Obedience a Help.

There is a woman down in Indiana
who is hale and hearty at the age of
100, and when she was asked to what
she attributed her age and health she
replied, obedience" And this, too,
at time when the women are having
the word "obey" taken out of the mar
riage service and in other ways mani
Testing the most supreme contempt for
the old obligation. 1t is not to be be-
lieved that there are many women who
will care to drag out an existence of
100 years in state of obedience, even
if fair degree of health is assured.
The holy scriptures do not tell us how
long the women lived, although we
know that Sarah survived until she
was 127 and was so Obedient that the
Lord blessed her with Isaac when she
was 80. And it is fair to suppose that
other good Hebrew wives were equally
long lived and successful. Thus we
see that obedience is of the utmost
importance to the human race and is
the source of happiness and prosper.
ity. Still the women of this age are
extremely stiff-necked and unreason.

A problem which perplexed the last

my race which centuries ago un.
doubtedly inhabited the Tennessee

these legends were very hazy. A bury

discovered in the early part of the

Go Barehead to Church.

The custom of going bareheaded
which New York women have extern
sively adopted this summer, has
spread even to the churches. At serv.
ices which are held Week evenings a
large contingent Of women attend
without hats. II hope the custom will
extend to the theaters this winter,
said a West Side man. Then women
will not have to hold their hats in
their laps. l always feel sorry for
women when they take off their hats
in the theater. Their hair is usually
and taking care of hat
all evening is a nuisance. A woman
never looks prettier than with a scarf
of lace or chiffon thrown over her
head, and it is no trouble to take care
OF that. Women wear them in Lon.

WHO Is kODAMA7
Power Behind the Throne Says News
paper Correspondent.

II one asks who Kodama Is there
are two answers; one, that he is the
chief of the general staff in the Japan.
csc army, and the other that he Is,
besides, a poor unlettered man, who
at 81 years of age, rules japan and
guides her armies.
Richard Barry, the war correspond
ent, says, in Port Arthur" that this
man thinks while others sleep, and
works while others eat. He is the
power behind the throne, the adviser
at the generals ear.
Many public men in Japan believe
Kodama to be an unsafe person OF
second-rate capacity. He had been
sent to Formosa, to "get rid of him"
There he raised the place from saw
agery to a commercial prosperity. He
could have been prime minister.
NO" he said. 81 would rather pull
strings than be one of the strings to
be pulled. Russia is peeping up over
the border. Let us prepare. Give
me desk in the war Office"
So the critics were glad to get the
upstart out of the way. But when the
war came, one man had his finger on
things, and knew when and where to
strike. He knew the points in the
Korean coast where an army could
be landed. He knew how soon it
could be transported there; where all
the merchant steamers were, and how
long it would take to turn them into
transports; and he had the audacity
of genius.
He was not very presentable man.
He had never travelled, and spoke
nothing but Japanese. He would
laugh like a boy at what he liked,
and frown over what displeased him.
And he scorned a frock coat and stuck
to kimono. But the emperor and
the wisest heads about him knew
what Kodama was, and although they
could not, for pride's sake, give him
the command of the army, they
crowned him with power.

Slumber hasten down this way,
And, ere midnight dies,
Silence lay upon my lips,
Darkness on my eyes.
Send me fantastic dream;
Fashion me a-freSh;
Into some celestial thing
Change this mortal flesh.
When l know one may not choose;
One is helpless still
In the purple realm of sleep;
Use me as you Will.
Let me be a frozen pine
In the dead glacier lands;
Let me pant, a leopard stretched
On the Libyan sands.
Silver fin or scarlet wing,
Grant me either one;
Sink me deep i'm emerald glooms,
Lift me to the sun.
Or of me a gargoyle make,
Face of ape or gnome.

Keeling drunken home.
Work on me your own caprice,
Give me any shape;
Only, Slumber, from myself
Let myself escape!

About three years ago had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,

examined me and, to my surprise, declared
had tumor in the uterus.
II felt sure that it meant my death warrant
and was very disheartened. spent hundreds
OF dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately /
corresponded with my aunt in the New Eng
and States, who ad vised me to try Lydia e.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound before sub
uniting to an operation, and / at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months l noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. kept
| on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper

THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED
BY Mothers Medicine Chest" and

certain eastern publications on some
Of the best known and most valuable
Of the worlds proprietary medicines,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says:
"All through the country districts,
in every state of the union, you will
find in the farm houses the old family
remedies, sometimes called patent
medicines many of which have been
in use in the same household for gen.
erations. Among such people the old
fashioned proprietary medicine, al
ways at hand with full printed in
structions for use, is one of the neces-
stiles of life.
ITO families in the country many
miles from doctor such remedies are
invaluable. Mothers medicine chest
has saved many life and met many
threatening sickness at the TIRES
hold and turned it out of doors. So
far from constituting self-prescription,
as is often pretended, acquaintance
with a patent medicine often obvi-
ates the necessity of such a step; for
here is a prescription already made
up, the effect of which is well known.
One of the greatest advantages of
such medicine is that its constant for
mula gives it the character of single
drug, so far as uniformity Of result is
concerned, and the people who use 1t
know from experience just what they
can count on-which is more than can
be said of many physicians prescrip-
tons frequently obtained at a far
greater cost and trouble"

DEFEATED BUT
 NOT CRUSHED
Russia Still Has an
 Army
In the Far East, Says a Telegram From St. Petersburg-KurOpat- kin Praised For His MasterIy Retreat.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 12. ? a.. m.-Russia still has an army in the far east and its line of retreat is not cut off. Field Marshal Gvama's trap was again sprung too late to bag the prey that he desired, and though pounded on the rear and both Hanks by artillery and losing heavily in killed, wounded and prisoners, Gen eral Kuropatkin with the main portion of his forces intact is filing slowly back to Tie pass, whither consider able part of hIs army has already ar rived and has joined hands with the reserves which have been preparing a position behind which the beaten army may find shelter.
 Kuropatkin himself with the rear guard was reported on Saturday after noon in the vicinity of SyanZia, twen- ty five miles below Tie pass, having accomplished some fifteen miles of his retreat and being already beyond the jaws of the trap as originally set.
 How many of his men he was oblig ed to leave behind, and whether any of the units of his army were cut off CT captured before the retreat began, is not stated.
