H-Telltdr THE XIIiXiING- ABOUT HOGS. I have just laid down my newspaper after reading: of the awful tragedy that occurred near Cordele last Monday, where three men (neighbors) are al ready dead and the fourth mortality wounded, and all this horror grew out of a silly difficulty over some miserable hogs that had strayed from home. My! My!; Has the world gone mad? When men, grown men, with wives und children de pendent on them, can get so enraged over a triflig matter of this sort, it would seem that Christianity has failed in this country of ours. Of course the hogs were not worth it! And the hogs were only the nec essary spark to kindle rage in the might have caused. There are courts of all sizes to adjudicate such differ ences; but the trouble was not begun with the miserable hogs. It was that hatred, that had been nursed diligently until it burst out in gun play and there are weeping widows and orphaned children, enough to make angels weep, over man’s inhumanity to man. Angry passions are the besetment of human kind. How we should pray to be delivered from angry tempers! And how bystanders should flee from two angry men. when firearms are in evidence! “Soon borne on Time’s eternal wing, Shall Death command you to the grave, Before His bar, your spirits bring, And none be found to hear or save. hearts of these men who were neighbors and should have been>friends. The ill-will had been brewing, grow ing bigger all the time, and the cri sis eventuated when the hogs strayed from the pasture and gave the other man a chance to put them up and “get even” with his neighbor for one time at least. * I need to say nothing more of this particular catastrophe, but I am sorry that the story of the killing has gone all over the United States and comment is freely made on the blood-thirstyness of the transaction, and the good name; of the state has suffered, as well as those widows and orphans who are the innocent victims. “How great a fire a lit tle matter kindleth.” And it is a dreadful thing to go out of life, with red hot rage, surging in side immortal things! Death is sad when disease or accident removes a person from life, but how inexpressibly terrible when men get so angry and so violent that the rage makes them maniacs and keen for murder. Old Sa tan rubs his hands in glee, when grown men, husbands and fathers, begin to quarrel. All the hogs in Crisp county were not worth one of these lives, that were sniffed out in a few minutes in . a street broil; and for such a pitiful cause, insignificant as well as unworthy. This “getting, even” is such a terrible thing. There was a legal remedy for any destruction that straying hogs In that lone land of deep despair No Sabbath’s heavenly light shall rise, No good regard your bitter prayer. No Savior call you to the skies!” CRAMPS, HEADACHE, BACKACHE, Yield to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Cedar Rapids, Iowa. —“I was always tired and weak and my housework was a drag. I was irreg ular, had cramps so bad that I would have to lie down, al so a distressed feel ing in lower part of back, and headache. My abdomen was sore and I know I had organic inflam mation. “Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable CARE OF THE FEET AND THEIR TROUBLES. How many people do you know who are troubled with their feet—with hard corns and soft corns—with bunions and ingrowing nails, etc., etc.? Don’t everybody answer at once, but wait and tell how many people do you know, who have no trouble whatever with their feet, or have natural, painless and well-preserved feet? The sort that never hurt. I am not able to tell the number of troublesome feet or well preserved feet either, but I can safely say there are more people complaining than there are those whose feet give no trouble. I am afraid these extraordinary hign- heeled shoes will make the matter worse. The weight of the body is thrown on tne ball of the foot and when the fashionable lady walks a good deal on hard pave ments, she is reasonably sure to get corns on the bottom of her feet, and then she has trouble. Also, when such persons are compelled to stand on their feet during most of the day, the veins get enlarged ana swell, and those ugly things called vari cose or blood-shotten veins will appear. One can be as miserable as their worst enemies could wish, with painful corns, and yet feel obliged to walk and wear close-fitting shoes. Some people make a business of trimming their corns, and I have heard of folks who barely escaped blood poisoning by such trimming and paring. I have had an aggravating lit- the corn on one of my own little toes for forty-odd years. I have been made al most sick with the pain after much walk ing on hard pavements. I generally pro cured some nitrate of silver in solution and painted the aggravating spot, it will turn the skin black and look ugly, but it has taken away the sickening pain, more than a score of times for me. But some more hard walking would start an other corn and then I had to doctor again. But the bunion proposition is the worst of all. When the bunion gets a firm hold the poor sufferer need not expect ever to wear shapely shoes. He or she may be glad to wear any sort of shoes that can protect the sufferer from aggravat ing pain. I have known bunions to be come a chronic sore with continual pus. I had once a good friend who died from blood poison, growing out of a bunion. An ingrowing nail is one of the vexatious problems of human kind. They generally demand the surgeon’s care, before the suffering ceases. Troublesome feet are as common as toothache and that is say ing a good deal. Compound and Blood Purifier have helped me wonderfully. 1 don’t have those pains any more and I am all right now. There are a great many women here who take your remedies and I have told others what they have done for me.”—Mrs. Chas. McKinnon, 1013 N. 5th St. W., Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to restore their health. There -are probably hundreds of thou sands, perhaps millions of women in the United States who have beep benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over 30 years ago by a woman to relieve wo man’s suffering.

