A BLUE SKY BALLAD.
“Hang sorrow! Care will kill a cat.
And therefore let’s be merry.”
Thought Fate may spill some milk, there
still
Is lots more in the. dairy.
But granting that there were no more,
Why growl about our lot or
Feel sore distressed, since milk at best
Is more than four-fifths water.
The true philosopher is one
Who wastes no time In fretting
O’er some line peach beyond his reach,
But likes the fruit he’s getting.
So let’s be wise in our affairs.
And, cleverly beguiling
Dame Fortune’s frown, go up and down
This good old world a-smlling.
Nixon Waterman In July Woman's
Homo Companion.
believeTtT yourself.
The above is the title of an article in
the July Woman’s Home Companion that
gives excellent advice to timid people. If
there is any class of people In the world
to be pitied It is such as never seem
to have confidence in anything they
do or say. They are shrinking and tim
id. always fearing criticism. To believe
in oneself is to make other people be
lieve in you. If you send for a physi
cian and he comes with a diffident, timid
manner into the sick room, you at once
lose confidence In him; but if he comes
cheerful and smiling with a confident air
of knowing just what is the matter with
ths patient, you are at once inspired
with courage and feel a load of anxiety
lifted from off your heart.
If you are a close observer you will find
only those people who believe In them
selves ever are the ones who make a
success in life.
Faith in oneself causes a determination
to succeed in whatever one undertakes,
if one fully believes they will accomplish
a certain mission or task which they
hive set themselves they will work with,
energy, being determined to make the
world believe in them as they believe in
themselves. The writer in The Home
Companion gives an amusing experiment
of a psychologist with a timid chicken.
His story of a timid chicken and how
it was trained to bravery point* a les
son to the diffident.
"The chick was so timid that he ran
from the least intrusion. If another chick
picked at him. ho ran. If he was jostled
bv his brothers in a scramble for food
he withdrew from the scramble out of
pure fear. But the psychologist set about
teaching him to believe in himself. By
enticing the other chickens with food he
made them run from the timid chick.
Presently the chick began to run after
them; and as they ran away when he
chased, ho believed that they were afraid
of him. and courage flamed in his breast
Bittle ' y little he got braver, and he
Chara ’ bat ' r. II? was so sot up that he
1. to a-.i.iek the others in front as
well as in the rear. Ho was so used to
have them run from him that he had
forgotten what it was to bo afraid. Tie
became a fighter, and in the end the
others ran from Mm in earnest. He
was just tl;o same chicken, so far as
Ids physical powers were concerned—that
Is. the same in relation to the other
'hicks. Only one thing had changed—
now he believed in himself and the hen
yard was his oyster.”
This is certainly a good lesson for
the timid, which class by far outnumber
the believers in themselves. The writer
goes on to say:
"Human beings are not very different
from chickens. If you tire afraid of the
world, the world will misuse you. If you
march vUinntly forward, it will retreat
before you. If you take the word ‘fail'
out of your bright lexicon, you do not fail.
It all lies in what you believe you can
do. Believe, then, in yourself. Never fear
failure er hesitate to do a thing be
you thin you v Ino t
Just gird yourself up, and go after what
you want, and in nine cases out Os ten
vou will get it.”
If everycno would follow this advice
there would be fewer failures and many
more successful 1 onle in this world. It
Is well indeed to take the word “faH” out
of your dictionary.
A HEART TO HEART THOUGHT.
Someone In The Bpworth Herald gives
us a beautiful thought, one it would be
well for each one of us to treasure up.
A missionary, whose busy life was
suddenly arrested by an illness that
brought her to the parting of the worlds,
■■ nd visions of service and Influence far
beyond the common bounds. “Oh,” said
»iie, “I never thought before of every
woman putting her hand under the hand
of every other woman! Had you ever
thought of it that way?” And her pale
face shone with smiles of joy aa she saw
the possibility of womanhood, the world
over, thus enlisted in mutual helpfulness.
The figure is worth pondering, for the
open palm extended in gieeting Is also
.iie g.-.-t :r ■ of a-distance and relief. It
is the sign of friendship and love, of
Invitation and good cheer. It expresses
.■ ’■ •■, o ~ity, jicrvict*, corisccrutioii* upli-lt
" What if that dream were realized and
every woman wiio knows His love would
r.nch her hand of sympathy and help to
ward every other woman for whom He
died? , , ,
With us this need not be a dream, but
a reality. Don’t let us wait until we come,
t > "the parting of the worlds’ to realize
what we could have done, but "let us
v <>rk while is for 1 night coni-
<th when no one can work.” It is a
swe"t privilege to help another, tie can
not live to ourselves in this world. “Am

response ”Y'es" in every heart.

