THANKSGIVING.
Once again the chill November
Brings us cloudy days and gray,
Put, with pleasure, we remember
It also brings Thanksgiving day.
Day of national thanksgiving.
For many mercies set apart,.
For counting ocr the joys of living—
Blessings on each home and heart.
After time of faithful sowing.
After labor comes the hire:
Families, friends, their good will show
ing,
Gather 'round the cheerful fire
Many treasures we are getting
From the heaven-wat red sod.
And from nature, how befitting.
That we look tn Nature's God.
’That we children, richly living,
Dally sharers in some good.
Thank our Father for Hi- giving—
This is doing as we should.
80. when ve met in well-earned pleas
ure.
To feast on this glad holiday.
Our thanks w» 11 uTcr without meas
ure—
We'll not forget • praise and pray.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Our rational holiday and one in which
we are called upon to give especial
thanks for ike blessings of the year has
again rolled around. booking around
upon the fields and woods, it seems as if
we should be more than usually thankful.
Each year brings its blessings ami they
arc. more than can be numbered. 1 livre
may have been nmuy sorrows, many
hard places, but there has been much
left to be thankful for. and for one day,
at least, let us put behind us the shad
ows, and see the rift in the clouds, ami
be thankful. Throw open the windows
of our souls and let the sunshine in, ami
make tiiose around us happy.
As we gather around our table on
Thanksgiving day, whether the fare be
plentiful or scarce, lift up grateful
hearts that we have any. and never for
get to share with others.
Our country friends have cause to be
very thankful they can have the best
of poultry—think of turkey 20 cents a
pound, only the rich in the city can
have turkey—yet we can get chickens;
true, they are so poor they are right
blue, yet we are thankful we can get
them at all; but what we have to eat
is tli leas', of the blessings for which
we are to be thankful for. We live, and
move, and have our being; we have
friends who pray for us and feel for us
in our sorrows, and above all we have
.1 loving Father wdi» watches over us
1 ami gives us just what is best for us.
and withholds what He knows will harm
1 We wish each and all our readers a
happy Thanksgiving day, and as we meet
around the family board, be it grand or
humble, let our hearts Join fervently In
tills:
Grace for Thanksgiving.
For all Thy care and loving kindness,
Lord,
Accept our thanks who gather 'round
this board.
We see Thy goodness in each perfect
thing;
The sky, the sea. the bird on happy
wing.
And every Blade that makes the velvet
sward.
With hearts and lips In worshipful ac
cord
Do w» recount the blessings on us
poured.
And lift our voices hyp-ins of praise to
sing.
For all Thy car»
Help us to help the needy and ignored;
Teach us mere riches no true peace af
ford,
And grant to each that he may often
Tiring
Some consciousness to Thee of laboring
To prove O Guardian! a worthy ward.
For all Thy care.

HEALTH FOR GIRLS

Many people think that patent moilicinos aro worthless but if all women who are suffering and sick as I ¥< ql
waa could have tny experience with Wine of Cardui they would change their mind. _ paM# fift/W l
I really had not known a well day since I was fifteen, as I suffered at the menstrual period, sometimes witn W-A (.\Aa I -W
ell profuse and Bometimes with scanty menstruation very irregular and very painful. , .
s :'3 I had such pains in my back that I could not lie down and could not find a comfortable sitting position M k'tV
and that is the wav a week out of a mouth had to be endured for years. ~ . 72: / jOr
5® Os course I hail tried different remedies for my trouble and sometimes I would feel much better ana inn.K '■
I was eured, but in a short time the trouble would come back and /) w® 1
was only able to get permanent relief through the use of Wine of (A- • / I
Cardui‘which cured me in three months. I have been in VyA /
M-ts K health for a year, and have therefore every reason to be- n v //
sieve that I will remain so. l/V "
Wine of Cardui is a medicine that can be taken in the privacy of the home with the same ben
efit as if it were prescribed by the best physician in the world. This simple treatment never fails to
properly institute menstruation and allows the patient to quietly assume the dignity of womanhood zy
without any shock whatever. Miss Dockendorf could have avoided all her suffering if she had taken f 1
Wine of Cardui at first and every mother should supply her daughter with this great medicine before |
Frl the coming of womanhood. The good effects of the medicine will be felt throughout her life.
fc.a Wine of Cardui is a medicine which cures both young and old women. It is a positive relief for !f'&
irregular and painful menstruation at any stage. It cures bearing down pains and aU the ailments / JI?

