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. *

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. ’

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

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.”

Victoria's Only Joke.
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.

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.

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."
