If so, you know the sensation is not
an agreeable one, and hard to cure un.
less the proper remedy is used.

Guess the Tempo Was All Right, Too
The editor of a paper published in
Little Rock was once in receipt of a
complimentary copy of a musical com-
position by an Arkansas friend.
Feeling that he was called upon to
make some asknowledgment of the
courtesy, the editor did so in this
wise:
As the editor of this paper doesnt
know a demisemiquaver from a diapa-
son, or a bass clef from a 'high C, he
will not, therefore, be expected to give
an extended notice of this production.
We can say, however, that the type
used in printing the composition Is
clear and plain, and that the paper ap-
pears to be of the first quality of rag.
The design on the front page is most
artistic, and the words are as tender
as a real spring chicken and as po-
etic as the song of the meadow lark
on a May morning. The melody is
sound and all right, with no windgalls
or collar marks. The harmony, too,
appears to be strictly O. K., with no
patent defects or noticeable blemishes.
The tonality is clear and resonant, and
rests on harmonic relations and mel-
odic elements. This is about all the
praise in connection with said compo-
sition we are able to evolve from our
cabbage-flavored temperament.—Suc-
cess Magazine.

Chickasaw nation, where pasture lands
have been leased.
Robert Ross, a well-to-do citizen
living near Hart, was killed last
week by his son-in-law, William Hen-

A BUSY WOMAN
Oan Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed.
An energetic young woman living
just outside of New York, writes:
"I am at present doing all the house-
work of a dairy farm, caring for 2 chil-
dren, a vegetable and flower garden, a
large number of fowls, besides manag-
ing an extensive exchange business
through the mails and pursuing my
regular avocation as a writer for sev-
eral newspapers and magazines (de-
signing fancy work for the latter) and
all the energy and ability to do this I
owe to Grape-Nuts food.
"It was not always so, and a year
ago when the shock of my nursing
baby's death utterly prostrated me and
deranged my stomach and nerves so
that 1 could not assimilate as much
as a mouthful of solid food, and was In
even worse condition mentally, he
would have been a rash prophet who
would have predicted that It ever
would do so.
Prior to this great grief I had suf-
fered for years with Impaired diges-
tion, Insomnia, agonizing cramps in
the stomach, pain In the side, consti-
pation, and other bowel derangements,
all these were familiar to my dally
life. Medicines gave me no relief-
nothing did, until a few months ago,
at a friend's suggestion, I began to use
Grape-Nuts food, and subsequently
gave up coffee entirely and adopted
Postum Food CofTee at all my meals.
"To-day I am free from all the trou-
bles I have enumerated. My digestion
is simply perfect, I assimilate my food
without the least distress, enjoy sweet,
restful sleep, and have a buoyant feel-
ing of pleasure in my varied duties. In
fact, I am a new woman, entirely made
over, and I repeat, I owe It all to
Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
hook, "The Road to Wellvllle," In pkgs.
Most unique of the dinners given
this Beason was that which the "Taft-,
ers" gave the other night at the Wil-
lard for Mr. Taft, secretary of war.
The company which journeyed so hap-
pily together to the orient has de-
cided to celebrate every year, and this
event was the first.
After being received by the com-
mittee, including Senator Warren, Sen-
ator Murphy J. Foster, Representative
Shirley and Representative William
B. McKlnley, the guests passed into
the adjoining ballroom. In single file
they emerged upon the miniature deck
of the steamer Manchuria, behind
which were billows, canvas waves and
a tiny wharf piled with luggage. Pass-
ing from the gang-plank they crossed
a tiny Japanese bridge, and, descend-
ing, traversed a tea garden of the
Flowery kingdom, the perfume of wis-
teria, acacia and other dainty blooms
delighting them as they went on to
view the jungle.
Picturesque gates of China flanked
the other end of the room. In the cen-
ter of the room was a long table and
stretching down the length of it the
mossy archipelago of the Philippines.
Native huts and bridges flecked its
surface and sailing in the mirror wa-
ters surrounding it were curious crafts
of the orient.
A canopy over the table carried the
idea of a Philippine bungalow, its
bamboo posts hung with curios from
the land. Quantities of roses and oth-
er blossoms formed the outer fringe of
decorations. All the intervening spaces
in the room were banked with tall
palms and other greens suggestive of
the tropics, and the chandeliers were
draped with southern smilax and fes-
tooned with Japanese lanterns.
The "Tafters" loaned miniature huts,
boats and other souvenirs to give sug-
gestive touches. The place cards were
mounted kodak views taken on the
trip, most of them being photos of the
party, each guest receiving a picture
of the person on the voyage who most
Interested him or her. For Instance,
Mrs. Taft, who was not one of the
party, found at her place a photograph
of her husband, the secretary. Repre-
sentative Longworth found his place
by the smiling likeness of his bride,
and Representative Shirley was no less
fortunate by finding a picture of Miss
Mignon Croltton, his fiancee, whose
fate was also settled on that trip, wait-
ing at his seat at the table.
Of all the originality displayed in the
planning and carrying out of the feast,
no more was displayed than In the
compiling of the menu. This was in
book form, printed and bound In Fili-
pino cloth, decorated with a spray of
palm and entitled "The Second Voyage
of the Taft Philippine Party."
Between the covers were all sorts of
funny caricatures and others depicting
the voyage, a view of the president's
daughter, ready for the voyage, lead-
ing the series, likenesses of Queen Lll-
iuokalanl, the sultan of Sulu, and
many funny hits, the final being a list
of toasts. Mr. Shirley was tostmaster,
with following speakers: Mr. Taft,
"Pleasant Memorise;" Miss Mabel
Boardman, "The Ladles;" Represen-
tative Foster, "The Trip and the Trip-
pers:" Representative Grosvenor
"Somewhere East of Suez;" Represen
tatlve De Armond, "Guided by the Ma
glclan Into Wonderland, Wonderful
Things Happen;" Representative Ches-
ter I. Long, "Praise the Sea, but Keep
on Land."
Col. R. S. Harrison, Deputy Mar-
shal 716 Common St., Lake Charles,
La., says: "A kick
from a horse first
weakened my back
and affected my kid-
neys. I became very
bad, and had to go
about on crutches.
The doctors told me
I had a case of
chronic rheuma-
tism, but I could
not believe them,
end finally began using Doan's Kid-
ney Pills for my kidneys. First the
kidney secretions came more freely,
tben the pain left my back. I went
and got another box, and that com-
pleted a cure. I have been well for
two years."
Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box.

