BECAUSE.
Because my skies, once sunny.
Are changed to somber gray,
Need I keep casting shadows
Oer other people’s way?
Nay; rather. I’ll endeavor
To find In them some rift.
Through which may shine, the promlsa
Os brightness when they shift.
Because my harp no longer.
Since sorrow swept the strings.
Resounds with gladsome music.
But to the saddest sings.
Shall 1 send forth vibrations
Os grief, where'er 1 go.
Or learn, through mine own suffering. •
To lighten otljers’ wop?
—LURA BROWER.
“THE INVESTMENT OF INFLU
ENCE”
Not long since you were given a few
thoughts on ’’The Mission of the Streets.”
Those who read It, learned that one
bright, happy faco on the streets carried
j. -miration and encouragement to a
Btrangef.
We can never compute the Influence
we exert on others. Often unconsciously
we are sending out for good or evil an
Influence that, if lor good, sheds light
on some soul; it bad, darkness and shade
Is the result. t
s ine of the best books on this subject
ha- been written by Newell Dwight
Hillis, called the “Investment of In
ti ■ n:--.” and ho proves very conclusively
th t it is the very best Investment one
can make. lie speaks of the "atmos
phere a man carries.” He says, could
we test it. we would find every one's per
ron .litj the center of outreachlng In
fl ; m . and he is as utterly unconscious
nf t: exhalation of moral forces, as ho
Is < : the contagion of disease from his
body.
<>uo must live a pure life to throw
£• and others a pure atmosphere. Car
1. : • gives us an example of this:
•'During the riot in Paris in 1848, the
mob swept down a street, blazing with

gms. only to bo stopped a sow blocks
I -1 by an‘old. white haired man, who
tme-a,•!•,•..1 and signed for silence. Then
the 1, tder of the mob said, ‘Citizens, It
' D' la C-ure. Sixty years of pure Vifo
Is it to address you!’” So a “true
n -. . presence transformed a mob that
cannon could not conquer.” There are
s -iv instances of personality creat
ing 1.-• mpathetic atmosphere. Many
are given in the Bible—we remember
how King Agrippa trembled and was
afraid befpra Patil; the influence exerted
by the life of Sampel. and many others.
In -1 own Washington we hava -a
f klr.c- ifhisrratlon of the "atmosphere a
man carries,” the writer says of him:
Hi: «xpr>its were the smallest part of

SOUTHERN RECIPES.
While thTe are numerous delightful
recipes given by the readers of “Table
Tnlw ” I have never seen one for “tuttl
frutti.” or brandy peaches. There stands
on my pantry shelf three large jars that
would cause any housekeeper to thrill
with pride. They contain brandy peaches,
t’itl-fruti and watermelon rind preserves.
The peaches are In an old-fashion clear
glass candy jar that holds sixty-one and
size peaches. The beautiful yellow and
pink blush Is perfectly preserved and
looks very Inviting through the clear
sirup. Gather perfect peaches and drop
In a strong limo water a few- minutes,
then rub with a coarse towel and drop In

peaches three-quarters of a pound of

turnip seed. She asked me to write her a

was almost completely rubbed out, so sis

you. I still have plenty of both the turnip
teed and shallots. I think we all should
be more considerate of each otliei s feel

