Two Old Heroes.

I was recently asked about Dan
Creedon and what he was doing. The
last 1 heard of the once famous ring
character he was in Sydney, Aus
tralia, where he has many friends.
His hair has turned snowy white
and he spends most of his time tell
ing what a wonderful country Ameri-
ca is and how well the fighters are
treated here. Dan evidently forgets
many of the unpleasant things that
happened when on Uncle Sans
shores. I saw him get trimmed in a
Frisco barroom on one occasion, and
on another he was made the laughing
stock of a party of backwoodsmen
who took advantage of his intoxicated
condition.
The name of Creedon calls to mind
another almost immortal ring name
Jimmy Barron. Jim at the present
time Is a breeder OF the finest kenne
of bulldogs in Australia. He has
promised to send me one, which
will place in my kennel and probably
show on the bench.

Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
of J.. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate in Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order Of
Railway Conductors, and unions of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such a reduc-
ton would work against the prosperi-
ty of the state and lead to a reduc-
ton in the number, Of railroad en-
ployes as well as of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that a reduction as proposed
would result in fewer trains and poor
service.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?

themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
