Old MOSh has had another severe
attack In the region covered by tue
lower part OF his vest. He sets up a
dismal howl thaG can be heard several
miles up the gulch over the fear,
when appears to be solely confined to
himself. that the affairs of the school
board as now made up vii be dom
mated or controlled by "Croalism,
knappenism and Battertonlsm Just
what he attempts TO mean by this, is
not clear to anyone, not even the
owners OF the organ Of which he is
tho mental crank twlstcr. When, be
fore the late election, at which his
favorites on the board, headed 10y
Randolph. Houde and Others went
down to an ignominious defeat 1T
the hands OF the exasperated Tan
payers and citizens OF our city, sew
eral Of the present teachers were in
formed that they would not be elect
ed to their positions for the ensuing
year unless they supported the boxer
ticket, Mosh did not find time to de
bounce the damnable outrage, and 10y
his silence, at least, approved OF sucl
low down, dirty work. The v,ter,
have spoken IN 10 uncertain language
on this matter. and the old teacher:
have all been re-engaged for the en-
suing year, regardless or their polltI
cal views, thus showing that the new
board has not been influenced by pc
llLical considerations IN the least
When the election showed that th'
boxer favorites were showed under b,
about one hundred and fifty votes, i
looked as though the people wanted
change, and they have it over TIN
protests and objections Of old Mosl
and his friends. If he has any Th
members that were then elected cal
we'll afford to smile at The frequen
attacks made upon them by a coteri
OF defeated candidates., who have
been thoroughly discredited aud rele
gated to a we'll deserved poIitica

ONLY JIM
By
MRS. ELSIE d. GALE

SnH, Aunt Ellen, is it really you?
VJWell, this is surprise, and you
don't know how glad l am to see you,"
exclaimed Gertrude, as she opened the
door. DO come right in. You must ex-
cuse the way | look she continued,
apologetcally, as she glanced down at
her torn wrapper; I've been house
cleaning this afternoon, and thought
wouldn't dress for supper, as long as
thered be only Jim. Well come right
upstairs, and you can rest while l make
myself respectable"
The elder lady followed her upstairs
to pretty, daintily furnished room.
There" exclaimed the young wife
as she set down her guests umbrella
and valise, this is my guest room.
How do you like it?"
Her aunt surveyed the room ap-
provingly.
VERY nice, indeed" was her COM
ment. "The pink paper is lovely, and
those ruffied curtains are as pretty as
can be. That's just what like, nice
easy chair and footstool, and I'm so
tired I'll try 1t right away"
IL have number of my wedding pres
ents in here" continued the younger
woman. "Jim's grandmother gave me
the hemstitched sheets and pillow cases
and shams. That Madonna over the bed
/ guess you remember. Lucy Wheeler
gave 1t to me. Those etchings were pres
ents, too. Uncle John gave me the rock
er. Jim bought the chiffonier last
spring, and made the scarf and the pink
pin-cushion. His sister embroidered
that apple blossom pillow for me; she
does such lovely work. Now I'll go
and dress, and you rest till supper time,
for there's an hour yet
An hour later they sat at the supper
table, at which Gertrude, in a pretty
sprigged lawn dress, presided. The
beefsteak was done to a turn, the bis
cults were delicately Drowned the cut
glass dish of peaches was flanked by a
pitcher of rich cream. In the center of
the table stood low bowl of pink and
white sweet peas, harmonizing with the
delicate china
Jim, as he took his place at the head of
the table, glanced at his wife with
mingled surprise and appreciation.
How pretty you look in that dress,
Gertie, with your hair all fluffy. l al
ways liked that blue dress, and what a
fine supper you've gotten for us, hasn't
she, Aunt Ellen?"
His wife flushed with pleasure at the
unwonted praise
Il thought would get out all my nice
china and best tablecloth in honor of
auntie," she explained, "and l found
Just few blossoms on the sweet peas
for a centerpiece. l haven't had this
china out for a good while. You see
there's only Jim and the children at sup
per, so it really isn't worth while"

Frequent baclSache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
NY Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"During the early part of my married life
was delicate in health both my husband and
were very anxious for n child to bless our
home, but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it.
did so and soon felt that l was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like new woman. Within year
became the mother of q strong healthy
child, the Joy of our home. Lydia l.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly n
splendid remedy, and l wish every woman
who wants to become mother would try it."
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is Ster-
lie, let her try Lydia E. Pinlham's s
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs
Pinliham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

WHERE TENNESSEEANS GO
Texas and Arkansas Get Most of
Those Who Leave the
State.

The last census report, made in the
year 1900, gives some interesting fig
ures showing the contributions made
by Tennesseeans to the population of
other states and territories. That re.
port shows that there were, when the
census of that year was taken, 1882
s85 persons in the United States who
were born in the state of Tennessee.
The entire population in this state, in
Guiding those not born here, was
2,020,616. We mention a few states
that show in their population large
number OF native Tennesseeans:
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1905-12-01

These are some of the state to which
Tennessee has contributed largely to
swelling their population; but they
ale by no means all. When the cen
sus was taken there were 1914 Ten
nsseeans in Indian territory. In New
York there were 2,51S of them, and
there was not a state in the union or A
territory in which there were not per-
sons who were born in Tennessee.
or course the loss of native popula-
tion was made up in some degree by
the presence here of men and women
who were born in other states. While
Tennessee contributed 2,513 to the
population of New York, there were in
this state 4O93 that were born in New
York. But while this state contrib
uted to the population of Illinois, that
state contributed to the population OF
this only 6,707. But the showing of tn 5
state in comparison. with Texas is the
worst; while we had in our population
when the census was taken only 694
native Texans. Texas showed up with
130,3S9 persons born in Tennessee as
shown above. We had 1896 persons
born in the state of Arkansas. but Ar
Kansas had "a G14 born in Tennessee,
There Is scarcely a western state in
which there is not large numhsy OF
Tennesseeans.
