Red Hawk
By IZOLA L. FORRESTER
(Opjoifht, by 3. 8. McClure Co.)
Red Hawk wit what ther eelll him la
the tepee Tillage over the north alopa of
th Big Horn. At Reasons ha was Juat
'Fete's Kid," and had brea ever alDca the
pay ba bad beca found on tha front atoop
f tha store, with Bone beside him. A cub
Bhosbone, aa Pete said, thin. ugly, dlrtr.
and a yellow cur pup, ugly, aklnny and
half-starved. Both aad-yad and Indiffer
ent, both uaed to klcka and cursee, but all
tba world to each other.
FeU adopted both In the eye of tha
fort, at leaat they had full permlaalon to
Bleep under bla front atoop and take what
ever eorapi of food French Louie, the cook,
rhoe to toea to them from the kitchen
door. It waa not a pleasant courae of
elYllUlng for either, but they accepted It
aa cm of fate'a little waya and grew and
thrived and were recognlied aa permanent
fixture at the fort.
When Jack Ellla came orer the range
tea year later and told atorlea on Pete's
front atoop one aummer night, the Hawk
and Bonea atood over near the door, among
Ue ihadova, and tha following morning
jrha Ellla took the road again he had two
tinaougbt comrades.
He bad come up from below the lakea,
tie told the men at lUwaona, from aome
where down In Indiana. BualneaeT Noth
ing special. Juat drifting. Wouldn't mind
trlklng aomethlng good If It came hla way.
People? None of hla own exactly. Ther
had been a girl.
Rawaona held It peace and smoked In
alienee over tha hesitation. There had
keen eo many girls.
"Ootng over the line?" Pet aaked
finally.
"Maybe. Oolng to hunt something or
ther."
The following morning when they had
passed the fort and were out on the clear
atretch of prairie, Ellla looked his com
panions oyer quietly, speculatively, stand
ing knee-deep In tall, yellow prairie grass
that bowed lazily In wavea and rlpp
a tha breeie brushed by. The Hawk atood
motionless, taking the aurvey a a mat
ter of courae. Bonea eat down and anapped
Idly at a bee on a- yellow daisy.
- "Bhoshone or Rapahoe?" asked Ellis.
Don't know. . Little French, little Can
buck. Mother all full-blooded 8hoshone."
"Where did you come from before
Pete's?"
"Kicked out tepee village. Bonea and ,
me. I
"Why?" i
"Bonea ateal rabbit. Jim Bad Eye throw
Bonea In Are." i
The boy paused with cloatd ltpa and
yea that looked far away over the Big ;
Horn.
"Jim planted over yonder aomewhere. I
threw knife at htm."
Ellla drew a long, deep breath.
"Come on. kid," be aald ahortly. "Tou're
all right."
Bo the three paaaed on, drifted, aa the
leader aald, up over the Canadian Hoe,
through the wilderness northward, taking
their time, bunting only enough to aupply
food.
"It don't pay to ahoot thlnga Juat to aee
them die." Ellla said. "I don't like the
look of dsad eyea when I've done the kill
ing.' There waa little converaatlon between
the two. They would alt together at night
hour after hour beside a campfire, Ellla
lying on a heap of pin boughs, smoking
moodily; the Hawk, a lean, gaunt, half
clad young animal, sitting In the glow of
the flames, with Bonea stretched peace
fully at bla feet, anorlng reatfully until a
park from a roslwd knot would make him
tart and growl aleeplly. At midnight Ellis
would look at his watch. It waa not a
handsome one. Merely an old allver-plated
open face, but in the back caae ther waa
picture of a girl laughing. One night the
two had been alttlng tbua for houra. All
at once Ellla handed tha watch to the boy.
"Thafe her," he aald. The Hawk looked
t It long and dispassionately.
"Got yellow hair?" be aaked, aa he
handed It back.
"You bet ah haa. kid." replied Ellla
arder bla breath. "Soft, warm, yellow. Ilk
twalrle grass In August."
"I saw a woman abot In Rawsons," aald
the boy after a pauee, aa he pushed Bones'
beaf away from th fire with hla foot
Yellow balr."
Ellla waa allent. H never abowed tha
picture again, but be always felt that the
Hawk knew hla weak point and respected
him accordingly.
When they reached Forty Mil creek
It wa on outpost of th world, aa edd
eorner of earth wher th laat of the
Id miner made a final stand against the
onrush of civilisation. It waa a pleasant
eorner and they rested there. Then on
day someone happened to find the root of
all evil lying around loos In th ever
lasting hills, and In a month all tba world
below aa shouting Klondike.
