The sufferer from sleeplessness too of

order to secure the coveted rest. But
sleep obtained by the use of opiates is
not refreshing and the benefit is but
temporary at best.
Mrs. 11. A. Fletcher, of 59 Blodget
street, Manchester, N. H., is living evi
dence of the truth of this statement.
She says:"l received a shock of an
apoplectic character. It was so severo
that the of my right eye was af
fected, causing me to see objects double.
I was confined to my bed about four
weeks, at one time being told by the doc
tor that I could not get well. When I
could leave my bed I was in such a ner
■vous state that I could not sleep at night.
I would get up and sit on a chair until
completely tired out and then go Suck to
bed and sleep from exhaustion.
"I had been under the doctor's care
for six weeks when my sister, Mrs.
Loveland, of Everett, persuaded me to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo
People. I began taking the pills with
the result that I soon experienced relief.
One night soon after taking them I lay
awake only a short time and the next
night I rested well. From that time I
slept well every night and soon got well
and strong. I have recommended Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills a number of times,
and my niece has taken them for weak
nerves and poor blood and found them
very beneficial."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured

THE GREAT SANDTOWN TURKEY THEFT
A Story of a Mean Man and a Mean Deed That Was
Its Own Reward.
No«-h Wamsklttle was a mean man;
jne of those mean people who hate to
jee others prosperous, even though it
does not Interfere with them at all.
He lived in Sandtown and raised
turkeys, like everybody else. I-Ie
earned a lot of money, because he fat
tened his turkeys well. It was his
only generous deed, for he begrudged
even the food that he gave himself,
and as for others! Well, Deacon Yan
dertassel once said that Noah Wam
sklttle was so mean that he would
walk three miles to borrow a match
rather than use one of his own to
light hi? fire in the morning.
Noah Wamskittle did not like Dea
con Vandertassel at all, and he liked
him even less after he heard this.
So some days before Thanksgiving
day, he went to a poor man in Sand
town and said to him:
"You know that we will all have to
ship our turkeys to-morrow. Now,
you have only 50 and if you do not
get a good price for them you will be
hard pressed for money this winter.
Well, I know a way to make the
prices higher for you. If you will go
to Deacon Vandertassel's place with
"I See It All " He Moaned.
me to-night we can cut holes into his
turkey houses and let all his birds fly
into the woods. He will be quite un
able to catch them again in time for
shipment and the people in the city
will be glad to pay you high prices
for yours."
The poor man, whose name was
Bill Leggo, made believe to agree
with the mean man. But really he did
not agree with him at all, for he
came of poor but honest parents, and
was very much like them himself. So
he devised a cunning plan.
That night he went to Noah's house
and said to him: "Let us goto do this
deed. But we will have togo into the
woods just behind your house and
work around through them for sev
eral miles, so as to approach the dea
con's place through the underbrush in
the back. It would never do for us
to be seen."
"That is a good idea," said Noah.
"But I do not know the way through
the woods."
"I will guide you," said poor but
honest Bill. "I fear, however, that
you will find it rough going, for we
cannot dare to carry a lantern."
He took hold of Noah's arm and off
they went, up and down and in and
out, through thick and thin and thorn
and swamp, this way and that way,
THE FESTIVAL OF HOME.
Thanksgiving Pre-eminently the Day
of Family Gatherings.
The good old New England festival
of Thanksgiving is one that age doe 3
not wither nor custom stale. Original
ly, and still nominally, a distinctly
religious festival, it appeals to all,
whether old or young, whether pro
fessedly religious or not, and what
ever may be their religious belief or
convictions.
To college and football teams
the day may seem to be of special sig
nificance in reference to triumphs or
disasters on the gridiron field, but
even to these it carries another and
deeper significance which will grow
with the years. And to those of ma
ture years, men and women past 40,
for example, this gracious, time-hon
ored festival serves to punctuate their

