Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. A Young New York Lady Tells of a Wonderful Cure :— “ My trouble was with the ovaries ; I am tall, and the doctor said I grew too fast for my strength. I suffered dreadfully from inflammation and doctored continually, but got no help. I suffered from terrible dragging sen- | sations with the most awful pains low down in the side and pains in the back, and the most agonizing headaches. No one knows what I endured. Often I was sick to the stomach, and every little while I would be too sick to go to work, for three or four days; I work in a large store, and I suppose stand- ing on my feet all day made me worse. “At the suggestion of a friend of my mother’s I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- und, and it is simply wonderful. felt better after the first two or three doses ; it seemed as though a weight was taken off my shoulders; I con- tinued its use until now I can truth- fully say I am entirely cured.

WHAT HE PAID TO WIN of His Campaign. take seriously the law which requires the expenses of their campaigns. At Winfield, J. E. Torrence, electe&coun- ty attorney, files an elaborate expense agcount, declaring that it is in re- sponse to “the intensely moral provi- sions of the fool legislature of Kan- sas.” Here are some of his items: “To cards announcing to the eager public that I was a candidate for re- election, $5. “To circulars printed to head off the nimble campaign lies turned loose by my enemies, $12.50. “To the ubiquitous solicitors for charitable purposes who called on me just before election, and while suf- fering from intense agony, and there- fore at a time when I was afraid to re- fuse, $22.50. “To the colored editor of a newspa- per at Topeka, which seemed to be exerting its entire influence to save me from the avalanche of democratic votes which apparently hung in the balance, $3. “To stationary used by me in ex- posing the infamous fake © circular gotten out by Rev. Smith and others, 2 cents. “I wish to further state that any inaccuracies or omissions which may be found in this statement (involving a total'of about $300) are due to the strenuous condition of things, and to the break-neck rate of speed at which I was compelled to run to be able to Jook back at my opponent as I came under the wire.”—Kansas City Jour- nal. TRUTH OF OLD LEGEND Writer in New York Sun Sheds New Light on Story. A woodsman, says the New York Sun, was one day chopping a tree overhanging a stream, and pausing in his work to flirt with a passing milk- maid, he dropped his axe into the river. The woodsman sat down comfort- ably and proceeded to bemoan his fate. Mercury, hearing his lamenta- tions, appeared before him, and upon being informed of the loss of the axe | he at once dived into the water and brought up a golden hatchet. “Is that yours?” asked Mercury. “No,” replied the man. Mercury thereupon plunged the water for a second time and brought up a silver hatchet. Again the man denied that the axe was his. For the third time Mercury disap- peared under the water, and at last brought up the. very axe that thg man had lost, which the woodsman eager- ly claimed as his. The god, being pleased with the man’s honesty, presented him with the gold and silver hatchets also. The man told his friends about this and the Mercurial Gold and Silver company was organized with a capital They bought up all the rivers and ponds in the coun- try and honest woodsmen were em- ployed in double shifts to drop iron axes into the water and get gold and into | silver ones for their honesty. The stock paid very well. That is the true derivation of the - term—watered stock. As for the milk- maid (the cause of it all), the woods- man very properly married the girl. LOG THAT DEFIED NIAGARA Hung for Days on the Brink of the American Fall. Of all the strange sights witnessed at Niagara Falls, none was ever more odd than that photographed by a resi- dent, says the New York Herald. Here a great long stick of timber, long enough to make a big mast, is seen caught, right on the very brink of the American fall. It is, indeed, remarkable that it should have caught there, but it is still more wonderful that it should have remained there for several days, or until high water came to force its fastening to give way. The big tim- ber came down from the vicinity of the lumber yards at Tonawanda. It plunged through the upper rapids and over the many reefs above the falls. It rolled along between the numerous islands, and seemed destined to make the leap into the gorge without a stop. But right on the very -edge of the waterfall, with its butt projecting far over and out from the falling water, and with its small end elevated in the air above the current, this log caught and held. It commanded much atten- tion, and it is supposed that when it tumbled into the gorge it carried a portion of the limestone ledge with ‘it. Nothing like it was ever before or since witnessed in connection with this greatest of all waterfalls, and, without doubt, thousands upon thou- sands of timbers might go the same way without tarrying on the edge of the fall, as this timber did. Women Bell-Ringers. St. Andrew’s church, at Bradfield, Berkshire, is the only church in this country where the bells are rung by women instead of men. The reason why women have been engaged for this task is very simple. About eight- een months ago there was a great dearth of men and boys in the district owing to the scarcity -of labor, and the vicar, being unable to obtain the requisite number of men to ring the bells, asked the ladies of the congre- gation to undertake the duty. The appeal was instantly and heartily re- sponded to, and six young women have rung the bells of this pretty little church regularly and punctually for nearly eighteen months. Its certain- ly heavy and trying, but the fair bell- ringers have become enthusiastic in the work and do it excellently.

