The fact that the most beautiful
palms grow luxuriantly in their
native state near Brownsville should
encourage the residents of this city
to beautify the grounds surround
ing their homes by planting palm
trees. Palms of several years growth
may be easily secured and trans
planted quite successfully. Some
of our people have long since tried
this plan with the result that they
already have very handsome full
grown palms growing in their yards,
and everyone admires them. In
fact, no trees or shrubs are so or
namental or SO generally admired
as palms. Let us utilize this means
of identifying or little city, and
Brownsville may ip- time become
known as the City of Palms.

Native, Refnp Differentiated.

The Bushmen, the predominating
tribe in South Africa less than hun
dred years ago, have been killed off
like wild beasts by the Beers and En-
glishmen. They were shot on sight
like tigers and lions. Very few es-
capped the slaughter and these are
now only to be seen in the great
Kalabari desert, where they are, at
least for the present, out of reach of
the murderous whites.
The pygmies hold their own in the
great forests of the interior, where
they will remain unmolested until the
whites lay their hands on the valu-
able timber which now constitutes
their shelter, when the same fate will
be meted out to them as their kin,
the Bushmen, have met.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
caring in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi,
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
ertY swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.

AueIc was one OL U.s. q ~
A fair, young, gentle thing,
Wasted with fever in the siege,
And her mind was wandering
She lay on the ground, in her Scottish
plaid,
And l took her head on my knee;
when my father comes hame trae the
plough" she said,
"Oh then please wauken me-
She slept like child on her fathers hoor
In the flecking of woodbine shade,
When the house dog sprawls by the open
door,
And the mothers wheel is stayed.
1t was smoke and roar and powder-stench,
And hopeless waiting for death;
And the soldiers wife, like full-tired
child,
Seemed scare to draw her breath.
1 sank to sleep; and | had my dream
OF an English village lane,
And wall and garden-but one wild
scream
Brought me back to the roar again.
There Jessie Brown stood listening
Till sudden gladness broke
All over her face; and she caught my
hand
And drew me near as she spoke -
1.-THE Hielanders o, dinna We hear
The slogan far ava?
The McGregor's-O, ken it Weel;
&I,4a - o.
"God bless the bonny Hielanders
We're saved we're saved !" she cried;
And fell on her knees; and thanks to God
Flowed forth like a full food-tide.
Along the battery line her cry
Had fallen among the men,
And they started back-they were there
to die;
But was life so near them, then?
They listened for life; the rafting fire
Far off, and the far-off roar,
Were all and the colonel shook his head
And they turned to their guns once
more.
But Jessie said, "The slogans done;
But Wilma We hear it moo,
The Campbells are comm? It's no a
dream;
Our succors haze broken through J"
We heard the roar and the rattle afar,
But the pipes we could not hear;
So the men piled their work of hopeless
war,
And knew that the end was near.
1t was not long ere 1t made Its way
A thrilling, ceaseless sound;
It was no noise from the strife afar,
Or the sappers under ground.
1t was the pipes of the Highlandersl
And now they played Aud Lang Syne
1t came to our men like the voice OF God,
And they shouted along the line.
And they wept, and shook one another's
hands,
And the women sobbed in a crowd;
And every one knelt down where he stood,
And we all thanked God aloud.
That happy time, when we welcomed
them,
Our men put Jessie hrst,
And the general gave her his hand, and
cheers
Like a storm from the soldiers burst.
And the piper's ribbons and tartan
streamed,
Marching round and round our line;
And our joyful cheers were broken with
tears,
As the pipes played Aud Lang Syne.
