WOMAN SICK TWELVEYEftRS Wants Other Women to Know How She Was Finally Restored to Health. Louisiana, Mo.: —"I think a woman naturally dislikes to make her troubles ...... i : i known to the public, Pbut complete restor- . ation tohealth means so much to me that I cannot keep from telling mine for the sake of other suffer ing women. "I had been sick about twelve years, and had eleven doc tors. I had drag ■ ■ ging down pains, pains at monthly periods, bilious spells, and was getting worse all the time. I would hardly get over one spell when I would be sick again. No tongue can tell what I suffered from cramps, and at times I could hardly walk. The doctors said I might die at one of those times, but I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound and got better right away. Your valuable medicine is worth more than mountains of gold to suffering wo men. "—Mrs. BERTHA MUFF, 503 N. 4tb Street, Louisiana, Mo. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., seem to prov« this fact.

Jim Slocum of Montgomery county, ' avers the Kansas City Journal, was called as a witness to Impeach the tes- ! timony of a man in that county. Jim was asked if he was acquainted with the reputation of the witness for truth and veracity. Jim said that he guessed maybe he was. "Is it good or bad?" "Well." said Jim, "I don't, want to do the man no injustice, but I will Bay that if his neighbors were to see him looking as if he was dead they would want some corroboratln' evi dence before they would be willing to bury him." Jewels In a Flower-Bed. The recovery of a quantity of stolen Jewelry from a flower-bed was de scribed at Kingston-on-Thames police court the other day, when a general servant was charged with theft from her mistress, a resident of Ivydene, Southborough-road, Surbiton, London. The lady had missed a pearl pin and a pearl and diamond ring. Thinking she might have lost the jewels in the street, she issued printed notices of fering a reward for their recovery. When she lost a number of other : things she placed tile matter in the ; hands of the police. The detective said that from what the prisoner told \ him he searched the garden, and in one of the flower-beds found some of j the jewelry. The rest he found in j the prisoner's ted room.

The woof ai>d warp are as straight and true and compact as if it had required hours of concentration to produce the fabric. Actual events follow in such dramatic sequence that it almost seems as if art had been brought to bear upon their presenta tion. The other day a magazine writer visited the new state house in Boston in order to see the decorations that had been recently placed on the walls. He was standing looking at. the pic ture painted by Mr. Robert Reid, the picture of Otis delivering his fiery speech before the judges, when sud denly a voice spoke at his elbow. Looking round, he saw standing be side him a short, slight man in a blue uniform. Tt did not take the little bronze button in the lapel of his coat to label him as an old soldier. He was stamped with it.from the erect carriage of his head and shoulders to the glance of his keen gray eye. "You have been through the build ing?" he asked suddenly. And upon being told that it was the writer's first visit., he politely offered his services as guide. They were accepted prompt ly. The little man in blue pointed out the old Hessian drum and sword, the first musket captured from the British, and the one that fired the shot at Lex ington. He knew stories of the fam ous portraits on the walls, and after having examined the old senate and council chamber, he led the visitor down to the great octagon-shaped ro tunda, where, behind their plates of glass, artfully grouped and festooned, were the battle flags of the .Massachu setts regiments nothing but the bare flagstaff? of some, others mere shreds of bunting hanging in pathetic fes toons, only a few with the colors in tact, pierced here and there with bul let holes. Stopping before the first corner he began in his low, well-modu lated voice to explain about them. There were two shafts, shattered and roughly spliced a few inches below the gilded si>ear-heads. ''Those two flags," he began, "were given to the regiment by two sisters, who were engaged to be married to two officers; one a captain, the other a lieutenant. As you see, the flags were both hit in almost identically the same spot, and under them both officers were killed." Pointing to an other flag he said, "Beneath this flag seven men were killed and four were wounded. Tt was decorated with a medal of honor." So it went on. There was a story to almost every one of the timeworn relics of the battle fields. At last the guide came to the case in the northwest corner of the hall. Immediately in front was a sil ken banner across whose faded red and white strips was a big blotch of brown. It needed no second