SKETCH OF THE LIFE
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
This remarkable woman, xvhosc tnaiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert end investigating mind, an earnest teeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In lS43she married Isaac Pinkham. a builder and rvai estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those pood old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots end herbs, nature's own remedies calling in a physician only in specially nrpent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gain-.-d a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the studvof roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvestfields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of th2 was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among1 them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, Vith their mother, combined forces to THE BEST COUGH CURE When offered something else instead of Kemp's Balsam stop and consider: Am I sure to get something as good as this best cough cure ?

LOST
Through Coffee
Some people question the 'tatements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Personal experience with thousands prove the general statement true and physicians b-ive records of great numbers of cases that add to the testimony. The following Is from the Rockford, HL, Register-Gazette: Dr. William Langhorst of Aurora has been treating one of the queerest cases of lost eyesight evf In history. Tia patient Is O. A. Leach of Beach county, and In the last four months he nas doctored with all of the specialists about the country and has at last returned home with the fact Impressed on his mind that his case Is incurable.

OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs r steeped on the stove, graduab. uding a gross of bottles. Then cauie the question of selling it. for always before they, had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it uerself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice and there were thousands received careful study, and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was care fully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twentyfive vears she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work.and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ; made from simple roots and herbs ; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the nobla woman whose name it bears. So Glad.

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop of tho Continent. The year that has just closed has done a great deal towards showing the possibilities of Western Canada from an agricultural standpoint. The wheat crop has run very near to the 100,000,-000-bushcl limit that was looked upon as too sanguine an estimate only a short time ago, and the area that has been broken to fall wheat for the coming harvest will go a long way. towards enabling the farmers of the West to overlap on the 100,000,000bushel estimate next year. And while the spring and winter wheat have been doing so well during the past few years the other cereals have been keeping up with the procession. Rye .and barley have made immense strides, and peas and flax have been moving steadily along. Dairying also has been successfully carried on in the new provinces, and in every stage the farmer has been "striking it rich." To such an extent has the success of the West taken hold of outsiders that the rush of Americans to Saskatchewan and Alberta, which was looked upon as marvelous last year, bids fair to be largely exceeded in 100G, and as there are still millions of acres of free homesteads available, which the building of the new railways will render accessible to the markets, new wheat lands will be opened up ere long. Amongst the first to avail himself of the opportunity presented will be the American settler. In a large number of American cities Dominion government agents are located, who are able and willing to give the latest and best in formation in regard to the new districts which the railways will open up, and there will be no abatement of the rush to the Canadian prairies during the coming season. Some time since a poet In the columns of the "Toronto Star" had the following stirring lines, which throb of the Western spirit: There's a stir in the air, there's a thrill through the land, there's a movement toward the Great West; And the eyes of all men for the moment are turned to the country that we love the best; For 'tis Canada's day in the world's calendar, aud to this merry toast let us sup: "Ilere's to the land, the young giaut of the North, Where the prairies are opening up!"

