I waa a great sufferer from organic female troubles for years, and almost despaired of ever being well again. I had bearing-down pains, backache, headache and pains in my abdomen, and tried Mrs.

Pinkham's Compound as a last resort. The result was astonishing, and I have used it and advocated it ever since. It is a great boon to expectant mothers. I have often said that I should like to have its merits thrown on the sky with a search-light so that women would read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their sufferings.

A Country Woman's Club. The purpose of the Country Women's club, recently organized In Mober-ly, is to keep the boys and girls on the farm.

Mrs. Mae Crose, secretary of the club, wrote to Dr. H. J. Waters, dean of the college of agriculture of the University of Missouri, to ask what can be done to keep the young folks Interested in country life.

The women hope to enlist the men with them after the hard farm work la over In the summer and all work together to keep the boys and girls Interested In farm life. Dean Waters wrote this In reply: "You are undertaking something of lnestlmatable value to our country if carried out, and we shall be glad to help you in any way in our power. I doubt If books will be the right end at which to begin. They are dry to boys and girls. Perhaps lectures or demonstrations or corn growing contests for the boys and landscape gardening contests for the girls, or sewing and cooking contests would be better for the beginning, we can nnniv seed for a boys corn growing contest, and you could easily get the people of Moherly, I have no aount, to offer premiums.

Hold to corn show at your schoolhouse this fall, at which time someone from the college of agriculture could come and lecture. Or th matter could take even a larger form, and a farm boys' encampment mleht he held In your community, un der thn auspices of the state board of agriculture. Let me know what you think of these plans, ana we win oe elad to heln you with them, or with any other plans that may occur to you or to us in the meantime. I congratu late vmi nnon the work you have un dertaken." Miss Rosa Nlse is presi dent of the Country Women club. A Bit of History.

The agitation in the legislature fcr a new state capitol brought out the following history of the old building in one of the Gov. Hartley's messages: The first state capitol was built upon the site of the present executive mansion. The construction began in 1823 and. was completed in 1826, at a cost of $25,000. This building was constructed of brick and was designed for the temporary use of the legislative and executive departments of the state government, with the idea that later it would he used as a residence for the governor.

But in 1837 this building was destroyed by fire, together with the accumulated records of 17 years. The present state capitol, or that part of the present state capitol exclusive of the north and south wings, wag be-gun In 1838 and was completed in 1840 at an expense of $350,000. The two wings were added in 1887. The building as at present constructed is entirely inadequate for the executive and legislative departments, i There is not a strictly fire proof vault In the entire building, and any day the state may meet with the same experience that It met with 72 years ago, when it lost all Of the state's records through the destruction of the state capitol by fire. Methodists Head the List.

TIME. It Is not known when this epistle was written, but probably "between A. D. 40 and SO not later than A. D.

62. "-Hastings' Bible Dictionary. was written at James home, Jerusalem. Suggestion and Practical Thought Three disciples named James are found In the New Testament: 1. James the son of Zebedee, sometimes called the Great.

He was the brother of John, was very close to Jesus at the crises of his life, and waa the first of the twelve to suffer martyrdom (Acts 12: 2). 2. James the son of Alphaeus, one of the twelve apostles, probably a brother of Matthew, who also is called a son of Alphaeus. He is usually indentlfled with James the Little (or the Less), and nothing is known of his life. 3.

James the brother of our Lord, the author of the Epistle. Luther, mistakenly thinking that, especially in the passage we are to study, it opposed Paul's great doctrine of Justification by faith, once called It "a letter of straw;" but afterward he saw his error. "The tone cl the whole Epistle Is practical, earnest and stern In parts." Canon Maclear, D. D. Dr.

Deems called It "the Gospel of common sense," and (with the Sermon on the Mount) "the most valuable textbook on morals in possession of the world." Roswell D. Hitchcock, LL. "once said that the application of the Epistle of James In the region of economy is that which alone can save our civilization, and it is reported of the third earl of Balcarras that he was accustomed to express himself as delighted with the Epistle of James as "the production of a Deems. "The structured the Epistle 4b altogether informal and unsystematic." Plumptre. It Is one of the seven Catholic Epistles, so called because written to the whole church, to correct common faults and give the comfort and inspiration needed by all in those times of trial.

