If by words yon con-vinced one of what you tliought true. Then later found you had been wrong. Go tell your mistake; it is what you, must do If you to the brave would belong. Unrighted wrongs: you may leave them behind, 1: .1 you'll meet them again on your From dark graves of the past where it seemed none could find The.''ll appear on the great Judgment Bay.

IMOGENE Ml RRAY. Mableton, Ga. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN. It i- to be regretted that there seems t 1 be a growing disposition to debar wenicii from employment in the depart ■n- its in Washington. This is very evi mong the high officials. It has al - been a pleasure to watch the large Hamner of females (if one happens to in Washington and near any of the p. rrmcnts about 4 p. m.) and see m . s they pour out. of those buildings tics hour. I have often watched e r,a and thought of the many homes • pr seated. Widows with no other •ms of support, young women earing aged parents and women who have • n ■fr with children to educate whose fathers have given up their lives for tia-jr country, and as 1 thought of their different lots in life it seemed such a ■ >rt::natc tiling that <> ir executive de partments did give employment to v omen. So it is a matter of much regret to know the sentiments of the officials are • hanging and there seems to be an in creasing antipathy to women clerks. Late statistics of the government show that "f more than 25,000 employees in the de partments nearly 7.000 arc women. The treasury department shows the largest number of woim-n clerks; next comes the interior ai d the census bureau iis i very large number. The white house forces and the interstate commerce ■ ommission are n ally the only govern ment establishments where no women are employed in the clerical force. We are indebted tn The Wisconsin Cit:- z< n for the information that “for bx not a woman has been selected 'roni the civil service list of ellgib'.os for .".-itions in the pension office;" also. •Tat not long ago the commissioners <■ db ■! the attention of the chiefs of the c ans to the fact that men were se . irinv appointments as stenographers ■.. grad< were down in the seventies, while 'in eligible list bore the names of von ■ who had secured marks of 90 or mor. n ;he stenographic examinations."

It is encouraging to know the dislike 1 for "employing women does not extend to all branches of the department of the interior. The patent office prefers women typewriters and seldom employs non for work which is suited to women." The necessity for a thorough prepara tion to battle with life is more plainly manifested each year, and our young women who expect to join the army of i "bread winners" should feel tiie impor tance of fitting themselves for their work.

GEORGE W, OUTCALT How He Extricated Himself From A Serious Difficulty. Flow George W. Outealt, a well known merchant of Wellston, Oklahoma, re cently succeeded In extricating himself from a serious difficulty is one of the in teresting stories now going the rounds of the papers. ■ I had been working very hard.” he says in telling the story. "Fur a long time I had 'given almost every moment of my attention to my business and 1 did not notice what effect this was having on me. But, finally, I saw that my health was giving away—l was getting thin, was always tired and easily out of breath; my blood was poor, my stomach bad. Evi ry now and then I would be dizzy and any little exertion would ex haust me completely, in short, 1 was ail run-down. "Then one day 1 saw an advertisement which i»-d nie to try IT.

I felt, better in a few days. .My flesh l ame back till I regained my not nial weight, my appetite returned and my general health is now better Ilian ii had been for-many years. I have recom mended Or. Williams’ Pink Pills to many of my friends and am glad of Ibis opportunity to tell wlial the remedy has done for me." What J»r. Williams' Pink Pills for P le People did for -Mr. Outealt they will do for others similarly afflicted. They are different from ordinary medicine be cause they act directly on the blood and nerves. They have cured stubborn eases of locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica., neuralgia, rheu matism, nervous headache, the alter ef fects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or fe male.

For the prevention of lockjaw from wounds produced from stepping on nails or similar accident, taka some live coals and pour sugar over them; hold the wounded member oct the smoke as close to the fire as can be borne, for 15 minutes; bind tiie wound after smoking with sugar thoroughly saturated with i spirits of turpentine. It will prevent any iHiplcas.i ut or dangerous effects from the I wound. This should be just, as soon as : possible after receiving the wound. A flower not placed over the coals renders tiie smoking easy to perform. (MRS.) HARRIET N. SUTTON. Big i■i k < 1.1. GALL STONES.

Colley, Morgan, Ga.—Since my last letter to the Kingdom, In which I made mention of my canner, 1 have received so many letters from far and near—even far-off Brazil—not only the sisters, but the men also seem greatly interested in what I had to say, and it was, indeed, very gratifying to know I had written a few words from which a little good might be derived. One sister remarked in her letter to me that my letter in The Constitution came to her "as an answer to a prayer" and that still gave me a greater overflow of joy, for I do desire so much to be instrumental in doing some good. It requires so much time to write each sister a personal let ter, so I take this plan of answering a few of their questions. My canner cost .$12.50, weighs about 20 pounds, can be used indoors, out under the fruit trees or in the garden, and no one doubts tfae supe riority of fruits and vegetables freshly gathered free from bruises and injury by handling and hauling.

Tanner, died at his horne in Clinchem district last Saturday afternoon under somewhat peculiar circumstances, and it was decid ed yesterday by Coroner Dorsey to hold an inquest over his remains. Tanner was only 19 years of age, and was martigd two months ago to Miss Onie Duncan, daughter of I. Frank Dun can, a wealthy planter, of this county. On acount of statement? alleged to have been made by the young bride, she is held pending a full investigation of the death of her husband. The manner in which Tanner met death Is alleged to have been by reason of strychnine being placed in a glass of but termilk. which he drank for dinner last Saturday. After drinking a swallow or two of the milk. Tanner is said to have remarked to his wife that there was some thing the matter with the milk, and in sisted on her tasting if. This she did, and finding it was wrong, she spit it out of her mouth. Tanner, it is said, declined to drink any more, and got up from the table and carried it tp the hog pen and poured it out. A hog which drank some of the milk died in a few moments, and a dog which drank some of it likewise died in great agony in a few moments. In just a little while after drinking the milk. Tanner became deathly sick and went to the house of his uncle, about 25 yards away, telling the family that he had been poisoned and that he was go ing to die. They worked with him hero ically, but in forty-live minutes his life had passed away. After his death ru mors began to float around that Tanner had been poisoned by his wife, and this finally caqged an inquest to be held by Coroner Dorsw>'_ n TRAIN RUSHED- LIKE WIND. | Lakeshore Limited Ran 134 Miles in 114 Minutes.
