ON THE FARM IN OLD MISSOURI. Back there in old Missouri, where the joys of life abound. When Thanksgiving day's approaching and the turkey's strutting round; When the punkin's turning yellow in the crisp November air And the smell of apple butter penetrates the atmosphere. Oh, my heart is filled with longing as the thought comes to my mind. Of the joys of old Missouri 'long about Thanksgiving time. Back there in old Missouri, when the corn's all gathered in. When the cider's in the cellar and the apples fill the bin, Then us boys we used to sit around the fireplace shinin' bright, Tellin' stories, playin' games and crackin' hickory nuts at night; And a thousand memories haunt me as I sit lone and pine. For the joys of old Missouri 'long about Thanksgiving time. Back there in old Missouri, in that land of pure delight, Where the gently wavin' corn fields sing a lullaby at night. To the baby squirrels a-sleepin' in their nests up in the trees, And the whippoorwill's sad music mingles with the evening breeze; Oh, I'm feelin' kind o' homesick as such thoughts come back to mind. And I yearn for old Missouri 'long about Thanksgiving time. Back there in old Missouri, to the folks a-livin' there. It don't seem to cut no figure if the fields are brown and bare; They ain't got no time to dream about the summer days that's gone. But seem content with any weather that's a mind to come along; For everybody's busy and a-feelin' mighty fine. Back there in old Missouri 'long about Thanksgiving time. Back there in old Missouri, how I long for just one sight. Of the dear old country homestead, as I sit alone tonight, And a thousand tender feelings come a-well in my breast As I think about the pleasures swarmin' round the old home nest; Oh, the tears come startin' up again in these old eyes of mine As I think of old Missouri. 'long about Thanksgiving time. CHAS. H. MARTIN. Suffering in Sweden Dispatches received from Stockholm state that the famine is spreading throughout the extreme north of the country. Seventy thousand people are starving, or on the verge of starvation. Heavy and protracted rainfalls have inundated the fields and meadows and flooded many houses. Much of the livestock has been isolated on the hills, which are barren of pasture. In numerous localities the inhabitants are killing their flocks and herds A Lake That Never Gives Up Its Dead. "The Great Lakes" is the subject of an article in St. Nicholas. The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior: Another very interesting and very sad thing about this lake is that it never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster—happily infrequent in the tourist season—and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes up again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyageurs in their trim birch bark canoes skirted the picturesque shores of this noffle but relentless lake down to this present moment those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone paved bottom. It may be that so very cold is the water some of their bodies may have been preserved through the centuries. Sometimes not far from the shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smacks or from pleasure boats overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after the most heroic efforts with dragnet or by the diver. Once on a trip down the lakes I met a clergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering the narrowing of the lake at the Soo, pointed out the place where the ill fated Algoma went down on the reef some eight years ago, and as he looked he said slowly: "I was at the funeral of one man who went down with her, and the only reason his body is not at the bottom today with the other 88 that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of the vessel and could not sink." He'd Better Trade Her Off. There is a certain Yorkshire man who has won considerable fame and some wealth as an expert handler of horses. He is also the possessor of a pleasant home, a charming wife and a bright 3-year-old boy. The latter is the delight of his father's heart, and the little fellow not only knows lots of horse talk, but takes a keen delight in a mild attempt at holding the reins over a fast gee. The wee horseman has picked up the habit of calling his parents by their first names, and the way in which he utters them is devoidedly cunning. One day not long ago his father came home in a hurry and found the luncheon wasn't ready. “What do you think of that, my small man?” he cried laughingly as he uncrowned Queens. In the original meaning of the word every woman was a queen, for the queen meant woman. In monarch countries the wife of the king became the queen—the woman. In America give the word back its original meaning and every woman becomes a queen. The crown of womanhood is maternal. Every healthy woman looks forward to marriage. Every wife looks forward to motherhood as the crown of wifehood. And yet there are many uncrowns; women who because she does for children is unrealized feel that they have missed the full regal height womanhood. It is one of the sad features of a law bureau of medical correspondence as conducted by Dr. Pierce, of B.N.Y., that it has to deal so many with the disappointed hopes of women who have failed of the happiness. But it is one of the privileges of this same medical foundation bureau that in the number of such cases, the obstinate maternity are overcome by the establishment of the womanly health. Suffering in Sweden Dispatches received from Stockholm state that the famine is spreading throughout the extreme north of the country. Seventy thousand