General Miles has received an invi tation to be present at the coming mil itary maneuvers at Windsor, England. New York authorities are making it warm for the "healers," but the “heel era" are still having things largely their own way. The late ex-Governor Flower was once asked by a less successful finan cier how to succeed in Wall street. 'By working harder than at any other trade or profession on earth,” was the an swer. “But won’t that wear you out?” “Not before your time.” General Von Faikenstein, command er of the Fifteenth army corps of Gci muriy, garrisoned in Alsace-Iuirratne, rose from a bed of serious illness to receive the emperor last week, labored hard at parades and maneuvers for one day, dined the emperor in the evening and was found dead in bed the follaw lug morning. General Funston was recently spok en to about the conduct of some Kin sas soldiers on leave in Manila. They were very noisy and harmless. “Yet don't you think they're keeping it up pretty late?" “Not for Kansas. They always keep it for forty-eight hours there. It may be a little late for n'ght before last, but for tonight it’s right in the shank of the evening. The difficulty of getting men to serve on Juries has reached such a poin* in New York that the appellute court Jus tices have obtained from the cl rks a complete return showing how many talesmen responded to the calls upon them, with the number excused and the exact reasons therefor.

Even were I dis posed to accede to these applications for promiscuous assistance my re sources for philanthropy have already been fully hypothecated and bombard ing me with further appeals Is simply adding to the postal revenue.” The United States transport McPhcr pon, which left San Juan May It.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound and think there is no medicine in the world like it. I suffered for nine years, and sometimes for twelve weeks at a time I could not stand on my feet. I had female troubles of all kinds; backache, and headache all the time. Seven different doctors treated me. Some said I would have to go to the hospital and have an operation performed. But oh I how thankful I ain that I did not, that I tried your Vegetable Com pound instead. I cannot say too much in its praise, nor thank you enough for what it has done for me. I want you to publish this in nil the papers for the good of other *( sufferers.” The wives and mothers of America are given to over work. Let them bo wise in time and at the first indication of female trouble write to Mrs. Pink ham at Lynn, Mass., forhcradvice. This advice is promptly given without charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham’s experience in treating female Ills is unparalleled; tor years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has hud solo charge of the correspondence department of her great busi ness, advising and helping by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during a single year.