cusing each other of trying to cheat. 1

2 yds. of nice drawn work for some of her
winter cabbage seed,, but haven't lb- nil
from her yet, but I know from her nice
letters in “Our Kingdom” my time will
come after a while. Am very sorry she
did not have 2 bushels of seed instead of
a half, for so many want them. As she
said, “Better late thart never.”
Mrs. I.on M. Haile, Hcatli Spring. S. C.
I will tell the readies of the Kingdom
about a few of tho flowers that 1 have
enjoyed this.' year. First, was the car
mcllla japonicn It was. a. ' -op j>.“ k in
.loculated w. n white and it bloomed in
January and February. Next came I tio
lovely hyacinths of all colors, both single
and double. Th© whole garden was filled
witli their perfume. They are tho sure to
bloom bulbs. It is now time to order
the bulbs. 1 have a largo bed of them, bu
I always order new ones for the house. In
May I had a pink peony to bloom. It had
seven large blooms and they were very
fragrant. I cut them and put them in tlio
window where I could enjoy their beauty
and fragrance ttlill© sewing. I have enjoy
ed a vaso of roses ewrj’ dav since the first
of May. I am never too busy to run fn tile
garden and cut fresh roses every morn
ing whilo the dew Is on them. I havo a
very good colic tion of tea and hybrid
roses, but I add a few new one# to my
garden every year. Medea and bouquet of
gold are in full bloom now. They tire the
largest yellow roses that are grown. They
have long, stiff stems to them so that
they are desirable for cut 'flowers. Mo
sella is the loveliest rose that i have. It
is pure white with yellow center. I have
a largo number pf dahlias that 1 raised
from seed that are very pretty. They are
not like tho parent plant, lint a cross be
tween the two nearest together. I havo
several beds of verbena in nil colors f
Lave a double flowering pomegranite
which is just lovely while in bloom. The
white single oleander has bloomed twice
and is nearly ready to bloom again. Il is
out in tho yard in rich soil. The gerani
ums have grown and bloomed very nicely
this year. AVliile 1 love all flowers I am
passionately fond of the rose. I enjoy all
letters relining to flowers.
Miss Eli/ :beth S. Hall. Fr .ltville. Ala
The sisters all have so much tn say about
their flowers and chickens it makes me
feel like 1 want to say something about,
mine. J know that they would be delight
ed to see my yard. I have so many dif
ferent kinds of roses. The rose is my fa
vorite flower for more reasons than one.
I think it is one of the prettiest flowers
that blooms and is so little trouble; then
it puts out so early in the spring before
the annuals have geeped out of the
ground. 1 havo about eighty different,
kinds, nearly all of them 1 rooted my
self. It is such a pleasure to be able to
loot your own roses; you can get together
smh a large collection without any ex
pense except a little time. I have looted
about 300 cuttings this year. I have my
Hower yard fenced in so that the big
chickens cannot get in nor the little ones
out and raise my little chickens In there.
1 keep the old hens In a coop and Jet the
little chickens have tho yard all to them
selves. I wait until they are about 3 or 4
weeks old before I let them outside with
th© old hen. The little chickens are de
lighted to have a place to run where the
large chickens cannot run over them, and
you have no Idea how much better thej
will grow and how few you will lose.
Mrs. R. C. F., Fulford, Fla. —1 hava
been a subscriber to "our" paper nearly
two years now. and being a young house
keeper, always turn to Woman’s King
dom for help. I am much interested in
poultry, and any letter from the sisters
on that subject command my undivided
attention. 1 have about 100 head, most
ly young pullets, that I raised this last
winter from about twelve or fifteen old
ones, and they will soon begin laying,
which means lo us that our horse, our
selves (my husband and I) and tho
chickens will be kept off of the proceeds
I am trying an experiment with them
that I find profitable here where icea
is so high. Here we have mills that
make starch from the coontie root and
one can get the pulp simply by going
after it, and the chickens grow fond of
it after a few days. We just dump it
in heaps. it soon reduces feed bill, al
though will feed heavy, r when they be
gin laying again. Sorehead started
among my chickens and I used a 10 per

Everyone May Try.
“Six years ago, I was very Hl with
malaria,” says Mrs. M. D. Anderson, of
Auburn. Fiacer county, California, "but I

from my system by the use. of Dr. \\’ll

with alternate chills and fever. Doctors
did not help me and 1 had given up in de
spair when, on seeing Dr. Wjlliams' Fink
Fills mentioned in a. newspaper, 1 began
taking them. A few doses helped me piid

my recovery entirely to Dr. Williams’

After taking these pills for a. short while
I found to my uglonlsliment that it had

and since then there litis been uu sign
ut its returning.”
Afal.'iial poisoning, the usual after-ef
fect of malaria, is a persistent trouble
and can be eradicated from the system
only by < mri.-l'ing- and building up the
blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Bale
People have a double action -on tho
blood ami on the nerves. It is this
unique fact that makes them different

