WOMEN Are

The Experience of Two Women who had Led ar Indoor
Life and the Outcome.

From the Standard Union, Brook'yn' v. J.
Few women have had more miserable ex
istence and lived 10 tell the tale than Mr..
Anna l.. Smith. Of 81 Pulaski Avenue,
Brooklyn. With all the comforts that money
affords, with all the happiness thst many
loving friends can give, the JOY Of Mr..
Smiths life was blasted for years by the ter
rible ravages of sickness. Mrs. Smiths ex-
perience is unique because her suffering was
not caused by one disease only but 10y many;
until it seemed as though she was living
sacrifice. Doctors were employed, money was
spent-the wide world was searched for
remedies that would give her the joy Of good
health. Despite all efforts the CLOUDS Of life
grew darker until it looked indeed as if
death was lowering near. 1t was in this hour
of distress that She heard Oft the now famous
remedy-Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. and by their virtues was restored 10
good health and happiness. The story IS
most interesting as told TO reporter:

with one complaint and then with another.

Her Story l. Very Ancient and Appears
In sacred Hindoo Books.
The story of Cinderella Is substantial
" the same as that told Of RhOd0pls
and Psammitichus by Elan, who lived
in Rome in the third century Of the
Christian era. The story, as told by
Elan, is that while Rhodopis was bath
ing. an eagle carried away one of her
sandals and dropped ii near the feet OF
Psammitichus, king Of Egypt, who, like
Cinderella's prince, was struck by IT'S
dilninutive size, caused the maiden TO
be sought for, and married her when
found. AXE the sandal glass slipper
and add the ugly sisters for the sake OF
contrast, and the storie, are much the
same. The glass slipper, by the way, Is
an acknowledged fiction, being in real
ity "a nistranslatlon Of "pantOufie IN

Interesting Washing.
An amusing little story is told in con.
nection with French journalist, who
in his Early days as reporter had
deeply rooted aversion 10 the regulation
notebook Of his order, and hit upon a
method Of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them. by the aid Of tiny pencil
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts Of places, unobserved by
those around him.
AT first his laundress was greatly puz-
zled by these peculiar concentrations,
but as time went on she learned 70 de-
cipher many of them, and gathered the
news Of the week from her patrons
cuffs, much TO her delight.
One night, when she took home the
washing, the journalist CHANGED TO be
coming out of his room SIS she entered.
"Ah, monsieur, she said, dropping
courtesy, your last washing was very
interesting, but we had less political
news than the week before. Is 1t not sot"