Box 1127, Atlanta, Ga.,* Dept. E. (Advt.) YOUR FALL SUIT THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING. The wedding of Miss Wilson will rival the wedding of Miss Alice Roose velt, and it is likely the ceremony will be performed in the same room, perhaps at the same hour in the day. The dis play will he tremendous and there will he a great many people who will attend, and doubtless a considerable number who will feel slighted because of the lack of an invitation; and President Wilson will be lucay if he does not find some of his admirers quite huffy because of non-attention, etc. Miss Nellie Grant had a brilliant wedding in the White House, but I did not see her until she made her first visit after she had lived a number of months in England. She appeared at one of her mother’s receptions, dressed in what she called, shrimp pink silk. She looked very girl ish and happy, and her mother was quite delighted to see the gla’d greet ings showered on the daughter by peo ple well known in Washington society. But Nellie’s match was not a happy one, according to reports. It is under stood that British husbands are gener ally neglectful husbands to American wives. Mrs. Fred Grant was an exceedingly handsome woman, and, although she was married in Chicago, she lived in the White House a considerable time, during the Grant administration. Mrs. Hayes’ daughter was a school girl only, a modest little lady, whose good mother’s fine example was of last ing benefit to her during her stay in the White House. Mrs. Garfield had also a young daugh ter that I saw very frequently while her father was in congress. She was also a very quiet and unobtrusive young girl. Mrs. McKinley lost her two children when they were small. Their early go ing away had much to do with the mother’s depresses state of health. I saw President Cleveland’s very handsome wife when she had been a bride of some months. I somehow wish she had never relinquished the name of Cleveland, for her children’s sake. It was Alice Roosevelt who had the time of her life in the White House. She was universally popular, and might have had choice of some titled fiances, hut she preferred her own countryman for a husband. I certainly wish for Miss Wilson all the satisfaction that the eclat of a White House wedding will give one.

Dear Mrs. Felton: Since the gourd question comes up I’ve received so many letters I’ll have to call on you for help. Now if they will give me tim« l will send each some seed, but here’s the trouble: If they who wish had a peck of seed each and did not know the peculiarities of this species of gourds they would never raise one. So I wish to give my experience with them for twenty-five years for the benefit of all who wish to try. Now what I have to say—put it away for your guidance. In the first place it takes them longer to germinate than any seed I know of, consequently they have to be planted early. In January or February it takes from fifty to sixty days to come up. If they come up too late they will not ma ture in time to be sound. Next, never more than half the seed germinate, and often never come true to the original. Why? I am unable to explain, unless they originally came “It'll never do to let Sam know that I am rich,” soliloquized Captain Job Trav ers, as he neared Biddeford on a visit to his old shipmate, Sam Stubbs. “Sam would either envy me or hate me for my luck, and I want to enjoy Sam nat’ral.” I Captain Sam Stubbs had retired from the sea at the pressing invitation of va rious ship owners, who dreaded the con tinued bad luck that followed the unfor tunate mariner, and, a soured, disap- t pointed man, Captain Stubbs had retired to a small home near Biddeford, where he lived with his daughter and a very meager income. “I’m glad I thought about keeping mum about iyiy luck,” muttered Captain Trav ers, as the one-hinged gate groaned a protest to being opened, and the rotten porch step tried to trip him. “He*s poor as a rat, is Sam, and he’d hate me on account of my luck.” Captain Travers, after years of voyag ing along the Atlantic coast, on a small salary, had fallen in with a derelict, and the salvage had amounted to $5,000. The weather beaten face of Sam St,ubDs just lightened a trifle as he shook thf; hand of his old shipmate, and he asked, gloomily: “Schooner at Biddefodd?” “No, Sam, I’ve no schooner right now “Lose her?” asked Stubbs, with a glint of joy in his eyes. “No; just quit the sea for awhile.’