Motherhood T^OTHERHOOD is the reward nature 1T1 bestow* upon healthy womanhood. Women whose vitality has been sapped by disease cannot safely give birth to chil dren. In pregnancy ana in childbirth weak ness of the mother is revealed in the pain and agony she suffers. J This great medicine drives out every Yea- 1 tige of inflammation and weakness, and ] gives tone and strength to the delicate or gans which mature the child. The pains of pregnancy are banished by Wine of Cardui, and mis carriages, which blast so many fond mother's hopes, are prevented. Flooding, which so often occurs alter childbirth, is corrected when Wine of Cardui is used during pregnancy. v, Cardui babies are healthy babies, because, oaring the months ot pregnancy, the mother is able to give them necessary vitality and strength. , With these facts presented to American women no expectant mother should be satisfied without the re-inforcement that W ine of Cardui willgive^er. Every mother should be able to treat herself in her home with this valuable medicine. W ine of Cardui can be secured from any druggist at $ 1 .00 a bottle. _ - . Polycarp, N. C., Jan. 11, 1902. . I am the mother of seven children and while in pregnancy with the rrstsiz suffered untold misery until they were born. One month before the seventh was born I began to take a bottle of Wine of Cardui, which gave me relief after taking three doses. I used the remainder of the bottle until the birth of the child, and was stouter in three days after the birth than I was in a month aftex the birth of either of the first six. I am 29 years old.

D::wr >loney. In former times when traveling was not so safe as in the twentieth century the judges often needed an eseort when passing from one town to another on circuit. It was the duty of Newcastle in provide such protection for the jour ney between that town and Carlisle. As time went on the actual provision of a guard was replaced by the pay ment of money for the purpose, and it was this contribution that became known as "dagger money." To this day the old custom is kept up, and at the Newcastle assizes the judge re ceives from the mayor a coin that is : probably itself a curiosity and also serves as an interesting souvenir of this strange survival.?

Instantly young Webster thrust out his left hand, which was so much j dirtier the teacher could not restrain a smile, but he kept his word, and Dan iel took his seat without punishment. >'o Speech.