twisting and turning, till Noah was
nearly dead and only his great mean
ness kept him going.
At last, scratched and bruised and
full of mud, weary and suffering, he
fell into a deep mudhole, which,
strangely enough, had been avoided
cleverly by poor but honest Bill.
"Never mind," whiGpered Bill, help
ing him up, "we have arrived."
Noah looked through the under
brush, but he could see nothing ex
cept a black mass of something in the
darkness.
"Those are the barns," said Bill.
"Here, take this saw and saw hole 3
into the walls there and I will creep
around the other way and scare the
turkeys so they will come out."
Noah, madder and meaner than
ever, worked hard and sawed big
holes, out of which the turkeys scut
tled. Then, as Bill scared them up,
off they flew into the woods until the
whole big flock had vanished.
As soon as the last one had gone,
poor but honest Bill seized Noah and
said: "We must hurry back and we
must go the same way we came."
"Oh, dear, oh, dear,'' groaned Noah.
| But he followed, and once more ha
was dragged through mudholes and
creeks and over stumps and rocks
until his shins and nose were skinned
and every part of him was sore.
At last they emerged on a road and
in a few moments they were at No
ah's front gate and the mean man hur-
I ried to bed.
The next morning he could hardly
: got up, because he was so sore. But
J he crawled out to feed his turkeys.
When he got to the barnyard, his
! heart nearly stood still. There was
j not a single, solitary turkey in the
place.
He stood with his mouth open, won
dering. Then, slowly a terrible sus
i picion entered his mind. He limped
; as fast as he could to the back, and,
sure enough, there he found great
1 holes in the walls of the houses.
"I see it all," he moaned, sitting
| right down in the mud. "That vil
i lain took me through the woods and
! back to my own turkey houses."
He was quite right.
When poor but honest Bill went by
the house, carting his 50 turkeys to
the town, Noah Wainskittle shook his
fist out of the window, but Bill Leg
go only laughed, and so did every
body else in Sandtown when they
heard of it.
I lives, so to speak, and marks the pass
1 age of years perhaps even more dis
tinctly than New Year's day or birth
| days. For Thanksgiving is pre-emi
j nently the festival of home, the day ol
: all others when home ties and associa
-1 tions assert their sway the strongest,
1 linking the present with the past and
I binding all to the future. All who are
; happy enough to have a home and
hearth turn gladly to it for rest and
refreshment of body and mind, and,
whether present or absent from the
home circle, that is the center and in
spiration of their thoughts.
Perhaps to none is the day more full
of associations and memories than to
those who cannot thus join the home
circle. The toller in the city or in the
country, unable even for a day to quit
his duties, still takes pleasure in
thinking of those at home, and in im
agination, at least, takes his place at
the annual home gathering and shares
the pleasure of the day.
A NEW WAY OF SCRAPING
FLOORS.
Few people would have been willing
to admit that a machine could have
been devised to scrape a floor, get into
every corner and close up to the base
board, and bring a floor to a smooth
and even surface, for one-tenth the ex
pense that such work is done by hand.

WHEN CUBA WAS FOR SALE.
Offered to France for $6,000,000 In
time of Louis Philippe.
It is not generally known that
Cuba very nearly became a French
Colony in the reign of Louis Philippe,
for Spain, being without means of
raising money, Queen Christina of
fered some of the principal Spanish
colonies for sale.
Secret negotiations were carried on
at the Tulleries between Senor Cam
puzano, the Spanish ambassador;
Senor Aguado, the banker; Prince do
Talleyrand, and King Louis Philippe,
and the flrst article of the treaty, ly
which Spain was to sell Cuba to
France for 30,000,000 francs, or $6,-
000,000, was quickly agreed to.
But the second article, relating to
Porto Rico and the Philippines, broke
off the negotiations, for Spain asked
$2,000,000, whereas France would of
fer only $1,400,000, King Louis Phil
ippe asserting that the acquisition of
the Philippines might very easily in
volve him in a war with England.
It is significant that in those days
neigther party paid the slightest at
tention to what the United States
might think; but the Spaniards must
now regret that they did not accept
for it would have saved them many
millions in the ensuing years.—