Ellis built hla shaok near th flrat trench
that waa aunk.
"We'll get In on the ground floor, kid.'
he said, grimly. "Lowrl sold out for fit
tea thousand yesterday what can't ba
bought for a half a mllltpn next week. And
there's a girl down la Indiana."
While be worked and fought and planned
down In tba trsnchua that were alasbed Ilk

th Hawk and Bone remained In th shack
cooking and caring tor everything and wor
shipping aa master th tall, deep-cheated
boy from Indiana,
"It's up to a quarter, kid." be would aay
as night. "When It' a million straight we'll
go out." v
Two men came up tt . river from St.
Michaels on day. One bad been alck all
tba way. They burled htm decently and dl
Tided bla pack. In two week Dawaoa had
amallpox and the other atranger took a
tumble la front of Ellla' aback. He waa a
clean, well-bred looking fellow and Ellla
liked blm. The Hawk and he gav battle to

"I think eo," aald the other slowly.
"Come up on business?"
"Te, a little private business."
"All rlgbt. Needn't tell If you don't feel
the spirit moving you. Only I like you and
you might as well stay rlgbt here, where
Ood or too devil dropped you for me to take
car of. Any good reason why not?"
Th stranger amlled. He had a smooth
face, white and clear skinned aa a girl, but
his eyelids had a trick of narrowing ever so
slightly as he looked at one. and when he
amlled his lips drew tlgbt serosa hi even
whit teeth.
"Laugh Ilk hound dog." th Hawk told
Bone, and he did not aeek the atranger'
favor.
But Ellla liked him. He wa a clever,
brainy young fellow, brimful of the latest
lore of the world below, not particularly
ambitious to all appearancea, yet he entered
heart and soul Into Ellis' plans and Ideaa.
The shack became bis permanent home, and
while the atranger shared the firelight with
Ellla, tbe Hawk and Bonea aat outside, look
ing up at tbe stare and pondering over
many things.
"You have a queer chap In that Shos
hone," Hardy, as be called himself, re
marked casually one day. "Where did you
pick him up?"
"Over the atates line, one day. W had a
mutual grievance against tbe world,"
laughed Ellla grimly.
They were coming up the narrow path
that ran like a thread through the woods,
up the mountain aid to the shack. Hardy
glanced sideways at his companion.
"You've aeen trouble, Jack, aomewhere,"
he said. "It's the way with nearly all who
come up here."
"You, too?" Ellis shot the question at
blm point blank.
"Nothing special." replied Hardy. "Fight
over a girl."
Ellis drew a long, deep breath and stepped
nearer to bla companion.
"Thafe me, too. Over a girl with yellow
hair."
"Murder?" the other man's tone was light
and disinterested, but Ellis caught himself
up with a laugh.
"Not as bad ss that. We fought fair,
only I happened to be tbe stronger. He
knew It, and so did I. only I bad a little
difficulty In making the world believe It
afterward."
Hardy looked out over tbe hills to where
the Yukon turned Into tbe embrace of ths
distant mountains, and he waa silent. That
night be wrote a, letter and aent It out by
Cy Danvera, who was going down to Seattle.
The Hawk saw him give It to Dsnvers. but
he did not tell Jsck. After that, when th
two went to Ellis' claim In the morning
Bonea and the Indian followed leisurely and
watched. 80 passed a year and still noth
ing bad happoned. The friendship between
tbe two men had become a byword In Daw
son, and Ellla bad prospered. One night up
at the shack, when the leavea were stained
again with the frost king's colors, Ellla
rose suddenly from his oeat bealde tbe
table where Hardy aat figuring. '
"It's enough," be said under hla breath,
walking with quick, nervous steps to and
fro, while the email dark eye of the Hawk
watched him from the corner. "Hardy, I'm
going down."
Hardy smiled up st him through tbe torn,
ragged amoke wreathe from his pip.
"Why not?" he asked lightly.
Ellis frowned. He had forgotten all save
the man before blm.
You know what I told you on day last
year," he began, "about that girl and the
man I fought fair? Well, they don't ex
actly take my view of the matter down
ther. They're waiting for me, do you see?
It a free up here." ' "
But you want to see what she thinks
about it?" said tbe other musingly.
