Rennnn of His Fenr.

There is little town up the coast that bears the name of Ocosta,' re- marked Jere T. Burke, of the Southern Pacific law department. while in a reminiscent mood. according to The San Francisco Chronicle. Tt lies just back of Grays harbor and Is the larg- est town in that neighborhood. How ever, that does not mean very much. visited Ocosta little while back. and while I was in town certain fellow traded a town lot for horse. After closing the deal the fellow that had acquired the horse hurriedly took the animal to a blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to shoe him in hurry. The blacksmith seemed in no hurry, however, and the owner of the horse made two or three trips outside of the shop. looking nervously up the road.
 Cant you hurry that Job?' he said to the blacksmith never was in such a hurry in my life.' =.
 Say declared the blacksmith. did you steal this horse?' .:.
 No, didn't steal the horse. said the owner reassuringly. I traded a lot for the horse. and by mistake I put two lots in the deed instead of one. Now I'm afraid the other fellow will discover the mistake and come back to demand the horse"

Several of them were sitting in thA office of General Manager Calvin, of the Southern Pacific, discussing rail- road men and railroad affairs, and the name of Sidney Dillon. one time presi- dent of the Union Pacific. was brought into the conversation, says The San Francisco Chronicle.
 Did you ever hear about the time that Sidney Dillon was rebuffed by a telegraph agent?" said MT. Calvin. "The story has been told on several railroad officials, but it really hap pened to Sidney Dillon. There was a washout on the Union Pacific over in Nebraska. The Loup River climbed out of its channel and did quite a little damage to piece of track at the far end of long trestle Several trains were stalled at little station near the scene of the trouble. and the passen- gers were subjecting the telegraph op- orator to all sorts of annoyance by asking questions. During the night President Dillon came along in his special train. Leaving the car he went up to the station and said to the oper- ator

having visible means of subsistence and unable to give q good account of him- self" This did not hurt the gypsies. In William TVS reign fine of 40 shfl- lings was imposed on any gypsy pitch ing a tent. booth, stall or stand or en- camping on any part of the highway. The gypsies are no longer q prescribed class" says q recent writer on vagran- cy. and 1t is arguable that a band of gypsies not engaged in fortune-telling and practicing some remunerative oc- cupation may lawfully live in tents so long as they do not encamp on the high roads" Sanitary bylaws seem to be the only available weapon against them, and a weak weapon they are. When the Surrey county council a few years ago passed a series of bylaws against all dwellers in tents and vans who haunt the commons and waysides the home secretary refused to confirm them until he got clear evidence of objections other than those on the score of insanitation.
 Probably the modern gypsy in this country does little evil beyond begging and petty theft, but his determination not to work Is as strong as ever, and 1t seems curious to tolerate a horde of professional idlers. How numerous the horde Is may he gathered from the fact that the number who wintered in Surrey one year recently was estimated at 10000. The reputation of the gypsy is bad everywhere An old Spanish law says: Seeing that they are liars. cheats and thieves and many of them accustomed to other kinds of wickedness." Twiss in the book on his travels says: The men are thieves and the women are libertfnes." Swinburne, traveller in the early part of last century, says: The men are swarthy, with a dark, scowling eye" E. D. Clarke, traveller in Russia, says: They are distinguished among Indian tribes by a name which signi- f1es thieves" An edict issued in Dem mark in early times runs: The Tar ters (gypsies) who wander about everywhere, doing great damage to the people by their lies. theft and witch craft" In Hungary they were order ed mot to appear in large cloaks, which are chiefly useful to hide stolen goods" Pope Plus II describes them as thieves and vagabonds The mere refuse of humanity is the term applied to them in Hollands history. When food and drink are plentiful the gypsy camp almost becomes a scene of brutal gluttony and debauchery." With us" said Judge stephen. they receive curl ously indulgent treatment

The wonderful power of Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not be- cause 1t Is a stimulant. not because it is a palliative. but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and recon Htructor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and are fair enough to give credit where 1t is due.
 If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would ac- knowledge that they constantly pre- scribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills. as they know by experience it can be relied upon to effect cure. The following letter proves it.
 pr. s. C. Brigham, of Brigham Park. Fitchburg. Mass. writes:
 Tt gives me great pleasure to say that l have found Lydia k. Pinkhams s Vegetable Compound. very efiicacious, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
 My oldest daughter found it very beneficial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my youngest daughter Is now taking it for a female weakness, and Is surely gaining in health and strength.
 T freely advocate it as a most reIia- ble specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endorsement.

