i ^ ^ —- r \ n p Miss Hapgood tells how she escaped an awful operation by using Lydia E Pinkham’s Vege table Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pin-shami— I suffered for four years with what the doctors called Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaritis), which is I a most distressing and painful ailment, affecting all the surrounding parts, undermining the constitution, and sap ping the life forces. If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the ' sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and com pared that person with me as I am to- j day, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation.”— Miss Ikenb Hapgood, 1022 Sandwich St. Windsor, Out. — $5000 forfeit If orleinal of about letttr f roving genuineness cannot be produccJ. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflammation of the womb, and many other causes. The slightest indication of trouble with the ova-ies, indicated by dull throbbing pain in the side, ac companied by heat and shooting pains, should claim your instant attention. It will not cure itself, and a hospital operation, with all its terrors, may easily result from neglect. Often the explanation has nothing to do with the case. Am I in favor of expansion?

T90I. by Daily Story Publishing Company. ‘ _J 'T speek ze Engleesh vera bad. Ees itt not so?” "It is a very difficult language,” she responded. "So, so. Itt ees like ze sea zat goes dis way and zat, vut-vut you calls it?” "Choppy.” she replied. "Si, si. zat is what you calls ay Engleesh—choppy.” "You are mistaken. I called it nothing of the kind. You asked me about the sea. I said nothing about your use of the language. Of course, j it is very difficult for one to take up a new speech. You do quite well.” For this he was grateful, and he was framing his thankfulness when a large, buoyant man of aggressive heaithfulness approached. The sea had no terrors for him. He trod the j deck like one born to command, rot ■ afraid of storm either on land or else- | where. He had one of those large j framed and hopeful personalities which belong to the successful American character, and he looked as if he could buy the ship without severely intrenching upon his fortune. He bowed in a familiar yet business like manner and said something to the young lady. She excused herself and made toward the cabin door. The foreigner and the American stood in talk for a few moments and then part ed. as the American frankly did not like to exhaust his patience upon the stumbling sentences of the polite ■ and very deferential European. That night in the smoking room the American. Mr. John Henry Martin- j dale, had made himself more popular ! than usual by his good stories and liberality. Count Fricadelli was con suming cigarettes on a neighboring sofa. Precisely at ten-thirty, as was his custom. Mr. Martindale arose, looked at his watch to see if the ship's clock was attending strictly to Its duty, and bade a cheery good night to every one. and then quiet j settled for a moment upon the room. There was the swish of the waves without, and there was the toll of the boat, but all else seemed strangely i silenced as if a little storm had pass ed in eventide and the twilight had j settled down. But it did not last for long. Aiartindaie is a regular old brick, suddenly exclaimed a man whose voice filled the entire apartment. "He j is a true American, and while people i say that he is lucky. I am sure he I deserves everyth.ng he has got. Cer tainly there is nobody who enjoys life more, or who can tackle a situation with better humor or bigger nerve. I was in Cariopclis when he bad the street railway fight. It was when the lines were being changed from the old horse cars to the trolley sys tem, and he wanted new franchises. The Aldermen or the City Council i men. or whatever you call them, all expressed their willingness to do whatever the old man wanted them to do. He refused to pay a red cent and put his refusal upon the score of public improvement and enterprise. Well, their favor was rather suspici I ous, but at the same time it seemed genuine. They actually voted just what the old man wanted, end then after everything was fixed and the bosses thought they had the situation In their hands they met and rescind ed their action, and on top of all the bosses and the crowd sold they could not deliver the goods and old Martin dale cleaned up a cool million and busted the whole gang. Then he got what he wanted after all. The deals in that city must have netted him from one to two millions. Then he • ■ I “Choppy,” she replied. I came back to the stock, short. He I took up two other lines and began his 1 manipulations. They were perfectly : confident he would not try the seme j trick three times running, but they : did not know their man. He suc ceeded the third time, and then on the fourth affair when they tried to outdo nim in another city he took the other track and made more thai} in any