About six years ago my wife became afflicted
with female weakness" writes the Rev. l. j.
Coppedge. of Elmo. Kaufman County, Texas
She could not md on her feet or get IN any
position in which she did not suffer great pain.
She naturally strong woman ! had
several physicians to treat her without any per-
uIaneut relief. She despaired of ever again be-
ing well. She saw an advertisement of your
Favorite Prescription and spoke to me about

"The girl has an uncomfortable temper"

"The girl has an uncomfortable temper, J"
said Mrs Gotch. Il really don't know
what we shall do with her when poor dear
uncle is taken from us. She won't even
purely out of spite-close the door after her"
And she slammed it, regardless of the sick
man upstairs.
She put a number of trivial questions
about her uncle. While she was still talk
ing the hall door opened hastily, and a short,
stout, unpleasant-ooking man, hat in hand,
came into the drawing-roOm. His face was
flushed. In his nose l traced family re-
semblance to Mr.. Bond.
How is dear uncle now?" he asked.
This is the doctor, suppose? have just
been TO see the family lawyer" he explained,
but, unfortunately. he is always on holi-
day Uncle is very anxious to make his
will
. He has made it," said shortly.
You don't say SOL" he exclaimed. Pm
glad TO hear it. Poor dear uncle WON'T have
that on his conscience"
1t was relief 10 get away from this de-
tesiable couple. Plainly there was some
mystery about the affair. Two things 1
noted-that the servant had apparently not
returned yet, and that no second doctor had
arrived. Then, why had i been selected in

such as DR.. Peacock, living opposite me, es-
pecially if they really believed Mr.. Bond TO
be so i'll as they pretended? Why had
Ruth's name been omitted from the will?
Had any injury been really inflicted upon
Mr.. Bond, or why that shrinking OF the
head From the very first he had shown
considerable frmDess of purpose. Alto
gether it was a most extraordinary business.
1t was sulhy that night, and about an hour
later l opened my window and leaned out.
Below lay the silent street. At first | did

Guilty in recognizing Nh. Gotch. His face was
directed towards the house where DIR. Pea
cock lived. The mystery was growing in
interest. A boy ran into view, approaching
from the far end of the street. AT DIR. Pea
cocks door he rang, and, after delivering
some message went back the same way he
had come. Shortly afterwards the doctor
followed.

GEN. CLHRKSoN SURPRISED.
Presented With Magnificent GAR.
Badge.

Presented With Magnificent GAR.
Badge.
A pleasant feature of the Encampment
was enacted one evening in the week when
Gen. Thaddeus S. Garrison of the GAR.
went to his rooms to receive call from
Columbia Post of Chicago and Lafayette
Post of New York.
The comrades of these Posts at once as
cended to the Commanders rooms and to
the time of magnificent music furnished by
the Grand Army Band of Canton, filed
through his rooms, shaking hands with
him. Before all of the comrades left, Com
mander Mcconnell of Columbia Post and
the Commander of Lafayette Post stepped
forward and thanked Gen. Clarkson for his
Administration. In fitting words he re-
piled to the congratulatory speeches.
Suddenly there came in Col. J. Cory
Winans, his Chief of Staff, one of the best
soldiers that ever drew n saber Col.
WinaDs called him forward and in n neat
and appropriate speech presented him with
GA. T. badge on behalf of his staff.
When Col Winans presented this magnif-
cent jewel the Chief cried.
His speech OF thanks after he had recovered
was pathetic and eloquent effort. He had
scarcely finished before one OF his staff, Col.
t. M. Sterrett, Of St. Louis, called his daugh-
ter, Miss Clara Clarkson, and on behalf of
the Commanders staff presented 10 her
for presentation to her mother n solitaire
diamond ring and magnificent solid gold
watch and chain. Miss GARRISON, who was
one of the most charming and beautiful
women attending the Encampment, made a
fitting reply.
Then gold-headed cane was presented to
Col. Winans. Col. J. j. Kent, of Trenton,
\. j., handed the cane to the Commander
in-Chief, and then Gen. Clarkson, in a speech
which made Col. Winans's ears burn, pre-
scented it to him.

that good restorative medicine is
positive necessity. 1t must be a medi-
cine with specific virtues. AS friend,
a woman friend, let me advise the use
of Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
If your case has progressed so that
troublesome discharge is already es-
tablished, do not delay, take the Veg
etable Compound at once, SO as to tone
up your whole nervous system; you
can get it at any reliable drug store.
You ought also to use a local applica-
ton, or else the corrosive discharge
will set up an Inflammation and hard
ening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash is put up in packets at
25 cents each. To relieve this painful
condition this Sanative Wash is worth
its weight in gold.

