THREE HAPPY WOMEN

Relieved Of Periodic Pain and Backache.
Before, using Lydia E. Pinkbam's
Vegetable Compound, my health was
being gradually undermined. I suf-
fcrcd untold agony from painful men
struation, backache, pain on top of my
head, and ovarian trouble. The COM
pound entirely cured me.-MRs.
GEORGE WAss, 923 Bank ST., Cincin-
natl, o.
For years had suffered with pain
full menstruation every month. One
day little book of Mrs. Pinkham's
was thrown into my house, and I
sat right down and read it. I then
got some of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound and Liver Pills. I
can heartily say that to-day feel like
a new woman; my monthly suffering
is thing of the past. shall always
praise the Vegetable Compound for
what it has done for me.-MRs. MAR

"Lydia E. A:nkham's Vegetable Com

drove me wild. Now this is all over,

troopers was in no sense balm for his
rufled pride.
1t was noon before the stores were
destroyed and the list of prisoners COM
pleted. Then came an alarm. Colonel
Mosby, who has been dubbed The
Bandit of the Potomac" but who was

The Greece of To-Day.

To understand the phenomenal rise
of Greece we must bear in mind that,
though the Greeks had been miserably
downtrodden by the Turks for 400
years; the best hope of the people,
borne by an unholy tribute far away
from their mothers homes, and trained
into the tools of an inhuman tyranny;
and though had it not been for the ''un-
toward event" at Navarino, the whole
population of the Morea would have
been exterminated beneath the merci-
less tramp of Turkish hoofs, there nev-
ertheless lived behind the outward
show of slavish debasement heart of
sturdy independence that cherished the
patriotic memories of ages, and seized
eagerly on every chance that might en-
able it to stand before the world in the
attitude and character that had given 1t
the most prominent place in the history
of the human race. The two years
struggle which gave to Greece the right
to look Europe in the face as 4 noble
people determined to die rather than
live the slaves of hateful tyranny, at
the same time gave to Europe the as
ludt OIccCe was ANIhS olCCSO
again; and Christian conscience and
classic memories combined, when once
the yoke was broken, to enable the
Greeks to show to the world that, in
spite of the bombshells of Venice and
the sabres Of Turkey, not only should
Greek mother bear sons to grow up free
from the rapine of Turkish hands, but
desOlate Athens should rise to her old
position, and along with Edinburgh,
Glasgow and Aberdeen, assert its place
among famous European cities that
combine commercial enterprise with
cultivated intelligence. 1t vase this
noble, patriotic pride that, in the short
space Of half a century, turned the lit
tie ruined village into an imposing city.

OF THE DAYS GONE BY.


Dreams, come home to my heart again.
With the memory of the past!
Come, with your pleasure and your pain,
And your hopes too bright to last!
Come from your hidden graves that lie
In the beautiful realms of the days gone
by.
Come, from your glorious graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone by!
will welcome We all again,
AS once in the halls of Ed.
Welcome the pleasure and the pain
For the beauty your brief lives held!
Dreams, come out of your secret graves,
In the woodland wilds, and the dim sea-
caves.
Dreams, come out of your myriad graves,
In the wilds and the dim sea-caves!
Ye throng the halls of my heart once
more,
With faces sad with pain!
Oh, faded ghosts of the drains of yore,
The joy comes not again!
Go back! to your mournful graves that lie
In the shadowy realms of the days gone
Go back! to your voiceless graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone by!

Big Telegraph Cable Contract.

The largest telephone cable contract
ever given is reported from st. Louis
as result of the telephone wires being
placed under ground in that city. The
statement that the contract covers $780,
900 feet of cable containing fully 10O,-
10000 feet of No. 19 B. & S. copper
wire, 1000. 900 pounds of lead casing
and thousands Of pounds of paper
insulation can only be appreciated
by comparisons. Six hundred and
fifty thousand feet equals about
1874 miles, or about the distance
from New York along the coast
to Cape May, or the very end of New
Jersey. The small wires, if spliced to-
gether, would reach nearly half round
the earth, the total length being 1S, 900
miles. One thousand tons of lead
would equal in weight solid prism of
castiron ten feet square and 40 feet
high.

