Pale Weak Women.

Why are there so many semi-inyalid
women? Simply because their eases
are neglected or not understood. NO
member of the human family is SO
neglected as woman, and 30 per
cent OF unmarried, Is per cent. OF the
married women are suffering from
some form of female trouble. How
many Of you have been treated for
dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart,
neuralgia, chronic cough, constipation,
burning urine, back ache, etc, With
only temporary relief?
In 80 per cent. Of such cases the
trouble is With the womb and its ap-
pendages, and the other organs are
affected through the reflex nervous
system.
Do not be discouraged, no matter
how bad your case. Every case OF
us kind can he permanently cured.
Why go on dragging out a miserable
existence when health Gall there is to
this lifeo is within Your reach?
Take Care of the Eyes.

Glasses correctly fitted enable old
eyes to see as we'll as ever. Take no
chances with cheap ones.

Storm Leaves Death in Its Wake
at GreeHbrieF,

Mrs. Barnum was instantly killed
by falling tree during a heavy storm
that passed over Greenbrier and
vicinity last Friday shortly afternoon.
Mrs. Barnum was the wife Of a
logger and lived in a tent, where she
was, without warning, crushed to
death by q heavy tree which stood
near. Their daughter was also struck
and seriously injured about the
head at the same time.
Mrs. Barnum was horribly man.
gled, almost every bone III her body
having been broken.
Another family near there had a
narrow escape as a tree fell on one
end of the house they occupied and
mashed in one end of it; but for
tunately the family was in the other
part of the building and escaped.
1t has been reported here that q
man was struck bv a limb or tree
at BrOwnwoOd and had one arm and
one leg broken, but we did not learn
whether this was caused by the same
storm that passed over Greenbriel
or not.
Much damage to timber and othe,
property is reported from the soutl
part of the county.

As You Make Ii.

To the preacher l1fe's a sermon.
To the Joker it's a jest;
To the miser life is money,
To the loafer life is rest.
To the lawyer life's trial,
To the poet lifc's a song;
To the doctor I1fe's a patient
That needs treatment right along
To the soldier life's a battle,
To the teacher life's a school;
Life's ''good thing" to the CRATER,
It's a failure to the fool.
To the man upon the engine
Lies a long and heavy grade;
It's a gamble to the gambler,
To the merchant life is trade.
Life's a picture to the artist,
To the rascal life's a fraud;
Life perhaps is but q burden
To the man beneath the hod.
Life is lovely to the lover,
To the player life's play;
Life may be load of trouble
To the man upon the dray.
Life is but long vacation
To the man who loves his work;
Life's an everlasting effort
To shun duty to the shirk.
To the heaven blest romancer
Life's a story ever new;
Life is what we try to make it
Brother, what is life to you?

In Memory of Bessie Travis.

On January II, 1882, Bessie Lee
Wood was born near Gravel Hill,
Bollnger county, Mo, and there
she passed her youthful years and
hloomcd into womanhood.
She was gentle, kind and inno-
cent, and was dearly loved by all
her associates.
About five years ago she, with
the rest Of the family, moved to
the vicinity of Whitewater, Mo.
Three years ago sh6 was married
to Samuel Travis and they resided
with or near her parents until last
fall when the family went to
Oklahoma.
In April her mother and a part
of the family returned on q visit.
Soon sickness set in and finally
Bessie was stricken down with a
complication of troubles too severe
for her frail body to withstand, so
that on the beautiful sunny morn
ing, May 2, her bright eyes were
closed by the cold hand of death.
She had suffered severely for two
weeks, but with patience and with
out complaint, and never feared the
end which came as she had predicted
but which we thought could not
come so soon to one so young and
bright.
But. alas! we must all say good
by. This is the first broken link IN
our family chain and while it is
natural for us to mourn for Ou1
loved ones as they pass away, We
know that ere long we all must
answer when the roll is called. We
can only hope that the family circle
will again be completed i'll a clmt
where sickness and sorrow can moi
enter; where death and parting are
feared no more.
Bessie leaves her image in tht
person of her little 2-year-old girl
| She passed away in the presence
of her husband, parents and the
family except three brothers who
were in Oklahoma at the time o
her death, two Of whom came il
time to attend the funeral whicI
took place at the Strodcrville GENE
terry and was preached by Rev. Nc
Donald Of Whitewater.

Death of Fred. z. YOunf.

Frederick Reaves Yount was born in
Bollinger county, Mo-, August ., 1851;
he died at his residence, Point Pheasant,
Mo-, Thursday, June =, 1904, OF Bright's
disease, leaving six children to mourn a
kind and indulgent fathers death, and
the sorrowful realization of thus being
both fatherless and motherless, the
mother having preceded the father to
the grave three years ago. The bereft
children are Mrs. DR.. Lee Williams,
Mrs Jas. Conran, Iona, Fannie, Willie
Evans and Seibert.
For three months past his condition
told the tale of a rapid decline from a
once healthy, strong and energetic man
until finally the fatal malady ended his
life with peaceful passing in the pres
ence of his family and physicians, Doc
tors Lee Williams and O'Bannon, who
had done all in their power to keep the
lamp of life burning.
Frederick Yount was the second OF
. six sons OF john S. and Anna Yount,
and was descendant of the BollingeT
named. A most charitable and public
spirited man whose integrity OF. charac-
ter made him a leading spirit in the in
dustrial, political. and social organiza-
tions of his county and Southeast
Missouri; bright Mason and at the
time of his death president OF the New
Madrid County Telephone Company.
A short time after his return from
service on the Confedeate side of the
war he was united in marriage to Miss
Julia E. Cruchen, Cape Girardeau, Mo.
and they went to reside at Burfordvillt
where Mr.. YoUnt engaged in the grocery
business. He remained at Burfordville
only few years and moved to Poin
Pleasant in 1868. There he had lived
since and accumulated property suffi-
cient to make him one Of New Madrid
county's wealthiest citizens, and there
both he and his wife gave up and left, a

To the Editor of THE MARBLE HILL PRESS
For the benefit of your patrons and
will issue free series OF most remark
able pictures OF the Worlds Universal
Exposition.
The first picture of the serles will be
issued with the Sunday Post-Dispatch
on May %.
These pictures are not colored photo
graphs, but are reproductions in cOlors
of original oil paintings by great artists,
the most striking pictures of the Fair
that have been produced. They portray
accuracy in all OF the original colors the
artists wonderful conception of what
visitors will actually see in ST. Louis.
| Magnificent buildings, Iagoons, cas-
| cades, beautifully shaded pathways, ca
| pable of reproduction only by the artists
brush, in every detail is amazingly rep
resented.
The artist has pictured the great mass
of sightseers so carefully that one can
not fail to realize at a glance what a
cosmopolitan center the St. Louis Fair
will be. So wonderfully lifelike are
these reproductions one almost feels
they are living pictures.
These pictures are ready to frame.
Those who DO not want to frame them
will surely keep them as souvenirs Of the
greatest Fair that has been or ever will
be attempted. This is really rare op-
portunity and it willnot be fully realized
until the first Of the series has been re-
ceived by the Post-Dispateh readers.
Then there will be a scramble. Many
will be disappointed, for it will be i'm
possible to fill back orders.
1t is important, therefore, that your
patrons give their order to the local
newsdealer as early as possible. This
will avoid disappointment.
Yours fraternally,
