Is Disease a Crime ? Not vpry long ago. a popular magazine published an editorial article In which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should bo regarded as criminal. Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Nature’s laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangements peculiar to her sex. Frequent, bearing of children, with its ex acting demands upon the system, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing a large family, is often the cause of weak nesses. derangements and debility which are aggravated by the many household cares, and the hard, and never-ending work which the mother is called upon to perform. Dr. Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem edy for woman’s peculiar weaknesses and ills—Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription—says that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure of this class of maladies is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not get the needed rest from her many household cares and labor to enable her to secure from the use of his "Prescription ” its full benefits. It Is a matter of frequent experience, he says, in his extensive practice in these cases, to Sieet with those in which his treatment fails y reason of the patient's inability to abstain from hard work long enough to be cured. With those suffering from prolapsus, ante version and retroversion of the uterus or other displacement'of the womanly organs, it is very necessary that, in addition to tak • ing his "Favorite Prescription” they abstain from being very much, or for long periods, on their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much out-door air as possible, with moderate, light exercise is also very important, l.wt the patient observe these rules ind the "Favor ite Prescription ” will do the rest.

ARMS AND THE MAN. In that book he wrote- the book In 'which he never so much ns names the name of Ireton—my Lord Cornwallis's commissary general, Charles Stelman, | damns Colonel Tarleton In a most gen j tlemanly manner for Ills ill success at the Cowpens, and would charge to his account personal the failure of Corn wallis's plan to crush in detail the pa ! triot army of the south. ! Now little as I love, or have cause to ! love. Sir Banastre Tarleton—they tell me he has been knighted and now ■wears a major general's sword-knot— 'tin but the part of outspoken honest ;enmity to say that we owed the victory at the Cowpens to no remissness on the ! part of the young legion commander w ho. If he Wore Indeed the most brutal, was also the most active and enterpris ing of Lord Cornwallis's Held officers. No, it was not remissness nor lack of bravery on the part of the enemy. 'Twas only that the tide had turned. King's Mountain had been fought and won, and there were to be no more Camdens for us, ; In the affair at the cow pastures, w'hieh followed hard upon Richard’s and my return from our flying visit to *Winnsborough, the very elements fought for us and against the British. As for instance: Tarleton, with his fu ,mous legion of horse, and Infantry enough to make his numbers exceed ours, began his march on the 11th and was rained on and mired for four long days before he had crossed the Broad and had come within scouting distance of us. ! Left to himself, Dan Morgan would have locked horns with the enemy at the fording of the Pacolet; but in the council of war our colonel and John Howard of the Marylanders were for drawing Tarleton still deeper into the wilderness and farther from the British main, which was by this moved up as far as Turkey creek. So we broke camp hastily and fell back into the hill country, and on the night of the mill took post on the northern slope of a low' ridge between two running streams. For its backbone our force had some 300 men of the Maryland line and two companies of Virginians. These formed our main, and were posted on the ris ing ground with John Howard for tlielr commander. A hundred and fifty paces in their front, partly screened in the open pine, oak and chestnut wooding of the ground, were Pickens’ Caroli nians and the Georgians; militiamen, it is true, but skilled riflemen, and ev ery man of them burning hot to be avenged on Tarleton’s pillagers. Still farther to the front, disposed as right and left wings of outliers, were Yeates and his fellow borderers and some sixty of the Georgians set to feel the enemy's approach, and In the re serve, posted well to the rear of the Marylanders and Virginians, was our own colonel’s troop guarding the horses of the dismounted Georgians. ’Twas when we were all set In order to await the sun’s rising and the ene my’s approach that Dan Morgan rode the lines and harangued us. He was better at giving and taking shrewd blows than at speechmaking, but we all knew his mettle well