RriIn Yelled IA DiadeIn.

A white chip hat has high coronet-
shaped hrim, with the edge cut in deep
curves and bent carefully to stand up
right like q diadem. This is yelled with
a soft covering Of fine batiste heavily
embroidered with floral border deep
enough to reach from the upper edge,
nearly to the bottom. Below this the
batiste is softly gathered into shape.
The embroidery stands out well and
resembles a crown Of flowers or gar
land around the face, when it is exc
cuted in rose pink, pale blue or lnanYe.
A small loop-bow Of black velvet rib
bon is set low down on the left side,
almost directly resting on the hair OF
the wearer.

"You are not going to give it back to

"Why, yes" she returned, and felt
compelled to take it In my hand. For
a few moments I stood gazing at it, a

into her face.

REcoMPENSE.

There must be far away somewhere
A realm in which glad angels dwell,
Not merely that we may have there
Sublime rewards for doing well,
Not just that good men may at last
Receive the favor of the Lord.
For they are blest who do their best,
Sweet virtue is its own reward.
Yet there must be. far off, some place
In which the mother who has died
Ere gazing on her baby's face
May with ner mother love abide:
For her thus robbed of JOY there must
Be future endless glory where,
Her waiting past, God shall at last,
Consign her dear one to her care.
There must be some fair place beyond
The silent grave. where he may rise
Who never has beheld the fond
Look God put in his mothers eyes:
For him thus robbed how can there be
4 recompense save there above
Where. in her arms clasped joyously,
He may at last learn all her love?

WEST BRANCH, Mich, April 11th.-
Many thanks for the sample OF Doan's
Kidney Pills. We had tried many
remedies with little benefit but found
Doan's act promptly, and hit the case,
which was an unusual desire to urinate
had to get up five and six times Of
a night. I think Diabetes was well
under way, the feet and ankles
swelled. There was an intense pain in
the back, the heat of which would
feel like putting ones hand up to a
lamp chimney. I have used the free
trial and two full boxes of Doan's Pills
with the satisfaction of feeling that I
am cured. They are the remedy par
excellence.-B. F. BALLARD.

Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From

TO the woman of ancient Israel not to
become a mother was regarded as the
greatest of earthly calamities. TO
become a mother-more especially the
mother of strong, healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman of
the good old Bible days. Even now, when
maternity is not esteemed as of yore, the
mother of healthy children is an object
of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her
neighbors. As compared with ancient
peoples, the average American woman has
low appreciation of motherhood. There
are, however, a great many exceptions to
this statement
The accompanying letters from grateful
women who have been made strong,
healthy and happy mothers need no added
words of ours to make them convincing,
Catarrh had weakened and impaired their
entire systems. Peruna made them sound

stock Perished.

The Times Recorder was the only
paper in the state containing yesterday
morning an account of the Richland
fire the night before, and every detail
of the disaster was fully covered in the
telephone message received at mid
night. It was a bad blaze for the
pIucky little city.
At one time it was feared that the
entire town was endangered.
II was then that Americus was called
upon for assistance, the call meeting
with quick response, but at later mo-
ment the request for aid was with
drawn.
In the meantime Chief Macarthur
had an excellent force at the Seaboard
depot and was in the act of loading a
fire steamer aboard special train
standing ready to take the fire fighters
to Richland. 1t was then that the sec.
ond message came countermanding
the request for assistance.
Tue fire, as stated yesterday by the
Times Recorder, consumed Drew
stable and contents. The fire had its
origin there, it is said.
Sixteen horses and muleP, large
number of hogs and perhaps other
vestock persisted. Nearly all the
buggies and other vehicles were burn.

Greatest Advance of the Week Game
Yesterday and Holders of Cotton
Are Highly PIeased-Now Look For
IL Cents Cotton.

Eleven cents was the even pr.ce of
cotton in Amerlcus yesterday. Like.a
rocket the market went higher and
higher still, every report received at
intervals of fifteen minutes showing q
substantial gain until at the close the
futures market stood at the highest
points reached since the opening of
the season in September. January
touched 1880 while May contracts
were firm at 1888. AmerIcus buyers
and Sellers marveled at the rapid
strides made and bought and sold &C.
cordingly. Fine cotton easily brought
eleven cents here Yesterday, and not
few holders were inclined to let go
their stocks at this fancy figure.
Americas dealers believe there will be
no other great recessions now, and
that the market is now piling up to-
wards still higher prices. Twelve
cents, even, may be reached before
Christmas, though the "bear element
will put forth herculean efforts to keep
the market down until they can scoop
the actual cotton. But holders here
are not fools, and whoever gets their
spot cotton now will pay its full value.
Not few nervy ones here, believing
that the market would go higher,
backed their judgment on Cultures
and, altogether, are several thousand
dollars ahead of the game and are still
skinning the bears.
