( WORKING WOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—Interesting State ments by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. All women work: some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical ttws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb, leucorrhcea Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I suffered misery for several years with irregular menstruation. My back ached; I had bearing down pains, and frequent head aches; I could not sleep and could hardly drag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lydia E.

KB JEFFERIES, R. M. GAFFNEY, Secty. and Treas. President. Inconstant. (Contributed.) Inconstant! Oh. my God! Inconstant! When a single thought of thee Sends all my quivering blood Back on my heart, in thrills of * ecstasy! Inconstant! When to sleep And to dream thou art near me, is to learn So much of heaven I weep Because the earth and morning must return. Inconstant! Ah, too true! Turned from the rightful shelter of thy breast, My tired heart flutters through The changeful world—a bird with out a nest. Inconstant to the crowd Through which I pass, as to the skies above. The fickle summer cloud, But not to thee, ah, not to thee, dear love! I may he false to all On earth beside, and every tender tie , Which seems to hold in thrall This weary life of mine, may be a lie; But true its God’s own truth, My steadfast heart turns backward evermore To that sweet time of youth Whose golden tide heats such a barren shore! Inconstant! Not my own The hand which builds this w'all be tween our lives; On its cold shadow, grown To perfect shape, the flower of love survives. God knows that I would give All other joys, the sweetest and the best. For one short hour to live Close to thy heart, its comfort and its rest. But life is not. all dark: The sunlight gladdens many a hid den slope, Tne dove shall find its ark Of peaceful refuge and of patient hope. 1 yet shall be possessed Of woman’s meed—my small world set apart! Home, love, protection, rest, And children’s voices singing through my heart. By God’s help.

But sacred to this loss, One white, sweet chamber of my heart shall be; No foot shall ever cross The silent portal sealed to love and thee. \ml sometimes when my lips Are to my tirst-born’s clinging, close and long, Draining with bee-like sips At its sweet lily-heart, will it he wrong, if for an instant, wild With precious pain, I put the truth aside, \nd dream’ it is thy child I am fondling with such tender pride? And when another’s head Sleeps on thy heart, if it should ever seem To he my own, instead, Oh, darling, hold it closer for the dream! i •*> God will forgive the sin. y If sin it is. our lives are swept so dry, So cold, so passion clear— Thank Him death comes at last- arid so. good bye. CROP BULLETIN. Report of Condition of Crops Through out the State. Columbia. Sept. 20.—The week end ing Monday, September 25th, was one of extreme heat, with the weekly mean temperature about six degrees per day above normal. The tempera ture extremes were a maximum of 98 degrees at Batesburg and Black- ville on the 20th, and a minimum of 57 degrees at Spartanburg on the 23rd. There was very little cloudi ness in the western portion, and con siderable in the eastern and south eastern parts. Drought continues in the central and western counties, while the eastern and southern counties had copious rains, on the 20th and 21st, amounting in many places to between one and two inches. A few localities had ben eficial showers in the west, but over the larger part of that section of the State there was no rain or merely a trace. The weather was favorable for gathering crops, except in a few eas tern localities, and much hay was saved in fine condition, and fair prog ress was made in cutting and curing pea vines. Over the larger portion of the State the ground is too dry for plowing and fall seeding operations, and less than the usual amount of oats, or other grains have been sown. The dry weather was also inimical to late corn, fall root crops and pastures. Over the eastern counties minor crops have sufficient moisture and a n e do ing well. , Cotton continues to open rapidly in all sections, and it is opening pre maturely over a large portion of the western half of the State, but there is no perceptible change in the condition of the crop, nor in the prospective yield which is smaller than last year in all parts. The weather was favor able for picking, with some interrup tion in the east, where some open cotton was damaged by rain both this and last week. Fall truck was favored by the rains on the 21st, but some hay on the ground was damaged along the coast. In other parts of the State haying progressed rapidly and favorably.
