As she recalled the past, and tried to
penetrate the future, a smile of supreme
satisfaction passed over her honest face
as she remembered that her life's work
would be perpetuated.
The room in which she sat contained
hundreds of volumes of records; and,
turning to her daughter, she said, =
MY daughter, this rooEn, as you well
know, contains the records of my life's
work, in which for many years you lave
90 diligently assisted me.
by earnest application you have CON-
passed my methods; and it is happi-
ness to think that when / leave, the
glorious work will, through you, 60 on.
|" The mission is noble one. Do as
have done: never permit woman's ap-
peal TO go ,inheeded.
"These records tell of every case ever
submitted to me; ard it is my wish that
the facts they contain shall in time prove
q much-needed education to the women
of the world"
Thus did Lydia f. Pinkham hand over
to her daughter, Mrs. Charles III. Pink
ham, what may be termed the salvation
of her sex; and that wonderful remedy,
Lydia f. PinkkdB.'s Vegetable Com
pound, which all druggists consider as
standard as -four, goes on redeeming
hundreds of women from the fearful
consequences of female diseases.

In the person OF old Pomp, the colored
porter Of the College hall, tho University
of Pennsylvania fosters one of the most
unique characters employed about any of

has served tho university rs a porter since
1854, and his official connection with the
institution has been longer than any other
n individual Ia the train of old Penn.
as n consequence, the faithful, good ma
tured darky enjoys privileges extended 20
no other person connected with the uni
verslty. Even Provost Harrison bows with
no small Difference TO Pomp, and tho pro-
fcssors and students obey his mandates
and respect his wishes. Pomp carries his
importance with we'll assumed dignity,
and Is the special pride Of hundreds OF tho
students and alumni of the big school. He
is widely known by reason of his foghorn
voice, which has coached tho various ath-
letic cams on TO many victories. --Phila-

Tho jury retired about the middle Of
the day to consider the case, and ! went
home 20 dinner.
"As / came down toward the courthouse
after dinner I met a mulatto fellow had
seen lettering about the court, and asked
him IL tho jury had rendered a verdict in