SOLDIERS' STORIES.
ENTERTAINING REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR. Graphic Account of Stirring 8cenei Witnessed on the Battlefield and tn Camp Veterans of the Rebellion BeelU Exrtrltnce of Thrilling N a tare. "Bishop McCabe," said the Major, was Chaplain McCabe during the war. lie went into the service wnn , the One Hundred and Twenty-second ; Ohio, and was captured by the rebs at Winchester. Ho was sent to Libby prison, and was there for four months, having all sorts of experiences. Many men remember him for his cheerfulness as well as for his earnest Chris tian character. "On a rainy, stormy night the Union j prisoners on one of the lower floors of old Libby prison were huddled together in a vain attempt to escape the rain that fairly drenched them. ; Most of them were cold and wet and miserable. Just as the storm was at Its worst, and there was some commotion among the prisoners, some one shouted: 'Hands on your pocketbooksl' As there was no money In anyone's pocket, the call was greeted with a laugh. The men had recognized Chaplain McCabe's voice, and they liked him the better for cracking a joke at a very dark time. "Chaplain McCabe was a great favorite among the boys because of his cheerfulness and sense of humor. He belonged to the class that relieved depression Incident to fatijue or disaster by droll gesticulation or comment. We had one man in our company who never took a discouraging view of any situation. When a heavy rain would strike us on the march and most of the men would be grumbling and swearing, this fellow would raise his voice to shout: 'Who Jn Sam Hill touched the tent?' (A tent leaked at the point touched on the inside.) "Or if we were wading a stream and it seemed a long way across, he would serenely remark: 'I guess we struck this river endways.' Or If a storm blew over the tent he would yell: 'Strike a light, strike a light. I've lost my toothbrush.' Or If a shell burst near him and covered him with dirt, he would say, conventionally: I can lic':i the man who did that with one hand tied behind me.' This cheery fellow was a great comfort to the regiment, and liisbop McCabe was of the same soil, and a gooJ many of the boys swung their caps when he was elected Hishop. "Chaplains like McCabe were good soldiers as well as good preachers. Father Tracy, of the Fourth Regular Cavalry, rescued a rebel otiicer who fell between the lines and was applauded by both armies. Chaplain Dennett, of the Thirty-second Ohio, enlisted and served as a private, and was promoted to chaplain. lie always went Into a fiht with a rifle. Chaplain Springer, of the Third Wisconsin, also went into every fight with a rifle, and died in hospital of several wounds received at Kesaca." "I have often wondered," said the Colonel, "what became of the war chaplains. I can trace, of course, chaplains like McCabe, Pepper, Chldlaw, Lozier, and others of that grade. But I cannot trace many of the chaplains who went out in the three months' service of with the first threeyear regiments in 1SG1. Some of them, I know, became Captains and Colonels In the regiments organized a year and two years later, and not a few of them kept up their praying and preaching habits. But our first chaplain, for example, was a mystery, and he remains a mystery to this day. "However, there are war mysteries without end. That story of a member of the old Chicago Dragoons reminded me of the case of Lieutenant James Howard, of the Forty-sixth Ohio. He enlisted as a private, but for exceptionally courageous conduct in one o! the battles In the West was given a commission. While at home on a furlough, celebrating his promotion, he became intoxicated, and on orders from Secretary Stanton was dismissed from the service. This was a great humiliation, but Howard returned to his company and served as a private to the end of the war. "The official record shows that he was wounded at Lookout Mountain; that he was promoted for meritorious conduct, and that he was dishonorably dismissed from the service. It does not show that he served in the ranks until the muster out of his regiment The officers were in doubt how to treat the case, and no record was made of his (later service, except on the pay roll, and that was regarded as Irregular. When' Howard's widow applied for a pension the application was rejected on the record of Howard's dismissal. Now the boys of the Forty-sixth Regiment are trying to establish the fact of his honorable service after dismissal." "Some time ago," said the Sergeant, "I told the story of Colonel A. F. Rogers, of the Eighteenth Illinois, losing his sword. When he was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the Eighteenth Illinois Rogers' mother presented him a word, properly inscribed. The sword was lost at Rome, Ga., just previous to the Colonel's capture. After a year ia prison Rogers returned to Illinois and organized the One Hundred and Forty-eighth Regiment. In 1865, just forty years ago, he began the search for his lost sword, all the men of his old brigade assisting him. Finally there came to the Adjutant General's office at Springfield a letter from J. Bturgis, of Grow, Okla., stating that he had information as to the whereabouts of the sword. "This letter was sent to Colonel Rogers at Upper Alton, 111, and a letter from him to Mr. Sturgls called out a communication from G. W. Wood, of Angora, Okla., whose brother found the sword on the battlefield In Georgia. After the war the finder of the sword took It with him to Texas. From there It was taken In May last to Oklahoma by G. W. Wood, and a few weeks ago was returned to Colonel .Sogers at his home In Illinois. After this experience I am Inclined to believe that any soldier mystery may be solved, and I feel that the boys of the Forty-sixth Ohio scattered all over the West can clear Lieutenant Howard's record." Chicago Inter Ocean. Captain Harrla and Mrs. Daria. "Not long ago," said the Major, "I found Captain Samuel Harris at one of the colored kindergartens on the South Side. He seemed greatly interested, not on!y in the children an I teachers, but in all the colored people. He told me later that on one occasion, while in command of a . detachment of his ptjiment, the Fifth Michigan Cavalry,
he lost his way, and would have ridden into a strong force of rebels had not a young colored man explained the situation so clearly as to enable hlra to avoid the enemy. "This led him to observe closely, and In the last year of the war he was cognizant of so many cases in which the loyalty and sympathy of colored men were put to severe test that he became the friend of their race for all time. Captain Harris, by the way, commanded a detachment at the famous Dahlgren raid on Richmond, in March, 18ß4. He led the charge on the Westham road, in which he was severely wounded. He was captured a few days later, was taken to Richmond, and, on the theory that the Dahlgren raiders had intended to capture Jefferson Davis, was sentenced by a drumhead court-martial to be hanged. "Two months before he started on the raid Captain .Harris had round a Mrs. Brooke and four children starving. He secured fond for them, and provided for them the ordinary comforts of life. Mrs. Brooke told him
