I Consider This Advice.
No woman should submit to a surgl.
cal operation, which may mean death,
until Bhe has given Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigoratorof
the female organism. Women resid.
lng In almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing test!,
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It cures female ills, and creates radi
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it a trial.
Mrs! Pinklmm, at Lynn, Mass.,
Invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice Is free,
and always helpful.

"Dear, you are a wonder!"
"Do you think so, really, darling?"
"I certainly do. Scientists have

Easy for Her.
An extremely corpulent old lady was
entertaining her grandchild at lunch
con when she found occasion to repri
mand the little gl.'l for dropping some
food on the tablecloth.
"You don't see grandma dropping
anything on the bible," she said.
"Of course not," replied the child;
"God gave you something in front to
top it"

It seems as though women's styles
change so often merely to keep men's

Wild West Outdone
NEW YORK. The wild west was
once the home of most that was
romantic and daring in crime. To
day it is superseded by the wild east
by New York city Itself. Crimes are
being committed here which for dar
ing and unwontedness can scarcely
be surpassed even by the most ima
ginative of writers of fiction.
A few weeks ago, up the river in
the neighborhood of Hudson, there
was a hold-up such as Deadwood
Gulch or Coyote Canyon never sur
passed. A paymaster and his guard re
turning from a bank with $5,000 to
pay off the laborers In a brickyard
were held up and shot to death within
a few hundred yards of their office,
and' to this day not one of the assas
sins has been captured and not the
slightest light has been thrown on
the tragedy.
Recently in West Forty-seventh
street there was a duel between two
parties of men. Kach of them was in
a big touring car and they maneu
vered up and down the street ex
changing shots like two battleships in
action. There was another duel be
tween two automobile parties on Seventy-second
street a ccuplo of even
ings later.
Not long ago, one afternoon when
Broadway was crowded, a gambler
stood in front of one of the best
known of New York's theaters and
Bring Rare Antiquities From Egypt
BOSTON. The Egypt exploration
fund of England and the United
States has forwarded to Its headquar
ters in Tremont Temple a valuable
consignment of antiquities to be di
vided among museums contributing to
the society's excavations In Egypt.
These objects were displayed In
King's College, London, and represent
the result of last winter's work con
ducted at Abydos, Ehnasiya and Sid
mant. Abydos has proved an especially
valuable site for exploration. Here
Osiris and Isia had their chief altars,
to which offerings were brought from
the farthest borders of Egypt during
the period of centuries from the
twenty-eighth to the thirtieth dynas
ties. The main work, which was carried
on under the general direction of J

ISLOT AND
GET A TON
Or COAL
CINCINNATI, O. The corner gro
cery store In the crowded tene
ment sections of great cities In the
United States will be crowded out by
automatic grocery stores if the forma
tion of a great corporation to install
slot machine stores in congested dis
tricts proves a success.
Rev. H. E. -Robbing of New York
city, who came here to attend the
general Episcopal convention, has re
cently been appointed chairman of
the committee of 60 business men
and philanthropists who will direct
the placing of the stores.
Automatic lunchrooms, though not
new, form another side of the project.
The company- has already contracted
with the Baldwin Locomotive Works

Women to Pit Salon Against Jackpot
CHICAGO. The "Jackpot" Is to be
supplanted by the "salon" at
Springfield. Tea and wafers are to
vie with the stronger stimulants
which have been Inseparable from leg
islative lobbying before. Pretty girls
will pit their skill against that of cor
poration lawyers and saloon keep
ers. Feminine methods are to be intro
duced into political wire pulling and
those who are familiar with the In'
ternal politics of women's clubs pre
dict that eve$rthe most practical poli
tician will bj'fn something new.
The invasion was decided upon at
a meeting of the Political Equality
League in the rooms of the Chicago
Woman's club upon suggestion of Mrs.
in New York City
engaged in a pistol duel with another
whom he claimed had wronged him.
The aggressor was the poorer marks
man and was filled with lead. Half
an hour later the sidewalk had been
scrubbed up and was dry and dusty
again, and the surging crowds gave
as little comment to the affray as the
border men used to when a man was
killed over a game of cards In Abilene
or Dodge or any other of those roar
ing cities of the cow country a quar
ter of a century ago.
One of the most daring deeds In the
history of the metropolis was that
performed by Myles McDonnell. He
walked Into a saloon, where he knew
n lot of hla enemies were waiting to
kill him. The minute he stepped Jn
side the door three or four of his foes
opened Are on him. He drew his pis
tol without batting an eye and an
swered shot for shot. The doctors of
the Harlem hospital were busy for
several days thereafter attending to
the dead and wounded. McDonnell
killed two and seriously Injured three
or four others. He himself got off
without a scratch.
New York today has . the greatest
clearing house for thieves in the
world. It is there that congregate the
transatlantic robbers, men who work
the ocean greyhounds. After each
round trip they meet at this rendez
vous and divide their spoil. There
also assemble the master thieves, the
big robbers, the clever men who steal
by brains as well as by force.. They
are the safe blowers, the crack second-story
men, the .cleverest of forg
ers who steal with pen and ink, the
kings and princes of the wireless wire
tapping and gold brick Industry, the
big swindlers in fake mining schemes.

