Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the crreatest triumphs of Lydia presence 01 danger may oe maue mau if est by profuse monthly periods, accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, secure a bottle of Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice if you will write her about yourself. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advisiDg sick women free of charge. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:? " I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have lwd with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen months ago my periods stepped. Shortly after I felt so badly that I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. " Soon after I read one of your advertisements and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After biking five bottles as directed the tumor ia entirely gone. I have been examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more, and I am entirely well."?Fannie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut Street^ Bradford, Pa. RESTJEEECTION BY DELUGE. \ Terrific Torrent Does Damage to City of Dead, Exposing Hundreds of Corpses. Kansas City, Aug. 23.?The washing >ut of graves at Elmwood cemetery >y torrential rains today exposed learly 200 bodies to view. The cemetery grounds, which are five miles from the business center of the city, were flooded. Monuments toppled >ver and other damage was done. Much damage was done in the country districts. In the city 5:93 inches )f water fell in three hours and a half, i record for that length of time. The police and fire department rescued nany persons from basements in the aorth end of town and in the east and west bottoms, where the water entered many small houses. At Kansas ZJity and Armourdale and Argentine, Kan., across the line from here, much lamage was suffered by railroads, wholesale houses and packing house md several families had to be taken *rom their homes by firemen. Another Good Man Gone Wrong He neglected to take Foley's Kidney Dure at the first signs of kidney trouble, loping it would wear away, and he was >oon a victim of Bright's disease. There s dan & fir in delav. but if Foley's Kidnev J are is taken at once the symptoms will lisappear, the kidneys are strengthened md yon are sound and well. A. R. Bass, of Morganton, Ind., had to get up :en or twelve times in the night, and lad a severe backache and pains in the kidneys, and was cured by Foley's Kidney Cure. The Kaufmann Drug Co. Foresaw His Death in Wei1. Four days before his death overtook trim Ben Smith foresaw his end and nommitted his fears to paper. Smith was a homesteader, eighteen miles north of Coulee. On May 11 he addressed a letter to the county clerk of Douglas county stating he feared hi? end would come before he was through with a well he was digging. The note left directions for the disposition of his effects and was left in his cabin. On Tuesday the violent death that Smith foresaw overtook him. Two heavy blasts were heard from the well he was sinking, and, as the settler was not seen about the place for some days, neighbors investigated the matter. The well was partly full of water, 3 ?.cr c< ? cuiu una uemg uidwa un ounon a uibmembered remains were found at tl e bottom. Both legs and an arm were torn off by the explosion. A broken ladder gave the clew to the man's death. It was evident that aft?r lighting the fuse9 he started for the surface, only to be precipitated to the bottom of the shaft by the collapse of the ladder.?Tacoma, Ga., Ledger. Finding a needle in a haystack is easy compared to locating a country friend in a ten-cent store. Symptoms. A physician was talking about his patient's symptoms. "Young, strong people don't give me enough symptoms when they are ill," he said, "but the middle aged and the | aged give me too many. Thinking about their health all the time, studying their condition all the time, the aged and the middle aged discover a symptom in every muscle, in every organ, in every limb. Thus they confuse me. "The average sufferer of fifty or so will pour upon my head a deluge of symptoms like this: " 'Well, doctor, I'm miserable all over, feverish one minute, freezing the next. I've a gnawing pain in ray j liip and side and back and an all gone sensation in the stomach, with a shooting, neuralgic headache over the left eye. I have a queer taste in my mouth, a dizziness when I stoop over and a dull ache up and down the right side, along with a kind of numbness. I cough a !6t, my throat's sore, and I've the earache. Appetite's fair, but not what it should be. I have a feeiing of lassitude, and I'm very weak. These are only a few of my main symptoms. To proceed, etc.' "?Exchange. An Unruffled Spirit. A contented spirit was Mrs. Snow's, so contended that at times her neighbors found it trying and took an unrighteous satisfaction in presenting any small thorns which might prick through her comfort. "No, my Angle hasn't the measles," said Mrs. Snow one day. "Well, perhapte it seems strange she should escape the epidemic, but my children are unusually fortunate always in those respects. Of course I take the best of care of them, and, then, they inherit a tendency to throw off any germs. I anticipate no illness with Angie." In spite of this the redoubtable Angie came down with measles a week later, and the inquiring friend again approached Mrs. Snow. "Yes, dear Angie has the measles at last," said the contented mother. "Now, most of the other children are well, and as the doctor has plenty of time to attend to her it really seemed an opportunity for Angie. I don't suppose there ever was a child on whom they came | out more beautifully than on Angie. I tell the doctor I think he may well be proud of his little patient."?Youth's Companion. The Atmosphere. Even if it were possible for man to lire without breathing air he could not exist on the earth if it were without an atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the most important element of their food, from the air, and without plants there could be no food for animals and therefore no human beings. Water also comes from the atmosphere, but if there were no water there could be neither plants nor animals. If food and water could be supplied in some other way the world would still be unhabitable by plants and animals owing to the severity of the cold. Without an atmosphere there would be no winds and consequently no waves or ocean currents. The sea?if we may suppose one to have been supplied by some unknown cause?would be a stagnant pool, uninhabitable by seaweed or fish. American Buyer In London. "My American accent came near to taxing me just $430 on my last trip to London," remarked a clubman. "When I tried to buy a certain bulldog pup there the kennel man priced it at $500, as he had me sized up as an American and. in his regard, an easy mark. I made a deal with a cabby at the hotel stand, who went around and bought the same pup for me at $60, a very fair nrlee ns the dr>?? will never be a show winner. I gave a $10 tip to the cabman, so I made $430 by empioying an agent who called his hansom an 'ansom and his horse an 'orse."-?New York Sun. Jackdaw and Magpie. In England the daw is hardly ever mentioned but as Jack, yet daw and not jackdaw is the proper name of the species. It is suggested that the pie owes the "mag" to some corruption of Margaret or Meg. To mag is to chatter, but whether the verb was derived from the name or the name from the verb Is a question. It is more than probable that the Jim Crow of America (the old name for a negro boy) was brought across from England in the days when a crow was Jim, as a swallow was Dick.?London Standard. Egg and Battle. Take a boiled egg, remove the shell, have a bottle with a large neck, add a piece of paper to the neck and light it. When in blaze put the egg on it, point down, and the heat will pull the egg with great force inside. Now put again a blazed paper in the bottle and manage to have the egg in the neck point up, and the heat will push out the egg with an explosion. ? Perpetual. "You always appear to be worried about .your housekeeping," remarked the sympathetic friend. "But really," replied the housekeeper, "there are only two occasions when I am really worried. One is when I haven't a servant and the other is when I have." At the Art Mvienm. Her Husband?That statue Isn't true to nature. His Wife?What's wrong with it?

