II er Health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. Read Her Letter.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—For several years after my last child
was born I felt a peculiar weakness, such as I never had experienced
before, with severe pains in the ovaries and frequent headaches.
“ I tried the doctor’s medicines and found it money worse than
wasted. A friend who had been cured through the use of Lydia E.
J’inkbam’s Vegetable Compound advised me to try' it. I did
so, also your Sanative Wash, and I must say I never experienced
such relief before. Within six weeks I was like another woman. I
felt young and strong and happy once more.
“ This is several years ago, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is my only medicine. If I ever feel bad or tired a few
doses brings instant relief.”—Mrs. Francis Podmore.

SUCCESS IN BEGGING.
STREET MENDICANTS WHO MAKE
THEIR WORK AN ART.
Home Met an Much a* (ICO A Day—
Average Income la Much More Than
('an He Made by Working at a
Trade.
"It requires something more than
nerve to be a successful beggar," said
the old crippled man. "The asking
for alms is the least part of the profes
sion. People think because we ask
t-verv passerby for something that .ve
expect each to contribute. This is the
reverse of the story. We know pretty
well as soon as a man or a woman
heaves in sight whether we can look
for a lift or not. We study humanity.
We get so we can tell from the face
what the inclination of the person is.
iAs not every cynic looks sour, so every
beneficent person does not wear his or
her heart on her sleeve. In fact, we
get more from the sour-looking peo
ple than from those who are gay.
Those who are gay are usually broke,
and if they are not they are too busy
figuring on having a good time with
their money to help a beggar out.
uusuiess men are generally easy
marks, because they would rather give
up than be detained with the harrow
ing details of how the arm or leg or
eye was lost in a terrible wreck. Grab
one when he is in a hurry, and he will
part with a coin nine times out of ten
rather than miss the engagement,
even if it be a lunch appointment.
Children, contrary to general belief,
are poor givers. In the first place,
their nickels are few and far between
as a rule, and in the next place they
are usually in a rush to get to the
nearest candy store and spend it.
VY'omen, too, pass us by. Whether
they expect the men to do all the giv
ing. or whether they dread contact
with suffering, I know not, but 1 do
know that few women contribute.
"But by far the bulk of the money
which is given to beggars comes from
the middle classes, and this, perhaps
is due to their knowledge of, and ac
quaintance with suffering themselves.
Most of them have had more of the
ups and downs than come to the very
rich, and they have a fellow feeling
for us. They are the ones who stop
and listen to the story we have fixed
up. We reach them at once, and very
rarely fail to land them.
“By the way, if the man is a good
artist at his story and knows the
game, begging is not such an unprofit
able business after all. As a means
of earning a living it beats several of
the trades all hollow. The proceeds
do not seem large to the casual ob
server, but when you figure up at the
end of a day a beggar who cannot
average from $7 to $10 a day is not a
good hand at the business. I have
made as much as $20 a day for months
at a time. My family lived well, and
J managed to do so at the same time.
During gala days and carnival times
we sometimes clean up as much as $50
a day. It has run higher than that.
The big crowds now in the city have
helped things considerably. All of the
visitors have money, they have come
here to spend it and if it does not go
one way it will another, and so they
turn it loose without a struggle. A
man cannot be proud and be a beggar,
but he can sometimes afford to put his
pride in his pocket for a while if he
is making money. YY’hen he has the
money he will find that his pride is
all right.”—New Orleans Times-Demo
crat.
Certainly Explanatory.
A friend of mine, a Greek professor
who runs over here for his holidays, is
with us now. He got over-excited the
other day when the telegrams came
from Athens about, the shindy ovei
some new translations of the evengeli
cal books. “Your people,” I said tc
him, "seem to be
“Fighting like devils for reconcilia
tion.
And hating each other for the love ol
God.”
That launched him into a torrent ol
explanations and I had such a Niagara
of words poured over me for 20 min
utes that. 1 began eagerly to watch foi
a chance of changing the subject. II
came at last. “The Greek language,’
he said, by way of interlude befort
branching out again into theology, “if
a very exact language. We can express
our thoughts and ideas with the most
exact nicety.” “Then tell me,” 1 said
"what you think of Egypt. “In this
beautiful country,” he answered, “you
( have an apotheosis of nature and an
apodeikneusis of theopratic omnipo
tence.” 1 think I must relearn English
from a Greek professor. Anglo-Saxon

That Coronation Visit.
The gossip about Miss Alice Roose
velt and the coronation of King Ed
ward calls to mind that President Van
Huron's son attended the coronation
of Queen Victoria," said Mr. Frank N.
hesly, of Saratoga. W. Y. 'T have been
particularly interest*^ in the talk re
garding Miss Roosevelt's rank. The
rumor that she could go by the title
of 'princess' would be w'orthy of con
sideration had her father named her as
envoy from this country. As it Is. she
will have to he just a plain American
girl. When Van Buren’s son, John Van
Buren, attended Victoria’s coronation,
he was the special embassy, and was
given the title of ‘Prince John.’ That,
of course, was a different situation. In
cidentally that title had a great deal to
do with his fathera defeat for another
term as president. The people got the
idea into their heads that he had be
come a plutocrat, and the idea didn't
jibe with their domestic sentiments." —

The London Times in 61.
The Times, says Prof. Goodwin
Smith in the March Atlantic, after a
little wavering carried its vust power
to the side of the smith, whose cause
it embraced with an intensity, not 10
say with a fury, surprising in com
parison with the sure-looted discretion
usually characteristic of its manage
ment. To the last it persisted with
unabated confidence in assuring its
readers of southern victory. When
from Grant's lines before Petersburg,
Richmond was almost in sight, and it
was evident that the next move on
the board would be checkmate, the
Times continued to give ear to the
asseverations of Mr. Spence that the
triumph of the south was at hand. The
Times really represented only the
wealthier and more aristocratic class
in England. In America it was taken
as representing the whole nation.

“In one of his recent lectures the
leading citizen of the town introduced
Ernest Thompson Seton in these
words:
“It. took a Roman to tell the Greeks
that they had a Homer, it took a
German to tell England that she had
a Shakespeare, and now it takes an
Englishman to tell us that we have
wild animals.' ”

“l suffered much as many other

“Nine boxes of this remedy cured

“I can heartily recommend them

□OST people think catarrh is a
disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. It may he that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is so it is so only because
these parts tire more exposed to the
vicissitudes of the. climate tliau the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duet, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tairh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many eases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.
