cided to answer the questions. Pull ing the sheet toward himself. he dipped his pen into the muddy ink. The first question was; Does this person appear to be in good health? Still keeping up the jest, the post
 master rose, stepped over to where jagged piece of looking glass stood on a shelf, and examined his appearance therein critically. When he sat down again. his face was more sober. and. picking up his pen. he wrote: No" "Is he a man of temperate habits?
 the veriest trifle, but again wrote plainly. No"
 Has he always been temperate? If not, state particulars in Remarks.
 The postmaster smiled rather sadly as he read the question. Seems as though they were bound to have 1t all out" he muttered aloud. an. s'elp me. they shall. too" He thought that he would make a rough draft of what he was going to write, and set about 1t in scrawling. shaky hand.
 This man." he wrote, lis a plain drunkard. He has been drunkard for the last five years. He began well enough He married nice giri here. and started In keeping shop. He had three little children--a boy and two girls--but they didn't keep him straight. and soon he got to abusing his wife: and when she couldn't stand 1t no longer she left him. She Is now supporting herself and the children,. while he Is despised by everyone. No one will do business with him now, except such as have to. and his trade | Is all gone. He has a government position here. which he will probably
 lose soon. and that will be the end of
 him He Is a wreck, and couldn't pay the first premium on policy if it | was no more than sfxpence. His wife | is getting old before her time, but | people respect her, and pity her chill | dren for having such a father. That l is the kind of man Moses Briggs is." | The postmaster laid down his pen l and slowly read over what he had put | in his rough draft.
 That's what I'll write under Re- marks" he said, just the plain truth. | Then we'll see if they'll want t" issue | any policy"
 He rose from his chair again. and,
 walking over to the window, looked | out. The post office was built on a l blum, overlooking river. The sun
 was just setting, and the sky, behind the distant tree-tops was rose pink.
 In the blue above one early star twin | kled feebly
 The man stood there drinking in the scene-the water flashing in the last dying sunbeams, the grassy slope, and over all the single star. Then sud-
 denly his frame grew erect, his eye flashed, and he threw both arms out
 straight from the shoulders, his fists clenched.
 'It'll be true." he muttered, for I
 mean it. and it can't do anybody any
 hurt if I say so. I couldn't take out policy anyway. An. seems as though
 I'd like to see 1t written down that
 way"
 He sat again. and pulled the inquiry
 sheet toward him, as he dipped his
 pen into the ink. The two questions
 with NO" after them seemed less of- fensive now. Under Remarks he wrote with firm hand:
 Used to drink hard. Has reform

WOfT1an,s Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life is to
 be childless. Who can tell how hard the
 struggle may have been ere she learnt to
 resign herself to her lonely lotH The ab-
 sence, of this link to bind marital life
 together, the absence of this one pledge
 to mutual affection Is a common disap- Pointment. Many unfortunate couples
 become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes Of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous. In many cases of barrenness or child lessness the obstacle to child bearing is easily removed by the cure of weakness on the part of the woman Dr. PierceAs Fa- vortte Prescription has been the means of restoring health and fruitfulnees to many barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of surgical character, but easily removable by painless operative treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur gtcal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., over which pr. Pierce of the ~FavoFite Prescription fame presideS. In all cases where chil-i dren are desired and are absent. an effort should be made to find out the real cause, since 1t IS generally so easily removed byI proper treatm0nk
 In all the various weaknesses, displace- menss, proiapsus, inflammation and de- Dihtating, catarrhal drains and in all eases of nervousness and debility, Dr. Pierce's Favorfte Prescription is the most efficient remedy that can possibly be used. 1 lt has to it's credit hundreds of thousands of cures more In fact than any other remedy. put up for sale through druggists, especially for woman's use. The ingredi- enes Of which the ~Favorite Prescription Sl IS composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading medical writers on MGteTtG Medtcu of ail the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed t1G pLdtn Esa0l6sh on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, SO that any woman making use of this | famous medicine may know exactly what | she is taking. Dr. Pierce takes his pa- tients into his full confidence, which he 1 can afford to do as the formula after which the "Fsvorite Prescription Is made will bear the most careful exam nation.

CLAY COURT HOUSE.
Controversy Between Ashland and Line
 vile is Again Resumed.

Controversy Between Ashland ana Lsne-
 vile is Again Resumed.
 I.ineville. June Especial. )-The contest for the new Court House to bn built in Clay County has been resumed.
 The citizens of Lineville have out new petitions and about 100 of these peti- tions are being circulated in different portions of the county.
 A defect has been found in the con tract and the failure tv get the money on the warrants will give the people of Lincville time to thoroughly canvass the county.
 It Is thought that a sufficient num- Der will be secured in a few days to author.zF the calling of an election by the Governor.
 Ashland and Lineville are both anx- ious for the new Court House and 1t is very probable that tho town that gets it will pay several thousand towards the new building.
 The voters of the county at different places are anixous to get this feature into the game. Thereby saving the taxpayers considerable money.
