This LADY'S
GOOD APPETITE
Mrs. Hansen, In a Letter From
Mobile, Tells How She Gained It.

Mobile, Ala.-"I suffered for seven
years, with womanly trouble" writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in letter from
this city. 81 felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last I was operated on,
and felt better, but soon I had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try Cardui.
l felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep
well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me I am looking better than he ever
saw me-"
If you are sick and miserable, and
suffer from any of the pains due to
womanly trouble-try Cardui.
Cardui is successful because it is
composed of ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman
ly constitution.
For more than fifty years, it has been
used by women of all ages, with great
success. Try it. Your druggist sells it.

MEMORANDUM FOR HUNTERS
Game Warden Shots Prepares In
formation Regarding Changes in
laws-Trespass Cost Cut.

Madison.-Game Warden Shots is
preparing a hunters memorandum
showing changes in the laws. The
deer season remains the same, No
vember 10 to 80. A change was
made in the bag limits for bird hunt
tiers. Hunters this season must OBJ
serve these restrictions: Grouse
prairie chickens or woodcock. five;
geese and brant, ten; cartridges, ten;
wild duck, mudhen, plover, rail or
rice hen, fifteen; mixed bag of game
birds, twenty.
Hunters who trespass will not
have as much to fear as formerly.
Wealthy gun clubs have encroached
on the favored hunting grounds to
such an extent that the legislature
decided to put an end to the game
preserve monopoly. 1t has been
usual for courts to fine trespassing
hunters small amounts, perhaps a
few cents, but the costs always made
such experiences disagreeable. The
new law limits the costs to an amount
not greater than that of the fine.
Deer were never more plentiful in
Wisconsin than they are this year,
according to Warden Sholts, and
this years hatch of partridge was
unusually large. Land owners in the
northern part Of the state have post
ed numerous ''No Trespass" signs
and sportsmen will find some diff
Guilty in shooting from ground not so
designated. This action is due to the
large number of domestic animals
killed yearly by hunters.

Superior. Differences which

That the boundary line should fol-
low the center of the main channel,
as indicated by the government maps,
is advocated by the Wisconsin COM
mission. Similarly the Minnesota
commission maintains that the
boundary in the st. Louis river, as
in Lake Pepin, should be midway be-
tween the two shores of the river and

The attorney generals of both
states will submit briefs on this
question, showing the general trend

CHAPTER TX.
The Girl of the Cabin.

He saw N9b drop down before the
blazing fireplace, and curl up like
tired dog, and observed her take the
lamp, open the door into the other
room a trife, and slip silently out OF
sight. He remembered staring vaguely
about the little room, still illumined
by the flames, only half ccmprehending,
and then the reaction from his des-
perate struggle with the elements
overcame all resolution, and he drop
ped his head forward on the table, and
lost consciousness. Her hand upon
his shoulder aroused him, startled in
to wakefulness, yet he scarcely real
lied the situation.

'You are from the SOUTH" he ex-

"Yes-and you?"
"My boyhood began in Virginia

She glanced across at the black,

Il thought he had once been a
slave; one can easily tell that. l did

you do not object, we will eat here
together. | have also been almost
as long without food. 1t was SO lone

my situation-and l simply could not
force myself to eat"
He distinguished her words clearly
enough, although she spoke low, as If
she preferred what was said between
them should not reach the ears Of the
negro, yet somehow, for the moment,
they made no adequate impression on
him. Like famished wolf he began
on the coarse fare, and for ten min
utes hardly lifted his head. Then his
eyes CHANGED to meet hers across the
narrow table, and instantly the gen.
tleman reawoke to life.
