DON’T LOOK FOR FLAWS.
Don't look for the flaws as you go
through life;
And even when you find them,
It is wise and Jdnd to be-somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of
light
Somewhere In Its shadows hiding.
It Is better by far to hunt for a star.
Than the spits on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away.
To the bosom of God's great ocean;
Don’t set your force ’gainst the river
course
And think to alter Its motion.
—FLORENCH NEENAN.
BORROWING NEIGHBORS.
What subject could be more suitable to
Womants Kingdom than to discuss that
of “borrowing neighbors?”
If there is one class of people in the
world more to be dreaded than another
It is a neighbor who is continually bor
rowing. Not long since I visited a family
In the country, and the articles borrowed
by a neighbor were a revelation to me.
Each day almost there came some queer
request—l think from a pint of milk
up to wagon and horse could scarcely
cover the ground. Could people only
realize what a pest they heroine, surely
the habit, of borrowing would cease.
There is no excuse for city people.
Sometimes In the country many things
cannot bo bought, b it in a city house
hold goods especially can be obtained
at so small a cost that there is no ex
cuse for borrowers. Every ore who
manages right can afford to keep a step
ladder, scrubbing brush, preserving ket
tle. wheelbarrow and numbers of other
things that every housekeeper ought to
have, and yet those who do provide
themselves with such convenient and nec
essary comforts have to see them lit
erally worn out by their neighbors.
One gets used to the continual demand
for a cup of rice, or sugar, or vinegar,
sometimes returned, but often not. “Pa
tience,” often, “ceases to be a virtue,”
especially when your nice preserving
kettle Is returned burnt and ruined
from cooking okra and tomatoes; but it
is all In a body’s I fetlme, and If we
did not have this to trouble us, doubt
less there would be something else that
would.
A sister writing in the July Woman’s
Homo Companion has certainly had
some experience, if she has not been a
sufferer, and wo mtlier judge the latter.
She gives some such good augges’lon'j
tiiat we submit them for the benefit of
other sufferers:
“Make special provision for the ‘always
borrowing and never-returning’ neigh
bor. Keep a 6-cent scrubbing brush
handy, and your good brush nowhere
tn biglil. Having learned from experi
ence that borrowed napkins never coma
home, loan the ragged ones (nicely ironed,
so the li 1- s do not show when folded),
or Imv .< new, cheap set, and always
keep them ready. ’Site’ can’t object to
then s i long as they are new. and you
will s< ->n save their price by not having
your best ones lost or used as jelly
strainer.- (Neighbors sometimes do these
things) A cracked lamp chimney is
Just as good to loan, and will probably
eome home in ns good condition as would
anj other. If you have an old carpet
stretcher that you never think of using,
don’t throw It away; it will be conve
nient for the ‘ln ly next door’ in the spring
and autumn. Give one of the boys the
tack hammer to keep, then when it is
asked for 01 course you do not know
where it is. (Caution—lie sure to keep
the boy where you can easily find him
when you want to use the hammer.)
postage stamps may be kept in a tin
box on th" back porch, and you may
conscientiously say, “I don’t believe
there's a stamp in the house.” Fibs are
not to be < ncoiiraged, but it often does
lequlre considerable planning, scheming
and strategy to keep one’s private be
longings, from a toothbrush to a fur
oar. and the family property, from the
irk screw to the baby, anywhere near
1 believe th.- only thing exempt from
habitual borrowers are babies or children.
No one wants them. '1 lie best advice to
be given -s, if possible, keep from being a
"borrowing neighbor” and making your
e- ls a constant nuisance.
“ANSWERED PRAYER.”
Among my friends I number one who
is a <icir little woman that only lives to
do good and help others. She Is a minis
rer’s wife, and fills that position perfect
ly. She does as much good as her hus
band. for she is indeed his “helpmeet.”
She is also a writer, and not long silica
gave me a little leaflet she had written
that I etij-'w d so much 1 felt I would
like my read-us to share it with me. It
may touch some ho art and comfort some
sorrowing soul. The title is as above:
“Let us prat.” said the minister. The
congri g.-.tlon reverently arose cind to
gether th> y prayed. "O God, whose never
failing Providence ordereth all things both
In heaven and earth; we humbly beseech
Thee to put away from us ail hurtful
things that would separate us from Thee,
and give us those things that be profit
able for us; through Jesus Christ, Thy
Son. our Lord, who liveth and reigneth
with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one
God, world without end. Amon.”
• * • ♦ •
Months afterwards, when a. mother who
hh-l with earnestness johied in the prayer,
had so: gotten it. her Heavenly Father
remembered and in mercy answered.
To her Ho gave two children. She was
a devoted mpther and gave herself to her
children. Lately it had seemed almost
Imposslblefto leave them long enough to
attend the church service.
She had stopped trying to attend the
Missionary Society, and the superintend-
Cholera Infantum
There is no danger whatever from this disease when
taken in time and properly treated. All that is necessary
is to give
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
after each operation of the bowels more than natural and then
castor oil to cleanse the system. It is safe and sure. When
reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take.
ent had boon obliged to find another
teacher for her Sunday school class. Her
1 fust duty, of course, was to her children,
and when that was over there seemed to
be no time for other duties. Even the
time she used to spend in meditation and
secret prayer now was claimed by her
children.
Her pastor saw that she was not living
near the Lord as she had in the past, and
he was troubled but knew not what
to do.
The Father, too. saw, and knowing what
was separating her from Him, took the
llttles ones to Himself. The papers an
nounced the sad and untimely death of
two little children, but the Father knew
that a prayer had been answered and that
that which had separated a soul from its
God had been removed.
In anguish the mother looked up to
see what hand had so afflicted her and
saw the loving hand of an all-wise Father.
She had prayed that God would remove
that which separated her from Him and
He had answered. There were no baby
voices now to call her from her devotions,
'and she had time to draw near to God.
Now that it was too late, she saw that
there was no conflict, between her duty
to her children and to her God, unless she
made it so. Now she saw that the little
ones which had separated her from G-od
who gave them, should have bound her
more closely to Him. She saw now that
she had made her children an excuse tor
neglected duty. The poor bleeding heart
that had nowhere else to turn looked to
the Lord for healing, and tenderly He
, healed it.
“THE JACKET OF GRAY.”
What a wonderful paper our Constitu
tion is—a circulation that takes in the
whole country and crosses the ocean.
This Is hard to realize, but let a little
notice catch the eye that pleases the
fancy, arid then see the letters pour In
making inquiries, then you would know
what the circulation of our Weekly is.
Not long since we noticed a piece of
musjo composed by a confederate vet
eran, S. B. Woodberry, of Charleston, S.
C. It begins:
1 “Fold it up carefully.
Lay It aside.
Look on It tenderly.
Touch it with pride ”
This music Is being sold by Miss Rosa
Woodberry, Athens, Ga. Forty cents a
copy, for the benefit entirely of the Win
nie Davis memorial hall now being built
in that city. We failed In our previous
notice to mention price of music, hence
letters have poured In from every state
in the union, north, south, east and west.
It is a beautiful song and being used
for a good cause. Address Miss Rosa

