al individual, for he was in many re-
spects a desirable party, and had educa-
ton, wealth, social position and refine
ment, but the palace car millionaire
had declared all along he would have
law, and Emperor Joseph's nephew
went home without a bride. Since then
other suitors have come and gone, but
none found encouragement from either
Mi1s Pullman or her father until sturdy
Frank o. Lowden, attorney-at-law from
Iowa, appeared upon the scene.
frank o. Lowden is about IS years
of age, and has thus far made his own
way in the world. His father is a pros
porous farmer in the Hawkeye state,
and still works the acres Of the home
stead on which Frank was born. The
boy had a common school education in
the local academies, and followed this
with a course at the Iowa state uriver-
sity, after which he read law. Ten
years ago he came to Chicago and
tered the Office of Writ Dexter, then one
Of the most famous lawyers in the
west. Mr.. Dexter was quick to dis
Germ young Lowden's merit and pushed
him to the front in his large corpora
ton practice, to much of which he sue
ceeded at Dexter's death. In this way
MI. Lowden got an extensive and valu-
able practice among business men and
secured a profitable law business. He
is a man of great natural force, and
his character is stamped in sturdy,
Ieonine features. While holding mem-
berships in a number of the best Chi
cago clubs, Mr.. Lowden has never been
active in that circle, and is wholly UNI

leaders in the swell set making the re-
mark last week that she could not re-
call ever having seen him at a social
function of any note. just how he
met Miss Pullman is not known, but
he made his first call at her home a year
ago, and at once established himself in
the favor Of the heiress and of her
parents. Their welcome of the young
attorney was a hearty one, and he has
been a constant and well-received suit
ever since, much to the disgust of
several bowling young swells with
atrophied bank accounts.

Few women have had q more mis-
cradle existence and lived to tell the
tale than Mrs. Anna +. Smith Of 311
Pulaski Avenue. Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that none affords, with
ell the happiness that many loving
friends q give. the JOY Of Mrs.
Smiths life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages OF sickness. The
story Is most interesting as told to a
reporter:
II was an invalid for years. suffering
nrst with one complaint and then with
another. The thing which caused me
the most discomfort andSmade me Of
fensive to my family was the worst
case Of indigestion imaginable. I had
the best physician we could find, and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and
misery would all soon return again.
/ became desperate, and started in to
try remedies OF which / read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. I took the
pills and followed out the direc-
lions to the letter, and before
many days 1 began to feel like a differ
ent roman For six weeks I took the
pills regularly. and I can truthfully
add after that / was as well any one
In the family. This change for. the bet
ter in my condition has caused my
relatives and friends to take the pills.
We buy them from the drug store of
John Duryea, at the corner Of DeKalb
and Sumner Avenues.
II assure you 1t was impossible for
me to oversee my household for three
years. Now I visit my kitchen every
day, do my own marketing and shop
ping; in a word. look after everything
connected with my home and family.
"Oh. yes, / still keep taking the pills.
I take one daily after dinner. Preven-
ton, you know, is better and cheaper
than cure. I verify believe one half
Of the women who are suffering from
the ills which our sex are heir to would
be up and well IL they could be In
duced to give the Pink Pills a fair trial.
l certainly recommend them heartily
n and feel grateful to the physician
who put them on the market"
Mrs. Smith is a woman Of some
means and standing in the community
and, therefore, her testimony will be
accepted without question by all
thoughtful people.
