) F { f ‘ ie | ———i * A SCHOOL GIRL’S BATTLE. From The Mail, Milford, Ind. Miss Emma Rybolt, a prepossessing school a of Milford, Ind., ivor more than usual telligence, and is ambitious to rise in the uterary world. “In the fall of 1896,” said Mrs. Rybolt, “Emma was taken ill. She wes a close student and her work began to tell on her. She grew weak, pale and nervous, and com- lained of pains in her back, chest and imbs, A few weeks passed and she grew worse. The doctor said she was a victim of nervous prostration, and should have been taken from school weeks earlier. She gradually grew worse, her nerves were so tense that the least noise irritated her, and the had a fever and a continual twitching in her muscles. The symptoms were much like St. Vitus’ dance. “A year passed and, under a changeof hysicians, emma be- came some- what better, but was soon as bad asever. One day I read of acase similar to hers which was cured by Her Battle. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, andI decided to try them. “Emma had no faith in proprietary medicines but tried the pills, and after taking a dozen doses, she began to improve. It was about the first of April when she began, and by the middle of May, after taking about eight boxes, she was entirely cured. While ill, she lost twenty-eight pounds, but now weighs more than ever before. Her nerves are strong and she is in per- fect health. We are all confident that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People cured her, and I cheerfully recommend them in all similar cases. “Mrs. E.

What suffering frequently results from a mother’s ignorance; or more frequently from a mother’s neglect to properly instruct her daughter! Tradition says ‘‘woman must suffer,” and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. ‘The following letterfrom Miss MARIE F. Jounson, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: “My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per- haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pillsas you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. I have gained flesh and have a good color. I am completely cured of irregularity.” DRO PSY NEW DISCOVERY ;etves quick relief and cures worst cases. send for book of testimonials and 10 days? treatment Free. Dr. ll. l.

IDDEN away in the vault of a safe deposit company is a memento of that struggle of thirty odd years ago 2 which no wearer of = 2 the blue or gray = could look upon without peculiar pe ae Lae ay emotions. Just now, =— when the remnant of the host that donned the blue nearly four decades back is preparing to pay its yearly tribute to its dead through- out the length and breadth of the land, this memento—a flag so worn and ragged—is of strange interest. Its history is the history of the war. This flag flew high in the air over the battlements of Fort Sumter on that eventful morning of April 12, 1861, when the newly organized Confederate forces began the bombardment which started the greatest conflict of modern times. There were two garrison flags in the fort; one was the fine weather flag and the other the stormy weather flag. Like the chaos in men’s hearts the elements threatened on that historic day, so the storm flag was run up and im short time became the target of the Confederate shot. Before that it was not a fine flag, be- Eat FLAG OF FORT SUMTER. {ng made of coarse meshed, strong bunting, tough enough to withstand the lashing of the winds of the coast. Ten feet one way and fifteen the other it stood out like a board and more than one wild shot, aimed by the inexpe- rienced gunners on shore, went so high over the fort that big gaps were torn in the flutering emblem, Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, widow of Brevet Major General Anderson. com- mander of Fort Sumter, now owns the flag, and she treasures it so carefully that it is rarely removed from the strong box in the safe deposit vaults. The ravages of time have had little effect upon its color. The red, white and blve are almu-t as bright today as they were thirty-six years ago, and were it not for the rips and tears it would make a gallant appearance to- day flying in the bright sunlight. seven times during the first day of the bombardment the flagstaff was struck, but by a strange series of ac- cidents the fag continued to fly at the peak. After one of these accidents Ma- jor Anderson exclaimed: “God Al- mighty nailed that flag to the staff and I could not lower it if I tried.” This particular accident happened in this way. Outside the bar marking the entrance to the harbor were several Federal vessels. This fleet could not enter the harbor without being sunk by the cannon of the land batteries, and all it could do was to anchor out of range and observe the bombardment. It is needless to say with what anx- iety the men on these ships watched the flag flying over Sumter. They knew that sooner or later it must come down, but they also knew Anderson, and felt that he would hang on to the last gasp. Every little while Major Anderson gave orders to dip the flag to the fleet to show that everything was all right. During one of these salutes, and when the flag was being hoisted back into place after the third dip, a shell burst near the staff, cutting the halliard. The flag started to come down with a run, but a piece of the cut rope got jammed in a section of the shivered staff and the flag was more secure than ever. It was this that caused Major Ander- son to utter the historic words above referred to. After the evacuation of Sumter Ma- jor Anderson journeyed to New York, where he made the usual garrison in- all ant hee F nad woh Cite thas boace Laroreree oe hick oh hime tome Pp Cth LLL A Lane niacin Chas anth ow m0 gy BA fal i err 9nd ators Sseeec grad —? hi Sere aah &. an nt Ais nh me Be OO fantom Aire an F = vs sage Wat al ams pe satiee jar Oontkan ny anc?

