MRS. LARAM0RE
 TELLS TROUBLES
Lady in Goodwater Describes Her Distressing Experience and Tells How She Was
 Finally Relieved.

Goodwater, Mo.-"Ever since l was a little girl" says Mrs. Riley Laramore "I was great sufferer from dyspepsia.
 lsuffered misery after eating, and had terrible heartburn.
 thought l had to suffer this way as long as lived, but when began to take Thedford's Black-Draught, in small doses, every night, the heartburn was all gone in a few days, and l could eat without distress.
 l took two small packages in all, and although that was some time ago, the dyspepsia has not returned.
 l speak a good word for Thedford's Black Draught whenever l have the op- portunity."
 If eating causes distress, we urge you to try Thedford's Black Draught. Ii cleanses the system, helps the stomach to digest its food, regulates the bowels, and stimulates the liver.
 It acts gently and Is without bad after effects. Tryit. Price 25c.

THE MAKING OF A VIRGINIAN
Diet Seems to Play Important Part In Making True Gentleman of
 Old Dominion.

The subtle connection which ex- ists between diet and the special characteristics of the various branches of the human race is point ed out by pr. George W. Bagby in ''The Old Virginia Gentleman" who says that Virginian could not be a Virginian without bacon and greens. He also tells some of the other things that must go to the making of true Virginian.
 He must have fried chicken, stewed chicken, broiled chicken and chicken pie; old hare, butter beans, new potatoes, squirrel, cymlins, snaps, barbecued shoat, roas'n ears, buttermilk, hoe-cake, ash-cake, pam cake, fritters, potpie, tomatoes, June apples, waffles, sweet milk, parsnips, artichokes, scrambled eggs, goober peas, fried apples, popcorn, persim- mon beer, apple bread, milk and peaches, mutton stew, dewberries. batter cakes, muskmelons, hickory nuts, partridges, honey in the honey comb, snappin' turtle eggs, damson tarts, catfish, cider, hot light bread and cornfeld peas all the time; but he must not intermit his bacon and greens.
 He must butt heads with little negroes, get the worst of it, and run crying to tell his ma about it; wear white yarn socks with green toes and yarn gallowses; make frog houses over his feet in the wet sand and find woodpeckers' nests; meddle wit the negro men at hog-killing time, and be in eyerybody's way generally upset beehives, bring wasps' nests into the house, and get stung over the eye by a yellow-jacket; watch setting turkeys; own a bench-leg flee and speckled shoat; wade in the branch; eat too many black-heart cherries; try to tame a catbird; call doodle-bugs out of their holes, and keep on eating bacon and greens.- Youths Companion.

EMBARRASSING MOMENT.

There is one young fellow in this city who will be careful about his ac- tions in the future. A few nights ago, while hilarious and indiscreet from the effects of too close an ac- quaintance with the flowing bowl, he stepped in an elevator of a down town building. Two young ladies there attracted his attention, and he managed to murmur:
 "Oh, you big blue eyes. I do like blue eyes,"
 The young ladies ignored him. 4 few minutes later he was talking tc a friend ill an office upstairs.
 'FYou'ye got to excuse me this time," his friend said. My wife is waiting for me down stairs"
 Huh: Your wife? Say, you don't mean to tell me one of those ladies down there is your wife?"
 There was a painful pause, fol lowed by nasty and voluble expIana- tions and apologies,

Official Stenographer at the Trial
Says the Woman Should Not Have
Geen Hanged.

Geen Hanged.
A dispatch from Cincinnati. Ohio
says:
Almost fifty years after the asas-
sination of Abraham Lincoln, the pen
Of Ben Pitman, pioneer OF stenogra-
ply. who acted as official stenogra-
pher at the trial of the conspirators
has revealed facts supporting his be-
lief that Mrs. Mary Surratt. the wo-
man hanged with three other con-
spirators, was innocent OF the crime
for which she was executed. The
statement was written by Pitman
Just before his death here a year ago,
and appears in the March issue Of a
Cincinnati magazine. A portion of
Pitman's statement Is:
That Mrs. Surratt, who was
hanged with three male conspirators
concerned in a plot to assasssnate
President Lincoln and other Govern
ment officials, was entirely innocent
Of any prior knowledge of or partici-
patton in those crimes Is. to my mind
beyond question My conviction Is
based on the following facts: That
as Official recorder OF the trial; as
having heard every word of the testi-
mony; as compiler of the published
volume, Lincoln Assassination Trial !;
more than all, as having previous to
the trial written down from the lips
of the principal witnesses their sto-
ries OF what they knew or about
which, in their employment of spies,
they learned. / have had the best
opportunity Of forming true opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of
Mrs. Surratt.'
The Statesville Landmark, COM
menting on the case OF Mrs. Surratt,
says:
THE Landmark had supposed that
it was a pretty generally accepted
fact OF long standing, that Mrs. Sur
ratt was really innocent but was an
unfortunate victim of the popular
wrath aroused by the assassination
Of Lincoln.
Mrs. Surratt, it may be stated for
the benefit of The Landmarks
younger readers, was living in Wash
ington when President Lincoln was
assassinated in April. 1865. She was
supposed TO be-and probably was
Southern sympathizer during the
war which had Just ended when Lin
coin was assassinated, and il was
charged that her house vas head
quarters for those who conspired TO
assassinate the President and that
she was a party to IT. She was con-
yicted and hanged.
This explanation is made for the
reason that not long ago a boy who
was a pupil IN a graded school in this
State was told by his teacher to write
q story The boy appealed to his
father and the latter. thinking 10
give him something out OF the CON-
mon. told him the story OF Mrs Sur
ratt. The boy wrote the story and
took 1t TO his teacher. but the latter
had never heard OF Mrs Surratt and
she turned the story down"
