Out of order or unstrung, there is discordance and unhappiness. J ust as there is one key note to all music so there is one key note to health, A woman might as well try to fly without wings as to feel well and look well while the organs that make her a woman are weak or diseased. She must be healthy inside or she can't be healthy outside. There are thousands of women suffering silently all over the country. Mistaken modesty urges their silence. While there is noihing more admirable than a modest woman, health is of the first importance. Every other consideration should give way before it.

Glancing out through the window I see the trees just outside, whose branches we cut to let in air and sun, and It! the branches are there again, bigger ( than ever, shadier than ever. Twoyear:-! How fast they speed! ( Through eternal summer the days ( pass, and unnoticed weeks turn into , months?months into years. I In the pretty suburban town of Marianao, in the beautiful 4'Palacio 1 Duranona," General Lee has his j headquarters. Now, with his removal i to the department of Missouri, the i Stars and Stripes may soon cease i floating over the Spanish planter's . mansion. But we will certainly often think back to. those days when the mur>ic played in front, while lovely women and glittering officers gathered on the porch, and the motley , crowd of gsy-dressed senoritas and khaki-clad soldiers were sitting, walk- < ing and flirting to the stains of the ( cavalry band. ( Yes, Marianao is a pretay little ( place with its small, whitewashed stone bouses, all with heavy porticos in front; its shady streets. The rat-^ j tling "guagua" (bus*) coming down , Real street, crowded to that degree ( it seems a wonder those two small f mules have pulled such a load the six ] miles fram Havana. Opposite the police station a cir- ] cus has rai ed its tents. And it gets dark; the performance does not begin ere half-past eight. Then the natives come in crowd*; they have always a j spare two peseta pieces for the cir- t Alia WKof hoi? (sap thpv hftVA sppn I < VUr? ? ?

"Well, the circus is all they have got left. Uncle Sam stopped tbe bull fights, even the cock fights?why and wherefore?nay, that is semething you could Dot make a native understand. Across the railroad tract on ti e top of the hill lies Columbia barracks, prim, nice aDd clean kept. In the middle of the parade ground, on an eDormousfhg stbff, the Stars and Stripes float from sunrise to sun down. The clear cut notes of a bugle Eounds far away, while dark against the sky, silhouttes of horsemen, with pennats sflying, bhow our soldier boys drilling in squads and batallions, and high above everything the restlese, burning tropical sun. Marianao is a sort af milestone on the old Spanish highway that runs from Havana and out the province of j Ptna del Rio.

And then orange grove3, where golden fruit glitter among the \ leaves, while further on come tbe bananas and platios with their big, shield like leaves. Oot again in the sun stretch endless pineapple plantations down to where the land gets flat, and smokestacks rise over waving green cane fields. Black, burnt timber protrudes through heaps of brick and dirt; window shutters hang by one binge, swaying to and fro in the breeze. The floor is torn up, only a lonely prism from the big chandelier sparkles in the sunshioe. First came the Insurgents, and whit they left Weyler's soldiers got away with. Farther out along the road you enter the vuelto abayo, where the famous tobacco is grown, and nothing but the fragrant weed is seen. Yours truly, F. Drafts. $100 Reward $100.