people are starving, or on the verge of starvation. Heavy and protracted rainfalls have inundated the fields and meadows and flooded many houses. Much of the livestock has been isolated on the hills, which are barren of pasture. In numerous localities the inhabitants are killing their flocks and herds and even their milch cows, or selling them at ruinous prices. Cows bring only $5 and sheep 50 cents. Even in districts where the famine has been comparatively light the savings of the people, which are derived chiefly from stock raising, are generally exhausted. Birch bark and seed grain ground together is a common article of diet. It is almost impossible for farmers to get work and they cannot mortgage their farms, which the floods have temporarily rendered worthless. In certain districts the outlook is exceedingly gloomy. The people will have to depend on very light crops—less than half the previous minimum—of extremely poor quality. These distressing conditions are to be found throughout the whole stretch of country between the sixty-first and sixty-seventh degrees of north latitude, and from the Gulf of Bothnia and the Russian border far into the interior. Southern Sweden has contributed $100,000 in money and 1000 cars loaded with fodder and provisions. Municipalities in the starving area have been supplied with $75,000 five-year loans without interest. Nevertheless it is feared all the resources of the famine-stricken district will be exhausted not later than the month of March. Summer in those regions, which are mostly above the Arctic circle, does not begin until June or July. The winters are characterized by polar severity and Egyptian darkness, relieved only by the northern lights. French and English Crusoes. French men of letters have not enough of the adaious spirit of the English, says Henry D. Sedgwick in The Atlantic. They troop to Paris, where they have been accustomed to sit on their classical benches since Paris became the center of France. The romance of Villon is the romance of a Parisian thief. The romance of Ronsard is the romance of the Parisian salon. Montaigne lives on his seigniority while England is topsy turvy with excitement of new knowledge and new feeling. Cornellile has the molleness of a june fille. You can measure them all by their ability to plant a colony. Wreck them on a desert island, Villon will plok blackberries, Ronsard will skip stones, Montaigne whittle, Cornellile look like a gentleman, and the empire of France will not increase by a hand's breadth. Take a handful of Elizabethan poets, and Sidney would chop, Shakespeare would cook, Jonson dig, Bacon snare, Marlowe catch a wild ass, and in 24 hours they would have a log fort, a score of savage animals, a wilderness and the sun. He is also the possessor of a pleasant home, a charming wife and a bright 3-year-old boy. The latter is the delight of his father’s heart, and the little fellow not only knows lots of horse talk, but takes a keen delight in a mild attempt at holding the reins over a fast gee. The wee horseman has picked up the habit of calling his parents by their first names, and the way in which he utters them is decidedly cunning. One day not long ago his father came home in a hurry and found the luncheon wasn’t ready. “What do you think of that, my small man?” he cried laughingly as he tossed the 8-year-old in the air. “Here’s papa come home in a terrible hurry and no luncheon ready. What ought we to do with such a terrible mamma?” The little fellow’s eyes sparkled. “Trade her off, Harry; trade her off!” he shouted. — Pearson’s Weekly. Has No Friends. Village Consin (showing his city relative around the hamlet) — That quiet, harmless looking man on the opposite side of the street is a member of the church and one of the most public spirited, kind hearted and charitable men in the whole community, and yet he is the hardest hated and most industriously despised person in the village. City Consin—How does that come about? Village Consin—Why, you see, he has kept a diary continuously since 1871, conscientiously and methodically jotting down from time to time all the important and unimportant happenings, episodes and incidents in our village life, marriages, births, the state of the weather, condition of the crops, what So-and-so paid for such and such a house, and so on and so forth, including the gift of everybody’s political utterances. And whenever the revered oldest inhabitant says that this is the coldest, hottest, wettest or driest season in ten years, or a lady makes an assertion regarding her age, or some one declares he paid a certain sum for his property, or a local politician cries out that he has always worked for the success of some particular party and never scratched his ticket, the man with the diary pulls out his little book and calmly calls them down, as if it was his bound duty to do so. — Boston Journal. Queen Victoria’s Marked Poem. Here is a funny story told of a happening at the English court: Sir Theodore Martin had been requested by Victoria to read aloud from “The Ring and the Book.” Sir Theodore was courtier enough to make a cautious study beforehand of the poem, and he placed marginal notes as danger signals against passages of doubtful propriety. The marked copy changed to come into hands of a rather thoughtless court lady. “I have so enjoyed this wonderful work,” she said to a friend, “and it has been such an advantage to read it after the queen, for she has placed marks against the most beautiful parts, and, oh, what exquisite taste the dear queen has!” she added, pointing to the danger signals of Sir Theodore Martin—Quiver.

