Free Medical to Advice to Women. \ Every young girl who suffers monthly, Every woman who is approaching maternity, Every woman who feels that life is a burden, Every woman who has tried all other means to regain health without success. Every woman who is going through that critical time — the change of life — ts invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., in regard to her trouble, and the most expert advice telling exactly how to obtain a CURE will be sent abso lutely free of cost. The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any subject is experience—experience creates knowledge. No other person has so wide an experience with female ills nor such a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham lias had. Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. Some personally, others by mail. And this has been going on for t wenty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success — think of the knowledge thus gained! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such an experience, especially when it is free. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she. was in great trouble. Her letter shows the result. There are actually thousands of such letters in Mrs. Pinkham’s possession. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I have been under doctors’ treatment for female troubles for some time, but without any relief. They now tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, I cannot wear my clothes with any comfort. Womb is dreadfully swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. “ The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor, given in your little book, accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice.” —Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 253 Dudley St. (Boston), Roxbury, Mass. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I wrote to you describing my symptoms, and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully for several months, and to-day 1 am a well woman. “ The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, together with your advice, carefully followed, entirely expelled the tumor, and strength ened the whole system. I can walk miles now. “ Your Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors, or any female trouble, to write you for advice, and give it a faithful trial,”—Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St. (Boston), Roxbury, Mass. Mrs. Hayes will gladly answer any and all letters that may bo addressed to her asking about her illness, and how Mrs. Pinkham helped her. * M EL ftFORFEIT if v|eannot forthwith produce the originnl latter and signature of IIIII testimonial, which will prove its absolute genuineness.

A Governor's First Dress Suit. “The first time I ever put on a dress suit,” said ex-Governor Scofield of Minnesota, “was at the reception and ball which followed in the evening of the day that I was inaugurated. I remember that Me had to stand on a little platform, raised a few inches from the floor, while tne crowd pass ed along and shook hands with Mrs. Scofield and myself. “I weighed just ninety-six pounds at that time, and was as thin as a match. Mrs. Scofield is a fleshy woman, and as I looked at her during a lull in the procession and then sized up my own diminutive anatomy, I whispered 10 her: “ ‘Martha, we must look like the living skeleton*and the fat woman in the dime museum to these people!’ “That settled Mrs. Scofield for the balance of the evening, and to save herself she could not get rid of the ripples of mirth that would sweep over her face and break out into peals of laughter as the ridiculousness of the situation appeared to her. ’ Hall’s Catarrh Cure Is a constitutional curs.

I ...."1 THE AGE OF DISCRETION - * 11 How old must a young man be. nnd how big must he be for his age, be fore a young woman is justified in taking his love-making, and particu larly his proposal of marriage, seri ously? A good deal depends, of course, upon the young woman, but if the young woman is dependent upon her self, as happens to be the case in the Strong-Noake breach of promise suit, then considerable latitude must be allowed her personal and private Judgment, we suppose. Her attorney lays down the general proposition that, if a young man is old enough to vote and "as big as a house,” he ought to know what he is doing when he makes love to a young woman, and he ought to know what it means when he promises to marry her. This, however, is from the view point, of one who is presumably and properly, because professionally, bias ed in the young woman's favor. From the viewpoint of the defendant’s father, on the other hand, the young man who is barely old enough to vote is only a boy, and he should not be held accountable for an act which, to the parental mind, is simply a youthful indiscretion. There is a widespread popular in terest in this matter, however, aside from its merits. Young men are in terested in it, because they are anx ious to learn how old they must be before