Would Accept Mr*. Davis' Offer.
The Mobile (Ala.) Register advises
the legislature of Mississippi to accept
Mrs. Davis's offer and buy Beauvoir,
Jefferson Davis's late home. The house
and grounds have, it is said, been neg-
lected and ill-kept, only a custodian re-

vannah, Ga., as honorary aid on his
staff, with the rank of lieutenant

such a position of a resident of an-
other state may be lessened by the
knowledge that they have been for
many years close personal frienda;
that both are newspaper men, and that
Col. EstJU, who has had much mili-
tary experience, is a native of South

For Her Slater's Sake.
Stendal, Ind., Mar. 10th.—Mrs. Sarah
A. Shrode of this place says:
I suffered much as many other
women do with Kidney and Bladder
Troubles. I tried many medicines but
got no relief until I used Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills.
"Nine boxes of this remedy cured
me completely and 1 feel it my duty
to my fellow women to make this
statement.
'I can heartily recommend them
to any woman suffering with Kidney
and Bladder Ailments."
The words of Mrs. Shrode will be
good news to many of her suffering
sisters. Dodd's Kidney Pills have
proven themselves to be sick women's
best friend for they are as effectual
in all cases of Female Weakness as
in Bladder and Kidney Disease,

NER TRIBUTE OF SYMPATHY.
Announcement That Called Ont an Ex
preaalon or Deep Sorrow.
It was tho turn of the Columbia law
student who had figured successfully as
an Intercollegiate debater.
"True sympathy sometimes cropB out
where you least expect to see it," he
paid. "One cold day lust December I
was walking through a greenhouse in
Harlem. As 1 paused down one of the
walks near tho outside I noticcd a little
girl with her face pressed against the
frosty wlnodw looking wistfully at the
flowers. The gardener's attention be-
ing drawn to her, he asked her in. She
was crying, and the longing way in
which she looked at the flowers touch-
ed us both. The gardener asked her if
the would like very much to have some
of them. The look of gratitude that
came into her glistening eyes needed no
words of interpretation. He gave her
a bunch of carnations freshly cut that
morning.
"We both took an Eighth avenue car
down town. She sat near the door and
as the cold wind blew in she would
shake and the tears caused by the cold
and her sad errand came unchecked.
The affection she bestowed upon that
little bunch of flowers soon aroused the
attention and pity of most of those in
the car. She would bury her face in
the flowers and in her attempt to choke
back the sobs her thinly clad little
frame would shake so that I noticed
it from my seat at the front end of
the car.
"I had to leave the car at Thirtieth
street, and when I reached the curb
I noticed that she, too, had left the car.
By that time 1 was very much inter-
ested in her, and decided to follow her
and see what she would do. She walk-
ed toward the North river, and then
turned down the avenue and stoppec
before a barber's shop. I thought tc
myself this is a public place, and I'll
go in and see what is the cause of hei
eorrow and to whom she is taking these
flowers. She timidly approached th«
first barber, and between her sobs told
him that she had brought these flowers
for that poor man who had died. Tht
barber looked up surprised^and said.
" 'My child, you have made some mis-
take."
" 'No, sir,' she sobbed, 'I want to give
these flowers to him.'
" 'But you have made a mistake,' he
replied. 'There has been no death
here.'
"With the utmost assurance she
looked up at him and said, 'Oh, yes, sir,
he did die here, and I want you to give
him these flowers.'
" 'You must be mistaken. What
makes you think a man died here?'
"Turning to the front of the shop
she murmured, 'Please, sir, doesn't it
say there on the window, "Whiskers
Dyed Here"?'"—New York Times.
"Ont of the Months of Babes."
Edward Terry tells of a pretty inci-
dent which occurred during one of his
tours: "Do you know what I consider
the most glowing tribute I ever re-
ceived? The compliment came from a
child. There was a crowded house—an
intent audience—and humor had, for
the instant, given way to pathoB. You
might have heard a pin drop, and I
felt the tension of the house was at
breaking point The intense silence
was broken by a childish voice—a girl's
—who, turning to her parent, asked in
a broken voice, 'Father, is it real'?"
Dnke of Atholl • Gaelic Scholar.
Among the present-day Highland
chiefs few are able to speak Gaelic, one
notable exception being the Duke of
Atholl, who, In addition to being able
to converse in the classic language, is
doing his best to encourage its exten-
sive use. Gaelic classes were, under
his influence, held all laat winter at
Blair Atholl, his ancestral home, and
the examination of the pupils showed
good results.

The s aw Dag
Which the working man has fought for
and succeeded in obtaining is something
the wife has no share in. Her day be-
gins before his and ends long after it,
as a rule, and manv a night her rest is
broken by the baby's
fretfulneas. The
heslthiest woman
must wear out under
such a strain. What
can be expected then
of those women
who are weaken-
ed by woman-
ly diseases?
Women
who are
weak,
worn-out
and run-down will find new
life and new strength in the
use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It establishes
regularity, dries weakening
drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration, and cures
female weakness. It makes
weak women strong and
sick women well.
Sick neople sre invited to
consult Dr. Pierce, by letter,
free. All correspondence is
held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
"I suffered with female weakness about eight
years—tried several doctors but derived no bene-
fit uutil I began using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription," writes Mrs. John Green, of Danville,
Boyle Co., Ky. "This medicine was recom-
mended to me by other patients. I have taken
sue bottles and I feel like another person."
The dealer who offers a substitute for
"Favorite Prescription," is only seeking
to make the little more profit paid ou
the sale of less meritorious medicines.
His profit is your loss. Refuse all sub-
stitutes.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used with " Favorite Prescription " when-
ever a laxative ia required.