"That's It." cried Ellla earnestly. "That's
Juat tbe point. She knows I hadn't any bad
feeling toward blm only so far aa she was
concerned, and she hadn't promised either.
We Just made up our minds to fight It out
snd let the best man have her. And we
didn't try any dirty work, either, knives or
guns; Just took the weapons Ood gave us
and went to work one night after a dance.
W were coming home through the woods."
He . pauaed and reeted one booted foot on
tbe chair he had vacated, as be leaned for
ward toward Hardy. "There's a big Jagged
bluff tbla aide of town, and there Isn't
anything but rocks and river below. It waa
clear of treea on top, though, and Bob
aald to and it there. I didn't know It,
Hardy. I awear I didn't know he waa dead
until I felt him go all limp from my arms.
Something bad anapped. I didn't know what
until I tried to wake him up."
"Well?" aaked Hardy lntereatedly.
"That's all. The neck was broken."
"What made you throw him over the
bluff, then?"
Ellis shuddered.
"Did I say I threw him over?"
Hardy's slim whit fingers closed sud
denly and he bit hla under Up.
Ye, you told me before," be re
turned.
I didn't remember. Bom devil put It
In my bead that maybe they'd find him
down ther on th rocks and think that
waa hew It happened. So I dropped him
over easy." He looked over Hardy's head
to where th firelight played a witch gam
of tag with th shsdows. "Th eye
wouldn't shut," he added under bla breath.
"They looked at me aa he went over."
"And of course aomeon bad aeen you
fight and told," concluded Hardy lightly.
"Jack, old man, you're a tool. Such a
thing lan't a crime. It' an episode In a
man's Ufa. Forget th eyea and don't get
sentimental. You're a millionaire. Oo
down to Indiana and get th girl. I'll go.
too."
In a week the aback wa empty. Two
men and an Indian and a yellow dog took
tba aouth trail.
"If too long by th river," Ellla had aald
"We ll go to Juneau and tak th suamar
down to Seattle."
Hardy had kicked against the company of
tha Hawk and Bones, but It waa uaeleas.
Ellis had ordered them back, but the next
day found them keeping steadily to th trail.
and Bllla laughed and aald he wouldn't go
baqk on old chum. The way was long and
tedious, and a they aeared Juneau hla
nerve began to leav him. In vry possible
way Hardy urged him on. It wa nearly
flv yeara. he argued. He had changed
wonderfully. If necessary he could take
another uama until he found bow th land
lay. And there waa the girl, perhap wait
lug tor him. But Ellla wavered.
"It was equal, but w each meant to kill
If w could." h said again and again.
"That'a murder. That' what they'll call it
If they get me."
Tbe climax cam twenty mile from Ju
neau. It waa dawn and they were breaking
up camp. Th splendor of th unrls glor
ified th whole waking world, and ther waa
th sharpneea of the frost In ths air, and
th touch et Its silver on every blade and
twig. Ellis stood looking at ths eastern
aky, when suddenly he turned to th other.
"I can't go any farther. Hardy," h aald,
determinedly. "I'm going back. Tou go on.
The Hawk and I will go together." -
Hardy had been on his koe strapping
ap th blankets. HI llpa closed In a
straight line aa he drew hi knife and v
red th rope from th kaoL Tbea a ross
and faced Ellis, strong, young and alnawy
and ther was a aew look la his eye.
"You'll not g to SeattU?" be repeated
quietly.
"N." , '
EUU two hla h4 trm thaamai
and looked Into the barrel of a revolver.
"You shall go," aald Hardy, between hrs
teeth, "tor I Intend to tak you. W hap
pen to be on good American soil one more.
John Ellis. I arrest you for th murder of
Robert Kerwln. and If you move your hand
I'll tut a bullet through your head."
Ellla never moved a muscle, but kept his
eyes on the man before him. and a great,
terrible weight seemed to press upon hit
breast aa he realised what th meaning of
It all had been. A whole year of close,
faithful comradeehlp. partner and friends.
He thought of how he had taken th
stranger Into the little old shack on th
mountain aide and nursed htm through the
battle.
"Did you mean to do It all the time,
Hardy? be asked huskily.
"That was the little private business I
came up on," returned the detective curtly.
"The other fellow died, you know. That
waa why two were sent. I took his place.
Sit down there, on that log. I can cover
you easier. In about an hour tbe party we
paaaed laat night will corns up and help
me. I half expected this ever since we
crossed tbe boundary and kept In their
way."
Ellis seated himself on the fallen tree.
and again hla eye aought tbe sunrise.
