Are You Nervous?
What makes you nervous? It is the weakness of your
womanly constitution, which cannot stand the strain of the
hard work you do. As a result, you break down, and ruin
your entire nervous system. Don't keep this up! Take
Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui is made from purely
vegetable ingredients. It acts gently on the womanly organs,
and helps them to do their proper work. It relieves pain
and restores health, in a natural manner, by going to the
source of the trouble and building up the bodily strength.
Cardui WomarftTonic
Mr*. Orace Fortner, of Man, W. Va., took Cardui.
This is what she says about it: "I was so weak and
nervous, 1 could not bear to have anyone near me. I had
fainting spells, and 1 lost flesh every day. The first dose
of Cardui helped me. Now, 1 am entirely cured of the
fainting spells, and I cannot say enough for Cardui, for I
know It saved my life** It is the best tonic for women.
Do you suffer from any of the pains peculiar to women?
Take Cardui. It will help you. Ask your druggist

PRESENCE OF MIND
May Make Heroes of Physical
Cowards In Time of Danger.
NOT A MATTER OF COURAGE.
It It the Sudden Impulse That Move*
One to Do the Right Thing In an Un?
expected Emergency?A Soldier and
a Shell and a Man and a Murder.
There Is u distinction to be drawn
between presence of mind and cour?
age. Persous who naturally are timid
and nervous will in circumstances of
great danger and excitement perform
acts of heroism that would be beyond
their powers on ordinary occasions.
We speak of these as instunces of
presence of mind. But If you usk
them they vvouid tell you that an in?
voluntary impulse rather than any
premeditated course of action gvMod
their will on the occasion. Had they
time for reflection when all the threat?
ening dangOT to themselves had be?
come clear to their minds their nat?
ural timidity of character would have
asserted itself and deprived them of
action.
It is absence of fear that prompts
the soldier under a heavy fire from
the enemy's guns to go to the assist?
ance of a wounded comrade and bring
him to a place of safety, and nothing
In human nature can compare with
auch self sacrifice. Rut in times of
sudden emergency It is not always
the bravest who act with promptitude.
The following story is an instance of
this:
One of our transports was returning
from the Philippines with invalided
men, and one morning at sea a group
?f officers on the deck discussed the
aubject of firing shells. A soldier was
told by the colonel to bring an empty
?hell with a fuse. The colonel took
Ihe shell In his hands and. striking a
match, lighted the fuse. As this slow?
ly burned and the colonel proceeded
with his address to the other officers
another soldier passed the group, and
the moment he caught sight of the
shell he rushed forward, exclaiming,
"Look out. sir; the shell Is a lire one!"
Then he did what never seemed to
have come Into the minds of any in the
group of officers. He seized the shell
out of the hands of the colonel and
threw it into the sea. For this service
he was promoted. The soldier who
had been told to bring an empty shell
had gone to the wrong magazine.
Those who talked with the man touch?
ing this Incident srv tbst h? r?*?idi
ated any Idea of baring done a brave
hing, "i don't knovi." he saiU. "what
made me anlas lbs abell out of the
colootl'a hand, bnt It came suddenly
Into mj mind, and 1 did it." It io taUl
wave of unconscious thought which
constitutes true presence of mind. This
will come to people of nervous and
even cowardly natures.
There Is of authentic record the case
of a man known to be utterly deficient
of courage who saved himself from a
very awkward situation by an exhibi?
tion of real presence of mind. He was
an Englishman and lived in a town in
the midlands, where he was an organ?
ist I*ate one evening he was returning
home through some of the back streets,
which at that hour were more or less
empty of people. As he went along,
however, he noticed some distance
ahead of him a man and a woman
walking side by side, the man's arm
being around the woman's neck. Just
under a street lamp the couple stop?
ped for a moment, when the organist
beard a piercing scream and saw the
woman slowly falling from the man's
arms. Almost before she had reached
the ground the man darted away
down a side street and disappeared.
When the organist cafiie up to the
woman he found, to his horror, that
she was lying in a pool of blood. His
first impulse was to run away and get
clear of the terrible scene, but his bet?
ter feelings prevailed, and ho knelt
down beside the poor woman to see if
he could do anything for her. When
he raised her head he found she was
quite dead, with her throat cut from
ear to ear. Beside her on the pave?
ment lay a blood stained razor.
The organist was overwhelmed with
horror. Before he could collect him?
self a group of people had gathered,
and presently he heard expressions
such as "He did lt." "I tell you I saw
him," "There Is the razor," "The fiend!
Where are the polk- ?" 4*nand him
over!" It was certainly a very awk?
ward position, as the rough character
of the people might tempt them to
take the law Into their own hands and
use him very badly. The arrival of a
policeman seemed to steady his nerves
for a moment, and then came a wave
of inspiration that might trvly be call?
ed presence of mind He seized the
dead woman'! wrist and. pulling out
his watch, went through the form of
feeling her pulse. Then he put his
hand over her bear! and, turning to
the policeman, said as calmly as he
could: "I am sorry to say that I can
be of no further service here. Tho
poor won,in Is quite dead. .There is
no action in the hear! or (he pulse."
In an Instant the murmurs of the
crowd changed, and bo beard "Ho'*
the doctor" on all aides, This was his
opportunity, and. slowly rising and
affecting |n be In n?> hurry, he passed
through the crowd, who made way for
him But when he got clear of tin?
ptreet and came to the tir^t turning he
took to his heels and ran for all be
was worth. The cowardly spirit got
the hotter of him i'; the end. He
heard the ne\t day that the murderer
had gone atmiffh* lo Ihe police station
and given himself up, - Mew York

