A WEAK WOMAN
and HER STORY
In Floral, Ark, Lives a Lady Who
Feels That Her Strength Was
Restored by Cardui.

Floral, Ark.-"I must speak a good
word for Cardui," writes Mrs. Viola
Baker, of this place.
"About a month ago was in very bad
health. was so weak and nervous that
| was not able to do my housework.
"My husband bought me one bottle Of
Cardui, the woman's tonic. took il ac-
cording to directions and now am in
good health.
81 think Cardui is fine tonic for weak
women"
And you are not the only lady who
thinks so, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written to
tell OF the wonderful benefit Cardui has
been to them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. II contains no glycerin
or other Misunderstanding ingredients.
II is just a pure, natural extract, OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate the womanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
All druggists sell Cardui.
See yours about it.

MISSION OF THE REssURRECTIoN

The door of the mission church
stood open, showing curtains of dark
Woolen texture within.
Vernon hesitated. There might he
somebody inside the church who
could direct her back to Carronlea.
But, glancing down the road. in the
dazzle of the low sun, she saw a
woman come out from a cottage
door and, looking up and down the
road as if in search of somebody,
imperiously beckon, as it seemed to
her. She glanced behind, to sec if
there were some one else upon the
way for whom the summons might
be intended; but there was nobody.
SO she rode on, ana checked Sui
tana at the open door of a cottage,
whence proceeded a wall of anguish
which struck with peculiar pain up
on the ear in the effulgence and
warm loveliness of the May evening.
The woman who had beckoned
to her came up close, looking in her
face as if disappointed that she
should be stranger. She was not a
cottager, so much was evident. She
was woman of perhaps thirty-five
who had evidently been a very beau
tiful girl. She was tall and finely
built. with yellow hair, which she
wore in a straight sweep across
her forehead. Her complexion had

on; and they began to descend the
road, which on this side was bare
and exposed. AS they went on, the
ugliness of their surroundings grew
more marked, and they began to
perceive in the air that acrid smoky
smell which one associates with a
brickfield. Here upon the clay there
was no more broom or heather or
pines. Mean lines of hedges grew
more and more dwarfish. Down be-
low them, the haze of smoke hung
over an unseen hollow, suggesting a
village.
The road wound about, down and
down, until Vernon began to real
ize that she must be very long
way from home. But as she had
no idea how to get back, she held on
her course, until, rounding a corner,
she was in full sight of extensive
bricklields, surrounded by clusters
of dwellings of the unsatisfactory
and makeshift description which the
sudden development of an industry
in a rural place calls into being.
BY the side of the road she was
descending were cottages, the little
front gardens full of wall-flowers and
narcissus and forget-me-not. Then,
to the left of the road, her eye
was caught by a sight less usual
than it should be in our land-a tan

peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the wells of morning
to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all glimmer, ant

And evening full of the linnets

Can one picture anything more
neautiful than the wild crab in full
bloom. against a blue and sunlit sky?
Vernon thought it would be diff
cult. She reined in the Sultana as
she reached the brow of the hill,
and sat as it were immersing herself
in the charm of what she looked up.
on.
Before her was spread a wide, lone
land, dipping away from her feet,
rising once more in the distance.
Over all the waste the broom was
afire, like Moses burning bush, in
clumps of ardent gold, blazing among
the turf and the soft dull green
heather and young juniper.
The hawthorn was so smothered
in white bloom as to conceal alike
foliage and stem-bridal bouquets
of ineffable snowdrift purity; they
raised themselves above the furze
and yellow genista, making glory
lnspeakable of gold and silver fra.

The Kosmos Klub entertained their
husbands with valentine party
Thursday evening at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Wallace. Fes-
toons of hearts were used in profusion
in the library and dining rooms, while
the score cards were great big hearts.
The tally cards were comic valentines
and caused much merriment. Every
thing suggested Cupid throughout,
but it was not until the refreshments
were served that the gentlemen real
ly arose to the occasion. An archery
contest afforded considerable amuse-
ment. The various committees work
ed very faithfully to give the hus-
bands lots of fun and an evening to
be pleasantly remembered. 1t is evil

That an editor of a country
paper is we'll cared for usually
goes without saying, but the way
the farmers are bringing in big
potatoes, cabbage and pumpkins
to the Pioneer office, is something
delightful. Not that the editor
is expected to subsist entirely on
a vegetable diet, but for the ,pur-
pose of showing the skeptical
what the country will produce.
