ThVe are thousands of sick women draejrlns;
eat a weary, miserable existence, who would be
well and happy did they but have my experi

writes Mrs. Annie Lenman, of 106 Jackson St.,
Atlanta, Gs. "Four years ago I was nearly
dead with inflammation and ulceration. I en
dured daily untold agony, and life was a burden
to me. I had uaed medicines internally and
externally until I had made up my mind that
there was no relief in sight for me. A friend of
mine endorsed your Favorite Prescription,' and
I determined then to give it a trial. It took
Satience and perseverance for I waa in a bad con
ition, and had to use youf medicine for nearly
four montha before I was cured, but what a
change it brought ; from despair to happineaa,
from misery to the delightful, exhilarating feel
ing that only health brings. I would not change
back for a thousand dollars. Your Prescrip
tion ' is s grand medicine. I wish every sick
woman would only try it and be convinced."

Little Polks
- - Why the - -Little
Pig Was Whipped
4)I1 you ever bear the story about
the little pig sJio ate his bjg slaters
dinner? know yon bave not, tor tbe
sfcry bus never been told.
Well, tbere was a little pig wbojoved
to tease bis sister, Just as many and
many a boy loves to tease bis sisters.
Kow.'tuls little pig had one sister
who was very particular about her
manners, which, you will admit, was
an excellent trait She wouldn't think
of sitting down to a meal without a
nice clean apron on. At tbe dinner
hour she would hurry to her room,
fasten on her apron and then go to the
trough In which her food was served.
"Why Is It that you only half Oil my
trough?" asked she of her mother.
"I always fill It," was the reply.
"But It Is always only half full." de
clared tbe little pig's sister.
And the little pig laughed, for he
knew 4-ery well why the trough was
only half full. Whenever be saw bis
sister start off to get ber apron be
HB KNEW VERT WKI.I, WHT THB TRO0OH
WAS HALF g'JLh. .
would slip slyly up to the trough and.
eat as much of ber food as be could
before she could get back.
One day the sister decided to watch
blm, and she actually caught him In
the very act of gulping down her meal
"I was only fooling," laughed the lit
tle pig.
"I shall tell ninminn. on you," replied
his sinter, "and she will paddle you
with a shingle."
"You would not be a 'telltale, would
you?" uski'd the IHtle pig, who did not
relish the Wen of a whipping.
"No. I don't believe I would," re
plied the siHter thoughtfully. "I shall
not tell on you."
"That's a good girl," laughed the lit
tle pig.
"But I shall paddle you myself,"
added the Bister. Then she caught tbe
little tense and gave him a good sis
terly thrashing, and he never touched
her meals again after that. Detroit

Grand Rapids, Mich., Deo. 27. The
death list resulting from the head-on
collision between two Pere Marquette
Railroad passenger trains near East
Paris last night stands at 22 tonight
with 29 persons injured, several of them
probably ft tally.
The following are the main facts of
the disaster :
Number dead, 22.
Number injured, 29.
Eastbound train was going up grade
at about 40 miles an hour. Westbound
was running 60 miles an hour down
grade. Nearly all the killed and in
jured were on the eastbound train, its
engine being demolished, smoker com
pletely telescoped and other cars
smashed.
One engineer and his fireman were
saved by beiog hurled clear of the
wreck when the top of their engine
turned somersault.
Wreck was caused by the red single
lamp at McOord's, where one train was
ordered to stop, being blown out in the
blizzard within two minutes of the
train's passing there.
The operator at MiCord's seeing the
train passed knew the crash must come
and ' at tnce ordered surgeons and

The imports of manufacturers' ma
terials for tbe ten months ending with
last October were fifteen per cent,
greater than for the previous year, and
more than eighty per cent, greater than
in 1896. Exports of manufactures
were also greater than any year except
1900.
During 1902, New York received
more than half of all the import
brought into America, five hundred

New York exported about one third
of the total six hundred and nineteen
millions out of one billion, five hundred

THRILLING STORT OF THE NBA.
A number of the pafsengers wlio
lore on the Atlantic Transport steamer
Menominee, bound for New York
when she was struck by a hurricane
December 7 and disabled so that she
drifted at the mercy of the storm for
five days, arrived last week on the
Cedric. Thej told a thrilling story of
ineir experience.
The Menominee left London Decern
ber 3. Four days later she ran into a
terrifio gale and a huge wave, which
the ship's officers said was 60 feet high,
struck the ship, throwing her on her
beam ends. It came with such force
as to crash in the heavy dead lights in
the cabin ports on the star-board side
and the state-rooms were flooded.
Most of the passengers ' were in bed
when the wave hit the ship.. Tbey
were thrown frpm their berths to the
floor with bedding, baggage and every
thing movable on top of them.
The utmd&t confusion prevailed for a
time among the passengers, according
to the story told, and tbe officers had
difficulty in quieting them.
When the ship righted itself it was
found that her rudder post had been
snapped off, leaving the steering gear
disabled and the ship helpless.
One sailor was caught in the back
wash of the wave and dashed against
the bulwarks; receiving injuries from
which he died an hour later.
Three other searrlan were seriously
injured by waves which broke over the
ship while they were trying to make re
pairs to the shattered steering gear and
it became necessary to lock the passen
gers in the cabin. Oil was used to still
the waves, but with little effect. For
five days the ship rolled in the trough
of the sea, the captain remaining on
the bridge. Finally at noon of the
fifth day a temporary steering gear was
rigg'ed and the ship limped back to Fal
mouth, where the passengers were sent
to Liverpool, And such 'of them as
chose were sent to New York on the
Cedric. .
Lawyers and Liars.
The mistake made in the court report
that Judge Spofford had called William
J. Bryan ajiar, when he really galled
him a lawyer, reminds me of a -classic
story, says a writer in the New York
Press.' A Scotch preacher and an Eng
lish lawyer were riding together. Said
the former; "Sir, do you ever make
mistakes in your pleading?" "I do,"
replied the lawyer. "An' what do ye
do wid mistakes?"' "Why, sir, if large
ones I mend them; if small, I let them
go. Da you ever make mistakes in
preaching-?" "Oh, I dispense wid
them in the same manner as ye do
yoursei'. I rectefee the lairge an' let
go the srua' ones. No' lang since, as
I wus preachin', I meant to obearve
that the devil was the father o' al' liars,
but made a mistake an' said the father
o al' lawyers. But the mistake wus so
sma' that 1 let it go."

One Wife Sureljr Knouslt.
Margherita Arlina Hamm, the well
known traveler and author, called,
when in China, upon the wife, or
rather the wives, of the great manda
rin. Her visit partook of the nature
of a festival, so novel was the experience
to the Chinese women, whose lives are
passed almost entirely within the wall
of their yamen. They examined ber
clothing, and were partly pleased and
partly astonished at especially by the
fact that her feet were not confined by '
bindings.
Finally one of them said through the
interpreter: "lou can walk and tun
just as well as a man?"
"Of course." ,
"Can you ride a'pony as well its a
man?"
'Why, fleatainly." m
"Then you must be as strong as
most men?"
"Yes, I think I arm.
"You wouldn't let a man beat you
not even your husband, would you?"
"Not at all."
The Chinese woman paused, laugked
and then said: "Now I understand
why foreigners never take more than
one wife. They are afraid to?

Two Americans who were crossing5'
the Atlantic met in the cabin on Sun
day nigbt to sing hymns, says the Pitts
burg Gazette
As they sang the last 'hymn, "Jesus,
Lover of My Soul, 'tone of them heard
an exceedingly rich and beautiful voice
behind him He looked around, and,
although he dirt not know the face, he
thought that he knew the voice. So
when the music ceased he turned and
asked the man if he had been in the
Civil War. The man replied that he
had been a Confederate soldier.
"Were you st such a place on such
a night?" asked the first.
"Yes," he replied, "and a curiouB
thing happened that night which this
hymn has recalled to my mind. I was
posted on sentry duty near the edge o'f
a wood. It was a dark night and very
cold, and I was 'a little frightened be
cause the enemy was supposed to be
very near. About midnight, when
everything was very still, and I was
feeling homesick and miserable and
weary, I thought that I would comfort
myself by praying and singing a hymn.
I remember singing this hymn:
All my trust on thee Is stayed.
All my help from tbee I bring:
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of tby what.
'After singing that a strange peace
came down upon me, and through the
long night I felt no more fear.
"Now, said the other, "listen to
my story. I was a Union soldier and
was in the wood that night with a party
of scouts. I saw you standing,
although I did not see your face. My
men had their rifles focused upon you
waiting the word to fire, but when you
sang out:
"Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
"I said, 'boys, lower your rillcs; we
will go home." '

If they are sick or out

Pains, aches and rheu

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

It used to be considered that only urinary
