The Savannah Press says that
when the army transport gets
up the river to pronounce it as if
it were spelt Man-i-to-BAR,
with the accent on the bar.
The “accent on the bar’’ is
good—for Savannah —and nat

port’s captain to put his accent
on the bar when he arrives—and
his vessel on the bar before he
gets back to sea.
Hall Caine says in a Boston

views on the subject nor can I

apologize.

If the war department is de
termined to receive the negro
into the regular army ad infini
tum, says the Americus Times
Recorder, it should first see that
there are sufficient army posts
in the north to accommodate
him, when on garrison duty. In
the sense of being a real friend
of the negro, the south is far
ahead of any other section , be
cause here he exists in such
numbers that we know his mer
its and demerits lie is all right
in his place, but when vested
with the least semblance of au
thority, he becomes an Mito'er
able nuisance to his superiors,
which is invariably i rovocative
of riot and bloodshed. This, of
course, is most likely to happen
where the negro population is
large. Gov. Jones, of Arkansas,
is right in protesting against a
negro regiment being sent to do
garrison duty at Little Rock.
“Spain trusted me,” says
Miss lessie SchUy. Os course

had appealed to the nations for

hearrf a kindly voice and, look

Miss Jessie, she didn’t do a
thing but lay her throbbing
head on Miss Jessie’s gentle
bosom aild sob. “Miss Schley,’’

“ How Do I Look ? ”
How frequently
a woman asks this question! How much
thought and study she devotes to it! It ir
natural. A woman hates to think that sh_
is growing day by day less charming and
attractive and youthful to her husband’s
eyes than in the days of courtship.
A woman may alwavs retain her charms
and the vivacity and freshni ss of youth if
she will take the proper care of her health.
A tremendous percentage of ill health in
women is due to weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Preset iption is an unfail
ing remedy for all disorders of this nature.
It allays inflammation, hi Us ulceration,
stops debilitating drains and soothes and
tones the nerves. It preserves in a woman
all the charm of healthy youth. Thou
sands of women have testified to its mar
velous merits.
“ Favorite Prescription ” is sold by all re
spectable dealers in medicines. Deal only
where you are honestly treated. Any store
keeper who tries to give you a substitute
for what you demand is not treating you
honestly and you should take your trade
elsewhere.
“ For nine years I have suffered with falling
ofinte rna! organs,” writes Mrs Marv Williams,
of Raleigh, Wake Co., NC. (Boa 196). ' I wa,
troubled with bearing down pains. I had Indi,
gestion and female weakness and nervousness.
I could not sleep at night I wns constipated
and had urinal trouble. The doctor here said
that no medicine would reach my disease. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, Golden Medi
cal Discovery ' and ‘ Pleasant ‘ Pellets ' have
cured me."

The Petit Journal Pour Hire, I
of Paris, has made such outra-.
geous fun of the trip of the Ger-;

quest of the German Ambassa
dor, the issue containing a long
and offensive article has, it i>
eaid, been suppressed. Part of
the article, which is illustrated,
gives what purports to be ex
tracts from the Kaiser’s diary,
v hich show him to be displeas
e 1 that he could not walk on the
Sea of Galilee, but determined
to try sgaia at Berlin, when the
frost sets in.
The Spanish naval appropria
tion for next year w ill doubtless
