to her before she left Philadelphia
that she w'ould have to get the mileage
exchanged for a ticket at Washington.
I told her, however, that since the
trnin arrived in Washington late at
night, and sine© the Pullman she
wns in was the same in which she
would go right through to Atlanta, she
might ask the conductor to exchange
the mileage for her, or if the conductor
was too busy, might give the porter
a half-dollar or a dollar for perform
ing the service. She had her Pullman
reservation straight through from
Philadelphia to Atlanta.
“Well, iu the evening, as the train
was rolling along toward Washington,
my wife called the conductor and ex
plained that she wanted to retire early,
and that It would be extremely difficult
even If she sat up to leave her little
babies alone and .go out Into a strange
station to look for the ticket window
af 10:40 p. m.. and asked him, as a
si>ecial favor, to exchange the mileage
for her. The conductor \vas courteou?*
and regretful, but he said there w'as an
ironclad rule against his doing It. and
he couldn’t. Then she called the porter.
He was sorry, but there was a rule pro
hibiting him from doing it.
“So my wife had to get out all alone,
leaving her bi>.bies alone in the train,
to look lor the ticket window-. She
only fotind It, after many inquiries,
through the kind assitance of a strang
er (not a railroad man) to whom she
appealed in desperation after she had
consmmed 10 or 20 minutes grace.
“Of course, she had to wait In line
at the window, and w’hen she pot back
to the tracks her Pullman had disap
peared! It had been shunted arounl
onto another track. The thought of her
’.‘abies alone made her almost frantic,
and she demanded of the first man she
saw V ith a uniiorm that he find that
car for her—and she took no refusal
that time.
“When she got aboard the car she
found she had lacked only a fraction
over a minute of losing it.”

BIC DOUBLE BILL
lUESDAY Nlgm
Death Mrs. Vail \
Good Woman Gone\
The big double bill for next Tuesday
night at Young Hackensmidt’s School
is undoubtedly the best show' ever of
fered to the sporting public of this
city. The six-round sparring match
between the little whirlwind, Billy
Ryan, and Earl Moser, who can serve
with the gloves, is worth more than
the usual admission, but the wrestling
match, as an added feature between
tw^o such prominent, wrestlers as
Young Hack and Jack Spaulding, the
welterweight champion, is giving the
public a show that could not be staged
for the average attendance at the
matches, but the Charlotte favorite
stated this morning that he was will
ing to wrestle his end of the perform
ance for nothing so long as the attend
ance v.*ould permit him to give the re
quired guarantees that it cost to get
first-class men.
Hack's matches, so far this season,
has by no means been a paying propo
sition, although at times the houses
have been large, it cost a great deal
more than the average attendance to
stage the first-class shows that he put
on here.
This only inducement so far this
season for the Charlotte boy to con
tinue on the mat here is that he has
made good in other cities, and it does
seem with a man living here and hold
ing the title of middlew'eight champ
ion and making good on the mat, rep
resenting Charlotte in th^ clean si)ort,
that the audience has failed to sup
port his w'ork as,other cities would. At
no time has any challenge ever been
turned down by the local wrestler and
the fact that the largo.st w'restling
centers in America have men waiting
here gees to bear out the statement
that Hack is a wrestler of note or so
many recognized first-class w^restlers
would not be writing here for dates,
unless his work has made prominent
this city in the sporting circles of
larger towns.
If there is a man in the world that
can best the Charlotte wrestler some
information from thosewiio can find
one w'ould be greatly appreciated. A
^e bet is alw'ays awaiting for those
who feel that the local wrestler’s mas
ter can be secured. No w^restler in
the middleweight class is barred. A
great deal of Hack’s money Is always
in sight for any wiio are game to face
him. So far there have been few in
his w’^eight equal his science and speed
and we w'ould like to see him matched
against his eqi’.al.

Man. W. Va.—Mrs. Grace Fortner, of
this city, w'rites: “I was so weak last
summer, I could hardly stand on my
feet, and lost flesh every day. I w'as
5:0 nervous I could not bear to have
anyone near me. The first dose of
Cardui helped me. It is the most w'on-
derful medicine in the w'orld for weak
w^omen. Until I began taking Cardui,
the woman’s tonic, I had fanting
spells, every month. Now. I am en
tirely cured of them. I have told my
friends about Cardui, and they have !
used it, with great results. I cannot
say enough for Cadui, for I know it ^
has saved my life.” j
If a friend told you of the remarka- |
ble results she had obtained through j
the use of Cardui, the woman’s tonic,
I
wouldn’t you think it w'orth a trial for:
your own womanly troubles? Thous- j
ands of ladies have written in praise !
of this reliable, time-tested remedy, for i
I
women. During the past fifty j’ears, j
more than a million women have ben
efited by using Cardui.
Since Cardui has helped so many
others, it should surely help you. Try
it.
