Folk NOW Holds the speeoh Record.


From the st. Louis Chronicle.
When Circuit Attorney Joseph W.
Folk reached his Office Friday after a
weeks campaigning in the State be
was greeted by a number Of his ad-
mirers. But he did not delay long
with them and ten minutes after re-
moving his hat be was immersed in
work connected with his Office. This
took him the most Of the day, but in
the afternoon he was ready to leave
for Fayette, Howard county, where
be makes a speech Saturday in the
interest Of his candidacy for Cover
nor.
81 can make a man hear me five
blocks away now" he remarked with
smile.
Mr.. Folk made another record in
Pike county Thursday. Between A
and 8 o'clock he made three speeches
and travelled to three TOWNS, He
spoke in the open street to an i'm
mense crowd at Bowling Green at 4
O'Clock and then taking buggy, drove
IL miles to Louisiana, The trip was
made in SO minutes and broke the
record for Pike county. At Louisiana
he addressed big crowd and after
light repast drove to Clarksville,
where at O'Clock he spoke to another
big crowd of Pike county citizens.
~ am more pleased with my recep-
tion everywhere than can tell you,"
he said by way of expressing his con-
fidence in the outcome Of the race.
Anent Harry B. Hawes and his
statement that he was running against
an imaginary man, Mr.. Folk pre-
ferred to be silent He did not care
to indulge in any personalities. But
remark about the matter caused
him to declare:
.Well, it was not so much an imag-
mary man that Hawes was running
against as Imagination on his part

forefathers fought and no matter
what a mans politics may be he is

HYoMErs SUCCESS IN MEXICO

Woodbridge & Purdy Will Re

No other medicine or treatment for
catarrh has ever achieved such quick
and remarkable success 10 Mexico as
Hyomei. The fact that Woodbridge s.
Purdy when they first introduced Hyo-
mel sold il under positive guarantee
to refund the money ia case it did not
cure contributed largely to its success
ful introduction. A guarantee from a
firm like Woodbridge & Purdy gave
people confidence at the start.
If it had not possessed unusual
merit, an offer like this would have
resulted in an enormous loss. But
curing as it did, Hyomei soon gained
an enyiable reputation and made
many friends who recommend 1t far
and near. It's success here in. Mexico
has been remarkable, and Woodbridge
& Purdy are still selling 1t on their

ADVICE TO GIRL THAT FLIRTs.

By Beatrice Fairfax in the Chicago American.
wish could make the girl that
elrts ln the street see herself as others
see her.
When she makes eyes at a man he,
of course, returns the compliment ~
with interest. 1t does not mean that
he thinks her pretty or attractive; it
simply means that he thinks; "If this
girl does not respect herself why
should | respect her?n
Men always take a girl at her own
estimate. Ii she is self-respecting,
dignifed and ladylike they will treat
her accordingly. II she is forward,
bold looking and ready to meet
familiarity half way they will meet
her on her own ground. They will be
free and easy and hail-fellow-well-met
with her, but they won't care to intro
duce her TO their sisters, and they will
never fall In love with her.
Girls often complain that they can't
walk down the street withou6 being
spoken to by some man. AS rule, 1t
is entirely girls own fault II she is
spoken to or insulted in any way. II
she walks straight ahead, looking and
behaving as o modest, lady-like girl
should, she will be comparatively free
from annoyance.
Men know perfectly we'll the girls
to whom they may speak, and the girl
who is minding her own business may
walk unmolested from one end OF the
city to the other.
There is no quality more charming
In girl than modesty. isher panop-
ly against all evil.
Ever since the world began woman
has occupied the envlable position OF
being the one sought after. Man has
placed her on pedestal and has been
content to worship her and work for
her aud WOO her.
Just as long as she keeps her woman
illness She will keep her place on the
pedestal When she Of her own free
will climbs down, making herself easy
Of conquest and therefore less desir-
able, she Is in danger of losing her
place on the pedestal for good and all.
The girl that tIirts and has men
following her and speaking TO her is
laboring under the mistaken idea that
she is receiving attention. Well, so
she is, but it is attention Of a most OBJ
jectionable sort and is dangerously
