YOUNG AT SIXTY

Serene comfort and happiness In -.
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability tose-
rious troubles on account of their pecu.
liar organism and their profound igne-
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 mako
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how 70
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 e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. @. Orms, OF 2So
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which y
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that l
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
we'll, had kidney trouble, pain In
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies l am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. Z
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparai
lelled, for years she worked side By
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department d
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.

the men in the army who has been
able to do what he was ordered to do;
not a man to find out how things can't
be done"
General Shafter has blue eyes under
heavy, shaggy brows-the blue eye
which is at once kind and shrewd, with
hard CLINT, too, at moments. He
has the lighting hook nose;' more
than that, it is commandingly Roman.
He has Fitz Lee chin that is at once
firm and jolly. A heavy moustache of
gray, and white hair parted in the
middle. Plenty Of room for brains be-
tween the ear line Of the facial angle
and the top of his head-and this head
rests with comely poise on big, broad
shoulders. A man not quite six feet
great soldiers have rarely been so high
with comparatively short legs and
great length of trunk for breathing and
digestion, for which most men Of en-
durance and distinguished action have
been noted.
He stands heavy and swarthy, and,
one would say, grim, were not there a
hint of good humor playing underneath
the composure of self control.
Shafter was rs years old when the
civil war came. He entered the Sew
enth Michigan infantry as first lieuten-
ant in 1861. He served with dtstinc-
ton through the war, having been con-
secutively major of the Nineteenth
Michigan infantry, lieutenant colonel
and colonel of the United States infan-
try, and was in March, 1865, brevetted
brlgadier general.
His commission as colonel Of the
First infantry was vacated May a, 1897,
by his commission as brigadier-general,
succeeding which he was put in COM
mand of the Department Of California.

FLOWING MADE EASY.
A New Invention-A "stone Dodgsr'
Piow.

n
Piow.
From the Farm Implement News
The Fuller & johnson Mfg. Co., Of
Madison, Wisconsin, have brought out
a new implement, namely. a riding
pillow, that is attracting much atten-
ton wherever it Is seen. Heretofore
there has been very serious objection
to the riding piow where there is stone.
In striking a stone not only has there
been danger Of breaking the pillow and
harness, but the blow on the shoulders
of the horses was very injurious, and
worse than all, the driver was in dan
ger of being thrown off and injured.
These objections are overcome In this
appropriately named "stone dodger
plow. When II strikes stone the pillow
part only is raised up and slides over
the stone and pulls itself into the
ground again without any action on tho
part of the driver. The sulky part Is
not raised at all. A boy or an old man
who can handle the team can thus
readily do the blowing.
So much interest has been taken In
this pillow wherever it has been shown
that the manufacturers have adopted a
novel plan to aid in presenting its man
ifest advantages to the farming COM
munity. They are having large num-
Der of models made and in any section
where there is no sample pillow that
can readily be seen, any reputable
farm can, by writing to the company,
have a model sent to him by express
for inspection, without expense to him,
the company paying expressage both
ways. The farmer, after examination,
simply returns it to the express office
The model is nice piece Of work. 1t
weighs only ten pounds. The plow Is
made as single pillow for three horses
and as double or gang for four horses.
A very effective potato planting attach
ment can be had with these plows a.
small extra cost.

SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years of Suffering.
81 thought should surely die"

when the stomach begins to fall In
its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy, and life Is simply
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are SO common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example OF the suferings
of the victim Of indigestion Is furnished
In the case of John c. Pritohard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll, however, and thus relates his
experience:
"For fifteen years was great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. 1
tested the skill of many doctors, but grew
worse and worse, until 1 became SO weak
/ could not walk fifty yards without having
10 sit down and rest. My stomach, liver.
and heart became affected, and thought
would surely die. I tried DR.. J. {. Ayers
pills and they helped me right away.

so quickly relieve and cure the terrible
sufferings of dyspepsia as Dr.. Ayers

army comrade who was talking, and he
was talking of Gen. William e. Shat
ter, the man who leads the first army
Of the United States in Cuba. When
these two comrades stood near one an
other in the battle of Nashville during
the civil war there were behind them
in the shape of hospital corps, men VINO
gathered up the slain that were left on
the field by the scythe of battle, and
added the old comrade, at may be that
Shafter in those days might just as
well as not have thought Of the time
when as a bare-legged boy he was walk
ing behind the reapers through the har-
vest fields of Michigan. He came from
what Lincoln called plain people; he
did not 60 to West Point; he was
self-made soldier, if there can be such
a thing. 1t were better to say that he
was a born soldier and that even had
he tried to alter his career he could not,
in spirit at least, ever have been other
than a soldier"
The man who was talking was Henry
c. Corbin, adjutant general Of the Unit
ed States army-Corbin, the man who
was brevetted for gallant and merit
orious services in the battle Of De-
catur, Ala; again for gallant and mef-
itorious services in the battle Of Nash
Vile, and who is still the gentle SOL
der.
Corbin loves Shafter, as brave men
love one another, and so when the
writer asked the adjutant general why
General Shafter was selected as the
