GOOD STORY TOLD BY IRVING.
How Spirited Witness Turned Laugh
On Harsh Lawyer.

Sir Henry Irving was once the
guest of honor at a lawyers banquet
in New York. In the course OF a
graceful address he said:
You, gentlemen, have given me
most helpful advice on the art of act
ing-will you permit me to give you
in return a piece of advice regarding
your profession?
MY advice, then, is that you make
your cross-examination less rigorous,
less harsh. What is the good OF
treating an honest and sensitive wit
ness in the witness stand as though
he were a sneak thief?
II confess that | am not In sym
pathy with harshness in cross-exam.
ination. and whenever I hear of a wit.
ness turning on an overbearing law
yer, my heart rejoices.
MY heart rejoiced last week. A
young nan in my company was a wit
ness in a case Of robbery. He had
seen a thief snatch a young girls
pocketbook and make off.
well the thief's lawyer cross.eX-
amined my young friend shamefully.
He roared at him, shook his fist at
him. raved at him.
And at what hour did all this
happen?" the lawyer, sneering, asked
toward the end of his examination.
II think my friend began, but
he was at once interrupted.
1--WE don't care anything here
about what you think" said the law.
yer, with a nor of contempt.
Don't you want to hear what |
Think" said my young friend mildly,
Certainly not the lawyer roarcd.
Then said my friend, I may as
well step down from the box. I'm
not a lawyer. cant talk without
thinking"

argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
ncighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money. and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross OF bottles.
Then came the question of selling
IL, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired o job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam.
lily had saved enough money to com.
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia f. Pinkham and her Vege.
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons Of roots and herbs are used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia f. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success Of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done 1t
herself.
During her long and eventful expe.
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds Of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia +. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction OF the work when it's origina-
tor passed away, For nearly twenty
ilve Years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia +. Pinkham dropped her
pen and the present Mrs. ~Pinkham,
now the mother of Il large family, took
IL up With woman assistants. some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs,
rlnkham continues this great work, and
probably from the office OF no other
person have so many women been ad-
ViNcd how TO regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is Yours for Health"
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia z. Pink
nam 5 Vegetable Compound made

great medicine for women's ailments,

After a careful, perusal of Mr..
Bryan's speech in Madison Square
Garden the Pensacola Journal takes
this view of the matter, which is
worth thinking about:
1T is yet two years before the
Democratic party will adopt plat
form and nominate a national ticket,
but if in that time the spirit of radi-
calism continues to grow as it has
grown in the past two years. those
of US who prefer radical rather than
conservative treatment of public is
sues will probably find Mr.. BTyan's
speech of Thursday night bulwark
of conservatism when compared with
the temper that is likely to actuate
the American people the further they
go under the domination Of private
monopoly and corporate insolence.

rue SWIFT ROAD no RUIN.


The st. Petersburg Independent
speaks out in vigorous ringing tones
against the proposed organizing OF a
vigilance committee in that fine lit
tie city of civilized, educated men and
women to correct a local grievance;
and the Atlanta papers are sternly
denouneing the efforts of lot of hot
heads and pin-heads in that city TO
organize a ku-klux-klan to terrorize
the negroes in the vicinity as a re-
suit of the recent series of outrages
on white women in the suburbs OF
Atlanta. The sureSt and quickest
way to start the whole South down
hill to ruin, with everything creased
for the occasion" is to turn it over
to viligance committees and ku-klux-
klans as tolerated agencies to cor
rect evils, aVenge wrongs and main
tain order; for that would mean to
put the most dangerous and reckless
forces of every community in control.
Rowdyism and ruffianism would IA
wage the land, peaceably inclined
negroes would be driven to lawless-
ness and violence, all respect for law
and order would be lost and wide
spread carnival of the worst forms
of crime, such as we have never
known, would desolate the South and
establish the reign of chaos. There
is, of course, no present danger of any
such condition, but not even in single
communities should any encourage
ment be given to wild and senseless
talk in favor of ku-klux-klans and
vigilance committees, for foolish
children playing with fire may easily
start destructive eonhagration. The
problems of the South must be solv-
ed in wisdom and justice and modera-
ton under the guidance of her best
and most law-abiding men-not in
the violence and crime of bands of
masked midnight marauders into
which the worst elements of every
community would be sure to gravi-
tate.

TWO WAYS OF SEEING THINGS.
tBy c. A. Ridley

(By G. A. Ridley.)
If you ask the boy with light hair,
blue eyes and sound digestion about
the world, he will tell you that it Is
all right, full of jolly, good fellows,
earpeted with greenswards for our feet
and beautifully arched with laughing
stars that light up the caverus of
night. But if you put the same ques-
ton to the man who has travelled
forty miles up life's uneven way-to
the man whose every step has been a
tumble and bruise-tO the man who
has made money and lost it, if you
ask him what of the world, he will
tell you that life is a game of chance
and those around the board are
scoundrels and thieves. He has
trusted men and been deceived by
them; he has cultivated the habit of
looking on the dark side of things
and distrusting his fellows until life
to him has become a tragedy deep
and dark as can. be woven out of
the mystery of death.
These represent two extremes of
lie and character, which you will
meet in every community. It is not
always true. however, that the Young
man is the optimist and the old one
the peSSimist II is sometimes re-
versed. Many of our truest opti-
mists are sixty years young, while
many OF our pulseless pessimists are
barely out of their teens. There are
as few kickers and grumblers in
our city as have ever seen in a
community of similar size, and, vet.
We are not exempt from their bane-
1uI influence. A few there are
philosophers, of courSe-men who II
they had been consulted, could have
given Providence several good point
ers on how to run the universe: these
are to be found, even in Florida
where the smiles of heaven riDen
tropical fruits and where hay. corn
and vegetables grow with less atten-
tlon than anywhere else in the world.
and where the cotton stalk grows
fifteen feet high and mods its white
head to the passing breeze.
You will not be with him long be-
fore he will give you to understand
that things generally are going
wrong; that cotton will not make

ing up the corn and the pinders are
short that the chickens are dying
OF cholera and the wolves are
bothering the cows; that prices went
up when he had nothing to sell and
that the people are moving away to

The Live Oak Democrat took on
new shape some weeks ago, but We

A SWEETHEART'S JOKE.

Here's true one on Alfred Reiss-
ner (but We won't say when it hap-
pened): An old gentleman had Dur-
chased a fine hammerless gun. of
which he was very proud and he took
great delight in showing it to his
friends Alfred called to see his
daughter one night and during the
evening insisted that she should kiss
him. She refused. Alfred asked
her what she would do if he kissed
her anyhow. Why I'd tell father
she replied Very soon, however. the
girl was surprised with the kiss. She
Immediately went to her fathers
room saying: Father, Alfred wants
to see your new gun. The old man
proudly took his gun and started in
10 the parlor. AS he entered the par
lor, Alfred went through the window
carrying the sash with him. He sent
back the next day after his hat be
left in the hall-Hallettsville TEX

ed to be tearing his hair-and per-
haps his shirt, although the dis
patches are silent on this point-in
the violence of his disgust over Mr..
Bryan's declaration in favor of the
government ownership of railroads.
Let Mr.. Bailey be of good cheer and
restrain his emotions. Mr.. Bryan is
merely a private citizen expressing
his private opinion in his usual frank
and manly way as to what should be
the relations of the government to a
vast and growing monopoly at some
indefinite time in the future. The
Democratic party is not committed
to government ownership. Mr.. Bryan
was merely giving US something to
think about-a definite proposition to
chew on so that we might have the
full flavor of it, when the time comes
for action.
