SIOO Reward. 800

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only catarrh cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda
tion OF the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO much
faith IN it's curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list OF
testimonials. Address i. j. Cheney q

WAS HER CHARITY TREE
Southern lady's Beautiful Way Of
HELPING Good Cause.


Helping Good Cause.
The oldest charity l ever saw in a
small way" said the Colonel, "was in
the quiet university town of Athens,
Ca, last summer. l was walking with
a friend through the principal street.
when we passed house where nice
looking white-haired woman was sit
ting on the porch. Close to the front
gate was a large cumquot, or Japan
csc orange tree, which was laden with
ripe, delicious fruit. My companion
expressed desire for some, and I
approached the woman on the stoop,
offering to pay for what she would
permit us to take.
You may pluck as many as you
please, SIR she said, and if you care
to give me something I shall be pleas
ed. All the fruit that grows on that
tree goes to charity
II gathered pocketful of cumquots
and gave fifty cents, which was re-
ceived most gratefully. I learned that
the woman was the widow of a Con-
federate officer, who had nothing but
her homestead and who took in en-
broidery to live. The proceeds from
that cumquot tree. which amounted
to $40 some years, was impartially
divided among local charities in
which she was interested Anybody
in Athens would as soon have stolen
flowers from the graves in the GENE
terry as steal fruit from that charity
tree''

Pick Of the Jobs.

There are some very desirable jobs
in the world if man could deliberate
ly take his pick. Being president of
a steel trust doesn't look so bad to
one who has never tried it, 1t would
be quite a snap to be car of Russia if
that ruler could just ship his subjects
out Of the country and import lot
of tame ones.
Some people might be able to stand
it for few days if they could be SUI
perintendent of the big canal, while
for others life would take on an I'M
vented sweetness if they could be the
iceman.
All of these jobs have their good
points, and any one who likes them
may take one of them provided he can
get it, but the small boy has a diff
ferent idea. The job that takes his eye
is that of the man who paints up the
scores for the ball game. With that
job in his mitt he would tell the man
to go to who came around seriously
asking if life was worth living

She was born in Florida.

young man, and Tilted him for an Eng

Hshman had younger brother who
fell IN love with the Florida girl-we'n
call her Julia, because that is not her
name. The elder brother, finding out
now matters stood, withdrew, where
upon Julia, instead of marrying the
younger brother, ran away with a sea-
faring man. The seafaring man had
unpleasant habits, so Julia divorced
him.
A year later she decided to remarry
him, but before she could carry out
her intention he was lost at sea. With
in six months she married an elderly
man, and left his as soon as she dis
covered that he had a wife and family
out in Iowa. She then engaged herself
to young man who died of fever on
the day set for the wedding. After
that she married Dane, divorced him,
married a Richmond mon ord co,,
rated from him after two years. All
this, and she is not yet 80. One OF her
intimate friends told me all about it,
and when she had finished telling me
she sighed sympathetically.
"Poor Julia!" she said. ''She always
wanted to marry and nave a home, but
fate was against her. She never found
anybody she could really love, and
goodness knows, she's tried"

The "i-kneW-Him-When" Club.


George AIDE, the playwright, who is
said to be making more than 100000
a year, met friend in the Fifth Ave-

been on trip West. 1t was in Chi
cago as newspaper reporter that AIDE
began to write. The other man asked
casually whether he enjoyed the trip.
Eyes, said AIDE, "about as we'll as
could be expected. Met a lot of the
fellows fused to know on the Chicago
papers. They were very nice to me.

make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
: The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-te nths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of lob Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
II cannot express the wonderful relief I
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink
long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss Of appetite. I could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.
II had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. I was advised to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
s. am a well woman; my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say look ten years
younger"
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of it's virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other women.

Appetite.

An appetite is monstrous thing,
A dragon with poison tongue.
That seems such: a harmless little toy
In the days when it is young,
But Rugged to the breast it wakes great
And fangs it's lover or soon or late.
An appetite is frightful thing,
A serpent with Shiny folds,
That grows with every growing year
Till in grasp of steel it holds
The victim who struggles, but all in vain.
For the power of habit is seldom slain.
An appetite is a monstHous thing
That wreaks it's will on fools,
A playful thing that tempts and wooes,
That wheedles awhile. then rules,
And finally tightens its folds and, 10?