much still remains to be done at this

from the continuation of the work
next season. From these excavations

ornaments of glaze, wood, stone, car

"The melancholy days have coma" 'tis
well that he who penned
The poem which begins that way long
since came to his end.
The melancholy. days, forsooth! Th ap
ples In the bin,
Ths grapes that are so full of Juice It
nearly bursts their skin.
The pawpaws growing; greenish-brown
and fat as butter-balls,
The black-haw plumping till at last from
sheer delight It falls!
"The melancholy days?" O, sniff the
ambient atmosphere
And get the scent the Jocund breeze Is
wafting to us here
The pungent splclness and tang that
woos belated bees
And tells us that somewhere today be
neath the orchard trees
A copper kettle bubbles full of apple but

What kind of man could say this Is a
melancholy day?
O, let us weep because the gorgeous
pumpkin waxes fat!
There Is a world of sadness In the very
- thought of that.
Full soon we'll bring the pumpkin In
end cut It Into dice
And put It on the stove and boll It maybe
once or twice.
Then later on we'll sit about the groaning
board end sigh
Because we lack capacity to eat the
whole big pie!
How sad It Is to contemplate the chang
ing of the year,
To see the leaves upon the trees grow
siiriveny ana sere!
How gloomy Just to sit and think of
turkeys getting big-
How can some people nowadays be
merry as a grig?
O, It Alls one' soul with woe and gets
upon nis nerves
To think of all the shelves that now are
fun or good preserves! ,
The melancholy aya have come" O, see
these bitter tears!
The Joyous hour for mincemeat pie with

O, let the wintry bllziards blow, and
fetch your killing frost.
But bring the mincemeat season and the
world Is not yet lost.

Music.
The late Mr. Shakespeare said some
severe things about the man who has
no music in his soul and Is not moved
by concord of sweet sounds.
In his day and time Mr. Shakespeare
was doubtless right.
Mr. Shakespeare never heard a
campaign band. No bannered wagons
uuca wnn tuDa aim cornet players
ever rolled through the streets of Mr.
Shakespeare's town, playing by rule
of thumb while the banuers exhorted
the terrified hearers to vote for the
people's friend.
Mr. Shakespeare never heard Gladys
Montmorency play the piano after she
had spent a year away from home at
a finishing school and had failed to
get ber finish. . ,
If Shakespeare had beard Gladys
play and had realized that so far all
she had gleaned from the field of har
mony was the art of crossing her
hands while rendering Old Black Joe
with variations he might have writ
ten a revision of his verdict.
Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast, perhaps, but there are
times when it occasions the savagery
In the breast.
Another indictment against music Is
that so often attempts are made to
combine It with verseB ending "And
then to his old mother he did say,"
thus combining the two in a popular
song of the day.
Sensational to the Extreme.
"Yes, I'm going to start a new mag
azine," Bays the 'man with the fat
purse, "but there won't be the least
bit of sensationalism about It It will
be utterly different from all others."
"What's your program?" asks the
man with inked fingers.
"Not going to expose anything, not
going to "
"Huh! Right there you've outlined
one of the most sensational plans for
modern magazines I ever heard."

"Here comes that German count. I
wonder if he will propose again, or If
he has been discouraged by my hold

was that I had to have time to teach
dear, little Fldo to say Yah.' "
