DANGER SIGNALS.
No engineer would be mad enough to
run by the flag which signaled danger.
It is different wit1- *’ ---------
or woman. They
attempt constantly
to run by the dan-
ger signals of
Natnro and that
attompt costs
thousands of lives
every year. When the
appetite becomes irregu-
lar or entirely gives out.
when sleep Is troubled
and broken, when there is
a constant feeling of dull-
ness and languor, Nature
Is hoisting the danger sig-
nal. Tho stomach and its
allied organs are failing In
their work and the body
is losing tho nutrition on
which its strength de-
pends.
Such a condition calls
for a prompt use of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It cures dis-
eases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion
and nutrition, purifies
and enriches the blood and
builds up tho body with
sound, solid flesh.
“I have had so much bene-
fit from your medicines am
words that you may use
writes Mrs. J. R. Downes, Crystal cake. Conn.
Had been troubled with a complication of
diseases for over two years, but kidneys and
liver bothered me most. Borne of my worst
ailments wore headache, frequent pains
around heart and under right shoulder-
blade- My hands and feet were cold nearly
all the time, and I had such chilliness be-
tween shoulders. Some days cared but little
for food: I lost flesh: felt so tired and mis-
erable It seemed I couldn’t do any house-
work. Took medicine from my physician,
but received no benefit Bought a bottle of
Golden Medical Discovery,’ and after tak-
ing it I felt so much better we determined to
rive It a fair trial. Appetite soon improved
and gradually the disorders disappeared un-
til now I am well."

Hats Olf to Texas.
The Choctaw Inquirer: Texas
is a whopper. She’s a peach.
She’s the widest, broadest and
longest country on earth, extend-
from east to west and also from
north to south. She could put
Rhode Island in her vest pocket.
She Could swallow three or four
States like Maryland and wash
em down by drinking the Missou-
ri dry, and could digest ’em with-
out ever having the colic. Tex-
as is the empire State of the Un-
ion. She’s chiefest among ten
thousand and altogether lively,
wild, reckless. She’s the pebble
on the beach. She’s one of the
old blue hen’s chickens. She’s
the cock of the walk and the dem-
ocrat of the world. She’s a wolf,
it’s her day to howl. Texas is
bounded on the east by the alli-
gators of Louisiana and huckle-
berry thicket of Arkansas. She is
bounded on the north by the tom-
ahawk and the war whoop of the
red man. She is bounded on the
west by the chili con came of
New Mexico and the hot tamales
of old Mexico. She is bounded
on the south by the Gulf of Mexi-
co, and if it wasn’t for that
measly body of salty water she
would extend beyond the south
pole. As I said at the beginning,
Texas is a whopper, she is a jim
dandy, and don’t you doubt it.

