A SKELETON
ONCE ON A TIME
Now Mrs. /. A. Decker Of Clyde,
Ky, Says She is Well and
Happy, Through Taking
Cardui.

Clyde, Ky.-"I can safely recommend
Cardul, the woman's tonic, TO any lady
who is in need of medicine" writes
Mrs. l. A. Decker, of this place.
1T has been very beneficial to me
and l can say that there is nothing
like it for weak women.
For five years was not able to do
my work. Half of my time spent in
bed. l suffered with female weakness
and took such nervous spells | could
not stand on my feet. | suffered with
my back and side, and fell off till be-
came a skeleton.
AT last took Cardui and now | am
we'll and happy and can do my own
work"
Cardui is prepared from the natural
plant, not from mineral, synthetic COM
pounds, and contains no coal tar prod
ucts or other results Of laboratory ex-
Ieriments.
The Cardui ingredients are imported
at great expense directly from abroad
and have been used for nearly half
century in the manuiacture of this IA
nous tonic medicine for women.
Safe, reliable, prompt, yet gentle in
action, by preventing unnecessary
pain and building up strength, Cardui
has shown itself a necessary remedy
for weak women. Try it.

SAM HOUSTON AND ELIZA ALLEN

wife, people predicted that Houston's
star would rise to unequaled height.
Then something happened. No one
knows what. But shortly after the
| wedding the whole state was scandal
iZed to learn that bride and groom had
separated. Not as the result of a
petty lovers quarrel that could be
readily patched up-but that they had
parted forever. Neither Houston nor
his wife would tell what had caused
the sudden break in their supposedly
happy relationship But while the
bride returned to her fathers house,
Houston resigned his governorship,
gave up his hard won honors and gold.

friends argued. pleaded and stormed
in vain. He was set on throwing away
his future and would not tell even his
most intimate friends why he did so.
The secret of Houston's separation
from his wife remained a mystery,
and remains so to this day. That
the cause was terribly serious may be
judged by the fact
that he not only

as anything but an Indian.
Yet to Houston's parting from his
wife the United States owes the an

began, and, for his fierce loyalty to the
union was deposed from office.
When the secession of Texas was
announced and his own son entered
the confederate army, Houston said to
his wife: my heart is broken!" Two
years later he died; his last gasping
word being the name of the beloved
state he had built up and so wisely
governed, and which had at the last
deposed him.

The love story of Napoleon III and

Eugene was the daughter of an i'm

Louis became emperor he met
Eugenie much more often than

This is love story with strange
ending. Many of it's facts are shroud-
ed in mystery and will never be
known. A hundred guesses have been
made in explanation of it's hidden in
cldents. But the full truth remains
forever in the graves of the man and
woman who enacted the unusual little
drama.
Sam Houston, pioneer and son of a
pioneer, had been intended for a
storekeeper He had a soul for ad-
venture and loathed mercantile life
SO as a boy he ran away to the In
dlans, was adopted by them, and
learned from the tribesmen all the
Wondrous art of the wilderness. When
tne war of 1912 broke out Houston
was not yet 20. Yet he fought with
reckless courage that won him many
wounds, not a little glory and the
lifelong affection of Andrew Jackson,
under whom he served. The war over

changed his whole life.
While he was governor of Tennessee

beautiful daughter of rich Nashville
man. Miss Allen was local social
queen, and was the acknowledged
Delle of that part of Tennessee. Hous-

With a bum beginning and bungle- some finish, the Baronial forces met an- other Waterloo yesterday afternoon. The Lookout won. 5 to B.
 Wagner opened the engagement as con- mander-in-chief of the defeated hosts, and but for poor support would have emerged from the slaughter with the scalp of the Lookouts hanging to his belt. As it was, however, he was forced to retire from the field in the seventh, after having retired two of the visitors. Stockdale succeeded, and though he escaped unscratched in that round, he was punched a trifie too often in the inning which succeeded, the visitors making another rally on a. couple of hits, between which a stolen base was sandwiched.
 Bad" Bill Graham, the cratic south paw, erstwhile with Shreveport in this league, and later with St. Louis, started the battle for the visitors, but in addi- ton to having nothing. he was exceeding ly wild. He retired In the nick of time, and More, who succeeded, was rather an enigma, holding the Barons to exceeding ly few hits, and permitting them on no occasion to circle the sacks.
 There were no features to the game. McMahon at third made several stunt But there was nothing to cause the blood of the fan flock to flow faster or cause the escape of a screamlet from throats gone dry from cheering.
 Birmingham threw away an excellent chance to score in the first when Moles- worth, with two down, singled and stole. Mcbride smashed one safely to deep left. but poor coaching or poor judging held the manager on third, where he died.
 From that round until the sixth, it was a pitchers battle, with Wagner having a shade the better of the argument In the sixth, however, Johnson was walked and Yerkes singled. Perry hit to McGilvray, and when Large William heaved too late to third to catch a runner the bases were filed McLaurin then hit to Ellam. who booted, and Chattanooga had one run. Collins popped up to the infeld and for that offense was out, but when Ellam monkeyed with the ball and muffed, an other Lookout had an opportunity to reg ister Lister hit to Marcan, who, after bluffing to third, threw to McGilvray This was what Perry was waiting for, and he immediately made dash for the plate McGilvray's throw was bad and wild Perry landed.
 In their half of the sixth. the Barons tied the score. McGilvray singled through third and Ryan beat out bunt. Ellam's walk filled the bases. While Emery was going out to the infield, McGilvray scored Wagner's walk filled the bases and Mar cans hit to Yerkes was booted, Ryan and Ellam running over the platter.
 In the seventh, McMahon singled, stole and went to third on Ryan's error. John son hit to Emery, and McMahon was out in chase. Yerkes then singled, scoring Johnson Stockdale here succeeded ano after walking the first batter, struck out MeLaurin and retired the side.
 In the eighth, Collins singled and stole and scored on the hit of Higgins.
 The final game will be played this after noon. Covaleski and Schlitzer will be the opposing pitchers.
