ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Courage of the Losing Fighter.
Thi' Cirri. Maffnzlne,
"l know ii woman who writes,” said
Lillian Bell. "She writes iraily,
Blithely, hopefully. Thousands regard
her as the apotheosis of easy success,
and envy her position and the happi
ness which must accompany her su
premacy. Yet 1 happen to know that
the one she loves best on earth is dying
a lingering death of an illness which
neither money nor human skill may
even suhdue the pain thereof.
“She is both nurse and breadwinner,
ami doing the work of two is robbing
her of health and strength, yet not one
complaint ever passes her lips. With
her back against, the wall she fights her
losing light, which, though won each
day, yet loses to her all that she loves
best. Such courage as is in her little
slender frame anti blazes from her
dauntless eyes ' Yet her success even
though she daily wins her losing fight
— brings tears to my eyes.
“The woman who scrubs for me,
earning her dollar and a half a day on
her knees, is kneeling, not only to her
work, fait before an altar whereon lies
the crippled child she adores, lie can
never grow up she must know this in
her heart, even though we talk of
what he will do when he grows strong
and well. He is failing daily, and her
eyes know the truth, though her lips
still speak brave lies. He will live, he
is eating better, his lips have more
color, his eyes are brighter Yet as she
lifts him in her arms at night she feels
that his little frame is daily growing
lighter and his feeble clutch on life is
nightly growing looser. She talks to
me—this poor mother ! this brave, los
ing fighter!—of the time when he will
walk, knowing that the first step this
poor little crippled feet will take will
be in another world. 0, the poor souls
on this earth who fight blindly against
the ever - dancing, grimly stalking

‘‘You who are successful, in that you
are not fighting your battle of life
against hopeless disease or a nearby
approaching death: you whose wage is
equal to your necessities; you who lay
by a little each month for a rainy-day
fund, or you who count your wealth by
millions, will you not give the right,
hand of fellowship, share your sympa
thy or in some manner cheer the heart
of some proud, courageous, silent
lipped, losing fighter of your acquaint
ance?—grip the hand of some unfortu
nate who is struggling with increasing
expense and dwindling wage?—write a
note of gratitude to some one whose
work has inspired you?
‘‘Best of all, won’t you pause long
enough’each day to bestow a helpful
thought on the great and noble army
of losing lighters in tins world?”

They parted as gills; they met as
women.
‘‘And what of all your sweethearts?”
asked the old-time chum.
“Gone the way of all good things,”
answered the captivator.
‘‘That tall, lanky blonde, with the
fierce mustache, for instance?”
“Went insane.”
‘‘Gracious! Ami Jimmy Bowles—
‘the little muskrat.’ as you used to
call him, who was so devoted?”
“Killed in an auto accident trying
to save my life.”
‘‘Dear me! And your needy artist
swain, who found you the only custo

‘‘Became a waiter and married an
heiress. ”
“Well, well! The Englishman—St.
Glair, who stood so well on !us feet,
never said anything hut 'yes’ and ‘no,’
and despised everything American?”
“Married a Brooklyn girl and now
lives at Sivamphurst, N. ,1.”
“And the kinky-haired little French

“Ran awav with my maid.”
“Worse and worse! And how about
Reggie? You did profess to love him,

“Now my brother-in-law.”
“Never! Well, that Mr. Hardflint,

Many people are embarrassed by un
constrainable fits of sneezing in public
places, which make them very conspic
uous. It can be easily stopped. Just
press firmly upon the middle,of the up
per lip with tlie finger, and the tick
ling sensation in the nose will disap
pear. It rarely fails. The theory is
that a nerve, which plays an important
part in the sneezing, lavs under the
lip. and is paralyzed by the pressure on
the lip.

