Mrs. Leander lanewifo of the minis
ter of the Christian Church , of No. 201C
I street , South Oniahu , Neb. , tells hovi
her daughter has beeu enabled to resume
her professional vrork as a teacher afto :
suffering for nearly three years from se
vere nervous prostration :
" "When shevas passing from girl
hood \vomanhood"says Mrs. Lauo ,
"she suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her , but a few boxes of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
" While she had escaped from one
grave trouble , she unfortunately began
to overwork , first as a student and then
as a teacher in a largo Iowa institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic , but the strain
finally told on her. She became pale ,
weak , nervous , unable to sleep ; she had
no appetite and she suffered from se
vere headaches. Then came a complete
breakdown and her work had to be given
up.
" In this emergency we again tried Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills. Improvement
came afc first slowly and wo sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining , but
we noticed that whenever she stopped
taking the pills she fell back , and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and so wo kept up the treatment
until she recovered her usual health and
was able to take a position in one of our
universities where she is happily at
work. My mother , my daughter and
myself have a well-founded confidence
in the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Bud arp always ready to recommend
them. "
TM * is simply oiie inOrG proof that
these pills seek disease at its source
and affect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these have
a common origin in impaired blood or
nerves. They put the entire system in a
healthy condition.because they intro
duce vigor that is distributed to every
part. They arrest physical decay when
it seems inevitable and find a road to
restoration when the doctor misses it.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

MONEY HIDDEN IN BOTTLES.

An interesting llttlo treasure hunt is
causing some excitement in a Stafford
shire village , says the London Mail.
Tiie treasure hunters are not rushing
round with surveyors' chains and pick-
axes , but they'search very patiently
and very persistently in old boots and
stockings , pieces of newspapers , behind
wall paper and wainscoting and in
black bottles. They arc searching for
the accumulated wealth of one Joseph
AtUvood , who , with his brother , kept
the Vine inn at Delph , Brierley Hill.
Joseph died not long ago , and his
brother being unable to transact the
business it was transferred.
The bro'/hers AtUvood had curious
ideas as to the conduct of their busi-
n ss and the employment of capital
ideas which would commend them
selves to no self-respecting economist.
Whou the elder brother died there was
a hunt for the money which it was
known he had saved. In one of the
rooms , which had not been opened for
fifteen years , 500 in gold was found ,
sto'.ved away in corners of the room.
Hundreds of silver coins were-found
corked up in gin bottles and beer jars.
Half a hundredweight of coppers
was found hidden in nooks and cran
nies , old gloves , stockings , paper bags
and envelopes and rolled up in tea
lead. Checks which had never been
presented ; a woman's watch and a
very old hunting watch were also dis
covered.
Altogether 600 has been found in
various parts of the house. When the
treasure-seekers have torn down the
walls , ripped up the floors and search
ed under the soot In the chimneys ,
claims will be pegged out ia Uie gar
den.

An Invitinjj Prospect.
Will Canada in the next quarter of
a century take the place of the United
States as the greaf wheat exporting
section of the western hemisphere ?
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as a
K heat exporting country. The increas
ing population over there has reached
the point when home consumption is
becoming annually greater in propor
tion than the increase in wheat pro
duction. As a matter of fact , wheat
j production is decreasing over there as
the land becomes more valuable and
by reason of the demand for other
forms of produce for home consump
tion. It is said that the wheat crop
tliis year is not more than 70 per cent
j oi the crop of 1901 and much below
I liie crops of 1902 and 1903. It is esti
mated that this year the United States
surplus for export will not be over
100,000,000 , which is less than any year
since 1878 with two exceptions. Not
only is this the case , but a considera
ble quantity of the best Canadian
wheat is being imported into Minne
sota and also Chicago.
All this tends to keep the price of
wheat near the dollar mark , and "dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian North
west , where land is.cheap and can be
farmed on a wholesale basis , particu
lars of which may be had from any
agent of the Canadian government
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence of in
creasing Canadian production and
keeping up the price. It constitutes
a roseate prospect for this country ,
and needs no optimistic enthusiasm to
foresee the near expansion of the
Dominion into the actual position of
the "granary of the empire.-

HER ADVENTURE.

HEN the piano organ moved
on nnd gave them a chance
to talk again the girl with the
tanned arms rearranged her cushion
on the step behind her and said : "Not
a single one. There were hardly any
of them around the place , aivl they
weren't worth while.
"Two married men , " she answered ,
"neither of them interesting and they
had their wives with them. There was
a son of-the house unattached , hut he
was painfully shy and wont to hod at
8 o'clock. . During the day he plowed
ance to ask me. But he really wasn't
so had looking and the auto was a
perfectly luxurious one. 1 had visions
cf myself leaning indolently hack in
the cushions with the landscape shoot
ing toward me and the man talking to
me in impassioned tones between toots
of the horn. These visions condoled
me as 1 knelt on his coat in the 'lust
aid helped him.
"He was rather business-like about
it , but I exerted my. = eif in an artless
way to please and I was happy to ob
serve that he soon got to doing things
wrong and when the bolt was disposed
of ho found something else that need
ed attention. He told me his name
was Wigley and that lie was staj-iiig
at the hotel : for the season. Wasn't
it lovely V
"As soon as we were through he
asked me if I wouldn't like to take a
little ride. I think the look I gave
him for the impertinence rather froze
him. for he blushed and stammered in
coherently in apology. I didn't want
to discourage him , however , so I gave
him a relenting glance as I turned to
go and said something about papa be
ing desolated for a congenial fishing
companion I had mentioned that
there was good tishing in the lake
and that perhaps we might have the
pleasure of seeing him there before
the season was over. He had said
that he got tired at times of automo-
biling and pined for a change.
'Tapa came in at lunch and said
he'd just found that the Corbyns were
staying up at the hotel Mr. Corbyn is
one of his oldest friends , you know
and that we would drive over to the
bay that afternoon and dine with them
at the hotel and perhaps stay for the
porch hop.
"I had never met this Mr. Corbyn
before. He was a perfectly lovely old
man and his wife was a darling. I
made violent love to both of them , and
in the course of my remarks I con
fessed to a passion for automobiling.
Papa had said that the old gentleman
was a fiend on the subject but I did
not know that he had his machine
along with him.
" 'We've just about time for a little
forty-mile spin before dinner , my
dear , ' he said 'two hours clear. If
you like , we'll go. '
r "lie bustled off and in about five
minutes he came back , carrying a coat
and a mask for me. I nut on the
mask right away for the fun of it.

