JkMcUub/ Sue&tioiv * Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ? ” If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community m this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never in allthat time have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and g enul £ e - Here is one just received a few days ago.

THE POOR WHIFFLETIT. And the Lew Down Trick by Which It Is Subdued. Seating himself at a restaurant table, a Chicago man said: “Waiter, what kind of fish have you?’’ “Oh." said the waiter, “all kindswhitefish, bluefish, graylings, sea bass, weakflsh, perch”— “Pshaw!” yawned the customer. “Cut that out I’m tired of those common fishes. Ain’t you got some new kind of fish—some kind 1 never ate before?” “Well," said the waiter, “the whiffletits is very fine this morning.” “What in thunder is a whiffletit?” “Why, doesn't a fish sharp like you know what a whiffletit is? Common enough here. You see, the whiffletit lives only in circular lakes. You go out and find a/circular lake and hire a boat Then you row out all alone to the middle of the lake, about a mile or so, and anchor. Then you take an augur and bore a hole in the water and bait it by putting a piece of cheese on the edge of the hole. The whiffletit comes up to get the cheese, eats it and it makes him swell up so that he can’t back down the hole.” “Well." said the customer, breathless, “what then?" “Why.” replied the waiter as he filled a glass of water, “you lean over the side of the boat and laugh the whiffletit to death. Want a few?”— Cleveland Leader.

A LUCKY ESCAPE. Thrilling Experience of a Cyclist on a Swiss Mountain. A Dr. Bach was cycling down the pass near Goschenen. in Switzerland, when bis brake snapped and the machine darted forward at terrific speed. At the foot of the mountain is a bridge spanning a deep river gorge. The physician tried to guide his flying machine on the bridge, but the front wheel struck a side wall, and he was flung over the parapet. While falling through the air he caught a chain hanging from a girder. The momentum of his body, suddenly arrested, nearly wrenched bis grip loose, but he was a strong man and kept his hold. While swinging in midair suspended over the raging river and unable to improve his perilous position an automobile came chugging down the pass. The hapless man shouted for help, but he could not be seen from the bridge, and his cries were drowned by the noise of the motor and the sound of the river. A few minutes after the automobile had passed a carriage drove across the bridge. Again he cried out for help, but in vain. The awful strain on arms and fingers was becoming intolerable, and the doctor was about to drop into the torrent to an inevitable death when two peasants came by and saw him. They flung a noose over him and pulled him up. He fainted and was ill for a long time.—Strand Magazine.

Couldn't Remember Hie Star. As Illustrative of the fits of abstrac tlon to which some men are subject in an extraordinary degree. Sir Henry Irving was fond of relating a story of his former manager, Charles Dillon. Some years “The Bells” had made Irving famous he chanced to meet Dillon and was outspoken In his delight. Dillon looked him over, finally remarking that he had no recollecUon of him. Irving reminded him of the tour they had made together and mentioned his name. Dillon thought for awhile, and. recognition appearing to dawn upon him, he extended his hand. “Irving? Oh. yes. I remember the name." he declared reminiscently. “And what are you doing now, Irving?”—Chicago Record-Herald. Portsr Always a Sailor. During Grant’s first term his sscrs tary of the navy, Borie, for a time turned the actual administration ovei to Admiral Porter. Admiral Portei was a sailor In the strict etymological sense of the term In that he believed there was nothing like sails. As soon as he was in authority he caused the four bladed propellers of the vessels to be removed and replaced by two bladed ones in order that the ships

might maneuver better under sail. The inefficiency thereby brought about is, of course, apparent to any engineer, as the size of the propel r opening was fixed and the two bladed screw could not be made large enough. A few yean later in a report to the department he actually claimed that the vessels wen faster under steam with the mutilated screws. The facts, of coune, were just the revene, and when his Influence became less proper propellers were again fitted. This was when he was still in his prime and his judgment was, at least, not Impaired by age. About twenty years later, when the Roach cruisers were being built, the dear old man, then over seventy, went befon the naval committee and said that the plans of these vessels were wrong because they had only auxiliary sail power. In his Judgment they should have been given full sail power with steam as an auxiliary. He was still a sailor! The world had not moved for him.—Engineering Magazine. An Incident of Travel. In Nuremberg, having occasion to ask my way, I said in my best Melsterschaft to a gentleman passing: “Koennen sie mir vlellelcht sagen wi« man nach das Deutscben museum geht?” Imagine my mortification when he replied: "I am going that way. I will show you.” We walked on. and, learning that I was an American and had traveled in England, he said: “I am professor of English here. That is why I speak English so welt But I didn’t been in England already once yet.”—Lippincott’s.