(me day in June, to keep mJ' promise,
1 went for an outing with three small
boys. Tin re was one a size larger that
offered to go and carry the lunch bas
kets, etc., making four boys We board
'll a train and it was not a long time
before we stopped at Wilmington, N. ('.
We took in some of tlte city sights, then
decided to visit Oakdale ccmet'iry. In
visiting ti city J most invariably take a
look at. the cemeteries. It is an index to
the cultivation and refinement of the
community Weil, we saw a beautiful
place naturally and then all that art
could add—so quiet and peaceful. The
gray squirrel and the partridge did not
seem one bit afraid. The boys were
mute wit it pleasure and admiration. They
are all mrfl-lovi. rs and each gray bunny
made them think of their burnt/ that
they opened the cage for "so lie might
frolic free.” AVo wandered about for a
while looking at many names we did not
know. The first trolley car we found
took us to AVriglitsville Beach. Such a
long, nice ride, and as it was the first
time for the boys they just went wild at
the sight of tho sea. It Is old and ever
new. 1 can’t sny which they liked best,
the waler or tho beautiful sand bench.
They bid farewell to the sights at sun
set. So clos 'd a. happy day for them
and one they will not forget. Oh, the
pleasure of making the little hearts glad.
IT. A. M II . Floyd, Va.—T have often
wondered why so few of the Virginia sis
ters write to the AVotnan’s Kingdom. I
am sure that The AA’eekly Constitution
comes to many homes in this state and I
rarely ever see a letter from A’irglnia In
the Kingdom. I’erhaps we supply the
wnste-bnskot. I enjoyed Mrs. Shaw's let
ter so much. I can imagine how beautiful
her begonias are. I planted geranium cut
tings the first week in June. Now they
are one foot high. I planted a horde# of
nasturtiums last spring and have had the
greatest quantity of blossoms all summer.
AVe all know how useful as well as orna
mental these blossoms are, especially for
the table and as dressing for salads, etc
I am very fond of flowers. Autumn is
almost here and we have had very few
real warm days. AA'e had comfortable
nights and mornings during most of the
month of August. This seems to have been
a “grape year." AA'e have such an abund
ance. Sometime during the year I saw a
recipe in the Kingdom for making wine,
A certain amount of water was used to
each gallon of fruit. I havo lost the recipe
and will return the favor if any of the
sisters can give ft to me.
I have made many pleasant acquaint
ances through the Kingdom. In all our
country there is no other paper that is the
source of as much helpfulness and satis
faction to the southern women as The

—I would Ilka to ask the ladies, through
th© columns of the Woman's Kingdom,
what to do for my chickens. They are
dying off very rapidly of a disease which
appears to be worn»- in the craw. They
will appear all right and eat fn the eve
ning. tuid next morning will not be able
to stand or eat anything, and in a few
hours some will b© dead, while others
will linger for a day or two. Tlie
disease all stems to be In tho neck and
craw, and upon examination we found
the craw to contain a large number of
worm<i about, an inch long and a little
thicker than a needle. Some fifteen or
twenty have died out of a of for
ty-five, and a great many more are sick.
I have tried Epsom salts, sulphur, tur
pentine, copperas and lard, but nothing
seems to do any good. A few partially
recovered from last week, l.m.L tills week
had another attack and die very rap
idly. ('an some one please tell me the
cause of it, and what it is, and a
remedy? I might add that I fed my
chickens Magic Poultry Food and nux
vomica all th© fore pant of the summer,
and never had any sick until now.
J would like to li'-ar from any of the
readers of The Constitution, who have
Angora goals, or sheep, for sale, as we
desire to purchase a number of both sheep
and goats.
Mrs. J. 1.. AValker. Fairview. Miss.—
Nearly six years have elapsed since 1 last
wrote to the Woman's Kingdom. Father
Time has not boon idle all these years.
He mpws down the young as well as the
old. AA'e mns; all bow to the natural
course of events sooner or later. But
what I have to say Is this: A long time
ago a-contractor built a Baptist church
somewhere in Texas, after which the
committee f illed to pay for the build
ing. The contractor waited n reasona
ble length of time, then locked tlie doors,
gave the keys to the sheriff and went
away. The contractor is still alive and
has only a f>-w months to live. Would
it not be the duty of that church to
hunt that man. pay him for his labor and
beg his forgiveness before he dies? AVoufil
love to know if that -church ever
prospered. An old d irky, 100 years old,
named Billie, wants to hear from the
Gabbetts in Kentucky, to whom hi' once
belonged.

