CECIL THE FIRST.
Rhodes, "The Man Who Eats a Coun
try for His Breakfast."
A veiy readable character sketch of
Cecil Khodcs appears In Alnslee's, writ
ten by Allen Sangrce, a correspondent
recently returned fiom South Africa.
He says In part:
"In the land that beats his name.
Cecil Rhodes lecelves the homage of
a monarch. He stands for the country'
rise or full. Ho Is the source of good
nnd evil; pialsed for completing a lnll
road and blamed for a continued
drought. Among white men ho Is a
subject of hero wot ship. To black men
lie leprrsentVhc whole of the Anglo
Saxon race. They call him 'Sepatator
of Hulls.' 'Son of the Great White
Queen' and 'the man who oats a coun
try for his breakfast.' To them he Is
Destiny Itself.
"The 111 st thing you notice about Mr.
Tthodes Is nn absence of aff?i.titlon.
He. receives ullke the day laborer and
tho foreign minister. In voice, manner
and conduct he Is ever the same. Noth
ing Is studied. Unlike most human be
ings, he is not nn actor. There is noth
ing msteilous about him. Ho mnkea
use of no subterfuge, but comes
straight to the point. In conversation
ho lmots lour eve squarely and Im
iu esses you with his sincerity. 'I could,
not stand out against him.' wnlled
Harney Hatnato when berated by n
ft lend for merging Ills diamond Inter
ests with the Do Heers Syndicate. 'lb
Just loped me In l oped me In became
I knew he spoke the truth.'
"This Ingenuousness dlsaims you one
moment, but engages your admiration
the next. It Is Instantly forced upon
you that here Is a man who holds life
too soi Ions and bilef for a maqueiadt,
whose thoughts aie detached fiom
petty and engrossed In vast Ideas. Mr.
Uhodcs glviM eildoneo of this by
breaking off conveisatlon ttliui It be
comes small, and concentiatlng his
mind on some entirely foielgn subject.
iUIODHS THINKS IN TONS.
"You need not talk with Mi. Khodcs
lite minutes to learn that ho Is a think
er. Dr. Jameson and other lieutenants
who hate achieved more or less dis
tinction stem but as moths tl.ting nbout
an a io light. They think In penny
weights; Khodcs in tons. He never
bothers In detnlls; they take care ot
thomseltes. 'Half the time he does not
even have; pocket money. Tiavellng
on a sttoet car In Cape Town one dav,
ho found himself without the nocts
siry 'tocky' (threepence), and accepted
a loan.
" 'Khodcs,' exclaimed the American
conductor, in writhing saicasm. 'Dusty
Itoads. I guess.' Indeed, tho Colossus
looked i.ithet dusty, having been on a
ft. imp along the docks. The detail of
diess, however, is one to which ho Is
especially indiffrient. Ills favorite
gaib is a white tlannel shllt with i
polk ulot tie, sotet felt hat and modest
giaj oi black c lollies. He wears no dia
monds. In this costume 1 saw him call
upon Sir Alfied Mllner. at the Kxecu
tlvo Mansion. 'The flunkv at tho door,
net ei theless. cracked his spine n mak
ing an obolsince.
"Hut Mr. Hhodes' clothes attract
:our attention last, so domineering, al
most opmesslve, is his piesence Not
tliat ho Is unlike othei men an Im
mune to human passion, fiatlties and
lUMiilcs. Far Horn It. I noticed that
he gieatl enjojs a good cigai, drinks
Scotch whiskey and champagne.
HIS INDIPriHtHNCIJ TO WOMHN.
"Cecil Hhodes Is a keen obeiter, a
philosopher, shtowd of wit, not gh en
to lonir speeches, bt.it e. and lavish
with money whin ho thinks It piodt
ablo to be so. ills countenance is not
an encoui aging study foi the senti
mental. In the knowledge of South
Afi leans he has never shown attention
to any woman. Disappoint d-ln-lnvo
stoiies about him go the t omuls at In
tel tnls. but aie never teiltled. Then;
seemf. to bu little loom In bis make-up
for that sort of tiling. He ticitt th?
gentler se with indifference and even
nidonoiw. Fot his two sisteis alone
does ho exhibit fondness, and they, in
tin n, liato the icpulatlor. of being
'mnn-hateis.'
