Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111., Cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : When life looked brightest to me I
sustained a hard fall and internal complications were the result.
I was considerably inflamed, did not feel that I could walk, and lost
my good spirits. I spent money doctoring without any help, when a
relative visited our home. She was so enthusiastic over Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, having used it herself, that
nothing would satisfy her until I sent for a bottle. I have thanked
her a hundred times for it since, for it brought blessed health to me
and cured me within seven weeks.
I now wish to thank you, your medicine is a friend to suffering
women."— LILLIE DEGENKOLDF..

A Dental Comedy,
I>r. Ilosseau, a dentist, received a
' visit from a young man, says a Paris
telegram in the London Express. The
dentist glanced at his visitor, gave a
sudden start of recognition, but then
said calmly: "Please sit down." Then,
telling him that it would be necessary
to lake an impression of his jaw, Dr.
Ilosseau filled the young man's mouth
with moist plaster.
When the plaster had hardened, the
dentist said: "Now, my young thief,
I've got you. On Monday night you
I snatched my wife's pocket-book from
I her hand In the street. You didn't rec
ognize me, but I know you; so come
along."
The gagged young man accompanied
his captor to the police station, where
lie wrote a confession of the theft, and
said he was ready to restore the
money.
When the dentist received the money
stolen from his wife he called for a
hammer, and, breaking the hardened
plaster, released the imprisoned jaw
of the thief.
"I am going to be married," ex
plained the young man; "so I had to
have my teeth straightened. And
that's why I stole the lady's monev."

1 0. S. MARSHAL, 112
LBY TAPPAN ADNEY, ♦
of"The Klondike Stampede," Eta. #
Jolinuy Healy was troubled. He
was used to that. Twenty-five years
selling beads and blankets to border
Sioux and coming out without a
scratch, he knew a few things. He
had not been sheriff at Fort Benton
for some years to no purpose.
Only a year before, the Indians had
determined to kill him, as the best
way of expressing their opinion of a
man who had come among them for
»the sole purpose of selling them goods.
Two Indians died suddenly in conse
quence, and no one knows how, he had
been taken into the tribe; in place, it
seems, of one of those who had died.
Moreover, he might almost be called
a chief; for the man whose place he
took, and who had wanted to kill him,
was a chief. The Indian had been al
together in the wrong, and the trader
right, and that was their notion of
savage justice. This strange circum
stance, however, is not the story. It
was a fact, though, that the Chilkoots
had made him a Crow —"Klukwakiti-
shan" (Old Man of the Crows) they
called him.
Johnny Healey's trading post was
some distance off, so government
thoughi it well to make him a United
! States marshal.
Johnny Healey, upon being appointed
marshal, being a man of experience,
saw it would make the work easier
to get the Indians to help him. It
would save him much trouble; besides.
It would please them. So he appointed
from among his own people, the Chil
koots, three skookum young men as
policemen.
Now Indians have their "bad men"
the same as white peoole. There was
one fellow who was always making
trouble. Finally, he put a knife into
| his squaw for some trilling matter and
the marshal had to send the police
men down to arrest him. They brought
him up handcuffed. He came willing
ly enough. The steamer to take hini
to Sitka would not be up for two or
three weeks, and meanwhile he aid
not know what to do with his prison
er. He had no place to keep him. Tha
store consisted of a single room where
the goods were kept, with the living
room and kitchen behind. He could
not keep him there. At the side of the
building was a shed used for a store
room and entered through the store.
; So he put him in there. That was no
place for him, though, and besides, it
tvould cost something to keep him until
the steamer came, and the government
made no provision for such a contin
gency. The marshal scratched his head
and stroked his chin. Finally he hit
upon a plan. He called up the three
policemen and said to them:
"Go inside and tell the man that if
he will give me his word of honor to
be on hand when the steamer comes in
I will let him go free. Tell him that's
me way white men do; that sometimes
they come back even when they arc
going to be hanged." He hoped the
plan would work. There was no al
ternative.
The policeman went inside and in a
short while they came out and an
nounced that the prisoner said "All
right." So he unlocked the handcuffs
and the man walked out. And he kept
his promise. Every few days he came
up to the shore to inquire about the
steamboat. Finally the steamboat
came and the marshal said to the man:
"The steamboat won't sail for two or
three days. Be sure to be on hand
when the steamboat sails."
It happened that the man was a
Chilkat. The Chilkats didn't always
pull with the Chilkoots. They were
blood kin, but they sometimes dif
fered on politics. The prisoner had
friends. He was willing togo, but it
, seems his friends were far from being
so. They did not at all approve of
I the trip to Sitka. Self-respecting Chil
kats only went to Sitka to spend their
money and get drunk. So the steamer
sailed, and the man was not there.
