A Woman’s Wealth,
Paine’s Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.
It is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for l>cauty and the virtues that
make them lovably, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
despondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth’s great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to l'aine’s
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Minn., tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:—
“ 1 had a bad attack of la grippe this spting
and was at death’s door, arid no one ever
expected me to recover. I was so weak that
as soon as they brought me out of one faint
I was in another. 1 could not take any
nourishment, and doctors’ medicines did me
no good. A friend advised my husband to
get me a bottle ol Paine’s Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
•second day after taking the Compound, 1
liegan to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. 1 had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with that and
Paine’s Celery Compound, 1 am now doing
my own work, while three months ago I was
almost in the grave. I know that I owe my
health and strength to Paine’s Celery Com
pound, and shall always recommend it.”

AN AFRICAN HEADDRESS.
Grotesque Knob Worn by Males of
the Mashikolumwe Tribe.
The Mashikolumwe are ns savage
a tribe anti as far removed from any
form of civilization as can be found
in central Africa. Probably justly
they have u reputation for treach
ery. Though the women wear as
much, if not more, clothing than is
customary in central Africa, the
men in nearly all eases go absolutely
naked. Every man carries a bundle
of long handled barbed assagais.
Nearly every man has dressed, or,
to describe it more accurately,
forced, hits hair and scalp into the
knob or spike which is peculiar to
this tribe. Many wear the full
headdress, which looks like a long,
straight and flexible wand starting
from the hack of the head. One of
these headdresses I measured and
found it to be 45 inches long, meas
uring from the skin of the head up
ward. The headdress is made of
hair and grease, with a finely shaved
pic ' antelope’s horn inside
to stiffen it.
In making it the skin of the head
ie drawn back until a mass of flesh
am] skip protrudes two or three
inches from the Sack of the head.
This causes great pain at first. One
whom we asked replied, “We hoar
the pain because of the beautiful
result.” On this artificially made
base of oft flesh is built an upright
cone, gradually tapering to less than
one inch in diameter and prolonged
to at least three feet in height. The
straight upright piece is quite flexi
ble and waves in the wind.
The completed headdress takes
about three years to make, and the
happy possessor of a 45 inch spike
attached to his scalp takes great
care of it. When he sleeps in a
hut, the flexible end is tied by a
etring to the roof; when sleeping
in the open, a long handled assagai
is stuck firmly in the ground at the
maii*B feet, and the end of the head
dress is tied by a long 6tring to the
shaft of the assagai, so keeping it
off the ground.
In spite of the time and trouble
taken to make these headdresses,
pome of the men offered to cut them
off and sell them for a few yards of
calico. I had hoped to buy some
on our return journey, but unfortu
nately passed south, just west of the
Mashikolumwe country, and saw no
more of this peculiar headdress,
Though not tall, the Mashikolumwe
are well made and active and, judg
ing by some who followed me when
hunting on horseback, good run
aers.—Geographical Journal.
Cheerfulest Liar.
The vicissitudes of war develop
ed some odd characters back in the
’oo’s, says a Denver correspond
ent. The scarcity of rations some
times brought into play inventive
genius of a high order, and many
were the schemes devised to get
eatables not on Uncle Sam’s bill
of fare.
It was a fact known that when
one of the boys was found with
a chicken in his possession, he
forgot the exact truth and invent
ed some story to make it appear
to the officer that he came into
possession of the chicken legally.
But when a soldier one day was
caught marching along with a
turkey gobbler impaled on his
bayonet, and declared that it
must have been flying and got
onto the bayonet, bv accident and
that he did not know it was there,
the boys of the company thought
the story rather too fishy, and
they marked him down as a base
prevaricator.
Then they begun to encourage
him. He said he was a member
of an Indian tribe, that he had at
one time been chief of a tribe of
Indians with an unpronounceable
name, and he told how he had be
come chief. He had been taken
captive by ten Indians who com
pelled him to walk barefoot for a
hundred miles or so; they wereon
the war path—going to clear out
a hostile tribe. The ten Indians
took him with them in advance to
make areconnoissance. They came
up to the camp of their enemy
and being tired, lay down and fell
asleep. Indian Bill, as the boys
called him, slew all of the ten
Indians and escaped. He went
over to the camp of the other
Indians and told them what he
had done, and warned them of the
approach of their enemies.
They had only recently lost
their chief in battle, and so well
pleased wore they with their res
cuer, so ho called himself, that
they at once chose him their chief.
The next day lie led them to a
battle against the other tribe and
wiped them completely off the
face of the earth.
He was a great forager, always
going out alone. And when he
came to camp, he would tell the
most thrilling stories of hair
breadth escape, and everything ho
brought to camp had cost three
or four lives. One time ho came
to camp with a clock rolled up in
a feather bed. What use he had
for the articles, no one could tel!;
but he said he had been compelled
to kill four men and one woman
to get away with the feather bed
—and his life.
On one occasion the boys were
looking on a map of the region
where they were then wore located.
Indian Bill looked at the map a
moment, and tracing the tortuous
course of the Arkansas river as
shown there, with his finger, he
said: “Boys, right there on that
point, I killed five Indians single
handed when 1 was only seventeen
years old. Yes, sir, 1 killed them
too dead to skin.”
When the re-enlisted veterans
went home on furlough Indian
Bill went along to see the white
man's country. While visiting a
[family who had a sou in the same
company with Indian Bill, he was
| asked if he ever saw Gen. Grant.
“Grant?” said he, “Why Grant
I and I are regular old chums,
i When I kill a calf I always 6eml
; himfa hindquarter, and when his
; friends'send him cigars and chant
ipngnes he always divides with me.
[ Many a good drink I’ve taken with
Old Grant.”
Indian Ri.l had a habit of get
ting married at every opportunity,
and when tin* war finally ended
and* the soldiers were going home,
it was a hard matter for him to
decide what wife he would make
his home wjth, for he had one at
every place where the regiment
had camped for any length of
time. He was a unique character,
but with all his faults, and his
propensity for scratching the truth
he was fearless and faithful in the
discharge of his duty. Nothing
was known of him after the regi
ment was disbanded. He probably