by now, and I think there was never a man of us to laugh at his unwonted grandiloquence and solemn periods. In the harangue the two battle lines had their orders; to be steady, to aim low, and above all, to hold their fire till the enemy was within sure killing distance, ‘"Tls a brave old Daniel,” said Dick, whilst the general was saw'ing the air for the benefit of the South Carolinans. ••’Twill not be his fault If we fail. But you are older at this business than any of us, Jack; what think you of our chances?” I laughed, and the laugh was meant to be grim. I knew the temper of the British regulars, and how, when well led, they could play the hammer to any' body’s anvil. "Any raw recruit can prophesy be fore the fact,” said I. “We have Tar leton, his legion, the Seventh, a good third of the Seventy-first, and two pieces of artillery in our front. If they do not give a good account of them selves, ’twill be because Tarleton has marched them leg-stiff to overtake us.” Dick fell silent for a moment, and when he spoke again some of Dan Mor gan’s solemnity seemed to have got into his blood. “I have a sort of coward inpricking that I shan’t come out of this with a whole skin, Jack; and there’s a thing on my mind that mayhap you can take off. You have had Madge to yourself a dozen times since that day last au tumn when I asked her for the hun dredth time to put me out of misery. As I have said, she would not hear me through, but she gave me a look as I had struck her with a whip. Can you tell me why?” The morning breeze heralding the sunrise was whispering to the leafless branches overhad, and there was noth ing in all Dame Nature's peaceful set ting of the scene to hint at the im pending war-clash. Yet the war por tent was abroad In all the peaceful morning, and my mood marched with the lad’s when i gave him his answer. "Truly, I could tell you, Richard; and It Is your due to know It from no other lips than mine. Mayhap, a little iater, when restitution can go hand in hand with repentance and confession—’’ "No, no," he cut in quickly. “Tel! me now. Jack; your ’little later’ may be all too late—for me. Does she love you?—has she said she loves you?" "Nay, dear lad; she despises me well and truly, and has never missed the chance of saying so. Wait but a little longer and I pledge you on the honor of a gentleman you shall have her for your very own. Will that content you. At rny assurance his mood changed and in a twinkling he became the dauntless soldier who fights not to die, but to win and live. “With that word to keep me I shall not be killed today, I promise you. Jack; and that in spite of this damned queasiness that was showing me the burying trench.” And then he added softly; “God bless her!” I could say amen to that most heart ily did it, and would have gone on to add benlson of my own, but at the mo ment there were sounds of galloping horses on our front, and presently three red-coated officers, one of them the redoutable Colonel Tarleton him self, rode out to reconnoitre us most coolly. I doubt If he would have been so rash had he known that Yeates and his borderers were concealed in easy pistol shot; but the simultaneous cracking of a dozen rifles warned and sent the trio scuttling back to cover. Dick swore piteously, with the snap shot skirmishers for a target. "The fumblers!” he raged. “ ’Twas the chance of a life-time, and they all missed like a lot of boys at their first deer stalking!" “They will have another chance, and that speedily." I ventured; and, truly, the chance did not tarry. From our view point on the rising ground we could see the enemy form ing under cover of the wood; and as we looked, the two pioects of cannon were thrust to the front to bellow out the signal for the assault. ’Twas a sight to stir the blood when the enemy broke cover into the opener wooding of the field to the tunc of the roaring cannon, the volleyings of small arms and the defiant huzzalngs of the men. The .sun was just peering over the summit of Thicketty mountain, and his level rays fell first upon the charg ing line sweeping in like a tidal wave of red death to crumple our skirmishers before it. "Lord! says Richard; "if Y-atos and the Indian come alive out of that—" Flit the outliers closed upon our first line in decent good order, firing as they could; and in less time than it takes to write it down the bnsweeplng wave of red was upon the Carolinians. We looked to see the militia lire and run. home-guard fashion; but these men of Pickens’ were made of more soldierly stuff. They took the fire of the as saulting- line like veterans, giving ground only when it came to the bay onet push. "That fetches !t to us," said Richard, most coolly; drawing his claymore when the Carolinians began to come home like spindrift ahead of the wave of red. Then he had a steadying word for the men of his company, and a hearty shout and a curse for some of the Georgians who had out around the flanks of our main to come at their horses in the rear. Ifnf il.