WILKINS I
MARY E. gp
as we rode along in silence, if any
man spoke Captain Jaynes quieted
him with a great oath smothered in his
chest as if by a bed of feathers, and
presently I became aware there were
more of us than when we started. We
swarmed through the woods, our com-
pany being swelled invisibly from
every side, and not only men, but wom-
en. were there. Both Mistress Allgood
and Mistress Longman were pressing
on with their petticoats tucked up. and
to my great surprise both of the black
women who lived at Barry Upper
Branch. They slunk along far to the
tear, with knives gleaming like white
fire at their girdles, keeping well out
of sight of the Barry brothers, who
were both of our party, and looking for
ail the world like two female tigers of
some savage Jungle in search of prey,
since each moved with a curious power-
ful croueli of secrecy as to her back
and hips and wary roll of fierce eyes.
When we were fairly in the open of
Major Beverly’s plantation some few
! i’dirnffTS'lli, null-tlun I BMW
we were indeed a good hundred strong,
md of the party were that old gra -
beard who had played Maid Marlon on
May day and many of the morris dan-
cers and those lusty lads and lasses,
»nd they had been at the cider this
time as at the other, but all had their
wits at their service.
Not a light was in Major Beverly’s
great house, not a stir in the slave
quarters. One would have sworn they
were all asleep or dead. But Captain
Jaynes called a halt and divided U3
into rank and file like a company of
reapers, and to work we went on the
great tobacco fields.
I trow it seemed a shame, as it ever
does, to invoke that terrible force of
the world which man controls, whether
to his liberty or Ills slavery ’tis the
question, and bring destruction upon
all that fair inflorescence of life. But
sometimes death and destruction are
the means to life and immortality.
Those great fields of Major Robert
Beverly’s lay before us in the full
moonlight, overlapping with the lusty,
breadth of the new leaves gleaming
with silver dew, and upon them we
fell. We hacked and cut, we tore up
by the roots.
In a trice we were bedlam loosened—
that is, the x-uder part of us. Some of us
worked with no less fury, but still with
some sense of our own dignity as de-
stroyers over destruction. But the rab-
ble who had swelled our ranks were
all on tire with rage and wasted them-
selves as well as the tobacco. They
filled the hlr with shouts and wild
screams and peals of laughter. That
fiercest Joy of the world, the Joy of
destruction, was upon them, and sure
it must have been one of the chiefest
of the Joys of primitive man, for alt
in a second it was as If the centuries
of civilization and Christianity had
gene for naught and the great gulf
which lies back of us to the past had
been leaped.^
One bad doubted it not bad he seen
those old men tearing up the tobacco
plants, their mouths dribbling with a
slow mutter of curses, for they had
drunk much cider, and, being aged and
none too well fed, it had more hold on
tLcm than on some of the others, and
to see the women lost to ail sense of
decency, with their petticoats girded
high ou account of the dew, striding
among the plants with high flings of
stalwart legs, then slashing right and
left with an uncertainty of fury which
threatened not only themselves but
their neighbors as well as the tobacco,
and shrieking now and then, regard-
1033 of who might hear, “Down with
tho king!’’
Often one cut a finger, but went on
with blood flowing, and their hair be-
gun to fly loose, and they smeared their
faces with their cut hands, and ns for
the two black women, they pounced
upon those green plants with fierce
swashes of their gleaming knives and,
though they could have sensed little
•bout the true reason for it all, worked
with a fury of savagery which needed
no motive only its first impetus of mo-
tion.
Captain Jaynes rode hither and
thither striving to keep the mob in
order and enjoining silence upon them,
nnd now and then lashiug out with his
long riding whip, but he had set forces
In motion which he could not stop. Fire
and flood and wind and the passions
of men, whether for love or rage, are
beyond the leading of them who iuvdR6
titem, being the instruments 61 the
gods.
Sir Humphrey H. de, who was beside
me, slashing away at the plants, whis-
pered. “My God, Harry, how far will
this fire which wo have kindled
spread?’' but not in fear so much as
amazement.
And I. bringing down a great ring
of the green loaves, re;die i, and fed
as I spdko as if some other than I had
my tongue and my voice:
“Maybe in the end, before it hath
quite died out. to the destroying or
tyranny and monarchy and the clear-
ing of tho fields for a new government
of equality and freedom."
But Sir Humphrey stared at me.
“Sure,” he said, “it can do no more
than to force the king to see that his
colony hath grown from infancy to
manhood and hath an arm to be re-
spected. nnd comp"! him to repeal the
navigation act. What else, Harry?”
Then I, speaking again as If some
other moved my tongue, replied that
none could say what matter a little
fire kindlotii. but those that came after
us migliFTtnow ttir* result of that which
we that night begun.
But Sir Humphrey shook his head.
“If but Nat Bacon were alive!” he
sighed. “No leader have we. Harry.
Oh, Harry, if thou wert not a convict!
Captain Jaynes is sure out of his ele-
ment in defending the rights of the op
pressed and should be on his own
quarter deck with his cutlass in hand
nnd his rapscallions around him, slay
Ing and robbing, to be in full feather.
Naught can he do hero. Lord, hear
those women shriek! Why did they let
women come hither, Harry? Sure Nick
Barry is in his cups. Not thus would
matters have been were Bacon alive
The women would have been at home
in tlioir beds, and no man in liquor at
work, for I trust not the militia. Would
Captain Bacon were alive, as he would
have been had he not been foully done
to-death.”
This he said believing, as did many,
that Bacon’s death was due to treach-
ery and not fever, nor, as many of his
enemies affirmed, from overindul
gcnce in strong spirits, and I must say
that I, remembering Bacon's greatness
of enthusiasm and fixedness of pur-
pose, was of the same belief.
As lie spoke I seemed to see that
dead hero as he would hare looked in
our midst with the moonlight shining
on the stern whiteness of his face and
that look of high command in his eyes
which none dared gainsay. And 1
answered again and again, as with an
impulse not my own, “And maybe Ba
con in truth leads us still, if not by his
own chosen ways, to his own ends.”
“Truly, Harry,” Sir Humphrey
agreed, “had it not been for Bacon, I
doubt if we had been at this night's
work.”
Ail the time we talked we advanced
in oar slashing swath up the field,
and all the time that chorus of wild
laughter and shrieks or disloyalty kept
time with the swash of the knives, and
all the time rose Captain Jaynes'
Storm of fruitless curses and com-
mands, and now and then the stinging
lash of his riding whip, and also Did*
Barry’s. As for Nick Barry, he lay
overcome with sleep on a heap of the
cut tobacco.
And ail the time not a light shone in
any of Major Robert Beverly’s win-
dows, and the slave quarters were as
still as the tomb.
The store of ammunition in the tomb
had been secretly removed and por-
tioned out to the plant cutters at night-
fall.
It was no slight task for even a hun-
dred to cut such a wealth of tobacco
as Major Robert Beverly had planted,
work as fast as they might, and pro-
ceed over the fields in a fierce crawl
of destruction, like an army of locusts,
and finally they begun to wax im-
patient. And finally up rose thnt ter-
magant, Mistress Longman, straighten-
ing her back with a spring as if it were
whalebone, showing us her face shame-
less with rage nnd stained green with
tobacco Juice and here and there red
with blood, for she had slashed ruth-
lessly. Bhe flung back her coarse tan-
gle of hair, threw up her arms with a
wild hurrahing motion and screamed
out in such a volume of shrillness thnt
she overenpped ail the rest of Ihe
tumult:
"To the stables, to the 6tables! Let
out Major Beverly’s horses nnd le!
them trample down the tobacco.”
Then such a cry echoed Dor that I
trow it might have proceeded from d
thousand throats instead of one hun-
dred odd. and in spite of all that Cap-
tain Jaynes could do. seconded by
some few of us g(,ntlen “n w! i ra1' l
about him but were lie.pie .ice