glance to tell what the blotch meant. -V. ,v. _V„ -V. ,V. if. .V..V. "There is a story here," remarked the visitor, and the little man in blue looked at him keenly. "Yes, sir, there is," he replied. "Three men were killed carrying that flag at the battle of Appomattox; as one would fall another would snatch it tip, and still they carried it forward. As they went on, in the charge, a shell exploded over the head of the last man who had caught it.and a frag ment. struck him in the arm, between shoulder and elbow, cutting it off as by a surgeon's knife. He clasped the flag to his breast with the bloody stump and staggered on. At last, as he felt himself weakening, he turned about, and, seeing near him a man in his company who came from the same town, he cried, 'For God's sake, take it, Frank, I can't carry it any longer.'" The visitor was bl\eathless. "Well," ho said, "and then — "There is a strange ending to that," returned the guide. "I was telling this to some visitor only the other day. and had got as far as what I am tell ing you when a tall man with gray hair, who was standing about where you are now, spoke up. 'Comrade,' he said, 'you're right! I was Frank.'" A few minutes later, as they went down the corridor, the visitor asked another question. "And what was the name of the ser geant whose blood we see there?" he asked. "His name was Plunkett," was the answer. "There he is!" A soldierly looking man in the blue uniform of a messenger of the senate came walking down the corridor. The magazine writer and his guide turned toward him. Across his breast was ninned an empt" sleeve. —J. B. in Har )er's Weekly. iWbDiank tkTo#? I -i>f V\ N Au B ust> 18G2 , th© \>j "HP armies of General and General \I 2®-—J Pop© confronted /CT;- each other on the 1 Rap p ah a nnock 11J B river, in Virginia. 111 General had Iv " determined to at tack Pope, and conceived a plan as brilliant as it was daring. He purposed to leave one half of his army under Longstreet in front of Pope, and throw the other half, under Jackson, by a circuitous march to a point twenty-on© miles ex actly between him and Washington. In pursuance of his plan and to fa cilitate its execution, a day or two be fore Jackson started Lee determined to throw his cavalry, under Stuart, twelve miles in Pope's rear, at Cat lott's Station, a point on th© railroad connecting Pope with his capital. At that place were encamped the reserve, baggage and ammunition trains of Pope's army. There, too, were his personal effects. Stuart cap tured a number of officers and men, a large sum of money in a safe in on© of the tents and dispatches and ether papers, but the rain fell in such tor rents and the night was so dark that "It Was Vacant." it was not possible for Stuart to dam age the railroad to any extent or to burn the railroad bridges or the acres of camp wagons that were there. My command was in advance on that terrible rainy night. 1 was rid ing with the lieutenant commanding the platoon which formed the advance guard, when I suddenly saw, between the flashes of lightning, a man run across th© road. I'nder the influence of the spur my horse in a single bound reached th© man, and under the influence of a pis tol held to his head he told me that he was a servant of General Pope who was there with his headquarters tents, which, lie said, were pitched in a clump of pines close by. I made him get up in front of one of th© troopers and guide a squadron, which I detached from the leading regiment, to the tents in the pines. On reaching the spot 1 quickly sur rounded th© federal headquarters, and. seeing a light in one of the tents. I dis mounted and with one of my men en tered it. It was vacant, but filled with a largo nun\ber of papers, showing where some one had been recently writing. There were also two glasses of toddy on the table. A few days thereafter I captured a squadron of tho Federal dragoons, un der Major Thomas Hit© of the regu lar army, whom I had formerly known when a cadet at West Point. The major said that he and Lewis Marshall, the latter being an aide de camp of Poi>e and a nephew of Gener al were in one of the tents that night and that he had been working all day over his quartermaster papers, and in view of the fact, as well as the tempestuous character of the night, he proposed to Marshall that they should take a drink. "The whisky was brought out," con tinued the major, "sugar was putin glasses with th© proper amount, of wa ter. to which a liberal allbwance of whisky was added. I was just pour ing the toddy from one glass to the other, thinking how soon the situation would be improved by swallowing It, when I heard the noise of horses' hoofs, and the report of on© or two pistol shots. I quickly put the glasses down, saying, 'I believe that is some of that d Confederate cavalry.'" At this point of the narrative th© major paused, and after looking