* “Ain’t made your fortune, have you?” and the corners of Sam’s mouth drew down as he asked the question. “Lord, no; poor as ever, Sam,” lied Captain Travers. Captain Travers was much taken with Meely Stubbs, his friend’s daughter, ana his heart ached as he noted her shabby dress. “I wish Sam wasn’t such a crooked old stick,” he mutered to himself. “I’d like to give that girl a present.” During the talk after supper the bright face of the girl and her cheery laugh contrasted so strongly with the croaking pessimism of her father tha't Captain Travers determined at all hazards to make her a substantial present during his stay as soon as the means of doing so, without it being atributed to him, was discovered. Captain Stubbs showed his guest to the best room, and remarked that the room adjoining was occupied by his daughter. When Captain Stubbs had retired, and as Miss Meely had not come upstairs, Captain Travers ven tured to take a peep into Meely’s room. A few cheap pictures hung on the wall and a tawdry vase stoon on the mantel piece. “Poor girl!” sighed the captain, but just then his eyes fell on the bureau, and an inspiration swept over him. He stepped quickly to the bureau, picked up a Bible that lay thereon, and slipped a $100 note within its pages. Then in a glow of blushes at having been within the sacred pre cincts of a young lady’s bedroom, the captain hurried back to his apartment and went to bed. “She’ll open the good book,” he from the handle kind and run back to the same. Never plant near growing trees as they sap the soil of all moisture and email vegetation perishes. In rich creek or branch bottom land they do best and then liberal fertilization helps wonderfully. Any kind of lot or stable compost is good and so is commercial fertilizers that are rich with potash. The largest one I ever saw was raised in a creek swamp, where a log heap had been burned. If you have to plant in upland have the ground rich and dug up deep. Drouth effects them sooner than anything else, so if it turns off dry they should be watered late in the evening. Never pull them until the vine dies. Then put some on some boards or benches in the sun until dry, which will be in December. When dry scrape off the old skin gently. When ready to cut take a pair of compasses and stretch the points three inches. Put one point in center of the old steam and scribe a circle, which gives you a six-inch hole, you can have it larger if you wish by opening the points. Then take a brace and bit and bore as many holes as you wish above the scribed circle and saw out or cut out the piece with a sharp knife. Then trim the edges smoothly. Take out the pith and seed. I varnish or paint them any color desir able, generally mahogany, and they make a nice receptacle for many things. Very respectfully, T. J. H. THICK, GLOSSY 01 FREE FROM DANDRUFF Girls! Try it! Your hair gets soft, fluffy and luxuriant at once. If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and Is radiaht with life; has'an incomparable softness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine. Just one application doubles the beau ty of your hair, besides it immediately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff This destructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very life, and if not overcome It produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter; apply a little as directed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it—no dandruff—no itching scalp and no more falling hair—you must use Knowlton’s Danderine. If eventually why not now?—(Advt.) murmured, “and find the money, and soothed by Hie consciousness of a good deed he fell asleep. Evidently Miss Meely did not consult the scriptures that night, for she gave no indications of a fortunate find the next morning, but Captain Travers bided his time, and after a rather doleful day, owing to the lamentations of Cap tain Stubbs, Miss Meely put on her shawl at nightfall, preparatory to go ing out. “Too dark for you to go,” proclaimed her father. “An’ my rheumatiz is too bad for me to go with you.” “I must go,” said the girl. “I must see Miss Miffin tonight.” “I’ll go with you,” exclaimed Captain Travers, getting eagerly on his feet. “I am going,” said Miss Meely, as they walked toward the town, “to return a Bible to Miss Miffin. I borrowed it last Sunday, and I must return it.” Captain Travers’ blood chilled. “As I passed your room last night, ’ he said, nervously, “I saw a book or your bureau. I suppose that was it.” “That was it,” replied the girl. And Captain Travers’ heart sank. His $100 note was going to a woman he did not even* know, and who probably did not need