NEAR DEATH
BY SMOTHERING
Bat Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, of
this place, says: “1 suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then I would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and I began using it.
It did me more good than all the medi
cines I had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say they have
been benefited by its use. There never
-as been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is
i good medicine for all womanly trou
bles.” . ;
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.

After reading of so many peo

cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills,

“Is this medicine equally suc
cessful in our neighboring

leaves no room for doubt on this
point.
Waldo McAdams, painter and
contractor, E. Race St., Searcy,
Ark,, says: “I had many symp
toms of kidney complaint, the
trouble being caused, no doubt,
by my work. There was a stea

Doan’s Kidney Pills soon cured
me.”

When Widow May Be Pensioned
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 5.—Any wi
dow of a Confederate soldiei
who is in indigent circumstance:
who has lived for a year in Arl
ansas, and who was the wife of
confederate veteran in 1878, i
entitled to receive a pension o
$100. This is the decision of th
Arkansas Pension Board whic!
is now in session. There ha
been some little difference o
opinion as to the amount the wi
dow is entitled to, or whether oi
not she may receive this amount
if she married after the veteran
died. The Board holds that the
widow of the veteran may re
ceive a pension, as his widow,
even though she married a half
dozen times after his demise,
just so she is a widow now and
in indigent circumstances.
The Board is composed of
Thomas Green, Sr., the head of
the Confederate Veterans of Ar
kansas, State Auditor L. L. Coff
i man and Secretary of State
| Earl W. Hodges. The meeting
Monday was a short one because
the counties have not all sent in
their pension reports, one coun
ty being delinquent, and nothing
can be done until this is receiv
ed.

Ptlk and s'>ti:\ fur and velvet had
given away to shimmering metal, to
plumed helmet and the pelt of bear
and wolf; instead of the warm glow
of precious stonps, flashed the cold
glint of naked steel, in place of caf
tan, cloak and loose trousers, one saw
breast-plate, loin guard and pelisse
And here were faces curiously still
under the curved ear pieces, and here
were bodies sheafed tn plumage and

Yet this was not enough. For to
the roll of kettle-drums, the swirl of
fifes behind quartian, dr- ,oon and
reiter came the hussar, mounted and
pennoned lance at rest These men
6at their heavy horses, their lances
made a forest, and from their shoul
ders rose the famous “wings.” Suffi
ciently splendid in themselves, they
had added this last touch of splendor.
From their shoulders, as In the re
liefs of ancient Egypt, rose great
wings—the rustling of them filled the
'heater. Might and terror were In
carnate in these warriors. What foe
could stand before the awful sibllance
of their onrush, this apparition of
something inconceivably monstrous,
yet Inconceivably superb?
War had fired this people to new

the Pole dared to attempt tnem m nis

Over this army floated Poland eagle,
white upon its blood-red ground. A
bishop raised the sacred relics and the
cross and gave his blessing. Plainly,
without music, the front ranks kneel
ing, the mounted men behind, rose a
solemn chant of male voices. It was
the hymn made for Sobieskl's legions
when they marched out to Vienna.—

PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Men of Intellect and Renown Join la
Testimony to the Value of
Jollity la Life.
The value of a good-natured laugb
may be rated low by some people:
but many writers have attested Its
worth In no measured terms.
It Is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, “A laugh is
worth a hundred groans in any mar
ket;" but from the lips of the somber
Carlyle tine is scarcely prepared to
hear, "No man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad.”
It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, “What was talked of as
the golden chain of Jove was nothing
more than a succession of laughs, o
chromatic scale of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus.”
”1 am persuaded,” wrote I^aurence
Sterne, "that every time a man smiles
but much more so when he laughs—It
adds something to his fragment ol
life.”
Last of all may be cited the verdict
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, given with
his own Inimitable humor, "The rfc>*
out tumult of a laugh, I take it. Is the
mob law of the feature*, and Pro
prlety the magistrate who reads the
riot act.”—The Sunday Magazine.

