A MORNING MONOLOCUE.

"No. I don't want anything this morning. I want goods sent as or dered. I ordered BROWNS QUICK FIRE CHARCOAL, and you brought me some damp, dusty charcoal that was almost impossible to kindle; my husband was compelled to go without his breakfast, and our house was up- set all morning. You tell your boss that grocer is known by the quality of the goods he sells. We pay cash for our goods and our patronage and money are welcome at any store. Your boss may consider himself bright in trying to impose poor stuff, at little more profit, on his too trusting GUS toners, but that conduct spells fail ure."

NEGRO BRUTE
HANGED TODAY

ROANOKE, Va, March ls.-The negro.
Henry Williams, whose capture and trial
were attended by many sensational feat
ures, including the calling out of Is mill
tia companies to prevent mob violence, was
hanged today.
On January 80 last Williams assaulted
Mrs George j. Shields and her 3-year-old
daughter with Ratchet, razor and pocket
knife and left them for dead. After
hacking and fracturing the skulls of his
victims with a Ratchet, Williams cut Mrs
Shields throat from ear to ear with a
razor and locked her in clothes closet
He escaped to the coal fields, where he
was captured few days later. He con
fessed to the crime and was rushed across
the state of Virginia on a special train
to Richmond. He was brought here for
trial on a special train, under escort of
more than 1000 soldiers, and heavy guard
was maintained about the court house
during the trial.

ST. PETERSBURG, March ls-From
Lake Baikal come reports that Russian
soldiers are crossing in great numbers on
the ice in comfortable manner, marching
distance of &c miles in one day.
They are glad of the opportunity to get
out of the trains and walk.
In two weeks the ice-breakers will prob
ably be at work forcing a channel through
the ice.
Lake Baikal is now frozen over, and its
40-mile width is driven across in sleighs,
when the temporary railway is not work
ing. Branches of trees stuck in the ice
show the way, and every eight miles is a
hating place where food may be obtained.
The feeding of the soldier while being
FASTENED to the seat of war can hardly
be described as particularly good In the
morning he gets tea and black bread; in
the middle of the day he has 'borch," a
vegetable soup with piece of meat float
ing in each portion; and in the evening he
gets more tea and more black bread.
In clothing there is little difference be
tween summer and winter garb except that
the soldier has the addition of a heavy
overcoat, loose-ftting, which serves as ;
blanket at night.

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Mfddlesex, N. Y. July 25.-(Special.)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs.
Clawson tells the story of her cure as
follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time The
first year l could not do as much as a
baby could do; then rallied little bit
and then a relapse. Then a year ago
the govt set in my hands and feet. /
suffered untold agony and in August,
1908, when my husband died / could
not ride to the grave.
Il only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks l could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
| dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me-
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

A Beautiful Custom.

In the mountains of Tyrol, it is the
custom Of the women and children to
come out when it is bedtime, and sing.
Their husbands, fathers, and brothers
answer them from the hills on their
return home. On the shores of the
Adriatic such custom prevails. There,
the wives Of the fishermen come down
about sunset, and sing a melody. At
ter singing the first StanZa, they listen
awhile for an answering melody from
off the water, and continue to sing and
listen till the well known voices come
borne on the waters, telling that the
loved one is almost home. How sweet
to the weary fishermen, as the shad-
ows gather around him, must be the
songs of the loved ones at home that
sing to cheer him, and how they must
strengthen and tighten the links that
bind together these dwellers by the
sea!

TO SAVE CHILDREN.
Physical Culture as a Means to Ward
Off Tuberculosis.

Physical Culture as Means TO w ara
Off tuberculosis.
An athletic club, which fixes it's dues
at the extortionate figure of one cent a
week, suggests an unusual departure
in the world Of clubs. Moreover, for
many other reasons, the Children's
Athletic Club of Philadelphia, COM
posed entirely Of the children Of the
poor, organized to fight by physical
training the ravages of tuberculosis,
marks an important innovation in the
charitable work of that city. Mrs.
Florence L. Williams, the founder Of
the club, has certain definite objects
to accomplish with the sixty little pu-
pills under her charge. That she is
able not merely to bring muscle and
health in place Of weakness and even
disease through a careful system of
physical culture but also to develop a
trick team capable of performing aero
batic feats of no little difficulty, proves
the efficacy of her methods.
For her clientele Mrs. Williams de-
pCllNlS ClltllCly uPOI tAlC CIllulCA VI tAO
crowded quarters of the city, where
poor food and unhealthy surroundings
render child life unwholesome and
make physical development impossi
BILE. From the children of these quar-
ters of the city Mrs. Williams has or
ganized her classes, the membership
of which has grown from three to six
ty. But even here the selection of
members is made from the weaker and
the more anaemic; from the children
who already show signs of the inva-
sion of the "great white plague
whose tiny arms and hollow chests in
dicate lack Of vitality.
With such subjects it is natural that
at the outset the exercises of the class
-es should be of the mildest sort-fve
minute drills with the lightest of
dumbells interspersed with frequent
rests. Special breathing exercises are
prescribed for the new members, and
they are expected to continue this ex-
ercise at home. One of these exercises
consists in the usual exhaling and in
haling. but the method of accomplish
ing it is novel. The children are ranged
in rows, with their hands on their
hips, and each child puts quill tooth
pick in its mouth. Then. at a word Of
command, they inhale deeply through
the nostrils and then exhale slowly
through the toothpick, this device
making the exhalation slow and avoid
ing all chance of strain.
The fire drill is another important
