If you had positive proof that a certain remedy for
female ills had made many remarkable cures, would you
not feel like trying it ?
If during the last thirty years we have not succeeded in
convincing every fair-minded woman that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has cured thousands and thou
sands of women of the ills peculiar to their sex, then we
long for an opportunity to do so by direct correspondence.
Meanwhile read the following letters which we guarantee
to be genuine and truthful.
Hudson, Ohio.—“I suffered for a long time from a weakness,
Inflammation, dreadful pains each month and suppression. I
had been doctoring and receiving only temporary relief, when a
friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. I did so, and wrote to you for advice. I have faithfully
followed your directions and now, after taking only five bottles
of the Vegetable Compound, I have every reason to believe I am
a well woman. I give you full permission to use my testimonial.”
—Mrs. Lena Carmocino, Hudson, Ohio. R. F. D. No. 7.
St. Regis Falls, N. Y.—“Two years ago I was
so bad that I had to take to my bed every month,
and it would last from two to three weeks. I
WTote to you for advice and took Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound in dry’form. I am
si* happy to say that I am cured, thanks to your
fij medicine and good advice. You may use my
letter for the good of others." — Mrs. J. H.
Breyere, St. Regis Falls, N. Y.
There is absolutely no doubt about the
lability of this grand old remedy, made from
I the roots and herbs of our fields, to cure
female diseases. We possess volumes of proof of this fact,
enough to convince the most skeptical.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
BHBk Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health free of charge.

About the New Orange Cucumber.
From the New York World.
A fruit that is half orange and half cu
cumber is the remarkable product of three
years of careful experimenting by a young
Massachusetts horticulturist, Howard S.
Hill, of Gardner. He began by mixing
the male pollen of the orange with the
female pollen of the cucumber.
A strange looking product was the re
sult. The color and shape are nearly that
of an orange. The skin is smooth like the
cucumber. The vine on which the fruit
grows is but little changed from that of
the cucumber. The taste of the orange-cu
cumber is more acid, and a little more at
tractive than that of the cucumber. Last
year Mr. Hill mixed the male orange pol
len with the female pollen of the orange
cucumber. The result was a more marked
orange sort of a cucumber.
Last fall he mixed as Defore and the
orange size and shape, the naval being dis
tinct and full of seeds. The section marks
of the orange show through the skin, but
when the product is sliced into sections,
do not exist within, the texture and com
position are still the cucumber, though
the substance is softer, the inner seeds
smaller, and to the taste slightly sweet,
but exceedingly agreeable.
THE KENTUCKIAN WAS PLEASED.
He Secured a Good Half-Section in
Central Canada.
It is not only from Kentucky, but
from thirty-five to forty different
states that there comes the expression
of satisfaction from those who have
taken up lands In Central Canada as
a free homestead or have purchased
lands.
Mr. E. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken
tucky, writes to a Canadian govern
ment official, and says: "I have just
returned from Alberta, overjoyed with
my trip. Your literature was very
flattering, but not half what I found
It. I bought a half section between
Calgary and Edmonton, one mile from
railroad, near a good town. This Is the
best country Tever saw or ever expect
to see. I will go in the spring and
get to work on my place. I think it
is the coming country of the world.”
Some of the papers describe the set
tling of the Canadian West as “becom
ing a fever with a great many people.
The lure of Its golden promises is
creeping Into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
of that unsettled territory.” This
paper editorially cautions its readers
to exercise care and thought before
moving to a distant country. This
would be a wise precaution, and Is ex
actly what the Canadian officials ask.
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years Is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Ameri
cans who have made their homes in
Canada, very few have returned. All
are satisfied.
It is all right to have a policeman
around, but a good conscience is bet
ter and costs less.