James has been speaking of those that take credit to themselves for hearing the law and observing the out ward forms of religion, while at the same time they bow down before the rich and scorn the poor. In this pas sage he goes on to insist that all such religion is empty, a mere profession of faith without the deeds that prove It Faith, as Paul Jennies it, "worketh by love" (Gal. Faith, as Luther said, "is a lively, busy, active thing, so that it is Impossible for it not to be ceaselessly working good it does not ask if good works' are to be done, but before it asks It has done them, and is ever doing." Such faith does save a man. But "throughout James's discussion the name 'faith' is taken In a broad and general sense, covering any degree of acceptance of Christian truth." Prof. Johnstone.

James was writ ing to the Jews of the "dispersion" (Jas. 1: 1). "Men dwelling as those Jews dwelt, in the midst of a heathen population, were tempted to trust for their salvation to their descent from Abraham (compare Matt. 3: 9) and to their maintaining the unity of tbe Godhead as against the polytheism and Idolatry of the nations. They repeated their creed (known, from its first Hebrew word, as the Shema), Hear, Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord' (Deut.

6: 4). It entered Into the morning and evening services ol the synagogue. It was uttered by tha dying as a passport to tbe gates of paradise. It was to this that they referred the words of Habakkuk that the Just should live by faith (Hab. 2: 4)." Cambridge Bible.

Such faith, which was merely outward and formal religion, did soma good. It preserved Its subject from the defilements of heathenism; but in their place it established a pride and exclusiveness that were almost as bad. Paul distrusted it as much as James, and would have Joined in the question, "What doth it profit?" V. 26. James closes th discussion with a forcible simile: "As the body without (literally, "apart the spirit Is dead, so faith without, works is dead also." "Of our own human wisdom we bad been rather Inclined to say that works were likest to the body, and faith to the breath or animation thereof." E1H-cott.

"But the apostle's view seema rather to be this: Faith is the body, the sun and substance of the Christian life; works (obedience), the moving and quickening of that body, Just as the spirit is the moving and quickening principle of the natural body." Dean Alford. James does not enter into the question which must come first, faith or works. It is perfectly plain that he considers both to be necessary (see also v. 24). So does Paul.

There is no contradiction between the two, only a difference of emphasis. Robertson's illustration is tbe light nlng and the thunder. Effective lightning (not harmless heat lightning) is always accompanied by thunders, as faith is always accompanied by works. It is tbe lightning and not the thunder that strikes the tree, but never the thunderless lightning. So it la faith that Justifies, but never the worklesi faith.

Archbishop Whately's famous illustration of a boat pulled by two oars, "faith" and "works," and going In a circle when one alone is used, is defective because it Implies that faith vt works can exist alone DEATH OF COUNT VON HAAKE. Hl Tragic End In Wilderness Graphic ally Described by Comrade, Now the Only Living Witness. The Nation Tribune recently pub lished a brief history of the Fifty-sec ond New York regiment, of which Count Von Haake was a member ana caDtain of Company G. His death oc curred at Po River, on May 10, 1864, and la best told by Btepnen w. Coakley of Chicago.

It la as follows: 1 am probably the only one living who witnessed the thrilling and tragic death of Count Von Haake. It occurred at Po River, May 10, 1864. Count Von Haake was the captain ol my company (G), and about midday on the 10th our regiment (the Fifty-second New York) advanced and occupied a position In a dense wood, where we encountered the rebel skirmishers, who stubbornly resisted oui He Fell Beside Me, Shot Through th Chest. advance, a resistance in which the; wure aided by their batteries, whicb commenced a vigorous shelling of the woods in our immediate vicinity. This resulted In igniting the brush, and soon the entire undergrowth wag aflame and slowly but surely consuming the trees surrounding us, making our position untenable and forcing us to retreat.

Capt Von Haake was the last to give the command to retreat, which he did in a guttural, discordant tone, the result of a wound in the neck which he had received In a previous battle, and from the effect of whicb he had but recently recovered. When he gave the command to retreat he stood but a few feet from me, and scarcely bad he uttered the words when he fell beside me, shot through the chest. A hasty examina tion revealed that his wound was mor tal, as he immediately became unconscious, although breathing heavily. Of course, under ordinary circumstances nothing would be done beyond permitting him to remain where he fell, but the fire which was now last gaining on us made such a thought agonizing in the extreme, and I de termined, if possible, to bear him be yond the reach of the flames, which had rendered our situation so alarm ing that our men became panic stricken and sought safety in flight There remained with me but one comrade. At this late day I am not cer tain as to who that one was, but I think it was W.

