County Board of Examiners More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily j traced to some derangement of the fe- I male organs which manifests itself in | depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, | bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv ousness, sleeplessness, or other fe male weakness. These symptoms are hut warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald of Woodbridge, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkhanr i “ Restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot help from telling about it for the sake of other suffering women. | “ For a long time I suffered untold agony with a female trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and strong, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what a splendid medicine it is.” For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E Pinkham, has under her direction, and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass. Spent All Her Money and Had to Forg* Check to Pay Hotel Bill. Asheville, N. (’.. Sept. 10.—A young and pretty lady, with every appear ance of refinement. Miss Pearl Sor rels, of Canton. N. C\, is behind the bars, locked up on the charge of forg ery. She acknowledged the crime, but claims she was forced to commit the forgery in order to obtain money with which to live, as she was abso lutely without funds to pay her bill at the hotel at which she was stop ping. The charge is that the young wo man forged the name of J. M. Stoner, a prominent dry goods merchant of tliis city, to a check for $80. on the Blue Ridge National Bank, presented it to the Battery Park Bank and re ceived the cash. She gave the name of “Pearl Stew art" when arrested. The forged pa lter was signed in a bold, and what appeared to be a masculine hand, and there seems to bo some doubt that the woman committed the forgery herself. A man who had been seen in her company several times, and who was apparently a stranger in the city, called on the young woman in the jail and held a long conference with her. The young woman said she was fore d to commit the felony to obtain the necessities <»t life. “I had money when I came to Asheville, but it Is all gone. I just had io have some money ‘o pay my hotel bill and other expenses. I alone am responsible. I have said why I had to do it, and no one can blame me for that." PROF. BREWER ELECTED.

All imitations contain much more sweetening than SCHNAPPS. They are made that way to hide poor tobacco im properly cured.

C. Worth the Money. (New York Press.) James Barnes, the correspondent and short story writer, was crossing City Hall park a few days ago. when he was approached by a torn and tat tered derelict, who prefaced .a story of hard luck wit a the touching an nouncement. that he had eaten noth ing for three days. “Well, if that’s so,” said the au thor. “come with me. I’m just going t- lunch, and we mieht as well eat together.” In company with his new found companion, Barnes made his way to a Chambers street restaurant, where he ordered a substantial and satisfy ing meal. Then the waiter brought a "heck for one dollar and fiftv cents, and Barnes thrust his hand into his trousers pocket to dig up only seven cents. He had never been In that particular restaurant before, and the memory of the old adage that “a man is known by the company he keeps,” was not reassuring. So the author turned to his grimy comnanion. “See here,” said he, “I’ve come away from home without any money. Now. if you happen to have a dollar and a half in any of your pockets, just pay this bill. Then we’ll ride up to my room, and I’ll pay you back.” The tramp cast one slow, lingering, admiring glance at Barnes. “Say,” he said, “you’re the best ever. You're the slickest I ever met.” Saying which b- dug a grimy hand into his pocket, nulled out several dollars in small change, and paid the check. “It’s worth the money," was his parting comment. Babinski’s Reflex. (Medical Record.) The peculiar reflex phenomenon to which Babinski’s name has been at tached has often b<-p n noted in organ ic diseases. The symptom has been described as a slow extension of the great toe when the sole of the foot is irritated. Although it seems to he invariably present in children, it can only rarely be elicited in normal adult Individuals. UNIQUE MATRIMONIAL AD. Iowa Man Uses Novel Method Seach- inq for Sixth Spouse. (New York Herald.) To still an aching in his bosom A. M. Graves, a resident of Mason City, Iowa, has again launched himself in to the field of matrimonial seekers and for the sixth time is advertising for a wife, and wife No. 6. Although a man may be persumed to be developing wisdom when he re solves to marry and settle down. Mr. Graves is just now displaying a qual ity more akin to genius than any other, in this last of the many schemes he has foisted upon the fem inine world in seekeing a wife. This time he has been, sending out cards, not postal cards nor picture cards, but plain business cards that have been printed for the purpose. He has sent these cards to many public officials, and has delivered the cards in person to desirable young women. He has sought out prosper ous girls in business or professional life, very libelv because their gener ous incomes may fill one of the con ditions and because such women may be readily interviwed in offices by almost any one on the plea of busi ness. As a result of his visits, how ever. there have been several scenes in which the visitor narrowly escaped arrest. One of the cards of the latest issue reads: “Please consider thoroughly keep private, act immediately. In the old fashioned way, among reliable peo ple. I search for a plain, youngish, prosperous wife. "I am an alumnus of Wesleyan Uni versity, Connecticut; former sunerin tendent of United States Indian schools: middle age, handsome, ath letic. traveler, writer: full of fun; own eigat hundred acres of land; have all proper credentials. “Call immediately upon me. Toler ate no nonsense. “A. M. Graves.” Told of Murder in Sleep. (Sibley, la., special to New York Herald.) Because he talked in his sleep and told about a murder which he com- ! mitted, Charles Rocker was senten- cend today to life imprisonment. I There was no evidence against the | man until the story he told in his sleep was Investigated, when suf- I fieient evidence was found to convict j him. August Schroeder was murdered I two years ago. Charles Rocker, a farm hand, married Sehroeder’s widow | some months lat t. Mrs. Rocker in formed the countv attorney that her I husband, while talking in his sleep, j had told of poisoning her first hus : hand, even telling where he had pur chased the po.son he had adntinisler- j ed. The story was investigated and the j purchase of the poison traced to ' Rocker, Schroeder’s body was ex humed and traces of the poison were i found. Novelist Winston Churchhill has conquered in the first' crisis of his campaign for the gubernatorial nom ination in New Hampshire. It’s funny that a girl always proi ises to marry a man when she is d ing the whole thing anyway. :>f hours 1 iter bis iv i fe fo ind him dead.