other deal he had attempted. He is worth ten mil lions.” . "Who will get all that money?” in quired a young person, who should have been in bed. “His nieces, I suppose,” was the re ply. “He has no children, you know, and his wife, who is with him, has I been ill ever since we left Southamp ' ton.” Ten millions! Count Fricadelli could scarcely believe his ears. It means wealth beyond anything his j imagination could comprehend. Ten millions! Two hundred million francs! It was grand. It was magni ficent! On the next morning when he saw the same young lady again pacing up and down the deck, he put all his energy into the English he could | summon, and with profuse apologies | made comments upon the sea, the earth, the sky. and all that therein is. She was pleasant, and he was en thusiastic. and when the buoyant Hr. Martindale came out again to say “With Mr. Martindale. my uncle!” something to her, and after she had disappeared, the Count let his en thusiasm bubble forth in many ear nest but somewhat broken syllables, j ' Mees Wiltsong, she is so charm ing.” "She Is a very pleasant young | lady,” replied Mr. Martindale, and then he walked down the deck with a broad grin on his face. After that he called her “Mees Wiltsong.” The Count was very attentive, very persistent, very gallant, and every | time Miss Wilson appeared on deck in some mysterious manner he man ! aged to be near to offer every atten tion that gallantry could suggest, that : invention could find. He was unde J niably handsome and his English im I proved with the voyage. It was as if ! the shaking up had rubbed the rough j est edges off his syllables. When j Miss Wilson was not about he culti ( vated Mr. Martindale and the burly millionaire enjoyed the attention. Finally, one day. in a great burst of ! confession and confidence the Count said, “Meester Martindale. I would be so glad to pay my attentions to your niece.” “Why; certainly. Go ahead,” ex claimed Mr. Martindale with a laugh that was on the point of an explosion that might have shaken the ship if it had found its full vent. And so it went on, and the climax came a lovely morning when the great vessel passed Fire Island on her homeward stretch through the gate way of the new world. The young lady with the flush of health deep in her cheeks, her eyes as clear as the blue of the skies, and her whole being a personification of vigor and beautiful happiness, was standing in a corner by herself when the Count approached and told her that he had found that for which he had searched the earth in vain—the object of his love—the most adorable woman, whom he loved with an un selfishness that no language could ex press While he was speaking she wm gazing toward the horizon, and there was upon her face a half smile like the play of sunlight upon the face of a goddess. Finally he exclaimed, “I have ze permission of Mr. Martin dale, your uncle, to speek zus wiz you.” ‘ With Mr. Martindale, my uncle!” she exclaimed. ‘‘Yes, Mees,” he replied, ‘'wlz him; he knows of it. You may ask him, he will comprehend.” She said nothing, but seeing the ro tund form of the millionaire coming down the deck advanced to meet him, and without a word came back with him to where the Count was standing. “Mr. Martindale,” she said, very soberly, “I understand Count Frica delli to say that you are my uncle, and that you have given him per mission to speak to me upon a some what personal subject.” Mr. Martindale smiled broadly and replied, “The Count must be mistaken. I have never claimed to be your uncle, although 1 should be very proud if I were.” The Count was becoming strangely agitated, but he said, “Meester Martin dale, you said I might pay my atten tions to your niece.” “Well, Count, I have =ot the slight est objections to that, but it happens that the only niece I have lives in Da kota and has the finest family that any man ever saw.” “Then, Mees Wiltsong,” mumbled the poor man on the verge of col lapse— “ ‘Mees Wiltsong,’ ” said Mr. Martin, dale, taking the words from him. . most delightful and a most capable professional nurse who has been most attentive to my wife during our lit tle trip to Europe, and she is a lady whom I can cordially recommend to any one needing her services.” It wculd be hard to follow the rest of this disaster, but “Mees Wfltsong” and Mr. Martindale were laughing after the Count had found solitude in the stateroom, from which he did not emerge until the stewards were al most obliged to put him off the ship. HOW THE JAPANESE KNEW. Had Spies to Watch Building of Rus sian Battleship at Philadelphia. A story is being told which sheds an interesting light on the marvelous 1 foresight and precaution that charac terized the preparations of the Japan ese fer the present war. Seme years ago a Japanese agent came to Phila delphia with a letter of introduction to a prominent Philadelphian who had traveled in Japan. This Philadelphian tells the story. The letter was written by a Japan ese