less preparation that has cured so
many women in the privacy of their
own homes after doctors and other
remedies failed.
It Is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure of leucor
rhea or whitish discharges, ulceration,
displacements or falling of the womb,
profuse, scanty or painful periods, ut
erine or ovarian tumors or growths;
also pains in the head, back and bow
els, bearing down feelings, nervous
ness, creeping feeling up the spine,-
melancholy, desire to cry, hot flashes,
weariness and piles from any cause,
or no matter of how long standing.
Every woman sufferer, unable to find
relief who will write Mrs. Miller now.
without delay,-will receive by mail free
of charge, a 50-cent box of this sim
ple home remedy, also a book with ex
planatory illustrations showing why
women suffer and how they can easily
cure themselves at home without the
aid of a physician.
Don’t suffer another day, but write
at once to Mrs. Cora B. Miller, Box

WHISPERING WINDS OF NIGHT.
By Emma G. Weston.
I stood in the wide gray twilight
As the fair day took its flight,
And heard through the summer silence
The whispering winds of night.
They swept through the listening for
est
Like the echo of a sigh,
And soft as a sea-shell’s whisper
The fir-trees made reply.
They stooped to the sleeping roses
With a secret I could not hear,
And the lilies bent to listen
As the wandering breath drew near.
They sang in the bending rushes,
And filled the fluttering sail;
And the soul of day departed
On the wings of the perfumed gale.
All fresh with the dew of heaven
They crept through the captive’s
bars,
And the heavy chains were lightened
By the message from the stars.
On the fevered brow of sorrow
They laid their fingers light,
And the world seemed hushed to listen
To the whispering winds of night.
O hearts bowed down with anguish!
O lives whence day has flown!
Give ear to life’s better meaning
On the twilight breezes blown.
For they breathe a well known lan
guage
If we could but hear aright;
And Nature soothes her children
In the whispering winds of night.

DREAMED OF “EARNEST WILLIE.”
Dear Editor:
I have thought of writing to Voices
of Youth for some time and since 1
dreamed last night of talking so pleas
antly with Earnest Willie I have gain
ed courage to make the attempt.
The dream seemed so real that when
I awoke I felt like I had seen and talk
ed with him personally. Though it
was not real it had the same refresh
ing power. Now I think that dream
is the reason I am writing because
it made me feel like I know him.
I am not strong enough to go to
school this year but hope to grow
strong enough to go next year. I have
a sweet, noble hearted sister who car
ries me to the mineral springs every
summer, when she finishes teaching
and I hope to improve rapidly when 1
go back this spring. She is teaching
at Conyers, Ga., this year, and it is
the first time she has been so far
from home since she was off in school.
I want very much to see her sometimes.
She is such a help to us, it is almost as
hard doing without her as being sick,
but I will have to be patient until
spring, and then I may get her and my
health back together. If 1 see this in
print perhaps I shall write again. With
every good wish for the editor and
Voices of Youth I will close for the
present.
MARY JOHN SEWELL.