RETROSPECTION
(Inscribed to Mrs. E. T. Harwell, of
Harris County. Georgia.)
I love to ponder o’er the past—
When life was fair and bright,
When glowing stars their beauty cast
A stream of heavenly light.
Imbued with love's Immortal fire,
To nourish germs of thought
And Joys more fitting to-lnspire
Than all that age hath wrought.
These are thy fruits, oh! waning years—
A consecrated host—
Recalled from all that most endears.
Os which fair Time may boast
No sweeter theme, Love's rosy bend.
The glory of old days,
United both In heart and hand
And Virtue's winning ways.
The young, the proud, the true, the
brave.
In matchless spirit free.
Who died, alas! their land to save
From wrongs that should not be.
Despite of every ill they bore.
The glory still Is theirs—
A watchword from the days of yore.
In which my spirit shares.
Give back, oh Time! the drcams of youth-*
The beauty of those hours—
Each glorious token of the truth
Gleaned from affection’s flowers;
The freshness that the heavens diffused
From mountain, wood and vale;
The kindred stars on which I mused,
That never once grew pale.
Oh! wake once more the gentle strain.
So musical and sweet.
And bear me back In dreams again,
Where household kindred meet—
To mother, who repaid the trust
To her by love then given.
Whose form now mingles with the dust,
But»-mother lives in heaven.
The shadows of long years extend
And reach Into my heart;
But hope and joy with duties blend
And form the better part.
Perchance a glow of love divine
May o’er my soul be cast—
‘Tis all I ask at heaven’s shrine
When nil of earth Is past.

