boating. Now, Auntie, you need not raise
your finger and veto that, for my father has
already done so, alas I for me. I can go in the
afternoon and return about nine, much as I
please, but that is not moonlight boating. You
cannot imagine how delightful it is to. sit in a
boat eating ice cream under the beaming smile
of her majesty, the moon.
How did you all spend your “fourth”? I
had a grand time. A party of ten (onr crowd)
went in buggies to the B. A. and I. Springe.
Now I shall not attempt to describe the pleas
ures of that day, for various reasons, for if I
do I will surely stay too long, and woe to me!
And although Aunt Judy is so kind as to let
me come often—oh! so often, and talk so
mucb, and murmurs not—ytt I know she
does a mighty thinking; likewise some of the
cousins. Another reason—it might just the
least(?) bit bore some of those who were along
to have to read about it.
Auntie, I believe that cloud will not ccme
up for ever so long. May I stay just a bit
more and listen to the cousins tell of their
“fourth”?
Do, please, send some of these lazy (what
have 1 done—incurred the displeasure of the
sterner sex?) boys to look all over the room for
a certain “spicy. ” I am longir g for her smile.
Do, please, energetic boys, hunt we.!, especial
ly the easy rockers. Perhaps you had better
strike a match, for the twilight (our time, “my
own’’) has come suddenly upon us. Would you
believe it, some one remarked, • 'Call it twi
light—it is that storm. ” It must have changed
its mind and come sooner, or I have talked
long. Was it the patter of the rain or did
some one say “more likely the latter?”
1 have a gossamer. So do not mind; that
fear of drenching -was “all talk.”
As ever, Minnehaha.

CHESS NOTES.
PROBLEM NO. 215.
Fjr the Sunny South, by 8. M. Joseph.
Black. 5 pieces.
TENNESSEE.
Dear Cousins: I have just completed a long
journey, and you must know I am fatigued
and want something to chee r my sad spirit,
could you do it consistently? Have you just
room for one more? The interesting letters
from the cousins in the columns of the dear
old Sunny South, are like an oasis in a desert
now, and I find a sweet solace in reading them,
But I would not impose myself on your hos
pitality without letting you know I am neither
old, ngly or mean, but especially invite some
of the girls to correspond with me, and see if I
am as “true to my colors” as I paint myself.
I live in a beautiful grove on the H—no!
will not say where and must really ask your
pardon for saying I existed at all, but I wish to
say a few words to the cousins personally.
Minnehaha, I am in love with ycur name,
and hope you are as loveable as “laughing wa
ter.” Won’t you write to me? You can pro
cure my address by asking Aunt Judy.
“Two Authors”—well! what will be the next
role you will don? I “ketch on.”
Luby Lynn, why are all the boys “mashed”
on you? Are you very attractive? Don’t get
me to loving you—“an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure,” so take warning.
I would like to inquire what became of Airy
Fairy Lillian? Will Minnehaha inform me?
Hermit, where do you live that you should
assume such a nom de plume ?
Bonnie Sweet Bessie has an awful pretty
name.
As I don’t think you all would enjoy any
more of my “discourse,” I will look an earnest
appeal into Aunt Judy’s eyes, and cast a sig
nificant smile into the waste basket, and dis
continue hoping I will be welcomed another
time. With fond thoughts of all, I am
Hiawatha.
Auntie: I think some of your nieces and
nephews are in need of the “Frolic of the
Frogs” being played.
Let me tell you a little anecdote. Now don’t
say “I’ve heard that before.”
Once there was a lady and gentleman. (“I
am givin’ you de story as it was giv’ to me, "
as Uncle Remus would say.) This gentleman
was too bashful to tell his lady love of his love
for her, etc. While there was danger of a third
person hearing, this third person played the
above piece; but one of the frees made a mis
step, causing the dancing to quit off awhile.
Can any of you explain why the player heard
a gentle voice say “yes”? Surely it was not
the frogs.
Many of you describe yourself. I am very
tall, deep biue eyes and dark hair. This morn
ing an old negro woman said to father: “Ah,
Mr., dis is de putty one. What’s her name?”
I felt highly complimented until my sister re
marked, with a little curling of the lips, “Yes,
I expect she wanted you to give her some
thing.”
I will not name your names, cousins, but
will say I loee you all—that is, all the girls.
ZULEIKA.
Dear Cousins: I will select this bright sum
mer day, while everything is so quiet, to have
a real nice chat with you all.
Bemie Rheims, will you let me sit over there
in the window by you? I want to ask you if
you will not correspond with me. I just know
I will like you, although you are so very bash
ful. You need not blush because I took my
seat by you, but talk real nice. I am sure you
ought to like me, for I am a school-girl and
love fun as well as anybody, and I say let’s en
joy ourselves while we are young, for too soon
old age will creep over us.
Fraud, I know who you are. You and I re
side in the same little city. I think I have
seen you on Third street, Twenty-third av
enue.
Where are all the old members of the L. B. ?
I never hear of them. I feel like a stranger
now when I call.
I wish I could be present at the reunion of
the L. B. which meets on the 21st, but of
course I cannot attend.
I hope the “Two Authors” will come again
soon.
With much love to the cousins, I am still,
Lottie May,
P. S.—Bernie Rheims can get my address
from Aunt Judy. L. M.
Dear Cousins: As the saying is “there is
always room for one more,” I take courage,
thinking there will be room for me in your
happy circle.
I have some very dear friends with you who
no doubt will recognize me, if they do I am
sure I will be welcomed. I have dark brown
wavy hair, fair skin, blue eyes, “no freckles.”
My weight is one hundred and twenty pounds;
age between sixteen and eighteen. I live iu a
city.
Bonnie Sweet Bessie, I know you, and enjoy
your chats so much in the L. B. I am enjoy
ing vacation now. Will start to school “when
the leaves begin to turn.” Ruby Lynn I
would like to correspond with you. Now
Jake what makes you so quiet, “you must be
in Love.” Does any one recognize me? Now,
if this escapes that horrid waste basket you
may look for me again. I am at present.

