DELVES IN DIVORCES.
By LAWRENCE PoRcHER HExT.

IT wisht," said Pat, they'd pass a
law, an put it into force,
So that no wan that's married could
git freedom be divorce"
I'm glad We talk that way" Said Mack,
Il feel as though yer wife
Has done tn Dist she can to make
yet satisfied wit life.
But, whin we talk about divorce as
though it was a sin,
1t makes me think We do not know tn
fix some folks are in,
An whin We speak as though divorce
was nawthin' but a crime,
Me thoughts are turned to wedlock
that is real but not sublime.
How would we fell if ivry day yer wife
got full av booze?
An 'spose she beat tn childher, whin
they begged FIR clothes an shoes;
Phwat would We do wit SIGH a wife
ye'd lik'ly take tn course
That human reason would suggest
ye'd sue her FIR divorce.
But that's a case that's rare. in
dade, FIR sildom in this life,
Can man find action FIR divorce based
on a rum-soaked wife,
But, on tn other han, yen find that
wimmin, good an true,
Are often tied to bloated brutes-phwat
should SIGH wimmin do?
Should they be made to bear TIL
shame, tn curses an abuse?
Should they be bound be bonds from
which no hand can cut thin loose?
Look to tn future whin, perhaps, yer
darter'll be a wife
How would We feel to have her DOOM
ed to SIGH an awful life?
"Tll bring tn QUESTION nearer home:
l know We love yer wife;
She's been yer frind in times av need,
av trouble an av strife,
But, 'spose We journeyed home wan
night an she had left tn place.
An in her stead We found note to
tell av her disgrace?
Eye cannot think av SIGH a thing;
we know no other man
Has come betwiXt yersilf an wife,
since first yer love began,
But ivry man is not so blest, mr.
ivry wife so true,
AN in misfortchune, SIGH as this,
phwat do We think ye'd do?
But, let us look at wedlock in TIL
way all people should
wit aims both pure an good;
1t is a partnership av souls, but, tell
me, don't We think
That nanny times an agel weds a
foolish missin'-lin
AN so, tits called a game av chance;
we draw wit open eyes,
But whin tn price is paid we find
we've drawed a BOBBY prize,
An so, tn courts av human law have
found that in divorce
Some souls may find a sweet release
balm FIR much remorse."
WELL" said O'Flynn, me faiths agin'
all laws that grant divorce,
An, as FIR me- I'll niver stoop to pa
tronize that course"
II know it's not yer faith" said Mack;
mo more is it me own.
But still, tn laws were not all made
FIR jist us two, alone"

"ST0NEWALL" JACK
SON MEDALS.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning
Them.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning
Orlando, Fla, Nov. 13.
Editor of the Morning News: 1
noted in a recent number of your
paper an article headed Some I'm
written History of Dixie" stating that
certain "StonewalT' Jackson medals
were on sale at the u. D. C. booth.
That said medals were struck in Paris
in 1863, by order of Col. C. A. L. La
mar, while he was in said city, but
that the ultimate object for which the
medals were made had never been
known, owing to the death of Col.
Lamar in battle, etc. Perhaps can
throw little light on this matter.
Col. st. George Orputt of New York
presented me with one of these medals
in 1891 or 2, while l was on visit to
that city. Col. Orputt gave me the
following history of the medal which
account was subsequently confirmed
to me by Col. Tom Green, who, 1t
seems, had originally given the medal
to Col. Orputt. The account is as
follows: After the death of stone
of his old brigade raised a purse to
have this medal struck in silver for the
officers, and in other metal for the
men, as a memento to be worn next
the hearts of the comrades and fol-
lowers of the gallantest leader of his
time.
Col Lamar was intrusted with the
duty of having the work done in Paris
He returned to his duty as a soldier,
and gave his gallant life for The
Cause"
The medals reached Wilmington, n.
c., after Col. Lamar's death, and there
being no one to dispose of them as
intended, they were never distribu-
ted among the members of the old
brigade, but were lost sight of entire
ly. l trust this letter may throw some
light on this interesting subject, and
may be the means of carrying out the
original design for which the medals
were intendent, to wit, the destribu
ton of these souvenirs among the gall
liant survivors of the brave old brigade.

Dandruff Caused by a Germ.
A New Discovery That Kills the
Germ and Prevents Badness.

Pretty nearly all the hair prepara-
tions for dandruff have some merit in
allaying itching of the scalp, and in be-
ing a fairly good dressing for the hair,
but there is only one that recognizes
what causes dandruff. falling hair and
badness, and that destroys the cause.
Herpicide. This germ eats its way into
the scalp. It digs up the scalp into lit
tie white scales. Unless 1t is destroyed
there's no permanent stopping of fall
ing hair and cure of dandruff and bald
ness. Newbro's Herpicide kills the
germ. Destroy the cause, you remove
the effect" Sold by leading druggists.

The Value Of Charcoal.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestineS and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sWeetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty of it is. that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use. but on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: I advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tents suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
" benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

There was big howl all over the

by the patrons of the water system
that. they had no water in their
pipes. Many thought that their
pipes were frozen. Others were fearful

others still thought that their indi-
vidual pipes were frozen. 1t devel-
oped little later, when the water
came on with very slight pressure
that. the water in the reservoir was
so low that it would not fill the pipes.
Superintendent Mckinney ascribes as
a reason for the condition of affairs
that the water users have been letting
their water run at night. to prevent
freezing and that over half million
gallons of water went to waste last
night. Pumping was kept up until
eleven O'Clock. which would have
furnished sufficient water. had not the
wastage taken place. Superintendent
Mckinney calls on the water user
today not to use the water at night.
The temperature has been rising
slowly each morning This morning
it was four degrees below zero and 1t
is hoped that it will soon go perma-

Trust Encroachment on Pies.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The announcement that New York is led on trust-made pies will come AS shock to a public which has grown cal. lous from the revelations of the Shin building combination. The country has seen one necessity after another fall into the control of the big corporations. But most persons had cherished the nope that somehow pie would escape. It is possible to view the manufacture. or window glass by trust with a fair degree of equanimity. If combine secures control of all the sugar re- f1neries there is comfort in reflecting on the tendency of the age"-provided prices are not raised. But trust-made, pie is in itself monstrosity.
 It would not help matters if the com bine should cut the prices of it's prod uct in two, instead of following the customary practive of raising them. In the case of pie any trust encroach- ment is matter rather of sentiment than of the pocketbook. The output of a great factory must necessarily be uniform, whereas Individuality is ore of the essential characteristics of an artistic pie. There is all the difference between the pastry of an accomplished cook-the sort termed by gourmets a cordon bleu-and the output of a man. ufactory that there is between the mu- sic of hand organ and the playing of an artist. The pies baked in the kitchen of well conducted restaurant come to have a certain distinctive fav- or which is lost when one factory al hn fno nP But for the production of the finest pastry home cooking is essential
 There is disposition nowadays to deride the oldfashioned cooks who took "about enough four and about enough butter and about enough sugar" for whatever they were compromising. It is insisted that the modern cook book is severely definite in all it's rec. ipes. Some people would even prefer to have the proper oven temperature | given and then to use a chemical ther- mometer. But while all this definite ness is necessary for the young house. wife, it would be worse than wasted on an experienced cook who knows how to depart from the accepted formulas | just enough to give an individual flavor to her dishes. It is this individuality that distinguishes homemade pies and imparts to them their attractiveness. The factory product in the nature of the case can never be more than a poor imitation. That is why the dis. closure of trust encroachment in New York will cause anxiety throughout the country. The nation can swallow trust killed beef, but it draws the line at trust-made pies.