I tiro dear old Const nation—years tilled
.with pleasure, tr..,;;t'l-. fortune and mis
! fortune. I lived 1 . Hernando county,
' Florida, and owne ; an orange grove,
' but the great f: z of 1894 made It a
I thing of the past, and we, with many
i others, having our all invested in t! 1
i grove, have been j r folk ever since,
but I have never thought it right to
! murmur or complain because It was God’s
work and Ho dotth all things well. 1
have made it a rule 'ook on the bright
' side and I always manage to find a sil
ver lining to every cloud. Aunt Susie,
j your "Heart to Heart talks” are a great
' help to me and I often wish J could
live where all th# ladies had your Ideas,
but that would make this old world too
i perfect, so It's best “s H is. I g«ess.
We era soon to m ve to a new place,
I and I want to ask the sisters to please
send me a few flower seed, some saed of
a pretty vine, for you know the. vine will
I cling to the cottage of the poor as well
as the mansion of the rich. 1 love flow

Marigold, Fowltown, Ga.—l come toda.y
to Inquire for our Texas sisters. Have
they moved to other places and are bus
ily engaged In making beautiful the
homes which they now occupy or have
woof the Kingdom page drifted from
their minds and at last have been for
gotten? We appreciated their letters, and
for our pleasure 1 hope the "wanderers
will return. The vea-r ot 1903 is almost
a thing of the past Jus-t a few more
weeks and the cold January days will
whisper to us that a new year has come.
I trust that al! of us can look back into
the varied scenes of 1903 and fee! that
we have few regrets as the sun of the
old year sinks to rise upon the new. Let's
cling to the jays and the pleasures of
1903 as a fond recollection of days th it
are gone rind striv- io bring add' d joys
Into the lives of others during 1904. This
will mean happiness- to us. If the trials
of life loom up in the background, we
may all with one accord strike them out
of memory's store house. As we strive to
Improve each moment as the days go by,
suppose we make a resolution that, wc
will stand by Kingdom's page and do
our best to have not one column of let
ters. as is sometimes the case, but do our
fcest to have a whole page, and that the
most interesting page in the much-be
loved Constitution. Now. as the holidays
draw nigh, phase remember the "shut
ins.” A small Christmas gift will bring
’ gteat joy to them, it is natural that we
should love to be remembered. <jne more

The discussion took place In the Al
legheny Carnegie music ball, whi h at
every meeting was crowded to its tit
'most capacity; at the Inst thr e meetings
. hundri d.i were turned away for lack of
even standing room.
The subjects uml-r discussion, briefly
stated, were as follows: I. "The Sec
ond Coming of Christ;" 2. "The Mil-
lennium;” 3. "I’ostmo; :em Probation;”
4 "State of the Dead Between Death
ami the 10 sui'reetion;" 5. "Eternal
States of the Saved and the Lost;" 6.
"The. Doctrine of Salvation.” On each
i of the above subjects each speaker had
■ fifty minutes, with ten minutes for re
ply. A great Pittsburg da furnished,
.the public with a stenograpliic verbatim
I report of each debate: and at the < nd of
! the series there had been such a deluge
o’’ requests for extra copies of the. pa
pers in which the reports were published
that the Pittsburg daily above mentioned
was prevailed on to print a special edi
tion ot' 100.000 copies, this edition con
taining the entire series of d’bnt’s, as
reported in the six previous issues of the
paper.
I wish I could afford to n#nl *o every
Interested reader of the Woman, s King
dom a copy of these reports, but knowing
that I should be likely to receive so
many requests that I would not be finan
cially able to comply with them, I have
decided to make this proposition: The.
cost of the paper to ma will be I cent
and the postage I cent. To nil, therefore,
who will inclose two l-cent stamps I will

