WHY WOMEN SHOULD CoNFIDE
IN A MAN.


It is much easier for woman to con-
fide in the average man than in the
average woman. She knows that the
man will respect her condolences and
keep them to himself. He is strong,
has more experience of the world and
can help the woman who needs advice.
Without a perfect medical understand
ing there can be no helpful advice,
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons. 1t requires a thorough med
ical education to appreciate and under
stand the Womanly organism. When
woman has ills and pains that she can
not bear - when life seems dark for
every woman, she should confide her
troubles to a physician Of standing in
the community, or one who has a ma
tional reputation. Certainly it would
not be the part of wisdom to confide
in an ignorant person without medical
education simply because she was
q aCOmdn. There is every reason why
she should write to some great special
list, one who has made the diseases of
women a speciality for a third of a cen
tury, like DIR. R. V. Pierce, founder of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, of Buffalo, n. Y. All correspond
ence is held sacredly confidential, and
he gives his advice free and without
charge.

WHY REFoROlER FAILED.
Because He Recognized Only -Four
Men Playing Poker.

Some years ago, while a resident
of Athens, Ohio, I became involved in
a quiet little game in a hotel room"
said DR.. W. z. Webb the other morn
ing 1.-THE ante was modest, and no
body was going broke, but I suppose
under a Puritanical construction of
the statutes we were gambling.
Around the board we're a congress-
man, a Judge of one OF the lower
courts and two others of equal prom
inence and reputation.
Running at large in Athens was an
energetic refOrmer named Coleman.
He got wind Of our little debauch, and
climbed up on a stepladder to OBJ
serve over the transOm-
He heard a learned discussion re-
garding antes blinds, straights and
chips and saw the stakes He recog-
nized four of US, but the fifth man was
sitting with his back to the door d.
rectly under the transom-
Coleman told his narrowing dis
covery to Prosecuting Attorney Jew
EFT and gave him our names. He said
he was ready and willing to give his
evidence to the grand jury. Jewett
thanked him, and warned him that
when the jury convened he would be
summoned.
"Of course we got wind of the affair
and uneasily waited for what would
come of it. Court came on, and true
to his promise Coleman was before
the jury with his evidence
'Jewett, as the custom was, did the
interrogating for the benefit of that
terrible body. He asked Coleman
minutely touching his knowledge OF
violation of the liquor laws He in
quired If he had seen any infractiOns
of the Sunday ordinances He sought
from the witness his information con-
corning several recent homicides in
the county. Coleman was asked if any
carrying of concealed weapons or
church disturbances had come under
his observation
Then he was abruptly excused At
recess he hunted up Jewett-
." Why the devil didn't you ask me
about that poker game up in ~
hotel2' he demanded, Indignantly.
"'Oh, yes said JeWett, I remena-
Der now. 1 believe you said you rec
ognized all of them fellers, except one
who sat by the door,
" Certainly I did, and am willing to
go before any court and swear to it
" Yes responded Jewett, dryly.

NEW GULF HARBOR.
Frisco Said to Be After an Entrance
to Pascagoula.

Mobile, Ala, June 3.-There is a strong
belief that has taken hold of the minds
of many we'll posted railroad men that the
Frisco people have in some way angad
to secure control of the Mobile. Jackson
and Kansas City railroad, and that it will
be operated as a through system from
Memphis to Mobile over the Kansas City.
Memphis and Birmingham railroad and
the line from New Albany north will be
maintained as a local feeder. According
to this view the visit of the Frisco people
to Pasca gOula. simply contemplated the
extension of a line from some point on
the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
railroad to Pascagoula, in order to reap
the future advantages of the harbOr and
port that must sooner or later be built at
that place

A NOVEL EXHIBIT.
A Display Which the Rain Did Not
Mar.

The display of the National Biscuit
company in the Merchants parade
Thursday afternoon deserves more than
passing notice. It was the first in the
first division The horses and wagon
were decorated in purple and roses. The
team was hitched tandem and the
wagon contained twenty-seven cans of
cakes The horses were led by boys
in Uneeda Biscuit uniforms and while
the rain was a drawback to the parade
in general it was particularly appro-
pirate fer Uneeda Biscuit. Each of
the boys carried a box of the we'll known
crackers in the waterproof package,
calling to mind the we'll known pic
ture of the boy in the advertisements.
A second wagon followed from which
free samples were distributed. The
display was in charge of G. G. Craw-
ford, the local representative of the
company.

SINGLE AND MARRIED WOMEN

very often find that it is repugnant to
their feelings to consult their family
physician. In such case they can
put perfect confidence in DR.. Pierce,
who has made such a success in the
treatment of WOman's diseases, for he
will give the very best advice possible
and without cost. To grow beautiful,
healthy and happy should be the desire
OF every woman. 1t Is then possible to
hold a husband and make home happy
and bring contentment to it. In most
cases DR.. R. V. Pierce's FavOrite Pre-
scription will fit the needs and put the
body in healthy condition.
So sure of it is the Worlds Dispen-
sary Medical Association, OF Buffalo,
n. Y, proprietOrs of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, that they offer
$500 REWARD
for women who cannot be cured of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro-
lapsus, or Falling of Womb. All they
ask is a fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.
DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription re-
stores weak and sick women to sound
health, by curing the local womanly
diseases which are generally RESPONSE
bic for the failure of the general health.
A WOman's entire being is centered in
her wOmanly nature. When the deli
cate womanly organism is attacked by
disease; when there is irregularity or a
disagreeable drain; when Inflammation
burns and ulcers gnaw, the general
health will reflect the progress of dis
ease, in increasing weakness, nervous
ness, backache, headache, loss Of appe-
tite and sleeplessness.
"a long time ago / suffered very
