succoRs A WOUNDED ANT
Lord Aveling Convinced That the
Tiny Insect Is Really Pos
sessed of Reason.

Lord Eveling, better known as Sir
John Lubbock, the famous scientist,
writes: "In one of my nests was an
ant which had come into the world
without antennae. Never having pre-
viously met with such a case, l
watched her with great interest, but
she never appeared 10 leave the nest.
At length one day | found her wander
ing about in an ain-less sort of man
ner, apparently not knowing her way
at all. After a while she fell in with
some ants of another species, who di-
rectly attacked her. | at once set my
self to separate them, but, whether
owing to the wounds she had received
from her enemies OF to my rough
though well-meant handling or to
both, she was evidently much wound
ed, and lay helplesslv on the ground.
After some time another ant from the
same nest came by. She examined the
poor sufferer carefully, then picked
her up and carried her away into the

Miss afeMsU0noId

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The III may be easily
traced to SOM arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrh9a.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedyfor all these
symptoms is Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
81 think that a woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
I cannot help from telling mine for the sake
Of other suffering women.
"For a long time / suffered untold agony
with a uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me a physical wreck, and NJ one
thought l would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine it is"
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's vegeta-
BILE Compound at once, and write to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special
advice it is free and always helpful.

Indiana Man Hired Opera House and

A street a wherein Representative
Fred Lands, of Indiana, was a passen-

a wagon loaded with baled hay. One
bale, loosely fastened, fell to the ground,

meeting had been advertised, he re-

'Dan't come. Opera house full of baled
hay. Weather too cold for outdoor meet

the Clay City opera house full of baled

Perkins and the Luncheon.

Senator Perkins, of California, never
lunches with Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia, although they are the best
of friends. Perkins refuses all over
lures because he wants to keep up a
joke. Some time ago Elkins invited
Perkins to luncheon, and quite an
elaborate spread was ordered. In fact,
West Virginia urged California to more
than ordinary extravaganza in the
matter of food and other accessories.
When the time came for settlement
Elkins went through his pockets, but
failed to turn up either pocketbook or
money.
Perkins" he said, you see how I'm
fixed. You'll have to pay for this
luncheon"
1t was only a short time ~ that
Elkins asked Perkins to luncheon, and
the latter said:
no, no; l went to luncheon with
you once. You can't catch me that
way again."-Buffalo Times.

anyone who had witnessed the scene

A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know if Mr.. Post
would keep still if they would call
off the boycott on Postum and Grape
Nuts.
This is the reply: "The labor trust
has seen fit to try to ruin our business
because we would not join its criminal
conspiracy. We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor union
plan in that we do not force people to
strike, picket, boycott, assault, blow
up property or commit murder.
We do not pay thugs $40 to break in
the ribs of any man who tries to sup
port his family Nor $50 for an eye
knocked out.
We try to show our plain, honest re-
gard for sturdy and independent work.
men by paying the highest wages in
the state.
We have a steady, u%nvarying respect
for the l%aw-ablding peaceable union
man and a most earnest desire to see
him gain power enough to purge the
unions of their criminal practices that
have brought down upon them the
righteous denunciation of a long-suf-
fering and outraged public, but we will
not fawn, truckle, bend the knee, wear
the hated collar of white slavery, the
union label, nor prostitute our Ameri-
can citizenship under orders" Of any
labor trust.
You offer to remove the restriction
on our business and with union gold
choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern denunciation Of the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom of our
brothers.
You would gag us with a silver bar
and muffle the appeal to the American
people to harken to tine cries for bread
of the little children whose faithful ia
theirs were beaten to death while striv-
ing to earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed in
throwing our people out of work and
driving us from business, but you can
not wrench from us that priceless jewel
our fathers fought for and which every
true son guards with his life. There
fore, speaking for our work people and
ourselves the infamous offer Is de-
clined."

Identification

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are a few Labor Unions conduct
ed on peaceful lines, and in proportion
as they are worthy they have won
esteem, for we, as a people, are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that we seek the good of all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
abiding unions show ~undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS a public speaker lately
said: "The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery %eloquence
Of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying On the slopes of Bunker Hill
was not nor outrageous than the con-
uiIioAo thoG SiooOu ohoP "o"iu ioiSS
upon the community. These men burst
into rebellion when the king did but
touch their pockets Imagine if you
can their indignant protest had he
| sought to prohibit or restrict their oc-
cupation or determine the conditions
under which they should carr their
livelihood" and to assault, beat and
murder them, blow up their houses and
poison their food if they did not SUBJ
init.
The public should also remember
that good true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
honest, %lawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are denounced,
but when you hear a union man "hol-
Ter" because the facts are made public,
he has branded himself as either II
of the lawbreakers or a sympathizer,
and therefore with the mind of the
l~awbreaker, and likely to become n
when opportunity offers. That is one
reason employers decline to hire such
men.