In fact at the very time the steamer
was getting under way, at least 50
Chilkats, along with the prisoner, had
1 repaired to a largo empty house about
half a mile distant from the store, and
| were then and there indulging in a
feast and filling up on Alaska whiskey.
"Go down, take your man and bring
him here," commanded the marshal
to the policemen, when he saw the
man was not there and had heard what
: was going on.
| The three policemen filed down to
where the festivities were going on.
In a little while they filed back to the
store.
"What's the matter with you? Yon
arc officers. You are big men. Why
don't you take him?"
There was no answer.
"Then I will," he said; and the In
uians saw he meant it.
Old Donawak, chief of the Crows,
spoke up. "They will kill you." They
knew it, and they were his friends.
The whole v-illage turned out. Every
man was there, and they started ahead
of him for the house where the men
were. But the Chilkat gang, at best,
were two to their one, and they were
drinking. Arrived at the front of the
house, he paused not an instant, put
pulled open the door and stepped in.
| The room was chock-a-block with In
i dians. They were lined up in three
i tiers all around the sides of the room
i and there were men standing In the
j centre. There was the prisoner, but
I he was in the very last tier next the
I far wall. The moment the Indians
saw who It was they set up a hubbub.
J "Tell then when they are still I will
have something to say," said he qui
etly to tho Interpreter.
Instantly there was silence. In
dians are always polite that way.
With hands clasped behind his bacli
snd fixing his gaze squarely upon the
man in the rear, he said, speaking
siowly and quietly: "When you are
all through eating, when it is all over,
I want to see the prisoner at the store
Tell him to come with the policemen."
There was a dead silence.
The trader turned to go. Turning
back, half around, he spoke again: "11
there is any person here who object.3,
let him speak right now."
There was a dead silence, as before.
Then to the policemen: "I want
you to stay here until the feast ia
over."
Then he went back to the store. He
was playing a desperate game; thai
it might work he could only hope. It
might be more correct to say that
Johnny Healy never for an instant,
after the inception of a course of ac
tion, allowed a doubt of success to
cross his mind. Force, he saw, was
cut of the question. No man would
come alive out of that hole, if the
first hand were raised. Every Chilkat
carries a six-shooter in the waistband
of his pants and a knife in his shirt
to use when he thinks necessary. Three
hours passed. The policemen came
back to the store. The prisoner was
not with them.
The trader had been against as hard
a proposition as this before, but not
exactly of this kind. If he weakened,
his authority was gorfe. He rubbed his
chin once more and looked vacantly
out through the small window in front
of the store. Then his eyes wandered
to the different objects about the din
gy room. Against the wall near the
window stood a small table. On the
table was a copying press. It was just
an ordinary commercial copying press.
He used it for keeping copies of let
ters he sent outside for goods and other
matters. He had found it a useful
thing, and had brought it from Mon
tana. It was somewhat of a mystery
to the Indians. There was not another
one in Alaska this side of the gover
nor's office at Sitka. Perhaps they
had some idea about its being "Offi
cial." They knew that letters to Sit
ka first went into that machine. How
ever, we may not know all that passed
through the minds of the savages
whenever they came into the store to
buy a bolt of calico or a plug of to
bacco. An idea struck the trader. The
copying press!
"So ho refuses to come,eh? I'll fix
that," he said, with a look of deter
mination that, was meant to convince.
"So he won't come, eh? Who are his
friends?" he almost screamed at the
alarmed policemen who stood waiting
after the delivery of their report. Lift
ing the lid of the tall desk lie took
out a large sheet of writing paper and
with a great show of deliberation, ho
reached for a pen and dipped it into
the ink.
"Who are his friends that, will not
let him come?" he demanded fiercely.
They were all known. One by one they
were called off and slowly and care
fully each name was written down on
the paper. There were nine altogether.
He now held up the sheet so they could
see the names written upon it, and
theji walking briskly across the room,
opened the letter book, placed the
sheet of paper in, closed the book, put
it under the letterpress and, giving
the wheel a sharp turn, brought it
down firmly upon the book.
"There- He won't come, eh? The
prisoner will be here by sunset!"
The policemen looked at each other
with a mystefied air, muttered some
thing to each other, and, as the trad
er waved them out, they backed out of
the room.
Johnny Healey sat down in a chair.
He wiped his brow, for the day was
warm. He had played his last card.
He knew perfectly well that the men
would go right back and every Indian
in that house would know what had
been done.
Half an hour passed. It was an anx
ious one for the trade. Presently he
heard voices outside. Then the sound
of feet upon the steps and the door was
pushed open. The yard was filled with
Indians —Chilkats and Chilkoots. In
front was the prisoner. He was fair
ly pushed into the door.
"Take him! Take him!" several
voices said at once in Tlingit.
The Indian went to Sitka. What
would have happened if the bluff had
failed even Johnny Healy didn't know.
—Collier's Weekly.
Lord Rosebery's Descent.
