Serene comfort and happiness In ad-
vanced years are realized by compara-
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability 70 Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every COR
ner Of the earth there Is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy OF
lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. j. G. Orms. of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which Is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRs. PINKHAM:--I feel IL my
duty To tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. /
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies ! am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh
consider your medicine the best TO be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expcri-
ence in treating female ills Is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia +. Pinkham. and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating By letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.

CONCERNING OVERWORK.

Natural Laws Not Suspended In Any
Mans Favor, Says MIR. Bifdeton.
"Work," said Mr. Bif1eton, ''just good.
plain, solid, hard work, never killed any
body, but overwork may. 1t may be set
down as general proposition that work
done In overtime is overwork. And it is
certain that this kind of work doesn't pay.
There may be some little temporary profit
from It at the outset, but in the long run
there is not only no profit in it, but 1t may
result in great loss.
ST suppose that most men think there
will be an exception in their case; that
they can stand 1t, anyhow, but the time is
sure to come when they will discover that
the earth keeps right on turning, just the
same; that natural laws are not suspended
on their account; that, In fact, there is no
exception in their case and that il they
crowd themselves too hard they must pay
the penalty.
"There are, of course, situations In
which we expect to turn loose and work
without regard to time, but every man
knows when such occasions arise. A man
doesn' want to stint his time, either. II
won't do him any hurt to begin minute
or two before the whistle blows and wher
he works he ought to plug into it for al
he knows how, as he will If he is anybody
But when he has put in a good, stou
days work he ought to stop. 1t won't pa!
him to work overtime. A fresh and Wig
Orous man can do more work IN eighI
hours than tired man can do In 10. AnC
he has this further tremendous advantage
that he keeps his edge, while the tired
man is all the time becoming more tired
and is drawn out thinner and thinner un-

sin this condition the tired out man
may be useful as an object lesson. He
may even be of some service as a mission
airy, but be will not be of very much use

A Considerable Reporter.

When the Maine was blown up, the wife
of Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
was at her home in Washington. She had
heard nothing of the news, when she was

house. Finally Mrs. Wainwright rose and
looked cut CT the window, asking what
was the matter. A voice called out, care

"The Maine has been totally destroyed.
We are reporters and wish for some in

BLANCO'S GAME DIDN'T WORK.

Kew West, Fla, June 14-8.40 a. H.
Captain General Blanoo has apparently
not yet abandoned the hope of Turing the
American warships within range of the
Havana batteries.
he tried it again on Friday morning
last but with no better success than in
his previous attempts.
Advices received here today are to the
effect that five Spanish ships ran out te
the mouth of Havana harbor and headed
in an easterly direction.
The vessels OF the blookading squadron
were lying well off shore, the nearest moi
being closer than 1000 yards.
Upon sighting the Spaniards they rar
in short distance and opened fire OF
them. The volley Of shot and shell
brought no response from the enemy
but the quintette of ships speedily turned
tail and, hugging the shore. under the
batteries, ran back into the harbor. {.
The American ships, however, did not
accept the bait and nc further attempt
to modest was made.
The character of the Spanish boats
could not be positively fixed on account
of the distance, but the American off.
cers who participated in the affair, say
one or two were small gunboats of the
class which has been ma1oeuvring all
along the north coast in futile efforts to
draw the American ships within the fire
of the Spanish batteries.
Yesterday afternoon three of the Ha-
vana batteries, the Santa Clara battery
and Sand batteries, Nos. and Q, deliber-
ately opened fire upon one of the auxil.
larry gun boats which was cruising closely
along the shore. About half a dozen
shots were fired, none finding any other
mark than the sea.