'You have done your work well," he
said after a time. "I suppose It's right,
but. Lord Harry, It's hard. Why. Hardy."
hla voice softened. "I'd rather awung for
It than had you the man. You don't know
how I liked you."
"That girl married another man," Inter
posed Hardy, keeping the revolver In posi
tion and reaching for hla pipe with hla left
hand. "I meant to tell yon before, but It
soemed to be the only thlag that would
bring you out."
Ellla glanced suddenly at tbe tree trunk
against which he had leaned his rifle. It
waa gone. There waa a tightening of his
sinewy frame, a second's hesitation, then
he sprang forward Ilk a panther for tbe
throat of the detective. Half way a bullet
struck him and he fell forward, his face
burled In the damp, leaf mold. Before
Hardy could move, before the smoke hsd
curled away from his revolver, a second
shot crashed through the bushes behind
him and the head ot the Hawk rose abov
them, wtth Ellla' rifle leveled. The second
body ley boot to boot with the first, when
th Indian stole out into the open space
and Bones gav a long, quivering howl a
he lay down at his master's side and licked
tearfully at one upturned hand. The Hawk
atepped lightly past the detective and
raised Ellla' head. There waa a flask of
whiskey In the latter' pocket and he un
corked It and forced some between the
close-shut teeth, then felt for th heart.
It was beating softly.
The minute passed. Silent and expres
sionless ss a graven Image the Hawk sat
between the two bodlea, his knees drawn
up tent-wise, his rifle resting on them as
be watched the trail ahead. One or twice
be bent over Ellis and gave him more of
the whisky, until at length he opened hla
eyea and looked up at the patch ot blue
sky shining through tbe tangled branches
overhead. Bonea whined, and crept closer
to him, and the Indian nodded hla bead
toward what lay on tbe other aid of htm.
'Dead?" whispered Ellla. moistening his
Hps with an effort.
Tbe Hawk bowed grimly. There waa a
long alienee and the full glory of day had
apread over the mountains. The autumn
sunlight lay warm and pleasant where th
frost had been an hour before, and some
where off In the hills a bird was singing
madly.
Ellis turned his head and looked at th
hard, ugly face ot the boy.
Hawk," he whispered finally. "Take my
band, will you?Tou'r whit, all rlgbt. It
he hadn't said ah was married"
The Hawk looked down In hla face a
minute after and laid the eorner of a
blanket over It. When the party Hardy had
watted for cam down he trail It was sun
set again and they were laughing and sing
ing, for the long tramp waa nearly over,
and each had a pile and the thought ot
tbe one at home to cheer. At the turn ot
th path they stopped and th music died
away at sight of the picture there. Two
stark, silent forma lay side by side and an
Indian and a yellow dog kept watch beside
tbelr dead. IZOLA L. FORRESTER.,

in Sixth Ward.
SAYS DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DISRUPTED

Declare the Speaker ('lab
Ratiaee State Ticket.
At tbe meeting of the Sixth Ward Repub
lican club last night E. G. McGllton. can
didal for lieutenant governor, opened his
campaign. Tbe meeting was In the nature
of a ratification of the action of the state
convention and short talks were made by
several members. Emmett O. Solomon pre
sided. Mr. McOilton was received with
cheers. He said In part:
Ther ls ample ammunition to be gath
ered from which to make a vigorous
speech, but I have been too busy to ar
range It. I desire to congratulate the peo
ple or Douglas county upon the fart that
the republican nominated an excellent
man for governor. Mr. Mickey la a man
who will command the confidence of the
people and when elected will lve the atat
a -oci, clean arlmlmst ration. The re
mainder of the ticket should commend
Itself to the voter. This Is a republican
year. The opposition Is not united they
cannot aijree upon a candidate for gov
ernor who would unite them not even
Mr. Bryan himself. The trouble with him
Is that he Is too well advertised. The peo
ple know what hie doctrines are and that
those doctrines have been renounced by
the people on many occasions. Th demo
crats party in the state Is thoroughly dis
rupted, mr. tiryan nimwir cannot unite
the populists, the democrats and the so
culled free silver republicans to aay noth
ing of the gold democrats who would not
vote for him under any circumstances.
(rover Cleveland Hopeless.
Tbe speaker, referrlne to the banquet of
the Tllden club In New York, quoted the
words of Mr. Cleveland regarding tbe con
dition of the democratic party, and added:
Grover Cleveland does not think there
Is any hope of the democratic party et
tlnn together. With that condition con
fronting us, I do not believe It In possible
for us to bo defeated If we get together
In a strong campaign.