MOTHER BELIEVED IN HIM.
' Timeworn, weather-beaten, with dim,
bleared eyes,
I His face like the map of the Country of
Sin;
Knowing no hope and winning no prize, i
Callous without and hardened within—
Room fur him still on the great highway! .
Comrade of shame and companion of .
woe;
Look where he staggers and softly say: :
"Mother believed In him long ago."
A wee little babe, on her bosom he lay
And gently she chanted an old, sweet j
song;
"Hushaby, lullaby, ever, alway,
His white angels guard three from error I
and wrong.”
And Ills lips were as pure as a thought of
God.
And his eyes were bright, that are heavy
and dim,
I As the sleep-angels bore him, o'er fields
untrod.
There where the twilight was singing its
hymn.
Tlmeovorn, weather-beaten—and yet ehe
dreamed,
With love In her eyes, as a mother must:
And ahe saw where the sunlight over him
streamed,
And the prayer in her heart was the
prayer of trust,
A mother believed in him, long ago—
This is his passport to heights of peace.
Where we walk no more with error and
woe.
And the pain and the travail forever
cease.
Only a wreck, 'mid the wrecks of men.
Crushed in the battle; lost, forlorn.
Staggering on, through mire and fen,
Yet to hope’s heritage he was born.
Make room for him, then, on the great
highway!
Whither 'twill lead him we may not
Out of the maze of doubt and dismay.
Since a mother believ d in him. long ago.

THE PASSING THRONG.
As the railroad men smoked and talked,
there passed by a big-listed fellow, with
red cheeks and a face that would have
attra -ted attention. A low, sweet feat
ured little woman w. s hanging on the big
fellow’s arm. Tho railroad men tipped
their hats.
"That's the bravest little woman in
Atlanta,” said one of them.
"Correct you are," another replied.
A Consiituti'-'U man butted in and want-
1 ed to know why.
"\V!.y everybody doesn’t know,” replied
; one of tii.' railroad boys, an engineer.
■ "But that engineer a. few years ago was
in business up the count)') here some-
. where, failed, and he and his wile found
I themselves without a dollar. Well, he
■ -. went tu hard drink, ami got down about
- as low us they t.p.*.-t- Hut ids iitlio
■ wile stood lirm ah iiu- tim-. Finally
> I she persuaded him to go to railroading.
I i lie got a job breaking, and quit drink-
i ing Soon ;ie was firing an engine, and
' I to the wonder of railroad men all along
I tic; line, he passed examina ion some
■ | months ago, ami got charge of I'.n en-
- gin-*, something pretty hard to do now-
I a-days. I found out the secret of it.
j That little wife of liis bought some en
' ’ ginceting books, and studrd engineering
i with him. She enciiunig him m the
work- in foot led him. Right t-.day -he
• can run a.n engine as rood as her hus
band. She per.-nail'd him to study nard
a.: nights, and the two together learn* d
the I'-;- -ne-s. 1 saw her on ids • imine
' [ln: oilier day with the throttle in 1" r
i hand knows just as much about it as the
i oldest of us. They say the bns: -s were
astonished at the mark he made in the
i examination. It was nearly 100 per
1 . cent. There's an Instance of «"'.iat a
: ! brave, determined, woman can do for
• self and her hasbind. Women like that
I I lU-serve monuments.”
! "There are fortunes lying unclaimed i"
the natural resources of Georgia an<
northern capitalists, desirous of investing,
make inquiries in regard to these unde
j veloped riches, southern people them
selves are often the first to throw cold
; water on the prospective investor's cn
, thusiasm and the first to doubt the basi
n'. -s wisdom of what he is about to
do.”
This remark was made last night by
Hugh C. Rlsdon of Washington, D. C.,
industrial agent for several southern rail-
( way systems.
Mr. Rlsdon has been in the city for
several days and his words were inspired
! by a visit to some Wilkes count)’ copper
mines, in company wiHt W. 1* Mitchell,
a New York st” k broker, who is one iff
Hie largest owners In these properties.
“These specimens,” continu’d Mr. Ris
don, "are simply magnificent, and in
every way as rich ns those to be
found tn the west or in the Lake Supe
rior region. The mines from which they
come have been in operation for some
years and yet we actually found promi
nent business men in Washington who
did not know what was going on just 12
miles from their city.
"I do not know why it is that souther’,
people do not take what seems l'i me
would be a natural Interest in these re
sources that Ho all around them unde- :
veloped. There Is no reason on eartn i
why Georgia should not be a great min
ing state as well as a cotton growing I
state. Hut the people who live here offer
little or no encouragement to capital
that seeks an investment in their vicin
ity, or if the encouragement Is given nt
all it usually takes some such form as
this, after the development has been suc
cessfully brought into operation:
” ‘I told you so,' they will say, 'and we I
are glad to see you gentlemen aiding in i
building up our section.’
Rut by that t ne northern captal has
acquired the entire field and aside from
, In<‘ little money spent for wages and
| supplies the great profits go north and
; Into northern pockets, when they might
• just as well, or a i??rt of them at least,
' have remained in the south.
*'Mhy, what Is Birmingham today but
i a great industry financed by northern
; capital? The same is true of Sheffield
: and Ensley. But the resources were
there all along and betore they were de
veloped tlie natives of the vicinity did
‘ not believe that any money was to be
! made by their development.
■ "This fact—the lack of interest and lack
■ of faith on the part of southerners—is one
I of the greatest difficulties the industrial
departments of southern railroads have