"Nothing aggt.it ates Mt. Khodcs
nioie than for one of the Chattel ed
company's omplotes to get mairied. I
came down from Helta on a Hot man
steamer with a newly wedded couple
who weio letuinlng to Hngland most
dejected. The bildegroom hid been u
trustee! lieutenant In Khodes'a, and
went homo on a leave of absence at his
genei.U's suggestion. When ho le
tuineil with a losy-oheeked bride, how
otor. Hhodes jecelved him coldly, nnd
rental ked shortly that the climate In
South Africa was ruinous to a woman's
beauty.
"While this might be cotistiucd as a
'littleness," It Is a pecullatlty of the
man that falls In line with his life's
aim and woik He holds that tho un
man led mail will take gteater risks
and accomplish moto for him on the
filngo of civilization. He looks at It in
a purely business way. and Is willing
to pay th- highest prices for the most
ctllclent woik.
"Khodes" face and form command
jour lespect. His fotchead Is maBslve.
Tho gias)i light hair lays rather close
to bis head, and is inclined to cut I. The

A Message t Mothers.
There is a place in the pilgrimage of life where
the fondest husband must unclasp hi wife's hand
and let her go on alone to tread the "Valley of the
shadow of death." Presently, perhaps, she comes
back to him, white and wan, a babe at her breast
and a new light in her eyes, the light of the dawn
of motherhood. And sometimes the husband
gropes through blinding tears to a white, cold bed,
to look upon a white, cold face, which cannot feel
the kiss which falls upon it.
Motherhood is the supreme glory of woman.
And, spite of pain and peril, in endless generations
she treads that "valley of the shadow," happy to
come back again to life and light with the mag
nificat of Mary upon her lips.
No man can shaie either the mysteries or miseries
of motherhood. Only a mother, who has tasted
the same cup of blended sweet and bitter can sym
pathize with a mother. Only a mother can fitly
have a message for other mothers. And this mes
sage for mothers comes from those who speak by
right of suffering.
The greatest and grandest message that any
mother could hear would be this : Motherhood is
robbed of its pangs and perils. It is possible to be
the "joyful mother of children" without the pre
natal anxiety atul'depression, or the post-natal weak
ness and suffering so generally asso
ciated with maternity. That is the
substance of this message of mothers
to mothers.
A GRATEFUL MOTHER,
"About two years ago I was
confined to my bed," writes
Mrs. T. A. Ragan, of Norris,
Watauga Co., N. C. "I could
not move without trembling all
over. The doctor said it was
liver, stomach and heart troub
le. About a year ago when my
husband consulted you for tnc
I could not sleep, nor eat any
thing without jreat distress in
my stomach. I soon received
jour kind advice and began the
use ot your medicine
cured me of my
troubles, such a9
sick headaches, from
which I suffered fif
teen years, and an
aching in my back
and legs, constipa
tion, bloating in my
face, hands, feet and
legs, and such pains
and heaviness in my
loiter parts, I could
not stand on my feet.
These have I suffer
ed from for nine
years. I have taken
three bottles of your
1 Favorite Prescrip
tion,' two of Gold
en Medical Discov
ery,' and some of
your Pleasant Pel
lets.' The medi
cines have cured me
of fullness in my stomach, for which I could not rest, and
many other bid feelings. It saved my baby's life, ns I had
had 'miscarriages before and could do nothing to prevent
them. I thuht there was no chance this time, but bv the
use of Dr. Pierce's wonderful medicine;. I got stouter ail the
time instead of weaker With all my other children I suf
fered all that Icsh could, and live. At birth tiottld suffer
so long and hard would be almost helpless for several dajs;
could not bear any noise nor talk much; could not get out
of bed under two 'necks without help. This time when I
was confined I was not as bad, did not suffer very hard nor
very long. My neighbors were surprised to sec me laugh
and talk with them, I got up the thiid day without any
help, sat up for a short tune and felt it ell enough to sit up
all day. Could have gone to work in two weeks. I have
not been as easy to take cold iince I took your medicine, as
I was before, I am well and hearty, can sleep well all night,
and clo a good day's work without feeling tired at mgjit. I
cannot tell half what Dr. Pierce's medicine has done lor me.