Webster and Clay Raise the Wind.
The recollections of John Sherman,
the tallest and thinnest man in Con-
gress, do not embrace the best story
of Webster and Clay. Both were great
money-makers, and both were forever
in the hardest financial straits. One
day Clay went to Webster and said:
Got any money, Dan? wan. $685.
81 was going over to borrow that
amount of you," said Webster. Il am
dead broke"
"Worier where we can raise it? We
need $500 between u.s."
They formed themselves in commit
tee of ways and means, and after much
thought evolved plan.
"Clay, If you will make draft on
me at thirty days will indorse it, and
we can get the money at the bank"
The draft is in Washington bank
at this day, bearing both signatures.
The two "old boys" got the money and
the next day were skirmishing around
for Inore.-New York Press

The earthwork sheltered them from
the shot and shell of the artillery, and
KentoH ordered the little band to be
ready for the dash he knew would sooner
or later be made. The Federals could
be seen dismounting just outside of
musket range, and as force of about
500 were moving out to charge the fort
held by the major he raised white flag
in token of surrender. The other two
refused to be bound by his action, but

CHAPTER XIX.

As the Federals poured into the Shen-
andoah valley and regained lost ground
the quartermaster and commissary
stores left by jackson under the guard
of few score men at Harrisonburg
were made ready to be forwarded to
Richmond. While Royal Kenton fully
realized that his being left behind was
but another move in the conspiracy to
destroy him, he allowed no one to un-
derstand the real state of his feelings.
There was work to do, and plenty of it,
and he took hold SO willingly that only
a few days had passed before he was
commended for his zeal by the major in
command of the post.
Unexpected difficulties arose about
securing transportation, and though re-
ports of Federal advance were daily
received the major hung on in hopes of
saving the stores. One morning at sum
rise his pickets were driven in by troop
ers in blue, and 10 minutes later he re.
ceived a summons from General Custer
to surrender. He had only about 200
men all told, while it was plain TO De
seen that he was fairly surrounded by
the force opposed. He asked for IS
minutes to consider and at the end of
that time returned refusal. His little
force almost to man had agreed to
fight to the last. Three or four earth-
works had been thrown up to protect
the supply depot, but they were with
out artillery. The force was divided SO
as to man them all, and Royal Kenton
and Steve Brayton found themselves
and about 20 other men in work with
ont even a noncommissioned officer
among them. AS they were already un-
der fire, Kenton was by common consent
given command.
"We uns is gone up this time fur
suah." observed Steve as Custer posted
his brigade and then opened fire with
battery, 'tbut reckon we might sortss

Mollie.
Old Mr.. Dimmock looked mystified.
''It seems to me-" he said, with
show of impatience, that if l were in
love with one of those girls could tell
the difference between them. So far as
l can make out, young man, you have
asked Millie to be your wife, and have
tried to make Mollie believe that you
could not live without her. Now, to any
one who does not know Millie and Mol
lie your conduct would appear to be
perfidious. Of course, as between you
and Mollie, must believe Mollie, for
the girl certainly knows whether you
kissed her."
The old man eyed both of his daugh-
tiers hard. Millie was biting her neither
lip and so was Mollie; but Mollie was
trying to keep from laughing.
Old Mr.. Dimmock had an idea.

"How is that, Millie? Mollie?' asked

Mollie looked her father straight in
the eye, and then she shot an indignant
shaft at Bromley.
Millie hung her head, and her face
was as red as a poppy.

"that it's plain I'll keep Mollie, and
We'll have that marriage before you

Tricks of Horse Traders.

There are tricks in all trades, but
horse trades appear to have more than
their share A new dodge in that line
is reported from Philadelphia. The
proprietor of an uptown hotel in that
city ratronized largely by agricultur-
lists was very anxious to sell horse to
friend from the country, but the lat
ter had some doubt as to the animals
speed. The two agreed upon a GER
tain day for a drive in the park, and
in the meantime the hotel man had not
been idle. They were bowling along
at pace which was scarcely calcu-
lated to create any excitement when a
park guard, who had previously been
fixed" arrested the owner of the
horse for driving faster than the al
lowed 800 gate. He willingly paid his
fine of $5, and his companion was %
impressed by the occurrence that he Inn
mediately purchased the horse.

local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