The Secretary of War promptly ordered the return of the flags to the major, accompanying them with a letter in which he said that they could not be in better keep- ing than in the hands of the man who so gallantly defended them. Major Anderson had the flags placed im the vaults of the Metropolitan Bank in New York, and there they remained until it was evident that General Sher- man would wring Fort Sumter from the dying grasp of the Confederacy. The flag was again sent South, and on the day the Confederates surrendered the fort it was again hoisted to the peak of the flag pole by Major Anderson himself. This happened on April 14, 1865, ex- actly four years to the day from the evacuation. A salute of 100 guns was fired at the fort in honor of the flag, and the guns of the surrounding batter- ies and ships joined in the uproar. After that the old flag was returned to the bank vaults, not to be seen again until death called its owner. Then it was used as a pall at the soldier’s fun- eral at West Point, and with each suc- ceeding generation its unique historical Value will incrtase. American Horses tn Belgium. During the last few years American horses have been imported into Bel- gium in considerable numbers. Last year more than 5,000 horses were sold in Antwerp alone. These were resold Probably to other cities, but to what extent they left Antwerp is not known. It shows, however, the great possibili- ties of the trade in that country. But the danger is that the very success of our horse business there will work against it, for it is arousing the hos- tility of the horse-breeders of Belgium, and already several of them have brought powerful influences to bear to check the importation of American stock. These associations of horse breeders have determined to wage a vigorous warfare against the breeders of America, who are, they declare, tak- ing their best trade. In the publi- cation of one of these societies appears the following sentences, which may be taken as a fair example of how the Belgians look at it, and as indicating their future action: “The danger sig- nal was, until now, particularly direct- ed against fine horses (carriage and saddle horses), but we now see post horses, cart and draft horses, for which the demand was usually addressed to our Ardennes dealers. More than this, and a fact that should attract the at- tention of our horse breeders, each cargo of horses includes a certain num- ber of draft horses, which bring the highest prices, a detail particularly re- marked upon by those attending the regular sales, * * * Moved by this condition of-affairs, affecting the only prosperous bfAnch of agriculture, all the Belgian societies, having at heart the question of horse breeding, have united to combat the danger, and by the most authorized means have agreed to make their conclusions unanimously predominate.” It is the old question of those in possession of a market attempting to hold it to the exclusion of others, even if they have to do it by smothering competition. It must be confessed that the danger of having the market im- paired is not small, considering the determined front taken by these socie- ties. Previous to this time there has been little headway made in the Belgian market by importers from the New World. Some South Americans once tried to ship horses to Belgium, but they sent only the common horses of the South American pampas, and these proved a great disappointment to the buyers. But with the American ship- pers it is different. They have been importing breeding horses for a great many years, and have now been able to send back to Europe as good horses as are to be found there. These, as the Belgians say, bring top prices. The trade is getting on so firm a footing that it certainly looks as if the Bel- gian horses would be forced into the background, notwithstanding that they have been produced in conditions made by a lower scale of general prices. The success of the breeders of this country in getting such a foothold in Belgium, when the South Americans could not, indicates the direction our breeding should take, namely, in the line of breeding only first-class ani- mals, and from parents that are known to possess desirable qualities. Disappointments with Poultry. Disappointments come frequently to the keeper of poultry, but most often to the man that expects to get a great deal of money out of the poultry busi- ness with little work. He buys a lot of hens, builds a big house, fences off a big lot, makes numerous nests and puts the fowls and the establishment together. He expects they will take care of themselves, and they do it, af- ter a fashion. The lice multiply and the eggs diminish. The fence breaks down and the prowling animals get in. He feeds without regard to their health, and the birds get indigestion. Disaster after disaster comes upon him. The little chicks fall a prey to lice, cats and rats. Now and then a hawk swoops down and carries away a fat pullet. The gapes get into the throats of the chicks, and they begin to fall over and die. The old birds succumb to indigestion and the flock rapidly decreases. All of this comes as a result of too little work put on the flock. American Beef in Scotland.—It has been frequently asserted that the best American beef was in no wise behind the beef made in Scotland. If any- thing were needed to prove this it would seem to be the fact that Ameri- ean meats are constantly sold in Scot- land for Scottish grown meats, and the buyers do not seem able to detect the difference. A great deal of this kind of meat’ selling has been going on in Glasgow and Edinburgh for many years. So notorious is this fact be- eoming that the Scottish Chamber of Agriculture has taken up the matter and has determined to see what can be done to check the sale of American meats under the guise of Scottish. The butchers charge the same price for it that they do for that produced on Scottish meadows, but make on it three cents more per pound. Their dilemma proves that we can produce as good meat as can be produced any- where. . Keep Only Good Cows—Make it a rule in your herd that no cow can stay in it unless she can make 4,000 pounds of milk a year and milk good enough to make over 200 pounds of butter. Find this out with a pair of scales costing 25 cents and a Babcock machine costing $5. These two little machines will save you more money than a miserly disposition. They will put you on an intelligent business basis and make a first-class merchant dairyman of you. Get one of the boys to start this meth- od of testing the cows and’see how in- terested he will become in it. This is the only way to make a thorough- bred dairyman of him and teach him how to make money with cows.—Ex. Just a Trifle. Reilway Clerk—Another accident on the road to-day. sir. Manager—Indeed!

The policy, of this country regarding foreign complications seems likely to remain conservative. The Monroe doc- rine will be sustained, but patience and prudence in official quarters will restrain public opinion.