Literal Truth.
A London story illuminates the ca
reer of Horace Hamfat, an actor.
Rich today, he was poor and a failure
up to the age of forty. His life, up to
that age, passed in the provinces on
two or three quid a week. One Sat
urday in Manchester Horace Hamfat’s
show went up, the manager fled, and
Horace for fhree days lived on bread
and dripping. Then a letter came to
him from a London admirer, inclosing
ten pounds. The admirer forwarded
also an item from a theatrical page
that Horace Hamfat himself had writ
ten—"Horace Hamfat is starring in
Manchester.” But the typesetter had
made this item read, truly enough:
"Horace Hamfat is starving in Man
eh&ster!”

Noise of battle has always been con

of a gunpowder weapon Is measured
by its killing capacity. Tho more
noise It makes the fewer it kills Tho

Is deprived of much of its usefulness
because of the tremendous noise of

DANGEROUS ONLY IN PANIC
Hippopotami Will Not Attack Man
Unless Impelled by Unreason
ing and Blind Fear.
The hippopotamus which attacked
Sir John Kirk and Livingstone was.
no doubt, a "bach lor." Speaking of
the hippopotami of the Chobe, Liv
ingstone says that, "as certain elder
ly males are expelled from the herd,
they become soured In their temper,
and so misanthropic as to attack
every canoe that comes near them.
The herd is never dangerous except
when a canoe passes into the midst
of it when all are asleep, and some of
them may strike the canoe In terror.
As a rule, these animals flee the ap
proach of man. The "solitaires," how
ever, frequent, certain localities well
known to the inhabitants on the
banks, and, like the rogue elephants,
are extremely dangerous." Living
stone learnt that, when attacked by
one, you should dive to the bottom
and keep there a few seconds, since
the hippo soon moves off if he finds
nobody on the surface.
Odd Greek Superstition.
The belief, illustrated In the ballad
of The Bridge of Arta, that a human
victim is required to Insure the sta
bility of a bridge or building survive*
In Greece today, J. A. Lawson say*.
There Is no murder now. It sufflces
to obtain, preferably from an enemy
or an old person, a hair, nail partng,
shred of clothing, old shoe or a thread
or stick marked with the person's
height or footprint measure, and bury
these beneath the foundation stone.
The victim dies within a year, but
the building Is safe.
Even a shadow will do. Mr. Law
son was himself dragged back by a
friend In Santorini so that his shadow
might not fall across such a fatal
spot; and the mayor of Agrinian told
him that his four predecessors had
ail died from letting their shadows
fall on foundation stones laid by
them.
Gentle Reprimand.
Ah a young woman attired In a neat
blue suit entered a street car a man
his head buried in a newspaper, arose
and offered his seat. With a cu-'t nod
the young woman accented, and as
soon as she had composed herself she
became interested in the contents of
her shopping bag. In spite of his ap
parent abstraction, the man with the
newspaper watched her for a moment.
Then, speaking hurriedly, he said:
"I beg your pardon, what is It—
what did you say?”
The young woman lifted her eyes,
and, seeing that she was addressed,
answered coolly: “I said nothing,
elr.”
“Beg pardon, beg pardon,” was the
absent-minded answer. "I thought you
said ‘Thank you.'“—Milwaukee Free
Press.
Life Under Pressure.
The bed of the Arctic seas is very
fine and plastic, while in the other
tones of the Atlantic the bed is cover
ed with reddish mud and an accumu
lation of the remains of animals that
lived in the surface waters, died and
slowly sank.
The pressure of these increases
about one atmosphere to nearly even
33 feet, so every additional 330 feet
adds the pressure of ten atmospheres
When deep-sea fl3hes are brought to
the surface they lose their scales, their
teguments become brittle, and they
1 are so inflated by internal distension
caused by the lessened pressure tha.'
I In many cases they burst asunder.
