AN INTERMITTENT
Heart,
STOPPED EVERY THIRD BEAT.
But Mrs. Strope's Heart Now Longer Lays but
Throbs Regularly.

In a large, commodious house at No. 104
Huntington Street, Cleveland, Ohio, lives
Mrs Emily A. Strope, widow Of the late \. NJ.
Strope, and she is the mother of IL young man
who has been, and is now one of this city s
successful and energetic pharmacists. Mrs
Stropc, who has lately recovered from serious
cardiac difficulty, when questioned by u re.
porter regarding her late illness, stated us
follows:
"Two years ago, had my first experience
with Dr. Williams Pink Pills. For long
time was troubled with an allmcnt which
feared would eventually drive me crazy unless
| rid myself of it. 1t will sound strange, no
doubt, to some, bat my heart did not beat as it
should. Its action was irregular. There
would be two pulsatons, or perhaps three, and
then sudden cessation. My heart seemed to
rest for the period of one or two BEATS and
then resume its action. Sometimes such
lapses would not be SO frequent us that, but
scarcely u day passed that they did not occur.
IL felt as though something would strike the
heart with great force, and push 1t out of
place. During that period, whenever ! lay
down to sleep or rest, my hands would become
perfectly numb and helpless. Icould feel the
temporary paralysis coming over them, but |
could do nothing which would prevent it, My
feet were affected in like manner, and had
considerable difficulty in walking when such u
spell had possession of me. Naturally that
state of affairs completely upset my nerves, and
any one whose nervous system is well nigh

shattered, can appreciate and understand the
misery, chiefly mental, which | endured.
lost much sleep and rest, and often | was com
PEELED from sheer exhaustion to sit down dur
ing the day to obtain some rcposc. But us
soon as ! did so | felt that numb sensation
come over my hands and feet, and rocked
violently in my chair to drive il away, but
frequently to no avail.
"Onc day my son, who was keeping drug
store at the time, brought me home some of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and advised me to take them Tor my heart
trouble. ! did so and soon began to feel
better. | used the pills about two months
and they certainly cured me, for now my
heart beats regularly and all numbness has
disappeared and my circulation is III splendid
order"
We print the above hoping Mrs. Strope's
experience may be beneficial to others who
may suffer from arrangement of the heart.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain in con-
denscd form all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and re.
store shattered nerves. They are also Il spe-
ciiic for troubles peculiar to females such rs
supprcssions, Irregularities and all forms of
weakness. In men they effect n radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excuses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk)
ut Soc n box or six boxes for $3.50, and may be
had of all druggists, or direct by mail from

BIRD SLAUGHTER.
\ Strong Indictment of the Whole
Female Sex.

The editor of Natural Science is
quite out of patience with the female
sex for its continued devotion to the
use of feathers as mode of decora-
ton. He says:
"All moralists have assured us that
when lovely woman stoops to folly
she stoops very low indeed. And SO
when woman attempts to emulate the
glories of a Choctaw chief or South
Sea Islander, it is not considerations
of art or humanity or self respect
that will stop them. Consequently it
is not likely that the insensate votaries
of fashion who disfgure their heads
with baskets of artificial flowers Gr-
respective of the season., virulently
dyed scraps of ribbon, twists of steel.
and unnaturally clipped or colored
bird feathers. will pay any attention
to paragraph in a scientific journal.
But we are willing to leave the ire
sponsible half of creation all their
chiifons (Which mean rags or WON
ems dress as YOU plcase). their coal
tar dyes. and their scrap iron. if only
they will leave us our birds. The rate
at which some of the rareSt and most
beautiful birds on our planet are he
ing destroyed to crafty this eXtraor-
binary taste can hardly be realized.
On the 18th of April last nearly half
a million birds were sold at an auction
in London. and the details of the CON
signment were thus given by Mrs. Ed
ward Phillips at the annual meeting
of the Selborne Society:
Osprey plumes. 1852 ounces: vul-
ture plumes, 1861 pounds; peacock
feathers, 215.O5l bundles: birds of par
adise, 1852 bundles; Indian parrots,

THE ISLANDS ARE WANTED.
Admiral Bcardslee is interviewed in
Washington on Hawaii.

Admiral lBcardslee, who was in COM
mand of the Philadelphia in Honolulu
for several months this year, has an
interview in the Post on Japan and
Hawaii He says: Nobody who is
interested in Hawaii need he afraid
that Japan meditates doing the cor
sair act. Japan is no brigand among
nations, and her only object in send
ing her warships to Hawaii was to
protect Japanese citizens there in
case revolution did break out.
But it wasn't amiss that the flag
of the United States should, be there
at the same time, and it got all due
respect, too, from the Japanese men
of war, their Minister and legal rep
resentatives. There are 10000 of the
little people on the Islands, and of
course their country wants to see
that they get protection. which is all
right, and which is another thing
from any policy on the part of Japan
to commit seizure of the country.
which would he all wrong. Japan
knows the difference as well as we
do. and her SALVATION of the Ameri-
can flag in Hawaiian waters signifies
that she knows the position of this
country full well.
THE arguments for annexation, so
far as it effects the people over there.
are all affirmative. 1t would be a
splendid thing for them. In looking
the matter over, as | have. ! can see
the force of objections that the ad-
vantage will he all on one side: that
it would he a great boon to the Is
landerS, but "A hanp to the United
States. In summing up, however. my
opinion is that the acquisition of the
country is desirable from our stand
point. It. would be better for us to
take it than to leave it alone"

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
nv children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.

Denver Post. His mission here Is for
the purpose Of purchasing 200 head OF

properly handle the rush Of passenger
business to the Red River district. He
says the travel to that district is
gradually increasing and will be rush

proving exceptionally good, and the

lows the Cimarron river to the camps