KINGDOM CORRESPONDENCE.
J. McAnderson, Georgetown, S. (?.
Will you please find out for mo, if you
can, through The Constitution the where
abouts of J. T. Anderson, formerly of
Bucksvllle, 8. C., Horry county. Any In
formation will be gladly received and
postage returned. Ijist seen In Charles
ton, S. C., and Is supposed to be in Geor
gia somewhere. His children are very
anxious to hear about him. also bls
grandchildren. It Is to hfs Interest that
we would like to hear from him.
"A Subscriber.”—Won’t some one please
give Woman’s Kingdom a good recipe
for making pickle that will keep a long
time? I get more eggs than we can con
sume. How can ? keep thorn frosh until
winter? I want a good home remedy for
catarrh of the head I guess .some one
will say, "She wants so much and gives
nothing.”
Mrs Jane Hart Henderson, Warrenton,
Va.—l enjoy reading The Constitution
very much, especially the Woman’s King
dom; but never before thought of writing.
Now I am so much In need of advice,
and dear Aunt Susie and the sisters show
sympathy and willingness to interest
themselves in the troubles of others,
therefore, hoping for some helpful sug
gestions. I make known the difficulty.
There lives quite near me a bright, at
tractive, young girl, aged 15. who often
comes to visit me and makes me the,
confidant of all her joys anil sorrows, and
often consults me In her perplexities.
She Is fond of good reading, and we ex
cliange everything of value In the literary
line that either one of us can procure,
and our discussions and conversations I
find helpful to myself, while endeavorlm-j
to supply my young friend with the men
tal food which she so craves and -which
she finds It not always easy to procure.
This child is extremely anxious for a
good scholastic education and the train
ing of a good school and an opportunity
to graduate. Thinking that some of the
bright sisters might be able to tell me of
some free scholarships or suggest some
method by which a girl entirely without
means might compass her great desire
and ambition. 1 pass her confidences on
to the Woman's Kingdom. I wish all of
the sisters who are fond of the young
could know this child, they would each
one wish to give her a word of encourage
ment. Her winning manner, radiant
smiles and bright and amusing conversa
tions make her presence always welcome
to old and young, for my little boys are
as much pleased as I when she can spare j
a few moments out of her busy life to |
gladden our home. The Infirm health of
her father unfits him for work, therefore
the mother and daughters, with willing
minds, but not very strong hands, carry
on the little farm and support the house
hold as best they can. All are busy,
and each one does her part cheerfully,
with very little in a remote country
neighborhood to brighten their Ilves. All
suggestions will bo thankfully received.
F. W. McComas, Ranger, W. Va.—Be
ing a reader of The Atlanta Constitution
I notice a member of the Woman's
Kingdom from south Georgia asks tor a
recipe for drying snap beans so that
they will taste fresh. In answer I will
say 1 know of no such recipe, but the
following is the way my mother ami
others in this country dry snap beans:
First, select the beans while they are
tender, and string them, but do not break
them except at one end as you do when
stringing for immediate use; then, take
a large sewing needle and about No. 30
spool thread and put as many on the
thread as is convenient to handle and
hang them on a pole or something else
around the stove until thoroughly dry. ,
and then pack uwav In a barrel or box '
and keep dry. And to prepare them fur
the table put as many as you choose to
cook in an cart hern vessel or a stove pot
and pour boiling water over them and
add about one teaspoonful of soda and I
let set over night. Next morning take I
them out of tills water and put them [
on and boll about five minutes, (hen take i

J WASTE OF MONEY
IN FRUITLESS EFFORTS TO
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE.
Not Artificial Digestion Hut Natural Di
gestion Is What Is Needed How
This May Be Obtained.
More money is spent experimenting
with worthless medicines for stomach
trouble than for any other disease. These
preparations may temporarily aid diges
tion, but they cannot euro indigestion.
They go at it the wrong way.
To permanently cure indigestion, dys
pepsia of other stomach trouble, the medi
cine should act upon the digestive organs
themselves—not upon their contents. It
should not do the stomach's work but
should make the stoma.h able to do its
own work.
Tills Is what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People will do as no other medi
cine can. They are not composed of di
gestive ferments, which promote an ar
tificial digestion, but they tone up the
stomach, restore the weakened functions
of the digestive organs and thereby pro
mote natural digestion, a ease in point
is that of Arthur McLaughlin, of No.
272 S North Lincoln street, Chicago, ills.
He says:
“For a. long time I was troubled with
severe pains in the stomach -a case of
chronic indigestion. 1 would feel a crav
ing for food, but when 1 ate I experi
enced those wretched pains which marly
drove'me distracted. My kidneys also
became affected. 1 tried several different
stomach medicines, and, for a while
they seemed to help me. Tli'i) the same
old pains would come back. Tills went,
on for nearly two years and at times I
was pretty much discouraged.
“One day a friend advised me to try
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
I did so. Before I finished a box the
pains were less frequent and less severe,
and by the time I had finished three
boxes the pains won- a. thing of the past.
Now I "an eat anything and enjoy it and
I feel like a new man.”