Ruby Lynn, I know you, I think. . Aren’t
your initials T. J. ? I saw you a few days ago.
Oh! what a good time we are having this de
lightful summer weather!
Aunt Judy, I’ve seen your picture, also Calla
Lily’s, Bonnie Sweet Bessie’s and Monk’s.
What has become of the boys and giris that
used to write to the Letter Box?
Calla Liiy, come again. We enjoy your let
ters so mneh.
As this is my first, and for fear of the
But I can see Aunt Judy cutting her eyes
around at me, as if to say : “Will that gossip
never go?” So I’ll go.
Who’ll welcome Little Darling?
Dear Aunt Judy: It has been so long since
I came out to chat with the cousins, I’m at a
loss how to begin, but I must acknowledge for
the first time that I’m struck—I mean with
Two Authors, their letter suits me exactly,
and I’m inclined to think one of the two would
suit me better.
Cousins, if you want a real lively corres
pondent or sweetheart, I’m the boy to try to
please the girls. So look for a letter soon.
Bemie, since you are going to have a gay
time this summer, I believe I will try to wait
two or three weeks till I find me a girl.
Hermit, you are a daisy, I must say. I
know you better than you do yourself, but we
are fine friends, and I want you to find you a
girl, too. With love to all, I close.

Jabe. 1 am anxious to hear from Mrs. Mahala on
this subject.” K. M. Ohman. “If Mr Phelps wants
a second, please inform him he can be accommodated
without further search,** P. A. Towne. * Jabe is
better than Eliah,” C, H. Wheeler “As to Eliah

both Pawns is well conceived,” Wm. Spitz. “They
have very few tries.*’ A. F. Worm “Neat bat net
difficult. The only fault I find with this class of
problems is so many mates in 2. It is almost impoe-
• ible to raise a two mover to three moves without
this occurring. As to Jabe, the Pawns at R 2 and S
2 give the key away as it is soon seen that both these
Pawns must be prevented from moving on the sec
ond move,” Eugene Woodard. “Eliah is not a bad
one, while Jabe is not so'ved in a minute as the key
is pretty well covered up,” Madison, Fla. “Mr.
Phelps is a good composer; he however does hixr self

The treatment of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt
ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the
cure of woman’s peculiar maladies.
Dr. l»ierce’» Favorite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and
valuable experience. Thousands of testimo
nials, received from patients and from physi
cians who have tested it in the more agg
vated and obstinate cases which had ban
their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
suffering women. It is not recommended as a
“ cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for
woman’s peculiar ailments.
As a powerful, invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to Die whole system,
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For overworked, “worn-out,”
u run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” house
keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women
generally. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled
as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening
nervine. “Favorite Prescription” is une-
oualed and is invaluable in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other distressing, nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de
spondency.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
Is a legitimate medicine, carefully
compounded by an experienced and skillful
physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable in its
composition and perfectly harmless in its
effects in any condition of the system. For
morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever
cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys
pepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small
doses, will prove very beneficial.
“Favorite Prescription ” is a posi
tive cure for the most complicated and ob
stinate cases of ieucorrhea, excessive flowing,
painful menstruation, unnutural suppressions,
prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back,
r * female weakness.” ante version, retroversion,
bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion,
inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in
flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries,
accompanied with “ internal heat.”
As a regulator and promoter of func
tional action, at that critical period of change
from girlhood to womanhood, “Favorite Pre
scription ” is a perfectly safe remedial agent,
and can produce only good results. It is
equally efficacious and valuable in its effects
wnen taken for those disorders and derange
ments incident to that later and most critical
period, known as “ The Change of Life.”
“Favorite Prescription. 99 when taken
in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative
doses of Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets (Little
Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder
diseases. Their combined use also removes
blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and
scrofulous humors from the svstem.