The Iroquois* Legend of Creation.
The Iroquois have a legend of
their own describing the creation.
In the past deep water covered the
earth. The air was filled with birds
and monsters were in possession of
the waters when a beautiful woman
was seen falling from the sky. Then
huge ducks gathered in council and
resolved to meet this wonderful
creature and break the force of her
fall. So they rose and, with pinion
overlapping pinion,unitedly received
the burden. Then the monsters of
the deep also gathered in council to
decide which one should hold this
celestial being and protect her from
the terrors of the waters, but none
was able except a giant tortoise,
who volunteered to endure this
weight upon his back. There she
was gently placed, while he, con
stantly increasing in size, soon be
came a large island.
Twin boys were after a time
brought forth by the womajL one
the spirit of good, who causechthe
maize, fruit and tobacco to grow;
the other the spirit of evil, who cre
ated the weeds and all vermin. From
that time the world steadily in
creased in size, although occasional
?uakings were felt, caused by the ef
orts of the monster tortoise to
stretch himself.

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT MORMONISAL
The Mormon Church Growing Rap
idly. Republican Bosses Uneasy
About The Political Situa
’
tion in Vtah.
Some pertinent facts and fig
ures upon the rapid increase of
the Mormon church in Utah are in
the last number of Harper’s
Weekly, it says:
“The Mormon church is g. ow
ing faster today than ever before
in its history. It is building
more churches, planting more
settlements and maintaining more
missionaries over the earth.
During 1800 the Congregation
alists, Presbyterians and Method
ist gained less than 50,tXX), while
the Mormon church, with a pop
ulation about one-fi tteenth as large
gained 08,000, or about 18,000
more than ail put together. The
M. E. church, which has a mem
bership of 2,762,291, increased 10,-
500 in 1901, while the Mormons
increased 95,000 in the same year.
They are pressing their work in
foreign countries. Great Britian,
Germany, Switzerland and Swe
den. Their tithing system brings
in the money, and with this money
they use all the power of a thor
oughly materialized and aggres
sive organization.
It is a church where money and
members may exist in fall force,
yet the polygamous idea is under
stood to deprave morals and les
sen religious influence. Never
theless, the Mormon idea is ag
gressive, and, backed by its money,
it gathers in scores of members.
It is reported that the ruling
bosses of the Republican party are
very uneasy about the political
situation in Utah. If Mormon
representatives or senators are
sent to Washington City then the
Brigham Roberts case will come
up again, and the reason for his
being refused admittance into the
national legislature must, perforce
be reviewed.
To have a Republican expelled
because of dual wives will perhaps
lose Utah to the party which does
it. The G. 0. P. is cravingly
anxious to keep its grip on Utah,
but they want a man who can stay
in when he gets in, and hence
these tears! The Mormons are
Mormons first and politicians
later. If there is a kick on Mor
monism, then the G. O. P. may
not be or remain so popular in
Utah. It wants to eat its cake
and still have it. Of the 207,000
people in Utah about 166,000
are Mormons. They, therefore,
hold the balance of power in
Idaho and Arizona also, with
rapid populating power in Wash
ington. Montana, Wyoming and
Colorado. The futiue of Mor
mon ism is hard to foretell.”

