A Classic in Kentucky.
They have been telling this story
down in the Blue Grass so long that
ihe Louisville Courier-Journal says
it is regarded as a classic:
"Majah," announced the colonel,
"I'll bet I've sweat no less than 17
gallons!"
"Begging your pardon, luinnel," re-
turned the major, desisting from a
long libation, "gentlemen don't sweat;
they perspire. Horses sweat."
"Well, then," returned the now ir-
ritated colonel, glaring at the calm
and contented critic of his diction,
"by gad, suh, I'm a hoss!"
In the Future.
First Ward Politician—We'll carry
our ticket.
Second Ditto—But you forget our
opponent is the reform candidate, and
he will get all the women's votes.
First W. P.—Won't be any women's
votes to count.
Second Ditto—How do you know
they won't vote?
First W. P.—Because we have ar-
ranged with the stores to have big
bargain sales on election day.-—Balti-

With a smooth iron and Defianea
Starch, you can launder your shirt-
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can: it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to tbe
Iron.
Often the Case.
"Why are you making those hor-
rible faces?"
"I'm amusing the baby!"
"But the child is screeching."
"Yes; some people can't realize
that they are being amused."
A man seldom has as big a bank
balance as he wants acquaintances to
believe he has.
WORTH
MOUNTAINS
OFGOLD
During Change of Life,
says Mrs. Chas. Barclay
Graniteville, Vt. — "I was passing
through tlieChangeof Life and suffered
from iiervousness
and other annoying
symptoms, and I
can truly say that
LydiaK.Pinkham's
Vegetable Com-
pound has proved
worth mountains
of gold to me, as it
restored my health
and strength. J
never forget to tell
my friends what
LydiaE.l'inktiam's
Vegetable Compound" has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women 1 am w illing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
thiB letter." —Mrs. Chac. Barclay,
JI.F.D..Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such wide-spread and un-
qualified endorsement. J 'o otliermed-
ieine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, ulceration, local weak-
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs hut little to try Lydia K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is "worth moun-
tains of gold " to suffering women.

MANY DROWNED IN SEA
! ON E HUNDRED LIVES LOST
TERRIBLE CRASH.
MEN SURVIVE WHITE THE WOMEN PERISH
Steamers Crash While Inmates Sleep
and Columbia Sinks Almost lm*
mediately—Many Bodies are
Recovered.
I .Monteviilo.—Between 150 and 200
persons were drowned or otherwise
I killed when in a driving rainstorm
about ti o'clock Tuesday morning the
Argentine excursion steamer Colom-
bia and the North German Lloyd
steamer Scljleslen collided at the ei\
trance of Montevido harbor. The Col-
ombia was entering port and the
Schlesieu was outward bound for Bre-
men The Columbia's bow was crush-
ed iu and she sank almost immediate-
ly.
The Colombia carried about 200
passengers and a crew of forty-eight
mtn. Most of the passengers were
asleep and panic followed the crash.
Almost immediately small boats put
out to the sinking steamer, but the
work of rescue was rendered very dif-
ficult by the high sea. About TO per-
sons were brough ashore. Most of the
dead are women and children. A ma-
jority of the survivors are men. After
tin accident the captain of the ship
tried to commit suicide.
The Columbia was carrying excur-
sionists from Buenos Ayres to a fes-
tival at Montevideo and the disaster
has caused the keenest emotion.
The Schlesieu was only slightly
damaged and has been detained here
by the port authorities. Her com-
mander attributed the collision to the
wind and high seas, which made both
steamers almost unmanageable. Th
channel is now partially obstructed by
the wreck of the Columbia. Most of
the survivors were taken from the
mas's and many of them were in-
jured.
While great numbers of women and
children were drowned, almost every
one of the ship's complement was
saved.
Scores of bodies have been recover-
ed and are now lying at the custom-
house, but many of them have not
I been identified.
The storm still continues crippling
! telegraphic and telephonic communi-
cation between Buenos Ayres and
; Montevideo.
The Columbia was an old steamer
of 1,200 tons, engaged in the regular
passenger service between this port
and Buenos Ayres.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thlr- |
a party of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some of the party ar« well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at a few blades
of grass, and she innocently thought
that goats , were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach-
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar-
of color schemes, artistic, harmonious |

