SuGadr Springs, Texas. July IT.
1.-The following address was issued
yesterday:
We believe this is the first time
this county has ever presented can
didate for governor and she never
did have an elective state officer;
though away back in the seventies
she was the banner county of Texas
in throwing off the yoke of the Davis
despotic power. We believe, too, this
is the first time that a mechanic has
been presented, and with the excep-
ton of Sui Ross we have never had
other than a lawyer for governor, for
more than forty-fve years. Now we
do not present man who can spend
thousands of dollars in getting an
Office that is only worth four thous-
and dollars year, nor do we pre-
sent man arrayed in costly apparel
and studded with sapphires and dia-
monds, but plain, honest and cap

Ask Your DruSSiSt

The great army of American druggists are mighty intelligent and wel-educated men.
 They know the properties of drugs and med cnes, and have experience with all kinds of troubles, which people come into the store to ask relief for.
 So their practical knowledge is very valuable, and their advice is worth great deal to all sick people
 If you know your druggist well enough to ask his advice for your female trouble, do so, and he will tell you that thousands of women have written letters telling of relief obtained from taking Cardu.
 In his experience he has heard and read of many cases of female weakness. which have been re- lieved or cured by Cardu. So, when you ask his opinion, he will not offer a prescription. but will probably say: "7dke CvdG" And you will do well to follow his advice.
 Cardui is advised In ali the common forms of womany trouble due to disorders peculiar to females
 It has been found to relieve or prevent head ache backache, side ache dragging sensations. nerv- ousness. durability, reguarity. and general female weakness and misery.
 Many thousands of sick ladies have been re- stored to health. by the use of Cardui, and have written to tell of the good 1t did them.
 Cardu is composed of pure, vegetable ingred- ieCtS-hence has no harmful effects, like many mineral Gompounds It acts gently and naturally, is good for young and old and should be in every lady's home, even not an invalid. to take during her bad days.

rend Edward Cave became seriously alarmed
 The first thing on Monday morning the Rector dispatched telegram to Mir. Levin and Dr. Marsh. bidding them to lunch. and to discuss an af fair of importance; and when the two somewhat bewildered gentlemen arr rived, he said
 T want you to go together on some made-up excuse to the Grange. and what your opinions may amount to, but. for my own part. I think the girl Is dying"
 The subsequent verdict of the visitors was not so alarming, but pr. Marsh frankly admitted that he was shocked by Miss Forde's appearance The girl was analmic, nervous, and altogether out-of-sorts.
 If she goes on as she is doing" he said. she will develop consumption or melancholia-if not both"
 "Is there any reason who she should go on as she Is dolng?" demanded MT. Cave with heat. What Is the good of the girls thousands, if she is all lect! As to those two old Jubbers. with their sour selfhshness, and sav- ings, and schemes. I have no patience with them. She must be got out of their claws, and at once! Come. Levin. you are my co-trustee-exert yourself!"
 After a solemn conference 1t was decided that Miss Hester must be sent away to a milder climate as soon as a fitting chaperon could be discovered. MT. Levin knew a lady, a connection of his wife's, who went abroad each winter. and who he fancied might be inclined to chaperon young lady for 6 consideration. She was about forty. a widow. bright, energetic, and popular. He would make inquiries that very night. Meanwhile. Dr. Marsh ordered the invalid a tonic. and com manded her to extend her constitu- tionals beyond the fields.
 Jane Jubber was much ruffled by the visitation. and furious with the doctor who had spoken his mind: but the villagers declared that 1t was time something was done for the poor young lady-who was seemingly going queer! People in the fields had heard her talking to herself. and "she was cer- tainly getting a bit 'gaumless' (silly)."
 Towards the middle of October all arrangements had been completed by Miss Forde's trustee. and in spite of the warlike protestations and angry denunciations of the Jubbers. and the wretched girls own obious reluctance. she was carried of by her chaperon to the South of France.

an not one of those who insist that everybody should mind his own busi- ness; that is too harsh doctrine One of the rights and privileges of gocd ncighbor is to give neighborly advice. But there is a corresponding right or the part of the advisee. and that is to take no more of the advice than he thinks is good for him. There is ore thing that a man knows about his own business better than any outsider. and that is how hard it is for him to do It. The adviser is always telling him how to do it in the finest possible way, while he poor fellow, knows that the paramount issue is whether he can do L at all.

 Have you toy"~ he began. The clerk was putting box on the shelf. She turned weary white face to at tend to her late customer.
 "Beryl"
 The cry rang across an ocean of cotton cats and paper elephants heap ed on dozen counters. A little rat ting crash followed. and then the voice of a clerk crying, "Oh, MT. Headman Miss Bayswinter has faint ed again.
 The manager hurried up. Miss Bayswinter lay very white and limp across the arms of the tall customer.
 No one noticed the little German waif scuddlng away with two white cotton cats and a Teddy bear in her pinafore.
 Send for the ambulance. some of you. Miss Bayswinter will get her discharge in the morning. This faint ing is getting altogether too ire quent," the manager said sharply.
 Where does this lady live:' John Loftus asked. q will take her home in carriage"
 "Oh, rooms somewhere. We'll send her to the hospital Don't trouble yourself

Aesop Up to Date,

A Hare, meeting Tortoise one day. remarked as he looked at the Tor toise's heavy shell and short feet, "l think I could beat you In a race"
 "All right" answered the Tortoise "lt is not every race that is won by a hare"
 At the hour appointed for the contest the Hare soon left the Tortoise out of sight and, feeling sure of winning, lay down by the roadside to take a nap. After a half hours sleep and rest he resumed the race. But the Tortoise had turned into wayside garage and hired an automobile. and so he soon overlook the fleet footed Hare.
 The Hare was going at the limit of his speed. but the Tortoise was going at the speed limit and won the race by three miles and seven laps.
 When the Hare, in the course of time, arrived at the post he said. with T sigh, You'll never catch me in an endurance race again."

 What he saw was rocky hillside pasture, with myriads of Canada this ties and barefooted boy picking his way among them at the heels of a struggling little line of home going cows.
 "O-u-u-oo, but l can feel those this ties yet. How like sin they did punish my bare brown feet. Mother was no, feeling well when I went after the cows-my blessed. darling mamma.

Oh, I can see her now-the folds of her f1lmy white dress. the little blue slippers with the straps over the an kles. the long golden curls aud the pitying violet eyes.