they can be held accountable for the love-making they do. and the matrimonial promise's they give. Young women are Interested In It, because It concerns them greatly to know how old a young man must be, and how big lie must be, before they are justified In believing his profes sions of affection and in accepting his pledge of marriage. Parents of young men are Interest ed in It because it is of the greatest importance to them, especially If they happen to be wealthy, to learn how old and how big their sons must be before they can be trusted to go into the wide world where their af fections are likely to be ensnared. Next to the marriage contract itself, the most sacred contract that can be made between man and wom an is the promise of marriage, and from time Immemorial courts and juries have so regarded it, and have so decided it In breach of promise lawsuits, especially If the evidence for the woman has been in the form of letters. Courts and juries are proverbially sensitive to the influence of love let ters. They may bo inclined to side with the man up to the moment the letters are produced, but if the let ters are of the kind that the Judge and the jurors remember having writ ten In the days when their tender emotions held full sway, the chances for the yo'ung man, no matter how old a young man he may be, or how big or how little, are very slender.—Chi cago Inter-Ocean. HOW WESTERN HERO DIED When the Kansas river swept over Topeka it was mentioned in the tele graph dispatches that Edward Graf strom, chief mechanical engineer of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, and one of the best-known engineers in the West, was one of the victims. How he lost his life, after being instrumental in saving hundreds of others, is now being told by his as sistants in the railway journals that his colleagues in the craft may know how he sacrificed himself for his fel low sufferers. Thousands of persons were impris oned in the upper stories of houses, on roofs, in trees and in other places in North Topeka when the flood ap proached its worst. Only a few skiffs were at hand to rescue them and these were entirely inadequate for the work. Somehow Mr. Grafstrom hastily put together in the Santa Fe shops a roughly constructed side-wheel steam er. It did great work in carrying pro visions, ropes and other necessaries about the flood district and brought in hundreds of survivors. On the last return trip on the night when the flood was beginning to sub side the boat started for the south shore without a load and without bal last. Mr. Grafstrom end the boat struck an especially strong swirl of water, and, roughly put together as It was, it could not be controlled for a moment. In that moment it struck a submerged tree and was upset. Six of the seven men in it escaped by catching tree tops. Mr. Grafstrom was a powerful swimmer and under natural conditions would easily have escaped. But he had been working night and day for nearly a week and was exhausted. Whether his strength was spent or whether some part of the boat struck him as it overturned will never be known, but he was drowned. Practically his end was the result of devoting his great mechanical skill and his own strength to saving tho lives of imperiled fellow citizens. He had had a distinguished career in rail roading and had made a name for him self in the West. One of his brothers is a commander in the Swedish navy. Another is an officer of the Swedish government railroad. GAVE $100,000,000 TO CHARITY j The movement toward the erection in Central park, New York city, of a monument to the memory of the Baron and Baroness de Hirsch is one which should meet with the hearty support of every person interested in the cause of philanthropy, for they were among the noblest workers. Barno de Hirsch was born in Mun ich, Bavaria, In 1831 and died near Pressburg. Hungary, in 1896. He in I herited a large fortune from his father ! and this he augmented by his enter prise as banker and railroad builder. Baroness de Hirsch was born in Brus sels in 1833, and died in Paris in 1899. From her father, a wealthy Belgian senator, she received a dowry of $20,000,000. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century this worthy couple paid out in various funds for the benefit of their fellow creatures no less a sum than the grand total of $100,000,000 No particular racq, creed, or country was selected as recipients of tlieir mu nificent benefactions, which were world-wide in their scope. The list of hospitals, orphan asylums, schools and other kindred institutions which prof ited by their open-handed generosity is too long for complete enumeration. Among those in this country are the Hirsch trust, In Montreal, Canada, $100,000; the Educational Alliance, New york city, $300,000; the Clara de Hirsch Home for Working Girls, $300, 000. All these institutions are non sectarian. The Garfield hospital. Washington, received $200,000, and the Lying-in Hospital, New York city, $200,000. Aside from the question of honoring