John Templeton Graves in Atlanta Newg. I make bold to differ with the current Democratic estimate of the Democratic defeat in the battle of ballots. i I think that the ghost of free silver struck less terror to the soul of ^ suffrage than the living issue of giv- , ing up wh?t our arms and blood have won in the Pacific seas. I believe that the result of the election was an expansion victory, 1 and solidifies my conviction that the ' sentiment of this country is overwhelmingly for expansion. . Silver in this campaign was a 1 shadowy ghost that revisited the political battlefield only during the pale * glimpses of the moon. It bad no | terrors and it scared do votes. The vital, breathing, present issue ^ ?the paramount issue if you will? ^ was the commerce of China and the * Pacific ocean, aDd the trade winds blew the ballots in a storm towards ( the party that stood for these colossal facts. ^ This is a-commercial age?raore's the pity. The dominant thought of the world is trade and accumulation. Moral ideas make scant headway against vast and commercial interests. 1 And when the moral ideas are chal- c lenged by the missionary fervor of * both liberty and religioD, and the commercial interests are patent and towering, the poll battle ought never to have been in doubt. It is easv to see this now as it is all over. It should have been clear before. 1 I do not think that the Republican majority, great as it was, fully illustrates the strength of the expansion sentiment. Thousands of expansionists?and I am 0D6 of them?followed the flag of Democracy for the issues that it carried which seemed greater and deeper than any commercial conBidertion. The normal Democratic majority in Georgia is about 65.000. The result on the morning after the election indicated about 40,000 m?j >rity. The 25,000 silent voters in my judgment, are expansionists. And behind these are abiut 25.000 other voters that would follow the flig to the Eist, if they could go without treason to Democracy. JL UCJir YO luat iuc buiuaiug uuuuu is for expansion. There is every material reason why it should be. No section of t he Republic has so great v a commercial stake in the trade of 5 the East. We have been war wasted ^ and poor. While the Eistern and ^ Middle State have r'.oted for half a t century in prosperity, we have tra- t vailed in the struggle for recupera- t tion from poverty and desolation. To our staple and material pro ducts the open markets of China and the Pacific islands make the iodus- ( trial light in the Eis*. They shine ' with golden promise to our farms 1 and factories and mines. i More than this. The establishment of our natiocal power and in SOODS COMPi dxt, Patronage. Polite and fiuence in these Pacific seas is the only poseible guarantee which the future holds for the completion of the Nicaraguan canal. The great enterprise has been for twenty years the Dlaythiner of lobbyists in the Houses fc V w of Congress. The Ameiican flag in the Philippines makes its completion imperative and sure. And when that imperial waterway links the two imperial oceans of the world, these Gulf and Southeastern S ates becomes the geographical cenfc?rof the world's commerce?with all the measureless impetus which that tremendous fact will give to her seaport cities and to her inland trade. What people, then, have so vast an interest in the 4,fl ig in the East," as we have, and if materialism be the god of this age, is it any wonder that votaries should follow in thousands where bis mercenary banner leadet Mark jou, I do not say that the S)uth is in favor of imperialism as Mr. Bryan defines it. There is no endorsement here of colonies of slaves and of pro-consuls eariched with spoils. All the instinct and traditions of Gowpens &Qd King's Moun^ ?AU, 1 At b . f 12SIUI1 nuu4 J icut* a v tuuv* But there was somehow the pervading hope that the McKinley policy, in its fuller evolution, would conserve all these Republican ideals, and the other hand, the pervading apprehension that Bryan in his strenuous zeal for liberty, might loose the substance wbile he bound the shadow. Since, then, the policy which wraps cur highest interest has won?without cooperation or consent?it is high Lime that the business South should speak its mind to those who represent it in the national legislature. We are free now from the immediate fealty to party which bound our tongues. Our political cause has been staked and lost. We are at lib arty to find ourselves among new conditions. The way of our material welfare is plain. Let us summon our public servants to help us 'work the road." Let us make haste ;o "make friends to ourselves of' the nammcn of unrighteousness that when we die ihey may receive us into ? I Lie everiuauug uauuamuFor Bryan andi bis great battle there is increasing love and admiration. No cause ia the republic has bad an abler or nobler leader than ibe cause and the man just fallen by the ballot. Time will vindicate the ;auee and the man who fought its rattles. Somewhere, somehow, at some time le will rise again. To me his worth is undiminished, lis prestige all unbroken. He is the last tribute of the comnon people, and is grander and learer in defeat than he would have >een in victory. [ Village Blacksmith Saved His Little Son's Life. i Mr. H. H. Black, the well-known tillage blacksmith at Grabamsville, Sullivan county., N. Y., say6: ''Our ' ittle son, five years old, has always } oeeQ subject to croup, and so bad lave the attacks been that we have eared many times that he would lie.
