« could invent
\s/ a story of truer
a ' manly devotion
rjb . than the “humble
' romance ” revealed
U —by the following
letter from Mr
9 Harry Chant, of 211 Haskell Avenue,
Dallas, Texa<.
“ About fourteen or fifteen months ago
I was working with a gang of men and happened
to say to onfc of them. ‘ I hope it will not fain as
*1 have a big washing to do for the children.*
The man said, ’ What is the matter with your
wife ? ’ ”
“ For years my wife had been suffering from
what the doctors called prolapsus of uterus. She
was nervous, had cold hands and eet, palpita
tion. headache, backache, constipation, a disa
greeable drain, with bearing down pains; no ap
rrtite. She got so weak she could not get around
am only a laborer so was always in debt with
the doctors, and all for no good, as none did her
atoy go<xl. We began to think that she was never
going to get well.”
“ I told this man what the doctors said was the
matter with her.” and he said ” ‘ did you ever hear
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription ?’ ” “ I told
him no, but I had tried so many patent medicines
that I was tired of them all. and besides I did not
have enough money to pay the doctor and the
drug store, h* said if I would get two or
three bottles and try them, and if it did not do
my wife any good that he would pay for the med
icine. I went to the drug store (Mr. Clawber’s
on Elm Street), and bought a liottle. The first*
and second did not seem to have much effect but
the third seemed to work like a charm. She has
taken in all about thirteen bottles and she is to
day as stout and healthy as any woman in the
United States. This is not the only case When
ever I hear tell of any woman who is sick in the
neighborhood I just send the book and paper that
is wrapped around every bottle and that does the
business. I am no longer lathered about doing
my own washi g and cooking, for my wife can
do it all in one day and never seems tired or out
of spirits now.”

CANDLER FOR GOVERNOR
Hon. Alien D.Candler.Georgia’’
present Secretary of slate, has put
himself in the position of consult
ing his friends as to whether he
shall be a candidate for Governor.
Col Candler is one of the beet
men in the state. He is utterly
incorruptible, honest, cvnsoieß
cious. In point of ability he is a
giant, compared to any governor
we have had for many years. If
we live in North Georgia, we
should “whoop it up” for the Ban
tam of the “Pigeon Roost ”
And if South Georgia isn’t in it
—well, we will just say there is no
man in North Georgia who has
been spoken of, who could com
mand our support in opposition
to him —Mt Vernon Monitor.

“The Georgia, legislature having
disposed of fo»tball by prohibi
tion, has now a proposition before
it to permit bull fighting. It is
urged in behalf of the legalization
of tauromachy that it would con
siderably advance the value of
cattle.” If that is the object why
not make cattle eligible to mem
bership in the legislature? It would
add some variety to and certainly
could not hssen the efficiency of
the menagerie.—Louisville Cour
ier-Jcurnal.

Jere Simpson, it is said, owing

last year for the Populist vote next

INDIA FRONTIER POLICY.
There can be little doubt of the
true meaning of the order for the
suspension until next spring of
the British military operations
against the frontier tribes of In
dia.
In plain English the order
means that the attempt to subju
gate the Pat han tribes is to be
abandoned. The forward policy
h’d been condemned by some of
the best Anglo-Indian officers be
fore its fatuity was revealed by
the logic of events.
The operations under Sir Wil
liam Lockhart have shown the
truth of the assertions made by
the opponents of the scheme to
establish a “scientific frontier”
for India—namely, that a zone
inhabited by independent tribes
men was the best possible defense
of the Empire against invasion
from the Northwest, and that the
hillmen should he made the
friends and allies of Great Britain
rather than treated as foes.
After the events of the recent
past, however, their conciliation
promises to he a difficult task.

but he had no intention of framing

himself to solitude *o iontemplate
it as a reminder of feminine
fickleness. In fact Jacob did not

the case but that the dulciuea was
