TRIBUTES TO WIVES
WORDS OF TENDERNESS UTTERED
BY GREAT MEN.

WOHDS Of TENDERNESS VI EnEO
BY GREAT MEN.
The Homage That Tom Hood Paid to
the Partner of His sorrows and
Joys-Jean Paul Richter's Unstint-
ed Praise of Caroline Mayer.
Few great men have paid more en-
thusiastic tributes to their wives than
Tom Hood, and probably few wives
have better deserved such homage, says
the Chicago Chronicle. "You will
think" he wrote to her in one of his
letters, that 1 am more foolish than
any boy lover, and l plead guilty, for
never was wooer SO young of heart
and so STEPPED in love as 1, but it is
love sanctified and strengthened by
long years of experience. May God
ever bless my darling, the sweetest,
most helpful angel who ever stopped
to bless a manr' Has there ever, we
wonder, lived q wife to whom a more
delicate and beautiful tribute was paid
than those verses of which the burden
is, 81 love thee, I love thee; tits all that
can say?'
81 want thee much" Nathaniel Haw-
thorne wrote to his wife many years
after his long patience had won for
him the flower that was lent from
heaven to show the possibilities of the
human SOUL" '"Thou art the only per-
son in the world that ever was neces-
sary to me, and now am only myself
when thou art within my reach. Thou
art an unspeakably beloved woman"
Sophia Hawthorne was little better
than a chronic invalid, and it may be
that this physical weakness woke all
the deep chiyalry and tenderness of the
man. And he reaped rich reward for
an almost unrivaled devotion in the
'atmosphere of love and happiness and
inspiration with which his delicate
wife always surrounded him.
The welded life of Wordsworth with
his cousin, "the phantom of delight"
was a poem more exquisitely beautiful
than any his pen ever wrote. Mrs.
Wordsworth was never fair to look
upon, but she had that priceless and
rarer beauty of soul which made her
life "a center of sweetness" to all

days, none but God and myself can
ever KNOW and it would be difficult
to find a more touching and beautiful
picture in the gallery of great mems
lives than that of Wordsworth and his

sWher the butter won't
come p@-- a penny in the
churn," is, an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

MANY. EMIGRANTS.
SOUTH DAKOTA TERRITORY RAP.
IDLY FILLING UP WITH
SETTLERS.
Northwestern and Milwaukee Railroad
Systems Planning to Build Extern
sions Across the Territory West of
the Missouri River.

Residents of Ottumwa and of Wapel-
10 county who have property interests
in South Dakota west Of the Missouri
river will be interested in an article
written at Pierre,S.D., and published
in the Tribune at Sioux City. Accord
ing to this correspondent there Is a
steady stream of settlers going into
this territory and practically all the
available land has been filed upon and
there is reported to be an assurance
that two of the great systems Of rail-
roads, the Northwestern and the Mil
waukee are planning to extend their
tracks across the territory west Of the
river to the Black Hills.
The article is as follows:
with constant stream of settlers
pouring into Lyman and Stanley coun-
ties and promises Of railroad extern
sions, the country west Of the big
Muddy"is rapidly being converted from
cattle country to a farming district.
OF course the stockmen have put up a
strenuous fight to keep the land for
grazing places only, and have used
every argument to keep settlers fom
breaking ground, and until recently
have succeeded in checking the spor-
adic invasions of farmers from the
east. They claimed and with justice
too, that the land was fit only for graz
ing purposes and that attempts at farm
ing would result only in failure OF
crops and then the soil once broken
was ruined for grazing, for the nutri.
tious buffalo grass upon which the
cattle thrive will not grow again after
the prairie has been once broken. How,
ever, conditions have changed. 1t has
been proved that crops can be raised
west of the river and the irresistible
| flood of settlers into the country has
forced the cattle men westward.

would rather withered flower and
bedew it with tear Of sadness and
drop 1t upon his tomb. l would fold
up his memory In the mantle Of sad
ness and leave it where an enlighten-
ed sorrow mourns DER the doubly
fallen. But in turning to these graves
my heart feels thrill of attachment
that no words can utter. No subter-
fuge or augmentation can tear my
heart loose from the conviction that
my country lives because these have
died. Husbandmen and mechanic
have labored, ministers and teachers
have prayed and taught. Statesmen
have toiled. Genius has invented and
philanthropists have sacrificed and
suffered. but these have died. Their
heroism Is imperishable and will not
be lost amid the waves of connection
that are righting up the wrongs of
this erring world. Why does the val
or of the old Roman legions outlive
the reign Of the Caesars? Why does
the glory of Sparta survive the proud
government of Greece? All! 1t was be-
cause they struck for the right, in the
defense of struggling liberty. And the
valor of our dead heroes Is destined to
wider range Of influence that will be
felt at the trembling throne of every
despot on the earth. A power that will
not cease until every immortal mind
Of man shall be unfettered; nor can it
cease until the last wave of human in
fiuence shall beat itself out on the
coming millennium and the freedom of
the skies shall be the freedom of
earth!
While you strew these flowers then
think Of the many who sleep in coffin
less graves, where the cold waves roll,
or the Magnolia blooms. or the live
oak, draped with moss, signs to the
lone winds! Drop flowers for them
too!
And as we turn now to join in this
beautiful service. my heart feels like
singing:
ooh genius of Liberty, Goddess fair;
Watch DER thy chosen son
Sleeping here;
Guard thou the sepulchre of each
brave,
Spread thy celestial wings
Ger his grave.
Guard, while his ashes sweetly rest,
And his name endureth
Ever best"

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH.
You Are Certain to Lose If You At
tempt the Use of Force and
Violence

You cannot force your stomach to
do work that it is unable and unwil-
ling to do. 1t has been tried time and
time again with always the same re-
suit. The stomach is a good and
faithful servant; but when pushed
beyond the limit it rebels. Some
stomachS will stand much more abuse
than others, but every stomach has
it's limit and when that limit is
reached, ii is a very dangerous and
unwise proceeding to attempt to force
it into doing further work. The sem
sible and reasonable course is TO en-
ploy q substitute to carry on the work
Of digestion and give the stomach an
opportunity to recuperate ana regain
its lost strength.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only perfect substitute to take up and
carry on the work of tired. worn-out
stOmachS. They are natural and easy
in their work and cause no disturb
ance in the digestive organs. They
contain all of the essential elements
that make up the gastric juice and
other digestive fluids and will digest
any food that a strong, healthy stom-
ach will and do it in the same time
and in the same way. They work in
dependently of surrounding conditions
and the fact that the stomach is weak
or diseased does not influence them
work. They will digest food just as
well m a glass jar or bottle as they
will in a stomach. You can see that
for yourself by putting one of them
into a jar with square meal and
some water to enable it to work.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets by thus
relieving the stomach of it's work en-
ables that organ to rest and recuper-
ate and regain it's health and strength.
The process is perfectly natural and
plain. Nature will heal the stomach,
just as she heals a wound or a broken
limb, if she is not interfered with and
is permitted to do her work in her
own way. All interference is prevent
ed by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by druggists everywhere at so
cents a box and If you are afflicted
with dyspepsia, one box will make you
feel fifty times better. You will forget
you have stomach and rejoice in the
forgetfulness. No druggist will be so
short sighted as to try to get along
without Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for they are so popular and are so
well known for the good they have
done and the happiness they have
caused that any druggist caught with
out them would lose the confidence of
his customers and be regarded as be-
low the standard. His business would
suffer as a result and his patrons
would go to other stores and buy their
other drugs there as well as their
StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets.
