Prosperous Palestine.
From me chicago Tribune

From me Chicago Tr1bune.
The Holy Land Is flowing with milk and honey.
The stimulus given to Palestine trade Is In great
measure due TO plentiful rains and consequent
good cereal and orange crops and the absence oi
cumulative restrictions. Twenty years ago the
revenue was about SSO,OO while last year n Was
estimated At t20O.OOo, Another incentive TO trade
is the annually growing number OF tourists who
now visit the country In spring and autumn, arrv.
ing frequently In specially chartered vessels. ~
Cara the Government purposes TO build q sea jetty,
which would give an impetus to trade there, as a.
present there Is only an open rosdstead. and when
ever the sea Is rough the loading or dlscharging
of cargoes Is impracticable. The Governor Of
BeerShebs Is doing his best to encourage building

giving TO the road this public character:
It would tend TO lessen the hostility to
motors, which undoubtedly exists to
some extent, however unreasonable 1t
may be, among some portions OF the
community; and it would justify the
Legislature in comforting upon the cor

condemnation proceedings in those cases,
not unlikely to occur, in which property
owners might be unwilling to sell.

Airs. III. mr. ghf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.

tasted good and it caused adisturbance inmy
stomach. tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
TO find that it acted like fine tonic and in a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has

Though in different language they c1-
pressed the same fear that Jabez had
been prey to.
Winslow was saying: ut must give
quite feeling of importance-this
landed proprietorship. Can you not
imagine that beyond that clump OF
trees stands a lodge with ancestral
halls at the end Of the drive? The
park and deer are here, we only need
the family plate and portraits"
He was trying to rouse her out of
this pathetic mood. But though she
laughed, her mirth was forced. damp
ened not only by the trend of her
thoughts, but by awe Of this stranger.
He and Gerald Creighton were the only
gentlemen she had ever known. With
the one she had no sense of inferiority.
For, as by the power of love she was
raised to him, SO in degree, Gerald had
sunk to her level, and the difference in
station was wiped out. But simple
friendship has keener vision, and with
Winslow she was herself the branch

Near the ash-tree in the lane she
turned. At the end of weedy path
squatted the cabin. A dingy platform
was its porch, connecting the corners
where the logs met in unfriendly
union. On the step female figure
sat with the inert budding of the body
which no mind directs.

replied.
Then, amazed to see her distress:

in wonderment.
And his wonder grew when she an

every word: Il would not. The only
good that would come of it would be to
clear your name, and that, sir, it does

the petals from a wild rose.
Then, ruefully, as she gazed at the
barred heart of the flower: And my
poor fathers life was taken, as all
suppose, fairly in defense of your own.
Not a word has gone against you;
amt they all proud to have you for
teacher-a friend? Then, sir. let it

She paused, amazed at her own te-
merity; overcome with the rush of
words which her distracted heart
beats pushed from her as the blood
they measured.
To Winslow it seemed an odd re-
quest-odd, above all, that she should
make it. And even as she spoke, one
thought stood out through the fog of
doubt; he knew now the reason for
Lavender's coldness-knew why she
shrank from seeing him. She thought
the blood of an old man was on his
hand, a death upon his soul He
could scarcely wait to tell her the
truth-to clear himself in her eyes,

The repeated words of the girl at his
side recalled him. Let it rest there?