Votability Makes a Difference.
(From Th • Baltimore Sun.)
Hawaii is a territory of the Tnite-l
States. The dominant element in th©
island is largely of New England descent.
That, howevi r, should not deter J’resident
Roosevelt from instructing the United
Sta.tes judges ami attorneys in Hawaii to
prosecute all those who are guilty of the
practices cited by our San Francisco eon
temporary. A great outcry has been made
because of a few isolated cases of peonage
in the south. AVhat is sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander. Tit ■
native Hawaii ms. and tlie Japanese ami
Italians who have been imported to Ha
waii under the contract labor system,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
As to Cotton.
Editor Constitution: The writer believes
that The Constitution could do the cot
ton producer substantial service just at
this tint© by calling the cotton world’s
attention to real conditions and facts.
The government’s figures, just Issued,
known as the September report, covering
August conditions, is already being ques
tioned as to accuracy and good faitli by
the press and the interested public, and
as It is certain that, the figures and the
serious decline in prices are not justified
by the real facts, the matter ought to be
vigorously attacked that justice may ob
tain.
As you will understand, owing to tlie
lateness of this grop, this report just
issued more properly belongs lo the July
condition for average comparison and I
make this statement that you may stress
tlie point if you see proper to give the
matter any consideration.
The report covered conditions up to
August 25, and the decline In condition
owing to unprecedented hoi weather and
also dry weather in this section since
that date has been serious. Owing to the
lateness of the crop and the vigorous
growth of the weed up to about the 20th
to the 25th of August. AVhen the hot. dry
weather set in it was in a condition to
be hurt most rapidly and permanently
and all the later cotton In this section
will be very, very poor. The next report
ought to be considered the real Septem
ber report when we use it for compari
sons, and the cotton world should be put
fully on notice-of same. COTTON.

Cost of Making Cotton Crop.
Editor Constitution: Tlie little spat be
tween Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
and our highly esteemed General But
ler, seems to excite a groat deal of in
terest as to whether or not
Messrs. Brown and ITayne were giamblers
when they put the price of cotton up so
much higher than It had been for so iong
a, time.
present price is on] fair when we
think of the hardships the cotton plant
eis of tho south have undergone, when
cotton was so tow, and what it takes to
make one pound ot cotton and the num
ber ul times that each stalk or noil ot
cotton lias to be handled from the time
jus . ulilvation Is pegun to the time it
1 is placed on t lie marKet.
Here is the amount of work it takes
r ■ make amt market a crop: Knocking
i ohl stalks down, barring off stalks twice.
I riimiing out old stalks, steattering terti
■ jiz- r ridging twice, running out middle,
i ; l ulling first plowing, chopping out. sec
ond ami tiilrd plowing twice, hoeing, sm
other plowing twice, taking out bunches
of c-rass fifth plowing, picking—one hun
dred boils to pound of Hnt. conveying
p, sIH-ct- sheet to cotton bouse, cotton
house to bin, from bln to feeder, from
co’wienscr t , press, from press to rail
road am! fimillv weighing.
D really looks like Messrs. Brown and
Hayne are more like Moses and Aaron
,1.0 southern cotton planters than
ramblers and thieves. But we are In the
Wilderness vet. Bet as not murmur
n ,r worship th" gol'len calf tint we ma.y
reach the promised land and that the
price of cotton may stay up until the
Colton gets off th© farmers' hands that
we might receive compensation for all
that we havo lost while cotton was low.

absolutely nothing, a trial bottle of “Drake’s
Palmetto Wine.” Drop us a postal an<l it
comes a-hunnning. You know that •ay
back in bible times people took wine “for the

different. It comes gushing from the palm
fruit of our own nunny South. It is n superb
appetizer, tonic and nerve-brac< r. It cleans
and purifies the blood and thus feeds brain
and brawn, it builds up athletes ami nour

“Drake’s Palmetto Wine” is also a natural
medicine. It is n wonderful specific for con
stipation, flatulency and all dyspeptic troub
les. It positively heals catarrh of nose,
throat, stomach or bowels. 11 regulates per
fectly the liver, kidneys, and bladder. For
women it is a true God-send. A tablespoon
dos© daily cures all those troubles. The wine
