f i '■ x, ¥\s?y!-* m Miss Rose Hennessy, well known asH a poetess and elocutionist, of Lexington, Ky., tells how she was cured of uterine inflammation and ovaritis by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, “ Pear Mrs. Pinkham : —I have been so blessedly helped through the us® of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound that I feel it but just to acknowledge it, hoping that it may help some other woman suffering as I did. ** For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that 1 would always do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly chilled, but 1 did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. 1 suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse. Mv attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful cures it had performed, and I made up my mind to try it for two months and see what it would do for me. Within one month 1 felt much better, and at the close of the second I was entirely well. “I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it. and all express themselves as well satfsfled with the results as I was.” — Miss Hose Nora Hennessy, 410 !S. Broadway, Lexington. Ky. The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove beyond a question that Lydia 13. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble and at once, by removing the cause, and restoring the organs to a normal and healthy condition. “Dear Mrs. Pixkham : — About two years ago 1 consulted a phy sician at tout my health which had become so wretched that I was no longer able to be about. I had severe backache, bearing-down' pains, pains across the abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, and this trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed for me, but I soon discovered that lie was unable to help me, and I then decided to try Lydia E. Pinkhain’s Vegetable Compound, and*soon found that it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappear ing, and the general benefits were well marked. “ You cannot realize how pleased 1 was, and after taking the medi cine for only three months, I found that I was completely cured of my trouble, and have been well and hearty ever since, and no more fear the monthly period, as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly, Mrss Pearl Ackers, :i-J7 North Summer St., Nashville, Tenu.” When a medicine lias been successful in restoring to health more than a million women, you cannot well say without trying it “I do not believe it will help me.” If you arc ill, do not hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E.

SENS.TiVE ANIMALS. Washington Star: A noted trainee of Thoroughbreds, who dropped lute Washington the other day to pick out stable room for his string at the Ben- , ning track for the forthcoming fall I meeting, was talking of the sulking propensities of a certain clever race horse now running on the metropolitan tracks. "If the people behind that horse could only find out what trilling little thing he is sulking about," said th^ trainer, "it would be worth tens of thousands of dollars to them. They could easily remedy whatever little matter it might be that is causing the horse to carry such a vast amount of poutishness about in his midriff, and then, with his wrong redressed, he’d go right ahead and win good races un til the end of the season. "You often hear the remark that thoroughbred horses are us capricious as women. I’d rather put it that they're as whimsical as children. "Their likes and dislikes are formed all of a sudden. !ikt> a child’s, and as often as not a thoroughbred horse has the same sort of distinctive guidance behind his whimsical notion that a child has. For example, a naturally sneaky, treacherous man has no more ( hance to gain the good will of a highly bred race horse than he has to gain the confidence of a child. "There is something in both the horse and the child that tells them that the bad hearted man isn't right. That something. I suppose, is pure instinct. "But horses of high caliber have an even wider range of whims. That's why every good trainer studies the kinks of every one of the horses in his charge. "About, ten years ago I—trained a great race horse—one of the greatest of his time—who was as calm and self contained as a priest, except for one thing. He couldn’t tolerate the sight of a man with a beard. "It was pure nervousness, of course, but you can’t tell me that that horse didn’t get that aversion somewhere We hear about children being ‘marked’ with some trait or characteristic by their mothers. Don’t you believe that that immortal old four footed boy I’m talking about wasn’t marked just in the way that children are, before his birth, with that hatred for a bearded man. I believe just as thoroughly as I believe that I’m wearing a hat that that horse’s dam had been abused by some fellow with a beard, and that she transmitted her fear of and hatred for bearded men to the son, who made her name glorious as a