*— a ■ Miss Nettie Blackmoce, Min- ■ aeapolis, tells how any young woman may be permanently cured of monthly pains by tak ing Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound. “ Women : — I h»d frequent headaches of a severe nature, dark ■pots before my eyes, and at my men strual periods I suffered untold agony. A member of the lodge advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound, but I only scorned good advice and felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a bottle and started taking it. I soon had the best reason in the •world to change my opinion of the medicine, as each day any health im proved, and finally I was entirely with out pain at my menstruation periods. I am most grateful.”—Nettie Black more, 88 Central Ave., Minneapolis, Minn_fSOOO forfeit If original of about letter proulng genulnenets cannot be produced.

STIC* TO THE $IGN OF THF FISH. rweWStt«,t I— ■■■ mmmm mmmm — J BEGGS’BLOOD PURIFIER • CURES catarrh of the stomach OPINION OF THE EDITOR OF THE ••NEBRASKA FARMER.” H* Expresses His Approval of Ameri can Emigration to Canada. During the winter months the head Df the family consults with the other members as to the prospe.ets for the future, and doubtless one of the most Interesting topics discussed is that of moving to some district where it is possible to more easily secure what is necessary for a comfortable existence, where it is an easy matter to become possessed of sufficient farm land to assure a competence for the future. This not only interests the head of the family but every individual mem ber of it. Having before me the knowledge where he can secure a home with the expenditure of but little money, it is well for him to obtain all information possible regarding the productiveness of the land in the country that he may select For several years past a large number of Americans have removed to Western Canada, and as nearly as it can be ascertained almost all of these have expressed themselves satisfied with the conditions that exist there. During the past summer a number of the editors of farm papers throughout the United States made a personal vis it on a tour of inspection, and the re ports of these gentlemen prove inter ing reading. Mr. H. E. Heath, editor of the Nebraska Farmer, a paper en joying a wide circulation, as well as the confidence of its subscribers, after giving some idea of tbe extent of this wonderful country, says: “Western Canada is tbe last unoccu pied and unimproved good agricultural land in America available to-day.” He then discusses its possibilities for raising live stock and tbe advantages it possesses for dairying, farming and wheat growing, and says, “What has been said about the country as to the ability of the soil, the yield of won derful crops of wheat, is quite Justi fied.” To quote further from Mr. Heath, he says, referring to climate: “These people (skeptical ones) do not know or realize that altitude more than latitude makes climates; that large bodies of water, both fresh and salt, that never freeze over, exert a wonderful influence on climate. An other influence on climate, more po tent than those named above, which applies more to the Alberta district, is the warm Chinook breeze from the Pacific Ocean, which is 600 or 700 miles nearer than Colorado or Wyo ming, besides the Rocky Mountain range is not nearly so high nor half so far from the ocean as it is down in the States. “In further considering the climate of the Canadian prairies, we should uot lose sight of the fact of the influ ence of the rains; the total average rainfall for the season is but 13.35 inches for the territories and 17.34 inches'in Manitoba, and that the amounts falling between April 1 and Oct. 1 are respectively 9.39 inches and 12.87 inches or about three-fourths of the entire rainfall. From the middle of June to the middle of July there are over two hours more daylight in every twenty-four hours than there is in Nebraska. The main reason why West ern Canada wheat grows to such per fection is the effect of solar light, or longer period of sunshine it gets each day. This is what makes seeds or grain more perfect, grown in this coun try than elsewhere. This extraordi nary rapid growth of vegetation under the influence of this long continued sunshine exceeds anything known in lower latitudes. “We do not wish it understood that wheat alone is the main product of this country; it leads in that, yet it is destined to become famous for its cat tle, horses and sheep and for its dairy products. We saw more and larger bands of cattle and sheep grazing in Assiniboia and Alberta than we ever saw on the western plains of the Unit ed States. One band of cattle num bering 5,COO head were grazing on th« rich grass and sheep without num ber.” The Government of the Dominion of Canada is still using the same ener getic euorts which have been used for the past five or six years to settle up these western prairies, and on applica tion to any Agent of the Canadian Government the settler will be able to secure a certificate entitling him to a low rate, which will give him the opportunity of visiting any portion of Canada’s grain producing domain.