me to town once , and all I could get
out of him was , 'Yes , nia'ain , ' and 'No ,
ma'am. ' I told him how well he drove
and asked him if he could drive with
one hand. 'No , ma'am , ' he said , 'not
this horse. ' And I can't feel sure even
now that I wasn't snubbed.
"Oh , of course , you wouldn't have
said such a thing. You would have
done anything to break the monotony
of that awful place. What papa sees
In it I can't think. Nothing but trees
and fields and roads and hedges and
the little pond of a lake where nobody
ever comes. If we had been able to
get a buggy and drive around a little
I might have stood it , but all the
horses were busy on the farm and
papa said he wanted me to ramble
around on my own feet for a change.
"It was the same way about the ho
tel at the bay. . I wanted to go there.
There were some nice people at the
hotel and some fun. But no. Papa
Baid I had enough foolishness of that
sort in town.

word if I tell you ? Well , there will
be only you six who know it , so if
It then gets out I shall know whom to
blame for it. I did have one little
excitement. No , it wasn't a flirtation.
I didn't flirt a little bit. I never do.
Only I was hoping something would
happen so much and wondering if
something wouldn't happen when I
saw him come exploding along. Of
course not. What would he hare to
laugh about ? He was in an automo
bile. Well , I was reaching up for a
branch of elderberry at the roadside.
It's a beautiful pose if one has decent
arms.
"He stopped almost directly and got
out and began fussing , at the thing
with a wrench. I was busy with the
elderberry. As soon as he got up he
looked straight at me. I didn't take
any notice , of course. I thought it
was rather rude of him. Well , ho
wasn't so bad looking.
" 'I beg pardon , ' he said.
"Goodness , how my heart fluttered !
I had been out on that miserable road
a dozen times hoping , hoping and
hoping. And now here was my chance.
I looked at him pleasantly and inquir
ingly.
" 'Could I get you to help me a mo

I want to tighten and it twists the
bolt. If you could hold the other side
I could use both hands , you see. '

WINDMILL ELECTRIC POWER.
"Well-Known Device lay Become of
Great Utility.
Like the trolley lines which run far
out into rural districts and bring many
small hamlets into close communica
tion with great cities ; like the rural
free delivery of mail , with its new
facilities for the enjoyment of post-
office service for getting the news of
the worid , and for traffic of the kind
which used to be very inconvenient for
farmers , the windmill promises much
more than it has already given the
agricultural districts of the United
States , says the Cleveland ! Leader. In
this country and in Europe recent ex
periments in the use of wind power
for generating electricity for lighting
houses and barns and operating farm
machinery are full of interest and sug
gest great advances in the same direc
tion within the next few years. In
parts of the West where Irrigation is
often needed to supplement the uncer
tain and sometimes Inadequate rain
fall , big windmills are used for pump
ing water from wells hi to Irrigating
ditches in the driest months , and the
same mills generate power enough for
electric motors to light buildings and
to cut feed and do other work of like
nature.
To get more power is only a ques
tion of more windmills. To insure an
adequate supply of electricity for light
ing purposes and for operating farm
machinery is a matter of storage bat
teries. So far these experiments are
not for poor mou to undertake , but the
rich are making tests which promise
ultimately to make the application of
wind-generated electric power to the
wants of American rural life one of
the most important additions to the
pleasures and comforts of the farm.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAH : Gradual loss of strength and nerve force
told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting
pains throught the pelvic organs , cramps and extreme irritation com
pelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian
trouble and ulceration , and advised an operation. I strongly objected to
this and decided to try Lydia E. Pinklutni'fi Vegetable Compound.
I soon found that my judgment was correct , and that all the good
things said about this medicine were true , and day by day I felt less
pain and increased appetite. The ulc vofn soon healed , and the other
complications disappeared and in elev < jeks I was once more strong
and vigorous and perfectly well.

"DEAR MRS. PINKITAM : It seems to me that
all the endorsements that I have read of the value
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound do not express
one-half of the virtue the great medicine really
possesses. I know that it saved my life and I
want to give the credit where it belongs. I suf
fered with ovarian trouble for five years , had three
operations and spent hundreds of dollars on. doc
tors and medicines but this did not cure me
after all.
" However , what doctors and medicines failed
to do , Lydia Pinklmm's Vegetable Corn-

fruitless operations cost me. If the women who are suffering , , and
the doctors do not help them , will try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