Aa your candidal for lieutenant governor
I pledge you my earnest work from this
lime until arter tne votes are counted In
November. The republican party Is one
which redeems every pledgo. While it
looks forward with hope It points bark
ward with pride. In all Its life It can
point to work done and pledges redeemed.
We need to go no further back than
We said that should MrKlnley be elected
there would be prosperous times. They
came and have continued. We promised
Cuba freedom and tt has It. We said that
we would give to the Philippines enlight
enment and honest government and In
spite or opposition at home and Insur
gents In the Islands we are doing It
Mr. McGilton was followed by N. C. Pratt,
who said that he thought the people should
feel pleased with tbe action of the state
convention. "The speaker who preceded
me," said he, "has said nothing of himself.
I have known him for mny years and as
my acquaintance grew my admiration for
bl noble qualities increased."
Resolutions for State Ticket.
A. O. Charlton, E. F. Morearty, M. O.
Cunningham and I. G. Barlght also spoke.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the Sixth Ward Repub
lican club congratulates the party upon the
magnificent ticket nominated by the re
publican state convention this week at Lin
coln; that It especially approves the nomi
nation of Mr. E. O. McGllton of Omaha,
a man whose nomination will add much
strength to the ticket In Douglas county,
where he Is best known; that the plat
form adopted by that convention expresses
fully the opinion of the members of this
club on state and national Issues, and, be
It further
Resolved. That wo pledge the Individual
members of this club to continuous work
for the election of the ticket until after
all votes are cast In November.

CROP AND CATTLE SITUATION
Cattle Raiser from Hyasali Report
Fine Conditions In HI
Locality.
J. C. Bostwlck of Hyannls. Neb., cams
Into Omaha over the Union Pacific Friday
morning. He brings Interesting news of
the crop and cattle situations In western
Nebraska. The wheat yield In that as
well as other sections of the state, he
says. Is excellent and with favorable con
ditions from now on an enormous harvest
will be reaped.
i The order for the removal of fences on the
ranges Is, In the estimation of Mr. Bost
wlck, a boon to the small cattle raiser
and will work to the great advantage of
the meat consumer. He declares that this
will force th large cattle ranger out and
give the small ones greater opportunities.
The reason for this Is. be argues, that
the small cattle raisers can easily herd
their stock, while the extensive herds can
not thus be handled. As a consequence
he says that already the stock market Is
enlarging, sales are multiplying, and that
within a short time vast numbers of cattle
will be sent to buyers.
Grass for grazing never waa better In the
end ot the state from which Mr. Bostwlck
comes and he predicts excellent times for
the men who are In the cattle business on
a small scale. He is an old stockman
himself and Is familiar with the subject in
all its details.
Another very Important benefit that will
be derived from the passage of this bill Is
pointed to by this gentleman la that facil
ity for colonizing the western part ot the
state. He holds that the aame conditions
which will militate to tbe disadvantage of
tbe extensive cattlemen and promote the
Interests of the smaller ones will offer
golden opportunities and Inducements for
settlers. He consequently looks for a sub
stantial tide of Immigration In that section.

aid Victor Rosewater, "I have had my
attention called to the assertion made by
John R. Webster of the Omaha Bridge
Terminal company, to the effect that The
Bee's protest against his company's evasion
of their taxes Is rrompted by my failure
to secure from him a contribution to the
campaign fund to promote my father's can
didacy for the United States acnate.
"Mr. Webster has a Jog In his memory
as well ss his versclty. I never solicited
from him, or from any ore else, any con
tributions to help defray the expenses
either of my father's candidacy for United
States senator, or of tbe candidates on the
legislative delegation, pledged to-his sup
port. In 1900 I was not on any finance
committee for tbe campaign and had noth
ing to do wtth the finances.
"The only time I ever approached Mr.
Webster for a campaign contribution was
In 1899, when in company with E. J. Cor
nish, who wss at that time chairman of
the executive committee cf the republican
county committee, I canvassed among re
publican business men for assistance for
the county ticket, which Included among
the candidates Judge Vlnsonbaler, County
Clerk Haverly, County Purveyor McBrlde,
Councilman Burmester, who was running
for sheriff; Mr. Barlght, running for clerk
of the court; Mr. Bryant running for county
treasurer. Mr. Cornish and I called on
Mr. Webster In his office and told him
our mission. He replied that his com
pany was not In politics and could not
contribute to any political campaign. I
suggested that as he was a republcan he
might make a personal contribution and
he declined. I have not spoken to Mr. Web
ster since on that subject or sny other. If
he were disposed to be truthful he would
correct his statement and aoologlze."
