greatly alarmed. went in to breakfast.
Madame Washington, asking after her
blooded colt, added: "My favorite. I

was general for a moment.
Then George said: "Your favorite.
Madame, is dead." Though
srrieved. she rejoiced in her son, *'wh'o

as 6430 Union avenue, Chicago.
"I'm Hoc-h, all right," he said under
cross-examination, "but Fm a very
much abused and misrepresented man.''
How abused?" asked Detective Fo?
garty. Hodi made no reply at first,
and consented to go to Chicago with
Fogarty. He then aske.d what .the
charge against him was, and was informed
that he was charged with the
murder of Marie Fisher and with bigamy.
"I did not kill Marie Fisher," he said,
"and I never had but two wives in my
life. My first wife is stilt alive in the
West somewhere."
In four pocketbooks the police fotind
six oue-hundred-dollar bills, five twen
I ty-dollar bills and a quantity or small

The same correspondent describes
Warsaw as being in a state of complete
anarchy. "Many have been killed
or wounded in charges by troops and
by the recklessness of swashbuckling

WOMEN'S NEGLECT

I 3aa; th Tbua Lost Is Bertwsd by Lydt^
| BL Pinkhamfe Vegetable Compound
How many women do yon know who
are perfectly well and strong? We
hear every day the same story over and
over again. "-I do not feel well; 1 am
ao tired all the timM"
More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no .doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some derangement of the female
organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go *
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerr*
niianpss. aleffnlessness. lencorrhcBa.
These symptoms are but. warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
heeded a life of suffering1 or a serioua 1
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Miss Kate McDonald, of Wood bridge,
N. JM writes:
! Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
" I think that a woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
I cannot help from telling mine for the sake j
of other suffering women.
u For a long tima I suffered untold agonyj
with a uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me a physical wreck, and no one
thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has entirely
rured me, and made me well and strong, and
I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a .splondia medicine it is."
If you are ill, aon t nesuato to gei a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound at once, and write to
Mrs. Piokham, Lyon, Mass., for special I
advice?it La fret and always helpful 4 1
