When the story of Chinese atrocities
filled the papers and shocked the world,
it was the women who drew the pity and
sympathy of all. Doubtless many wife
who heard her husbands words of SYM
pathy for these women thought with a
pang, of the blindness of men to the suf-
fering under their very eyes. It is true.
The suffering of women in China was
severe but short. Many a wife suffers
for years with daily agony of pain, her
nerves shattered, her strength almost
gone, and never hears word of SYM
pathy.
To women such as these DIR. Pierce's

tunity of a new life of health and happi-

RYRD's WIFE WANTS DIVORCE.
Makes Some Sensational Charges ln
Her Petition.

Atlanta, Dec. 27.-MIs, Carrie L.
Byrd, wife of Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral Phil G.. Byrd, of the state OF
Georgia, to whom she was married on
Sept. 25 last, has filed suit for total
divorce from her husband in the SUI
perior court of DeKalb county, in
which she makes some very sensa-
tional charges.
Mrs. Byrd was Miss Carrie Louise
Montgomery, and her wedding to Col
Onel Byrd just three months ago, was
an occasion of much interest. The
ceremony, was quite an impressive
one, and interest in the occasion was
heightened by the presence in uniform
of large number of Colonel Byrd's
military friends.
The charges made by Mrs Byrd are
in general, habitual intoxication by the
use of drugs, cruel treatment and un-
faithfulness. Mrs. Byrd asks that on
these grounds she be granted a total
divorce from her husband and that
her maiden name, Carrie Louise Mont.
gomery, be restored to her.
In amplifying the charges the petit
tion, which was filed for Mrs. Byrd
by Attorney Albert H. Cox, makes
charges which are quite sensational.
The petition says:
The cruel treatment complained OF
and charged herein commenced on
the next day after said marriage, and
has been continuous Except with in.
tervals Of kindness, coupled with
promises to desist, broken as often
as made) until it became uncomfortable,
and petitioner separated herself from
defendant as hereinafter related"
The affair has caused quite a sen,
sation not only in Atlanta, but through.
out the entire state, as the parties are
well known, especially Colonel Byrd.

A little after O'clock an explosion
was heard and several shots were
fired around the public square. Most
of the citizens who heard the noise
supposed it was caused by some boys
out on a lark celebrating Christmas,
and paid no attention to it.
Oscar Busch, a hardware dealer liv.
ing across the street, realized that the
bank was being robbed, but when he
went to the window to look out he
was covered by revolver. He then
kept quiet. Others In the vicinity of
the bank also were kept quiet by a
display of revolvers. About so shots
were fred to terrorize venturesome
persons. Notwithstanding contrary
reports, Mr.. Busch says that but two
men left the bank after the robbery.
The wreck was complete, the vault
door and the safe being completely de,
moliEhed, as was the whole front and
interior of the bank. BY 9 o'clock the
work was finished and the men then
left town by walking to the east.

bank, was very sick at his home, and
he was not told of the robbery. A.

DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malaral
influences. l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured 1t, and those who
we're sick were put this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every of the one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