„ I ,1’.. ecc/M.tlon til if nm> ♦?rv»r» nut me iau a assertion mat our time was comp was only a half prophecy The Marylanders, with the Virginians on their flank, stood firm, giving the onrushing wave a shock that went near to breaking it. But the British were better bayoneted than we, and when it came to the iron our lads must needs give ground sullenly, fighting their way backward as a stubborn assault lights its way inch by inch forward. "Here conies their reserves," said Dick, pointing with his blade to a sec ond red line forming in the farther vistas of the wood. “Lord! shall we never get into it'.'" 'Twas just here that nr. order sent by Colonel Howard to his first com pany, directing it to charge by tire flank, came near costing us a rout. The order was misunderstood—'twas received at the precise moment of the upcoming of the British reserves—and the Marylanders fell back. In the turning of a leaf our entire fighting front gave way. and what of the Georgians there were left in the mellay made a frantic dash for the horses. At this crisis John Howard saved the day for us by shrewdly executing the most difficult maneuver that is ever es sayed by a field officer in the heat of battle. Suffering his men to drift backward until the enemy, sure now of success, were rushing on in disorder to give the coup de grace, he gave the quick command: "About face! Fire! Charge!" I saw the volley delivered In the faces of he redcoats at pike's length range; saw the Virginians on the flanks bend to encircle the enemy; saw the rout transfer itself at the roar of the muskets from our side to the recoiling British. Then I heard Dick’s shouted command: ‘‘Charge them, lads! they're sabering the Georgians!” A section of Tarleton’s horse had hewed its way past our flank and was at'Work on the militiamen scrambling for their mounts. At it we went, with our brave colonel a horse's length ahead of the best rider in the troop, pistols banging and sword blades whistling, and that other curious sound you will hear only when the cavalry engages—the heavy dunch of the horses coming together like huge living mis siles hurled from catapults. ’Twas soon over, and the enemy, horse and foot, was flying in hopeless confusion throught the open wood. Our troop led tha pursuit; and this brings me to an Incident in which thy old chronicler—figuring in the histories as an unnamed sergeant—had his share. It was in the hot part of the chase, and Colonel Tarleton—a true Briton in this, that he would be first in the charge and last In tha retreat—was gal loping with two of Ills aides in rear of the dragoons. Since many of us knew the British commander by sight, there was a great elapping-to of spurs to overtake and cut him off. In this race three horses outdistanced all the oth ers; the great bay ridden by Colonel Washington, a snappy little gray be stridden by the colonel’s boy bugler, and my own mount. When the crisis came, our colonel had the wind of the boy and me and was calling on Colonel Tarleton to surrender at discretion. For answer the three British officers wheeled and fell upon him. Never was a man nearer his death. In a whiff Tarleton was foul ing at him In front whilst the two aides were rising in their stirrups on either hand to cut him down. 'Twas the little bugler boy who saved his colonel’s life, and not the unnamed “sergeant," as the histories have it. Having neither a sword nor the strength to wield one, the boy reined sharp to the left and pistoled his man as neatly as you please. Seeing his fellow sabreur drop his weapon and clap his hand to the pistol wound, my man hesitated just long enough to let me in with the clumsiest of upeuts to. spoil the muscles of his sword arm. This transferred the duel to the two principles, who were now at it, hammer and tongs. Both were good swordsmen, but of the twain our colonel was far the cooler. So when Tarleton made to end it with a savage thrust in tierce, Washington parried deftly and his point found his antagonist’s sword hand. At thl3 Tarleton dropped his blade — It hangs now over the chimney-piece in Mr. Washington's town house in Char leston—gave the signal for flight, and the three Britons, each with a wound to nurse, wheeled and galloped on. But in the act Tarleton snatched a pistol from his holster and let drive at our colonel, wounding him in the knee, so we did not come off scatheless. This pistoling of Colonel Washington by the British commander skimmed a little of the cream from our great and glorious victory. 