taking, so she immediately
began giving it to me. In a
few days I got all right.
“Last fall I got run-down
in health. I was weak and
puny and I began to suffer. I
would get so I could hardly
walk. Having taken Cardui
before, I sent to the store for
a bottle of it. Almost from
the first dose I could feel an
improvement.
"Cardui has helped me a
lot and I am glad to recom-
mend it. I don’t feel like
the same woman I was last
fall. My appetite is good
now, and I’m sure it’s Cardui
that’s made it pick up.”

Their life had been very hap-

Then one morning the wife came
down to breakfast morose and
wretched. She was snappish
with her husband. She would
hardly speak to him. And for a
long while she refused to ex-
plain her unwonted conduct.
Finally, though, the young man
insisted that he be told why his
wife was treating him so badly.
She looked up with tears in her
eyes, and said:

that you kissed another woman

as to why he did not hold to the

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY
TO EXPAND IN TEXAS
“Artificial” Flowers.
Embarrassing.
Smithson met Brown in the
street one morning.
“Hallo!” said Smithson. “I
hear you’re engaged. Allow me
to congratulate you, old man.”
“You’re rather late,” answer-
ed Brown. “I was engaged.”
“Really!” said Smithson.
“Well, to tell the truth, I think
you’re lucky. That girl had
neither brains nor beauty. How
did you manage to break it off?
“I didn’t,” replied Brown.
“Then how did you manage to
get out of the engagement?”
“Oh,” said Brown,

pears that Texas has taken that
distinction away from her per-
manently. The lower price of
corn last year kept down the
Iowa crop values, it is true, but
cotton has been selling at
lower price also during the fall
months. The price of corn has
not been much lower, relatively
speaking,' than has the price of
cotton, so that the relative
standing of the two states was
not greatly affected by the price
declines.
Since Texas received no little
unfavorable publicity last year
about its alleged poor crop, it is
only fair to correct the mis
apprehensions created concern
ing conditions in Texas by em-
phasizing at this time the splen-
did record the state actually
made in agriculture last year.
Texas, with an $800,000,000 crop
for the year, and leading such
states as Iowa, which had a crop
worth $477,000,000, California,
with a crop worth $469,000,000,
and Illinois, with $459,000,000,
surely has a supremacy that will
not fail to impress the whole
country. No, Texas lacks a
great deal of being “financially
embarrassed,” because of a sec-
tion drouth during a part of one
year.
state in the union where farm
growth is keeping pace with city
growth and this accounts for the
generous portion allotted, a part
of which funds are now avail-
able so that rural routes may be
started at once instead of wait-
ing until the beginning of the
fiscal year in July.
Of the 430 new routes to be
established under the new appro-
T married Potion 97 are in Texas, the
next largest number being 36 in
Mississippi. There will also be
176 extensions and 24 increases
in frequency in this state.
It was in October, 1896, that
the first experimental rural de-
livery service was established,
and the first county to be com-
pletely covered by rural mail
service was Carroll county,
Maryland. The new departure
at that time of distributing mail
in the rural districts has grown
to such proportions that not
many counties throughout the
country are without such con-
venience, and the service has
At one time there were eleven
routes out of Honey Grove, but
one was transferred to Windom
and some consolidations were
made and there are now only 9.
These serve our territory well.
