Every vonian who is approaching maternity
Every woman who feels that life is a burden
Every woman who has tried all other means to regain health without success
Every woman who is going through that critical time the change of life
Is invited to write to Mrs Pinkham Lynn Mass in regard to her trouble and
the most expert advice telling exactly how to obtain a CURE will be sent abso
lutely free of cost
The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any subject
is experience experience creates knowledge

a record of success as Mrs Pinkham has had
Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year Some
personally others by mail And this has been going on for twenty years
day after day and day after day
Twenty years of constant success think of the knowledge thus
gained Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with
such an experience especially when it is free
Mrs Hayes of Boston wrote to airs Pinkham when she was
in great trouble Her letter shows the result There are actually
thousands of such letters in Mrs Pinkhams possession

swollen and I have had flowing spells for three years My appetite is not

A Governors First Dress Suit
The first time I ever put on a
dress suit said ex Governor Scofield
of Minnesota was at the reception
and ball which followed in the evening
of the day that I was inaugurated I
remember that ve had to stand on a
little platform raised a few inches
from the floor while tne crowd pass
ed along and shook hands with Mrs
Scofield and myself
I weighed just ninety six pounds at
that time and was as thin as a match
Mrs Scofield is a fleshy woman and
as I looked at her during a lull in
the procession and then sized up my
own diminutive anatomy I whispered
to her
Martha we must look like the
living skeleton and the fat woman in
the dime museum to these people
That settled Mrs Scofield for the
balance of the evening and to save
herself she could not get rid of the
ripples of mirth that would sweep
over her face and break out into peals
of laughter as the ridiculousness of
the situation appeared to her

FIGHT WITH ESKIMO DOGS
In a long Journey by fled in the
region of Great Bear Lake Mr Eger
ton R Young had a trying adventure
with Eskimo dogs which he relates in
My Dogs In the Northland He had
traveled several days with his own
dogs to the point wherethe Indians
were to meet him and replace the
tired dogs with fresh ones When the
dogB were changed his guide who had
accompanied him throughout the jour
ney to this point gave him a heavy
whip and said Now do not speak a
word and there will be no trouble
They do not like white people but if
you do not speak to them they will
never suspect in their anxiety to get
home
I looked the fierce brutes over
says Mr Young placed my heavy
whip so I could instantly seize it and
made up my mind that I was in for a
wild ride The owner of the dogs ap
plied his long whiplash to them and
away we started at a furious gallop
We had traveled Eome distance
when I was startled by a splendid
black fox which dashed out of a rocky
island on our left He struck across
our trail and made for another island
of rocks half a mile to our right
The dogs fells into disorder and
sped after him As we had fifteen
miles yet to go it was not safe to he
racing after a fox on this great lake
So I resolved to break the silence and
bring the dogs baok to the trail even
if I had to fight them
Bracing myself on my knees I
gripped the heavy whip so that 1
could use the handle of it as a club
Then I shouted to the dogs in Indian
to stop and turn to the left

Tho Instant they heard my voice
they did stop so suddenly that my

dog of the train They came at me
furiously The leader of tho train tho
fiercest of the four began the attack
It was well for me that he did for he
swung the others about into such a
position that only one at a time could
reach me As he sprang to meet me
I guarded my face with one hand
which I wrapped in the furs while I
belabored the dog over the head with
the oak handle of the whip which was
hard as iron
Three or four good blows were all
that he needed With a howl he
dropped on the ice while tho next
one in tho train tried to get hold of
me One fortifnate clip on tho side of
his head sent him tumbling over his
leader Then I had to face tho third
dog which proved the ugliest cus
tomer of all for his head took a pro
digious amount of thumping before ho
yielded Failing to get hold of me he
tore the robes and the side of the
cariole which was made of parch
ment
It was fortunate for me that the
traces cf the fourth dog fastened to
the front of the cariole so held him
back that he was unable to do more
than growl at me
When I had conquered the third
dog I uncoiled the lash of the whip
and shouted Marche The leader
wheeled to the left and away they
flew I had no hesitancy in speaking

