IPORKED LONG FOR SUCCES9
Mr*. Btannard Wrote Steadily for
Yea re Before “Bootle's Baby**
Made He HR.
ft Is Interesting to recall Just now
fb«t the late Mrs. Btannard, other
wtee “John Strange Winter," once de
parted herself aa a woman writer but
aot a "woman’s rlghter." Yet there
waa certainly no lack of character flt
Brain power about the author ol
^Bootle’s Baby," who was Indeed an
eminently capable woman with a
clear, well balanced Intellect, much
robust common sense, and a great ca*
?EcIfy for organization, which aorved j
er tn good stead when she turned
groin literature to commerce.
Struggling authors may he Interest
ad to know that H was only after ten
years of Incessant work that Mra
Btannard, who lived to write some
thing like one hundred books, scored
ier first refit success. And even thU
might not have been achieved but
tor a little piece of luck, for “Bootle's
Baby,” the work in question, had thee
been rejected by s'x T.ondon publish*
«rs and cast aside as hopeless. Mrs.
Btannard'* husband, however, hajg
pened to pick up the manuscript one
day, read It, liked It, and suggested
that be should send It to the Graphic,
lira. Btannard answered: ‘Send II
Bnywhere you like," and no one was
more astonished than herselt when In
due course the Graphic took it.—«

Lover's Unique Devotion.
An unusual manner tn whloh I
lover’s devqt|qn woe afiown occurred
at Zurich, Switrerland, recently. A
nobbier, whose sweetheart died, ap
prentlced hUnself to a stone-cutter in
order to execute a fitting tribute to
her memory, and after fourtees
months he was able to carve a beau
tlful rose on a marblo Blab and Writ*
beneath: "Such was She.” After It
had been erected over her grave h«
returned to hla first trade, and now
repairs shoes as before.
Muddled.
Tbo lecturer nrose and said Im
pressively “Every time I soo a young
man coming out of a saloon. I want
to go right, up to that young man and
say, ‘Turn right around, young man;
you're going the wrong way.’"—New
York Mail.
Swatting Back.
Mrs hliram Often “I’m afraid you
won’t do. As nearly as ! can find out,
you have worked in six or seven
places during the past year.” Miss
Brady—"Well, an' how manny girls
has herself had in the same toime?
No less. I'm thUikta ' ”

“IN A BAD WAY”

Feel Grateful for This In

If your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or ach
ing;
If urinary troubles set in,
Perhaps your kidneys are “in
a bad way.”
Don’t delay—Use Doan’s Kid
ney Pills.
Here is good evidence of their
worth:
Mrs. Susan A. Alexander, of
Main street, Batesville, Ark.,
says: “I suffered from a dull
ache in the small of my back
and had dizzy spells and blurr
ing of my sight. I always felt
tired and languid and could
'hardly get up in the morning.
Doan’s Kidney Pills rid me of
the trouble soon after I began
using them- I advise a trial of
this remedy in all cases of kid
ney complaint. My former en
dorsement of Doan’s Kidney
Pills still holds good. I think
just as highly of them today as
ever.”

Discovered Rare Disease.
During the eighteenth century Dr.
P.-rc’val Pott of London, who was one
of the beat known physicians in that
period, discovered the disease of the
spine which he called “vertebral ca
rles," or decay of the backbone. The
treatment ultimately prescribed was
plenty of pure food, sunlight, fresh
nir and sleeping outdoors all of the
timu.
Had Stood Hard Test.
“I understand that you once sang in
a glee club.” “Yes,” replied the great
politician. “And I want, to tell you
when a man with a voice like mine
can hold a position in a glee club
it shows that he is some officeholder ”
—lx)S Angeles Listener.
Sizing Him Up.
When you call the average young
man honest he Is likely to feel a mild
sort of gratification. When you cal’,
him competent his chest begins te
uilge. When you call him a heart
iroaker he slaps you on the shouldei
nd gives you to understand that he
onsldors you a person of remarkable
erceptlo" ’ ’~ment.
Humility First
We shall never be the “light of the
world" except on condition of being
the “salt of the earth.” You have to
do the humble, Inconspicuous, silent
work of checking corruption by a pure
example before you can aspire to do
the other work of raying out light Into
the darkness, and so drawing men to
Christ himself.—Alexander McLaren.

