hams Vegetable Compound is the most successful remedy for all kinds of female troubles, and I feel that I can never praise it enough. MRS. LIZZIE HOLLAND, Noah, Ky.
 The Changeof Life is themostcritical period of woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain.
 Womeneverywhere shouldremember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so osuccesSfullyc carry women through this trying period as Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from native roots and herbs.
 For 30 years it has been curing women from the worst forms of female ills inflammation, alteration, dis placements, fibroid tumors, irregulari- ties, periodic pains, backache, and nervous prostration.
 If you would like special advice about your case write a confiden- tial letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free, and always helpful.

WHAT WIFE SAYS GOES"
But 1t Sometimes Is Bad for the
 Painting.

When a property-owner knows noth- ing about paint it is bad for the property and bad for the paint CT. It would not be so if the property owner would always hire a skilled painter, and then really leave every thing to him. But the house-owner so often fools himself on one or the other of these things.
 The skilled painter in every commu. nity has some of the most incompetent competitors that ever veXed a consci. entious workman or contractor, and the incompetents get jobs generally by working cheap. In the next place, when the skilled painter is hired. they do not leave everything to him, as SC many property-owners boast they do.
 They interfere most ignorantly and most fatally. They insist sometimes on using paint materials without in yestigating whether they are good or not. Or perhaps they insist on the painters hTrying the work
 I'm not going to have that painters mess around my house a month," the wife says, and what wife says goes at the cost of lot of wasted painting money.
 If the painter stays away a few days to allow the paint to thoroughly dry the owner says: That painters neglecting this work-guess he's side tracking me for Jones work I won't stand it.
 What chance does a painterhave to do good work for man who is continually nagging at him and otherwise handi- capping him (without meaning it, of course)? A poor job is the inevitable result of such interference.
 Poor painting costs the houseowner money-don't forget that. It might pay you to get the practical paint book, painting specifications and in- strument for detecting paint adul- terants, which National Lead O. are offering under the title of House Owners Painting Outfit No. 49 Ad- dress National Lead Co, 1902 Trinity Bldg, New York City.

DIDN'T REALIZE How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments.
 The drug-caffeine-in coffee and tea, is very like uric acid and is often the cause of rheumatic attacks which, when coffee is used habitually, become chronic.
 A Washington lady said, recently:
 T am sixty-five and have had good deal of experience with coffee. I con- sider it very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure it causes decay of teeth in children.
 When I drank coffee I had sick spells and still did not realize that coffee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism in my arms and fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep, and was all run down.
 At last, after finding that medicines did me no good, decided to quit cof- fee entirely and try Postum. After using 1t six months I fully recovered my health beyond all expectations. can sleep sound and my rheumatism is all gone" There's a Reason"

DIX SchoolS Erected at Little Rock During 1eoa-Many New Public
 Buildings Completed and Streets of State Capital Improved
 Little Rock.-The annual report of the Superintendent of Public Works shows marked improvement in pub lie buildings during the past year
 sSix school buildings have either been erected or added to during the year:
 Parham school, costing. ,000 Mitchell school, costing. g... 14,00O Peabody Annex, costing. .. $500 Little Rock College gymnasium,
 costing 15,0O0 M. w. Gibb (negro) school,
 costing 31,000
 By far the finest building to be erected during the year is the library at Seventh and Louisiana streets. Per init for this building called for an expenditure of $71,O00, and the struc- -ture is rapidly being finished.
 Two other important buildings were the new three-story Terminal hotel opposite the union depot, at cost of S2S,000, and the renovation of the old Capital hotel, which was entirely re- modelled into one of the finest and prettiest buildings of the South at a cost of S50000, exclusive of any of the furnishings.
 The Hunter Memorial chapel has been completed, and work was started on the new Christian Temple at Tenth and Louisiana streets.
 While the year 1907 was the most progressive from the improvement standpoint in the citys history, 1908 was not by any means a backward step nor a year in which the city stood still, notwithstanding the ex- ceedingly stringent financial condi- tions prevailing The total receipts for 1908 notwithstanding the hard times, show an increase of $SS515 over 1907, and s962S7 over 1906, while the expense of the department show a decrease of $219S6 under the ex- penses of 1907, and $1,96178 under 1906
 The city now has a total of nearly 27 miles of paved streets and 162 miles of graded streets. It is esti- mated that. the city has only a total of 1S9 miles of streets. During 1908 8 great deal of sewer and pavement was put in. Many elegant private residences were built and in many ways the state capital made excellent progress in taking her place among the foremost cities of the new South.

NEED HEADQUARTERS.
Daughters of the confederacy Want to Secure Meeting Place in Little
 Rock City Hall.

Little Rock.-The Little Rock chap ter of the Daughters of the Confeder- acy wish to use the south room on the third floor of the Little Rock city hall as headquarters and has volun- teered to finish the room if the coun- cil will give it to them. An estimate of $1,000 has been placed on the work necessary to complete the room in accordance with the finish put in the other rooms of the building.
 None of the third floor of the Little Rock city hall has been finished ex- cept the rotunda and railways. The south room is the most available for the purpose and can be made ready at less expense than any of the north rooms This would make a very cred itable room for use as headquarters for the Little Rock branch of the or ganization.

CHAPTER XIV
THE LAST ENcIkANTMENT

THE tallest eculyptus top was all

with sun when Flora came out
of the house in the nfrning. She
stood a space looking at that little
cone of brightness far above all the
other trees. swaying on the delicate
sky 1t was not higher lifted nor
brighter FURNISHED than her spirit then.
Shorn of her locket chain, her golden
pouch. free of her fears, she poised
looking over the garden. Then with
a leap she went from the veranda to
the grass and, regardless of dew,
skinned the lawn for the fountain and
the rose garden.
There she saw him-the one man
already awaiting her. He stood back
to back with messy nymph languish-
ing on her pedestal, and Flora hoped
by running softly to steal up behind
him, and make of the helpless marble
lady a buffer between their greetings
But either she underestimated the
nymph's bulk, or forgot how Invariably
direct was the mans attack; for turn
ing and seeing her, without any cir
convention, with one sweep of his
long arm, he included the statue In his
grasp of her. With a laugh of triumph
he drew her out of her concealment.
To her the splendor of skies and
trees and morning light melted into
that wonderful moment. For the first
time in weary days she had all to
give. nothing to fear or withhold. She
was at peace She was ready to stop

so untried to her, as if these ecstasies

a trembling premonition of the un-
dreamed of things that We're waiting
