A Wonder of Science
There has been much interest In the
German medical world over a new
remedy for fever which has been an
nounced to the faculty by a medical
journal of Berlin the Klinische Woche
sehrift
There is also interest outside the med

new remedy which is as follows and
an entire paragraph is required to give
it
DLmethylamidophenildimethylpyrazo

FIBEOIB TUM0K
Expelled by Lydia E Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound
Interview With Mrs B A Lombard
1 have reason to think that I would
not be here now if it had not been for
Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound It cured me of a fibroid tumor
in my womb
Doctors could do nothing forme and
they could not cure me at the hospital
I will tell you about it
I had been in my usual health but
had worked quite hard When my
monthly period came on I flowed very
badly The doctor gave me medicine
but it did me no good He said the
flow must be stopped if possible and
he must find the cause of my trouble
Upon examination he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever About that time a lady
called on me and recommended Lydia
E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
said she owed her life to it I
said I would try it and did Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular I still continued taking the
Compound for some time Then the
doctor made an examination again
and found everything all right The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone Mrs B A Lombabd

SOMEBODYS DARLING
into the ward of the whitewashed walls
Where the dead and dying lay
Wounded hy bayonets shells and bills
Somebodys darling was borne one day
Somebodys darling so young and so
brave
Wearing still on his pale swept face
Socn to be hid by the dust of the grave
The lingering light of his boyhoods
grace
Matted and damp are the etuis of gold
Kisr jng the snow of that fair young
brow
Pale are the lips of delicate mold
Somebodys darling is dying now
Back from the beautiful blue veined face
Brush every wandering silken thread
Cross his hands as a sign of grace
Somebodys darling is still and dead
Kiss him once more for somebodys sake
Murmur a prayer soft and low
One bright curl from the cluster take
They were somebodys pride you icnow
Somebodys hand hath rested there
Was it a mothers soft and white
And have the lips of a sister fair
Been baptised in those waves of light
God knows best He was somebodys
love
Somebodys heart eishriued him near
Somebody wafted his name above
Night and morn on the wings of prayer
Somebody wept when he marched away
Looking so handsome brave and grand
Somebodys kiss on his forehead lay
Somebody clung to his parting hand
Somebodys watching and waiting for
him
Yearning lo hold him again to her heart
There he lies with the blue eyes dim
And smiling child like lips apirt
Tenderly bury the fair young detd
Pausing to drop on his grave a tear
Carve on the wooden slab at his head
Somebodys darling lies buried here