"I had pains in my back, could not sleep and when I got up in the morning felt worse than the night before.

Progress of Woman Suffrage. Women have secured equal political rights with men in Wyoming since 1869, in Colorado since 1893, in Utah since 1896 and in Idaho since 1897. Sixty years ago women could not vote anywhere. In 1845 Kentucky gave school suffrage to widows. In 1861 Kansas gave it to all women. In 1869 England gave municipal suffrage to single women and widows and Wyoming gave full suffrage to all women. School suffrage was granted in 1875 by Michigan and Minnesota, in 1876 by Colorado, in 1878 by New Hampshire and Oregon, in 1879 by Massachusetts and in 1880 by New York and Vermont. In 1881 municipal suffrage was extended to the single women and widows of Scotland. Nebraska gave school suffrage in 1883 and Wisconsin in 1885. In 1886 school suffrage was given in Washington and municipal suffrage to single women and widows in New Brunswick and Ontario. In 1887 municipal suffrage was extended to all women in Kansas and school suffrage in North and South Dakota, Montana, Arizona and New Jersey. In the same year Montana also gave taxpaying women a vote on all questions submitted to taxpayers. In 1891 school suffrage was granted in Illinois. In 1892 municipal suffrage was extended to single women and widows in the province of Quebec. In 1898 school suffrage was granted in Connecticut and full suffrage in Colorado and New Zealand. In 1894 school suffrage was granted in Ohio, a limited municipal suffrage in Iowa and parish and district suffrage in England to women both married and single. In 1895 full suffrage was granted in Australia to women both married and single. In 1896 full suffrage was established by Utah and Idaho. In 1897 equal suffrage amendments were submitted in North Dakota and Washington, and will be voted upon next fall in those states—Woman's Journal. "Say, old man, what is a summer girl?" "A 'summer girl' is a rack to stretch shirt waists on; inside is a receptacle for lobster salad and ice cream, while outside is an attachment for diamond rings." Uncrowned Queens. The original meaning of the word woman was a queen, for the word meant woman. In monarchic times the wife of the king became queen—the woman. In America we use word back its original meaning: every woman becomes a queen. Every wife looks forward to marriage as the crown of wifehood. Yet there are many uncrowned women who because the desire children is unrealized feel that they missed the full regal height of adulthood. One of the sad features of a large number of medical correspondence such as conducted by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, Y., that it has to deal so many times in the disappointed hopes of women who have failed of the happiness of eternity. But it is one of the glad privileges of this same medical correspondence bureau that in the greater number of such cases, the obstacles to eternity are overcome by the establishment of the womanly health. for the cure of diseases peculiar to women. It will cure any disease which is curable by the use of medicine, and often cures diseases pronounced incurable by local physicians, or which they state are curable only by surgery. "Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for motherhood; tranquilizing the nerves, encouraging the appetite and inducing refreshing sleep. It makes the baby's advent practically painless. "For five years my wife was in an almost helpless condition, suffering from female weakness," writes J. B. Everritt, Esq., of Hagerman, Washington Co., Fla. "Last September I decided to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She took several bottles of the medicine and gave birth to a ten-pound son on January 31st, 1898. She is now sound and well and doing her housework." "I gladly recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Northumberland Co., Va. "Before my third little boy was born I took six bottles. He is the finest child and has been from birth, and I suffered very much less than I ever did before. I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use 'Favorite Prescription.'" AN INVITATION TO WOMEN. Sick women, especially those suffering from disease in chronic form, are invited to consult Doctor Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held in sacred secrecy and womanly confidences are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his personal consultations with sick women at the Invalida' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. In a little over thirty years, Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalida' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women. Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter is not to be confused with misleading advertisements of "free medical advice" made by those who have neither FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the Industries and Resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, It's Time You can well affect you come to The Bride your railway fare both saving will be great, by most dealers for You'll find it very s An conducted by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, NY, that it has to deal so many times the disappointed hopes of women who have failed of the happiness of eternity. But it is one of the glad privileges of this same medical correspondence bureau that in the greater number of such cases, the obstacles to eternity are overcome by the establishment of the womanly health. Not infrequently women write that they feel perfectly well and cannot understand why they are denied the external happiness which they desire. Such women learn that feeling well and being well are widely different matters. New women are by nature debarred from the happiness of maternity. In the majority of cases Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, supplemented by his free medical consultation by letter, are sufficient to establish the womanly health and remove the obstacles to maternity. AN OPERATION AVOIDED. "I had been a sufferer from uterine double for about three years, having two shaps in that time and the doctors that I consulted said that I would go through an operation before I could give birth to children," writes Mrs.anche E. Evans, of Parsons, Luzerne County, Pa., Box 41. "When about to give in despair I saw the advertisement of Dr. Pierce's medicine in the Wilkes-Barre Record, and thought I would give a trial as a last resort. I bought a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription from the druggist, T. F. O'Donnell, Parsons, and after taking it felt better than I had for years. Felt improved before I had taken one-half of the bottle. After I had taken four and a half bottles gave birth to a bright baby girl, who is now four months old, and has not had a day of sickness. She is as bright as can be. I cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is peculiarly and specifically a medicine specially those having contracts to provide labor to the railroads, have taken off fees to applicants—of whom there are few—and notified the state labor bureau of Illinois to send all the help they can muster to them. They have sent notices to other cities that they will pay for transportation to Chicago, but the conditions elsewhere stand in the way of a realization of their desires. The scarcity of labor is not confined to the railroads or any line of business, but it is general in the broadest sense of the word. Many a housewife is doing her own work because of the dearth of domestics. In no other field is the shortage of help more pronounced. The general average of wages for domestic help has increased, but girls who formerly worked in homes are more content with labor in factories and stores. Boys are needed everywhere, but cannot be found. The scarcity of boys has come to be a problem for the business men to solve. Thousands of youngsters that were compelled to assist in the maintenance of their families in former years are now enjoying the benefits of the schools.