A Bank on Two Logo. “For more than thirty years the most popular woodsman’s bank in Maine was a bank on two legs,” says Major Holmes Day, author of "King Spruce.” “Until ho was over seventy years old Uncle Nate Swan was con- : ductor on the Bangor and Piscataquis , railroad, running between the city and Moosehead lake. With him rode the woods and driving crews. When they forgot themselves and made a racket on his train he used to cuff them into submission, and no man ever raised his hand against Uncle Nate. When the men came out of the woods with their pay most of them realized from bitter experience that the city folks would get all their money away from 1 them in a few days. As soon as they would get aboard the train they would 1 begin to strip ten dollar bills off their ! rolls and hand the money to Uncle

Nate to ‘sink’ for them, banking it on call. They never forgot, nor did he, and in all the years there was never a dispute between Conductor Swan and any of his depositors. When they came back on his train they were sure of enough money for their fare and their tobacco at the lake outfitting store. They wouldn't have known very well what to do with more." Her Ideal Villain. The following anecdote, taken from “My Story,” by Hall Caine, is interesting: Immediately after the production of “The Woman In White,” when all England was admiring the arch villainy of Fosco, the author, Wilkie Collins, received a visit from a lady who congratulated him upon his success with somewhat icy cheer and then said: "But, Mr. Collins, the great failure of your book is your villain. Excuse me if I say you really do not know a villain. Your Count Fosco is a very poor one, and when next you want a character of that description I trust that you will not disdain to come to me. I know a villain and have one in my eye at this moment that would far eclipse anything that I have ever read of in books. Don't think that I am drawing upon my imagination. The man is alive and constantly under my gaze. In fact, he is my own husband.” The lady was the wife of Edward Bulwer Lytton,

Fixed Bayonets In London. The privilege of marching through London with fixed bayonets Is enjoyed by but very few regiments, such as the Royal fusileers, who trace their origin to Cromwell’s trained bands, which in later years produced so famous a captain as John Gilpin. After the Royal fusileers, or perhaps even before them In point of regimental seniority, come the East Kent "Buffs,” now the third of the line, who claim a similar city ancestry .while the Royal marines for some reason or other also enjoy the same fixed bayonet rights In the city. A battalion of the grenadier guards was once Impressed to serve as marines, and hence they share the privilege of the men who are “soldiers and sailors too.” This also explains why that grenadier battalion has for Its tattoo “Rule Britannia”—as a souvenir of the time when Its combative existence was of the amphibious kind.—London Standard. The Mental Jog. “There is a certain type of person,” said the business man, “especially In New York, who seems unable to understand what is said to him—or her—unless the statement or remark is prefixed by some catchword, usually the word ‘listen.’ "For Instance, I have a stenographer who simply stares at me In dumb amazement If I say anything to her without first saying ‘Now, listen.’ If I begin to dictate a letter to her she will not write a word If I forget to give that mental jog. When I snap that at her she will scratch like mad. She is not the only one. The telephone girl cannot take a message unless it has that prefix. When I am out of the office and try to talk over the wire with her I must always begin, ‘Now, listen,’ or else she Is hopelessly at sea and seems not to understand a word I say.” — New York Press.

Different In Books. In the books this is the way they say It: “Outside the wind moaned unceasingly, its voice now that of a child which soba with Itself In the night, now that of a woman who suffers her great pain alone, as women have suffered since life began, as women must suffer til) life wears to its weary end. And mingled with the walling of wind rain fell —fell heavily, Intermittently, like tears wrung from souls of strong men.” Outside the books we say: “It’s raining.”—Atchlson'JGlobe. The Brakeman’e Joke. "Ran over a cow this morning uj above Coffeyville.” said the brakeman to a reporter. "How did It happen?” asked the reporter. “She was drinking out of a creek under a bridge,” shouted the brakeman as he swung on to the last car and went grinning out of town.—Kansai City Times. Brute! Jtmson—Where’s your wife? Haven’t Been her often lately. Weed—Oh, I sent her away on a little vacation. Jlmson -So? Where’d she go? Weed— To the Thousand Isles. Jimson—Staj long? Weed—Yes. I told her to take a week to each island.—Judge. A Saving Grace. Florence—l can’t understand whj Ethel married Mr. Gunson. He Is old enough to be her father.
