The Marked Tree Gazette has
a new plan for settling our legis
lative, or rather our legislator,
difficulties. It says:
“The only way to get a good
legislator that will be of some
real benefit to the state is to lim
it the session to 30 days and pay
the man $25 a day. Good talent
ed men, able to pass state laws
of value, cannot afford to give
their time for $6 per and pay
their own expenses, therefore
they do not offer for the legisla
ture. Raise the salary, cut the
time liijiit, and new seed will at
once spring into prominence.”

NEAR DEATH
BY SMOTHERING
But Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol
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 1 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
has been, and never will be, a medicine
io compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is
a 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.

The "Sentence Cap.”
JL small, limp piece of black doth
Is, according to ancient custom, put cm
the top of the Judge’s wig In England
before he passes sentence of death,
and Is properly called the "sentence
cap” or "black cap.” Covering the
head was a sign of mourning among
the Israelites, Greeks, Romans and
Anglo-Saxons, and Is referred to In
Samuel 11, 15-30. Putting on the black
cap Is not a grim sign of revenge ol
the law, but Is rather a token of sor
row, expressing the regret'Hhe Judge
(Sals at having to condemn the prl»
oner to death.
Wearing of the Hood.
- hi England the hood was not final
ly given up until the early part of
fifteenth century. The "great velvet
hat furred” worn by the mayor of Lon
don, John Welles, In 1432, Is cited as
a singularity by Stow, who states that
previously “the coverture of men’s
heads was hoods, for neither cap op
hat Is spoken of.” In point of fact
there are a few earlier instances of
hats being worn by nobles and evsn
the middle cdassea
Calling Down the Nurse.
Little Frank’s nurse, when finding
him in mischief was In th-a habit of
exclaiming: “What in the name of
common sense are you doing?” One
morning, while she was bathing him,
he asked: “What In the name of cop
per cents do you mean by getting soap
In my ayes?”
What the Eyebrows Tell Us.
There is more character In the ey»
brows than one would suppose. If
they are very much arched, they de
note a weak, changeable nature. Eye
brows that meet signify bad tempei
and a jealous disposition; but, M
if there is a good wide space between
them, their owner Is probably very un
selfish and good tempered. If they
are darker than the hair, their own
er will be passionate but Inconsist
ent In love; If lighter, they reveal a
weak disposition.
Safety in Friendship.
An intimate friendship is at once
i safeguard in recreation and social
mjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
ore he plunges into surroundings
vhlch he knows his best friend would
sondemn. It is a stimulus, because
n work or business, or even play, a
nan does not willingly lag behind
rhlle the friend is forging ahead. In
ommon endeavors for good causes,
eligious or social or political, friend
hip Is a powerful Inducement to self
orgettlng activity.
