Hall's Pond.
TUCKER PICNIC.

How beautiful thou art oh pond with
thy broad eXpanse lined on thy banks
with evergreens and beautiful foliage,
dotted here and there with coy little
cottages, among which we hear the names
of Camp PinetOn, Camp CrusOe, Camp
Five Oaks and others, were the thoughts
OF all and the expressions of many as
with united heart and voice many from
far and near of the Tucker family met to
enjoy a days reunion at thy side
Thursday. Sept. 7rh, was an ideal day.
Who can describe such an one? The sun
came up and threw its warm shining light
upon mother earth with such radience as
to make everything and everybody full of
life and good spirits. As the sun mount
ed higher and higher it gradually became
overcast so that neither a paraSOl nor the
friendly branches of the pine were need
ed to keep one cool or from the maiden's
horror of getting tanned.

After dinner four large boats took the

stops on the way where photographs were
taken by Mr.. Horace Thomas Many

day well spent. No accidents happened
to mar the pleasure of the day. The only

benches at dinner time, which caused
some little delay on the part of some in
making repairs; but the time was fully
made up when again elevated Also one

Chi1dren's Health Fond.

The Children's Health Fund are now
commencing upon their fall work of aid
ing poor, sickly and neglected children.
The organization strives to aid all deserv-
ing cases. The work is nOn-sectarian,
and is supported solely by voluntary con-
tributors. The fund has aided over $500
cases since June /, 1894. 1t has establish
ed a temporary home known as "Chil-
drens Rest" Junction Amherst and
Brandon streets, Boston, Mass. Here it
cares for little ones entirely destitute,
who are found naked and hungry, some
not tasting food for several days. These
children are cared for till homes are pro-
vided.
This Home is only branch of the work
reached by the organization. 1t aids
little ones in every way. Children are
taken to the Rest from everywhere when
occasion requires. Hundreds of little
ones were unalded last fall and winter be-
cause the Fund had not the money to buy
food, fuel and clothing for those in need.
We hope such will not be the case this
year. One dollar furnishes food one
week for little one.
Kind readers, those of you who have
enough of this worlds goods, think a
moment of the little ones that are desti-
tute, not brought on by any fault of their
own and if possible send donation of
money, vegetables, clothing, or goods of
any kind. Also if you are thinking of
taking child write to the Trustees of
the Organization. They have boys and
girls from to Is years of age needing
good christian homes.
In writing to the Organization address

A Good Thing
For Women to Remember.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with a woman - a
woman whose experience in treating
woman'S ills is greater than that of any
living physician-male or female.
woman can talk freely to woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to a man-besides, man does
not understand-simply because he is a
man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
along from bad TO worse, knowing full
well that they should have immediate as
SiStance, but a natural modeSty impels
them to shrink from exposing themselves
to the questions and probably eXamina-
tionS of even their family physician, 1t
is unnecessary. Without money or price
they can consult woman, whose knOwl-
edge from actual experience is greater
than any local physician living.
The following invitation is freely offer
ed accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to freely COM
municate with Mrs Pinkmam at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only, thus
dence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never been
broken and has induced more than 1OO,
900 sufferers to write her for advice dur
ing the last four months. Out of the
vast volume of experience which she has
to draw from, it is more than possible that
she has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her adj
vice has relieved thousands. Surely any
woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she
does not take advantage of this generous
offer OF assiStance-Lydia L. Pinkham