around, added. "Gentlemen, if you be lieve me, I do not know whether I drank than toddy or not. The 'Rebs' were on us so quick that Marshall and I lifted the side of th© tent and rolled down into a friendly ravine, and re mained there shivering In the drench ing rain until they rode off" It only remains to say that Hite and Marshall did not drink the tod dies they mixed, but that they rapidly disappeared down the throats of the two wet Confederates who found t':em. MERNATIONAL SMTSOKE LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department, Tha Moody Bibla In. stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MAY 26. TRUTHFULNESS. LESSON TEXT-Matt. 6:33-37; James 8: (-12. GOLDEN TEUT—"Putting away false nood, speak ye truth each man with his neighbor; for we ara members one of another."—Eph. 4:23. In this lesson Jesus makes a still further application, or rather gives us another illustration of the righteous-' ness of his new kingdom, which must be greater than that taught by tha Pharisees. W© hav© studied the sa cred relations of the righteous lite, now we are to consider th© matter of truth. W© have first a paragraph from Jesus, then an ethical teaching and ap plication from the writings of James th© apostle. Under th© old law men swore by heaven which is God's throne, by tha earth which is his footstool, by Jeru salem which was his peculiar chosen city. They sworo by the head and yet they could ncrt change one hair white or black. Jesus contrasts all of this with his new kingdom In which absolute simple veracity in our speech is all that Is to be required. This makes all oaths profane. When men live in these new relations, with this new consciousness of God they will speak th© truth naturally and of necessity. To such there will be no need for any form of speech or oath, for the simplest, plainest speech will be .♦.he only necessary and the alto gether satisfactory medium of giving and of creating assurance. How about oaths in court? Jesus is speaking to the members of his new kingdom. Be tween them yea and nay is sufficient, but as between them and others we must adjust ourselves and therefor© we do not read into this any admoni tion not to take an oath In court. Should Be Swift to Hear. "Be not many teachers." We now turn to a paragraph from the Epistle of James which has Its peculiar value and interest as showing th© difficulty of mastering the tongue. In tha church of Christ there must of neces sity be a great many giore disciples (learners) than teachers. Every man should be swift to hear, but the posi tion of teacher carries with it such a burden of responsibility that no one should audaciously asssume It, sea Eph. 4:11, etc. With this responsibil ity is also a correspondingly heavier Judgment if we stumble. He that stumbles not In teaching, in the us© of his tongue, is Indeed a perfect man and one that is able to bridle tha whole body; to guide the ship of life, of state, and of the church, amidst the fiercest storms. "Tha tongue is a fire." It is In deed for it inflames with anger tho whole body, th© family, society and the nation. History is ablaze with th© conflagrations that are a consequence of untimely words and of unbridled tongues, Prov. 15:1, etc. The tongue giving utterance to the thoughts of tha heart (for out of the abundance of tho Seart it speaks), will inflame lust, wither purity and consume strength. It fires jealousy and burns the sweet bonds of friendship. It will sever tha ties of home, burn away the founda tions of character, of commercial in tegrity, social purity and destroy the bonds of civic righteousness. It is indeed "a world of iniquity among our members." Let us quote from Dr. K. A. Torrey: "The fires of hell ara kindled by idle words that set men thinking wrong about God and sin and Christ and tho Bible. Men usually careful in handling fire are careless about the tongue. Whence come tha words that inflame the imagination and tho passions? Whence come tha words that undermine faith and tha credibility of the Bible? If any man question James' words that 'the tongua can no man tame' ho has evidently never tried it himself." This does not mean, however, that the tongue can not be tamed, for what is Impossible with man is-possible with God. James draws a frightful picture of tho un tamed tongue and of its evil conse- Ijuences. Profane Men Classified. "These things ought not to be." Mo more can a fountain yield fresQ and salt water at one and the same time, or a fig tree yield olives, than for a Christian to bleBS God and with the same tongue curse his fellow men. Not only is it unkind but it. is un- Chrlstlike. Sarcasm means literally "to tear flesh like dogs," the chari oteer's whip tore the flesh, so we us© the tongue as a lash, biting the sensi tive spirits of men; verily these things "ought not to be." Phillips Brooks said, "Tell me the words a man