AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM,

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug.
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves Of your val.
uable medicine.
AFTER the birth Of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men.
situations were very profuse, appear.
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good DOCTOR,
but 1t seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in
paper. I sent at once for bottle OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
~ think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf.
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax.
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-.
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

Blowing Hot and Cold in the Arctic.

The fluctuations in the temperature
were very trying. Frequently with
the onset of southeast gale it rose
from forty degrees below zero to
twenty eight degrees above within
thirty-six hours altering our gar
ments, which had previously been
frozen as hard as sheets of galvanized
iron, SO that it took us hours to get
into them, to state of noisome mois-
ness, and everything inside the tent
would be in condition of drip. Down
again would go the temperature, and
the rockiness of our clothes and equip
ment would be increased. This addi-
tion of moisture and ice in our clothes,
besides being inconvenient and un-
comfortable, greatly increased our
weights. To give an instance, my
militia fur jumper), which on leaving
the hut weighed. little under ten
pounds, on our return scaled nearly
thirty pounds. The rises of temper
ature and consequent wet in the tent
caused our furs to rot, and the stencil
made thereby was absolutely indie.

A Smart Taffeta Coat.

A very smart blue taffeta coat is en-
tirely covered with narrow blue silk
braid. 1t is made tight fitting in the
back, but with quite long basque
and has a belt studded with jet that
goes under the full straight fronts
There are two deep revers, one over.
tapping the other, cut in sharp points
and faced with white mousseline de
sole. 1t is intended to be worn with
a fine blue wool skirt shade deepe,
than the taffeta, and trimmed with
braid like that on the coat

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
why the Bungling Bucksaw Was Rele-
gated to the Barn.

WHY the Bungling Bucksaw Was Rele-
gated to the Barn.
''What I want" said the young
wife who is bravely starting to do her
own work, ''is a saw for general use
about house. Here am chopping
away with a dull hatchet at this ham
bone" and the vigor with which she
hacked expressed her feelings better
than words could have done.
4 can get you just what you want, "
volunteered the man who was attach
ing weights to the kitchen windows
SO they could the more easily be man
ipulated, ''and it won't cost over
thirty cents.
He received the commission and
the result was bucksaw with a rar-
ticularly large frame, cost seventy
five cents.
"There's a saw" said Che pur-
chaser, ''as is a saw. When your
trees blow down you can cut them up
into stove lengths, or you can cut nm
old broomstick in two with it to max g
a clothes stick, or you can uSe it in
cutting bone when it has to be DONE
That's great all around saw, mum.
There was another ham bone to be
cut, and she called her husband to
hold the ham while she did the saw
ing. He laughed outrageously at her
purchase, but she stuck up for it and
made plain the opinion that his judg-
ment in practical matters was very
undesirable. OF course the long, sharp
teeth of the saw struck too deep into
the bone and made it impossible for
him to hold the ham steadily.
''Give me that saw" he said, testi-
ly. ''Therc are some things beside
throwing stone that woman can't
do
He tried and she tried, but results
were no different.
eff you'd just go away and leave
the whole thing to me-" she said, ST
could get along nicely"
He went as far as the door and
stood there laughing while she held
the ham with her left hand and made
frantic efforts to saw with her right
When the ham made dash from the
table and slid clear across the floor
and down the cellar way, he leaned
against the door sill and she began
making arrangements to go home to
her mother. When they seriously
talked the matter over half an hour
later the bucksaw was relegated to
the barn and he went down town to
buy a meat saw.

the letter ran, "I send you soldiers

the letter ran, II send you soldier
cap"
Hastily Minnie opened the small
package and took therefrom bon
bonniere, which was the Soldier
cap" and it was filed with chocolate
creams. "How lovelv!" cried Minnie,
passing the candy to her mother.
"Isn't it dear little soldiers cap,
mammal"
And without waiting to hear her
mothers reply she went on with her
letter. "The shops are full of pretty
conceits in bonbonnieres," wrote
the cousin. t'Knapsacks, sailor hats,
shells, shield shaped boxes, tents with
a soldier on guard at the door. But I
chose to take off my hat, as it were, to
my western cousin" So the letter
ran on.
For two or three days Minnie's
thoughts were in a whirl. Now she
thought of Willie off for the south,
now of the dainty bonbonniere, and
now of her fathers papers. And out
of the chaos at last darted an idea.
''MammaI' she cried. "Come!'
''Come! Where?" asked the mother
in astonishment.
But Minnie held out her hand al
most impatiently, her eyes shining
with excitement. 'I've thought,
mamma. Come!" she repeated.
Without word Mrs. Tilford laid
down her sewing and rose to follow
her daughter into their tiny sleeping
room. Down dropped Minnie on the
floor, and cropping under the bed
brought out long fiat box.
''What do you mean, Minnie?" de-
manded Mrs. Tilford. '"That is your
fathers old uniform"
81 know it, mamma. Open the box;
open it quickI'
'The child has been too much ex-
cited tho last few days." thought Mrs.
Tilford, glancing at her daughters
flushed cheeks. 81 will humor her,"
She opened the box.
Impatienty Minnie reached past her
mother and picked up her fathers
cap. Her sensitive fingers felt of
the crown. ''They are!" she cried.
"They are here! Feel, mamma! Don't
you feel paper in the crown?"
A few moments careful work took
out the lining, and out fell the papers.
"Your father was wise," said the
mother, brokenly. ''He knew I was
careless and young. And, he knew,
too, that loved him and would never
part with his uniform"
She said no more, but her heart
went out in gratitude to that Higher
Power that had directed her through
means to this piece of good fortune.
GLOW came you to think of it?"
asked the mother, when the papers
had been placed in the hands of an
agent and the pension and back pay
assured.
81 thought, said Minnie, eff q
soldiers cap would hold chocolates
why not soldiers cap hold papers?
It was Cousin Willie's bonbonniere.

THE CALL

The clouds grew dark as the people paused,
Apeople Of peace and toll,
And there came cry from all the sky:
"C( ne, children of mart and soil,
Your mother needs you-hear her voice;
Though she has not son to spare,
She has spoken the word that ye all have
heard.
Come, answer ye everywhere"
They need no urging to stir them on,
They yearn for no battle-cry.
At the word that their country calls for men
They throw dowu hammer and scythe and
pen,
And are ready to serve and die!
From the North, from the South, from East,
from West,
Hear the thrill of the rumbling drum?
Under one flag they march along,
With their voices swelling a single song,
Here they come, they come, they come!
List! the North men cheer the men from
And the South returns the cheer.
There is no question of East or West,
For hearts are atune in every breast,
'TiS a nation answering here.
1t is elbow to elbow and knee to knee,
One land for each and for all,
And the veterans eyes see their children
rise
To answer their country's call.
They have not forgotton-God grant not so!
(Ah, we know of the graves on the hill),
But these eager feet make the old hearts
beat,
And the old eyes dim and fill!
The Past sweeps out and the Present comes,
Present that all have wrought,
And the sons of these sires, at the same
camp fires,
Cheer one nag where their fathers fought!
Yes, we know of the graves on the Southern
hills
That are filed with the Blue and the
Gray.
We know how they fought and how they
died,
We honor them both there side by side,
And they're brothers again today,
Brothers again-thank God on high!
(Here's hand-clasp all around).
The sons of one race now take their place
On one one common and holy ground.
Richard Barry, in Harper's Weekly.

A Physicians Opinion.

An eminent physician of st. Louis,
Mo-, says that no person should be
permitted to drink tea or coffee until
he or she has attained the age of Is

gestive organs.