SHE BOILED THE SEEDS
-
Just at the northwest border of By
field parish lies the settlement called
Dogtown They raise a very peculiar
cucumber early richly flavored and
singularly smooth en the outside De
termined to keep the plant to them
selves as it brought in a good in
come they agreed never to sell a
seed outside the settlement But a
certain grocer in Newburyport deter
mined to have some of these seeds
He commenced by making a friend
of an old dame who occasionally came
into his store to trade by treating her
to sundry potations of cordial a plug
of tobacco and snuff One day after
the good dame had swallowed two
bumpers of peppermint cordial for a
pain the subject was broached tell
ing the dame that he knew it was
against their rules to part with the
seeds but he had a friend who was
bound for New Orleans who wished
for some of them to take with him
and he thought if she had no objec
tion he should like some as it would
in no way interfere with the market
The dame promised the grocer the
seeds and got a quarter of a pound
of snuff on the spot with a promise
of a bottle of cordial upon the de
livery of the goeds
The next week true to her word
she came with ihe seeds and got her
bottle The following season the gro
cer planted his seeds with a great deal
of care Cucumber time came but he
had not even a vine He dug up the
seeds and found that they had not
commenced to germinate So the next
time the dame came into the store
he told her the fact
How do ycu know she said I
thought you were going to send them
to New Orleans
Yes but I kept a few to try them
myself and see how they were going to
work said the grocer
Dont ye spose I knowed all that
returned the dame You port mer
chants arnt nigh so sharp as you
J think ycu be I knowd what you was
up to so I thought Id fixe ye I biled

AFTER THE WELSH RAREBIT
It was long past midnight and Bil
kins was asleep He Avas dreaming
sweetly and this is what he dreamed
He had been appointed chief care
taker of the animals of the estate of
John D Rockefeller All went
smoothly until a strike was dclared
against his authority The revolt was
headed by an enormous tomcat who
was the Sam Parks of the Rockefeller
animals Bilkins remonstrated with
the feline walking delegate He did
not know where he learned the lan
guage but he was talking cat talk
to the leader of the strikers During
the negotiations the tomcat took the
shape of a kangaroo only he walked
on his hind legs in dignified fashion
instead of leaping about
Bilkins grew terrified and shcutcd
for help still in the cat language
The walking delegate then picked up
a baseball bat and Bilkins again cried
cut for aid but the cat brought the
hat down on Bilkins head with ter
rific force Then Bilkins woke up
His wife was thumping him vigor
ously
Subconsciously he caught his last
feline cry and knew he had had a
bad case of nightmare Mrs
Bilkins knew it too and when her
husband tried to explain it to her his
tongue still tangled with the intrica
cies of feline language did not put
forth intelligible Anglo Saxon and
she pounded him still harder Bilkins
was now sufficiently awake to grasp
the situation and he began to laugh
He laughed so hard that he could ex
plain nothing and his wife still
thought he was struggling with the
nightmare Her thumps came with
redoubled vigor and as she pounded
him she began to cry
Hold on Im awake now Bil
kins managed to gasp
Im so glad sobbed Mrs Bilkins
Do you know you were yowling just
like a cat
Bilkins has sworn off on rarebits

Odd Mistake rn Dictionaries
Dr Murray in his discourse on Dis
tionaries could give some amusing
instances of definitions according to
the London Chronicle Ash for in
stance says that esoteric is a mis
spelling of exoteric Johnson defined
coaxation as the art of coaxing in
stead of the croaking of frogs and
pastern as the knee of a horse a
blunder which was copied by subse
quent dictionary makers Webster
too in his first edition went astray
in cricket terms Leg as a verb he
defines to strike in the leg used in
the game of cricket Wicket keeper
is given as the piayer in cricket who
stands with a bat to protect the wick
et from tne ball Longstop is said
to be one who is set to stop balls a
long distance