A Well-Known Remedy.
One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills —a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety, and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.
Cosmopolitan America.
Is there a type of "average Ameri
can workman?" Dr. Arthur Shad
well, an Englishman, author of "In
dustrial Efficiency," tells how in one
of the older towns of Massachusetts
he witnessed a procession of cotton
operatives on strike. "They were
marshaled by nationalities with a cu
rious effect. The different types,
cheek by jowl, stood out in vivid con
trast—the French, the familiar Eng
lish, the Celtic, the Scandinavian, the
Slav, the small Portuguese and the
swarthy Greek. Such a sight can be
seen nowhere else. It brought be
fore my eyes in one living picture the
amazing cosmopolitanism of Ameri
can labor and made me think with a
smile of that convenient abstraction
but almost mythical person of whom
we have heard so much—the 'average
American workman.'"
Workman's Pride at Rest.
Joseph Mowbray, who was building
a chimney at the Westwood church,
Kalkaska, having raised it to the
height of 25 feet, and run out of brick
descended to the ground. He had
scarcely done so when lightning
struck the church. The point where
Joe would have been, had he re
mained, was that at which the bolt
did some of its worst work. Joe feels
grateful for being out of brick, as had
he been killed at work he would al
ways have thought Providence dis
satisfied with the job, and Joe prides
himself that no man this side of Jor
dan can build a better chimney than
he. —Detroit News.

FEARFUL PAINS
SUGGESTIONS HOW WOMEN MAY FIND
RELIEF.
While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. This is a
severe strain on a woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious derangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkliam
that Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable
Compound overcomes woman's special
pains and irregularities.
It provides a safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con
vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of 540 N. Division
Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
" Your medicine is indeedanideal medicine
for women. I suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down
pains. I consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief. A friend from the
east advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound." I did so, and no longer
suffer as Idid before. My periods are natural;
every ache and pain is gone, anil my general
health is much improved. I advise all women
who suffer to take Lydia E. l'iukliuw's Vege
table Compound."
Mrs. Tillie nart, of Larimore, N. D.,

Success in the Gulf Coast Country
Here is an example of what YOU could do.
SSOO Realized from One
Acre of Onions.
Mr. Geo. Hoffman, of Kingsville, Texas, planted early
this Spring five acres in carrots. In March, he sold his car
rots to Dennj'- & Co., of Chicago, for $5 per crate. His net
returns on five acres of carrots were $320 per acre. One acre
planted in onions yielded more than 20,000 pounds, for which
he received 2 1-2 cents a pound. Result: SSOO per acre.
Mr. Hoffman is not a m5 r th, hut a real, live, up-to-date farmer;
write him at Kingsville and he will tell more about his wonderful success.
Such results may seem beyond belief, but they are facts. You
might do as well in the Gulf Coast Country. It has a mild climate;
tender vegetables can be raised almost every month in the year. Tha
farmer there puts his crop on the market in Winter and early Spring,
when the price is highest. By irrigation he insures himself against
crop failure; rivers or artesian wells give a bountiful supply of water.
I wo and sometimes three crops a year are raised and twenty acres
there will make as much as fifty acres in other places.
Don't you think this is better than a one-crop country where your
success depends on uncertain weather with irregular rainfall ? Come
to the Gulf Coast Country and win success as others have done.
Woiv the land is cheap and you can get it on easy terms. Twenty
acres will cost you about SSOO. The cost of clearing it is about $5 an
acre. The cost of water for irrigation varies. You may want an
artesian well of your own ; you may get water from some river; or you
may got it from your neighbor. But the cost is not great and those
who have tried it have netted from the first crop, a sum which has paid
all expenses, and left a good surplus.
It is not only a good place to make money, but it is also a good
place for a home. The sunny, mild winters are delightful and the
summers are tempered by the cool breezes from the Gulf.

me, but after I had used the Compound two
months I became regular and natural and am

Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound stands without a peer as a
remedy for all the distressing 1 ills of
women.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound rests upon the
well-earned gratitude of American
women.
When women are troubled with pain
or irregularities, displacements or ul
ceration of the organs, that bearing
down feeling, inflammation, backache,

as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, ex

sleeplessness, melancholy, they should
remember there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound at once removes
such troubles. Kef use to buy any other
medicine, for you need the best.