WHO MAKETH ALL
III
HE scholar sat in
his study before
his writing table
but he did not
write He leaned
his elbow on the ta
ble and his head on
his hand and he
was thinking of Phyllis far away in
Ral Pindi with her husband The ta
ble was piled with books several stood
open invitingly and a fair white sheet
of paper lay on his blotting pad but
he did not write
Presently Jakes opened tho door and
said Theres a young woman sir
asking to see you shall 1 say youre en
gaged
A young woman Takes queried
the scholar What sort of a woman
and from whence
Well sir and Jakes closed the door
behind him I do think shes from the
circus as is on the village green
From the circus repeated the
scholar What can she want
She wont give no name nor yet no
message sir Shall I say that youre
engaged sir
Jakes considered it the height of im
pudence that a hussy from the circus
should dare to ask to see his master
and longed to send her about her busi
ness Fine doings indeed for such as
she to be asking for gentlemen as bold
as brass
The scholar pondered then he iid
to himself -Phyllis would like me to
see ht r she was always kind Jakes
you can show her in
Jakes departed much displeased and
presently ushered a young woman into
the room and shut the door after her
carefully and in a fashion that said as
plainly as possible Well I wash
my hands of this foolhardy proceed
ing
The young woman advanced into The
middle of the room and then stood awk
Avardly and said nothing She was a
tall slight girl attired in a varieiy of
garmeits startling in hue and having
apparently no connection with one an
other Her hair was brushed about her
forehead and stuck out in a scries of
large rolls behind The hair was
crowned by a hat of portentous size
adornc d by several rather dejected
looking feathers But under tht furze
bush of hair the face was oval and al
most beautiful in its regularity of fea
ture and pure color
The scholar rose find bowed then
with old fashioned courtesy he set a
chair for her and having seen her seat
ed murmured something shyly as to
what he was indebted for the pleasure
of this visit
The girl stared at him with wide blue
eyes then said abruptly I say
youre a knowin old cove arent you
The scholar started a little at this de
scription of himself and waved his
hands in deprecating wise The girl
went ou Ive card in the village as
you aic always a studying old books
and knows all sorts of heathenish lingo
now do you know ow to make a love
poshin
The scholar gazed at her in speech
less astonishment then he grasped the
edge of his writing table for support
am stammered Do I understand you
to ask me if I know anything about
love philters
Yes thats the ticket said the girl
genially I want a love poshin to give
my young man Es been and took up
with Madselle Leouore what does the
trials of strength and I wants to bring
im back to me You give me the per
skiption and Ill ask the galipot to
make it up I was sure as youd
know
The scholar felt quite sorry for her
when he realized the disappointment
he was about to inflict she smiied so
prettily and looked so pleased He
shook his head then he said gently
Im afraid I am quite unable to help
you in this matter I know nothing of
such things neither do I believe that
they can have the smallest effect
Bur I thought you wa always a
studyiu ancient days said lie girl in
an argumentative voice leaning for
ward in her chair Do think ia some
of them old books waving her hantVin
the direction of the book lined walls
Aint there something in some of them
old books
I fear not sad the scholar almost
sadly she was so eager so much iu
earnest The girl drew herself tq i
her chair and said abruptly
rm a honest girl I am
That I am sure you are and there
fore you need no love philters Believe
me you are quite pretty and good
enough to inspire love an honest love
without recourse to magic The
scholar spoke persuasively his voice
was very gentle and his manner court
ly The girl winked her wide blue eyes
and made a little swallowing motion
with her throat then she cougued and
continued
My fathers brought us up strict a
ave E doant old with swearn for
women and if we was light ed ay
the orse wip about our shoulders e
would Es clown in our show e is
There was silence for a minute in the
big library then the scholar said gent
ly Why do you want a love philter
Is the man you are engaged to lickle
We e runs after Madselle Leon
ore and I cant stand it and I rates
im and e laughs at me and Im beast
ly miserable I am
The girls voice broke and great tears
rolled down her cheeks The scholar
was much distressed lie was a very
learned man and instructed in the best
wisdom of many lauds but he had also
studied diligently a book that it re
quires no great erudition to understand
but only what is quite as rare a hum
ble heart A certain saying in that
book which runs But thou hast mer
cy upon all and winkest at the sins of
men because they should amend
came into his mind and the trouble of
this poor circus girl was very real to
him She wiped her eyes with a gayly
bordered pocket handkerchief and
sa id
What would a lidy do
The scholar pondered for a moment
then said diffidently and with extreme
shyness I think that she would not
show that she minded That she would
try to be always sweet and good-tempered
and gracious above all to Mad
am Dont let him
think himself so precious my child We
all value what is hard to obtain Hes
too sure of you or he wouldnt tease
you If you are wise and if he is
worth having if hes worthy of you
and of your good father youll And
that all this nonsense will come to an
end as a tale that is told
It was a long speech for the scholar
to make he flushed a little as he made
it and the circus girl gazed at him ad
miringly exclaiming
You are a knowin old cove
The scholar shook his head and said
humbly I fear I am ignorant in
these matters I have only known three
Avomen intimately in life my moth
er my wife and my daughter
Is that what your daughter did
the young lidy as is just married she
asked eagerly
I dont know what she did answer
ed the scholar gently and indeed it was
true for the engagement had come up
on him as a bolt from the blue while he
was thinking of Phyllis as still in pina
fores
Was she very ard to please per
sisted the girl
Hah Phyllis been hard to please the
scholar asked himself He did not
know It had not taken long to please
her anyhow so he said I dont
know if she was hard to please but I
know that whatever site did was right
and sweet and womanly and you can
do all that yourself my dear
I wish I was a lidy sighed the cir
cus girl but father says as one can
be as good a girl in a troupe as if one
was a scripture reader e do I see
youre a sky pilot by yer choker What
do you say
I quite agree with your father hv
must be a most seusible man aud I
wish I knew him Believe me a cir
cus lady can Jje just as useful as any
other if she will only try and I am
sure youll try
The girl rose from her seat so did
the scholar she held out her hand to
him and he took it and the old man
and the girl looked into each others
eyes
Good bye said the girl Im glad I
came though you are so ignorant about
love poshins
Im very glad you came said the
scholar heartily and believe me you
need no love poshins you are quite
charming enough without The girl
flushed up to the roots of the furze
brush Then the scholar said Would
you like some roses The girl said
Please sir in the shyest smallest
voice and the scholar held the door
open for her to pass out Then he fol
lowed her across the hall and through
the open front door He took his
from his pocket and he cut
a great bunch of the roses that were
famed throughout the county then he
walked down the drive with her and
at the lodge gate he bade her good by
She started down the road and then
looking back and seeing him still stand
ing at the gate she ran back saying
breathlessly I wish youd come and
see me ride I can jump through the
oops beautiful I cau I should like
to show yer
The scholars eyes were very kind
but he shook his head saying Im
getting an old man my dear I hardly
ever go out at night
But theres a matinee an afternoon
show she explained this afternoon
The scholar wavered then the be
seeching blue eyes caught his and held
them Phyllis would like me to he J
murmured then I will come and see
you ride this afternoon
I shall look out for you mind said
the girl dont you forget
The scholar did not forget he went