that her husband was in the Confederate army, and that she herself had been the schoolmate and friend of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. A few- days later she wrote Mrs. Davis at Richmond, telling the story of the Union officer's kindness to herself and children, and saying in conclusion: 'If Lieutenant Samuel Harris, of the Fifth Michigan Cavalry, should ever fall Into your hands, do what you can. for him for my sake.' "This letter reached Mrs. Davis, and when It was announced to Mr. Davil that one of the officers of the Dahlgren raiders (who had penetrated the outer fortifications of mcbmonil) had been sentenced to death and was to be ex ecuted at once, Mrs. Davis asked h-2 name. On being told that the wounded officer waiting In a wagon outside wai Lieutenant Samuel Harris, she reminded her husband of Mrs. Brooke's let ter, and sent Captain Waller, of Davis staff, to inquire as to the identify ol the officer under sentence of death. Waller came to the wagon, and aftei a few questions told Harris that hi would not be hanged. Mrs. Davis haS secured a reprieve. "Harris was sent to Libby prison, where his wounds received careful attention. All of .Mr. Davis' Cabinet insisted that he should be hanged, bul Mr. Davis declared that he should b treated as any other prisoner of war The surgeon gave Harris one chance ir. a hundred to live, but he recovered and is active in business in Chlcagi to-day. In 1S03 Captain Harris visited Mrs. Davis at Narragansett Pie: and thanked her for saving his life in 1S(34. All the circumstances were recalh'd, and the Captain learned by a visit to Richmond the whereabouts of the daughter of Mrs. Brooke and others who had played a part in this lit tle war drama. In 1807 Captain Har ris met in New Orleans Colonel Armand Hawkins. Provost Marshal In Richmond In 1804, who was preparing to hang Harris when he received an order from Mr. Davis not to do so. All of Captain Harris' friends know this story, but It is worth the telling again and again." Chicago Inter Ocean. Twelfth Ohio and Jo- "Wheeler. "That story of Robert R. Miller," said the Sergeant, "reminded me of the experience of the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry in finishing up the war. The regiment was not organized until Octo ber, ISOtf, and was kept in the service until late in November, 1805. It de feated John Morgan at Cynthiana, Ky., in June, lSt4, and, as the boys of the regiment put it, was in extremely active service until all the rebs had surrendered. Before they left Cleveland, in November, 1803, some of the men had expressed the fear that they would see no real fighting. In six months they had changed their opinion. "The campaigning in Kentucky was very Uard, but it couldn't hold a can dle to the experience of the regiment in the two Stoneman rakls. In the last raid, In April and May, 1SG5, the men were in the saddle sixty-seven days, participating in the chase after Jefferson Davis and other Confederate leaders. The Twelfth was not in at the capture of Davis, but it captured two of the most distinguished officers of the Confederate army Generals Braxton Bragg and Joseph Wheeler. These two remained with Davis and his escort until after the famous conference in which Basil Duke and others in command declared that it was useless to continue the struggle. "Bragg and Wheeler, being unattached, did not vote on the Davis proposition to keep up the fight, but they approved the course of Duke and others in voting against it, and advocated the policy of escape for Davis and the policy of surrender for the officers and soldiers as soon as they were Informed that Davis had made good his escape. Bragg and Wheeler, with others, agreed to do all In their power to mislead the pursuing Union cavalry, and here comes in my story. "Bragg and three of his staff officers, with escort, left the Davis party and went one way, and Joe Wheeler and other oflicers, with escort, went another. Both parties were pursued, without diverting the column bunting for Davis. Bragg formally surrendered and was sent under escort to Stoneman's headquarters. When Wheeler was captured ho tried to gain time by pretending to be Lieutenant Sharpe, but when he could no longer 6erve Davis by concealing his identity he surrendered. "Bragg, Wheeler and other general officers captured in the raid, and Alexander Stephens, found at his old home, conducted themselves with dignity and gave good advice to their followers. In fact, good feeling was shown on all sides. I remember that when we met Colonel Duke's column, maneuvering to mislead us as to the course Davis had taken, we rode along a parallel road until Duke was informed that lie must go in a given direction or we would resort to violence. This message amused the Colonel greatly, but he said he wasnT looking for trouble and would do whatever was advised. "Then we rode together on the same road, our men exchanging Jokes with the rebs, and advising them to go home, and the rebs, on their side, adTislng us to 'quit our behavln. and as the war was over go back to wbero we belonged. After that we saw all phases of Southern character in east Tennessee and elsewhere and counted ourselves rich in experience when we were sent to Camp Chase In November, 1SC5, for mnstf out and pay. There were a good marly men of the type of Miller honest as the day was long." Chicago Inter Ocean.

DID A WORLD 0F COOD Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cure Heart Pains D zzy Spells and Weakness. Easy to get. hard to get rid of; that is what most sufferers think of dyspepsia. They are astonished when their stomach begins to trouble them seriously. They had been eating hurriedly and irregularly for n long time, to be sure, but they supposed their stomachs quite used to that. Some people know that the strength which the weak stomach needs, and for the lack of which the whole body is suffering, can bo found surely and quickly in Dr. Williams Pink Pills. In hundreds of instances these pills have succeeded where other remedies failed. "My indigestion, " said Mr. J.R. Miller, of Dayton, Va., "came in the first place from the fact that a few years ago I worked a great deal at night, and ate at any odd hour whenever the chance came, and always very hurriedly. One day I found myself a victim of terrible dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the time for several years. I always had a great deal of distress after eating, and when I got up from my sleep my stomach would be so weak that it would hardly take any food. I had very uncomfortable feelings about my heart, aud was dizzy and, whenever I stooped over and then straightened up, my eyes would be badly blurred. "I read tho statements of several per sons who had got rid of obstinate stomach troubles by using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I bought some and they did me a world of good.
