ture in a descriptive way.
Allowing a few years for the de-
velopment OF foliage and the full

been described as rising out OF

meadows footing It. its terraces
adorned by stately and varied fol.

is the love of a free people whose

DEDICATION DAY.
The day set for the dedication of
the monument is September 80 of this
year aitnough there is still much work
to do before the monument will be
complete. The entire plans for the

members of this committee are. My

The hill on which the Monument
stands is being graded and formed
into terraces. on the west side there

Contractor John Skeeles OF Canton,

The Man with N Pistol

The man who carries pistol Is in
STATE of war and rebellion; lie should
be treated as an enemy of the public,
which so regards him. Many thoughtless
boys have no malicious intent in carry
ing a gun, but they pay heavily for
their folly often by using the weapon
in moment of passion. If they were
not armed their anger would pass off
and no harm would result.
Every days occurrence include shoot
ing by men, and even women whose
faults begin when they put pistols in
pockets. There is sudden excitement, a
disturbance growing out vi an unpre-
meditated incident, some one pulls
pistol and commits murder or man
slaughter Could those who have lost
their lives in such needless encounters
be assembled, they would form vast
multitude. The parent or teacher who

no longer full of Indians or savage
are no woods, and the world is not so
bad that men must be constantly arm

ilized community forbids the carrying
of concealed weapons, but few COM
munities enforce the law. New York
police driven to act by murderous
condition existing among the Italians
of the city, have been searching and
disarmi ing men and boys in the Italian
districts. There Will be universal sS M

An exercise in the study of style
and thought that sometimes affords
anu sement is to choose a fine passage
from some famous orator or writer,
suppress the name and submit to the
company the question. "Who is the
author?n We suggest that those inter-
esIed in oratory and in the great topics
of the time should try this upon some
passages of a recent famous public ut
terance. Take this for instance:
What Is needed in legislation is a
vigilant and effective control of cor
poratlons, so as to secure lust and
equitable dealing on their part toward
the public generally, toward their
smaller competitors and toward the
wage-workers in their employ.
Or take this:
The only way effectively to meet the
corporations is to give TO the executive
department of the Govern ment a more
direct and therefore more efficient SUI
pervislon of their management.
Or again third:
| believe that ali corporations EN-
gagged in interstate commerce should
De under the Supervision OF The Ma
tional Government.
Nine men in ten would say this is
Organism, and therefore it must be
from Bryan. And if anybody should
say this is from Mr., Roosevelt address
It Chautauqua he would be accused of
vilitying the Chief Magistrate.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and 1t is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound. made from native roots
and neros, is the exact medicine n
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most effi-
cient. 1t carries woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be good wife and mother.