the memory of these eminent philan thropists there is also the possibility that a monument, at least partially commemorative of beneficence, will stimulate such a feeling in others with resultant benefit to future generations. FAD HARMFUL TO CHILDREN 11 n 11 o “My patrons usually find me very accommodating,” said the undertaker, “but there is one arrangement they frequently make that I fight against religiously. That is the impressment of children into service as pallbear ers. To my mind it is a reprehen sible practice. From the purely sen timental standpoint it probably looks pretty to see a little child carried to the grave by its playmates. Doctors and undertakers, however, are sel dom sentimentalists, and as they look at the thing from a strictly profes sional point of view they see harm in the custom rather than beauty. “It is harmful to the children. This thing of serving as pallbearers is not a pleasant duty for anybody not in ured to the business, and naturally it is particularly trying on the nerves of children. Many a time have I seen the little tots shaking in their boots as it came time for them to lift the coffin and on a few occasions 1 have seen one of them keel right over. By the friends that sudden weakness was attributed to grief, but it was nothing of the kind. Probably the rhild did feel badly over the loss of its companion, but sorrow would never afflict it so sorely. It was pure nervousness that caused tho collapse. I have known an exceedingly sensi tive child to be all unstrung for weeks after such an ordeal. ■‘Fortunately parents do not insist upon the practice so much as form erly. Even if they do incline to the idea at first I generally find it pos sible to talk them out of the notion unless the child has been precocious in such matters and has requested that certain little friends act as pall bearers, which sometimes happens. Id that case I find all arguments un availing and much as I dislike the custom I am obliged to conduct a funeral with youthful pallbearers.”— New York Press. Why He Wanted a Wig. “I am going to buy a wig," said a bald-headed man, as he ruefully rub bed the bare spot on the top of his h^.d. "No, it isn't out of pride. I do not object to the appearance of my shining pate. But the flies nearly drive me frantic. They never light on the head of a man who has plenty of hair. For a time I cultivated what I used to call a 'bluff.' I let the hair en the side of my head grow about six inches long and then combed It over the bald space. This kept the flies off for two or three years; but now it is so thin that the files are not bluffed at all. That is why I am going to buy a wig.” GET’WELL —STAY WELL) The thousands of people who are every day being made well by Doan’s Kidney Pills and the free trial herewith offered makes further delay, •* Kidney neglect."

The late Queen Victoria, though she had literary ambitions and was as tal ented as became a queen, was not known rs a wit, says the Philadelphia u.edger. Her one recorded joke, how ever, is a good one and should he pre served. The story goes that the aged Duke of Wellington Having paid his sovereign a visit on a very wet day. she anxiously inquired what boots he was wearing. "The people call them V\ ellingtgns,” said the duke. “What nonsense,” exclaimed the queen. "Where, I should like to know, could you find a pair of Weuington?” Odd Mistake in Dictionaries. Dr. Murray, in his’ discourse on “Dis tionaries,” could give some amusing instances of definitions, according to the London Chronicle. Ash, for in stance, says that esoteric is a mis spelling of exoteric. Johnson defined coaxation as “the art of coaxing," in stead of the croaking of frogs; and pastern as “the knee of a horse,” a blunder which was copied by subse quent dictionary makers. Webster, too, in his first edition, went astray in cricket terms. Leg, as a verb, he defines “to strike in the leg; used in the game of cricket.” Wicket-keeper is given as “the piayer in cricket who stands with a hat to protect the wick et from tne hall.” Longstop is said to he “one who is set to stop halls a long distance.” The way of the transgressor is mighty slippery. He Feels Good. Caddo, Ky., July 20th.—“I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath” Is the way William Ball' of this place describes how he is feeling. As Mr. Ball has been on the sick list for a long time, this declaration from him comes as quite a surprise. When asked to explain how he had become so strong in such a short time, he gays: "I did have Kidney Trouble very bad, in fact I had to get up four or five times every night to urinate. I had shortness of breath which dis tressed me terribly. I was badly used up, and was really of no account for anything. "I used three boxes of Dodd's Kid ney Pills, and that's what has made me well. I can sleep ail night with out having to got up. I feel splendid and as I said before, I believe I could clii/.b a mountain without drawing a long breath. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all."
