FLOWERS USED AS EMBLEMS
Have Been Distinguishing Mark OF
Factions az Long az There
10 Record.

The determination of the loyal
Ulster men to induce every man. wom-
an and child to wear q flower as q
token Of their aversion to home rule
reminds one how often flowers have
been used as emblems.
Since the leaders Of the Yorkist
and Lancastrian parties each plucked
a rose In the Temple gardens. the Lam
castrian a red and the Yorhst white.
this flower has been popular emblem.
Apart from the fact that red roses
are symbolical Of love and white of
purity, the English national emblem
is the rose; the Legitimist party OF
France formed the League Of the Rose
in imitation of England's Primrose
league. while owing to Gladstone's
fondness for white roses many liberals
once wished to make them an emblem
for their party. but the idea Was not
adopted.

THE CHARM
OF MOT HERH00D
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
: self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist il going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

"a fool not to have remembered bis

A look. wolf.like and grim, had
sprung into the doctor's face. His eyes
searched the room, and he crossed the
floor and picked up something from

then thrust it hastily into his breast

"I-remember now. It was pistol.
He snapped 1t twice, but it missed

"He can't hide where wen not ana

terrible energy.

A big tear suddenly loosed itself
from the Doctors eyelid and rolled
down his cheek, and he turned hastily

At the sound Of wheels on the drive
Valiant went out quietly. Huddled il
corner Of the hall were Uncle JET
ferson and Aunt Daphne, with Jere
beam, the majors body-servant. Aun
Daphne, her apron thrown over hel
face was rocking to and fro silently.
and old Jereboam's head was bowed
on his breast Valiant went quickly
to the rear of the hall. A painful en-

swiftness of the tragic event he had
forgotten this. From the background
he saw Judge Chalmers lift down the
frail form. and suddenly his heart
leaped. There were two feminine fig
ures; Shirley was with her mother.
The doctor stood Just inside the IL
brary door and Mrs. cambridge went
hastily toward him, her light cane tap
ping through the stricken silence. Jere-
boam lifted his head and looked at her
piteously.

M'REYNOLDS GIVEN
CABINET SUPPORT
New Haven Situation Explained
by Attorney Genera-Re-
fused Bargain With Directors

Attorney General hcReynolds was
upheld in his handling of the New
Haven situation at today's meeting OF
the Cabinet He explained in detail
just what he has done and the steps
he had been forced to take. 1t is un-
derstood that he stated frankly that
certain directors Of the New Haven had
tried to secure immunity by making
promises to carry out to the most
minute degree tn. demand for dissolu-
ton Of the holdings of the corporation
which made 1t a monopoly throughout
New England. but that he had refused
to bargain.
He said that he believed criminal
prosecution of the big men in New
Haven was necessary and that he was
determined not to permit anything to
interfere with 1t. He also said that
lie believed it would be necessary to
push a dissolution suit under the Sher-
man law inasmuch as the directors
have gone back on their promise TO
dissolve the monopoly voluntarily.
Following the Cabinet meeting. the
Attorney General said that he would
issue a statement late today setting
forth all of the details of the New
Haven situation and outlining the
future plans OF the Department OF
Justice in connection with 1t.

to build il and do all the plumbing

out that one thing at a time done
by a special person made a better
house. and that II was easier for
him to earn the money TO pay them
than to try and ruin himself physi-

so.
But We women are still trying in

in this day and age that is a wicked
selfish thing TO do. Ever hear Of

Most housewives of today remind