i Waiting for Some Man to Come Along.
j Orinen S. Marnden in Sucrem Magazine.
1 Woman has been handicapped through
! the ages by being brought up to think
I that there is not much worth while in
life outside of marriage.
How many precious years and oppor
tunities for growth, for life
ment, she has missed while waiting f
marriage!
Even to-day, in this progressive age,
we see young women everywhere with
splendid possibilities who seem to he
just waiting, waiting, waiting for
what they have been brought up to be
lieve is the supreme event in their
lives. Many of them might broaden
their education and improve themselves
wonderfully while they are waiting for
the right man to come along. Did they
hut know it. they are not half as likely
to find the right man while waiting in
actively as when they are vigorously
preparing themselves for a large and
useful life.
It is most unfortunate that any girl
should he brought, up to-day with the
antiquated idea that marriage is every
thing, and that other things do not
count much.
The traditions of the past, however,
are rapidly falling away from the
emancipated woman of the twentieth
century. In this new era tens of thou
sands of girls have found glorious open
ings in all departments of life.
Vast fields of usefulness are await
ing women on every side. She is realiz
ing that achievement is sexless; that
she can he just as independent as man,
and that there are just as many oppor
tunities and fields of usefulness for
her.
Who can estimate what this era
means to the plain girl the girl with
splendid mental powers, hut who may
lie physically unattractive, or who may
prefer a single life?
Grandma’s Destination.
Woman’H Home Companion.
Ethel is of the mature age of 5. Re
cently her grandmother concluded that
it devolved on her to instruct the child
in religious matters.
“You must be a good girl, Ethel,”
she said. “Then you will go to heaven
when you die.”
Ethel seemd scarcely pleased with
this reward for exceptional conduct.
“Don’t you want to go to heaven?”
asked grandma with a look of re
proach.
“Oh. I don’t know,” temporized
Ethel. ”1 guess not.”
“Why not?” demanded grandma se
verely.
“Because maybe 1 couldn’t get out, ”
answered Ethel.
“You wouldn’t want to get out,” re
plied grandma.
“Oh, yes, 1 would,” returned Ethel
with conviction.
“No,” argued grandma, “you would
not. Why should you want to get out
of heaven?”
“Why,” answered Ethel, ”1 guess
I’d want to go and see you once in a
while, wouldn’t 1?”

Where Character Won.
Walker County Me.iBRnger.
In the life of Judge Price Edwards,
who presided at LaFayette last week
during the first week’s session of
Walker Superior Court, there is a
chapter which should be so full of in
boys of the county
who may be struggling for an educa-
| tion, that we cannot keep from giving
it, even at the risk of offending our
friend, the Judge.
Judge Edwards was a poor boy, but
was determined to have an education
and entered the old Bowdon College.
At the completion of his sophomore
year his funds were exhausted and it
looked as if it would be necessary for
him to give up his ambition of complet
ing his college course.
Flut he had been an industrious stu
dent, and his sturdy character had not
only impressed the members of the fac
ulty, but the citizens of the town as
well. A citizen of Bowdon boarded him
the last two years, relying on the
promise of the boy that he would pay
him when he got out of school; his
school expenses, we are told by a friend
who knew the Judge in boyhood days,
were arranged the same way. Two
years after he graduated from Bowdon
Judge Edwards had paid his debt to his
benefactor and to the college, and to
day is the presiding Judge of the Tal
lapoosa circuit, with a future promis
ing still greater service to the people
and still greater honor to his alma ma
ter.
And what Price Edwards did in Har
alson, boys in Walker can do, too, if
they add to good character, industry
and determination.
We are told that we dig our graves
with our teeth, and many a poor man
finds that the butcher and the grocer
get the biggest part of the family in
come. Where one person is sorry be
cause of having voluntarily eaten too
little, there are thousands who every
day suffer for having eaten too much,
merely to satisfy the cravings of a de
ranged Stomach that was only asking
for rest. Plain, wholesome foods may
not “tickle the palate” as do the fan
cy, high-priced dishes, but the plain
foods make better blood, brain and
muscle, and leave a margin for the
cultivation of the mental and spiritual.
If too little has been taken at one meal,
it is easier to satisfy the appetite than,
having eaten too much, to do away
with the sluggish feeling which always
follows over-indulgence. The meal
should cease before the appetite is en
tirely satisfied, because a little time
should elapse before the outlying or
gans and tissues can feel the effects of
the food already taken.
Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi,
tells a story to illustrate his conception
of the difference between the treat
ment of the colored brother up North
and down South. A Mississippi darky
went up to Kansas and shortly got
stranded. He begged for food and shel
ter from door to door and got neither.
Finally he wandered back to Mississip
pi and knocked.
“What are you doing at my front
door, you black rascal?”
”1 wants som’p’n to eat. missus.”
“Well, go around to the back door
and get it then, you rascal,” said the
white lady.
Then the old negro, remembering
the polite way in which his requests
had been refused in Kansas, threw up
his hands and exclaimed :
“Bless Gawd, l’s amongst my own
people at last. ”
Young Cassidy, who tries hard to
forget that his father was once a hod
carrier, was blowing about his father’s
fine old' family. McGinnis, who knew
the old man when he lived in a mud
hut in the old country and wore a red
shirt to church, was standing by with a
look of disgust on his face.
“Now, when I visited my father’s
ancestral castle in Ireland,” he con
tinued.
‘*Br - r - roomp, ” snorted McGinnis.
“Yer father's ancistr - r - ral castle!
Br-r-roomp! Well do 1 know tha-a-t
same ancister-er-ral castle! Ye cu’d
stand on th’ roof iv yer father’s ancis-
ter-er-rul castle, an’ stick yer arm
down th’ chimney iv yer father’s an-
cister-er-rul castle, and open th’ front
door iv yer father’s an-cis-ter-ru-ral
castle.”
Dorando Pietri, defending at an Ital
ian banquet'his canny course in wear
ing a cigarette advertisement in the
race with Hayes, told an apposite story
of an Italian grave-digger.
”1 must accumulate all I can while 1
am here.” he said, “for over there in
Italy money is scarce. It is with me,
in fact, as it was with the grave-dig
ger.
“This grave-digger, after digging a
certain grave, put in a bill that was
exorbitant. When complaint of the
overcharge was made to him, he said :
“ ‘Well, the corpse and 1 had a row
five years ago over a cart 1 sold him,
and 1 could never make him pay me
what he owed. So seeing this was my
last chance, 1 thought I'd better take
it.’ ”