CURE FOR STAMMERING.
Irene Jones, Kearny, N. J.—Children
who stammer can be readily cured if
their tongues can be raised so as to cover
the upper lip and be lowered In like
manner to the lower lip and moved from
side to side, and the teeth are perfect
and the Ups. tongue and larynx are not
deformed. The cure Is to draw in a long
breath before speaking and to divide
the sentence to be spoken into syllables,
marking time for each syllable with the
thumb and index finger of the right hand
or lightly with the right foot. Those
rules must ba observed for at least two
weeks or a month in bad cases. Boys
and girls tn school should be taught
separate during the treatment, the teach
er being instructed to make the pupils
speak to him or her In syllables. With
grown persons it may take more time,
but all should be cured in a month.. I
have never known this cure to fail. It
is not mine, but it belongs to Dr. Colom
ba t. a famous French physician, who
gave It freely to benefit humanity. Per
sons who try this cure need not be em
barrassed about speaking in measured
syllables. They should be convinced that
their new method of speaking will last
for only a short time, and anyway ft is
better than the grimaces and painful ef
forts the poor sufferers have to undergo
in order to articulate certain words.

Still Another Case Cured by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
The story of the cure of Henry J. Hub
bard, of Wittens, Ohio, from paralysis,
will bring hope to others afflicted as he
was. He was helpless and utterly dis
couraged. He had been getting worse
and worse, month by month. First it
made him unable to work, then he could
not walk, then he could not even raise
a hand to feed himself; he could not
move any part of his body except his
head.
“I heard of Mr. Lee F. Cypher, of Sis
tersville, a neighboring town In West
Virginia, who 'nad been cured of par
alysis by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People,” says Mr. Hubbard in tell
ing the story of his cure, "and my son
took mo over to see Idm. It gave me
new courage to hear him tell how easily
he found relief, for I had given up hope
of ever being able to move again. I was
perfectly helpless. When 1 was first
taken I was treated by three physicians,
one of them a specialist, but 1 got worse
instead of bettor. I could both walk and
feed myself when I began doctoring with
them, but finally I could move nothing
except my head. The doctors’ medicine
caused my stomach to pain me a great
deal; it didn’t help mo a bit, and, as I
said. I got discouraged.
"Thon, after I saw Mr. Cypher, and
he told mo that Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis
for Palo People had accomplished such
a wonderful euro in his case. I decided
to take this remedy myself. In about
three weeks after beginning with the
pills I noticed a change for the better.
Now I can walk and get around all
right.”
The first symptoms of partial paralysis
are: Trembling of the hands: sudden loss
of power in arms or logs, frequently af
fecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncontrollable quivering of
tho chin: severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Paralysis may be caused by ex
posure, emotional influence, venereal ex
cesses and other diseases The approach
of tho disease Is generally gradual. Fre
quently the first warning Is a vague feel
ing of headache, vertigo and muscular
weakness. Tho best method of treat
ment is to restore the nutrition and vi
tality of tho nerves by using Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Palo People.
a half or two hours it will rise suf
ficient to make up. Put a. little salt and
lard in tho flour, pour in the yeast and
only use water enough to rinse tho yeast
out of tho vessel, using warm water, mold
and put into greased pans; let it rise and

To make corn lightbread: To a quart
of boiling water add meal to make a
mush, then salt and enough of cold water
so that you can bear your hand in; then
thicken to a mush, put it where it will
keep warm, let stand all night; next
morning stir it down and if needed add a
little meal, grease the vessel, put in the
stove and bake.

of March 14. 1900, which permits t’he or

sand inhabitants. Prior to that time the
minimum amount of capital with which a
national bank could be organized was
$50,000 in any place the papulation of
which did not_exceed six thousand inhab
itants. The effect of this high limitation
was to deprive many of the thriving
towns and small cities of the country, es
pecially in the south, and west, of national
banking facilities. It was one of the rea

banking system in those sections of the

The extent to which the facilities offered
by the act oi March 14, 1900, have been
availed of, is shown by tha fact that
since that date have been organ

banks, of which but nineteen are located
in thq New England states, and but 297
in the eastern states, while the southern

