"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM-I think it 10
my duty to write to you expressing
my sincere gratitude for the wonder
full relief 1 have experienced by the use
Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. 1 tried different doctors, also
different kinds of medicine. I would
feel better at times, then would be
as bad as ever.
"For eight years was great suf-
ferer. 1 had falling of the womb and
was in such misery at my monthly
periods l could not work but little
before would have to lie down. Your
medicine has made new woman fine.

done for me. 1 shall always praise
your medicine to all suffering women"

do all that you claim for them. Before
taking your remedies I was very bad
with womb trouble, was nervous, had
no ambition, could not sleep, and my

same instant, the bullet passing foot
in front Of the young mans face, and
fattening against the wall at his side.
Tom still retained the knife, and with
a quick slash he struck the hand which
held the revolver, causing the owner to
drop it, with yell Of pain, and dash of
toward the street at full speed, followed
by his companion, who had evidently no
desire to face Tom alone.
AS the men disappeared he turned, to
find the stranger he had rescued groan-
ing with pain, and trying to get on his
feet.
Take my arm and see il you can't
stand" said Tom. "Are you badly
hurt?"
"My right arm is helpless, and my
head goes round like top" was the
faint reply; "but I'm coming round all

"Can you get up?" interrupted Tom,
hastily. "If you can I'll just find that
pistol and we'll get away from this
place. If not, In leave you the weapon
and 60 after help. I'm cut in the side,
but don't know how bad it is"
A moments search discovered the
weapon, and after assisting the in.

ing slowly up the wharf when bright
ray of light suddenly penetrated the
darkness and tall policeman appeared
before them, throwing the searching
beams of a dark lantern upon them.
"What's going on down there?" he
demanded. didn't hear a shot just

Tom was about to reply when his
companion exclaimed:

would have robbed me but for this mar

both ran up this way"

Upon receiving ar. affirmative reply,
he turned on his heels and dashed of
in pursuit of the eyildoers, who by this
time had made good their escape.
As the avenue was reached herdic
happened along and Tom hailed it at
his companions suggestion.
''Take us to the police station on Bat
terry street." he said to the driver, and
in a few moments they stood before the
official in a well-lighted room telling
their story. A physician was in attend
ance upon prisoner and he soon made
rapid examination Of their wounds.
"A few strips Of plaster will fix your
scalp all right" said he to the elder
man, "and your arm is only numb from
the blow. You'll be all right to-mor-
row." Then turning to Tom, he added:
"You have had very narrow escape
from death, young man. That knife
was meant for your heart. As it is, 1t
glanced on rib and there is no damage
done. 1t is only slight flesh wound,
which will give you no trouble what

came a mufled cry, followed BY an
oath and the sound Of a struggle.
Tom cast one quick look about him.
No one was in sight and the next in
slant be had pulled off his gloves and
darted up the passageway at full speed.
The darkness was intense for a short
distance, but after a few yards be
emerged into q small open space in the
midst of which the three men were
writhlng and twisting in desperate
struggles. Tom was unable to distin-
guish one from another, but as he
reached the spot one man tore himself
free and shouted:
"Help! POliceI Stand back or III
shoot"
The rest Of his threat was drowned
by heavy blow from o blackjack,
which knocked the weapon from his
hand.
"stopl" cried Tom, springing to-
ward the assailant.
He was too late, for a second blow
stretched the stranger senseless and
bleeding on the snow, and with an angry
snarl the robber turned just as Toms
right fist shot out with tremendous
force.
Down went the man like a stricken
OK and Tom grappled with the other
with shout of triumph. His blood was
up, and, lifting his smaller opponent
bodily from the ground, he shook him
as mastiff would terrier.
"Hands off" painted the helpless
man, fiercely. Course you, what are
you trying to do?"
He was not long in doubt, for Tom
hurled him against the side Of ttone
building with such force that he fell in
an inert heap and lay motionlesS.
Tom turned to see what had become
of the taller man, but at that instant he
felt sharp pain in his side and strong
hand seized him by the throat and bent
him backwards, while hoarse voice
hissed in his ear:
"Take that for your pains, you med
ding fooll"
With a desperate effort he twisted
himself free from his assailant, spring
ing aside barely in time to escape an
other lunge of the murderous knife he
had just felt.
Again the fellow lunged viciously at
him, but Tom caught his wrist, and a
desperate struggle ensued. Although
much the stronger man, Tom found it
no easy task to avoid the blade, and the
two swayed back and forth over the
snow, the man trying to free his hand
for decisive stroke, and Tom bending
all his efforts to prevent it. Soon, how
ever, his iron grip began to tell, and he
felt his enemy's muscles relax. Putting
all his strength into supreme effort,
he wrenched the knife free, exclaim-
ing:
"I've got you now, you murderer, and
don't leave you till you are behind the
bars!"
But even in the moment Of his victory
he felt a cold ring of steel pressed
against his ear, and these ominous
words sounded behind him:
"Hold up your hands, mister. or
you're dead man! Quick, I say, or I'll
shoot!"
It was a moment of fearful peril.
There was murder in the mans tones,
and Tom felt it. He released his grasp
slowly, and the larger man pushed him
suddenly backward, crying:
"Shoot him, you idiotl"
His action saved Toms life, for the
other man pressed the trigger at the

