THE FARMERS BURDEN.
A Parody.
Take up the farmer's burden
Send forth the plows and teams
Jo, sow the grain in season,
To be the next year's moan
tio work in heavy harness,
Your broken colts and wild
Your new-found lusty hired-hand.
Half animal, half child.
Take up the farmer's burden -
In patience to abide,
The rain storms out of season.
Or dryness far and wide;
By plowing deep or shallow,
An hundred times made plain.
You seek your loss or profit,
And reap your only grain.
Take up the farmer's buraen
With neighbors make your pence
Dry up your petty quarrels,
And bid the fighting cease;
And when the goal Is nearest
(The end by farmer's sought)
Watch rust and heat and hailstorms
Rrlng all ynur hope to naught.
Take up the .farmer's burden
No easy thing presume,
Hut toil of slave and bondman,
Each day you will resume.
..'he lanes ye cannot enter.
The roads ye cannot tread,
Jo fix them with wour scraper
And work them till you're dead.
take up the farmer's burden,
And reap his old reward
i he thanks of those ye shelter.
The praise of those ye feed
ihe cry of those ye humor
(Ah gladdy!) morn and night:
Whence came your loaded tables.
Your fruits and cereals bright!"
Take up the farmer's burden -
Ye dare not stoop to less
Xor talk too loud on Congrats
To cloak your laziness.
By all your toll and labor,
By what ye plow and sow,
Vour worth will e'er be measured
No matter what you know.
Take up the farmer's burden!
Have done with slothful days
The lightly poffered "living,"
The easy going ways;
Come now and help your prairie
And pasture land as well,
To lavish forth their treasures
In happiness you'll dwell.

THE RALEIGH HONORED.
The presentation by the North Caro
linians in New York of a silver cup
to the cruiser Raleigh is a graceful re
cognition of the good service of the ves
sel named after the capital of the Old
North State. The Raleigh had the hon
jr of firing the first shot in the action
in Manila bay last May, and by general
?oood service deserved all the attentions
the New Yorkers have showered upon
her. A North Carolina girl presided at
,ier launching at Norfolk on March 31,
ic.y2, and the gallant Tar Heels resident
.n New York have now very properly
added their share to the honors she has
received.

There are thousands of women in America who are only half
alive. They merely drag' along month after month, no pleasure to
themselves or anybody else. They have constant headache, backache,
tired all the time, restless nights, everything a cause for tears, ex
hausted feeling in the morning, weak limbs, aching all over, no appe
tite, scant, irregular or too profuse menses.
There is no more necessity for this condition to continue than for a
nerson to iro hungry when wholesome food is offered. McElree's Wine
of Cardui is sent to weak, delicate, tired women to give them health. It is a nerve
tonic, and best of all, a regulator as well as a tonic for the delicate organs of menstru
ation, which, when deranged, cause more sickness among women than all other dis
eases combined. It can bo bought at any drug store and taken in the privacy of home.
It has given health to thousands of suffering women and will do as much for you.
Friar's Point, Miss., Oct. 17, JS98.
Pleace allow im to say a few words in
praise of your wonderful medicine. I have
taken Wine of Cardui with much benefit to
myself and have seen it do great things for
others. There is a lady here who has been
married eight y-urr, who had never had any
children, and the doctors said never could
have a child, but since taking Wine of Car
dui a fine child has been born. By giving
her Wine of Cardui I saved my sistir sbaby.
The doctor was going to take from her in
the spring, when I wrote to you to ask for
advice. She now has a fine healthy girL

Trinchera, Col., Dec 15, 1898.
I wrote you last summer and you ad
vised me to take Wine of Cardui and
Black-Draught I have taken three
bottles of the Wine of Cardui and four
packages of the Black-Draught, and I
am glad to let you know that I am bet
ter than I have been for four years.
My menstruation has been regular ever
since I took the first nine doses. When
I first commenced taking your medi
cine I was in bed and I tried several
doctors and they didn't do me any good,
and now I can do all my work ana not
get tired. I think I have had all the
troubles that could afflict a woman;
my back hurt, as did my head and lefjs,
and I had sick headache every time I
ate anything. Now I can eat anything
and not hurt me and don't get tired. I
think this is the best medicine ever
discovered. Mitf. CORA ROBINSON.
Sumner, Nek, Dec 2, 1898.
I have been taking Wine of Cardui
and find it a great relief. I had pains
in the back and lower part of the bow
els and at monthly periods would have
flooding spells. I have taken one bottle
of the Wine and part of another and
am very much better. I think Wine of
Cardui will give relief to all afflicted
women and I advise all who are trou
bled with womb diseases to take it.

Elsberry, Mo. Jan. 11, 1899.
Your agent was in to see us the
other day and we purchased a bio; bill
of Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught
from him. These medicines are first
class and we never hesitate to recom
mend them.

My wife is trying Wine of Cardui
and it is helping her.
DR. J. S. BRADBURY.
Winchester, Term., Jan. 8, 1899.
I have been using Wine of Cardui
and it has done much good. I have
been sick about four months with pain
in the head and other trouble. I saw
the Ladies' Birthday Almanac and
thought I would try the Wine. Al
most to my surprise it did great good
from the start. I can recommend it to
all friends as a good medicine.

A patient of mine has been using
your Wine of Cardui and says it has
done her good. S. W. SUM MY. M. D.

Akron, Ohio, Feb. 12, t899.
I want to thank you for
what Wine of Cardui has done
for me. I have been a grea I suf
ferer all mv life from weak nerves
and all the ills that women have. The doc
tors treatment seemed to give me no perma
nent relief just as soon as I stopped taking
it I was bad as ever. 1 trial everything I
could hear of, always with the same result,
continued suffering. Finally my husband
got me a bottle of Wine of Cardui and asked
me to try that. By the time I had taken
the thira dose I began to improve. Each dose
seemed to make me feel better and now af
ter taking two bottles the result is wonderful.
I was very thin weighing only about eighty
pounds, now I weigh nearly one hundred
pounds and am a better color than ever before.
This health I have now seems like a glimpse
into the beyond.