how I manage to not have so much to do
every morning:. I gather vegetables In
the evening and get them ready to cook
next morning, and it is a great deal of
help to one who h s as much to do as I
do. If the Indy at Race Pond, Ga., that

bunch beans; they grow over seven inches
long. I have forgotten her name. If any
of tha sisters ever put up any apples

You can put up tomatoes, corn and fruit
of all kinds the same way. Corn has to
be cooked six hours, tomatoes thirty

glorious Fourth arrived. Wo curbed our
frolicsome spirits sufficiently to make a
hasty toilet, then the whole family, even
the babies, jumped into the wagon and we

Strange Story of a Masquerader in
Mississippi.
Jackson, Miss., July 22.—(Special.)—De
tails have just reached here from Boone
ville of the manner In which the sex j
was revealed of Miss Willie Ray, the ’
i young woman who masqueraded in that ;
I community for eight years as a man i
| without being suspected even by the most ;
I Intimate neighbors, and a very breezy ;
1 little sensation is attached to the story. '
A young farmer named Jim Gatlin was 1
arrested and placed on trial for commit
ting an assault and battery on Willie
Ray, and in defense he claimed that the
whipping was administered because Ray
was too intimate witli his wife. The
supposed Lothario, with blackened eyes
and skinned head, was then placed on the
stand and created a profound surprise !
by declaring that she was a woman and
not a man, as had been believed in the I
community for eight years or more She ’
was a star witness in her own behalf,
and Gatlin was bound ov<-r to tlie circuit
court under a bond of $250, which he
was unable to give, and was sent to jail
Willie Ray still walks about tho streets .
of Booneville wearing her trousers. The ;
authorities attempted to force her to :
don female attire, but upon investigation
found that there is no slate law f.ubid- '
ding a woman from masquerading in

WIDOW’S RIGHTS SUSTAINED.
■ Important Decision in Florida Su
preme Court.
Tallahassee. Fla., July 22.- (Special.).- In
the very important ease of Benedict V.
Grainger, from Jacksonville, decided by
the Florida, supremo court today, the law
Is established in Florida that a widow
who qualities as executrix of her hus
band’s will, and unites wlv the co
executor in foreclosing several mortgages
of the estate, and buys in the property
for the use the estate, does not thereby
irrevocably elect the provisions made for
her in the will, and was not. thereby
estopped from afterwards dissenting from
the will, nor from electing to take a |
child's part in lieu of the provisions of I
the. will, and in lieu of dower. And that I
the widow having elected to take a child’s .
part, she would, like a child, lie obliged to j
contribute ratably from her share to the I
payment of debts and the costs of admin- {
istering the estate up to and including
the point of actual distribution. In other
words, that debts and costs of adminis
tering are to be first paid out of the
estate before there is a distribution. Os :
course she would not be obliged to pay
the costs of administering the trusts. The
widow's share of a child’s part Is held to
be superior to that of legacies. The
opinion is based largely upon decisions of
the supiome court of Georgia.

Boston Post: Behold she standeth upon

Yea. she poseth in the. eyes of the mul
titude.
Consider her get-up, how stwining it is!
Verily, she is as pure and white as the
lily of the field. Even Solomon, with 700 I
wives, was not arrayed like one of these, :
In her right hand is iu-r speech and in |
her left a bunch of cut flowers.
And when her name is called she
pranceth out into the calcium spot and I
boweth to those that are assembled to- j
gether to hearken unto her words of
wisdom. Thereupon she openeth her
mouth and speaketh thusly:
'‘Behold. 1 will strap on my sword and
buckleri Yea. I will go forth to battle.
Victory shall perch upon my banner, tor
1 shall grab the world by the scruff of
the neck and turn it upside down!”
She saith this and more, and then
sitteth down amid loud applause.
Then cometh the wise old guy with the
pink pate and the white whiskers who is
the mam steam of the wisdom factory,
and he giveth to her a sheep skin tied
about by baby blue ribbon.
Then she goeth away and meeteth a
man and becometh his wife and doeth
what she can ti
