Tfee Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, January 13, 1904. A Kentucky Heroine. She Got Her Hero Out of the Army and Carried Him. Mawn Telegraph. A recent Washington dispatch ; contains the brief outline of one of the prettiest love stories of real life that has come to our notice in some time. The two principals are young Kentuckians of good family. The man wanted to be a soldier, and as he failed to get a commission^ he enlisted anyhow, hoping to rise from the ranks. But there was not much fighting and iitiie chance for distinction, and after a fair trial of the dull routine as a common soldier in barracks, he saw that he had made a mistake and decided to come home, choose a more attractive and profitable career, and marry the girl he loved. But owing to the difficulty of inducing young men to go to the Philippines and the increasing number of desertions from the army, bis application for discharge was refused as is the almost invariable rule for the reasons stated. Here the girl in the case made herself felt. She boldly announced her determination to go to the Philipines, marry pher , eoldier and share with him the hardships of his life there. Being of age and a girl of her word, this caused consternation among the members of her family. The rest of the story is thus told : "Her father, in a panic, wrote to Senator McCreary, stating the case, assuring the Senator that be could not control his daughter and saying that the rash determination must be thwarted at any cost. The senator posted to the war department as * soon as he got the letter, and laid the matter before Secretary Root. The secretary deliberated for a while and called in Gen. Young and they read the letter together. "We're not granting dischargee," said/the secretary, slowly, "but this seems to be a case where we can't help it." 14 'And it is a case of such urgency that it demands the use of the cable instead of the mails,' said Gen. Young. 'This young woman seems very determined. She might not wait.' "Whereupon the cablegram was eent, and at the same time Senator McCrearv telegraphed his friend in Kentucky that the daughter need not go." A girl who is ready to leave luxuries behind and go to the Philippines to share the lot of a common soldier is a girl really in love?than which there is nothing sweeter in all this world of selfishness and greed. There is so much marrying for money, position and fear of hardships, that the story of this Kentucky heroine is inspiring. We hope her released soldier is worthy of her and that they will soon achieve their heart's desire and be "happy ever after." Saved From Terrible Death. The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of BirgertoD, Tenn, saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The ' most skillful physicians and every remedy used, but failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In this terrible hour Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption turned despair into joy. The first bottle brought immediate relief and its continued use completely cured her. It's the most certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed. Bottles 50o and $1 00 Trial Bottles Free at The Kaufrnann Drug Co. A Special Session Over a Bug. A little bug almost too email for individual notice is faking up the time of several great Btates, aod has even caused the Louisiana legislature to be called into a special session, eays the Baltimore Sun. This little boll weevil seems a very email matter to the people cf the country at large, but to cotton growers its coming is fraught with prodigious evil. For years it has been the boast of T< i is that she could raise cotton J I enough to supply the world, and she did appear to be satieGt-d with raising about a third of all the American staple. Bat '-his little weevil crawled across the border from Mexico and has swept the cotton fields like a pestilence. Each year the domain of the weevel is spreading, and its kind is multiplying by billions. No ifiective means has yet been found to check the spread of the psst and the entire cotton belt is alarmed. The Louisiana special commission has recommended to the legislature that a non-cotton growing belt be created between that State aod Tex*?, by which it is expected to starve out the weevil and stay its further progress northward. Already the loss by this insect is probably ?25,000,000 acd experts of the National and State governments are doiDg everything in their power to devise some means to check this Texas terror. Congratulations. Mr. John H. Cullion, Editor of the Garland, Texas, News, has written a J letter of congratulations to themanu- 1 facturers of Chamberlain's Cough | Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby J he was subject to croupy spells and ! we would be very uneasy abouti him. | We began tiding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without it in the house since that time. We have five children and have given it to^lill of i them with good results. One good i feature cf this remedy is that it is ; not disagreeable to take aDd our babies really like it. Another is that | it is not dangerous, and there is no j risk from giving an overdose. I con- | gratulate you upon the success of your remedy.'' For sale by The ; Kaufmann Drug Co.

Cured After Suffering 10 Years. B. F. Hare, Supfc. Miami Cycle & Mfg. Co,. Middletown, 0., suffered for ten years with dyspepsia. He spent hundreds of dollars for medicine and with doctors without receiving any permanent benefit. He says "One night while feeling exceptionally bad I was about to throw down the evening paper when I saw an item in the paper regarding the merits of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I concluded to try it and while I had no faith in it I felt better after the second dose. After using two bottles I am stronger and better than I have been in years, and I recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to my frieDda and acquaintances suffering from stomach trouble."

Cured Lumbago. A. B. Canman, Cnicago, writes March -4, 1903: "Having been troubled with Lumbago at different times and tried one physician after another; then different ointments and linaments, gave it up altogether. So I tried once more, and got a bottle of Ballard's Snow Linament, which gave me almost instant relief. I can cheerfully recommend it, and will add my name to your list of former suffers.' 25c, 50c and $1.00 Sold by The Kaufmann Drug C;. man i a??aa??a?tg?icmbbp Mr. Fox's Toilst. i Reader Magazine. j * J !