Billy Boy Jr. A Deserter.
Don de Tabas, alias “Billy Boy
Jr.,” rated on board the United
States battleship Olympia, as
“mascot,” is accused by the crew
of the Wabash, with being a deser
ter.
“Billy” is a large black and
white and handsomely bewhisker
ed goat. He was transfered with
part of the Olympia’s crew to the
Wabash in Boston. The Wabash
and Olympia lay at the dock, side
by side, and “Billy,” it is alleged,
then deserted.
According to Billy’s enlistment
papers he entered the service of
the United States navy on Sept.
14, with the United States ship
Manila, at Sangley Point, Philip
pine islands, to serve for four
years. He is rated as “mascot”
and is described as follows:
Where born—Sangley Point,
P. I.
Date —July 10,1900.
Height—2 feet 6 inches.
Weight—6o pounds.
Eyes—Goat.
Hair—Goat.
Complexion—Goatey.
Personal characteristics—Has
two long horns, a short tail and a
-a-a-goatee.
Residence at date of enlistment
—Sangley Point, P. I.
His record since his enlistment
has been of the best. For obedi
ence and sobriety his mark is “ex
cellent,” and for marksmanship
there is no record in the whole
navy equal to Billy’s, as several
members of the crew will bear
witness. Billy knows what it is
to be confined in the black hole.
Later —Billy was found ip Ad
miral Goghlan’s quarters and was
promptly ordered out, a com
mand which he resented by say
ing:
“Ha, ha!” and making a dive
for the admiral who proved a good
dodger.

" /■*
Avery interesting report by Mr.
Farez of Edinburgh, issued by the
board of education, discusses the
question of men mi fatigue. At
tempts have been made to estimate
fatigue by such tesis as the loss of
muscular power, the decrease oi'
sensibility in the skin or increase of
inaccuracy in the work done. Math
ematics and, strange to say, gym
nastics prove to be the most ex
hausting subjects; foreign lan
guages and religious instruction
come next, but at a long interval;
the mother tongue, natural science,
geography and history lit
tle calls on the system; singing and
drawing still less. Afternoon work
is inferior to and more tiring than
that done in the morning, and even
in the latter efficiency increases up
to a maximum and then begins to
decline.

BLACK-DRAUGHT
THE ORIGINAL
LIVER MEDICINE
” A sallow complexion, dizziness,
biliousness anil a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
give immediate warning by pain,
but liver and kidney troubles,
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford’s |
Black-Draught never fails to bene
fit diseased liver and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw off the germs of fever and ,
ague. It is a certain preventive
of cholera and Bright's disease of
the kidneys. With kidneys re- ]
inforced by Thedford’s Black-
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families live in
perfect health and have no other
doctor than Thedford’s Black-
Draught. It is always on hand for
use in an emergency and save3
many expensive calls of a doctor.
Mullins, S. C., March 10, IsK>l.
I have used Thedford’s Black-Draught
for three years and I have not had to go
to a doctor since i have been taking it.
It is the best medicine for me that is
on the market for liver and kidney
troubles and dyspepsia and other
complaints. Rev. A. G. LEWIS. g
