HUSBAND AND WIFE QUARREL
And Die - Wife Thought Husband
Had Left Her.

New York, Aug. 19.--Believing
that her husband was about to leave
her forever, Mrs. Edward H. Hacker
committed suicide to-day by shooting
herself. Her husband, who had bade
her goodbye after series of alter
cations and started from the Hague
Court apartments, where they lived,
heard the shot and ran back to the
fiat. Upon beholding the lifeless body
Of his wife he was overcome WIFI l
grief and remorse, and, locking the
door Of the apartment, he picked up
the revolver with which she had
killed herself and ended his own life
by shooting himself three times.
When the superintendent of the
building and employees broke down
the door they found the husband and
wife dead, Hecker with his arms
clasped about his wife's neck and his
lips close to her cheek. as though he
died while trying to kiss her.
For a day and night Hacker and
his wife had been quarneling. They
had been married little less than
two years, and it seems Hacker was
insanely jealous of his wife. Hacker
was employed by the Mccall Pattern
Company, and is said to have been
well-to-do.

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia i. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world remedy for their pc.
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Kuff, of 516 NC. ST..
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
mSoaS ~ huuch W mo tnut IOr the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help, No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed It, and can truly cay that
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Nrs. Pinlsham's advice re.
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women" a
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

Many years ago Eastern farmers
sold their farms at high prices to buy
cheap Western lands. Now some far
mers in the West are selling high
priced land and are buying the cheap
and abandoned farms of the East.
Massachusetts and Connecticut, it is
said, have plenty of such farms, and
that enterprising Western farmers
are the purchasers.

Profit -. .$3,195 90
Now, our friend admitted that It
would require 1000 pounds of fer
tilizer per acre to get the bale OF cot
ton. We prefer to use this same
amount on our. crops, and with this
our yields are not too high. We do
not know how he figured the results,
but If we are not fair we stand open
to correction. We counted nothing
for food or peas, but we have taken
off the former and allowed all peas
grown in the corn to cover the latter
We thought cotton would figure out
best, but If other crops are given
same land and same amount of ferti-
lizer, you can figure all you want to,
and at present prices they will bring
just as remunerative prices as cotton
and any crop can be grown. cheaper.
You can grow crop Of oats and pea
vines for less than a cotton crop.

WHICH WILL PAY BEST ?
To Plant 100 Acres in Cotton or to
Plant Corn and Grain !?
(sonthern Cultivator.)

y. 5.
There has always been tendency
among many farmers to argue and
hgure that 1t pays to grow cotton and
buy all supplies. 1t figures out well
though human experience does not
corroborate these figures. The above
query was put to us last week by a
very successful farmer with the re-
quest that we answer it. We will try
to be just and fair, and we are going
into the proposition not knowing how
1t will come out.
We do not wish to see one-crop
system of farming, and we are glad
to state that the one putting the ques
tion grows his own food stuffs and
some to sell. AS our friend puts it,
so we Will figure 1T. The result would
be something like this:
Or.
100 bales cotton a .10c.. $4,000 90
80 bales cotton seed @ Sc. $40 90

Cleburne Chronicles: The life of an
editor is not all roses. If he pleases
one faction he displeases the other.
He is accused of saying too much
about some one and too little about
another. If he suggests remedy for
any social evil a large part of the
community is profuse and its express
sions Of disapproval. So he taxes
his weary brain to escape the shoals
that mean shipwreck to many editors.
The editor who begins his career de-
termined to please all the people all
of the time will make failure of it.
The only logical course is to do in ev-
cry case that which appears to be
honest and honorable and to avoid
those things which are neither honest
nor honorable. he will offend some
by this policy, but not so many as he
might otherwise. --GalYeston News.