GOOD-NIGHT STORIES
By Farmer Smith.
THE WASH RAG DOG.
“Daddy," said Ethel one night, "do
tell me more about Old Lady Fiddle
sticks' dog.”
Her father tucked her in bed and be
gan:
“When the old lady got back from the
sky the morning after the Gentle
Breeze promised her the Wash Rag
Dog she heard a very loud barking, and
upon opening the door saw the most
peculiar dog she had ever seen. It
looked just like a large wash rag, only
it had legs and two beady eyes, which
closed every time it barked, and it
seemed to bark all the time.
“ 'I see that the Gentle Breeze has
been here before me and has provided
me with a dog,' said the old lady.
" 'I wonder what I shall call him,'1
she said thoughtfully. Just then there
was a tapping at the door.
" 'Come in,' she said, and the Gentlq
Breeze came in with a rush.
- ‘You see, I have brought you the
dog. My brother, the Wind, was in a
great hurry and could come no further
than the top of the hill, so I brought
the little fellow the rest of the way.’
" What shall I cull him?' asked OlfA
Lady Fiddlesticks.
“ It seems to me my brother said his
name was Catsup,’ replied the Breeze.
“ 'What a funny name for a dog,’ said
the old lady. 'Are you sure that is
right?'
" Yes, I think that is his name,’ said
the Breeze. ‘Suppose we ask him.'
Then, turning to the dog, she said: ‘If
your name is Catsup, turn around three
times.’
"The dog shut his eyes and barked
with all his might. Then he turned
around and began wagging his tail so
hard the old lady thought he would
break himself.
" 'He wants you to give him some
popover dumplings,’ said the Gentle
Breeze. At this the Wash Rag Dog
Closed his eyes and barked for half an
hour.”
WHY DOGS TURN ROUND AND
ROUND.
"Have you ever noticed," said Ethel s
father one night, “that a dog turns
'round and 'round before he lies down?"
"Yes, Daddy, I have and will you tell
me why?” asked little Ethel.
"The story ts simple, and here it is,"
said her father.
"Old Lady Fiddlesticks was sitting by
the lire one night when she noticed her
dug Catsup turning round and 'round
b< fore he lay down. She got up to see
what was the matter. She could find
nothing, for she had a comfortable pil
low for him to sleep on. She thought
the best thing would be to ask the Gen
tle Breeze why it was he seemed so
restless before he lay down.
"So when the Gentle Breeze came the
dear old lady asked her why it was the
dog went 'round and ’round before he
lav down to go to sleep.
" ‘I know most everything about
good dogs, but that is too much for
me,' she said. ‘Suppose we write a
note to the wise old Owl. He knows
everything.’
“ -l must tell you something which
you may not know. When you wish
to know anything, you write your ques
tion on tlie leaf of a honeysuckle vine
and put it in the fire at dead of night,’
said the Gentle Breeze.
"But I will not be here then,” said
' tilt1 UiU 1<UIV.
"I intend to do it tonight, with a
honeysuckle leaf and a porcupine's quill
with some violet's blue for ink,’ said
the Gentle Breeze. And she did so and
very soon the old Owl came with his
answer. Looking very wise he said:
'• 'A very, very long time ago dogs
lived in tile long grass beside the Chick
en Broth river. Every time the dogs
wanted to lie down they turned 'round
and 'round to make a nice soft bed.
From that day to this a dog turns
'round and 'round before lying down,
and if you say 'Chicken Broth river' to
any dog he will smile at you and wag
| his tail in memory of the long ago.’
“ 'Thank you.' said the Gentle Breeze.
'I shall tell Old Lady Fiddlesticks, and
I know she will thank you.’ ”
THE NIGHTINGALE.
"Did Old Lady Fiddlesticks have a
canary to sing to her?" asked Ethel one
night.
"No." said her father, "but she had
the Nightingale and I will tell you how
she came to have one.
"One morning when Old Lady Fiddle
sticks was busy around her house get
ting ready to go to bed she heard a
knock at the door and said, 'Come in,’
for she knew it was the Gentle Breeze,
who always came to blow upon the old
lady's forehead before she went to bed.
" ‘I was listening to the most beauti
ful music I ever heard,’ said the Gentle
Breeze. It was the Nightingale sing
ing, and I have brought you a most
beautiful white rose, thinking the
Nightingale might come and sing for
you. Here is the rose.’
" ‘Thank you.' said Old Lady Fiddle
sticks, 'but what has the rose to do
with it?'
“ ‘Did you not know, my dear, that
tlie Nightingale sings its sweetest when
its hreast is pressed against a thorn?'
" ‘I did not know that,’ replied the
old lady as she smelled the fragrant
rose. 'We must not think that there
are thorns among roses, but that it is
beautiful to think that even among
thorns we find roses.’
“ 'I had not thought of it that way,'
said the Gentle Breeze. 'But here
comes the Nightingale and It will sing
now before it grows too light.’
"So the Nightingale came and, perch
ed on the stem of the beautiful rose
which the Breeze had brought, sang its
sweetest for Old Lady Fiddlesticks
while its breast was pressed against
the thorn.
“And the Gentle Breeze took the song
of the Nightingale and carried it out
so that the flowers could hear It also."
Little Ethel was fast asleep and her
father had to stop.