THE OLD FLAG COMES HOME.
There is something very soothing to
the average man's patriotic pride in
the news that the brave old battle flag
of the Chesapeake has fallen into
American hands again. After having
reposed for nearly a century in the
Middlebrook collection, as a trophy of
England’s prowess, it was put up at
auction in Ixmdon, and was again the
center of an international contest for
The Golden Age for February 6, 1908.
its possession. But this time the hon
ors were all ours. The American bid
der went his British opponents one bet
ter every time. Patriotism outweighed
the purse in his estimation, and al
though it cost a pretty sum to get it,
it will come back to the land which
first spread it to the breeze. There is
no doubt the British wanted to keep
the historic old flag, and the remark of
the defeated bidder was a little ungra
cious when he said bitterly, afterward:
“It took American dollars to get back
what English valor took.’’ There is
a tiny flavor of sour grapes in that
speech.
The reports ascribe to various men
the honor of having bought back the
old flag for us, but it is not important
which one it was. The important thing
is that we have again that glorious old
banner which inspired a hero to defend
it with his life and cry, with his eyes
fixed upon it, in death: “Don’t give up
the ship!’’ Those colors were struck
to the Shannon only when heroism
could do no more. The words of Law
rence have been our battle cry in a
hundred glorious contests since, and
every American schoolboy from that
day to this has thrilled with the sound
of them. Lawrence’s colors should
stay in our hands as his heroic words
will stay in our hearts as long as we
are a nation. —The Washington Post.
STORY OF THE CHESAPEAKE.
The Chesapeake, originally a thirty
eight gun frigate, built at Norfolk, Va.,
in 1799, was partly repaired at the
Washington Navy Yard in 1807, and in
June of that year, under the command
of Captain Barron, poorly equipped
and insufficiently manned, she started
from Hampton Roads across the Atlan
tic on a training cruise. When well
out to sea she was stopped by the Brit
ish frigate Leopard, of fifty guns,
whose commander demanded that
Captain Barron give up a number of
British deserters who were alleged to
form part of the Chesapeake’s crew.
Barron refused to do so or to permit
his ship to be searched for them,
whereupon the Leopard opened fire,
killing three and wounding eighteen
of the Americans and seriously crip
pling the frigate. Only one gun was
fired from the Chesapeake, and shot
with great difficulty and without effect.
Barron finally eventually struck his
flag and the British reclaimed four de
serters, three of whom were native
born Americans who had been impress
ed into the British service.
The incident caused the greatest ex
citement in the United States. Presi
dent Jefferson immediately, July 21, is
sued a proclamation ordering all Brit
ish cruisers to depart from American
ports and forbidding all intercourse
with them, and indignantly, through
Monroe, demanded redress of the Brit
ish government, 'but without avail,
which was one of the causes which led
up to the war of 1812 and is famous
in American history as “the Chesa
peake outrage.”
During the war of 1812 the Chesa
peake cruised in South American wa
ters, but returned to Boston and was
placed under the command of Captain
James Lawrence. The frigate was re
paired under Captain Lawrence’s direc
tion, mounted fifty guns, and shipped a
new crew, and Lawrence was obliged
to man her with very unsatisfactory
matertai.
The British frigate Shannon, fifty
two guns, commanded by Captain Phil
ip Vere Broke, who had brought her
up to a high state of efficiency, appear
ed off Boston Harbor, and on June 1,
1813, the Chesapeake went out to meet
her.
The two frigates engaged six leagues
east of Boston Light and soon were at
close quarters. Captain Lawrence fell,
mortally wounded, and as the gallant
commander was carried below he ex
claimed:
“Don’t give up the ship!”
Capt. Broke boarded the Chesapeake,
and at five minutes after 6 p. m., fif
teen minutes after the first gun was
fired, her flag was struck, and, it ap
pears, was secured by Midshipman
Grundy, of the Shannon.
Out of a crew of 379 the Chesapeake
lost sixty-one killed or mortally wound
ed, and had eighty-five severely and
slightly wounded, while out of a crew
of 320 the Shannon lost thirty-three
killed and fifty wounded.
The Chesapeake was taken as a
prize to Halifax, N. S., was afterward
used as a British war vessel and in
1820 was sold as old timber.
The British sometimes refer to the
war of 1812 as the “War of the Chesa
peake.”—The New York Herald.
EXCEPT THE MAYOR.
From time immemorial, says Har
per’s Weekly, there has been a law
in Applegate, County Warwick, Eng
land, to the effect that the mayor had
the best of everything in town, and
if for instance, one should say he had
the best coat in the place he must add
the words, “except the mayor.”
One day a stranger came to Apple
gate and had dinner there at the inn.
After paying his bill he said to the
landlord: “I’ve had the best dinner in
the country.”
The Landlord —Except the mayor.
The Stranger —Except nothing.
As a result the tourist was called
before the magistrate and fined ten
pounds for his breaking of the laws
of the place. When the man had paid
his fine he looked around him and said
slowly, “I'm the biggest fool in the
town, except the mayor.”
t?
The western delegates to the conven
tion of Collegiate Alumnae visited the
Public Library. They tried faithfully
to understand Chavannes’ mural work,
they read all about the story of Sir
Galahad as portrayed by Abbey, and
they tired their necks gazing up at
Sargent’s interpretation of the world's
religions. Then they visited the chil
dren’s room. But even there art mate
rial greeted them. Planks were placed
along the floor, weighted with pieces
of marble, plaster and stone.
“See,” said one enthusiastically,
“Isn’t that a concrete example of Bos
ton culture? Those must be specimens
of rare marble and granite put where
the children may become familiar with
■them.”
With conscious pride because of her
insight, she walked up to the attend
ant.
“Pardon me, but are these speci
mens of Italian marble for the benefit
of the children?” she said.
The attendant looked embarrassed
as she answered: “No, not exactly.
Tlie rubber matting has been pasted to
the floor, and they are used to weight
the boards along the seams.”
A DELICATE HINT.
Two very cadaverous looking tramps
looked in at the window of a railway
station where a telegraph operator sat
at his key.
“Say, pardner,” one of them said in
a very husky voice, “report a couple
o’ empties goin’ east.’’ —Harper’s
Weekly.
