THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo- men. Here are two such letters:
 Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25S Merrimac St., Lowell, Mass, writes:
 ' It affords me great pleasure to tell all suffering women of the benefitIhave received from taking Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound. lean hard ly find words oexpress my gratitude for what she has done for me. My trouble was alteration of the womb. was un- der the doctors care. Upon examina- tion he found fifteen very large ulcers, but he failed to do me good. took sev- eral bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veee- table Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am cured Mrs. Pinkham's medicine saved my life, and I would recommend it to all suffering women"
 Mrs. AMOS TRoMBLEAY, Ellenburgh Ctr, N. Y. writes:
 ''I took cold at the time my baby was born, causing me to have milk legs, and was sick in bed for eight weeks. Doctors did me no good. I surely thought would die. I was al- so troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times day. One day a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and ad- vised me to try it. l did so, and had taken only half bottle before I was able to sit in a chair. After taking three bottles I could do my own work. am now in perfect health."

with S200,o00, which he did not need and township of land which he could not use. He would decry the erection of monuments to foreigners in a for elgn land until all of our debts are paid to Washington, Lincoln, Grant and others, all of whom he declares are in need of statues to properly perpetuate their memories. In fact in a kind and genteel way Justice" accuses Mir. Peck of riding d monumental hobby horse at the expense of Americas pub lie school children.
 Once upon time before the day of New York's acquired greatness by an- nexation, this fling at Chicago would have been passed over without giving it thought, for all such things were supposed to be suggested by jealousy of Chicago, but when the eastern me tropolis acquired new territory and new population, her citizens offered the right hand of fellowship to those of Chicago, and the red ax of war was supposed to have been buried. Jus tiee' must be a black sheep in Father Knicllerbocker's family.
 In the meantime Mr Peck's hobby horse seems to be travelling at rapid gait, and to have secured the confidence of the school children, who have backed it against the field to the extent of close to $1o0,000. The dream of an American statue of LaFayette erected. by French artists in Paris is to be reality, and will be one of the sights of the great show to be opened in that city in 1900. Thanks to Mir. Peek, the Ameri- can states will be creditably repre- sented at the French exposition.

cino Lee works over his tubs and iron ino board early and late, taking only lime enough during the day to deliver his completed bundles to their owners and to prepare his simple meals, which are popnlarly supposed to consist of a 1norsei of rice and an occasional house rodent as a delicacy. But it is only necessary to become the least bitintt- mate with the Ghinaman to learn from bim the story of his ife-at least as he interprets it, which may or may not be right-probably not.
 He will tell you that he is son of the now famous empress dowager of inc Celestial empire, and that he is en- filled to a seat on the Chinese throne, or if not that as yet one very near to it.
 When asked why he does not go back 10 the land of rice and rats he will tell YOU that he Is waiting for the old lady fo pass over the great line, so that court fife in PekiHg will be more pleasant than it is supposed to be at the present time
 Others of his race and occupation re- SIGiH2 ILL lAE 0idI K SlItGl DdSGIuGIlS. where some but eke out scanty liv- ing and others become wealthy, dis credit Sing Lees story and class him as base impostor, but still he sticks to his tale and claims that time will prove it's truth In the meantime he may in- yite you into his back room for a smoke, but he is careful to keep this latter fact from the police.
 But Sing Lees ease is not as bad as that of Baron Curt Won BiedenfeId. of Germany, who languisbes in a Chicago prison awaiting trial fer murder And another, Benni= Von Hazeldorf, eldest son of an Austrian baron, is working as a helper in a horseshoer's shop at Hammond Ind. just across the state line from Chicago. Nr. Non Hazelderf is a graduate of Heidelberg and speaks five languages.

OUR NEW ISLAND POSSESSIONS

The proposition to add millions of semi-cannibals to our happy family is meaty subject.
 The imperialists have their Philip pines, and the anti's, also, say they have their Phill of them.
 With more or less fighting going on in many of the Philippines, we can hardly speak of them as our Pacific" islands.
 No doubt our newly-acquired breth- ren of the Philippines feel very strange ly toward us, up-to-date, but when we come to get closer together our canni- balistic friends may become Tery fond of Us.
 As yet there are conflicting reports concerning the social conditions of some of our newly-acquired brethren in the Philippines, but we understand that the airy notions, regarding the superfiuousness of apparel, which pre- vail in much of our territory. will make it comparatively easy matter fer our commissioners to learn the naked truth.-L.

'"The hand that rocks the cradlei is the hand that rules the world" was very pretty sentiment in it's day. Even now orators who are not quite up to uate on the ethics of "child culture' do little soaring along this line. They don't know that well-regulated mothers have started a crusade against cradle rock ing, and that there is a stigma on the hand which persists in jogging the baby. Apparently the electricians did not know this, either, for they have in- vented a cradle which can be rocked by electricity All the fond mother has to do is to put the pug in the switchboard. and the cradle will rock until the baby grows up and pulls the plug out him self, if some one doesn't do it before that. Consequently, the prospects are that if the cradles of the world do go on swinging the hand that rocks them will be that of the electrician. In that case, maybe the hand that rocks the cradle will continue to be the one that rules the world, but there will scarcely be 50 much sentiment about it.-N. ', Sun.

with the other great things in Chicago.
 The army and navy bureau want work for the returned volunteers. They want the Chicago business men to show their appreciation of the boys patriotism now by giving them employ ment as they showed it when they started for the front by noisy demon strations, And, besides, they want to finish up their work and be relieved of the task of providing for so many un- employed men.

Of course it is to be expected that some of the cats which the ladies wish to befriend by offering them a suitable. home in which to spend their declining years may be so ungrateful as to re sent such an offer and, like some way ward young men and women in all large cities, prefer their nightly orgies on the back fences which they have ire quented for years past. Yet Ahe great majority of the city pussies cannot fail to see the advantages offered by such 8 home, where they will be regularly sup piled with an abundance of seasonable dainties, and from which all dogs will be forever barred. Of course it would not do to deprive the cats of all their former pleasures, and to prevent this we would suggest that the requisite back fence be supplied, and that small boys be employed to propel the neees- sary bootiacks and stones at them dur inp the small hours of the night.

 Like as not they will tell you that where the board of trade now stands wagonce offered them for a ten-dollar bill, or that they could have bought whole blocks of land at different places in the business district for such an insignifi- cant sum it would not pay to mention it.
 One man pointed out to me the other day a piece of property on which the Auditorium Annex now stands which 12 years ago he could have bought for S2, 500, but he didn't. To-day that same Io3 is drawing its owner rental money enough to give him and his family a six-montbs' trip to Europe every year.
 Another man, a railroad conductor, kicks himself each time he passes the Palmer house, for 30 years ago he could lave bought fourth interestin piece of land on which a part of that great building stands for $2,500. But he didn't. There were four acres in that piece of land, and to-day a small part of it is bringing an annual rental of $400,00O
 The moral of all this is that the av- craze old-time Chicagoan has been as greatly surprised at the growth of the city as any outsider possibly could be. They boomed the city and then waited for the outside world to come in and reap the benefit of their advertising. In this case the sower did not reap.