Ireland for liberty in 179S, Miss Come
said that, while she did not win, the
ideal of liberty was put into the hearts
of her people, and that it is as strong
now as then.
Despite the weary degrade tion of these
last dreadful years, the youth and man
hood OF our country is still determined TO
be free. This year England celebrated
sixty years ofsuccessful murder and "a pine.
Next year we VIII celebrate noble strug-
gle for liberty.
''Our population in Ireland has been
reduced by one-half in these sixty years.
England has decreed that Irishmen shall
not live in the land that God gave them.
The periodic famines which accompany her
rule everywhere and the flight OF cur
people from their own shores has deci-
mated us. II the rule of England con-
tinued fifty years longer, there VIII be
none of us left"
Miss Come recited at length the tragic
story OF England's cruelty in Ireland.
'And all these horrors go on in times
of peace" she said. ITO you she breaches
the union OF hearts!
''Our remedy must be the same as yours.
Nearly every word OF your Declaration OF
Independence might be reoi;ed by US"
Miss Come spoke of the splendid iso-
lation" of England and prophesied that the
Jubilee might prove to be tue pinnacle
of her success. She said that England Is
circulating everywhere tue faisehOod that
Ireland is happy and oOntented, but that
the world does rot believe it.

has proven wonderfully true. | find the
Americans everywhere our friends. 1 have
been very successful. 1t is because | came
TO speak in the name of our great mother
land OF Ireland, OF her hopes for liberty,
Of her oppression.
There is nothing more wonderful than
the Irishman's devotion to his country.
Driven from home he never forgets his
sad mother land. In spite OF her sor
lows and her poverty we love Ireland more
than men love tue greater empires of the
world.
But you need not fear that this love
for Ireland will make Irish-Americans less
devoted To America. The more we love
Ireland tile better citizens we are of our
adopted countries.
Multttudes of our race have helped to
build up the magni1icence OF America
Miss Come alluded to the English asser-
tion that England has furnished America
with tue principal part of our popuIa-
ton.
She said that statistics prove that this
is not true. She read FROM the letter of

ago In answer TO an article by President
Eliot or Harvard University, which con-
tains figures To show that 20 per cent Of

oppose the idea of arbitration. It is not
arbitration that England wants. She
wants no guarantee OF peace, but TO be
able to make war without your inter-
ference. She is in constant fear OF trouble
in Europe. She would lose control of the
Suez Canal il she were to fight in Europe,
and she would need free American route
TO India. She imports so per cent of
her food supply, and half OF her food
comes from America. She wishes to
prevent the possibility OF privateers de-
stroytng her commerce If war comes, as
her privateers destroyed your commerce
once. She wishes TO be able to go to
Russia, France and Germany and tell
them that the great republic of America
is behind her. She wants you to back
her up in her old world tyranny and op-
preston.
The hypocrisy of this movement is so
glaring that you VIII not fail to see it.
Everyw here England has been aggressive.
During the last sixty years of Victoria's
reign there have been thirtyfour English
wars. They have all been with weak peo-
pies. She VIII not fight strong nations.
why does not England arbitrate the
Irish question? She does not really be-
lieve in arbitration, She never VIII eX-
cept to help herself TO somebody's hurt.
One OF her own statesmen said not long
ago in derisiOn: We English are a domi-
nant people. 1t is preposterous to talk

National self-defense, in its most i'm
pOrtant feature, includes the powers and
the means OF preventing aggression. In
all our troubles with other nations, which
have been very few. we have never
been the q aggressor, and, in war with trans
Atlantic powers, Great Britain has been
our sole antagonist. l find nothing in our
history or in any supposed change in British
policy to indicate that we Will interfere
with her Just rights, or that she with
cease TO interfere with ours.
Her policy OF aggression upon other ma
ti0ns is more pronounced now than il
ever was before, and unUil that is changed
1 am not willing TO bind our government,
in advance, that, If she again chooses,
uniustly. 70 renew or Continue her inter
ference with our rights, we shall stand
pledged in solemn treaties TO lay aside
the power to prevent the wrong, and con-
sent to settle the dispute by q lawsuit.
While Great Britain is launching war
ships at the rate of one in each month, and
is conducting great wars i'll Africa and
Asia, il is not an urgent necessity, at
least, that We should, bY treaty, deny our
selves the right OF self defense, to be
eXerted by every means that she employs
in unceaSing aggress ions.
] prefer 10 trust the sincere respect Of
Great Britain for OR full-aTmed national
power than her fTieadly foThearance when
we have stripped ourselves OF all actual
powers OF self-defense.
