The Rule Must Work Both Ways

The Monroe doctrine says very plainly that we will not permit injustice to be done the South American republics. The converse of that proposition is, or should be, true and the United States should sup port it as heartily.

 A Family Medicine.
 L. o. Summersett. editor of ''The Mes- senger." Red Bank, W. J., writes The Pe- runa Medicine Go. as follows:
 "Gentlemen-"I certainly feel grateful to you for putting such a great catarrh remedy on the market. I believe that more than half the people with whom come in contact have catarrh in some form and I don't see why more of them don't use Peruna and get well.
 Myself and family were all sick a few days with stomach trouble and used Peruna with very satisfactory results and at one-third the cost it would have been had we called in a physician who could rot possibly have prescribed better rem edy than Pecuna."
 L. o. sUMMERsETT. "we Will Not Do Without Peruna. Mir. James A. Stalls. otego, Ill. writes: q can say that Peruna has cured my four-year-old boy Of the tonsflitis, and that of the worst stage. He had 1t last winter. and I took him to three of the best doctors and got no relief. When took him to the fourth his tonsils were so inhamed that blood was running out of them. The doctor said he could reduce them, so I used his medicine for four or five weeks and the boy got but very little better. There was a week or two that we thought he would choke to death iu spite of all we could do.
 "In looking over your almanac I saw Peruna recommended for throat trouble so I wrote to Dr. Hartman in regard tc my boys throat. He recommended Pe- runa, and in less than two months his throat was well. I got one bottle of Pc. runa and 1t cured him sound and we'll We will not do without it and will use it for all threat and lung trouble.F'

SOUTHERN EDUCATION BOARD.
The Summer School of the South One of the Results of Its Movement

One of the first results of the movement for educational advancement in the South with which the Southern Education Board is connected Is the establishment of the Summer School of the South at the Uni versity of Tennessee, Knoxville
 Through the generosity of some New York friends of education in the South and the liberality of the University of Tennessee and the people of Knoxville and Knox County. the managers of this school are able to offer large number of courses. to employ a strong faculty of the ablest men and women in the coun- try. and to make tuition practically free to all Southern teachers. The result will be a marked improvement In the charac- ter of work done in many schools. No teacher who can spare the small amount of money necessary to pay travelling ex- penses and board should fail to attend. The first session opens June 19 and closes July 31. A rate of one fare for the round trip has been obtained from the railroads.

WOODED BY A WOMAN.
Mrs. George Green Says Their Court
 ship Was Short

Petersburg Wao Special to New York
 Mrs. Green. whose husband. just dead, was a woman, told today the story of her wooing
 After courtship extending over a few months" she said. George Green and I. then Mrs. Mary Riddles, were married in Erie, Pa,. thirty-five years cording to the Catholic faith. A few days after the marriage my husband told me he was not 2 man. and implored me not to divulge the fact but live with him and let each be a help to the other.
 'I was almost overcome with aston ishment but promised my husband that his wish should be granted. and We from that time have lived together as brother and sister. Not soul on earth knew the truth till yesterday"
 Mrs. Green speaks of the memory of her woman spouse as tenderly as only a woman can speak of a loved one. Standing by the bier she placed her hand upon his head and said:
 He was the noblest soul that ever lived. He has worked hard through his life and has been all to me. No man can say he ever wronged him He was Christian and I believe his soul is now with Christ"
 Green always associated with men and engaged in pursuits and diversions com mon to men. He smoked but seldom chewed tobacco but was not addicted to drink. Mrs Green said her husband had always worn male attire. The members of his family living here with him did not know the truth nor do they now be- lieve what is told them about him.
 The funeral of George Green took place from St Josephs Catholic Church in this body was buried in the Catholic Ceme tery in Blandford. Green willed to his wife his cotton plantation near Raleigh, N. C.
