There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and
kidneys become sluggish and in-
active. the digestion impaired,
with little or no appetite, no am-
bition for anything, and a feeling
that the whole body and mind
needs toning up. The trouble is
that during winter there has
been an accumulation of waste
matter in the system. Herbine
will remove it, secure to the se-
cretions a right exit, and by its
tonic effect, fully restore the
wasted tissues and give strength
in place of weakness. 50c at J.

April 25. — Great, towering
mountains, rock-ribbed, and an-
cient as the sun, with their peaks
piercing high up into the eth-
ereal blue, are perpetual monu-
ments of the once violent “shak-
ing up” of this, the northwest
part of Arkansas. And a migh
ty “shaking up” it must have
been! Great craggy rocks cling-
ilig to the sides of the mountains
look as though they were ready
to break loose with the least dis-
turbance and go rolling, bounc-
ing, tumbling down the steep in-
cline to find a more stable rest-
ing place in the gorges below.
Bluffs, as perpendicular and as
symmetrical asany, wall ever built
by the hand cf man, guard the
little rivulets as they come rip-
pling, jumping over rocks, fall-
ing over precipices, down the
mountain sides.
I call these mountains the
wounds of the earth, but as Time
heals all wounds, so it has healed
these. The country, no doubt,
once barren and desolate, is
now covered with a dense growth
of timber of many species.
Today, as I sit and write, I
pause and look about me. To the
north, or down, rather, I look
down into a mighty chasm, and,
mingled in wild profusion, I can

ance, and shaping each shrub
and stump into ghost-like atti-
tude; a pack of hungry wolves
make the woods ring with their
constant howls; a voice comes
wafted on the gentle breeze and
I hear the words:
“Though like a wanderer.
Daylight all gone.
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet, in my dreams I’d be.
Nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.”
The cadence lingers after the
singer has hushed and I find
myself slowly climbing the hill,
whistling: “She’s the Sweetest
Girl in all the State of Texas,”
and longing to be at home.

Carnegie's Latest Gift.
New York, April 24.—Just be-
fore leaving for Europe today
Andrew’ Carnegie said, respect-
ing his gift of $600,000 to the
Tuskegee institute: “Booker T.
Washington is doing a great
work for humanity and for his
race. His race has more than
ordinary disadvantages to over-
come. and he is leading them to-
ward a settlement of their trou-
bles through fifting them by
education. The race problem
will be settled, I believe, by edu-
cation, and in such a way as Mr.
Washington is now directing
that policy.”

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis-

In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from an attack
of colic or cholera morbus, often
before medicine could be pro-
cured or physician summoned.
A reliable remedy for these di-
seases should be kept at hand.

to take. Chamberlain's Colic,

has undoubtedly saved the lives
of more people and relieved
more pain and suffering than any