Han Ecifnis on Hands,
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
I years. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cutlcura Ointment
and three bottles of Cutlcura Resolvent
and wa9 completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, Inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used
one bottle, together with the Cutlcura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time I had
used the third bottle, 1 was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad
vise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cutlcura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
“My daughter's hands this summer
becazne perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cutl
cura. She used Cutlcura Resolvent
and Cutlcura Ointment and In two
weeks they were entirely cured. 1
have used Cutlcura for other members
of my family and It always proved suc
cessful. Mrs. M. E. Falln, Speers

“Third” the Most Probable.
From the Washington Star.
Harrington Putnam, Judge Gaynor’s
successor on the New York bench, Is
noted for his logical mind.
Once, at a dinner at Red Lodge, his
country house near Denning, Mr. Put
nam gave an admirable Instance of this
mental quality. The conversation had
turned to non-marrying widows, and
Mr. Putnam disposed of the question
thus:
"When a beautiful widow says that
she will not marry again on any condi
tion, It may be, first, her husband was
so good that she could never care for
another man again; or It may be, sec
ond, that her experience In married life
was such as to make her desire no more
of It; or It may be, third, that she is
telling a falsehood."
French Sport.
Charles M. Schwab was talking
about sport.
"The French,” he said, with a laugh,
"are the great sportsmen. ‘Le sport'—
that Is their adoration.
"I'll never forget how I watched,
one whole afternoon, from the Casino
terrace of Monte Carlo, a couple of
Frenchmen In a boat shooting seagulls.
The blue Mediterranean was dotted
with the beautiful white dead birds.
They were, of course, no use to any
body.
"I know a man who Joined a great
crowd about a sewer grating In the
Rue St. Honore, In Paris.
"An excited Frenchman was fishing
through the grating. He lowered a
strong hook baited with meat, and ev
ery three or four minutes he brought
up, squealing and wriggling, a fat rat.
Soon he had 80 or 40 rats lying at his
feet.
"The crowd was beside Itself with
the excellence of this sport.
"'Splendlde!' It shouted, at each
fresh catch. 'Superbe!' ‘Magnlflquel’
"Then the gendarmes came and ar
rested the rat fisher. The crowd
writhed with Indignation. It followed
the prisoner to the gendarmle. It
roared:
I " ‘A has la tyrannle! Vive le sport
I ltbre!—Down with tyrrany! Hurrah
[for untrammeled sport!'
"My friend said there came near be

The Tenderfoot Farmer
It was one of these experimental farmers, who put greets
spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory
was that it didn’t matter what the cow ate so long as she
was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had
not entered into his calculations.
It’s only a “tenderfoot” farmer that would try such
on experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feeds A/ro
telf regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav
ings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach
grows “weak” the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired
and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness*
To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the or*
Hans of dlHestlon and nutrition and brace up the nerves,
use Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It Is an an*
SalllnH remedy, and has the confidence of physicians na
veil as the praise of thousands healed by Its use.