stud matron. It may not be scientific and all that, but I know a lot of plain old facts about horses and other things that are not embraced in any system of science. "Most race horses are devoted to women. Yet I’ve trained thorough breds that had such ai# innate dis like for women that it was dangerous for a woman to get anywhere near them. rve got a s.wen norse in my string now who is 'dead gone’ on the young wife of one of the owners for whom I train, except when she approaches him with the frou-frou of a silken skirt. Then he wont tolerate her around him at all. "The hiss and the swish of the silken skirt startles him and finally drives him into a sort of frenzy of nervous ness or resentment or whatever you want to call it. When she isn’t wear ing any rustling silken skirt to bother him, however, he Is as gentle with her as a Newfoundland dog with a baby, and bends his ears forward to her to have her rub them and muzzles her face and fair with the affection of a child. “Early environment has pretty near as much to do with the formation of a horse's character as of a child's. Southern bred horses, for instance, are devoted to their black care-takers, and when such horses are switched to own ers whose stable employes are all white men the horses suffer severely from lonesomeness for the negroes for a long time, and they never become entirely used to the white stable hands. On t1(e other hand, race horses bred up north. In New York or Pennsylvania or New Jersey, say, and reared under the guardianship of white men, have an in tense aversion for the black man. "I recall the case of a fine handicap horse which had a sensational record as a two-year-old and a three-year old on the southern tracks before he changed hands and was brought to New York tracks io show his mettle. His new owner had tremendous expecta tions of that colt, but the horse raced at least thirty pounds below bis true form from the outset. "Front a manger glutton he became a poor feeder as soon as he was brought east, and only munched enough oats to keep himself from starvation. Two or th ee expert veterinarians examined the colt and found nothing that matter with him, and yet lie continued to mope and to lose flesh and to go about his work In a hopeless, lackadaisical way which made it out of the question to pet him to any sort of a racing edge worthy his known grand capabilities. His people couldn't make it out. "One day a negro stable hand from tyiother barn wandered into that colt's stall. As noon as the colt saw and smelt the black hand, he almost ate him up alive with pure, unrestrained Joy. He licked the black man's hands and muzzled his shirt and whinnied and pawed the dirt and danced around like a crsvy horse. The trainer of the colt happened to be standing by at tile time: '"I know what ails that colt,’ he said, the light breaking on him. 'He was born and brought up with the coons, and he's lonesome for 'em.' "The trainer promptly engaged three black stable hands to devote their ex clusive attention to that horse. He be gan to gorge his oats as soon us he made up his mind that the darkles were around him to slay, picked up meat and muscle, went at his work like an un leashed hound, and the next time he went to the races he bowled over his field as if they were dachshunds." Proportion Small. Johnson—According to statistics the proportion of bald headed men among criminals Is small. Tomkins—Well, I've always been an advocate of the theory that marriage has a tendency to keep a man from crime. The extreme severity of last winter in Maryland and Virginia interfered seriously with the usual birth rate of crabs in and about Chesapeake bay, and the supply of the shellfish from that part of the world has been much smaller this year than In previous sea sons. GUT THEIR HAIR TO FOOL SANTA CLAUS Little Girls Wanted to Bunco St. Nick Out of Boys* Presents. SCHEME WORKED, TOO For When Papa Saw the Results He Skated for the Toy Store and Loaded Up on Engines, Guns and Things Boys Get. Chicago special: Beronica, 3 years old, screamed with delight when she awoke yesterday morning and saw how good Santa Claus had been to her. Margaret,; her sister, a year older, admitted that she was ”’sprised femendustly.” Both had crept into bed the night before op pressed by guilty consciences. They had been “bad.” it was almost beyond hope that a month of good behavior would be counted in their favor. “O. Beronica; how funny you look.” said, Margaret. “So do you,” retorted Beronica. Only Little Wirps of Hair Left. The truth Is that the yellow curls which twenty-four hours before had graced the heads of both little girls in abundance Were missing. All that remained were aj few stubby locks, and hacked ir-i regularly. Alfred Pluard, the father of Beronica and Margaret, was not responsible for the1 hair cuts, although a few years ago he had; a barber shop in South Chicago. Now he owns a saloon at 81C*1 Green Bay avenue and resides with his wife and the