A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
Q medicine is DR.. Pierce'S FavOrite Pre-
soription-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print its
formula on every bOttle-wrapper and at
test it's completeness and correctness
under oath; remedy devised and adapted
to woman'S delicate constitution by an
educated pnySician-an experienced Spe-
cialist in wOman'S diseases; a remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emf
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for theeure of wOman'S
peculiar diseases; a remedy which has
more bOnG-ttde cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of otrial bottles to be
experimental with, but is sold at fair
priceby all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
Ring pains, low down in the abdomen, or
pelYis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling IN
stomach, sees lIudSl SludIy uOdGiIlS oPSChos
or spots before her eyes, has melancholia,
or Ublues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
ami especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as substitute for medi
cine like DR.. Pie1ce's FaVorite Prescrip-
ton, which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has a record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before. Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients, believing open. publicity to be
the very best guaranty of merit

TO consult him by letter free Of charge.

sacredly confidential and an ansWe-5i re-

CostIiest of All Fish.

The fish was no bigger than silver

it had beautiful bushy golden tail.

the finest aquarium fish in the world,

handsome, healthy and long lived. 4

BEES IN WARFARE.
Two Instances In Which the Insect.
Were Used as Weapons.

TWO instances In Which the Insects
Were Used as Weapons.
History records two instances in
which bees have been used in warfare
as weapons against besieging forces.
The first is related by Appian of the
siege of Themiscyra, in Pontus, by Lu-
cullus in his war against AIithridates.
Turrets were brought up, mounds were
built, and huge mines were made by
the Romans. The people of Themis-
cyra dug open these mines from above
and through the holes cast down upon
the Workmen bears and other wild
animals and hives or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded in
an Irish manuscript in the BibliotheQue
Royale at Brussels and tells how the
Danes and NOrwegians attacked Ches-
ter, which was defended by the Saxons
and some Gallo auxiliaries. The Danes
were wOrsted by a stratagem, but the
NOrwegians, sheltered by hurdles, tried
to pierce the walls of the town when
"what the Saxons and the Gaeidhil
who were among them did was to
throw down large rocks, by which they
broke down the hurdles over their
heads" What the others did to check
this was to place large posts under the
hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to put
all the beer and water of the town into
the caldrons of the town and boil them
and spill them down upon those who
were under the hurdles, so that their
skins were peeled Off The remedy
which the Lochlans applied to this was
to place hides outside on the hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to
throw down all the beehives in the
town upon the besiegers, which pre-
vented them from moving their hands
or legs from the number of bees which
stung them. They afterward desisted
and left the city.

When yarns are being spun one hears
a gool deal concerning the curious an
tics people go through when highly ex
cited, but very little is said about the
man who gets scared after it is all
over And the latter, not being so
constituted that he can faint, as wo-
man often does after a fright, gener-
ally keeps his own counsel and often is
given the credit of being cool and
"ne.vy'' when the fact is that his knees
are ready to bump together for mutual
support.-Forest and Stream.

crop amounts to about $3.50, 100000

that this is a considerable item even
if the system is followed over only
part of the cotton belt.
The trouble Of picking out good
cotton seed all along and in plant

jewellers in the belt is that the seed
is fuzzy and will not easily separate.
But the Department has discovered

Pe0nage in Florida

While false stories o. peonage and
other wrongs in Florida are being
circulated in every corner Of the
nation the Times Union comes out
in the interest of the State, contain
ing probably the best and most
forceful article ever published in the
State. in which the position of ForI.
da was defended and that Of the
Federal government attacked.
The text was found in the follow.
ing words of Col. Corhett.
"a reputable, honorable, Cod
fearing citizen Of Florida has just
gone through the ordeal Of trial in
the United States court, at a cost
estimated by himself at more than
$4,000 Oh this question of peonage.

ficers to gather the facts and prose-
cute this man. Ia face of the fact

Burying A Town.

A town that never has anything to
do in Il public way is on the road to
the cemetery. Every citizen who
does nothing for his town is helping
to dig the grave. The man who
curses his town furnishes the coffin IL.
The man who is so selfish as to have
no time from his business to give TO
the city affairs is making the shroud i.
The man who will not advertise is
driving the hearse, The man who
is always pulling back from every
public enterprise throws the boquet
on the grave. Ths man who is so
stirgy to be always bowling hard
times breaches the funeral and sings
the doxology. Thus the town lies
buried from all sorrow and care

How to Secure Immigrants,

The Southern Farm Journal calls
attention to the fact that there is
some danger that in tie ardent de-
sire for immigration to the South a
great deal OF energy may be wasted
in talk and gatherings to whoop it
up, when some practical methods
are needed by business men bring
ing force TO bear upon Legislators to
get them TO see the necessity Of the
establishment of State bureaus fully
equipped financially and otherwise
to bring in desirable additions to
the productive forces Of the State.
1t also suggests that the most of
the taking must be done to the de-
sired immigrant by some qualified
person in order to get him here,
while the folks at home may spend
their energy in insuring satisfaction
to the newcomer with his surround
ings.-Orando Star.

Last week, it is said, that Floyd
went into E. J. Crosswhite's hardware
store, and presented a check for SIS

Crosswhite cashed the check and the
boy got a box of shotgun shells.
The check was not taken to the
bank until Saturday, and not returned
as a forgery until Monday. The mat
ter was reported to the police, but as
Mr.. Crosswhite did not have a good
description of the boy nothing could
be done. The name on the check was
Fred Wilcoxson, and the boy, it is
said. claimed that was his name, and
said Mr.. Hatcher had given him the
check for work.
Yesterday afternoon a second boy
appeared, and presented a check at
the same store for Sc. The payee was
the same, Fred Wilcoxson. Mr.. Cross
white questioned him. and this boy
said that was his name and his broth