MAYOR GETS OLD CITY MAR
Waa Made When Lota In Preeent
Business Center Were
Given Away.
Judge J. II. Blair presented Mayor
Moores with a curiosity Friday morning In
the form of the first map ever made of
Om&ha. It Is dated September 1. 1S54. It
was resurrected Thursday from an old chest
In the garret of a house on Cass street,
near Judge Blair's home. An Interesting
feature of the map is a notation In one
corner, which reads as follows:
Lots will be given to persons who will
Improve them. A newspaper, the Omaha
Arrow. Is published weekly at this place.
A brick building suitable for the terri
torial legislature Is In process of construc
tion and a steam mill and brick hotel will
be completed In a few weeks.
In another corner appeared the names of
the three men who at that time owned
Omaha, Knos Lowe, James R. Jackson and
Samuel S. Baylies.
The founders evidently Intended that a
park should bo at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets, for the block on which stands the
Psxton building Is marked "Washington
Square." The corner on which the Board
of Trade now stands would have leeu pre
sented to any one at that time who would
build a shanty on It.
The map takes in all west of the Mis
souri river to Twenty-third ttrcet, and the
platted section extends as far north as
Swan (Caldwell ntret) end as far south as
Scott (Poppleton avenue), The streets south
of Swan street are named as follows: Eagle,
Otter, Elk, Buffalo, Badger, Antelope Web
ster, etc. Since then It has been thought
expedient to eliminate natural history from
tho street nomenclature, and the fore
going, thoroughfares, are now, named: Cald
well, Indiana, Nlc tolas, Michigan, Cuming
and Burt.
Mayor Moores will have this dogeared old
relic framed and hung up In his office.
Too Great Vtlst.
In almost every neighborhood someone
has died from an attack ot colic or cholera
morbus, often before medicine could tie
procured or a physician summoned. A re
liable remedy for these diseases should be
kept at hand. Tb risk Is too great for
anyon to take. Chamberlain's Collo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has un
doubtedly saved the lives of more people
and relieved more pain and suffering than
any other medicine In use. It can always
be depended upon.

retary of tho Social Economic Wo
man's Club of Memphis, Tenn.
How many beautiful younir jr'rls develop Into Tvorn, UstleM and hopeless
women simply because sudicicnt attention has not been paid to their physical
development. No woman is exempt from physical weakness and perlodl
pain, and young girls lust budding into womanhood should be carefully
guided physically as well as morally.
If you know of any youn? Intly ttiio Is glok and needs motherly
advice ask her to write to Mrs. lMnkhani at Lynn, Maos who will
plve her advice free from a aource of knowledge which is un
equalled in the country. Do not hesitate about statin; details
which one may not like to talk about, and which are essential
for a full understanding of the case.

MISS GEORGIE BRYAN,
I can heartily recommend
Compound to all young girls, for I
results.
t " Last sprinp; I was very much run down and was advised to try it,
which I did and I was most pleased with its results. The monthly
aches and pains so common to women, especially distressing in my case,
were all cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I
now always keep it on hand to help me over sick days."
How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Fannie Kumpe.
First Letter.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I WTite for advice In regard to my case.
Menstruation has leen coming twice in each month and I have such
pains in my back and limbs and womb, and such hot flushes that it
eeems as though I would burn up. I have had doctors treat me but
they have done me no good. Can you help me ? " Miss Fannib Kjkfc,
1922 Chester St., Little Rock, Ark. (Sept. 10, 1900.)
Second Letter.
"Dear Mrs. Piniham: I feel it Is my duty to write and tell you
of the benefit I have derived from your advice and the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The pains in my back and womb
have all left me and my menstrual trouble i9 corrected. I am very
thankful for the good advice you gave me, and I shall recommend your
medicine to all who suffer from female weakness." Miss Fanndb
Kumpe, 1922 Chester St, Little Rock, Ark. (Dec 16, 1000.)
. . O, my sisters, I do pray you to profit by the experiences of these
women; Just as surely as they were cured of troubles, just so
surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every
woman in the land who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation
of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability, nervous pros
tration, and all forms of woman's special ills.
