Vice President in Role of a Guide

such places of interest as usually are
pointed out by the regular guides. An
interesting sight was that of Vice
President Sherman going about Statu-
airy hall and picking out the whisper
ing stones" upon which the girls were
told to stand. while Sunny Jim" ar
ranged that they should enjoy the
echo features of that part of the cap
itol. The party went into the house
of representatives, where Sherman
served for more than twenty years,
and the nOtables of that body were
pointed out to Miss Taft and her
school girl friends. Kennedy has been
known for years as the King of the
Capitol Guides" because he is so glib
and entertaining. He was told after
the vice-president had made his trip
about the capitol that Sherman could
easily put him out of the guide bust
ness if he should engage in that occur

Kansas Takes
1000 Overland Cars

Our agents in Kansas have ordered for
this season 1000 Overland automobiles.
Nebraska takes 750-Iowa 1,O0O-Texas
1000. Thus has the Overland-after one
years's eXperience-captured the farming
states.
1t has captured the cities, too. New
York City takes 1000 Overlands this year.
Boston takes 5G0-San Francisco 500
Washington 500-Philadelphia 450.
Our agents have contracted for 1000
OVerlands-fOr $4,000, 600 worth of Over

year. That's a larger sale than any 9TH

Yet, two years ago few had ever heard
of an Overland. This sensational success

|SILER CITY
LADY A VICTIM
Mrs. GiIIiIand, of Siler City, Was
Left in Bad Shape as a Result
of an Attack of the Grip.

Siler City, N. CT was in bad
shape" writes Mrs. Sarah J. Gilliland,
of this place, latter an attack of the
grip; was bothered with womanly
troubles, but since taking Cardui I am
much improved. 1t has done me more
good than the doctors and 1 feel it
saved my life, after all other methods
had failed.
II thank you for the good that Cardui
has done to me and hope every lady
who suffers will try it. 1 will recon-
mend it to my friends"
You can rely on Cardui being Of bene-
fit to you. It's ingredients are mild
herbs, having a gentle, tonic effect on
the female constitution. The special
herbs are grown abroad and imported
by US direct. They are not in the Phar-
macopeia, nor for sale at druggists,
except as put up by us, so you cannot
get the effect of Cardui, except by buy
ing Cardui, the woman's tonic.
No other medicine or tonic has ex-
actly the same results as Cardui, no
other has the record of so years of
successful treatments of cases of fe-
male weakness, debility and disease.
1t is certainly worth trying.

When Tempus Didn't Fuqit.

Little Helen, during the three years
of her life, had never been separated
from her elder sister night or day for
more than a few minutes at a time;
but at last the time came when the
sister went away for a whole day.
The child tried every game and occu-
patton hat she knew of, and a new
one or two suggested by her mother,
but they all palled.
Finally she gave up and stood and
looked sadly out of the window. Then
she sighed deeply and said:

WASHINGTON.-After a ~seven-year
w lapse during h Roosevelt adj
ministratiOn men are again giving
teas, because President Taft does not
consider tea drinking ~mollycoddish.
During the last year Of the Roose-
Welt administration men at teas were
very scarce. Even the diplomats who
were careless Of ROosevelt's vigorous

did not understand finally yielded to

but a handful of them to be present.
Teas in the afternoon practically were
wiped off the social slate.
Now this is all changed. Even the
United States army is becoming host
at teas, and Capt. Sherwood a. Cheney
gave a tea recently to Miss Roosevelt,
daughter of the man who believed that
an officer who would be host at a tea
was no soldier. The officers at Fort
Myer and the Marine barracks expect
soon to give teas.
That tea of Capt. Cheney was the
third big tea of the season, although
the first to be given by an American.
Two other large affairs were presided
over, one by the secretaries Of the
German embassy on the occasion of
the Emperor Williams birthday and
the other by the Marquis de Villalobar,