H. Mowby, of our company, and If I am mistaken 1 desire to be corrected. We raised the almost inanimate form and placed It across our rifles, which we carried "hand-barrow fashion" for Borne 50 yards 'through flame and smoke. Un der favorable circumstances this would be accomplished in a few seconds, but It took us fully ten minutes, owing to the fact that the dense smoke which surrounded us would not permit us to see anything, and consequently the many blind rushes we made against trees greatly retarded our progress, and we then discovered that the flames had so gained on us as to be In our front as well as in our rear. Our situation now had become most critical, and warned us plainly that we must abandon our hapless and helpless burden in order to save our own lives, and another hasty examination showed us that he was still breath ing heavily, and we then left him, In the hope that life would be extinct ert the flames reached the body.

In abandoning him to his fate we had previously done all that mortal could do under such distressing and alarming conditions, and had nothing to blame ourselves for, a statement In which I am sure my comrade, if still living, will bear me out should he happen to read these lines. I had previously noted on entering the wood from the clearing that we had advanced about 200 yards at the time of retreat, and deducting the 60 yards already covered there remained about 150 yards of burning bush which still separated us from the clearing. We unstrapped our blankets from our knapsacks and spread them over our heads and shoulders to protect us from the flames, and it took full; ten minutes in blindly groping and butting against trees to reach the clearing. We then rejoined our regiment, and reported the death of Count Von Haake to our company commander, Sergt, William Westerhold, who, however, was too busy to listen to the harrowing details as Inserted here, and they aro now made public for th firs', time. If 1 can be of any assistance bctorenand.

FRANK T. HUNTER, President, THE TRUSTEE COMPANY, Central Seattle. Wash. While yet their Winter paisseth slow Here blooms perennial their Spring; And here the pledge of Hope they bring And Love that dieth not, bestow. Where once their heart of youth waa fain Its rich florescence, white and red, Upon the field of strife to shed-Folded, the petals that remain; The morning glories of their youth That drooped not In the midday drought-Have shut on Peace; as to a stem Stripped bare, the banners cling of them All, hath the beauty vanished vain Their glory to Invoke again.

About the feet of these that stand Beside the headstone, hand In hand. Who once were foes their children kneel And break the close turf's emerald seal. To let the sweet rain find the roots Of grass and flower, and the shoots Of rose and myrtle bid to grow. That, o'er the dust in love entwined. Shall breathe upon the Summer wind Sweets from the mold they bless below.

Ah, let the banners come and go For old remembrance; dip them low Above the Dead that dared and died; God knoweth who are Justified. 4bout Ills Work He moveth slow; The roses fall, the roses blow-He will not hasten tho' we flood The Earth with our impatient blood Nor that avail, of all we shed, To paint one rose a deeper red. Nor heeds the Rose, If of the clay Beneath, the tint be blue or gray; Nor Love, while human 'tis to err. Shall be Truth's hard Interpreter. Plant nothing over me, that keeps My heart apart from him that sleep As faithful In his narrow bed As I in mine shall; with the Dead The Dead are reconciled nor we Dare break their hallowed amity.

Plant then the myrtle; blue and whit Its flower, as Southern suns delight To deep Its tint or Northern snows To blanch its color; plant the rose Both white and red and for the stars The periwinkle; fade the bars Of separation; stripes as red As the one blood their fathers shed. Bring ye, and bind the Peace that saves In unity, these sacred graves. The Flag! their sacred heritage. Their children's children shall engage, Their sponsors In a new baptism For them to cherish; let that chrism On their dead brows descend, and bless The ancient bond of faithfulness With Its renewal; bo shall we March onward to great destiny; Nor one untoward memory stand Between us, in tho Motherland. -John Harrison Mills, In The Sunday Mngazlne.

The Change i of Years -t-4''H'WH'-M'H' HE sentiment which surrounded Memorial day with feelings of sacred character, when It was Inaugurated 41 years ago, has In a measure passed away with the lapse of time. Then the majority of the people of the United States had the graves of fathers, sons or brothers who had given their lives to the union to mark for honor and tender recollection. The memories of the great struggle for the union and freedom were enhanced by personal memories of the dead. The lapse of years has wrought an inevitable change. Even to the older part of the community who retain the memory of the civil war and its heroes the freshness of the recollection Is lessened by, the passage of time.

The greater part of the community Is a new generation, whose knowledge of the eventB originally designed to be commemorated Is obtained by reading or at second hand, without tue force of personal memory. Naturally, therefore, the progress of time has made Memorial day an anniversary of honor for the principle of patriotism and of the memories of the dead, more than a revival of the personal feelings that hallowed the first two iJide. of tbe observance.
