THE CAPTAINS SPEECH.
cidedly to the Point, But Unsat-
isfactOry to the Orator.

One of the volunteer companies recently
at Camp Alger possesses beautiful new
tag, which was made and presented by q
number OF patriotic women in the Pennsyl-
vania town from which the company comes
1t was presented just before the company
marched away-or steamed away, to be &C.
curate-and the presentation was the occa-
sion OF much ceremony. The company was
drawn up in long line-"company front"
l believe, is the military term tor it-and .
very charming young lady read a very
charming and somewhat lengthy address,
which contained great deal of tlowery Ian
guage., The captain was it then, and had
to reply. lie is not an eloquent man at any
time, and he Is extremely shy; but he had
written out graceful speech of accept
ance, and he stepped forward confidently
and received the banner.
Ladies', he began, in Fourth of July
voice, Ladies, we will accept this flag. La
dies, We've will accept this flag" Here
his color forsook him. He had forgotten the
hest of his speech. One trembling hand
sought the pocket of his blouse. The manu-
script was gone.
.Ladies,"' he began again, desperately,
with gulping kind of gasp, Ladies, We
will accept this flag, and, and. and thanks
awfully for it, doa't you know"
And after all, | dare say the impromptu
was quite as effective as the address he
had prepared, but the captain doesn't like
to talk about it.-Washington Post.

DOMESTIC OLIVE OIL.
The Demand for 1t Is Steadily In
Observation-Disclosures as
Medicine.

There is a general growing demand
in all the markets of our country for
tie California picked olive. The Cali.
fornia olive grower is able to compete
with the foreign market in this direc-
ton, as the picked olives admit of no
aduiteration; consequently each
stands on its own merits.
The superiority of the California
olive has called attention 10 the Cali
fornia olive oil, which is as good as
tie pickleI olive. Here the COMPETE
ton is difficult. as the foreign oils are
nearly all aGulterated. Were they
brought here pure they could not be
sold at the price the California oil can
be made for.
There is reason to believe that the
government will do something for the
protection of its home olive growers
similar to that which it has done for
the prune.- raisin and orange growers.
here are a the present time $500. 900
olive trees in California. and about
three-fourths of these are in southern
California. 1t is said that the latter
Place can grow enough olive trees to
make all the olive oil and picked
olives that this country can consume.
The California raisins, prunes and
oranges had to fight for their recog-
milton in the United States, and even
though the superiority of these was
admitted the government had to lend
some aid.
The pure olive oil is an excellent rem
edy for stomach troubles, and is also
prescribed by doctors for all diseases
CT the nerves. a tablespoonful taken
every night has been known to effect
speedy cure in cases of chronic indi-
eestion. The first taste may not prove
agreeable, but after few doses one
learns to like tn. Y. Tribune.

At the Michigan Soldiers Home, in Grand

several wounds sustained in some of the
battles of the Civil War. In recountins his

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularityis a matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain Itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
o perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRuDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice. and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. 1
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
1 never had any faith in patent medi-
eines. now wish to say that never
had anything do me so much good for
painful DEMONSTRATION as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
mo of leucorrhea. I hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pink,aam, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
OF the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand aiLng
women during a single year.
AL suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. for advice about their health.

pENWOOD.

The recent stabbing ARRAY at Lubic's
saloon appears to have been made the
pretext for giving Mr.. Lubic what is
technically known as 1.-The worst of it"
The trouble did not originate in his
place, but in an adjoining house. One
CT the parties ran into the rear of the
saloon, was followed by the other, and
the cutting occurred under those cir
cumstances An effort was made in
Council to prove that the house was
discrderly, but it failed and it is
claimed that this is the first occasion
for seven years that there has been any
disorder in the Lubic place. 1t was
also alleged that the place was kept in
an unclean condition, and that the odor
was Bad. Yesterday the authorities
were sent for, and it was seen that the
trouble OF this nature did not come
from the saloon, but from a very bad
drain, across the ROAD, and this has
been cleaned up. The sensational pub
locations made in some papers, there
fore. appear to have done Mr.. Lubic an
injustice.
