I had bearing down pains, my health
failed me. and could not work on the
stage, and wasn't able to tend my baby
or even get around myself. I was
always downhearted and discontinued
with the world, and only lived for the
sake of my little girl. The doctor said
to move to some quiet little town away
from the noisy city, and might be able
to live and feel well, so I went to Day
vile in November. At that time was
SO sick could not walk around, andemy
husband kept house and I stayed in bed
One day in January read your adver-
tisement in a newspaper, and sent for
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and started taking it. Within
two weeks time was different wo-
man, could get around, and felt so good
that it was a pleasure to do my house
work. I felt contented and happy, and
now am the picture of health, and am
tempted to return to the stage. We
appreciate my health as the most pre-
cious thing on earth. Mrs. II. L.

TABOO OFF SOCIALISTS.

Berlin, March 24.-It appears that

HONESTY AND A
WARM HEART

she has her home in the country.
Comes to the city every two weeks or
so. Her parents are wealthy. I am
just the opposite, yet they show some
regard for me. Ought I to press my.
suit, only having honesty and a warm,
heart to offer her?''
Your principles are good, as no
doubt your love is true. First talk to
her parents. Tell of your ambition,
your willingness to work and make
god for her sake. You both have pIen-
ty of time to win love after two years

NO CHICKERING'S If YOU
WOULD BE HAPPY

G. H writes: ct have been escorted
oftentines by very nice young man
who visited me regularly: Is it proper
when he is tardy in his appointments
for me to invite him soon to return ?
should he ask me if he may continue
to return his visits, to apologize for a
few absences 2'
If it's necessary, you can accept his
apology. Most likely he will come
along evenings of his own accord.
There should be no upbraidings, no
chickering's for the sake of happiness.

Hal Lander

The many friends of the popu-
lar always Young lawyer whose
whole life was spent in Brook
field were saddened when he was
discovered dead in his room in
that city, death having come
suddenly and while he was alone
Wednesday of last week.
The only son of Judge Harry
Lander was a favorite in this
aection as well as his home city,
and while during the years in
which he let opportunity slip by
unnoticed or understimated he
was less among US than during
his earlier career, we felt and
exhibited the friendship of COM
panions whenever me met.
Hal was married and the faith
er of three children and the hus.
band of a most estimable woman
who was forced after years Of
tenderest devotion to return to
her home in Canada, to which
his re m aims s were taken and
inferred.
Those of US who delighted in
his friendship and companion
ship reflect only on his many
good qualities before ambition
appeared to have taken fight,
being spurned so often. We
will ever remember the hand
some, bright and friendly asso'
ciate as perhaps he might al
ways have been had he so chosen
and cherish the friendship he 81
lavishly bestowed.

Argus No More

Mr.. Harry Spencer was forced
to discontinue the publication OF
the Argus which he established
in Brunswick a few weeks ago.
Want of sufficient patronage and
the exceeding high cost of every.
thing which is necessary to get
out a newspaper, is said to have
been the cause of the failure.
Mr.. Spencer worked hard and
long and economized in every
way he could reasonably, but
conditions were against him and
while he did what he thought
was best to boost the progress
i've city on the Grand and was
encouraged by many warm
friends and admirers, fate was
against him.
He went to Richmond Monday
and accepted employment after

Do We Need It

For some time the leading
democratic paper in St. Louis at
times has been advocating re-
forms which it declares are not
only essential to the continued
success of the Democratic party,
but also necessary for proper
government of the people of the
state to an nabidiug belief in its
theory.
1t has heretofore remained to
faddists and those who profit by
the employment they get to urge
such moves and numerous
amendments to the constitution
have peen offered in past years
which have been promptly and in
some cases, overwhelmingly vot-
ed against. Has any one q
doubt what will hapen to a
proposed change in our constitu-
ton which is good enough for
the foundation of all the laws we
need?
The great trouble is that we
have entirely two many laws on
the statute books now and a dou-
bic sized Supreme Court is neces-
sary in additian to several courts
of appeal to interpret those
laws, knock them out or handle
them so that they belong in the
junk heap.
If the purposeof the paper re-
ferred to is to allow a few laws
which have beeu buried under
an avalanche of opposing votes
when offered in the form OF
amendments to get by, ther
there is no grounds for the dis.
turbance nor excuse for the
expense.

FELL DEAD FROM LADDER
Capt. James C. Wallace Obeys
Taps Was Active All Day
Head u. G. V.

O'Clock the word spread over the
city rapidly that Captain James
C. Wallace had fallen from a
ladder and was picked up dead
by a near neighbor.
W. D. Vaughan who lives in
the same block next south of the
Wallace premises and Captain
Wallace had bees to swarm just
after noon and the swarms of
each settled on a pear tree in the
garden of Capt. Wallace. They
busted themselves getting their
bees and Mr.. Vaughan left his
stand under the tree until after
supper when he went for it.
Capt. Wallace went to assist
him, and climed a IL foot ladder
to the third rung, taking a hoe
with him with which to pull the
limb down within reach, the
Vaughan bees having come out
of their hive and settled back
up in the tree.
Mr.. Vaughan was placing the
gum so that the bees could be
shaken down in front of it when
he heard a thud and looking
round, discovered Capt. Wallace
lying on the ground on his right
side and going to him immediate
ly inquired if he was hurt. No
answer and the appearance of
Captain Wallace convinced Mr..
Vaughan that something serious
had happened and he called to
Mrs. Wallace who was in the
yard at the front of the premises,
who Immediately summoned a
physician. Mr.. r. W. Cox who
lives across the street west saw
from his porch that there was
something wrong and ran over to
where Mr.. Vaughan was holding
Capt. Wallace in an upright
position when a few others and
DR.. Hughes arrived, but the
opinion of all is that Capt. Wal
lace was practically dead when
he fell from the ladder, appop-
lexy being assigned as the cause.
He let 60 of the hoe as he fell
and it remained hanging to the
limb, the ladder remained in its
position and it was apparent that
the victim of the fatal disease
had not met death by the fall OF
not more than four feet.
There was no more prominent
man in the community for years
than Captain James C. Wallace,
retaining his business relations
until the day of his death the
for several months he has beer
in failing health. He came tc
4 this city when a young man anG
= entered the practice of law. He
was a charter member of the
Farmers Bank of Charlton
County in 1880 and from its
organization has been its vice
president and until a few years
ago, the banks attorney. Hi
was the only surviving charter
member, his death taking away
the last of that body of men WHIT
organized one of the strongest
financial institutions in this sec
ton of the state.
Captain Wallace was com
mander of the U. C. V. post al
this city from the day of its
organization until his death, ant
was during two terms, prosecut
ing attorney for the county. HI
was a member of the law firm
Kinley and Wallace for yearl
until Mr.. Kinley went to Kansas
City for the practice Of law, ant
the death Of his former partnel
only a few weeks ago depressed
the survivor as would the loss O.
a near relative have done.

of Captain Wallace's career her,
was his unswerving honesty

pay we lose heavily in the aggregate
We are not only compelled to raise the sub