He was a shopkeeper in a small way, but his business had not proved, in the long run, so profitable as his several matri- monial ventures, which had been three times celebrated. Soon after the last event of the kind had been solemnized, one of his intimates rallied him with: | “Well, Uncle Isrul, heard’s how you’d be’n an’ done it ag’in. How'd you make out this time? Pooty well, as usual, hey?” “Well, neighbor,” drawled Uncle Is- rul, in his soft and saintly way, “I did pooty well, ’s may say, pooty well.

Farmer Johnson of Refl Rock is the owner of a cat, which from kittenhood, almost, has shown a great fondness for the society of chickens. From the time Tom was half grown it has been no unusual sight to see him at night on the roost with the chickens. He follows them all day. He be- trays no attachment for any one fowl, but associates impartially with all. The chicks have become accustomed to him, and he is evidently regarded as a protector. Tom retains suffi- cient cat nature to remain curled up snug and warm. Tom freuently can be seen side by side with a setting hen on one nest, on he is content to remain for ours. Odd Marriage Certificate. At a wedding at Eastown Baptist church, recently, it was noticed when the certificate of marriage was made out that the name “Thomas” appeared on the document no fewer than nine times. Both the bride and groom were named Thomas, and, of coprse, their parents, also. The minister's narhe was Thomas, and the register also ‘ signed with the word Thomas, It was, neers a gathering of Thomases.—Tit- Medical Bubbles. Doctors have invented a new form of bubble. Neuralgia, sciatica and lum- , bago are known to be affections of the | ends of the nerves, which lie just un- | der the skin of the painful region. It has been discovered that by injecting air under the skin the ends of the nerves are lengthened and the pain re- lieved. The bubble of air is pressed by the fingers and caused to move about until the parts are relieved. In dislocations, fraétures and bruises the same treatment has given relief.—Lon- don Globe. Thought She Would Go Crazy. Hulls, Il., Jan. 26th.—“I couldn’t sit longer than five minutes in one place. I was always tired, but could not rest or sleep. I couldn’t help crying and feeling that something awful was jist about to happen. I thought I would go crazy.” In this way does Mrs. A. M. Fysh of this place tell of the ill- ness from which she has just recoy- ered. Mrs. Fysh’s case was remarkable. If she fell asleep she would wake up frightened, her mouth dry and her nerves all worked up. She was lone- some and melancholy even when sur- rounded by loving friends. Her bones ached. She had to make water four | or five times every night. She was constipated. She had a voracious ap- petite, yet was always hungry between meals. She coughed upa great deal of white phlegm. She heard of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and after using them says: “By the time I had taken five boxes I was a new woman. I can not tell how much good they did for me. Be- fore using Dodd’s Kidney Pills life was such a drag to me. Now I can do my work and feel glad that I have work to do. I am completelyrestored.” Men are more apt to complain of the ingratitude of friends than of the in- justice of enemies.

The cultured and the ignorant, the aris- tocrat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all are liable. Have you the grip?