could not fire upon our coadjutors, that
mob swept into Beverly’s stables, and
presently oat leaped, plunging with
terror, all his fine thoroughbreds, the
mob riding them about the fields in
wild career. And one of the maddest
of the riders, sitting astride and flog-
ging her steed with a locust branch,
was Mistress Longman, while her hus-
band vainly tied after her, beseeching
her to stop, nnd those nround wer#
roaring with laughter.
Then some must let out the major’s
hogs, and they came rooting and tum-
bling with unwieldy gambols. And
with this wild troop of animals, and
ihe moli shrieking in a frenzy of de-
light, and now and then a woman in
terror before the onslaught of a gallop-
ing horse, and now and then a whole
group of cutters overset by a charging
hog, and up and after him. and slaying
him, and his squeals of agony—verily I
had preferred a battlefield of a different
sort.
And nil this time Major Robert Bev-
erly's house stood still in the moonlight,
and not a noise from the slave quarters,
and the fields were all in a pumice of
wasted plant life, and we were about
to go farther, when I heard again the
cry of the little child coming from a
chamber window. I trow they had
given her some quieting potion or she
had broken silence before.
With all our efforts the mob could
not be persuaded to return Major Bev-
erly's horses to ills stables, which cir-
cumstance was afterward to the saving
of his neck, since It was argued that
he would not have abetted the using
of his fine stud in such wise, some of
the horses being recovered and some
being lamed and cut.
So out of the Beverly plantation we
swept, those on horseback at a gallop
and those on foot tramping after, and
above the tumult came that farthest
reaching cry of the world—the cry of a
little child frantic witli terror.
Then they were for going to another
large plantation belonging to one Rich-
ard Forster, who had gone in Ralph
Drake's party, when all of a sudden the
horses of us who were leading swerved
aside, and there was Mistress Mary
Cavendish on her Merry Roger, and by
her side, pulling vainly at her bridle,
her sister Catherine.