Men Do Not “Nag.”
Octave Thanet in Harper’s Bazar.
Men as husbands are not so faithful
as women; they are not so tender ; they
do not forgive, as women do, conduct
which disgraces them publicly; they
are not so patient with physical pain.
But they have one shining virtue; they
do not nag!
It is not like a man to thrash out an
old injury after every grain of circum
stance has been extracted and the Hail
raises nothing but dust. Nor is it like
a man to fumble into the traps of his
own logic and rescue himself by a
burst of temper or a flood of tears.
Men fly into passion over trifles just
about as much as women, and often
more violently. Their language, for in
stance, in regard to overdone beefsteak
frequently is not fit for a lady’s ears.
And it seems irrational to be upset, as
men are, by the misbehaving of collar
buttons. Still, it may be admitted that,
while they fly into a passion, they do
not fly into the same passion again and
again. And when they forgive, they
forgive ; they do not simply take the
offense away and put it in cold storage.
If you are a kicker and see the shad
ow of failure in everything that is
proposed to nelp the town, for heaven’s
sake go into some secluded canyon and
kick your own shadow on the clay-
bank, and thus give men who are work
ing to build up the town a chance. One
long-faced, hollow-eyed, whining kick
er can do more to keep away business
and capital from a town than all
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, cy
clones and blizzards combined.
If there’s one thing a boy enjoys see
ing more than a circus it is a dog fight.
THIRD
OPERATION
PREVENTED
By Lydia E. Pinkharn’s Veg=
etabie Compound
Chicago, 111. — “ I want to tell you
what Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable
Compound did for me. I was so sick
that t wo of the best doctors in Chicago
said I would die if I did not have an
operation. I had
already had two
operations, and
they wanted me to
go through a third
one. I suffered day
and night from in
flammation and a
small tumor, and
never thought of
seeing a well day
again. A friend
told me how Lydia
E. Pinkharn’s Veg
etable Compound had helped her, and
I tried it. and after the third bottle
was cured.” Mrs.Alvkna Si’kkllng,
II Langdon Street, Chicago, 111.
If you are ill do not drag along at
home or in your place of employment
until an operation is necessary, but
build up the feminine system, and re
move the cause of tho’se distressing
aches and pains by taking Lydia E.
Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs.
For thirty years it lias been the stan
dard remedy for female ills, and has
positively restored the health of thou-
sandsof women who have been t roubled
with displacements, inflammation, ul
ceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, bearing-down
feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizzi
ness. or nervous prostration. Why

Further unanswerable proof of the

a HEALS
•d«OLD SORE'S
No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic
ular spot; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would
heal them. Whenever a sore or nicer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at
fauit; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being
constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and
irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal.
These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional
trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs
in the system, or the absorption by the blood oi the fermented refuse matter
which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause
may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to
posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows
the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing
that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment.
Every symptom suggests pollution
and disease—the discharge, the red,
angry looking flesh, the pain and in
flammation, and the discoloration of
surrounding parts, all show that deep
down in the blood there are morbid
and dangerous forces at work, con
stantly creating poisons which may
in the end lead to Cancer. Local
applications are valuable only for
their cleansing and antiseptic effects;
they do not reach the blood, where
the real cause is located, and can
therefore have no real curative worth.
S. S. S. heals old sores by going down
to the fountain-head of the trouble
and driving out the poison-producing
germs and morbid matters which are
keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir
culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then
as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge
ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed,
and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri
fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi
tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

Seasonable Goods
I want to recommend S. S. S. to any who are
in need of a blood purifier, and especially as a
remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877
I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a
barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking
the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A
great sore formed and for years no one knows
what I suffered with the place. I tried, it
seemed to me, everything I hud ever heard cf,
but I got no relief and I thought I would have
to go through life with an angry, discharging
sore on ray leg. At last I began the use of
S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw
that the place was improving. I continued it
until it removed all the poison from my blood
and made a complete and permanent cure of
the sore. JNO. ELLIS.