'Twas no serious hurt, but wanting it I make no doubt we should have ridden down the flying dragoons, adding them, and their doughty colonel to boot, to the flve hundred-odd prisoners we took. The battle fought and won—'twas over and done with two full hours be fore noon—Dan Morgan knew well what must befall, lacking the swift est after-doing on our part. With Greene near a hundred miles away, and my Lord Cornwallis less than three hours’ gallop to the southward on Tur key creek, the time was come for the hastiest welding of our little army with that of the general-in-coinmand; If, Indeed, the promptest running would take us to the upper fords of the Ca tawba before Cornwallis should Inter vene and cut us off. Accordingly, Jennifer and I were de tailed to carry the news of the victory to Greene's camp at Cheraw Hill; and when wo rode away on tjio warm trail of the flying British, we left Dan Mor gan's men hard at It. burning the heavy impediments of the capture, and otherwise making ready for the'swift est of forced marches to the north. ’Twouid be a thankless task to take you with us stage by stage on our cross-country gallop to advertise Gen eral Greene of the vfl c ry at the cow pastures. Suffice it to say that we made shift to turn the head of the ad vancing British main, now In motion and hastening with all speed to cut Dan Morgan off; that we Were by turns well soaked by rain and stream, deep mired In bogs, chared times without number by the enemy’s outriders, and hard-shipped freely for food and horse provender be fore we saw ramp on the Pedeo. All tliis you may figure for yourselves, the main point being that we came at length to the goal, weary, rnire splashed and belted to the last buckle bole to pinch down the hunger pains, but sound of skin, wind and limb. Having our news, which set the camp in a pretty furor of rejoicing, I promise you. General Greene lost not an hour in making bis dispositions. 1.caving Isaac Huger and Colonel Otho Williams in command at Cheraw, tlio general sent Edward Stevens with the VI r; ininns by way of Charlotte to Mor gan’s aid, and himself took horse, with a handful of dragoons, in which Dick and 1 were volunteers, to ride post haste to a meeting with Morgan at the upper fords. Again I may pass lightly over r.n in terval of three days spent hardily in Uie saddle, coining at once to that rain drenclied 31st of January, cold, raw and dismal, when no drew rein at Sher tard's ford jmfl found Dan Morgan and his men safe across the Catawba with his prisoners, and my Lord Cornwallis quite as safely flood-checked on the western bank of the stream. Having done our errand, Dick and I reported, at once to oar colonel. 'Twas of a piece with William Washington's £0odnes3 of heart to offer us leave to rest. "You have had weary work of It, I doubt not, gentlemen,” he would say. "Your time Is your own until General Greene sets us in order for what lie has in mind to do.” I looked at Dick, and he looked at me. "May wo count upon twenty-four hours, think you, colonel?” I asked. ' irately, I should say.” "Then I shall ar.k leave nf absence for Captain Jennifer and myself till this time tomorrow," I went on, “This is our home neighborhood, as you know, and we have a little matter of private business which may be dispatched In a day.” "Will thi.3 business take you within the lines?” “That is ns it may be, sir. I do not know the bounds of (he outposting.” The colonel wrote us passes to come and go at will past the sentries, and I drew Dick away. "What is it, Jack?” he asked, when we were by ourselves. “'TIs the fulfilling: of my promise to you, Richard. Get your horse and we wifi ride together.” "But whither?” he queried. "To Appleby Hundred—and Mistress Margery.” XLVIIT. HOW WE KEEP TRYST AT APPLE BY HUNDRED. ’Twas late in the afternoon of the last day of January when we set out together, Jennifer and I, from t'ne camp of conference at Sherrard’s ford. The military situation, lately so crit ical for ua, had reached and passed one of its many subcllmaxes. Morgan’s little army, with its prisoners still safe in hand, was on its way northward to Charlottesville in Virginia, and only the officers remained behind to confer With General Greene. For the others, Huger and Williams were hurrying up from Cheraw to meet the general at Salisbury; and General Davidson, with a regiment of North Carolina volunteers, was set to keep the fords of the Catawba. As for tlie British commander's in teiidings, we had conflicting reports. Two days earlier Lord Cornwallis had burned ids heavy baggage at Ramsour’s mill, ar.d so we had assurance that the pursuit was only delayed. But wheth er, when lie should break his camp at Forney's plantation, he would go north ward after Morgan and the prisoners, or cross the river at some nearhand ford to chase our main, none of our scouts could tell us. We were guessing s.t this, Richard anu I, as we Jogged on togetner down the river road, and were agreed