The equipment consists Of standard Chicago

combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi

forms and anti.teleseoping device. All Of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are Of uniform width, the
Gothic Lights above being Of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe-
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection Of
plushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, etc., are Of special
design. 1t is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited An ex-
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.

This shows that cowpea vine hay is
not eXcelled in feeding value by any
of the closely related legumes. 1t indi-
Gates, also, that the hay when fed
alone is too rich in protein to give the
best results 1t should therefore, be
mixed with some coarse forage or
grass, or large portion of the protein
will be lost, because of the inability of
the animal system to assimilate it. It's
value as a hay on the Southern farm is
unrivaled, and for the purpose of
growing young stock it is without
peer. These facts should enable us to
more thoroughly appreciate the merits
Of this wonderful plant, and give it
that place in Southern agriculture
which it rightly deserves. Andrew M.
Soule, Agriculturist, Tenn. Elk. Sta.

Common Sense Plant Food.

There is nothing complicated about
this plant food problem. 1t does not
require scientific training, together
with unlimited faith, to master work
ing knowledge of the matter; but a
little common sense is necessary IN
this as in farming generally. In the
first place, plant food, manure, fertiI-
iZerS. etc. etc, all mean about the
same thing: certain proportions of nj
li0gen, potash and phosphOric acid.
Mark the fact that there are three in
gradients in plant food. All three are
neceSsary; plants absolutely cannot
grow without all three of them. 1t is
true that most crops will go as far as
they can with what food they can get,
but when any one of the ingredients
gives out. the plant ceases to grow.
This is an important point to keep i'll
mind. for it brings out the fact that an
excess of any one fertilizing Ingredient
or of any two, cannot help out de-
ficiency of any one. For example, it
may be possible to buy phosphateS
very cheaply, the fool farmer will try
feeding his crops all phosphates, with
the same results the farmer had who
experimental with training a horse to
live on wind. The common sense part
is to recognize that all plant food is
composed of three certain ingredients
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid)
and that all crops must have all three
of them, and in certain definite proper
tons.
For example, suppose an acre of po'

Cowpea Vine Hay.

The cowpea merits consideration as
a hay-producing plant. Of the many
legumes adapted to Southern condi-
tons, this one stands peerless as a for
age or hay-yielder, as
]. 1t makes an enormous growth of
vines.
2 1t may be termed ''sure CROP"
and a prolific yielder of a hay marvel
nusly rich in protein.
3 1t is thus superbly adapted to the
production of muscular energy, milk.
and flesh in the various classes of do
mesticated animals.
There are many varieties of cowpeas.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-11-15

in fair weather in making first-class
quality of hay. AS it may take several
days for curing, it is well to use large
hay caps to protect the cocks. These
are preferably of paper and may be
secured at a small cost. In case these
cannot be obtained, it will be well to
use a quantity of rough grass straw or
hay to cover the cocks.
There are some who claim that cow
pea hay can be made in a simpler man
ner, namely to cut the hay, allow it to
partially wilt, and then draw it to the
barn and store it in large bays. 1t is
there left to heat and cure, the great
mass having sufficient weight to ex-
clude the air on the principle of silage.
There is some danger, however, of
fire fang, and even of fire in the barn
from spontaneous combustion, as has
been shown in several we'll authenti-
Gated cases. The first method is pre-
ferred at this Station. Cowpea hay is
not more difficult to make than good
clover hay where proper precautions
are observed
The yield of cowpeas varies from TO-
600 to $4,000 pounds of green vines per
acre, and from three to five tons of
cured hay, depending on the soil, sea-
son, etc. 1t has been estimated that
an average crop of cowpea hay, oats,
and corn yields about $500, 1,GO0 and
1900 pounds of digestible matter re-
spectively per acre. 1t thus appears
that cowpea hay furnishes almost
twice as much digestible matter per
acre as an ordinary crop of corn and
oats combined. Nor is this ALL It
would require a yield of 800 bushels
of OATS including straw, and IT'S bush
els of corn and fodder per acre to pro-
duce the protein in an average crop of
pea vine hay
To bring this matter more clearly be-
fore the reader, we present the follow
ing table showing the digestible con-
stituents in one ton of the following
well-knOwn food stuffs:
