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."

Evidently, chewers cannot resist the
flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS be
cause SCHNAPPS cheers them more
than any other chewing tobacco and
every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the
good thing along—one chewer makes other chew
ers—until the fact is now established that there
are many more chewers and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those States where
SCHNAPPS tobacco was first sold than there are in
the States where SCHNAPPS has not yet been offered
to the trade.
<• /
\/,f
AND
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CHEWisIG
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine Java coffee, sweetened r-,
just enough to bring out its natural, stimulating qualities. ■■ •
SCHNAPPS pleases all classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that really pleases them better
at any price; the poor, because it is more economical than
the larger 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their money’s worth
of the real snappy, stimulating flavor so appreciated by tobacco
lovers. All imitations contain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that way to hide poor tobacco im
properly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco for tobacco’s sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.
Sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts. Strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs.

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.

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.
