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 .mm. killed the soldiers, spiked the 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 v rk. gheer weight of personality elmn c.<n account for him."

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.

Mrs. Rosa Goff, Commerce, Tex. -Fur many years 1 have been a silent admirer of the dear old Atlanta constitution and always look forward to its coming with pleasure and turn to tlie Woman's page first.. Oh, how tlio sisters' letters have cheered- and helped me and gives so much useful nformation. Now I come ask ing a favor. Will some one who has tn© California beet seed please send me sonic; have lost seed and can't find any, so will come to the sisters and kindly ask help. Mrs. M. A. Judge, Hickory, Miss., R. F. D. No. 3 Since I wrote to "Our Kiiig il'ini” last I have received several letters from the sisters and I received a postal card from a lady In Camden, Ark., ask ing ma to reserve for her I gal. of my English shallots and 2 teacups of winter turnip seed. She asked me to write her a postal and let her know, but her name was almost completely rubbed out, so sis ter, you know why I have nut written 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 Ings than to write as some have done, ac cusing each other of trying to cheat. 1 sent Mrs. M. M. Hay, of Ocklocknee, Ga., 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 cent solution of carbolic acid, but an old negro woman told mo to us© lard and CHILLS AND FEVER MALARIAL P 0 IS OWING CAUSED BY BAD DRAINAGE. A Common Experience in Many Lo calities and a Remedy Which Everyone May Try. “Six years ago, I was very Hl with malaria,” says Mrs. M. D. Anderson, of Auburn. Fiacer county, California, "but I was enabled to drive all traces of It from my system by the use. of Dr. \\’ll llaths' Link Fills for I’ale Peopi ■>. The fever was caused by the insufficient sew erage system cr-ixtlUK !|! th e town at that time and it took such a hold on me that I was confined to my bed for about four months. For more than a year 1 suffered 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 nve boxes cured me entirely. I owe my recovery entirely to Dr. Williams’ Rink Fills fur Pale People and 1 am al ways glad Lu recommend this va.lua.bla remedy, "1 must also add that at the time I began .taking Dr. Williams' Fink Fills 1 sullered Horn an enlargement, or goitre. on the neck which choked me when lying on my lim k, and which, when I returned up. would almost smother me. After taking these pills for a. short while I found to my uglonlsliment that it had disappeared. Th it wa- live years age 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 from any other medicine, ami gives them power to cure where ordinary rnlxtui's of common drugs fail completely. 'l'liey have cured stubborn eases of rheumatism, loeonrolor ataxia, partial paralysis. S;.

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.

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?

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.

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, doubtless think they are entitled to pro tection. Tlie e-mdition of tlie slaves in Sulu is bad enough, perhaps, to make tho stoniest-hearted Am.-t i -an w. ■p.

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. Seeks Northern Soldier.

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.
