pears that for years she has had an
overwhelming desire TO be a man. The
impulse to see the world as man sees
1t grew upon her to such an extent that
she finally decided to leave home She
secreted a suit Of her brothers clothes
in the woodshed. and soon after noon
on March "a she slipped quietly into
the shed and put on masculine attire.
Then she walked calmly out of the yard
in front of her home to the road Lead
Ing to kiamensl station on the 1BsftI-
more Ohio railroad. 1t Was then
about 1880 o'clock in the afternoon.
She followed the trackszDfrce miles

In both OF those places she has relatives.
After her arrival in the Windy City
she was at loss TO know where to lay
her head She was afraid to go to
lodging-house, so she concluded to walk
the streets rather than run the risk OF
being detected. For two nights she
tramped the sidewalks OF Chicago be-
fore finding a place OF shelter. At last
she found big lumber yard near the
lake. and there she spent FIVE nights
among the piles OF lumber What little
food she ate during this time she pur-
chased at cheap restaurants. In all of

A Book for Young Men.

An Unreasonable amount of suffering
and injury to the human race, is due to
the ignorant violation of physiological
laws by the youth of our land. Ruinous
practices are INDUCED in, through ig-
norance of the inevitable injury to con-
stitution and health which surely fol-
lows. By every Young man, the divine
injunction, "Know Thyself," should be
well needed. To assist such in acquiring
a knowledge of themselves and of how
to preserve health, and to shun those
pernicious and most destructive prac-
tees, to which so many fall victims, as
we'll as to reclaim and point out the
means of relief and cure to any who may
unwittingly have violated Natures laws,
and are already suffering the dire con-
sequences, an association OF medical
gentlemen have carefully prepared a
little book which is replete with useful
information to every young man. 1t
will be sent to any address, securely
sealed from observation in a plain en-
velope, by the Worlds Dispensary Medi-
Cal Association of 663 Main Street,
Buffalo, N. Y, on receipt of ten cents in
stamps (for postage), if enclosed with
this notice.