it. The money must be recovered. “Let me carry the book for you,” said he. Revolving the wildest schemes from burglary to arson, the capitain walked silently alongside of his companion until Miss Miffin’s house was reached, and this his hopes fell to zero, for the spinster placed the Bible on a chest of drawers beyond the reach of any one save an expert thief. , Miss Miffin was most favorably im pressed with Captain Travers, and in vited him to call again. As the cap tain was determined to get back his mo y, he gladly accepted and the next evening repeated his visit. But luck was against him. Although he pro longed his call far beyond the usual limits of such a visit, no opportunity cam e to get his hands on the Bible without Miss Miffin’s knowledge. The money, however, must be obtained. It would not do to allow Miss Miffin to have it, and if she talked about her find, as was most likely, it would cer tainly be attributed to him sooner or later, and then his deception would be exposed to his old friend and, besides, he would look ridiculous. He called again the next night and the next, all without result. Things were getting warm. Miss Miffin would certainly use the Bible on Sunday, for she taught at Sunday school, and Sunday was only two days off. The deed must be done quickly. In the meantime the captain’s regular vis-.s to Miss Miffin had caused talk, ne was regarded as a most ardent suit or for Miss Miffin’s hand, and that spinster when probed with questions blushed and said, with a simper, that possibly something might happen. Cap tain Travers, even amid his troubles, could not but notice the arch glances of Miss Meely, and her sly hints at weddings bells and orange blossoms. Captain Stubbs amused his guest at breakfast by recounting the fate of sundry shipmasters who had made fools of themselves by marrying late in life, but as Captain Travers did not under stand the point, it did no good. “It must be done tonight,” muttered the captain, as he trudged toward Miss Miffin’s home Friday evenin. “I am go ing away Monday morning, and it must be done tonight.” But this evening, like its predeces sors, brought the captain no nearer his goal. He tried to turn the talk to ward Bibles, hoping for an opportunity to get his hands on the longed for volume, but Miss Miffin'insisted on talk- in about other thins. Finally he an nounced, in the bitterness of his de feat, that he was going to leave on Sun day, to rejoin his vessel. Instantly Miss Miffin hurst into tears. “Good-by,” said Captain Travers, gloomily. Miss Miffin wept more sorely. “What’s the matter?” he asked. “What—what will the neighbors say,” sobbed Miss Miffin. “What will they think. Oh, captain, I’ll die with shame!” “What should they think?”inquired the* amazed captain. “They think you were coming to see me; that you intended to marry me,’ sobbed Miss Miffin. “Oh, what shall 1 do? I’ll die!” A great light burst upon the cap tain. In his search for an oppor tunity to recover his unlucky money he had seriously compromised an in nocent female. She would be the butt of unfriendly ridicule. She would be laughed at, and all his fault. “I—I did come to see you,” he stam mered. Miss Miffin threw her arms around his neck and laid her head on his breast. “I am yours, Job,” she said—“yours till death.” Captain Travers walked home in a trance. He had not recovered his money, but he found himself an engaged man— an unexpected development. The next morning Captain Travers ate breakfast uncomfortably under a fire of suspicious glances from Captain Stubbs, and he was relievedly preparing to rise from the ta ble when a shriek sounded from upstairs, and Miss Meely rushed into the room, hysterically waving a $100 note. “I found it In my Bible!” she cried. “Now I’ll get a new dress. ” Then she ran across the room and kissed Captain Travers. “I am glad whoever put it there did not put it in Miss Miffin’s Bible,” she said. “They were both on my bureau, and he might have made a mistake.” Captain Stubbs glowered at his guest. “Have you made a fortin’?” he asked. “No, Sam,” replied Captain Travers me chanically. “Poor as a rat, Sam.” But Mr. and Mrs. Travers lived happily, and Meely wore a new dress at the wed ding.

I gained more strength from one bottle than any thing else I ever tried. I recommend it to all women or girls who are without the glow of health on their cheeks.” These nervous, trembly,^ smothering spells which Mrs. Powell describes are very common symptoms of womanly trouble, and should be given the proper treatment to prevent a general break down.
