II STAND PAT"
SAYS ELLERBEE
South Carolina Congressman
Talks About Cotton Report.
JORDAN ISSUES STATEMENT.
Eierbee Says Charges Were Not In
spired by Harvie Jordan, and That
They Were Made, Because He Can
Sustain Them.

Washington, June 9.-Representa-
tive Ellerbee says that he proposes
to stand pat on the resolution intro
duced by him charging the manipu-
latiOn of the cotton acreage. An at
tempt has been made to discredit him
inspired by Mr.. Harvie Jordan in an
effort to bulldoze the department of
agriculture
LAS matter of fact" continued Mr..
Ellerbee, Mr.. Jordan was not con-
suited one way or the other before
the introduction or my resolution. He
was not in the city and knew nothing
whatever concerning my intentions in
the matter. What | said at the time
introduced my resolution l adhere to,
and | have not been to the white
house in regard to the matter and
have no intention Of discussing the
subject with President Roosevelt. My
views were celarly set forth at the
time l introduced the resolution in
the house, and any assertion made
am prepared to substantiate at the
proper time and place. But l do not
think it incumbent upon me to call at
the white house with anybody, for the
reason that it has not been indicated
to me that such course will be nee
essary.
my sources of information were
sufficiently satisfactory, in my judg-
ment, to justify me in taking the
course that did and my aim was ac-
complished when 1 brought the matter
to the attention of congress and guar
anteed my ability to substantiate every
statement contained in my preamble
and resolution"

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one OF DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrapperS and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paving for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for eX-
tracing and preserving the medicinal
PRINCIPLES used in them, viZ.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being most valuable anti-septic and anti
ferment, nutrltlVe and soothing demul-
cent.
Glvcerine plays an important part in
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risingS,
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom-
ach. bfliousness and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments. the oGolden Medical Discovery"
is specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether OF the
nasal passages or OF the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs Even in its lucrative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy if it's use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, 1t is we'll,
while taking the "Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with Dr. Sage'S
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
chial throat and lung affections, except con-
sumption in its advanced stages, the Golden
Medical Discovery" is most efficient rem
edy, especially In those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion OF
the bronchial mucous membranes. The "Dis-
covery is not so good for acute coughs ar1s-
ing from sudden colds. nor must it be ex-
pected to cure consumption in Its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate. chronic coughs which. IL neg
iected or badly treated. lead up to conSump-
tion. II Is the best medicine that can be taken.

Farmer Burnham was talking very
loudly TO Fred when she went into the
dark, gloomy kitchen. The boys face
was white and his eyes filled with
tears as he looked at Bessie, his Sis
ter.
You can't have him." said the little
girl. choking back her sobs. Hes all
we've got left, and we're going to keep
him.
'Ho, no." laughed MIR. Burnham,

Mr.. Randall.
Fred, would you rather come with

1t was Miss Martins voice, and Fred
grasped her hand eagerly, while his
sister cried: "Oh, do go with her.
Fred"
"I'd rather do it, Miss Martin, If
you could get along with me-" said the
boy, earnestly I'D try hard to help
what | could"
Miss Martins face lighted up as she
listened. This was a new experience
to her. Her life had been wholly cen
tered upon her own interests. She
could not help thinking of it even in
the midst of this excitement A new
feeling swept over her. How selfish
she had been! Would God forgive
her?
While these thoughts were passing
through her mind she was making her
be too late. No; Mr.. Burnham had
been called in another direction. She
pulled the poormaster's sleeve and
whispered hurriedly:
"I'll take Fred"

Mr. Randall gladly agreed.
II can have a bedroom and a tiny
kitchen added to my house instead of
a parlor," thought Miss Martin, land
can take the old kitchen for a living
room. l don't really need a parlor,
anyway"
And now what about little Ray?
There he sat, seemingly unconscious
of all that was going On around him,
printing some words on a piece of
cardboard. Ray was only seven years
old. He would need care for a long
time. perhaps all his life, for he was
not strong in body. He was fond of
books and flowers and shy and reti-
cent. He held up the cardboard. at
length and looked at the words he had
printed. They were: Trust In the
Lord"
Nobody wanted Ray. He could not
be Of much use anywhere, and 1t was
decided that he must e to the county
farm.
"I'n take him home with me to-
night" said Mr.. Randall, land send
him away tomorrow morning."
Sitting around Miss Martins table
at supper that night very little was
said. Fred had filed the wood box.
brought water and made himself use

thinking of his little brother. Bessie
could hardly keep back the tears.
Miss Martin could not help noticing
the children's faces. and altogether 1t
was not cheerful company.

was a knock at the door, and Miss

"You stay here, children" said Miss
Martin, kindly; "I'll be back In a few
moments"
Then she slipped over to the little old
house, and, as quietly as she could,
peered into every room. There, In
the half twilight she found Ray at
last half-lying. half-kneeling on the
bare floor. in the little room where he
used to sleep. In his arms was the

A REMARKABLE OPERATOR
Farmer Grated Live Rabbit tn In.

