rhode Is land turkey, raised by Horace Voee, one of the. experts in the industry in New England MT. Vose hopes to come on The winner this year, as the bird which he sent is superior to the one sent last year.

 The house party which seems to have become fixed feature of American so- cial life, as 1t has been that of English social life for three centuries, has four ished exceedingly this autumn and early winter, and Thanksgiving, with it's fol- lowing days, was taken advantage of by the owners or occupants of almost all the larger houses in near Long Island, Stat en Island, in Westchester county, in near New Jersey, the upper shores of the Hud- son and Tuxedo to fill their homes with guests who have made merry since Wednesday last with golf riding, driv- ing and automobiling out doors and with card playing and feaSting indoors. Some New Workers went as far as Newport Burlington Vt. and even Wilmington, N C.. for Thanksgiving house parties. MT. and Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt took a num- Der of guests with them to Oakland Farm, on Newport Island, while others of the Vanderbilt family connection went to Shelburne Farms, Vermont, as the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Seward Webb MT. and Mrs George Gould gave a large house party at Georgian Court, Lake wood.
