Over burdened
Women.

Many a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate. The womanly organs become
displaced, there are facilitating, disagree.
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest she
needs lest a meal will be late. No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretched surly of tenn
per and snappish of tongue. She would
be false to nature if she were anything else
No persons need help so much as the class
of whom this woman is the type. And for
such women no help is SO sure, so wonder
full, as that given by DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t restores all the womanly
organs to perfect health. 1t establishes
regularity in their functions 1t restores
the strained and shattered nervous system
1t clears up the complexion, rounds out
the form and makes life daily happiness.

TWO NEW STORIES OF MR.. REEI
(St. Louis Globe Democrat

(St. Louis Globe Democrat
Congress Sherman of New York, told
two new stories this week. Reed stories
are always interesting.
During the. closing days Of the last
session." said Mr.. Sherman. "there was
a young graduate of one OF the noted uni
versities who came to Washington to
study the workings Of the government.
The youn man was very strongly i'm.
pressed with the idea that there was
something VT ong somewhere. and he be.
came imbued with the lofty purpose Of
finding out what ii was and then right
ing 1t. He bothered members of Con-
gress persistently In his search for en-
lightenment, and he induced some Of
them to give him letters Of introduction
to Speaker Reed. 1t was some time be-
fore he was liable to secure his much
coveted interview with the speaker, but
one day fortune was propitious, and the
young man was ushered into the speak
er's private room. To his delight he
found he was to have the speaker all to
himself. so to speak. He presented his
letters to Mr.. Reed, and while the speak
er was CHANGING over them he informed
him of his mission.
" Mr.. Speaker he said. by way of
introducing the subject which / have at
heart. allow me to ask you what you
think is the great Question now before
the American people; the issue which is
most engrossing the attention of the
masses OF our population
1.-The speaker thought for an instant
and then drawled out; I'm not quite
sure, but think it's lodging bicycles
1.-THE young man took his leave with a
grieved look, similar to that OF a bicy-
clist who has just punctured his tire.
: The other story which Mr.. Sherman
relates OF the speaker, has to do with u
visit made by Mr. Reed to Lake Cham
plain, N. Y. Mr.. Reed, MIR. Sherman
and Congressman Foote were being
shown around by q native VINO had the
story of that region at his tongues end,
and who, much to the amusement of his
listeners, was throwing in q lot of his

ticular interest in stutfng" Mr.. Reed,
whose identity was unknown to him. In

any great degree of a.tonishment

handicapped good deal BY lack Of men
to garrison ths places we have taken. To
pacify the country it is necessary not
only to drive the insurgents away, but to
keep them away. and to do that there
must be troops enough to hold all the
places taken. Doubtless our present force
in the Philippines is large emo ugh to
whip any insurgent army that could be
mustered. but 1t is not large enough to
surround and capture 1t nor large
enough to garrison places taken and
main tain order therein, against hostile
population. 1t hardly admits of doubt
that before we can psoify the country we
must have more troops, perhaps great
many more.

1t Is ditficult to account for the changed
tone of the dispatches from Manila. A
few days ago, and for weeks before, all
the reports that come from Manila direct
were of the most optimistic character.
The Filipinos were beaten and dis
couraged, assertions were frequent and
there was no doubt but the insurrection
was on the verge Of collapse. Now, ap-
parently, in the twinkling of an eye,
everything is changed. The insurrection
has taken on new lease of life, the
Filipinos are exceedingly active, they
are now occupying the places we have
left, and they are keeping American
soldiers constantly in the trenches and on
the alert. More troops are imperatively
necessary to paciiy the country. 10 be sure
these latest reports do not come direct from
Gen. Otis, that is to say they are not
signed by his name but as everybody
knows, there is strict censorship at
Manila under the direction of Gen. Otis,
and nothing of this character could get
through without his assent. What has
brought about this great change? What
mas SO stimulated the insurgents? How
is it that a rebellion which few days
sNo was on the verge of collapse has sud
denly taken on a new .lease of. life?
1t / suggested by some of the i'm
perialist newspapers that the Schurman
commission is responsible. that it's con

to believe that our government was
weakening. it is highly Improbable,
however, that if the insurrection had so
thoroughly petered out as our COM
manders appear to have thought that
anything that the commission has said or
done could in so short a time have recuper-
. ed il. The probability, we think. is-that
our commanders considerably overesti-
mated its decentralization. Furthermore
there is no doubt that we have been