FARMER GFnfted Live Rabbit to In
jured Horses Shoulder.
Elmer Purdy, local farmer. who
is also something of a horse and cow
doctor. has just succeeded in perfect
Ing cure which is attracting consid-
cradle attention hereabouts, saws tho
New York World. The method used
is not new, but so far as known II has
never been applied to horse.
Several weeks ago a valuable roam
colt belonging to Purdy ran into
barbed-wire fence and lacerated ts
off shoulder. The wound did not seem
to be serious and the usual methods
for healing were applied. For a time
the wound got along we'll enough. but
later developed into running sore and
the colt went lame. Some of the shouI.
der muscles were affected and it look
ed as though the animal would have
to be killed.
Purdy tried all the remedies he
knew Of, but they did not good. and
finally he determined to graft live
hare onto the leg over the wound. He
therefore set box trap in the woods.
baited 1t with popple bark and a car
rot and caught lively jack rabbit.
Purdy then undertook to etherize the
bunny, for fear that the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
which is particularly active In Rutland
County, would step in and make things
disagreeable for him. Not being an
expert in administering ether he killed
the hare.
Later on he caught second rabbit
and was more successful, etherizing 1t
properly. When this had been done g.
slit was made in the skin along the
side and the fur pulled back far
enough to cover the sore on the colts
shoulder. The wound was then bathed
with a solution of corrosive sublimate
to sterilize 1t and the rabbit bound In
such a way as to completely cover the
same. The skin was then stitched to
the horses hide and the colt was
swung off his feet that he might not
lie down and crush the hare.
When bunny came to his senses he
seemed astonished, but made no eff
fort to get away. The colt looked.
around at him in equal surprise, but
the warm body added to his comfort
and he offered no objection. The hare
was fed regularly and for the most
part remained quiet 1t was necessary
to bind down his hind legs, as he was
given to kicking, but on the whole,
he took matters philosophically.

to the conversation, and wondering II
her father would touch on the subject
of their identity during Jacks visit; but
Mr.. Mallett did not wish to be made the
topic Of gossip among Miss Malling's
guests, and therefore kept his own coun-
sci.
When Jack was about to leave, Mr..
Mallett decided to walk part of the way
with him, and accordingly went down
stairs first. Jack turned, with the door
handle in his hand, to thank Ethel for
what she had done-yet hardly to thank
her, either.
II can't go without thanking you for
being SO candid with me, Ethel" he
said. "Of course | was very surprised
when l received your letter breaking off
the engagement; but equally of course
there was nothing for me to do but &C
quiesce in your wish"
Ethel felt how ungenerous this remark
was, seeing that his neglect had led to
what had happened; but she would not
be driven into reproachlng him, and so
give him cause to Justify himself Her
feelings were too real to bear disco
ton, and she avoided the discussion.
THAT is all passed" she said, grave
ly; better let it rest"
Though she did not say one word In
self-defense, there was a world OF re-
proach in the subdued tones of her ad-
vice; though her speech was so indif-
ferent, her whole manner asserted her
right to be considered more than blame
less throughout the affair.
Jack felt miserably small under her
calm gaze, and his respect for her was
vastly increased by this little passage at
arms; and, as he was carried by the af
ternoon express back to Mallingford
Park. he could not shake from his mind
the fable of the dog and the shadow.

THE LITTLE ANIMALS.

The bay mare stands at my kitchen
door,
And saucily shakes her head
For bite of apple, pinch of salt
Or sugared crust Of bread.
But, oh, for the little wooden horse
found in corner to-day.
And the little groom that straddled him
And rode him cut to play!
Old Rover maps on the shaded porch,
= While his great, brown, kindly eyes
Follow rue to the golden gate
And back to my bread and pies.
But oh, for the cotton dog on wheels
That romped on the velvet floor.
And the little master that shall come
And play with him no more!
The Spanish cock with the crimson comb,
When he hears my feeding call,
He answered with a flap of wings
And crow from the garden wall.
But, oh, for the plaster cock that crewed
When my baby pressed the spring
My tiny poultryman that hauled
Hin round upon a string!
And the cattle in the barn,
The geese that squat by the water
trough
And gable through the tarn.
But, oh, when the evening shadows fail,
And the ache of the lonely dark,
turn to the painted animals,
In a little wooden ark!
And, one by one, take them up.
And cuddle them to my breast,
For the love of the careless little Noah
That set them here to rest
Here by the sunny window-seat,
In corner of his room,
Where curious roses Climb and peep
And wonder into bloom.
have mothered many an orphan lamb
For the faint and fallen eve.
And many downy duckling housed
From the weasel and the dew;
But now, that every mothers babe
On the farm is safe at rest,
turn to the little wooden sheep
And fold them to my breast

Two Women Authors,

Miss Mary Johnston, the celebrated
southern novelist, who is very fire.
quently In Washington, is a sad ply
steal wreck, the victim Of too siren
uous success operating on a frall
vitality. She said to a number OF
people who met her this summer and
autumn at Warm Springs, Va, where
she had gone in search of health that
she never hoped to be we'll and strong
again, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. She is a pale, pathetic lit
tie creature, with a wistful appealing
face and large brown eyes, set initial
lectually far apart. She has realized
handsome profits from her books.
Another southern writer, Amelia
Rives, the Princess Troubetskoy. who
was In physical eclipse for a number
of years, has renewed her youth and
uncommon beauty and locks like a girl
of 16 instead of the woman Of 40 that
statistics show her to be. She ascrfbes
it all to the idyllic existence she leads
at her ancestral country home in Vir-
ginia, where she and her princely
husband love to dream away the hours
Il believe entirely in the simple life"
exclaimed this charming woman. I'm
into bed at 8 and out of it at 7. What
would your fashionable women think
of such a regiment" she laughed. The
forceful beauty of her recent poem
'Selene" is an advance In literary
strength and grace over anything the
lovely lady has ever done.
