A BATTLE ROYAL. MISS ROSE MOORE Women Avoid Operations When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an oper atiop la pecessary, it, of course, frightens her. The very thoupht of thehospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troub les may reach a stage where on ope ration is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after an operation has been decided unon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as evidenced by Miss Rose Moore's ease, of 307 W. 26th St.. N.Y. Khe wntes:- Dear Mrs. Plnkham:-"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. I doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble and I am now in better health than I have been for many years. This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Ly dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn, MaRS. From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. What, In Kentucky?

Blackstone tersely says that land hath in its legal significance an inde finite extent upward as well as down ward. The title to the landholder ex tends to the center of the earth and to the zenith. The sovereignty of a nation Is similarly extended, and it ap pears that the assertion of national jurisdiction over the upper regions is becoming a matter of some import ance in view of the recent develop ment of aerial navigation. The Neth erlands parliament has been consid ering a curious bill, which, if passed will forbid any airship from landing on the territory of the Low Countries tinder a heavy penalty. An amusing feature of the bill is the provision that any airship maneuvering over Hol land must instantly comply with the signals made to it from below and come down1 in order that the pilot may be punished. If the trespassing aerial navigators nre imprudent enough to desecend Bomewhere else in the coun- ry, the Sentence will be greatly in- reased. Philadelphia Ledger. Copper Business in Japan. Japarf Is the largest copper pro ducing country of the Far East, but as yet her output (1905) is only one fifteenth of the total production of the world. The output rose from 23,899 tons in 1S99 to 36,000 tons in 1965. Copper mining is nt present one of Japan's weak points, the operations being conducted without method. Her home consumption is about 7,000 a year. How Chinese Treat the Insane. In China, if a member of the house hold becomes Insane and troublesome the common custom is to chain that person to a post or to a heavy Btone when in the house.

How Stallion and Buck Fought Blind' ly to the Death. At about 2 o'clock In the morning, at that mystic hour when nature seems to Bend a message to all her animate ehlldren, preparing them for the advent of dawn, the white stal lion got up, shook himself, stepped Boftly down to the brook's edge for a drink, and then fell to cropping the grass wherever It remained green. The forest, though to a careless ear It might have seemed as silent as be fore, had In reality stirred to a sud den, ephemeral life. Far off, from some high reck, a she fox barked sharply. Faint, muffled chirps from the thick bushes told of Junkos and chickadees waking up to see If n!1 was well In the world. The mice set up a scurrying in the grass. And presently a high-antlered buck stepped out of the shadows and start ed across the open toward the brook The dark buck, himself a moving shadow, saw the stallion first, and stopped with a loud snort of astonish ment and defiance. The stallion wheeled about, eyed the Intruder for a moment doubtfully, then trotted up with a whinny of pleased interroga tion. He had no dread of the antlcred visitor, but rather a hope of compan ionship In the vast and overpowering loneliness of the alien night. The buck, however, was in anything but a friendly mood. His veins aflame with the arrogant pugnacity of the ratting season, he saw in the white stranger only a possible rival, and grew hot with. rage at his ap proach. With an Impatient stamping of his slim fore-hoofs he gave chal lenge. But to the stallion this was an Unknown language. Innocently he came up, his nose stretched out la question, till he was within a few feet of the motionless buolt. Then, to his astonishment, the latter bounced sud denly aside like a ball, stood straight up on his hind legs, and struck at him like lightning with those keen edged, Blim fore-hoofs. It was a sav age assault, and , two long, red fur rows one longer and deeper than the other appeared on the stallion's silky, white flank. In that instant the wanderer's friendliness vanished, and an aveng ing fury took its place. His confidence had been cruelly betrayed. With a harsh squeal, his mouth wide open, and lips drawn back from his formid able teeth, he sprang at his assailant. But the buck had no vain idea of standing up against this whirlwind of wrath which he had evoked. He dounded aside, lightly hut hurriedly, and watched for an opportunity to re peat his attack. The stallion, however, was not to be caught again; and the dashing fero city of his rushes kept his adversary ceaselessly on the move, bounding in to the air and leaping aside to avoid thoso disastrous teeth. The buck was awaiting what he felt sure would come, the chance to strike again; and his oonfldence in his own supreme agility kept him from any apprehen sion as to the outcome of the fight. But the buck's great weakness lay In his ignorance, his insufficient knowledge of the game he was play ing. He had no Idea that his rushing white antagonist had any otter tac tics at command. When he gave way, therefore, he went Just far enough to escape the stallion's teeth and batter Ing fore-feet The stallion, on the oth er hand, soon realized tbe futility of his present method ot attack against so nimble an adversary. On his next rush, therefore, Just as tho buck bounced aside, he wheeled in a short half circle, and lashed out high and far with his steel-shod heels. The buck was Just within the most dead ly range of the blow. He caught the terrific Impact on the base of the neck and the forward point of the shoulder and went down as if an explosive bul let had struck him. Before he could even stir to rise the stallion was up on him, trampling, battering, squeal ing, biting madly; and the fight was done. When the wanderer had spent bis vengeance, and paused, snorting and wild-eyed, to take breath, he looked down upon a mangled shape that no longer struggled or stirred or even breathed. Then the last of his righteous fury faded out The sight anil smell of the blood sickened him, and In a kind of terror he turned away. For a few hesitating moments he stared about his little retreat and then, finding It had grown hateful tc him, he forsook It and pushed onward on the edge of the stream, between the black, Impending walls of the for estFrom Charles D. G. Roberts's "A Stranger to the Wild" In the Century. Grudge Against Columbus. The late Bishop McCabe related the Mowing story about an incident in which he participated: "Once upon a time I was in a rail road accident. It was one of the only two I have ever experienced, and I have travelled more than 750,000 miles on trains and steamers. A broken wheel threw the train o3 the track. Behind us as we left the car came a noble-looking English woman with her husband by her side. She was scold ing him well for starting on their Journey on Friday. " 'I told you, James,' she said, 'that something would happen if we should start on Friday.' " 'Madam,' said I, 'do you know that Columbus set sail to discover Ameri ca on Friday."

Ad rocate y4 The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way , The Value and Importance o! Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and o! Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

Fedro Alvarado, whom the smile of fortune converted in a few years from a 60-cents-a-dny miner to the Croesus of the Mexican Republic, now propos es to become a promoter of peace, since his ofter to pay the national debt of Mexico was declined. His plan, however, differs astonishingly from that of the American millionaire who contributes his mite to the Hague Peace Tribunal.

He oilers 10,000,000, or $20,000,000, it need be to recruit and maintain a special army to exterminate tho YaquI Indians. He has been led by President Diaz's dec laration that he would die happy if he knew his country were free of its bloodthirsty enemies to ask that he be permitted to pay the cost of such a war of extermination or subjugation, in which the Mexican Rurales have failed.

At a dinner we gave, doctor suggested that we servo Pos tum Instead of ordinary coffee. "Doctor's brother, a clergyman, supposed It was old fashioned coffee and remarked, as he called for hit second cup, 'If you do preach against coffee I see you haven't forgotten how to make It.'