that could my lord cross the flooded river without loss of time, Ills better chance would be to fall upon our main at Sal isbury or thereabouts. But as to tho possibility of his crossing, we fell apat t. “Lacking another drop of rain, we are safe for forty-eight hours yet," Dick would say: pointing to the brim ming river rolling its brown flood at our right as we fared on. "And with two days’ start we shall have him burn ing more than his camp wagons to overtake us." (Continued Next Weak.) Early Washington Souvenirs. Philadelphia Record: A Philadel phian descended from William R. Bur ton, a resident of Sussex county, Del., at the beginning of the last century, has lately come into possession of a souvenir handkerchief of the city of Washington, made in the very year of its foundation. It Is marked MDCCC. (1S00), and is doubtless one of a large number that were sold as mementoes at the time when the capital was re moved from Philadelphia. The mag nificent plan of the brilliant Charles L'Knfant is reproduced in red on a field of white. Today, of course, the first system <'f avenues as the old map shows them r>e actually populous and thriving thoroughfares. But in 1800 the plan wa3 largely fictional. Forests occupied 'root of what is now the mod ern city of Washington, and beyond the capitol there were practically no build ings of importance. With characteristic American opti mism, however, the city plan is given in full, with the same elaboration of detail that has since erected many a populous metropolis in the various “boom” districts of the United States.

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, itdoes not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstrua tion is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should bo set right or it will lead to a serious de ' rangement of the whole female organ ism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound overcomes pain ful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of es cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following K .tors tell so con vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davi sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ Your medicine is indeed an Ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down {rains. I consulted two different physicians rat failed to get any relief. A friend from the East advised ruo to try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound I did so, and no longer suffer as 1 did before. My periods are natural; every ache anil pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who sulfur to tako Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.” Mrs. Tillic Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I might have have been spared many months of suffering and pain had t only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetablo Compound sooner; fori have tried so many remedies without help. “I dreaded the approach of my menstrual period every month, ns it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after I had used tb® Compound two months I liecame regular and natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain at my monthly periods. I am very grateful for v/liat Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound has done for me.” Such testimony should be accepted by all womeu ns convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as » remedy for all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon' the well-earned gratitude of American women. When women arc troubled with Irreg ular, suppressed or painful menstrua tion, leueorrhoea, displacement or ul ceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flatu lency), general debility, indigestion and nervou- prostration, or are beset with, such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried1 and true remedy, Lydia E.

The romantic story of how the lnte Dr. Arnold Pann, one of the foremost lawyers of Vienna, laid the foundation for his wealth, is related in the news papers of that city. About a quarter of a century ago, a local Jeweler named DU died, leaving a fortune of 7.000,000 florins. He was a bachelor, and he left no will, nor were the courts able to find out tlie name or whereabouts of any of his relatives. Arnold Pann devoted himself to the task of finding them. For months he followed clues in Aus tria and Germany, and was finally re warded by finding not one or two rela ! lives, but thirty. The money was handed out to him to be equally di vided among the claimants, while he himself received 250,000 florins, a record fee. During the night when he had tlie seven millions in his house, he ap pointed the thirty heirs guardians of the sum. Some of the heirs promptly squandered their shares, and one of them came back to Dr. Pann to see if he could get another slice.