Never in the history of the Central West has the demand for labor been greater, nor within the memory of the oldest business men such a scarcity of wage earners existed. The conditions are unprecedented. As a result industries are suffering, in that they cannot operate to capacities warranted by the conditions. Manufacturers are offering the greatest inducements to labor in the history of their operations. Hundreds of the largest and hardest pushed concerns in the Central West have found that their only salvation lies in the importation of labor from the East, where, according to the Westerners, the activity is not nearly so great. They have been able to obtain some relief from this source. All lines of trade are being pushed as never before, and instead of diminishing, the activity seems to grow more pronounced. Students of the commercial and industrial situation in the Central West say present conditions are assured for a year to come. Railroads having terminals in Chicago are greatly hampered.

Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation,the most secure water rights; that exist in Southern California That is what we have said many a time and oft These figures prove it.

Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. A.J.Snell wanted to attend a party, but was afraid to do so on account of pains in his stomach, which he feared would grow worse. He says: "I was telling my troubles to a lady friend, who said: 'Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy will put you in condition for the party.' I bought a bottle and take pleasure in stating that two doses cured me and enabled me to have a good time at the party." Mr. Snell is a resident of Summer Hill, N.Y.

BEARS HUNTING THE PRESIDENT The December dinner at the Gridiron club at the Arlington hotel, Washington, was the usual success. One of the best hits of the evening came late, when two bears appeared. One was a real bear and the other was impersonated by a member of the club. He announced that they were from Mississippi, and were looking for the president. They had tried to find him in the cane brakes a few weeks ago, but failing, had come to Washington in search of him. After partaking of refreshments, they departed, as was said, for the White House.

Thedford's Black-Draught The Great Family Medicine Thedford's Black-Draught has saved doctors' bills for more than sixty years. For the common family miliments, such as constipation, indigestion, hard colds, bowel complaints, chills and fever, biliousness, headaches and other like complaints no other medicine is necessary. It invigorates and regulates the liver, assists digestion, stimulates action of the kidneys, purifies the blood, and purges the bowels of foul accumulations. It cures liver complaint, indigestion, sour stomach, dizziness, chills, rheumatic pains, sideache, backache, kidney troubles, constipation, diarrhoea, biliousness, piles, hard colds and headache. Every drugist has Thedford's Black-Draught in 25 cent packages and in mammoth size for $1.00. Never accept a substitute. Insist on having the original made by the Chattanooga Medicine Company. I believe Thedford's Black-Draught is the best medicine on earth. It is good for any and everything. I have a family of twelve children, and for four years I have kept them on foot and healthy with no doctor but Black-Draught. A.J.GREEN, Illewara, La.