two lit tle girls and the baby, “Toddles,” above it. “I cut Margaret’s hair and she cut, mine,” confessed Beronica, tearfully, when, Pluard and, his wife returned from shop-1 ping Christmas eve. “1 didn’t want to, but Margaret said jj;e'd get more Christ mas presents.” Around them on the floor lay the sev eral strands of hair and the scissors. Santa Nicer to Boys Than Girls. “Why should you got more gifts because, you make yourselves look like little man-1 keys?” demanded Pluard, sternly. Margaret explained. “Because Santa Claus is nicer to little boys than he is to little girls.” she said. “He brings them lots more presents. Last year all the boys Beronica and 1 know got iots of things and the girls didn’t get near as many. Beronica and I decided we’d be boys this year. Not really boys, but just) so Santa Claus wouldn’t sec the differ ence.” Pluard and his wife listened to this ex-, planation in silence and when it was finished neither felt like purvlshlng the lit tle girls. Instead, they whispered to gether and the husband departed. In the hallway were the gifts he had bought as Santa Claus’ proxy—dolls and doll house and doll buggies, a children's tea set, and a train of cars, and lots of candy. Father Goes Again to Toyshop. “It didn’t look like enough—after what that kid of mine said.” Pluard told hisi friends yesterday. So Pluard carried his Christinas shop-( ping further. He retraced his steps to the toy shop and discovered some he had over-! loked completely in his previous visit,’ ridiculously cheap considering the pleas ure they were destined to afford Beronica! and Margaret. Then he purchased two rings set with small chipped diamonds. That is why Beronica and Margaret were “ 'sprised” Sunday morning. “But, understand,” Pluard told the lit tle girls gruffly, shaking a warning finger. “No more such monkey business. Santa Claus likes little girls just as much as lit tle boys. It makes no difference, and you can’t fool him.” QUEER BANK CHECKS. A Piece of Lath, Collars and Cuffs That Have Been Indorsed and Cashed. Philadelphia Press; A torn linen collar, a piece of lath, a cuff, and half a dozen other odd objects hung above a certain bunks clerk’s desk In this city. "My collection of queer checks," the young man said. "Each of those things is a check. Each was duly honored. Each has a story. ”1 have been collecting queer checks for three years. That idece of lath started me. A bank honored the lath for $250. It was made into a check by the owner of a saw mill, who was out at the plant with his son, thirty miles from any house, and totally with out paper, let alone a check. The money was needed to pay off the hands. The saw miller wrote on the lath just what a check correctly drawn has on It, anil he sent his son into the bank to get the money and to explain. The lath check was honored after some discussion among the bank's officers. “The cuff check was drawn by an actor who had become slightly intoxi cated. got into a tight and been ar rested. He was treated cavalierly In his cell; they wouldn't give him any paper. and he bribed a boy to take the check to a bank. The boy got the money, and with it the actor paid his fine. Otherwise he'd have been jailed for ten days. Thus a cuff check may be said to have saved a man from prison. "The check written on that linen col lar won a bet of $5. A man bet a woman that a check made on a collar would be cashed, and, of course, he won his bet. “Your bank, if you carry a good ac count, will honor the most freaky checks you can draw up. In such mon key business, though, 1 won't encour age you." Where the Schools Fail. New York World: Judged by results, the public schools are not providing a serviceable primary education for their pupils. A smattering of specialized knowledge does not compensate for im perfect training in the fundamentals— the "three It's," geography and a knowledge of United States history and American institutions. A boy or a girl who cannot spell correctly, write leg ibly, figure accurately and who is ignor ant of our own country starts in busi ness and social life with a handicap that is never overcome. No amount of special knowledge will make up for a lack lit the essentials. The "little red school” house produced so many great and strong men and women because It taught a few things thoroughly and the learning of them was paid for with privations. What the modern public school is turning out is seen in the typewriters who cannot spell, in the business col leges, the stores, the offices and the other so-called genteel occupations which are crowded with helpless and incompetent public school graduates. A carpenter, an ironworker, an elec trician, a skilled man in any trade, earns much more than a clerk or book keeper. And It is easier to rise in a trade. The opportunities in industrial leadership come to those who know the rungs of the ladder from the bottom up. The Debutante's Gown. Chicago News: It must be becom ing. It must be youthful.