She ruled over a grateful and suppressed family of New Englanders for eight years, and then announced her intention of marrying within six weeks. "I suppose it is Tiab whom 3*011 mean to marry, Tibbie?" asked her nominal mistress, referring to a tall, mild faced young Scotchman who had spent more or less time in Tibbie's spotless kitchen for the last three years. "It is," announced Tibbie calmly. "Here he's been coming and sitting wi' me all these times and never a word o' merrying. So at long last I said to him, *If you've no mind to tak me. Rab, ye can jist say so. and I'll spend nae more on bright ribbons to sit up wi' ye, but I'll tak' my money to buy one of those talking machines that plays tunes, after I've paid for a strip o' new oilcloth to cover the floor where you've worn out the old one. and then I'll tak' my releegious books and settle down in quiet.' "Rabbie was so concerned at my drear prospects and the thoughts o' my savings he said ho would ha'e me whenever I got ready." Shooting Down the Alps on Skoe*. The quest for a moral is provoked by a long list of skeeing accidents in the Alps. In itself the exercise can hardly be considered more perilous than skating, though the proportion of sprained ankles and twisted tendons is higher, but when the skeer skees a distance from his base and ventures upon unfamiliar ground there are at least three ways in which calamity is liable to befall him. On a glacier he may break through the snow bridge which he is trying to shoot and be buried in a crevasse. On the hillside he may skce violently down a steep place and. unable to arrest his pace, end by skeeing over a precipice. Almost anywhere, unless he knows the signs, he may skce in the tracks of an avalanche and be overwhelmed. Examples of each of these several kinds of disaster have ?

Sufficiently Identified. She walked into a branch bank on upper Broadway and pushed a check through the paying teller's window. "You will have to be identified." said he. "I don't know you, madam." "You don't, eh?" said the woman, with fire in her eye. "Aren't you the father of the Smith family that has a. flat in the Pileremin apartments?" "Y-e-s." "Well, I am the rod headed janitress that your wife's always complaining about. When you left home this morning I heard you say: 'Emily, if our children get fighting with that old fury in the basement don't quarrel with her. Wait till I get home and let me talk with her.' Now, If you think you can get the best of an argument with"? "Here's your money, madam," said the paying teller. And she took it and went.?Everybody's Magazine. Where Lincoln mt tne wnctitone. A soldier at whose house when a boy Lincoln paused in his tramps in Illinois and who lent him a whetstone to sharpen his jackknife met him during the war in Washington. Lincoln remembered the incident and spoke of the use of the whetstone. "Ya-a-s," drawled out the old soldier, "whatever did you do with the whetstone? I never could find it. We 'lowed mebbe you took it along with you." "No, no! I put it on top of the gatepost ? that high one." "Mebbe you did. Nobody else could have reached it, and none of us ever thought to look there for it." There it was found where it was placed fifteen years before. The soldier reported the fact to the president. Why He Wanted a Pass.. When .Tim Fisk was in his glory as a railroad magnate one day he was greatly annoyed by people asking for passes over his road for all sorts of reasons. He was well worked up when a seedy looking individual asked for a pass and asked sharply, "On what grounds do you ask for a pass?" The applicant replied, "Because I do not want to pay my fare." Fisk called a clerk and said to him: "Gi%*e this man a pass to anywhere and return. lie is the first man that has told the truth today."?Boston Herald. A Couple of Bnll*. On the edge of a small river in County Cavau, Ireland, is a stone with this Inscription: "When this stone is out of sight it is not safe to ford the river." But this is even surpassed by the famous post erected some years ago by the surveyors of the Kent (England) roads: "This is the bridle path to Faversham. If you can't read this you had better keep to the main road." Natnral Fitness. "My friend," said the man who was getting out of the barber's chair with a slashed cheek, "you have enlightened my mind on a point that has hitherto been a mystery." "What is that, sir?"