to deal with. I have hud to contend with
it many times. . . . , ,
’ ’A number of years ago the industrial
agent of the Florida East Loast railroad
told me lie had discovered a gieat qu<. >
titv of Madeira wood in the swamps m- »r
his line and asked me to help him in the
development of it. f sat down and writ®
lu about eighteen towns along the east
coast and Hom almost every one my <Ui
: wer was that the wood uid nut exist. 1
received two replies saying that its ex
istence in 'ne swamps hud been rumored
tor years. . ~
"I sent these answers to my brother
agent in Florida and he wrote l>m k that
me wood was there, for lie had seen it.
.uid tiiat if 1 Would find some imitm-rn
lumbermen who would look at it lie wo >M
be g.ad to pay lus expenses to Mori..a
and back. I looked up a p.osperous.l.’al
limore lumber ueumi and told him of my
friend's offer and he made tiie trip.
"'A'.l, they ch. i 'i cred miiln-ms of feet
of mad’eira wood in the swamps down
there and cut a number of logs, great
fellows 20 or 30 feel long. These l"g«
were brought to Jacksonville and else
where in Florida anil shown to local lum
■ bermen bat they scoffed at tiie idea -‘f
there b'-lng enough ot this wood in the
state to pay anything for the work|ny.
i 'i hen the logs were taken to Mobile and
ether southern towns and lumbermen
there simply -slid they didn't believe the
wood came from Florida .at all, and de
! dared it must have been shipped from
! South Arn’-ricn or elsewhere.
| "So the Baltimore man went north and
ii-.te. ■.-sled New York ami l-oston men in
the proposition. They formed a pool and
secured options on every foot, of the wood
in Hie state. Now they are selling the
logs at tidewater for S3O per 1,000 feet,
and absolutely all that the state of Flor
ida realized from litis great transaction
Is tiie 30 cents per 1.000 paid for the tim
ber as it stood in the swamps.
"I could tell you a number of similar
insi.ini- s that have come under my own
observation, fur these things are facts.
Even if the southern people haven't mon
y enough to dec clop these resources
all by themselves, they could believe hi
them, encourage northern capital and put
tn t hem?' Ives what money they have.
Then the south would not only be devtl
oped but some of the profits would stay
in the south instead of all going north
as they do in so many cases now.”
How a Woman Paid Her Debts.
I am out of debt, thanks to the Dish
washer business. In the past three muntlis
I have made $600.00 selling Dish-wash
ers. I never saw anything sell so easily.
Every family needs a Dish-washer and
will buy one when shown how beautifully
I It will w '.sli ami dry the family dishes.
Each Dish-washer sold brings me many
orders. The dishes are washed without
wetting tiie hands. That is why ladies
want tl-.e I’ish-wa.-her. I give my expe
rience for tiie beU'-ilt of any one w.:o
may wish to make money easily. I buy
my Dish-wash’is from the Mound City
