A LITTLE HAND

Perhaps there are tenderer, seetef
things,
Somewhere, in this sunbright-land,
But | thank the Lord for His blessings
And the clasp of a little hand.
A little hand, that softly
Stole into my own that day
When needed the touch that l loved
50 much
To strengthen me on the way.
Softer it seemed than the softest
down
On the breast of the gentlest dove.
But its timid press and its faint caress
Were strong in the strength of love.
1t seemed to say. in strange, sweet
way;
81 love you-I understand.
And Gained my fears while my hot
heart-tears
Fell over that little hand.
Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter
things,
Somewhere in this love-lit land,
But | thank the Lord for His Bless
ings
Aid the clasp of little hand.

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. It has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fiatulency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If you would like special advice
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free OF
charge.

BuLLFIGHTlNe UNPOPULAR.

Queen Victoria of Spain, successful
in ner efforts to have the once pOpu-
lar military custom of duelling placed
under the ban, now purposes to have
the barbarous sport of bullfighting
stopped. Horrified by the scenes of
the favorite national diversion, she
has declared her determination to end
the cruel sport.
With this promised reform comes
the newssthat Adres Osuna. Director
of Public Education, has asked the
state government of Coahuila, Mexico,
to enact an order prohibiting school
teachers and children from attending
bullfights. Senior Osuna believes that
witnessing such brutal exhibitions as
bullfighting tends to harden the minds
of students and make them unfit for
citizenship.
The bull ring, contends Senior Osuna,
has been responsible for the decline
of Spain as a world power.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.

Lewiston, Me-, Journal. speaking of
prohibition, the Maine brand is a mild
article compared with the new Kansas
law which has just gone into effect.
There was a report a few weeks ago
that this law was so severe that it
made it a crime for man to drink
his own liquor from his own bottle 1t
is not quite so harsh as that, but it
comes near. He may drink in the priv
acy of his home, so far as appears, but
not at his club or in a railroad train
or other public conveyance or public
place
According to a synopsis of the law
at hand, nc alcoholic liquors can be
SOLD in the state for any purpose, not
even on a physicians prescription or
o save your life. No public agencies
are provided for supplying liquors for
medicinal purposes. The old law al
lowed druggists to sell for such pur-
poses, but they cannot now legally fill
a prescription calling for alcoholic
liquor as an ingredient. Not only is
the sale of it absolutely forbidden, but
the display of liquor on the shelves is
made prima facie evidence of intent OF
unlawful sale and the keeper is sub
ject TO arrest.
It is reported that the state assocla-
ton of druggists purposes to test this
provision in the courts

mere is no middle course be-
tween resolute maintenance of the
legal barrier between the races and
complete acceptance of the prin-
clple OF amalgamation. If the legal
barrier we're ever removed, it would
mean such a relaxation of public
sentiment as would insure the very
rapid increase of the hybrid race
Inree or TOUR generations would see
the south brown mans land with
no doubt, rapidly narrowing white
arlstocracy. In another three or
TOUR generations the prevailing com
pleXlon of the north would be SEN
sibly affected, and. finally, the whole
American nation would be typicallv
negro1d, the pure white man being
the more or less rare exception.
For my part, I cannot but sympa-
thize with the sentiment that VIC
lently repudiates such contingency

can fall to be dismayed at the
thought of absorbing into the veins

zEkE WAS RIGHT.

Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture was discussing,
apropos of Memorial day, the work
to which the soldier turned at the
end of the Civil war.
MANY soldiers" he said, turned
to farming. Some of our best fruit
farms were started by old soldiers
who, finding their business gone at
the wars end, adopted a country
life perforce.
tThe made ingenious farmers.
Here is an example,: An Iowa man
employed boy to guard his straw
berry patch from birds. The ber-
ries-fancy fruit as big as peaches
kept disappearing, and the man
suspected the boy of eating them.
$50 one morning he came down
to the patch, looked it over, and
then said:
Il know you don't touch these
berries, my lad, but Zeke says you
do. Today I'll test you-just to con-
vince Zeke.'
He took out little lump of
chalk, and pretended to chalk the
boys lips; but really it was only
his finger that he rubbed over them.
Now" he said, when l come
down here this afternoon, we'll see
who's right about you, Zeke or l.
"And wen pretended carelessness
he tossed the chalk on the ground
ION his return, some hours later,
it was plain who was right. The
boys lips we're chalked with white,
stiff layer half an inch thick"
