Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinlxham you are confding your private ills to a woman-a woman whose ex- perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy- sician, male or female.
 You can talk freely to woman when 1t is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, a man does not understand, simply because he isa man.
 MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
 INVITATION.
 Women suffering from any form of female weaknessa einvited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

FALLING BY THE WAYSiDE.

Each Recurring Memorial Day ID .wna on
 Fewer of the War Veterans.
 The lapse of another year has deci- mated the ranks of those who stood shoulder to shoulder with the martyrs of war, but who were spared to the na- tion to help cement the peace they won. and there will be vacant places to evoke fresh tears when the survivors gather about the sacred mounds ill the cities of the dead. The scars of bullets and bereavement have been healing little more as time has laid on the salve of its consolations, but the hands tl.at bore rifles to victory have been aging apace, and as they are stretched out today to lay on the tombs of their dead comrades the floral tribute of undying remem- brance they will tremble with the bur den of years as they formerly trembled with the burden of fresh sorrow.
 And when these steadfast souls, in the fulfillment of the Memorial cere- monial. anon straighten up in line and step forth to the solemn cadence of the music that once thrilled their hearts with eagerness for the clash of arms there will be some seen to totter and some will be stragglers and some will fall by the wayside and all will testify to the approaching end of their battle of life. Memorial day to these is some thing that sounds the depths of their hearts, most intense emotions.
 But the memories which are instinct with personal participation to them touch chord only little less respon- sive in the new generations which have arisen or are growing Ap about them.
 The brave fight they fought is sacred heritage in the patriotism of every true American. The children of the war and their children have drunk in at the mother's knee or in the schoolhouse the glorious record in the nations history made by these heroes-those dead and those living. They have grown into manhood or are growing into manhood with this love for the defenders of the Union deeply implanted.
 The memories of those soldiers who have gone are safe in the keeping of the new generations. The feeble hand of the veteran will be supported by the strong arm of youth while he makes his floral offering at the tomb, and when that feeble hand becomes still in final peace youth will take on himself the annual labor of love. The tottering steps of the wars survivors will slacken slowly year by year until they finish at last life's journey, but the march will | still go on and on with recruits from the ranks of the sons and grandsons of these veterans.

Whipped the Four Hundred.

An officer of the steamer Empress of Japan, recently arrived at Vancouver from the orient, tells of an exciting street fight which he witnessed ill the streets of Rongkong prior to the sailing of his vessel. There are many sailors ill that harbor attached to the war vessels
 of various nations, and they imbibe strong national prejudices as they watch the international game in the east. The trouble started in a saloon. The Rus sian sailors com bined with the French and Germans and formed double line down 8 narrow street and dared any Johnny Bull or Yankee to pass.
 The English and American sailors
 joined forces and found they mustered 150 to the enemy's 400. Nothing daunt
 ed, they seized lot of jinrikishas, form- | ed wedge with them and rushed on
 the foreigners with a cheer. They broke
 the line, smashed the jinrikishas and continued the fight with fists and pieces of the debris until, as the informant relates, they had the 400 allies badly whipped. The din was dreadful, but above it rose the singing of America and "God Save the Queen." both, of course, to the same tune. The authori- ties were powerless and appealed to the commanders of the warships, who or dered the men to stop, and the hostili ties ceased.
 Thus has been begun the much talked of Anglo-Saxon alliance against the | world.
