i 1 . . ... . HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky. In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows : "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com menced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him.

Eoo-B A NIHILIST'S LUCKY ESCAPE Saved From Siberiaby the Wit of a Girl. "I aui going to St. Petersburg ou u mlssiou," said a uiliilist iu New York to a fellow worker. "Do you know iny one there who will shield me if :ornered?" The question was answered by a itory. , Not long ago I was there myself. One day I was directed to carry a bun Ile of printed revolutionary documents .from our rooms to the house of a mem ber In a different part of the city. 1 ,'itudiously avoided any haste, saunter ing along as though 1 had no wish to be at the end of my route. At a street crossing, glancing aside to avoid being run down by some vehicle; I saw a man stanamg .on tue opposite corner with his eyes fixed intently upon me. tie had his hands in his pockets and was apparently loitering, but the mo ment he saw,, that I noticed him he started off briskly In the opposite di rection from what I was going. Nevertheless he did not lose sight of me. I bad not gone far when, in order to be able to look back without my de sign being oiisppcted. I stopped before 1 shop window, glancing rearward out of the corner of my eye. 1 was just In time to see the man I was looking for disappear in tin alley. 1 was now thoroughly frightened. Without doubt he was shadowing me. For some time I watched him with one eye and the policeman I happened to see by the way with the other. We nihilists, of course, all knew the location of the police stations and the residences . of the officers. Suddenly noticing that I was passing the house of the chief of the district. It occurred to me to 'play a desperate game. I re solved to bluff my watcher Into the be lief that he was after the wrong man by boldly entering the house. What Under heaven I was to do there I did not know. Mounting a few steps, 1 tried the door. It was locked, but at the moment was opened by a young lady in hat and wraps, evidently about to come out. I stepped Inside without an invitation and closed the door. "May I speak with you a moment?" I asked, removing my hat. The parlor door was open, and as I looked wistfully Into the room she mo tloued me to enter, then followed. I turned and faced her, studying by her expression what kind of a person I had to deal with. Then I spoke in a low voice, seriously, pleadingly. "You have the life of a fellow being In your keeping." "I?" "Yes; 1 am a nihilist. In this pack age are revolutionary documents. A cnan outside has been shadowing me. He will come in to make sure that I am not what he suspects. The result Will be Siberia. Rather than that death!" 1 took a revolver from my pocket, "If I am discovered trying to save you it means ruin for me and my fa ther, lie would go to Siberia instead of you." "You are right." I replied. "I will not ask or accept such a sacrifice." I placed the muzzle of the revolver In my mouth and drew, back the ham mer. Before I could pull the trigger I felt a soft hand on my arm. ' "Undo your package," she said. "Be quick!" I untied the strings and unfolded the paper. The girl, snatching a dozen books from the library, tossed them to me. I put them In the place of the documents and tied up the package. 1 bad not quite finished when there was a ring at the doorbell. Throwing the documents under the sofa, the young lady went to answer the summons. I seated myself on the sofa, holding the package in my lap. When the door was opened I heard voices in the ball. "Is the colonel at borne?" "No; my father Is out." "1 am one of the secret police. A man has come In here whose name is on the black list. It is quite probable that he is playing a double game, pre tending to work for your father." "There is a man in the parlor, a mes senger from a friend of mine who has sent him to return some books I lent her." "Can I see him?" "Certainly." My shadower entered. "Stand up." he said. I ' did as he commanded, and he searched me. Not finding anything to compromise me, he untied the package and found the books. He was not sat isfied, but here was nothing for Mini to do but acquiesce. No one is to be trusted in Itussia, and even this daugh ter of a police otlicial was suspected by the man. as I could see by his looks. "I am sorry to have to disturb you." he said to her, "but when I come to recount the matter to your father 1 am sure he will bear me out in what I have done. Good morning." The narrator ceased and the listener asked: "The name of this young girl?" "Not for my life wouid I give it." "Ah. well. I can't blame yon. What did you do next?" "I was ordered by our chief to leave the couutry as soon as I could do so without ex iting attention. He feared that. In addition to being in jeopardy myself, I would bring down (he police on all the rest of our society. I made an attempt to leave the same night, succeeded, nude for the coast and em barked for America." Cost of Living. Chicago looks for a continual rise in beef prices.

A century survey of the growth of the United States in population, com merce and industry is presented In a pamphlet, "Statistical Record of the Progress of the United States, 1880 1913," just issued by the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce, depart ment of commerce. The publication contains monetary, commercial and financial statistics of this country and, in less detailed form, those of the prin cipal nations of the world and the share which the United States supplies of their Imports and takes of their ex ports. In area the United States is shown to have increased from 892,135 square miles In 1800 to 3,02G,7S In 1913 and in population from 5,308,483 to 97.028,- 1 497, exclusive of the island territories FARMER LAD ONCE, NOW CONGRESSMAN f'k) rafcuiMMiliilHMIMIihHililHlirilMlfi '-" f' Tatfflf Tffr Simeon T.

Mean time the production of basic articles of industry shows marked growth: Coal, from 20 tons in lStl to 477,000,000 in 1912; pig iron, from 54.000 tons in 1810 to 30,000,000 in 1!12: copper, from 100 tons in 1S43 to 55S.000 in T.I12; petro leum, from 84.0(H) gallons in 1859 to over 9,000.000,000 gallons in 1012; cot ton from 73,000 running bales of oOO pounds each in 1800 to 14.ooo.ooo in 1912: wheat, from 84.000.000 bushels in 140 to 730,000 ,000 In 1912, and corn, from 378,000,000 bushels in 1840 to over 3,000,000.000 in 1912. while simi lar increases are noted in other prod ucts of agriculture, mining and manu facture.

Voices Heard From Airships. We wonder how many people realize the extraordinary extent to which it is possible to hear from an airship at night. A man snoring in bed can acv tually be heard from a great altitude, and at 4,000 feet, says a pilot, it is possible to hear "people talking, dogs, sheep, cartwheels, tramway cars, troops marching, transport, artillery, cavalry, and this without training." For scouting purposes, aerial craft, even in the present stage of their de velopment, must thus be most extra ordinarily valuable. London Globe. A Quotation.
