One Of the many persons in Columbus,

known, especially in educational circles, as
she has been for q number of years q faithful

For some time she has been very i'll and the
sufferings and fortunes endured by her for
months have been unusually severe.
The tale of her sufferings and the subse-
from the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, aroused considerable agitation
among her many friends end others.
A reporter was detailed to obtain a relia-
BILE account of this marvellous case, and when

UNCLE salts CONSCIENCE FUND.
The Identity Of Atoning EvII-Doers Is Usually
Concealed.

"The people sending money to the
Conscience Fund of the United States
Treasury are not known" writes
Clifford Howard in the June Ladies'
Home Journal. "They never pre-
sent themselves at the Treasury,
and they take care to conceal their
identity by making their contribu-
tiOns anonymously or under assumed
names. In IA great many Instances
the contribution il made through a
minister or priest, which is done,
perhaps, for the effect of not only
more surely hiding the identity of the
penitent, but OF adding sanctity to
his contribution. Others again make
their peace offerings through friends
or relatives, and ever jailers some
times perform this duty for
full criminals. AS a further precau-
ton against discovery many of these
people endeavor to disguise their
handwriting, or have their commun-
%ications written on the typewriter,
while not a few forward their money
without a line or word of writing.
1t is always taken for granted that
such remittances are intended for the
conscience fund, rs it is reasonable
to presume that no one would send
money in that loose fashion unless il
were for the purpose of expiating
some secret crime against the Gov
eminent.
Occasionally some one will remit
by check or m~oney-order, in which
case, of course, his name becomes
known; and once in n great while
some man will have the courage to
to deliberately confess his guilt and
sign his name to the communication;
but such instances are rare, for there
appears to be a general lear among
these contrite people that, although
they clear their consciences by max
ing reparation to the Government,
the law may still have the right to
lay hold on them for their misdeeds.'

First Lady Of the Land.

Mrs. Mckinley, as she appears to
the people of Washington, is asweet-
faced lady of medium height, with
figure neither slender nor stout,
bright, expressive blue eyes, soft gray
curls, which are short and parted in
the middle, being held in place by
ieweled side combs. Here smile is of
rare sweetness, and only by a slight
tinge of pallor does her lace suggest
a hint OF poor health. She Is not
nearly SO much of an invalid as many
people suppose, and though she
usually carries with her a slender
gold headed cane, it is very rarely
used. Mrs. Mckinley dresses in ex-
cellent taste and always wears close
fitting garments, even at the break
fast table, as ALPHABETICALLY dis
likes tea gowns or negligee OF any
sort. One of her favorite gowns is a
royal blue velvet, made in princess
style and finished at b wrists and
throat with ruffies OF point lace.
