Female Weakness is Pelvic

Always Half Sick are the Women

Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to pro-

catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand.

Across the Hills.


Across the hills and far beyond, where
daylight dies and yet again is born,
There lies a country wond'rous fair.
Beyond the purple rim Of mist that girds
the valley down below
There lies a land dreamed about. a
land I longed to know;
The stars stood sentinel at dusk and
beckoned,
Yet l dared not 60
Across these hills a wandering soul came
to a child and as It grew
1t sung a promise Of return.
Till the life's great hope became a chain
and the spirit knew but bitter pain.
For its tasks undone were letters of lead
and a weary life seemed all i'm vain,
For the master passion would not be stlll
Nor the soul at rest again.
1t was out Of bounds in realm unreal,
as a summer star in a silver sea
That countorfeits its light.
Unreal and hopeless and afar. Fate met
ed 1t out and gave 1t me
And bid me accept this lonely thing and
smile on life and be free
And light of heart and happy-aye--
For all eternity.
And l cried aloud in my hour of grief
for a comfort in my gloom
To brighten death away.
Across the hills stole a kindred soul from
the infinite long ago
And my dream came true at last in you
here in the afterglow.
And you led me away across the blue
Whittier / longed to go.

AYLVTl HACK BILL.

"The point is that the Aylett bill
violates the treaty rights of foreign.
ers, who are entitled to do business
in this country whether they know
the language or not. If it becomes
q law the courts will quickly dispose
of it; aud on that account there is
no use 10 passing it."-Advertiser.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-04-15

1t is admitted that Foreigners are
entitle to do business IN this country
whether they know the language
or not" But that general principle
does not interfere with nor affect
the right of States or Communities
to prescribe reasonable qualifications
for persons engaging in business
enterprises in which the public is
largely, directly aud unavoidably
interested. The public, to all prac-
tical ends, is partner with the
hackman In the hack business, aud
if the .hsckman does not kpow the
language of ths country the public
is as much sufferer as though the
hackman did not possess the ordi-
nary knowledge OF guiding horse
and turning corners.

The cruel ruler became incensed, and

concluded that IL was about time for
him to think Of getting away to a place
Of safety. For some time he watched
his master and when he became con.

the gods to make a sacrifice Of 100
sturdy young men and $50 beautiful

AT about this time the civi war broke
