Christmas Ladles Home Journal.
The Christmas Lubes' Home
Journal opens with a page of beau
tiful children, bdected from thou
sands of portraits. The children's
holiday greeting is a pleasing in
troduction to the excellent articles
pertaining; to the great festal sea
son. One of these interestingly
describes Christmas in the Palace
at Potsdam, telling bow the Ger
man Emperor and Empress and the
Royal children celebrate the day.
There are also two admirable short
stories, "Christmas at 'The Holly
hocks,' " and "Christmas at the
Trimbles.' "
A feature that will arouse wide
spread interest is the lirst letters
of a series giving "The Inner Ex
periences of a Cabinet Members
Wife." They present an inside
view of Washington political and
pocial life, as has never before been
done in any magazine. The letters
will occasion much surprise. A
reading of the first installment
makes obvious the reason for with
holding the writer's name.
Every reader of fiction will be
delighted to find the. opening chap
ter of Hamlin Garland's new se
rial, "The Doctor." Mary E.
Wilkins carries her readers into
her favotite realm, New England,
In one of her sketches, '-The
Christmas Sing in Our Village,"
and Lillian Bell, in her second let
ter from London sums up her stu
dies ot English men and women at
short range in keen and brilliant
epigram,
Edward W. Box points out how
to make pleasanter the Christmas
of the youth and the aged, and de
cries the le-e of slang by girls, and
the habit of talking about out's
ills. The only cor;ect and author
ized version of ' The Lost Chord"
ever published in this country ap
pears, with an autograph note 1>
its famous composer, Sir An bur
Sullivan.
Practical ajticlcs on Christmas
tell of suitable things to make fo:
gifts, nnd detail games, amuse
ments, etc. Mrs. Rorer, in addi
tion to her cooking lesson, has an
instructive article on candy-making,
and another on bow to set the
Christmas dinner table, and cook
and serve the dinner. The excel
lence of the illustrations h striking,
and in every f'ca'urc of the Christ
mas Journal is attractive, and use

Another good man takes Colonel
Childs place, Col. Cunningham and

body got them and bo has not seen
them since.
Th-> five cents cotton h all about
gone. Homo of the p'-ople will be
in bad shape In another year
while others will bo In fairly good
ship". Our people in (bis commu
nity are sowing wheat regardless
of (he cost of the seed-?that being
very high,the people1 can see when
I hey have or want to, and they had
belter make cotton a side issue. If
they don't they will pay for the
Addling.
The reason some would not sow
wheat heretofore was this: The
common flour mills around here
did not make it good enough for
them. But now they have that DO
longer as an excuse. Two very
premising young men of our
county, Messrs. H. Machen and
Herbert Martin will soon have
their roller mills in operation at
your city and those that havo not
sown wheat ought to do it as they
will make as good as can be made.

not always understood.
A fact often overlooked, or not
al ways understood is that women
suffor as much from distressing
kidneys and bladder troubles as
tho men. Tho womb is situated
back of and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any
distress, disease or inconvenience
manifested in the kidneys, baek,
bladder or uninary passago is of
ten, by mistake, attributed to fe
male weakness or womb trouble
of .some sort.
Tho error is easily made and
may be as easily avoided by sot
ting urine aside for twenty-four
hours; n sediment or settling is
evidence that your kidneys and
bladder need doctoring. If you
have pain or dull aching in the
back, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply with smarting or
burning,?these are also convinc
ing proofs of kidney troubles. If
you have doctored without bone
fit, try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney remedy. The
mild and the extraordinary effoot
will surprise you. It stands the
highest for its wonderful eures.?
If you take n medicine you should
lake the best. At druggists fifty