Our lives make a moral tradition
for our individual selves, as the line of
mankind at large makes a moral
tradition for the race, and to have
once acted greatly seems a reason
why we should always be noble.—

It is very difficult to keep on strik-
ing twelve every night. The bell

Church Was Her Refuge
One stormy Sunday morning the
pastor of a church in a small Ohio
town was much gratified to observe in
his congregation a woman who lived
some distance away.
At the conclusion of the services the
pastor congratulated the faithful one,
saying: "I must commend your brav-
ery in coming such a distance through
this terrible storm."
Much to his chagrin the woman re-
plied:
"Well, pastor, it's this way: My
husband won't go to church, and he's
that cross on Sunday morning after
breakfast that I just naturally have to
go somewhere to escape him."
ATTACKED THE HEART
An Iconoclast.
"Do you mean to say," exclaimed the
ardent patriot, "that you question the
absolute frankness of George Washing-
ton?"
"Well," answered the citizen who Is
always Involved in controversy, "I
won't go any further than to say that
any man who allows It to be understood
that he Is incapable of telling a lie makes
It evident then and there that he is de-
ficient In candor."—Washington Star.
Va
Awful Neuralgia Case Cured to Stay
Cured by Dr. Williama'
Pink Pills.
Neuralgia iu any form is painful but
wheu it attacks the heart itisfrequeutly
fatal. Complicated with indigestion of
a form that affected the vital organ it
threatened serious consequences iu an in-
stance just reported. The case is that of
Mr. F. L. Graves, of Pleasanthill, La.,
who tells of his trouble and cure as
follows: . .
" I traveled considerably, was exposed
to all kinds of weather and was irregular
in my sleeping and eating. I suppose
this was the cause of my sickness, atr
any rate, in May, 1905,1 had got so bad
that I was compelled to quit work and
take to my bed. I had a good doctor
and took his medicine faithfully but
grow worse. I gave up hope of getting
better and my neighbors thought I was
surely goiug to die.
"I had smothering spells that it is
awful to recall. My heart fluttered and
then seemed to cease beating. I could
not lie on my left side at all. My hands
and feet swelled and so did my face.
After reading about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills in a newspaper I decided to try
them and they suited my case exactly.
Before long I could see an improvement
and after taking a few boxes I was en-
tirely cured. I am glad to make this
statement and wish it could cause every
sufferer to trv Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

deaden pain; they cure the trouble which
causes the pain. They are guaranteed to
contain no narcotic, stimulant or opiate.
Those who take them run no danger ol
forming any drug habit. They act
directly on theblood and it is only through

the nerves. .,. „