MEXICAN Mustang Liniment cure* Sprains and Strains. THE PLEDGE PURSE. By E mma Garrison Jones. New York Weekly: “George, dear,** said Mrs. Prescott, looking up from her basket of mending, as ahe and her hus band sat by their fireside one winter night, “has it ever occurred to you that it is time our boys were signing the pledge?” Mr. Prescott tossed aside his paper with a laugh. “There you go, my dear; and really I expected it. The wonder is you haven’t caught the fever sooner.” “What fever, George?” “Why, this temperance fever that seems to be crazing everybody Just now. The town’s full of it; every second man I meet wears a gay blue ribbon in his but tonhole, and every church is converted into a temperance hall; but the thing .won't last-such spasmodic movements never do.’’ His wife’s bright eyes grew wistful, and a cloud -crossed her pretty, fresh face She was a happy little woman, the moth er of three promising boys, always busy and full of plans for the comfort of her family, “It is a good movement, George,” she continued. “I trust it will be more last ing than you think; and it would," she added, with spirit, “if the influential men of the town, the strong, reliable men like yourself, George, would take hold of it.” “Much obliged for the compliment, my love,” laughed her husband; “but I don t think I’m in any danger of becoming a drunkard.’’ “Nor do T. George; but you are not a temperance man, and there’s always^dan ger in having aught to do with sin.” “Why, Lizzie, how much in earnest you seem. You've caught the fever without doubt. You always had a weakness tor taking up new whims. But, really, child, I’m in no danger. I’m not a total ab stinence man. I’ll admit; ever since I can remember I’ve had my drink or two a day, but I never was Intoxicated in my life, and 1 never expect to be.” “I trust not, George, but you have sons, and there’s no telling into what errors your example may lead them.” “Why, Lizzie, do you mean to say I set my boys a bad example?” “No, George, there never was a better husband and father than you are, but you encourage your boys to drink Intoxicating liquors. We have wine on the table oc casionally, and almost every morning the boys have their toddy.” “And you have always mixed the bev erage, my dear, and shared it around to us.“ “I know it, George, but I shall never do It again. In the first place, it Is a waste of money. The liquor used In this house costs every cent of a dollar a week.” “That’s not much, Lizzie.” “No; but it counts up. And how much does your private drinking amount to, do you suppose?” “Bless my soul, Lizzie, what has come over your? Ten cents someties, never more than a quarter.” “Each day?” “Yes. You don’t grudge me that trifling amount, do you7” “J grudge you nothing, George, that will make you and your boys happy,” cried his wife, her eyes filling with tears; “but I wish you could see this matter as I do. Let me give you an illustration. The Ashford boys were here an evening or so ago, and they wore their blue tem perance badges on their jacket®. “ ‘Larry, why don’t you fellows sign the pledge? It is so awfully jolly,’ said one of them. “Our Lawrence laughed, Just as you laughed at me a minute ago, George. He is his father’s own son, my handsome Larry, and It would break ray heart to see him do wrong. “ ‘It’s jollier to drink your social glass, and have your hot toddy when you feel dull.’ he replied. ‘My father thinks the temperance movement a humbug, and 60 do I.’ ” “Did Larry say that?” asked Mr. Pres cott. “Those were his words, George, and they I cut me to the heart. Now, husband, you have never denied me anything since the day you made me your happy wife—don’t deny me this. Let’s banish all sorts of Intoxicating drink from our house, and do you take your boys by the hand and make them sign the pledge. As their fath er does they will do willingly." And the little woman put by her sewing, and cross ing to her husband’s chair, took his head In her two hands, and laid her cheek against his face. “Now, George, dear, surely you’ll not say no to me for the first time, will you?” There was silence for a minute, and then the husband drew the pretty face down and kissed It. “I couldn’t say no, Lizzie, If I wanted,” he said. "No man could withstand such a witch as you are.” On the following day Mr. Prescott and Ills three sons signed the pledge, and the boys took great pride In their gay badges. Intoxicating drinks were banished from their home, and no one seemed to be one whit the worse for it. If the boys had a cold their mother administered hot lem onade, and she found the remedy even more efficient than the warm toddles used to be. The boys seemed more speed ily relieved, and had fewer attacks. Three years went by. Times were hard, and money scarce, and Mr. Prescott's bus iness was dull. To make matters worse, he laid a long spell of sickness, and a heavy doctor's bill. “I can't see my way out of It," he re marked, sitting In his armchair, one even ing, his pale face seamed with lines of care, “the building association stock will have to go, and I do hate that very much." “What Is It, George, dear? Maybe I can help you. The sick man smiled at the little wife, ever so ready with her help. "No, dear, you can’t help me In this; I wish you could,” he said. “It is a note, which must be paid before the 10th." "And today Is the eighth. What Is the amount, George?” “Three hundred and fifty dollars, and I have not fifty to spare. If It hadn't been for this confounded fever-” “Hush, my love. Walt till I bring my pledge purse,” and his wife darted from the room. In two minutes she was back, a heavy purse In her hand. “This Is my pledge-purse, George.” "Your pledge-purse? What do you mean?" “Why, you see," and the little woman's face fairly glowed as her boys left their lessons and crowded round her, eager to hear, “the day you and the boys signed the pledge, George, I made this purse, and I called it my pledge-purse. Every day I have put in 10 cents, and every week a dollar, because that much used to go for nasty, Intoxicating drink, that did my boys and their father more harm than good. Sometimes, when I had a little spare change, I threw that In, too. Larry, my boy, sit down by your father and count over the contents. 