DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL
THURSDAY EVENING.
A most delightful musical was
given Thursday evening at the
home of Mrs. L. Hirsch by Miss
Mary McKinnon’s pupils.
The first number on the pro
gram was a piano duet, “Come
Dance With Me,” by Misses
Bertha Hirsch and Beatrice Mc
Hugh, two of Mrs. Johnson’s
pupils. It was played particu
larly smooth and with excellent
technique for pianists so young.
Miss Ellen Jones followed with
a violin solo, “Lounds From Lu
ray,” waltz, which she played
with marked improvement and a
well sustained tone throughout.
Miss Hilda Bailey’s piano se
lection, impromptu, was happily
chosen and was rendered in a
dainty and sprightly manner.
Miss Della Bernstein’s voice
came out well in ‘ ‘Lament’ ’ and
“Carmenta,” the contrast in the
songs affording an opportunity
for variety of expression.
Mrs. S. D. Campbell made her
first appearance in the popular
Brohms’ “Cradle Song” and
“Love’s Madrigade” by Ken
nette Rae. Mrs. Campbell has
a rich soprano and her interpre
tation of the songs showed care
ful, intelligent study.
The program closed with a
violin duet by Miss McCauley
and Miss McKinnon, ably as
sisted at the piano by Mrs. R. M.
Johnson. Miss McCauley played
with breadth and feeling and the
chief essential of a good violinist,
a true ear.
Miss McKinnon then gave a
few selections, which closed the
evening’s entertainment.

CASHIER SHANGHAIED.;
Excitement at Pocahontas Caused
by a Letter From John
J. Bispham.
Pocahontas, Ark., May 19.—
There is considerable excitement
here over a letter received from
John J. Bispham, assistant cash
ier of the Randolph County
Bank. Mr. Bispham, accompan
ied by his wife, left here about
three weeks ago for a visit to his
people at Piedmont, Ala. From a
telegram of inquiry received
from his wife this morning by
Mr. Bispham’s parents it is in
ferred that he left Piedmont to
visit a friend at Anniston and
while on this trip he was foully
dealt with, as is explained by the
following letter. The letter bore
no date and was mailed on an
Atlanta and New Orleans train:
“My Own Dear Parents:— I
know you all are worried and
grieved over me on account
of my sudden disappearance, but
it was anything but voluntary on
my part, as i was tncxea,
knocked down and carried off,
and today am in the hold of a
vessel, a captive, and under
stand the boat leaves today. I
have one friend here whom I am
depending on to mail this. He
tried to mail one before and got
a thrashing for his trouble. Am
well at present but sick at heart.
Escape seems to be next to im
possible, but there will come a
chance, so keep a brave heart
and know I will get away as soon
as I can. Please let Eula, my
wife, know 1 want to write her
too, but one may get lost or taken
from the boy. Love to all. Your
loving son, “John.”
LETTER TO MR. J. W.
GRUBBS, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: You are interested
in the prosperity of your town.
You can contribute to it materi
ally, and give it a far more pros
perous look at the same time.
Perhaps the public property
needs a good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat
with two thirds of the number of
gallons required of any other.
Devoe is all paint and full meas
ure% Devoe is the strongest paint
known. Devoe will take care of
the property, in the long run, for
half the money required by any
other.
The reason is stated above;
Devoe is all paint and full meas
ure; the strongest paint known.
E. D. Jewel, Corry, Pa., paint
ed his house 5 years ago with a
mixed paint; took 14 gallons.
Last spring he repainted with
Devoe; bought 14 gallons and
had 4 left. Saved $15 to $20,
for painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
95 New York and Chicago.
For good board and beds, in
quire at 209 Hazel street. tf

HFI EN thousand cured
I I women have written
| j[ to tell how Wine of
" Cardui bestows the
blessing of health on every
woman who takes it, rich
and poor alike. Mrs.
Helena Blau, No. 123 Sev
I enth Street, Milwaukee,
Wis., is one of the young
women whom Wine of Car
dui has rescued from a life
i of suffering. She writes:
“Wine of Cardui is certainly ‘worn
out' women's best friend and I am pleased
to give my experience with it. A few
months ago I caught a severe cold, hav
ing been out in inclement wealiier, which
settled all over me, particularly in the
abdomen. I was in almost constant pain.
I consulted a physician and took his
medicine for a month and without any
relief. I then decided I would try your
medicine and it was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I noticed a change in a
few days and felt encouraged to continue
taking Wine of Cardui, and my patience
was rewarded, for in two weeks my pains
had left me and f felt like a new woman."
The woman who has suf- K
erecl from female weakness JR
should do anything within K|
reason to secure health.
Wine of Cardui is the medi- I ^
oine that appeals to reasona- I *
ble women — women who I
hold operations and cutting 1
in horror—women who know I
that Nature is the best phy- I
sician. Wine of Cardui IJ
gives women back their 1||
ealth by giving Nature a pH
chance to build up the wasted and dis
eased tissue. Wine of Cardui regulates
the menstrual flow and Nature, when i
relieved of the drains or of the poisons
in the system, makes the functional
organs strong and healthy again.
Any woman who is silently suffering
untold pains because she is too sensitive
to undergo a physician’s examination
and treatment can find no excuse for
not securing relief when Wine of Car
dui is offered to her. There is no pub
licity to deter her. She can take Wine
of Cardui in the privacy of her home,
with as much assurance of a final cure
as though a dozen doctors recommended
it. Many physicians do recommend
Wine of Cardui to their patients.
Why not get a $1.00 bottle of Wine
of Cardui from your druggist today?
