We believe that it was John Howard
Payne who wrote that sweetest of all
jtoems, Home, Sweet Home, and with
a heart full of love?love for home and
native town?we can truly exclaim:
"Mid pleasures and palaces ythough
we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no
K place like home."
After an absence of three weeks, we
are back at our post again. If is needless
for ns to say that it was :v3 of
the most pleasant trips of our lii'e, and
one that we shall ever hold to memory
dear.
/. When we left but few of our friends
knew of oar mission, or what it all
meant; and it is aseless for us to
speak of that now. We just merely
want to make mention of the most
li- -cordial treatment we received and of
the generous hospitality shown us.
f: ' We spCnt a few days in Washington,
where we viewed the different buildj;ings
and "took in" all of the places
jV v of general interest, including Mount
Yernon. Here we were cordially welcomed.
It was our pleasure to have a
call from the Hon. Asbury F. Lever,
the popular representative of the Sevv';
' enth Congressional district and his
good lady. After remaining in Washington
for four days, with Mr. Croggan
and daughters, we went to Alexandria.
Ya.. to visit Mr. Harry Griffith
And family, friends of Mrs. Harman,
where we were royally entertained
and heartily received.
From Alexandria we went to Baltimore
to visit more of onr new friends
and relatives, and fo meet old acquaintances.
Words ar i inadequate to express
our true appreciation of the
cordial greeting we receu ed on every
hand., Suffice to say, that we have
never been among more hospitable
people, Trnly the people of Baltimore
know how to treat fel.e stranger within
tiheir gates. Among those to whom
we are indebted for. kindness shown
are: Mr and Mrs. Robt. Warner; Mr,
and Mrs. SpeyBr.dley; Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Owings D-y; Mr. and Mrs. W..
E. Grlascock; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. 0.
Glascock; Mj. and Mrs. Robert L.
Dowden; Mrs. J. Willis Kincaid; Mrs.
, Hannah Stanton; Mrs. Ooralie Day;
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Warfield; Mrs.
Margaret Emory; Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
\ Marshal; Mrs. Frank 'Easter and
family; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lang;
Misses Spelshouse; Mr. ? Sanders
and sisters.
Baltimore is one of the leading i
wholesale cities in the country. It is
-a centre for all of the Southern trade,
and many of our own people bay their
vgocds annually from Baltimore jobbing
houses. The advantages are great,
and there is no better market in the
"world. We visited the Baltimore
Bargain House, from which concern
we have bought many a bill of goods.
This is one of the largest wholesale
houses in the United States, its imI
. mense trade reaching around the
world, handling as they do, from a pin
to an auto touring car. We also visited
fhe old and well known firm of
Chas. Pracht & Co., the popular house
of Clark & Jones, the leading candy
manufacturers in the city. Koch &
Gq<, wholesale toy houses.
TTLere is but one criticism we have

; surprise, 8nd oft' times indignation,
-we saw dirty negroes riding on street
- cars occupying comfortable seats by
the side of well dressed white women
: -and too at times while young white
" women had to stand up. So much we
suppose, for the 14th and 15th amendments
to the U. S. Constitution. We
- X)l the South are not accustomed to
this raodeof living, and certainly we
could neter toJerate such conditions.
If there is airy place in the country
where a "Jim-Crow" law is needed,
' that place is Baltimore. G. M. H.
Why Not Advertise?

the attention that an advertisement
in a newspaper would, therefore, it
is false economy, for the sale of whatever
article it may be would have
more notice and bring much more at
such sales.

What Kind Of A Girl !
Do You Like Best? j
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Backward, turn backward, 0, Time, j
in your flight and give us a maiden j
dressed proper and right. We are so
weary of switches and rats, of Billie
Burke clusters and peach-basket hats;
wads of excelsior heaped in a pile,
and stacked on their heads to the
height of a mile. Something is wrong
with the maidens, we fear. Give us
the girls as they used to appear. Give
us the girls we once knew of yore,
whose curls didn't come from a hairdressing
store; maidens who dressed
with a sensible view, and just as Dame
Nature intended them to. Give us a
girl with a figure her own and fashioned
divinely by Nature alone. Feminine
styles getting fiercer each year?
oh give us the girls as they used to ap
/rr v -
pear.?Wellington ^as./ x>ew&.
Give us a girl with round cheeks like
a rose; give us a girl with an uptilted
nose; gi\ e us a girlie on common sense
heels, on i with a head that is not full
of wheels; one that can romp and can
paw up the dirt; one without Gobbles
on mind or on skirt; one that can build j
a shortcake like a dream; one whose i
complexion stands water or steam;!
one who can fasten herself to a broom !
and laugh as she steers the old thing ]
'round the room; one whom no flat-!
tery eyer can hudge, and one who
knows something besides making
fudge.?Houston Post.
Give them the girl they want?we
do not care. Dress her in hoops with
a horrible flare. Make her look foolish
with old-fashioned things?a sort
of stuffed angel, developing wing9.
Put her in corkscrews, with rings in
he.' ears, and make her look double or
treble her years. Make her a grandma
when she is a miss, and have her I
look useless to hug and to kiss. Give
us the girl you can't tell from a boy? j
the kind of a girl that the world can
enjoy. Give us the girl who can drive
a machine, dress like her brother and
liven the scene. Give us the girl who
is quick on her feet, and will push an
old grandfather into her seat; one
with a gentleman's collar and coat,
who speaks in four languages, clamors
to vote, reads Bernard Shaw and is
smart as a whip, and is thin in the
middle and straight at the hip. A fig
for the proviccial mind. We do not!
want any of that sort at all. Give us !
a woman in step with her day, who |
ha3put the old Puritan business away;
one who is lively and learned and i
sweet, and a lady withal from her
head to her feet; a woman to sigh for,
to die for to love; a woman who's
made of what men are made of. A
flg for Priscilla, who did very well
when the country was young and a
yision of hell was a very good thing
for the provincial mind. Give us the
Twentieth Century kind, nor think to
discomfit us coming around with the
virtues of Mrs. Prometheus bound.
Give us a club woman, loaded with
J brains; or giye us a suffragist, smash- j
ing the panes; give us a girl who exhibits
her worth?the r?ew kind?the
ne w kind?the hope of the earth!
Give ns a rest, we're tired of girls,
Straight fronts and hobbles, rats, puffs
and curls.
Those who are howling for maidens
of worth
Couldn't catch one if alone on the
earth.

"My husband, children and myself

keep them in the house in case of
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and Dr. Hartman's inI
valuable advice and books. People ask
about me from different places, and are
surprised that I can do all of my housework
alone, and that I was cured by the
doctor of chronic catarrh. My husband
was cured of asthma, my daughter of
earache and catarrh of the stomach, and
my son of catarrh of the throat. When
I was sick I weighed 100 pounds; now I