1 hope there may be enough to pay that troublesome note.” Mr. Prescott looked at bis wife, and his eyes filled with tears. “Why, Lizzie—why. little wife, what can I say?" he began. She caught his head to her bosom. “Say nothing, George. 1 kept my pledge purse for an hour of need, and that hour has come. Pay the note that troubles you, dear, and then get well and strong at your leisure." Her husband was silent, but the three boys leaped to «helr feet, and shouted: “Hurrah for the pledge!” until the room ■ rang. ROMANCE OF HEARTS. Custom of Thoir Separate Burial Is Not Uncommon. Tlt-Blts: The separate burial of hearts Is not such a singular occur rence as many readers may be apt to suppose. History supplies us with nu merous instances. When Richard the Llonheartetl was mortally wounded in the attack on the castle of Chaluz he expressed a wish that his body should be buried at the feet of his father at Fontevraud, in token of his sorrow for the trouble and anxiety which he had formerly caused him. But he bequeathed his heart to the inhabitants of Rouen as an acknowledgment of the faithfulness of his Norman subjects. The some what singular gift was gratefully ac cepted, and was honored with a beau tiful shrine in the cathedral. This was destroyed in 1738, but about a century later the heart of the famous crusader was found Inclosed In a lead en casket under the pavement of the cathedral. It was replaced, but some time later was again taken up and de posited in the Museum of Antiquities, from which it was in turn removed to a more appropriate resting place in the choir of the cathedral, where it now remains. On the death of John Ballot, father of. that Baliol who opposed Bruce's claim to the throne of Scotland, his widow ordered his heart to be re moved and placed In an ivory casket. Although she survived her husband twenty years, It is said ttrat she never sat down to a meal without having the casket beside her. In accordance with her dying request the heart was placed on her dead bosom previous to interment in her own abbey, which was situated on the banks of the Nith. When the great Napoleon died In St. Helena his heart was removed In order that it might be placed In a separate case. The doctor who- removed it set It under a glass case in his bedroom. During the night he was startled by the sound of breaking glass, and he Just managed to prevent a large rat from carrying off the heart to its hole. The heart was immediately placed In an urn and secured in the coffin beside the body. There would appear to be some doubt as to what became of Byron's j heart after his death. According to one account, it was lost In a marsh in Greece under the following circum stances: As Is well known, the poet took a deep Interest In the efforts which the Greeks were then making to secure their freedom. His services were highly appreciated by these peo ple, and when he died his relatives, who had resolved to convey his body to England for burial, were requested to leave his heart In Greece. The wish was complied with, and the precious relic was placed in a silver casket. Mlssolonghl was besieged, and when the Greeks saw the impossibility of warding off the attack, a small par ty made a desperate sally, carrying off the heart with them. They were suc cessful in cutting their way through the Turkish army, but were soon compelled to conceal themselves in a marsh, where the heart, which they had tried so hard to save, was lost. THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME Are Never Without Peruna in the House for Catarrhal Diseases. v&MMuuuuMtniit/rr rr. MR. AND MRS. J. O. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO. UNDER date of January 10. 1897, Dr. Ilartman received the follow ing letter: •‘My wife had been suffering from a complication of diseases for the past 25 years. “Her case had bnffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic consti pation of severul years’ standing. "She also was passing through that most critical period In the life of n woman—change oft life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You ad vised a course of Peruna and Manailn, which we at once commenced, und have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead" only for these wonderful remedies. "About the same time I wrote you about my own cnse of catarrh, which had been of 25 years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. 1 commenced to use Peruna according to your instruc tions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. “Your remedies do all that you claim tor them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna Is taken according to directions. Success to you and jour remedies. ” John O. Atkinson. In a letter dater January 1, 1900, Mfc Atkinson says, after five years’ expe rience with Peruua: “/ will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. In my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking adver tisement for Peruna and have Induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results. I am still cured of catarrh. ” John O. Atkinson, Box 272. Independence, Mo When old age comes on. catarrhal dis eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al most universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruua is their safeguard. Peruua is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is. If you do not receive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.