The Earl of Rosebery appears to
have been the right man in the right
place yesterday, and this in more
senses than one. His lordship, it
would seem, had a genealogical claim
to deliver the Millenary oration. An
antiquarian correspondent informs us
that Lord Uosebery "has a clear de
scent from the great king of the Sax
ons through Princess Margaret, sister
of King Henry VIII. She was the wife
of the chivalrous but rash James,
fourth king of the Scots of that name,
who came to grief at Flodden, and
their son and successor was James V,
the father of that most romantic of
princesses, Mary Queen of Scots,
Queen Mary had a half-brother, the
Earl of Moray, the same who forced
her poor trembling hand to sign the
deed of abdication, who founded a
lire of nobles, the fourth of whom
gave a daughter as wife to the ninth
Earl of Argyll. He had the misfortune
to lose his head at Edinburgh for op
posing James II of England, whose
representative is 'Mary III,' otherwise
the Princess Louis of Bavaria. This
Countess of Argyll was mother of tho
next earl, ancestor of the fourth duke,
a sister of whose was Countess of
Rosebery, and great great-grand
mother of the present noble earl." —

low the waist and is, therefore, easily
kept in place. The fronts are laid in
single side pleats, at the shoulder
seams, but are arranged in gathers at
the waist line to produce soft, grace
ful folds. The narrow vest front is
separate and attached to the lining,
permanently at the right side but
hooked into place under tli* left front.
The back is plain across the shoulders
and drawn down in gathers at the
waist line, 'ilie sleeves are novel and
stylish, the material being cut away at
the outer seams to admit the puffs of
laca, but these may be omitted and
the sleeves made plain when preferred
as shown in the small view of back.
To cut this waist for a woman of
medium size three and five-eight yards
of material twenty-one inches wide,
two and five-eight yards twenty
seven inches wide, or one and five
eight yards forty-four Inches wide will
be required, with one and one-eighth

Woman's Tea Gown.
Attractive and becoming tea gowns
make economical as well as fashion
able possessions. The woman who
saves her street garments by never
wearing them within doors and re
serves her afternoon gowns for their
proper service is enabled to keep well
dressed at less cost than she who, pos
sessing no tasteful home gowns, wears
the garments of iiiori formal use in
her bedroom or boudoir. The very
charming May Manton model shown
in the large drawing is eminently sim
ple yet graceful and stylish at the
same time. The material from which
the originnl was made is old rose
cashmere having an edge of black em
broidery thft formed the foot-frill,
revers, collars and cuffs. The yoke is
of tucked taffeta. All bright and be
coming shades of color are correct and
henrietta. albatross, ind all the light
weight wools as well an soft finished
eilks are appropriate.
The foundation is a fitted lining that
extends to the waist line only, onto
which the yoke is faced and to which
the portions of the gown are attached.
The gown itself is cut with loose, flow
ing fronts, under-arm gores that out
line the figure and a back that is laid
in inverted pleats to give a Watteau
effect. The upper edges of the back
are finished with revers. Bolero fronts
that are softly draped from the under
arm seam to the centra front have
revers that roll over at the upper edge
and meet those of the back at the
shoulders. The sleeves are in bishop
stj'le with deep pointed bell cuffs, and
at the neck is a turn-over collar.
To cut this gown for a woman of
medium size eleven yards of mater
ial twenty-one indies wide, nine and
one-half yards twenty-seven inches
wide, seven and one-qunrter yards
thirty-two inches wide or five and one
half yards forty-four inches wide will
be required, with one-half yard tuck
ing for yoke and one and three-quar
ter yards twenty-one inches wide, two
and seven-eight yards forty-four
inches wide for frill.
A Timely Tip.
A tip for you. An inch-wide stitched
band like the bodice is much more be
coming when a contrasting waist and
skirt are worn, as a belt to match the
skirt makes one look so much shortor
waisted.
Woman's Shirt Waist or Blouse.
Tasteful shirt waists are in constant
demand. Each new design finds its
place and creates its own vogue. This
extremely pretty model by May Man
ton is one of the latest out and in
cludes several novel feature's. As
shown it is of French grey dog-skin
flannel with the narrow front of white,
but both plain and figured flannels, all
waist cloths and silks are appropriate,
while the design is suited also to the
embroidered waist lengths.
The fitted lining closes at the centre
front and terminates at the waist line.
On it are arranged the portions of the
waist proper. The fronts are laid in
two tucks at each shoulder, that ex
tend to yoke depth and are then left
free to form soft fulness over the bust.
The narrow vest portion is plain and
is caught by the buttons to the right
side and buttoned into place at the
left. The backs are tucked from
shoulders to waist and give the de
sired efj'ect but are arranged over fitted
lining, the lower edges of which are
flared to form cuffs. At the neck is a
stock composed of the grey with front
of white that closes, with the front at
the left side.
