A GREAT MEDICINE BRINGS HEALTH 10 THREE MEM- BERS OF SAME FAMILY. Cures a Wife’s Debility After Malaria, a Husband's Rheumatism, a Daughter's Nervous Prostration, “‘T have recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to many people,”’ said Mrs. Gossett, ‘‘ because I have seen such good results, time after time, right in my own family. There are three of us who have no doubt about their merits. We do not need to take anybody’s word on the sub- ject for our own experience has taught us how well they deserve praise. “Tt was just about ten years ago that I first read about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and bought my first box. Iwasat that time all run down, weak, nervous and without ambition. I had been doc- toring all summer for malaria and stomach trouble. Everybody théught I was going into consumption, as my mother had died of that disease. «Thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I am now alive and hearty. I began to improve as soon asI began totake them, and when I had taken three boxes Iwasa well woman. Everyone wonders how I keep so well and am able to care for ny home and six children without help. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills explain it. ** My oldest girl’s health began to fail when she was about fourteen. She was nervous, complained of sharp pains in her head, would get deathly sick and have to leave the school room to get fresh air to revive her. I gave some pills to her. She took only a few boxes, but they cured her troubles, and caused her to, develop | into a perfect picture of health. Then my | husband took them for rheumatism and found that they would cure that too. So you see we have all got great good from using them, and that is why ‘we recom- mend them to others.”” { Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and is well known, as she has resided in the game neighborhood for more than thir- teen years.

In the six years of the country’s greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903, average prices of breadstuffs advanced 65 per cent., meats 23.1 per cent, dairy and garden products 50.1 per cent, and clothing 24.1. All these were prod- ucts of the farmer and stockman who profited more than any other class of the community by these advances. The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by that advance in the average price of metals. The only decrease in the average prices of commodities in that period was in railway freight rates which decreased from .798 per ton- mile in 1897 to .763 in 1903, a loss of 4.4 per cent. The report of the In- terstate Commerce Commission shows that the average increase in the pay of railroad employes in the period was a trifle above 8.5 per cent.

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sieep—Spent $100 om ®octors—Baby Grew Worse—Cured by Cuticura for $5. “A seab formed on my baby’s face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. ‘Then her skin started to dry up and it be- came so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month’s treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her.

Honore Palmer was talking in New York the other day about Paris. Said i he: “I was strolling, on a sunny morn- ing, along the avenue, stopping now and then to look in the interesting shop windows, when I heard a great roar and clattering behind me, and turned to see a runaway horse tear out of the Place de l’Opera and comé at breakneck speed down the crowd ed street toward me. “Suddenly a policeman appeared. He stood in the path of the approach- ing horse. At the proper moment, he leaped up, caught the bridle firmly and, after being dragged a rod or two, brought the runaway to a stop. “A crowd gathered about the heroic fellow. His hand was shaken. Con- gratulations: were showered on him. “Then down the avenue, with dis- ordered dress, a young man came run- ning. “The owner! The owner!” the peo- ple shouted. i “And the young man, panting, thank- | ed the policeman warmly, and, after getting in the carriage, took thé of- ficer’s name and number, so as to send him a suitable reward. Then he drove away. “He had only been gone about five minutes when a second young man appeared. His attire was more dis- ordered than the other’s, and there was a cut over his eye. “Where is my horse?’ he said. ‘They told me a policeman stopped my horse somewhere in this neighbor- hood. |Was it you, officer?’ “Shamefacedly the policeman ad-} mitted that it was, and admitted also that he, an officer of the law, had been tricked like a provincial by one of those ingenious, daring and alert swindlers who infest Paris.”—New York Tribune. AGED INDIAN WOMAN DIES. Picturesque Squaw Whose Father Hunted with Lewis and Clark. “Old Lady Michel,” as she was fa- miliarly Known, was for a score of years one of the curiosities of seaside to summer visitors, says the Portland Oregonian. Her death last Saturday came suddenly, for she had been as busy as ever making Indian baskets, in which she did a rushing business during the summer months. She’ has claimed 100 years as her age for some time, but so far as can be learned she was 86 when death came. It is doubtful if any person, man or woman, in the state of Oregon, has been photographed so frequently as has Jennie Michel. Every visitor with camera wanted a picture of the withered, wrinkled old crone whose father hunted with Lewis and Clark. Many a basket did she sell at a fancy price, which was gladly paid for the photograph privilege also. When summer visitors were far more un- common and other Indians much more common than now the old woman, in company with other squaws, was among the first to dig clams for the} Portland market. At that time a/ number of Indian families occupied a group of shanties near, the banks of the Obanna, a mile from Seaside. One by one the other natives died off, but “Old Lady Michel” held on. Lady Michel. Her first husband was a chief of the Nehalem tribe and her second husband a French-Canadian named Michel Martineau. She took the American name of Jennie and was known by her husband’s’ first name, Michel. Hawaiian Lady Protests. Gov. Carter of Hawaii received the following letter a few days ago. It was written and sent in all serious- ness: “The governor of the govern- ment of the territory, greeting—Will you be kind enough, the man in pow- er, not to give the crown lands to Lilikaulani now petitioning the United States congress? Will you ‘kindly hold the crown lands of Kame- ‘hameha in the name of Kaanaanamo- kaueahaikuikawaikamookahi Keamok- uhalepohai? I desire to see you. I am the Hawaiian woman that hoisted the American flag when the Hawaiian flag was lowered, and I was the one who made a speech at the time the judge sailed on the Alameda last year. I am yours, Kaanaanamokaue- ahaikuikawaikamookahi Keamokuhal- epohai.” This is the longest name that has yet appeared even among Hawaiians, among whom names of many syllables are not uncommon.

Before Longfellow bought the house in Cambridge so associated with his memory it was owned and occupied by old Mrs. Craigie. s Mrs. Craigie was a woman of many eccentricities, Moncrre D.