It will do all that is claimed for it. prevent miscarriage and
render childbirth easy. It has given me a bright little boy,
and I would not have had him had it not been for your won
derful medicine. I cannot say too much in praise of it; I
think it is worth its weight iii gold. I thank God for my
life and Dr. Pierce for my health."
There are thousands of women who suffer as
did Mrs. Ragan, who know nothing of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, or, because it is sold through
the same channels, class it with preparations which
are nothing but stimulants, and can give no lasting

help. A great many mothers like Mrs. Anderson,
in the following testimonial, have been great .suffer
ers until some chance word has directed them to Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and the use of it has
brought a perfect and permanent cure.
"A TRUE MOTHER'S FRIEND."
"I would like to express my gratitude for the benefit re
ceived from your wonderful medicine, 'Favorite l'rescrip
Hon,"' writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson, of South Britain, New
Haven Co., Conn., (Kox 133). During the first month of
pregnancy I could not keep nnvthing on my stomach. Was
so sick that I had to go to bed and stay for weeks. I tried
different doctors, but with little benefit. I read about many
beitijr helped by using your medicine so I thought I would
gite it a trial. I began to take our ' Fatorite Prescription
111 Notcmber and I lttila nice little baby girl In February
following. My baby weighed over eight pounds. I was only
in hard labor about one hour and got along nicely during
confinement; was up and dressed on the eighth day. I never
had the doctor with me at all. My friends thought that I
was sick a tery short time. I think Dr. Tierce's Favorite
Prescription i indetd u line mother's friend for it helped
me wonderfully."
Even if these two experiences stood alone they
ought to be enough to induce every mother to begin
the use of "Favorite Prescription," in order to enjoy
that healthy condition of mind and body which
makes the birth hour easy and gives the baby hap
piness and health. But these experiences do not
stand alone. Thev are multinliod hv
thousands. Half a million women and
moie have testified to the lasting bene
fit derived from Dr. Pierce's medicines.
A MOTHER'S SUFFERING.
"I ltnve long thought it my
duty to write to you a few lines
to let j on know what jour ' Fa
vorite Prescription ' has done for
me," w rites Mrs. Iluphemia Fal
coner, of Trent, Muskegon Co.,
Mich. "I am twenty -seven
years old; have been married
ten j ears. I ant the mother of
four children. My first two
babies were stillborn, and I suf
fered eterv thing but death. My
friends all thought that I could
never recover. I was reduced
to 109 pounds. When
I was about three
months along for my
third child, I was
taken with hemor
rhage, or flooding,
and came near hat ing
a miscarriage from fe
male weakness. For
two months I was un
der the care of our
doctor, but was get
ting weaker all the
time. One day I hap
pened to come across
one of tour little
books and I read it
through, and the next
day I sent and got
three bottles of ' Fa
vorite Prescription '
and one bottle of
'Pellets.' I improv
ed so fast I continued
to take your medicine until baby was born, and he is healthy
and nil right. He is four years old. My baby girl is two
j ears old. My health has been good ever since. I now
weigh 165 pounds."
This is the message to mothers from mothers
who have a right to speak: Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription makes weak women strong, sick women
veil. It dries debilitating drains, heals inflamma
tion and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It
strengthens the nervous system, increases the appe
tite and iuduces refreshing sleep. By building up
tlie entire feminine organism, "tavonte iTescrip
tion " gives strength to mothers to bear children
with ease, and to nurse them with joy.
It is a temperance medicine, free from alcohol
and narcotics.
Sick women suffering from "female troubles" are
invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter).
In more than thirty years Dr. Pierce as chief con
sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., assisted by his staff of nearly
a score of specialists, has treated and cured over half
a million women. He is to-day among the foremost
specialists in the treatment and cure of women's
diseases. All correspondence private. Address
