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

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.

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.