PERIL LURKS
 IN HYPNOTISM
ITS INDIsCRIAHNATE USE TENDS TO
 PRODUCE INSANITY.
Continued Employment of It Undermines Mental Health-Practice Dangerous Unless Operators Are Con-
 scientious Persons.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Is there a dangerous side to hypnotism? Much has been written and said lately by men of high mental and moral quality about the excellences of hypnotism. By its use people could be healed of certain diseases. Under its influence powers the possession of which the owners were hardly conscious of found expression Evil habits and tenden- cies were overcome. Dr. Mary E. Sellen of New York. who has been studying the eff fects of hypnotism for a number of years in different parts of the country. recently declared at a meeting of the Medico-Legal society that she was convinced that hyp- notism has a dangerous side.
 'Mv experience with hypnotism for the last fifteen years" she said the other day. 'has discouraged me to its value. It tends to lessen the Individuality of the per son hypnotized and renders the subject more or less receptive to outside influences, This is illustrated in the recent Wood or Wolff trial. In this instance there a belief in another personality.
 .It Is no doubt equally true that many physical and sometimes mental troubles are helped through hypnotism when the operator a-rfor so much depends upon that-is consci- entious in his suggestions and in sound health both mentally and physically Passes made over the body sometimes eoualize the circulation and remove obstructions in the organism. Still. think these cases are rare.
 Cases Where Effects Were Disastrous.
 '"The dangers of hypnotism are especially well illustrated by two young men I knew in Cincinnati They were very bright young fellows. who had come from west of the Mississippi rixAr to stucy. They became members of class of fifteen or sixteen per sons formed to investigate hypnotism. The two were used subjects for the purposes of the investigation. and were always hyp- notized by the same person. The hynotiC state was induced two or three times IT the course of the evening. After about three months of experimenting I noticed that their opinion was always that of thu hypnotist. They seemed to have opinions of their own. but usually appealed to hin for support. I was convinced that they ha( lost their own Individuality. and had be- come, mentally. part of the hypnotst Sil months later I left. the city. Returning after an absence of three years, I learned that one of the young men had been placed in an insane asylum.

WOMEN OF THE CoNFEDERAcY.

 Cclson).
 Ruskin says: "A woman has a per sonal work and duty. relating to her own home. and public work and duty, which Is also the expansion of that. The woman's work in her own home Is to secure its order, comfort, and loveli- ness. The womans duty, as a member of the commonwealth, Is to assist in the ordering, in the comforting and in the beautiful adornment of the State. What the woman is to be within her gates, as the center of order, the balm of distress, and the mirror of beauty, that she Is to be also without the gates, where order is more difficult. distress more emir ent and loveliness more rare.'
 The work of the Southern woman may best be shown by depicting her as she appears in the most marked epochs Of her history-the period of the Old South, during the Civil War, through the transition period, and her present proud and eminently satisfactory posi- ton. To understand thoroughly the first of these epochs, necessitates a brief ref erence to the state of civilization in the Southern States in ante-bellum days During the pansion from Colonial days. this section numbered among its set-

Hurtsboro, Ala, Aug. 5, 1905


 The Jefferson Davis Chapter held its regular monthly meeting with Mrs. Blanche Baron, August End. The Presi- dent and Vice-President being absent, Mrs. N W. E. Long, the Honorary Pres ident, called the meeting to order and presided.
 Delegates to the coming convention were elected, viz: Mise Queenelle Long and Mrs. Cornelius Reid, alternates. Mrs. w. B. Allen and Mrs. ". H. Bailey. As the great distance will probably pre- vent any of the members gcing. we de- cided to ask our State President Mrs. J. N. Thompson, to serve as proxy in their absence.
 The Jefferson Davis Chapter espe- cial1y rejoices over the return of the flag of the Perote Guards to the Ala bama Department of Archives and Hfs- tory. and feels a personal interest in it. As our honorary President, Mrs. Long raised the money for this flag and su- perintended the making of 1t.
 After the regular routine of business. the Chapter went into social session. We do not dishand In the summer, but do not try to have a program each time. Misses Nelle and Alma Baron assisted in serving refreshments. after which we adjourned to meet the first Wednes- Jay in September with Mrs. Josephine Harbuck.