Controlling Nature.
Everybody knows that of late
years natural forces have been
wonderfully subjected to man’s
need. We are dazzled by the
spectacular achievements in
steam and electricity but are like-
ly to forget the less noisy but no
less marvelous conquest of ani-
mal an I plant life. Horses are
swifter, cattle heavier, cows give
more milk, and sheep have finer
fleeces than in days gone by. In
plants the transformation is even
more marked. People now living
can remember when the number
of edible fruits and vegetables
was far less than at present and
even those that could be. grown
were vastly inferior to what we
now have. For example, our
parents knew nothing of the To-
mato except as a curious orna-
ment in the garden. Sweet Corn
was hardly better than the com-
monest field sorts. All oranges
had seeds. Celery was. little
known and poor in quality. In
the flower bed the magnificent
Pansy has replaced the insignifi-
cant Heart’s Ease from which it
was developed, and the Sweet
Pea in all its dainty splendor
traces its origin to the common
garden vegetable.
This progress has been made in
spite of the great tendency man-
ifested in all plants and animals
to go back to the original type.
It is indeed a battle to keep
strains pure and up to the stand-
ard they have already attained,
let alone any improvement. The
practical results are accomplish-
ed by men operating largely for
love of the work, like Luther Bur-
bank in California and Eckford
in England, as well as by the
great seed merchants, D. M. Fer-
ry & Co., of Detroit, Mich., who
are not only eternally vigilant to
hold what ground has been gain-
ed, but have a corps of trained
specialists backed by ample
means to conduct new experi-
ments. The results of their ex-
perience can be found in their
1906 Seed Annual which they will
send free to all applicants.

Sleeved Gowus—Pastel Tints In
Series and Soft Faced Cloths—Chif-

Winter styles have brought about a
very decided change in sleeves. The
puff at the shoulder is distinctly small-
er and consequently much more be-
coming to the average wearer.
There is no doubt that the blouse fas-
tened in the back affords the best op-
portunity for embroidery. One Is able
to elaborate the design if the front is
In one piece. Even the use of the yoke
limits the space for the embroidery un-
less it is a very narrow one. A new
and most becoming yoke which does
not take much of the available space
is one where clusters of tucks start
from the shoulders nnd complete a
group below the neck line. This short
yoke is very becoming. It is formed
in the same way in the back, and there
are lengthwise tucks down the eenter
on each side of the plait which corre-
spond to the group in the front. The
spaces between them are embroidered
with dots in white cotton.
Mohair braid is being much used as
trimming. It is arranged lengthwise

the evening black bats of velvet seem
to be the favorites. As to colors, one
has only to look at the fail dress mate-

very useful in the renovation or altera-
tion of garments. A wide braid can be
used as a hip yoke to lengthen a skirt
or form a cuff for a sleeve that is too
short Sleeves constitute the greatest
difficulty in making a last season’s
bodice up to date. In order to make a
sleeve large at the top it is best to
convert the sleeve into an elbow one
by cutting it iuto the shape of a half
circle as wide as its shape will permit
and putting four or five ruffles of lace
or plaited muslin at the end of It. Fol-
low it up by a tightly fitting under-
sleeve of lace to the wrists.
The blouse Illustrated is of white

of English embroidery form the yoke.
The sleeves are elaborately trimmed.

Velvet waists are to be popular this
winter. The great objection to a waist
of this material is the warmth, but the
newest weaves of velvet are compara-

parent yoke and collar of lace instead
of a high lined stock they are quite
comfortable and certainly becoming.

All the pliable skins are made up in

The modish giove for the short

new styles which bring velvet ribbon
again to the fore as a valuable dress

Pastel tints are smart this season, es-
pecially in French serges and soft faced
cloths, and in these colorings are many
soft, attractive shades in silks. A fa-

much used for evening gowns.
Chiffon and chiffon cloth will be made
up over white for blouses. Some of
these waists will be made of a lighter
shade of the color of the broadcloth
suit with which they are worn.
At the beginning of the season checks
were voted second rate, but further de-
velopments have shown them to be
still favorites despite the first evidence.
In Panama cloth they are especially at-
