donkey's Home Journal (Chica

prise among the five-cent monthly
family magazines, as the quality
and quantity of the paper stock
and contents compare favorably
with that of the magazines at
twice the price. The December
istue has a striking Christmas
cover in colors. Notable among
Ihrconlents is u contribution from

Women Need
t constant supply of blood-making ma
terial or their systems will break down.
The complicated female organism is
!0 delicately adjusted as tows easily
thrown out of balance. As a result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
,ociety all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are muoh
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup
plied In greater measure with the ele
ment—iron—that gives strength. The
mason women feel tired and worn out
snd suffer from headache, painB in the
back and limbs, etc., is because they
have used up their supply of iron.
Menstruation trouble is largely caused
by lack of Iron.
Dr. Harter’s
Iron Tonic
•applied this element. It enriches the
blood and restores what strain has
used up.
Augusta, Ark., May 10,1801.
"After having told Or.

Harter's remedies
can cheerfully recommend
them. 1 might add that 1
bold in iipecisi favor Dr.Har

recommend It aa the very
best preparation of Iron I am ao
qualnted with. To weak, worn-out
women, and those troubled with nerv

blood, I believe It to be a panacea.

To Whom These Presents May
Come, Greeting
1 hereby state that I was rep
resenting Walter Hughes, alias
Forrest Arnold, at the time of
his death ; that he was charged
with forging and attempting to
pass a forged instrument; and as
his attorney, I was with him more
than anyone else during his sick
ness, and I hereby state that he
never died from starvation ; that
is, he never attempted to starve
himself to death, and instead of
being afraid of going to the peni
tentiary lie was ready and anxious
at ail times to go to trial at the
last term of the court, but his
case was set so late in the term
it was impossible to reach him.
He was never at any time afraid
of the charge against him. Meith
er was I, as his attorney, for,
after making a thorough investi
gation of tiis case 1 was satisfied
that it was a case of mistaken
identily, as said Waite1- Hughes
could, and would, have proven n
strong alihi. W. E. Calvin.
Took Carbolic Acid.
Eureka Springs, Dec. 7.— Mrs
Stella Lawrence, aged 23 years
died at 1 o’clock yesterday morn
ing from the effects of caiholii
acid, which her husband says sin
mistook for cough medicine in tin

winter from Nashville, 111., when
they said they were married threi
weeks ago, although Mrs. Law
fence told that her home was ii
Ohio, where her father is a prom
inent railroad man. Mrs. Law

a spirit of fun joined him in i
drink at the liar. Shortly aftei
their return home some loud talk

wants to buy a blind mule. He
says they are the only good mule
to be had, from the fact that they
won't paw down gates, kill calves,
tear down fences, pry open crib
doors and so on.
The Orange Judd Farmer speaks
favorably of corporate farming,
and suggests that farmers in a
neighborhood merge their inter
ests into a single company and in
corporate. We hope this idea will
never take root in the Southwest.
It would obliterate the farm home,
the main stay of the country; do
away with the independence and
autonomy of the agricultural unit,
and make of the farm home a mer
cenary commercial institution. It
would debase the best citizenship
of the countiy.
A party of young ladies were
seen wading the mud and slush up
one of the principal streets of town
a few days ago. They were hav
ing a bad time of it and were heard
to remark that The Journal had
been making a commendable tight
for sidewalks and they hoped that
■ it would keep it up until the city
! officials took hold of the matter
and either built walks or made the
property owners do so. The Jour
nal assures its readers that the fight
will be continued, for we are in
earnest about this matter. It is a
matter of vital importance to the
future welfare of the town. The
town and the property owners,
taken jointly, are amply able to
put in walks, at least on the prin
cipal streets, and we hope they
will take some action on the mat
ter immediately.

TIIK STRANGER FLED
Abundant Yeild of Arkansas Crops
Dumtoui.Jed Eastern nan
and he Didn’t Stay.
A stranger from an Eastern
state was riding through this part
of Arkansas and as it. was growing
late he rode up to n country house
to inquire for lodging tor tho
night. The lady of the house an
swered his call.
“Where is your husband ?” ask
ed the si runger.
“Down in the field sawing down
the corn so hit can he gathered.”
“Where are your son*?’’
“Bill is down yonder chopping
pnukins off the vines and George
is snakin’ them to the barn with
the steers.”
“Have you any other sons?”
“Yes, Tim is out yander priz
ing out pertuters with a crowbar
and the kids are rollin’ ’em to the
house.’’
Atremendou9 noise like a youu g
earthquake attracted the visitors
attention.
“What was that?” he asked.
“Tiiat’s Jess flailin’ off some
October peacbe9.”
“What’s that under the shed
yonder?”
“That's ’lasses. We made so
many we couldn’t barrel ’em and
jist made a pond outen ’em.”
“Why did you throw so much
hay over the fence down yonder?”
“Our grass was so fine that
when it was mowed it couldn’t be
stacked on thegiouml where hit
growed and some ot bit slid over
the fence.”
The stranger turned pale.
A terrible yell from some of the
children caused the lady to lun to
the scene.
“What’s the trouble?” queued
the stranger.
“Oh nothin’. Little Ben dumb
up on top of a squash an’ hit roll
ed over with him an' throwed him
over the fence.”
“Have you any daughters?”
“Yes Sal is out cuttin’ up an
apple for dinner, with a scythin’
blade ; Josie is scraping out a tur
nip to get the bull fer a chicken
coop, and Janie is sawing open a
cabbage go’s to get hit in tho wash
kettle to cook, and Marier carvin’
up l*cets fer pickles, with a broud
ax.”
The stranger grew nervous.
Tho farmer was driving to the
burn with a loud of con.. The
wagon beu was a half hull of a
pumpkin and was mounted upon
whetls made of the circular hulve.s
of turnips. When tho stranger
saw this, Le put spurs and tied.
Grip’s
Grim Grasp Caused
Heart Disease.
Could Not Lie Oa
Left Side.
Dr.Miles’He&rt Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
Mrs. H. R. Jobe, formerly of Birmingham,
Ala., writes from Eldrcdge, the same state,
as follows:
“It is with the greatest pleasure that I rec
ommend Ur. Miles' Nervine and Heait
Cure. I only wish that I could tell every
I sufferer how much good they have done me.
Last winter 1 had a severe attack of La
Grippe, which left my heart in a very bad
condition. I could not lie down for the
smothering spells that would almost over
come me and the feeling of oppression
around ray heart. I had not been so that I
could lie on ray left side for a long time. I
fot your Heart Cure and took three bottles.
have no trouble now with my heart and
can lie on my left side as welt as my right.
Formerly I had suffered for years with nerv
ous prostration. 1 had tried so many rem
edies that 1 had got clear out of heart of get
ting anything that would help me. The
nerves of my heart were so affected that
sometimes it would lose beats so tt would
seem to stop altogether. It was on the ad
vice of a lady friend that I tried your Restor
ative Nervine. I felt better after the first
lew doses and two bottles of Nervine and
one of Heart Cure made me feel like a new
person. My heart is all right and my nerv
ousness is all gone. I never fail to recom
mend it to others afflicted as I was.”
