WilUcc AGENT . No Operation Mrs. Mallnda Akers, of Basham, Va writes: "I had what doctors call 'prolapse,' and couldn't stand straight. I had pain in my back and shoulders, and was very irregular and profuse. Doctors said an operation was needed, but I couldn't bear the thought of the knife. After tak ing three bottles of Wine of Cardui, I could walk around. Can now do my housework and am in splendid health." Cardui is a pure, vegetable, medicinal essence, especially adapted to cure women's diseases. It relieves excessive peripdical pains, regulates irregularities, ana is a safe, . pleasant and re liable remedy for all sick women. In suc cessful use for over 70 years. Try it.

The fear of the husband was nToused and ho, too, for a time, promised to be troublesome. But, after heroic treat ment of the couple's fears on board tho Pennsylvania train, the trip was made, and the ginnri shook tho presi dent's hand. At tho Regent the giant's wife be came almost hysterical, She meant for her husband to see tho king at onco. Why not? She said that it took only flvo minutes to see tho emperor of Go "many and just a few minutes more to see the king of England. So tho trip to the whitohouso wub made immediately. Tho president was not there. Next, tho president's of fice, whero thero was a long wait. Sec retary Root was in conference with Ma. Roosevelt. Tho giant was ushered into tho of fico of Mr. Loeb, whore 'he sat down. BuA some ono showed him a pieture of the p"osident. Tho giant arose and refused) to sit down again. After viowing tho picture ho was not sure that ho was in the president's oflico, because ho had) not seen soldiers in gorgeous uniforms and had observed a lack of ceremony. Ho 'and his wife bad contended tha they wero being misled, because they had scan pieces of America money and had observed that Roosevelt's pioturo was not on -them. But when Parson Dnvies, a little lat er, placed tho giant 'e hand in 'tho pres ident's and said, '-'I take pleasure in introducing tho biggest man an tho world to tho greatest,", the giant's suspenso was over. Bo was nervous. His hand' trembled, His great knees knocked together. His abnormal frame shook. He had met the precident of the "United States. He was sure, and ho 'looked satisfied, B had looked for a roan in splendid uniform, but hadl met a man in summer white. Tho president said: 'Ho is the biggest man I ever taw." Tho giant ebserved: "When I look at your king I think I look ab tho emperor of Germany." Then the meeting was over. President Roosevelt put his arm around t Parson Davies and dragged him into his pri vate oflico. Tho giant was ushered out, where ibis wife met him witb a smile, the firs she had) given bim fan hours.

An Appreciation. Tlio World's Work of New York, in an ndmi'mblo editorial, says that "ovon with earthquakes, California is ono of itho most attractive pu-ts of tho world, and has moro udvnntngcs than any other state in tho Union. And San Francisco was and alwnys will bo tho metropolis, tho counting house, tho gateway of this land. Noth ing less than the destruction of tho Tjolden Onto could change its destiny. It has, perhaps, the , most attractive slto on either, ocean,; or between them. It will bo rebuilt betlcr than it was and, safe? and worthier o its bills and haTbor. And suck a spcctnclo ins tho rising of San Fran cisco will preseaiit for a year or, two was ptchap novor seen in tho bulldiug of any city." i Tho robuiliUng of Chicago, the editor thinks, "was less dramatic, cormnenrco and fiimnca wore not t so well organized and tho courago nud energy of Chicago woro hardly a match for tho bounding euMiusiasm of tho Callforninns, Thero was novor among men such 'a, spirit of selfconfldoHce, such- local iri(h', such an organized certainty of ft, gfefet destiny, such a community of purpose." And tho con clusion is that "this poTt of a great Undo In tho future will now nppral to tho imagination even moro sbroagly" Mian before nnd ' ' will becomo one of tho great as well ns ono of tho fasci nating cities of ths' world." lttwiHi, J CZLym&fc mtmmeimml
