Ever since the days that Ad .ni and I e, e were in tiie garden of Eden the influence of woman Ims governed the world, tn ad nations the women devise p ..i:.s for the welfari* or downfall of those they agree with, or oppose. History gives a.i account of some good women and some wry bad ones. Abigail was nut ph a.-ied with her husband ana was glad when ho da. d, bo she could marry a better looking n eii. Jezebel was a bad woman and u.d u. groat many bad things. So from Eve to the pr» sent time woman's influence makes war and treaties of peace. And the inllu- ’■"■e exerted by tin in at their socials, where they offer the wineglass to the young men, has ruined thousands. This influence wili cause the destruction of ni; •:;> useful lives the country needs, and it -, ffei-t,’ will go on down the "stream of time" out into the great ocean of eternity. Hjw careful the girls, and young ladies as wHI. should b. in regard to their influence. I iiope tli" influence of all (tin* juniors at least) will be on the side of morality and the highest attainment in life, instead of on the side of drunkenness and degrada tion.

The barrt- rs ol si.'Pli ctsm anil prejudice have largely been Inok <n down. Men are more prone to b- l-evo i that, matters without th,- scope of llu-.r pr- - ' 1 belief may be so.

Nothing in the history of this evolution Is more remarkable than the change, of front; it has Induced a willingness to lis ten to re.l. >n- not to eomletnn in adv anee. This nlepilxity has resulted in universal toli-ranee, so that if we were told today that ti regular lino of transportation liad bemi established between earth and mom, men would listen ere they would be pre pared to condemn.

In giving it to the public, there are no misgivings that it may not ac complish all that may lie claimed. Know ing, Indeed, that a just public will duly reward modesty, It shall err, If at all, in the direction of understatement.

Bartow Philosopher. H’S HOME IS ROBBED OF MONEY He Declares That the Whole Set of Tramps Are Adepts in the Art of Stealing. "Hark, hark, the dogs do bark; The burglars have come to town.” For fifteen years tills lias been an order ly, peaceable and hum . town. Ever since the saloons were abolished there has b- 1 n no disturbance of the public tranquillity. During all that time our doors have not been locked at night nor lias our «-hi* ken roost b< ' n robbed by tiie fowl invader. The presence of our faithful dog may have been our protection, for there have been some lew chickens stolen in these pans. Our neighbor, ( barley I’att.rson, suffered some In that way until he bought the old gallows on which a man was hung a few years ago and built a chicken house of the timber. Since then lie cin hardly get a darky to put chickens in it by day, much less to take them out by night. But our negroes In and around Cart--isville are a (.'lever, industrious people and a : honest as mankind are gemraiiy. The domestic servants will lake some lib' rties with lit tle things that they think w-- won't miss, but they have many good traits that arc a. Set-off, and so We compromise on general principles. But now the burglars have come to town and alarmed the whole community. J be lieve they corne from up north where every bad thing conns from, even io bad weather.

"How do you travel,” said she, “If you have no money?” ‘•Well, I ride on tho freights until they put me off," he said, "and then 1 wait lor another one and ride some more. I am just taking a little trip now to e the country. and they took the rounds asking lor some thing to eat and always got it. ,My opin ion is that they are prolessional thi-.w s and their purpose in calling at so many houses is to pro pent the firemises.

The deafness In all these cases was de pi nd nt upon eatariii of the middle ear. It follows as a matter of course that the only way the d'afni s could be cured was to cure the catarrh. Any ease of catarrh of throat or In nd is liable to become catarrh of the midd'e i ar and produce deafness. Pe-ru-na. is tiie only effective in:;, ia il remedy in the e cases. Any and ail odv r tn atment simply a waste of time. There tire thlee classes of people who are. Invited to write Dr. Hartman.. Hirst, those who desire to become thoroughly posted on catarrhal diseases. Second, those who ar. taking Pe-ru-na, for catarrh, but de ire to put. thcm.-elves under Dr. Hartman's .-.-p. eial advice until they are entirely cur.'!.
