NAEKENS write Mrs. Pinkham for
advice during the last few months.
Think what volume of experience
she has to draw from! No physician
living ever treated SO many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her a woman
full of sympathy, with great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need, she will
frankly tell you SO, and there arc nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not
take advantage of this generous offer
of assistance.
Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases oqualled that at
tanned by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound, and never in the
history of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful
Compound has the demand for it been
SO great as it is to-day.

How They Enjoy Life In . Prison In ths
MarquesaA-
That ''the French are q GOOD natured
people and make easy masters was
Robert Louis Stevenson's conclusion
when he had studied the various pro-
tc%ctorates that serve for governments in
the south sea islands. The Marquesas
group, for instance, is under French
control. Mr.. Stevenson tells in ''In the
South Seas how he visited the Gala
boose at Tni-o-bae-the port Of entry
and found it empty.
From this noontide Quietude it must
not be supposed the prison was unten-
anted. The calaboose at Tai-o-hae does
a good business. But some of its occu-
pants were gardening at the r%esidency,
and the rest were probably at work up.
on the streets, as free a. our scavengers
at home, although not SO industrious.
On the approach of evening they
would be called in like children from
play, and the harbOr master, who is al
so the jailer, would go through the
form Of locking them up until 8 the
next morning.
Should a prisoner have any call in
town, whether Of pleasure or affairs, he
has but to unlock the window shutter,
and if he is back again and the shutter
decently replaced by the hour Of call on
the morrow-he may have met the har-
Dor master in the avenue-there will be
no complaint, far less any punishment.
But this il not all. The charming
French resident, NJ. Delarnelle, carried
me Il day to the oalaboose on an Off.
cial visit. In the green court a very rag.
ged gentleman. his legs defornled with
tho island ~elephantiasis. saluted US,
smiling.
"One of our political prisoners-an
insurgent from Raiatea," said the resi-.
dent, and hen to the jailer. II thought
l had ordered him a new pair Of trou.
sers?'
Meanwhile no other convict was to
be seen.
"Well," said the resident, "where
are our ~prisoners?'
Monsieur the Resident" replied
tho jailer, saluting with soldierly for
mality, "as this is q feast day I let
them go to the chase" They were all
upon the mountains hunting goats.
Presently we cams to the quarters Of
the women, likewise deserted.
where are our good ladies?" asked
the resident, and the jailer cheerfully
responded, II think, monsieur, that
they have gone somewhere TO make a
visit"
1t had been the design Of M. Delar.
nellie, who was much in love with the
whimsicalities Of his small realm, to
elicit something oomical, but not even
he expected anything so perfect as the
last.
To complete the picture Of convict
life in Tai-o-hae, it remains to be add
ed that these criminals draw q salary
as regularly as the president Of the re-
public. Ten o a day 10 their hire.
Thus they have money, food, shelter,
clothing, and, I was about to write.

Senator shoup of Idaho introduced

Senator Shoup of Idaho introduced a
bill forbidding the further issue of pa
per currency of a less denomination
than $40. 1t provides that no national
bank note, United States legal tender
note, certificate of deposit. silver certi-
ficate or paper currency OF any kind of
less denomination than SO should be
issued by the treasury Of the United
States. and the secretary is directed
that whenever and as often as such
notes shall be received by the treas
urer or assistant treasurer for duties
or for redemption, the same shall be
cancelled. 1t provides, however, that
nothing in the bill shall be construed
to reduce the amount of legal tenders
now authorized by law. Senator Shoup
is an advocate of free coinage, and be-
lieves something may DO done at the
present session to promote the inter-
est Of the white metal. The bill intro
duced today is intended to bring silver
dollars and subsidiary fractional coins
into more general use and thus ac-
custom the people to it.
