The greatest loss suffered by Port

Hard-Luck Story.

81 have just heard real hard-luck
stor. from one of my constituents"
said Judge Bartlett of Georgia. There
has been considerable snow in Georgia,
and my constituent who lives in pro-
hibition county, was going to dance.
He had to drive fifteen miles. He
sent to an adjoining county for quart
of whisky. On the.night of the dance
he decided to save the whisky.
Before he went into the house he
looked around for place to hide his
treasure He saw pile of brush near
by, and going over to it took the pre-
cious quart and pushed it under the
brush In about one second he heard
a muffied splash. He had tried to
hide, perhaps, the only quart of whis-
ky in the county in an abandoned
well."-Houston Chronicle.

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhea,
disbursements of the uterus. pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,

the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles. all utter

menstruation perfectly and overcom-

invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.

EHoNE AID TO MATRIMoNX
Girl with One In Her Home Always
Popular with Young Men.

It is needless to say that the tele-
phone is great institution, says the
Utica Press. 1t has long been an abb
solute essential in every place of bust
ness. Just now there is a great in
crease in the number of phones in pri-
vate houses. 1t is possible to talk
with pretty much everybody at his or
her home. The companies are evil
IDENTIFY endeavoring to boom that
branch of their business. because they
are advertising extensively. The
other day st. Louis paper had a big
display ad at the top of which was
picture of an attractive young lady
telephoning and represented as say
ing: rs that you, Harry" The text
beneath it includes this statement:
"It is a well-known fact that the girl
who has a telephone is the girl who
has the most friends and consequently
has the best time"
This appeal to the young people Is
adroit and doubtless will serve to
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who have
manageable daughters will do well
to consider this ingenious continuance
and modern aid to matrimony. 1t is
something of bother for a young
man to call or even to write note
asking the young lady to go to the the
alter, go for walk or drive or ride
to the park, but If he can transmit the
message by telephone it is an easy
way of making an appointment
Many a delicious message is tele
phoned these days and there is reason
to believe the statement made by the
st. Louis company. 1t applies, OF
course, with equal force in every
American city. The young ladies for
whom a life of single blessedness has
no charms are not exactly buying a
lottery when they hire phone. They
can get much pleasure and comfort
out of it as they go along, for it is o
constant contributor to convenience
1t is worth the price, with the enhanc-
ed matrimonial possibility thrown ID
as an extra inducement.