WIDELY SOLICITUDE,
PROVED BY TIME.
No Fear of Any Further Trouble.
David Price, Corydon, la., says: "I :
was in the last stage of kidney trouble
—lame, weak, run
down to a mere j
skeleton. My back
was so bad I could t
hardly walk and :
the kidney secre- |
tions much disor- j
dered. A week after
I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills j
I could walk with-
out a cane, and as I continued my
health gradually returned. I was so
grateful I made a public statement of
my case, and now seveil years have
passed, I am still perfectly well."

He Was Well Equipped.
A Methodist bishop was recently a
guest at the home of a friend who had
two charming daughters. One morn-
ing the bishop, accompanied by the
two young ladles, went out in the hope
1 of catching some trout. An old fisher-
man, out for the same purpose, wish-
ing to appear friendly, called out:
"Ketchin' many, pard?"
The bishop, straightening himself
to his full height, replied: "Urother,
1 am a fisher of men."
"You've got the right kind o' bait,
all right," was the fisherman's re-
joinder.—Success Magazine.
Negro Cremated by Angry Whites.
Monroe, La.—William S. Wade, a
negro, Tuesday ran amuck in the
principal business street of Monroe.
With a double barreled gun he shot
first at every white man he saw and
tlit>n at every object before him.
The fire was returned and the ne-
gro finally fell dead with a bullet
through his heart, but not before
twenty-nine men, three of them ne-
groes, had been wounded.
Wede's body was publicly burned
after it had been cut down from a
| pole on which it had hung for half
an hour or moye after he was killed.
It was at first reported that Wade
was half crazed from cocaine and
cheap whisky, but an investigation by
the police showed that when he pur-
chased the shotgun and box of shells
a few minutes before he first opened
fore, there was nothing unusual in his
manner, lie had not been drinking
nor did he show any evidence of tak-
ing cocaine.
Wade came to Monroe recently from
Pine Bluff. Ark.
Burglar—Hands up!
Wife—Oh, .Tohn, be careful of those

Wedding Fee in Installments.
Some of the 'squires in rustic New-
Jersey seem to be pretty hard pushed [
for cash. To get the cash they do not j
hesitate to use most unusual methods. ]
One of these J. P.'s advertised the I
other day that he was ready and will j
ing to marry couples at any time, day j
or night, for a consideration of $5 and
that he was willing to accept $1 in
cash down and the rest in weekly in-
stallments of $1 until the lee of $5
j was paid up. The very night after the
first appearance of this advertisement
the J. P. referred to was called upon
to "make good" his bluff. Shortly after
midnight a couple which had come in
an automobile awakened hiin from bis
sleep and asked to be married undet
the installment plan offered in the
advertisement. And the J. P. was
game and made good.
Railroads Pay Big Taxes.
Guthrie, Okla.—Over one-fifth of the
ad valorem taxes in Oklahoma are
paid by the railroads, accorddlng to
figures compiled from the books of
State Auditor M. E. Trapp, which
show that the total taxable valuation
of the railroads of the state is approx-
imately $175,000,000, while the valu-
ation of all property In the state sub-
ject to taxation is $864,172,152.
Unfortunately Coupled.
Alison tells how during Napoleon's
Egyptian campaign no sooner were
the Mamelukes observed at a dis-
tance than the word was given:
"Form square; artillery to the an-
gles; asses and savans to the center."
The command afforded no little merri-
ment to the soldiers even at such an
exciting moment, and made them call
the asses demi-savans.
Laundry worlt at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used, ln order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tbe
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.
Try the Laughter Cure.
If laughter is good for the bodily
well being it is equally good for men-
tal health. We are beginning to real-
ize this. Anxiety, fear, worry are
deadly enemies to the mind. Fight
a'_ainst them and against every in-
fluence that tends toward mental de-
pression as you would fight against a

A man who is good only on the sur-

Sheer white goods, In fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau- , temptation to dishonesty,
ty. Home laundering would be equal-
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.
The extraordinary popularity of fino
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a niatter of great im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It great strength as a soften-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
