Suffering Mothers, Read

When my first child was born had
great trouble with my breast. 1t would
break on, with an itching hunor that
was almost more than I could stand.
It was something like the thrash and it
zee med to poison my NIX Wkereyr
the milk would touch me or my child 1t
would cause the humor to break out, and
would make the child's mouth 90 sore
that was driven tn wean the child ard
raise If on the bottle. l had the trouble
to return with five of nv children, and
come lear losing then all. I was sor-
rowful in my heart not to nurse my ba-
bies, but l could not do it, and was
driven to wean them. My fourth and
fifth child died from it as the disease
settled on the bowels. We had all the
benefit of medical treatment that the
country afforded, and spent hundreds of
dollars trying to get well, and it almost
broke me up. Before the birth Of my
sixth child | met Mrs. Joe Person at
Smithield, and from what she told me of
her Remedy, l concluded to try it. I
bought some of the Remedy and wash
from Mr.. Hood, and before / had used
the six bottles l was perfectly cured.
At the birth of my next child 1 was well,
and have since had two children, but
have never had any more trouble with
my breast, and my children were born
well and healthy, and was able to nurse
them.
One of my little girls was poisoned

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 20-James N.
Danner, a banker of York, Pa, has
brought suit in the United States Cir

Danner was insured under the Ton

for $4,000. payable at his death to

sion.
Danner claims the Tontine plan is a
species of gambling. He asserts that

society cannot forfeit the value of his
payments made to the society in ex-
cess Of his share of the expenses and
the mortality losses to any particular
class of policy holders. without violat-
ing all rules and laws Of mutually

fits due on the policy amounts to 81

CYCLING
CHATTEM
xN&N*x* x&4xxx9

Colorado has a wheelwoman with q
remarkable record. She is Mrs. A. E.
Rinehart, wife of a photographer in
Denver.
Mrs. Rinehart did not know anything
about mounting, pedaling and steer
ing a bicycle IS months ago. To-day
she has next to the longest string of
century bars in America. About a year
ago it was announced that century"
had been ridden by woman who had
learned to ride wheel but three
months before. Cycling Denverites
thought her feat remarkable. The
woman who performed this feat was
Mrs. Rinehart. A week or two later she
rode another century, and her fame
spread from one end of the state to the
other. During the early spring the en-
thusiast did little riding, but in July
she created considerable sensation by
riding ten centuries in ten days.
Just at that time Secretary Fairchild,
of the Century Road club of America,
went to Denver. Mrs. Rinehart met
him and almost broke commandment
when she saw his string of century
bars, which is the longest in the coun-
try, numbering 1872. She expressed a
desire to approach such number, but
Mr.. Fairchild laughed at the idea. 1t is
sometimes a dangerous thing to laugh
at a woman, even such an amiable one
as the average wheelwoman. Mrs.
Rinehart then and there swore in
wardly that she would bring her list of
centuries to the 100 notch before the
end of the year. Only about five months
remained for her work and she had but
SO bars. From that time no one heard
anything of her riding, but she was
seen frequently skimming at a fast
pace over the road. All the while, how
ever, she was making her wonderful
record, and the fact came out when she
one day made a fast double century.

\ BLOOMER STORY.

Seldom has woman found herself in
a more embarrassing predicament than
did bloomer girl from La Grange, Ia,
the other day at Hinsdale, Mimi,
where she had stopped to have some
repairs made TO her wheel. The pro-
prietor of the repair shop had been an
noyed by the persistent loafng of set
of idlers and had that morning laid
q trap for their discontinue by spread.
ing a coat of tire cement upon the low
counter where they were won't to roost.
When the bloomer girl appeared on the
scene he forgot all about the cement,
and the young woman, in true mascu-
line fashion, sat down on the counter.
When the repairs were completed the
young woman attempted to rise, but she
was stuck fast and could not possibly
release herself without leaving por-
ton of her raiment on the counter.
Then came pause in action but an ac-
CELEBRATION in feeling. The proprietor
of the shop finally recovered his wits
sufficiently to remember that gasoline
will soften the cement and fastened to
a nearby store for can of the fluid
Meanwhile the poor girl alternated be-
tween sobs of shame and fright and
tears of indignation.
When the gasoline arrived the portion
of the counter upon which she was fas-
tened was literally wet with a guam
tity of liquid sufficient to make the
young woman uneasy whenever she saw
a man approaching with a cigar in his
mouth. After sitting Gin pickle" some
Is minutes the maid was released by
gradual softening of the cement and
went on her way, but not rejoicing,
for her precious boomers were entirely
ruined so far as appearances were con-
cerned.