MORE ABOUT MISSING MAN
Partien Prom Privateer Want Affair
Investigated by Authorities.
Prom Hi" Dally Item, June 17.
Today two men from Privateer,
Messrs, Hodge and W. T. Davis, were
in the city for the purpose of fatting
ih->. county officials to investigate the
alleged whipping a!.u supposed mur
der of ii whits man down in that
section.
Mr. Davis claims that the man.
John Browder, was whipped and that
he has not been seen tine*'. He does
not know whether Browder is a ne
gro or not, although he thought that
he was a white man. He claims that
the citizens of the community ha\e
organized and searched for Browder
but were unable to lind him. They,
however, secured information to the?
eff iCt that shots were Jired at the
place where Browder was last seen,
and later the mob of negroes who gave
Browder a whipping came from that
direction.
The warrants w hich v vre sworn out
before Judge Wells by J. T. Hodge
were turned over to the sheriff who
it is stated turned them over to
Magistrate Ingram of Privateer. No
arrests have been mads and it Is not
known what Judge Ingram has done
about the matter, although it was
stated by Mr. Davis that he had done
nothing.
Parties have since the warrants
v\ : e sworn out informed M igistrate
Wells that the man was still in that
s. ction and other parties have report
ei! that the man was seen, but Messrs.
Davis and Hodge both assert in posi
tlve terms that this is untrue.
1 lowever, the case may turn out
and whatever may be the real trouble
al out the matter, It is certain that
the man was made to get out of the
buggy which he had taken from the
colored preacher with whom he was
staying, and for whom he was work
in,. Rev. Cheavis, and given a good
beating by the negroes who composed
the party which went after him. It
Is supposed that the beating was giv
en him because he was going out rid?
ing With a colored girl, whose rela?
tives objected to Browder going with
her. The negroes for whom the war?
rants were issued were 4 uncles and
the father of the girl, all of them
being named Smiling. The most pe?
culiar thing about the affair is that

< hri#tiiias Case Continued.
The case against J. H. Christmas,
who was to have been tried at the
present term of tile federal court in
Charleston for conducting a whiskey
still on his place in Manchester town?
ship, was continued until some later
term <>f court sj that time can be giv?
en for the capture of Med Haker, who
was connected with Christmas in the
operation of the still.
A bench warrant was issued for
Baker, who Is a son-in-law of Christ?
mas, and whose whereabouts are un
kn awn.
Mr. II. T. Edens wishes a cor?
rection made as to the capture of Gus
Cooper. He was not a bondsman
for Cooper, nor was he looking for
him at the time that he ran across
him. He sras out looking for several
parties and the she ft had asked
him to take along some warrants for
other parties at the same time and to
arrest them if he came across them
in his search for the men he wanted.
He did arrest both Michau and Coop?
er in this way, but he did so only at
the request of the sheriff and as a
favor to that officer.
