ills are invited to communicate

Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
Your letter will be opened, read and
answered by a woman and held in strict
confidence. A woman can freely talk of
her private illness to a woman; thus has
been established a confidential correspondence
which h a 8 extended over
many years and which has never been
broken. Never have they published a
testimonial or used a letter without the
written consent of the writer, and never
has the Company allowed these confidential
letters to get out of their possersion,
as the hundreds of thousands of them ia
their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience
' vhich they have to draw from, it is more
than possible that they poacws the very
knowledge needed in your ease. Nothing
is asked in return except year feed

Better Price Promised
For The Cotton Crop.
The State.
E. W. Dabbs, president of the South
Carolina State Farmers' union ha9 issued
a statement to the members in
which he says with the proper cooperation
that 15 cents per pound will be
secured for two-thirds of the present
cotton crop.
"Never before that I can recall,"
says President Dabbs," have we had
better prospects of good prices for cotton.
Sixty days ago cotton sold at
IS 1-2 cents per pound at interior
points. All of a sudden 'without
rhyme or reason,> the market broke
and it continued to go down until 10
1-2 cents was reached in the local markets.
Not having the desired effect o
stampeding the farmers like it has in
the past, we see it steadily going up.
Each day the 'wiseacres' say it will
break tomorrow. Each day they say
Liverpool should come down six or
seven points. Each day sees the report
that Manchester continues to buy
at higher prices than can be paid on
this side. What does it all mean?

[Copyright, 1812, by Associated Literary

IT was hot. Bowser mopped ana
perspired and wriggled about as
they sat on the front steps. Finally
be broke out with:
"1 don't know why in blazes we are
squatted here instead of being at the
seashore or mountains!"
"Yea forget, my dear." replied Mrs.
Bowser, "you decided early in May
that yoa could not leave your business
thin year."
"But we night have run out to some
farmhouse for a week."
"Tea, bat yea showed me figures to
prove that It was just about as hot out
in the oouatry on a hot day as it was
in the olty."
"The sane old brick and mortar." he
said as he looked up and down the
street, "the same hot streets by day.

nature in a city. Everything is artificial,
even to the trees and grass. If I

songs."
could get out somewhere and commune
with nature for three or four hours it
would seem more like living."
"But you can surely take a day off."
Mr. Bowser reflected for awhile and
then suddenly exclaimed:
"By the horn spoon, but why haven't
I thought of it before?"
"Taking a day off?"
"No; taking a night off. During the
day one is full of business and doesn't
notice it so much, but when night
comes one longs for the peace and
quietness of the country. I have seen
nights in summer when I'd have given
$3 to hear the voice of a tree toad."
"Do you mean that you'd like to go
out and stay at some farmhouse overnight?"
asked Mrs. Bowser.
"Farmhouse be hanged! I mean that
I'd like to get beyond the sight and
'sounds of the city and pass the night
under a tree. That would be getting
close to nature. One could think and
ponder and reflect. The soft rustle of
the leaves, the chirping of the crickets,
the low call of the uight birds?all
these things would touch a responsive
chord in a man's soul. Say, I'm going
to try it on this very night."
"You are so easy to take cold in your
head, you know."
"Never had a cold in mv head in mv
life, and 3*011 know it It will be useless
for you to raise any objections."
"I don't want to. If you want to go
but and commune with nature I don't
see why you shouldn't What time
will you return?"
"Not till sunrise, anyhow. Think
you'll be afraid to stay alone?"
"Not at all. You had better take
your revolver along. All is peace and
love out in the country, but a pistol
is a good thing sometimes."
"I want no weapons. Nature had
nothing to do with the making of
deadly weapons. I'll take along a half
dozen cigars, and while you are sweltering
here and being kept awake by
whoops, screams and yells I'll be whispering
with nature under the stars."
Mr. Bowser Starts.
An hour later Mr. Bowser started.
He took a suburban street car and
rode four miles beyond the brick and
mortar, and after walking along a
country highway for forty rods be
found a tree and sat down to begin the
business of communing. It was a
moonlight night, and the feeling was
one of peace on earth and good will to
men. He had brought along pencil and
paper, and as he sat with his back to
the tree he wrote:
"This is something like it. I am beyond
the rush and roar and wickedness
of the city, and the change is
wonderful. Just now I wouldn't strike
a man if he called me a liar.
"The crickets are singing their cheery
songs. They seem to realize what I
am out here for, and they welcome me.
I don't know whether crickets have
souls or not. but I feel in consonance j
with them.
"Have just heard a tree toad. First I
I've hoard in twenty years, and the :
sounds carry me back to other days. I
The song of the tree toad is an inno- '

The a bar? Hae represents a break is
Mr. Bowser's note*, caused by two i
farmers who came along in a wagon. ,
When they saw him sitting under a
tree with his hat on and a cigar in his 1
mouth the team was stopped, and one i
of them called out: (
"You feller there, but what are you
doing?' '
"What Is that to you?" demanded Mr I
Bowser as the song of the tree toad ,
was forgotten in an instant.
Constable Butts in.
'Til show you what it is to me! I'm 1
a constable, and it's my business to l
keep an eye out for such fellers as you. ,
Looking for a chance to rob some henroost,
I s'pose?"
"You can s'pose any blamed thing I
you want to." .
"Mighty sassy, ain't you? Waal, I'll
be back in about an hour, and if you
are here 111 make it hot for you!"
For the next fifteen minutes Mr
Bowser was so mad that he paid no (
attention to tree toads, crickets or rus- 3
tling leaves, but he finally began to *
cool off and wrote:
"I have just beard the song of a
whippoorwill. and it was not mixed
up with the notes of a hand organ or
the yells of a street peddler. Mrs. Bow
sor will be sorry she didn't come.
"The lowing of the kine reaches my

iow at night for. but the sounds are
those of pastoral peace. I am an as*
that I haven't spent every night thly
summer out here.

Tramps Intorrupt.
This break in Mr. Bowser's notes was
occasioned by two tramps who wore
"hoofing" it into town, but stopped
when thej* saw him under the tree.
"Hello, cully! What's doin'?" asked
one.
"You go on!" shoutec! Mr. Bowser as
he identified them for what they were.
"Eh, cully, what's de matter wid
you?" was queried as they both drew
nearer. "Say. Jim, de old baldhead is
on to something good and don't want
to let us In on de ground floor."
"By thunder, but didn't I tell you to

scrambled up.

Alas for the tree toads and whip- .

sailed in. The tramps expected to
pick a fuss with him and win an easy
victory, but never were men more mistaken.
He had them licked and on the
run within Ave minutes. They mussed
him up some in return, but he sat down
and lighted another cigar, and if he
had been given half an hour to get
over it the songs of the birds and insects
might have appealed to his heart
again. Only about ten minutes had
gone by when the constable returned