official who knew the Philadel phian, and it stated that if he would i help the bearer in what he desired the 1 favor would be greatly appreciated. The favor was for the Philadelphian to simply introduce the agent to a first-class firm of detectives. This was done and the agent described as a responsible person. He had plenty of money, and a bargain was made with the firm, the latter to receive a large sum of money. The detectives were required to dress in the clothes of laborers and secure work in Cramp's shipyard and then- to gather full information about the Russian battleship Variag, then in early course of construction. This* they did, and the Japanese govern I ment was supplied with every detail of the construction and armament of the Variag. The officials at Cramps do not yet know exactly how the Japs obtained it.—Philadelphia Press. WHY HE QUIT PLAYING POKER. Lessen Which an Old Gambler Taught Novice at the Game. An old man sat at a late breakfast in a hotel cafe last Saturday, when a young man with haggard face and downcast eyes took a place near him. ‘ Tom." said the newcomer to the attendant. "I must go light, for I play ed in hard luck last night.” The old man nad finished and sat •studying the other's face as he ate. Shortly he took a roll of bills from his pocket and laid it in front of him. “It’s yours.” he said. Mechanically and with a trembling hand the young man took the money. “You were in the game?” he said. "Yes, and that is your money, about $300. Quit playing poker. I began it sixty years ago on the Mississippi riv er and have made a living out of such fools as you. With my coolness it’s robbery to play against your reck lessness. I see desperation in your face. 1 am told that you are a teller in a bank, and that you have a wife, to whom you will lie about your absence from home last night. Quit poker.” He walked out. and the young man. lowering his head to his folded arms, did not move until the attendant aroused him.—New York Times. The Bismillah Ceremony. A little Moslem when she is four years four months old goes through the "Name-of-God,” or Bismillah, cere mony—which begins her real life. She is dressed in eloth-of-gold. with a veil and wreath of flowers: and friends are invited to salute the little queen. She sits on a gold cushion, which must be borrowed if she hasn't one, and all the rest sit on the floor. Tht*h an old mullah recites very slowly a certain verse from the Koran, which is also written in saffron on a silver plate Bibi holds in her hand. She runs her fingers over the words, and stammers them after him. “Say it not. Bifai; be a good girl, then you shall see your presents.” Soon they all cry, "Sha bash! Shabash! Wah! Wah!” and the ceremony of the little girl’s first les son in reading, writing and religion is over. She salaams mamma, then shows her presents to her sahelis (girl friends).—Edmund Russell, in Everybody’s Magazine. Children's Children. John D. Crimmins. who made last month an unusually favorable impres sion upon the Apostolic Society of Rome, is never more delightful than when he is telling anecdotes of child ren. “A. little girl of seven,” Mr. Crim mins said one day. "came to me after cnurch on a Sunday morning and asked: “ ‘Have I any children?’ "I dropped my newspaper and re garded her with amazement. " ‘What?’ I said. ‘“Have 1 any children?’ she re peated. “ Well, I should hope not,’ I ex claimed. ‘Why on earth do you ask me such a question as that?’ “ ‘Why, in church this morning,’ said the little girl, ‘the clergyman preached about children’s children, and l wondered if I had any.’ ” Paper Gloves and Stockings. Paper gloves and stockings are now being manufactured in Europe. The stockings have been carefully ex amined by experts, and they are loud in their praise of them. Let no one | assume, they say, that these stockings, because they are made of paper, will only last a few days, for they will Iasi i almost as long as ordinary stockings, i The reason is because the paper of| which they are made was. during the j process of manufacture, rendered into ! a substance closely resembling wool, | and was then woven and treated as ordinary wool. “The Sunrise Never Failed Us Yet.’’ ! Upon the sadness of the sea The sunset broods regretfully. From the far lonely spaces slow Withdrawn the wistful after glow. So out of life the splendor dies. So darken all the happy skies. So gathers twilight, cold arc stern. But overhead the planets burn. And' up the East another day, Shall chase the bitter dawn away. What though our eyes with tears be wet! The sunrise never failed us yet. The blush of dawn may yet restore Our light, and hope and joy once more. Sad soul take comfort, nor forget That sunrise never failed us yet. . — ^ ** A VENERABLE PASTOR CURED BY PE-RU-NA. Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Especially Adapted to the De clining Powers of Old Age. In old age the mucous membranes t become thickened and partly lose cheir function.