uses and reproduce his tone of voice and I'll tell what sort of man he Is." It Is a literal fact that the truthful man is he who usually exemplifies all other virtues and w© cannot em phasize too strongly that no gentle man swears. Profane men are of three classes; those who are thought less, those who are ignorant of lan guage and have a paucity of expres sions at their command, and those who use profanity to emphasize a lie, and generally the greater the He the more and stronger the oaths. We must not forget, however, that by our si lence we may bear false witness and that a positive obligation rests upoc us Jx> speak words or pralso. "ONE MILLION LEAGUE FOR MANITOBA." Th© purposes of the"Million for Manitoba I>eague" are set out in the fact that Manitoba wants more peo ple. Today the population Is less than five hundred thousand, and the de termination of the representative men of the Province to devote their best energies to increasing this to a mil lion is a worthy one. There Is already a widespread interest in every munic ipality; committees are appointed, whose duties are to secure such a thorough knowledge of local condi tions that, whether the applicant for information be a laborer for the farm, a would-be tenant, a probable home steader, the buyer of a small Improved farm or the purchaser of a large tract for colonizing farmers, the Informa tion is at hand, free. The advantages that Manitoba pos sesses are many, and with the ex ploitation that will be given them by the birth of this new acquisition to the settlement and immigration prop aganda that Is being carried on by the Dominion Government, there is no doubt that the establishment of the bureau will very soon bring about the results looked for. Manitoba Is prac tically the gateway of the great grain belt of the West. Its farm lands have demonstrated time and again that they have a yielding value that practically makes them worth over on© hundred dollars per acre. Added to the yielding value of the land, there Is an Increased value on account of its nearness to markets, and the mat ter of freight rates Is carefully con sidered by th© cautious buyer. But the information more valuable to the incoming settler is that it still has an immense amount of vacant, fertile land open for homesteads. This dispels the idea that free homesteads in Manitoba are about exhausted. In addition to this, the territory recently added to tho Province will open up a home steading area which when filled should fully satisfy the"Million for Manitoba League." Within the old boundaries there Is an area of 47,360,- 000 acres, less than six million acres of tho 16million acres occupied be ing under cultivation. At present there are over 20 million acres of available land capable of being put under the plough. If In every one of the 195,000 vacant quarter sections of th© Prov ince an average family of four persons were placed, there would be added a rural population of nearly 800.000. So there Is room for additional hundreds of thousands on th© farms of Mani toba, without any possibility of con gestion. Th© population per mil© in lowa Is 39.4, In Minnesota it Is 23.5. That In Manitoba Is only 7.1. A glance at the map, copies of which will be forwarded upon application to any Canadian Government Agent, shows that Manitoba is wonderfully well supplied with railways. There are but few farms that are more than ten or twelve miles from a railway line: elevators are convenient, and markets are always good. The grow ing of grain, while a big feature in the inducements held out, is well re enforced by the great possibilities that exist in all portions of the Province, for the raising of stock, for dairying, for hogs, and for a successful class of mixed farming, and what gives addi tional interest Is tho fact that there is so much land in the Province open for free homesteading that improved farms in almost all of the 9S munici palities can be purchased at very low figures. Many of the owners of these b;ive made sufficient upon which to re tire and are becoming residents of the cities. In addition to the export mar ket for the produce of the farm, Man itoba has a number of large cities and towns providing a splendid local mar ket. Truck and garden farming are highly profitable branches. Winnipeg is a city bordering on 200,000. Bran don is a splendid centre. Portage la Prairie is the hub of an excellent dis trict, and Yorkton, Minnedosa, Dau phin, Morden, Manitou and a dozen other towns are important help as con sumers. The Dominion and Provincial immi gration otlieials are working in strong sympathy with th© "Million for Mani toba League," and in addition to the general literature sent out by the Gov ernment, the League has prepared pamphlets giving useful and concise information, which on addressing the Secretary, Million League, Winnipeg, Manitoba, will be forwarded free.
