An Interesting story Told Under Elm
 barrassing Circumstances.
 From the Express, Los ARgeles, CdItvrHia.
 The interviewer's lines sometimes fall ill queer places. People who are to be talked to may be ill all sorts of conditions and frames, of mind, but one cannot conceive a much more en- barrassing thing for all parties con- cerned than an assignment to inter- view a mother of two-days' old in- fant. Some things are too sacred for even the callous newspaper man to lightly ignore. But Mrs. c. c. Reeder had story to tell and this paper wanted that story. The baby was asleep, and the mother expressed her suitability, so the reporter was ushered into the room.
 Mrs. Reeder used to be Johanna Rinker, and lived for several years at Riverside, Cal. She was a domestic and worked very hard. Perhaps it was the toll, perhaps the climate. at all events she fell sick. Doctors and medicines did her no good. Her appe- tite vanished. Sleep eluded her at night, always and eyer that dreadful feeling of lassitude and depression, 50 familiar to women, made itself appar- ent to her. And then she began 10 imagine things I9e night while driving across A bridge that she knew perfectly well was there, she cried out in fright because she could see nothing. The doctors might call this insanity, but until tie Authorizations and delu- sions grow to be a menace to life or peace, not much heed is paid to the imaginings of weakly girls.
 Last spring Mrs. Reeder, for she had married in the meantime, concluded to visit her old home at Daleville, Ind. , and it was while there that her mother, Mrs. Caroline Leaser, told her of the wonderful properties of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Mrs. Ree6er began to take them. When she started in she could not walk the three-qua1ters of mile to the post office, she was so weak. In about three weeks she took, according to direc- tlons, about five boxes of the pills, and at the expiation of that time could go down into town and come back and dc big day washing over the tub at home. Her blood came back into the pale cheeks, sleep once again refreshed her at night, the cold sweats left, and she could est and enjoy all the pleas ures and diversions of life where before she had been averse to society and amusements of all kinds. The awful notions an6 Authorizations left her, her brain agaiI resumed its normal func- tions. From that time to now she has taken no medicine and she is we'll in all respects.
 ''See my baby, God bless its heart." said the proud mother. ''It is as strong and healthy as any baby ever born. It weighed nine pounds As it lay there, its little pink fists clenched over its thumbs. its little eyes puckered up in sleep bundle of pink, ,satiny in- fantile loveliness, there could be little doubt of the physical health of it's par ents.
 Mrs. Reeder lives at a cottage num- ho-.oA AO7i< T--s-.,, -t,.oo+ ~c Angeles, Cal, and tie last words she said were: "Oh, yoa are perfectly e1- cusable. l am just as glad to endorse Dr. Williams Pink Fills as you can possibly be to hear my story. If all suffering women only knew their power and good, there would be less sickness and misery in the world, I'm sure. Good-bye."
