On the Girls Day Off.

"If my name did not sound like 2 page of Irish history 1 would be pretty sure to get that c. o. D. package to- morrow afternoon" said the pretty girl. But since it does sound that way I shall very likely not get it be- fore Friday morning That is because tomorrow is Thursday and most store- keepers feel rather dubious about de livering c. o. D. packages to anybody with a down stairs name on Thursday afternoon The down stairs name is pretty apt to belong to a down stairs girl. It is her day of social activity. and what her employer will do with the c. O. D. bundle is problem. Some receive it, others send 1t back to the store for next days delivery but even those who pay the bill and take the package in do it with poor grace and afterward take out their revenge or .he store as well as on the girl. De- livery wagons have had to make sn many extra trips on account of Thurs, day afternoon holidays that many ttorekeepers now hold suspicious pack ages over until Friday"

LIGHT ON JAPAN'S
 PLANS IN MEXICO
STATEMENT OF BARON ISHII, MADE SEVERAL YEARS
 AGO, IS RECALLED.
tepec Railroad Across Isthmus.

Houston, TeX-Baron Ishii, when III the United States from Japan in Sep tember, 1907, as the special envoy Of the time was chief of the bureau Of commerce and communication for the Japanese government, made a state ment to a Houston Post representa- tive which, though an apparently in- nocent statement at that time, taken in connection with events now going on. was very significant.
 This statement disclosed that Japan was on a deal at that time to secure control of the Tehuantepec National railway in connection with a line of Japanese steamships from Santa CrIz to Japan. That the deal was consum- mated later developments would seem to prove.
 ''It can readily be seen,' stated Baron Ishii, discussing the question, that there will be great saving by a shortening of the route when it is stated that by this route there is saving of from thirty to sixty days from New York to San Francisco by ship, this route cutting off the long haul around South America. It will oe the same saving from Galveston to Japan."
 Within few months after Baron Ishii made the above statement a Jap anese steamship line between Mexican ports and Japan was installed. and Texas cotton began to move over the Tehuantepec National railway for delivery to the steamship line. This service has been in operation ever since that time. This signifies that the deal discussed by Ishii was con summated.
 Recently a special telegram to the Post from the City of Mexico, purport- ing to be from the authority of finan- cier close to Diaz, and who, it was stated knew everything that was go ing on, brought the intelligence that there was secret treaty in exis
 between the governments of Japan and Mexico, and that the Mexican gov ernment had granted certain conces- sions and railway rights and port rights to the Japanese government
 All these things, taken in connec- tier with the rush movement of the United States troops and vessels of the navy, and more especially bring ing of heavy artillery to Galveston, is an evidence that the Washington eff cials deem the situation of more gray ity than the mere patrolling of the border to prevent the sending in of contraband of war from this country to the aid of the Mexican insurgents.

MAN IS SLAIN BY
 HIS INSANE WIFE
MRS. BETHEA SHOOTS HUSBAND WHILE HE IS COOKING HIS
 BREAKFAST.
Couple Quarreled Previous Night There Were No Eyewitnesses, the
 Story Being Tcld by Her.

Warren.-Lee Bethea, who lived in Vick, small town in Bradley county, was killed by his wife at their home, the weapons She used being a shot gun and knife. There were no eye witnesses to the killing, the only statement of the facts being made by her at the coroner's inquest. Friends of the family say that the woman is insane and that will be her defense when the case is tried.
 According to her story, the couple had homesteaded a place on the Sa- line river and had built home. They had not gotten along well, and the night before the killing they had a violent quarrel. Next morning when he was shot by his wife, who was standing in an adjoining room. He ran out into the field and she fired again. He fell and she ran to him and stabbed him with a knife.
 He was still alive and managed to crawl to the house. She went into the house, also, and reloaded the gun. Bethea was sitting on the steps of the house with blood streaming from his wounds, when the woman fired on him from the rear, the load taking eff feet in the back of his head, blowing his brains out
 At the c9roner's inquest the woman was held to the grand jury without ball. She told the facts as stated tc the coroner.

DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION FAILED. TIE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY
 PROVES ITS MERIT

It gives me great pleasure to say a good word fer Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root be- cause 1t has cured me of a severe case of Kidney Trouble. I had suffered for some five years with this trouble, and more especially for the first three months of 1909.
 Physicians prescribed for me, but with out much success, and any relief obtained was only temporary. I had severe pains in my back and at no time was I free of pain. When 1 stopped down it was with some difficulty that 1 could straighten my body again. I could not lift any weight of consequence without great pain. I would be compelled to arise and give the bladder relief. A friend of mine advised me to take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, whereupon I wrote to Dr. Kilmer for sample bottle which so benefited me that I was led to believe it would be great help to me. Accordingly I pur- chased two bottles of Swamp-Root from Mir. A. P. Perry, my Druggist, and the effect has been truly marvellous.
 l feel like a new man and have every reason to believe that I am cured, and that no other medicine could have accom- pished so much. Now I can raise a heavy load, can bend my back over my desk all day, and feel none the worse for 1t. In view of the foregoing facts, sincerely trust that this testimonial may reach some of those who are suffering after the manner before described and that it may convince them that the merit of this great medicine should be given a fair trial in their case.
 Very truly yours,

lTCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

T suffered from the early part of December until nearly the beginning of March with severe skin eruptions on my face and scalp. At first I treated it as a trivial matter. But after having used castillo soap, medi- eated washrags. cold cream, vanish ing cream, etc., found no relief what ever. After that I diagnosed my case as eczema, because of its dry, scaly appearance. The itching and burning of my scalp became so intense that I thought I should go mad, having not slept regularly for months past, only at intervals, waking up now and then because of the burning and itching of my skin. Having read different tes- timonials of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, I decided to purchase a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. After using them for a few days I recognized a marked change in my condition. I bought about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all, and after few days I was entirely free from the itching and burning. My eczema was entirely cured, all due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment daily. Hereafter I will never be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on my washstand. I highly recommend the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf- fering from similar skin eruptions and hope you will publish my letter so that others may learn of Cuticura Remedies and be cured" (Signed) David M. Shaw, care Paymaster, Pier 55, N. R., New York City, June 2, 1910.

One of the most remarkable proofs of the unusual laxative merit contained in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is that It Is effective not only in people in the prime of life, but at the extremes of ages. As many letters are received from mothers regarding the cures of children. as from men and women of sixty, seventy and eighty years of age It must be truly a wonderful laxative.
 In the cure of constipation and bowel trouble in old people 1t has no equal. It corrects the constipation, dispels the head ache, biliousness, gas, drowsiness after eating, etc. People advancing in years should see to it that their bowels move freely. and if they do not 10 take Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw Pills will be sent free to anyone on re- quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d & J2erson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are iEneed of medical advice, do not fail to write Professor Munyon. Your conimuni- cation will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as care fully as though you had personal inter- view.
 Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike all other laxatives or cathartcs. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods They do not SCOUT, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they Hdo start all the secretions of the liver and stomach in way that soon puts these organs in healthy condition and corrects constipation. In my opinion constipation is responsible for most ail ments There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really sewer pipe. When this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, caus- ing biliousness, indigestion and impure blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver ailment can expect to have clear complexion or enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the sale of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and so paralyze the bowels that they re- fuse to act unless forced by strong purgatives.
 Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; they en- rich the blood instead of impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it.
 These pills contain no calomel, no dope; they are soothing, healing and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic.
 Regular size bottle, containing 45 pills, 25 cents. Munyon's Laboratory, 53d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia.
