Lin ilk Black burn-Lane is a 'ail, gi ace
ful blonde, aged 28 years. She is Senator i
Blackburn’s youngest daughetr, and his i
favorite. The gri.iter portion of her life |
hu bun ~<nt In Washington, for she i
eanie i,. re when her father entered Con- ,
gs - . In the early -eventit s. It it told i
that Blackburn's devotion to Lucille pre- I
venfid a due] with a fellow-member of j
the ILuic at the beginning of his career, i
Mrs. Blickburn. knowing well the hot I
temper of her husband, .-.nd his liability
to engage in dueling on tbs slightest pro
v ation, stat Lucille, then a chill, as |
company for him until she could move to
Washington. Blackburn had not been I
long in the House until he found himself |
in hot debate with a Northern member, I
which ill > d in a challenge to duel and '
it prompt acceptance, Another Southern ;
member was selected as Blackburn’s i
second, and the di tails of the meeting, I
which «is to be the following morning, ■
»«' di -. .I'-sed that night, in a room ad
join,ng in which little Lucille was sup- |
jH><ed to be asleep. As the arrangements j
were <on'luded Blackburn and ids second
were Interrupted by a little child In white
robes suddenly appearing and throwing
her arms around her father’s neck. Tears i
wt lied into her large blue eyes, and as
they wire kissed aw iy she Inquired:
"Are you going out early tomorrow,
di ar papa?”
"Y<s. dear.” replied Blackburn.
“Is it v< ry Important?"
"Yes, very Important."
"1 hen 1 musn't k ep you. but crime back
as <>on you can. pap®, and I'll have a
cup of hot coffee for you. You will be
back in t .o hours, won't you?”
"Yes, dtar; now good night,” and
Blackburn swallowed a lump, thinking
that this fond farewell might be his last,
for he might fall before the pistol of the
antagonist. His second likewise was
griatly affected.
In the early morning Blackburn stole
out to ki<p his appointment on the field
of honor. But the duel did not come off.
He found his second, but the latter would
nllow him to fight. He had been touched
by th.' scene the night before, and putting
bls h nd on his friend's shoulder, be said:
“Joe, it is my privilege as second to take
your ] !a< ■ as principal in this duel. I
um not much good to any one, and you
are vm’ i ’e to ;!;e country. The country
shall not lose you. and what I have done
is for the best."
Bl:n-kburn’s .irvumcnts were of no avail:

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple. But Safe Effectual Cure
for it.
< .’tarr.i of the stomach has long been
comi.’ertd the r.-xt thing to incurable.
she usual symptoms are a full or bloat
~ sensation after eating, accompanied
>cm< tains with .-our or watery risings, a
formation of gasses, causing pressure on
th. heart and lungs and difficult breath
i"g: headache, fickle appetite, nervous-
Ueami a general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste In the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
s " -1 could be 5 seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
rhe cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
aus, s the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of
the* stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges
tioa is the one* necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
X< cording to Dr. Harlanson the safest
ar.d best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet composed of Diastaste, Asep
t Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids.
These .ablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets, and. not being a patent
med ••ine. can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
through digestion will follow their regu
lar use after meals.
Mr. N. J. B<*oher. 2710 Dearborn street.
Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi
se:-,ous discharge therefrom, passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today I am the happiest
of men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro
priate words to express my good feeling.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat
ing after meals.

stomach troublt s, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be
found at a drug store.
TO GfiOW CELERY-
Macos Truckers Have Been Considering the
Idea.
The growing at' celery for the home
market has long been under consideration
by the truckers around Macon.
And there Is money in it.
The sort of swamp is said to be pecu
liarly wall adapted to this purpose and
experienced men say that it can be done
as well tore as anywhere.
At any rate the experiment is to be
tried on a somewhat extensive scale tins
year.
It is estimated that three times as much
celery would be consumed if it were rais
ed here because express charges from
Michigan, where the better variety is
grown, amount to more than the cost of
the celery. A reduction o* the cost would
naturally increase the demand.
Thu cost in New York just now is 50
and GO cents per dozen stalks, whereas in
Macon the choice sell steadily for 10 cents
each. Its nutritious value seems to eclipse
the high prices asked and the sale of cel
ery is. if anything, better than any other
vegetable in the local market.
It’s culture has been discussed in re
pur:- of the state experimental station, I
,md it has always been the Idea that it |
•uld be grown in Georgia. In Florida
large quantities are grown which find sale 1
here, but it Is not as crisp and solid as the I
northern grown celery.
It requires an acute knowledge and con
sidi rahl patience to carry on the culture
successfully, and in view of the little :
trouble necessary in raising the hardy ,
vegetables, the farmers seem never to '
have been able to see any profit in the ■
crop.
The celery bed is easy to freeze, or be ‘
kill'd by too much heat or too little 1
moisture, and the fact that the farmers >
have failed frequently in experiments, j
s. ems to have placed a damper on further 1
attempts.
The method Is to plant the seed in sum- I
mer. This is done in covered beds, and I
the soil is kept from exposure by sash,
which are adjusted so the interior can be !
properly ventilated. During the day,
heavy clothes, saturated with water, are
placed over the glass and the bed kept at
a moderate temperature. The plants are
transplanted in the fall, but not until it
is sufficiently cool to protect them from
the sun's heat.
The process is tedious, and requires the
closest attention throughout, but If the
farmers would take the trouble to study
the culture closely and become interested
in it, the cultivation of celery could be
taken up in this section with much profit.
There are a few farmers raising it now, !
which demonstrates that the only requi
site is knowledge and effort. There is no j
question about the possibility of success
fully carrying on the ciiture, but it is not |
thought the farmers will take hold ex-ten- |
sively until some one starts making I
money at it.