Convincing Evidence of the Fertility

Fair This Yaar Will Ba Blggar

Attandanaa Cartaln.
Memphis, Tenn.—Preparations
of the greatest fair in the history
of the Tri-State# are being rushed
to completion.
The fair open# September 22
and will continue until September
27, inclusive.
The splendid ground* and pretty ]
building# are undergoing a com
plete overhauling. The fair of
ficials have put a veritable army
of carpenters, painters, and dec
orators to work and every detail,
no matter how small, will be
ready wherj the gates of the great
agricultural and industrial ex
hibit swing open.

* Oife of the most interesting
features of the fair this year will
he the demonstration farm. This
plot of ground is so located that
it is ms easy of access as the pike
or any of the larger exhibit halls.
Frank Fuller, secretary of the
Fair Association, with the assist
ance of government experts, has
made this plot of ground sprout
aud bloom until it threatens to
become the wonder of the terri
tory. He has planted almost ev
erything imaginable upon it and
Is succeeding beyond all expecta
tions in proving his claim that the
South is the most fertile territory
in the nation.
Mr. Fuller has had particularly
striking success with his corn.
While the other crops have more
than done themselves proud, he Is
jubilant over his corn production.
Two pretty specimens from the
demonstration farm are shown
here. They are extreme types and
are typioal of the work 'being done
at the farm.
The stalk on the left was plant
ed May 17. It is 7 feet 9 inches
tall, and the stalk itself is 3Vfe
inches in circumference one foot
from the ground. The first ear is
3 feet 6 inches up and the type is
t h a 1 ./joinimr
'The stalk on the right was
planted May 1 and is 12 feet 3
inches high and 5lo inches in. cir
cumference, and the first ear is 6
feet 4 inches from the ground. The
type is the Huffmanr
Roth of these stalks received the
same cultivation and both are the
average. Thtj ears on the Learn
ing are practically mature, while
it will take at least there weeks
longer for the Huffman to reach
maturity.
Mr. Fuller is working out nu
merous agricultural problems of
this sort, and a visit to the fair
without inspecting the demonstra
tion farm would he like going to
Niagara and overlooking the
Falls.
The orchard is one of the best place*
on the farm for poultry. The insects
that abound there provide egg-forming
food, and the earing of them is good for
the hens and for the orchard.
Spraying the cows with a fly repellent
is a bit of trouble and not a too pleas
ant job. but it makes the cow* comfort
able and adds t-o the milk flow.
A work horse should always He turned
into go . p..»iure whenever possible. If,
there .ire no pasture* turn her into a
vacant lot.

A Nervous Woman FincU
Relief After Many Year*
Women who sutler irom extreme
nervousness, often endure much
suffering before finding any relief.
Mrs. Daniel Kintner, of Defiance,
O., had such an experience, regard
ing which she says:
"1 had stomach
trouble when I was
eighteen years old
that broke down
n>.y health, and for
years I suffered
with nervousness,
headache, indiges
tion and nervous
spasms. The
spa -ns got sa bad
I would have them
three or four times
a week. After try
ing nearly every
remedy recom
mended. I began
taking Dr. Miles’
Nervine, and I must say It helped ms
wonderfully. I have had no severe nerv- ,
ousness for several years.”
MRS. DAN KINTNBR.
1002 Pleasant St.. Defiance, O. j
Many remedies are recommended !
for diseases of the nervous system j
•.hat fail to produce results because j
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. Dr. Miles’ Nervine fas |
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
■who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

Naturally Frightened.
Decayed and fungoid wood is also
“fox fire." On one occasion some ol
this was used for a camp fire, and
many of the broken fragments were
scattered over the ground where the
men were sleeping. The fire died out
during the night and one of the party
awoke, and in his fright woke the
rest, who were equally terrified, be
lieving that they were lying among
live coala.