Some of tho southern states still seem
to be backward about organizing banks
under the national system. Next to Texas
In the number of new banks organized in
the southern states come the border states
of Virginia and West Virginia, with :’,4
and 33 new banks, respectively. Next
come Kentucky with 26, Georgia with 22,
Alabama with IS, Louisiana and Tennes
see witli 14 each, Mississippi wf.tli 9, Flor
ida and Arkansas with 8 each, and South
Carolina with but '5. South Carolina,
Florida and Mississippi have been partic
ularly slow In availing themselves of the
opportunity to organize national banks
in small communities, each state having
organized but 2. In Arkansas live of the
smaller banks have been organized; in
Louisiana 6; in Alabama 7; In Tennessee
8; in Georgia and North Carolina 12 each;
in Kentucky 13; and in Virginia ami West
Virginia 20 each.
In some quarters fear has been ex
pressed that the organization of a largo
numl er of mi.ill national banks woulj
prove a squrce of weakness in times of
financial stringency. This fear la not en
tertained. however, by the comptroller
of the qurrency and others who have
made a special sludy of the subject. It is
bellqivd rather tluix the banking system
of the country as u. whole Igis been
strengthened rathyg- than weakened by
the operation of th.« bjw of March 14. 1909.
The principal reasoxtfur this is that about
44 per cent of the small banks organized
under tha_t law repri-se.it conversions of
state banks or reorganizations of state
and private banks. In manv of these,
cases tlie banks tha.t have beejj converted
or reorganized were relatively yveak state
or private banks with less than tho mlni
murji capital required for their incorpora
tion Into the national system. They have
not only been forced to strengthen them
selves on entering Into that system, but
they are now subject to the rigid regula
tions and Inspection prescribed by the na
tional bank act ami the officials of the
comptroller's office believe that in times
of stringency the small banks will give
fully as good an account of themselves as
the larger ones.

CECIL RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.
Memorandum Prepared for College
Authorities in United States.
New York, July 7.—The trustees of the
will of Cecil Rhodes have prepared a
memorandum for the Information of col
lege authorities and intending candidates
fcr Rhodes scholarships in the United
States. The first election of scholars in
the United States under the bequest will
be held between February and May,
1'64, and the elected scholars will com
mence residence in October.
A qualifying examination will be held
in each state and territory, or at centers
which can be easily reached. This ex
amination is not competitive, but is in
tended to give assurance that all can
didates are fully qualified for a course
at Oxford university. It will therefore
be based on the requirements for the
first public examination exacted by the.
university from each candidate lor a
degree. The Rhodes scholars will be se
lected from candidates who have suc
cessfully passed this examination. One
scholar will be chosen for eacli state and
territory to which scholarships are as
signed.

Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed
her signature to the following letter, praises
Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : There are but few wives and mothers who
have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know.
I wish such women knew the value of Eydia E. Pinkham's 5 egetable
(joiiipouud. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any
I ever knew and thoroughly reliable.
“ I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma
nent benefit, who were cured in less than three months aftei t
Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and iucuralke
came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment
with this medicine. 1 have never used it inyselt without gaining great
benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up
tho entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, ben a
1 fully endorse it.” Mrs. IC A. Anderson, 225 Washington St., Jack-
Bonville, Fla.

Mrs. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., says?
jghg., “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I feel it my duty
to write and tell you the good I have i- ce - d
from Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Com
s pound.
M “I have been a great sufferer with fem i’e
K trouble, trying different doctors and medicines
~ 17 with no benefit. Two years ago I went under
an operation, and it left me in a very weak
condition. I had stomach trouble, backache,
~~~ headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very
nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find
V-. .yours is the only medicine that reaches
f such troubles, and would cheerfully ree-
m l p ommendl.ydiaJLPinkham’s Vegetable

When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak
ness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing- down
feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility,
: indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried
and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
The experience and testimony of some of the most noted
: women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia Fi.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at
once by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a health;
and normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, as thousands do.
No other medicine in the world has received such widespread
| unqualified endorsement. Noether medicine has such a record of c-iics

Brave Daughter of Sheriff Made
Lynchers Scamper.
Columbia. S. ('., July 7.—(Special.)
Sheriff Lewis Creech, of Barnes, is proud
of Ids daughter, Mary, and under the cir
cumstances he is justified. The young
woman saved him from the disgrace of
having one of his prisoners taken from
jail and lynched—a white prisoner at that.
Seaborn Moore surrendered to the
sheriff last Sunday morning, reporting
that he bad in a quarrel with Herbert
Sanders, at a dance the night before,
fatally shot him.
Last night Sheriff Creech went into the
county and left his daughter in charge of
his house. The jail is in the same build
ing and the girl had the keys.
About 10 o'clock there was a noise in
the yard and opening the door, Miss
Creech was met by a dozen masked men.
