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 arc
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25s Merrimao

SOCIAL PRETENDERS.
Various Met ods Adopted by Parvenus
In England to Deceive the
UnsuspectInE.

The ways of social pretenders are
always amusing and often ingenious.
The query: do you know the
Smythe-Hobsons? and the reply: "Oh
intimately; why. l dined with them
only two nights ago. are common
everywhere, though they deceive no
one. In England, however, there arc
special forms and devices which are
particularly interesting. An English
man tells of certain ingenious friend
of his who, when writing "A letter, in
variably begins with Dear Duchess"
Through this he lightly runs his pen
and then proceeds below soberly with
Dear Smith" BY means of this simple
device he has contrived to advance him
self considerably in life.
I'm the earlier days of my London
career" continues the Englshman. Il
remember having been much impressed
by an individual who was apparently
acquainted with all the carriage folk
in town. His hat was perpetually on
the move. No sooner had carriage
dashed past than he would leisurely
bow. at times casually remarking:
Why, there's Lady Baltimore. What
a charming woman she is.' or other

on the situation. As a matter of fact,
he was every bit as complete stran-
ger to the lady as was myself. Igroan

Another self-advertiser had once, and
once only, been favored with brief
conversation with a prominent royal
parsonage. Ever afterward he invaria-
bly, addressed everyone as Sir" occa-
sionally, however, correcting himself
and apologizfng on the grounds OF his
long connection with royalty. Still an
other individual contrives TO euter upon
his intimacy with great people imme-
diately on learning of their demise. No
sooner do the papers annouce that
THE right honorable the earl of Scat

this fellow straightaway adopts the

post-mortem intimacies.

such VIII BE the Appearance of the
EiHeI Tower of Paris When
Painted.

The Eiffel tower, say the gentlemen
OF esthetic temperament, must go.
The Eitfel tower, say the gentlemen
who know the law, must stay for some
years yet. The Eiffel tower. say the
esthetes, is ugly, discouraging TO the
eye and an all-round nightmare. "Scaf-
fold!' cries the rarper. Down with it (!
1t has no place in esthetic Paris"
"lmpossiblel" objects the law. "When
the company took lease of it they
got it for term of 20 years. You
can't break the lease, and the time is
nowhere up"
But" urges the esthete, "look at
the shape, look at the size. look at the
color! Is not the whole thing hideousP
If we can't destroy it we can at least
improve it and lessen the offense to
our senses
And so the Eitcl tower is going to be
metamorphosed. 1t has been in color
a reddish brown, and it is the color to
which the gentlemen with the fine ideas
have long objected. They have called
peatedly ridiculed the commonplace
tone OF hue. And now they have pre-
vailed, ant the lower is going to be a
thing of beauty, so far as that goes.
Silver white is the color agreed upon,
and it is urged that when the army of
workmen have finished their painting
the huge structure will look really not
so bad after all. Half hundred men
will be employed on the building, work
ing hard every day for two months.
And 10000 kilcgrammes Of paint will
be used up before the Eiffe tower has
finally lost its brickdust coat and finds
itself arrayed in the poetic covering
which the esthetes have advised. Two
coats of paint will be applied and tie
brushes will be busy.
1t has been objected that the tower
has always had the appearance of hav-
ing been cast up in inartistic form by
n careless earth. The tower has seemed
to rise awkwardly from the ground,
the critical have said. Why not give
it such an arrangement as would sug-
gest the idea of dropping from the
clouds? That would be pleasing fan
cy, and il the huge tower were lighted
ut regular intervals it would present
picture as Of brilliant creature of the |
clouds. and all the world would be lost |
IN admiration. These plans were sug-
gcsted when the exposition of 1900 were
under discussion, and they have been
adopted. A ladder from the clouds.
That was the idea. And with that the
esthetic taste was forced TO be sat
isfied.
The Eiffel tower has long been the
universal bed lamp of Paris. The great
the top would be sadly missed,
wen by those who have fought against
The continuance of the structure. That
eyer-swaying lantern is one of the won
lers of the French capital.-N. v Her

This is the solemn fact, and people
who throw obstacles in the way of the
pacifcation of the Philippines are aid

those Democrats who are of the same
opinion should show their patriotism
by voting the Republican ticket this
fall. It is the only way to make them

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-THE tour of
Colonel Barnett. the Republican nomi-
nee for state treasurer, has been
series of popular demonstrations of en-
thusiasm and as he proceeds in his
canvass the meetings get larger and
the ovations more enthusiastic. Many
of the scenes witnessed in Roosevelt's
whirlwind campaign for governor in
the Empire state are being repeated
here. The people, regardless of party,
are turning out to receive the young
soldier fresh from the Philippines. and
all indications are that many of them
will disregard politics when they vote
next month and Democrats and Repub-
licans alike will honor him with their
ballots. Colonel Barnett is not a spec
tacular orator. He does not play to
the galleries. but in straightforward,
matter of fact way he discusses the
issues and tells the people just what
he will do in the event of his election.

All good Republicans will bear this
in mind. This is going to be a great
year in national politics. The result
of the elections in the several states
next month will be watched not only
by the people of the United States, but
by the nations OF the world The issue
of the foreign policy of the Mckinley
administration is inseparably connected
with the canvass in every state in which
there is to be an election. and the re-
turns will be watched and reviewed
with particular reference to their bear
ing upon the national administration.
Nothing that has occurred in politics
since the last presidential election has
created as much talk as the proclama-
ton of Aguinaldo to his followers in
which he said:
"In America there is a great par
ty that insists upon the govern
mept recognizing Filipino inde-
pendence. We must show gratitude
and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should
pray to God that the great Demo-
cratic party may win the next pres
idential election"
This declaration from the ringleader
of the insurgents has attracted wide
spread attention, and Democrats who
are loyal to their government are dis
gusted with the position in which their
leaders have placed them and their
party. They will refuse to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall.
There is every reason why every
Republican should go to the polls ON

THE STATE ISSUES.
A Good Man to Administer the Office of
State Treasurer.

Republicans are not afraid to take
up the state issues or to discuss the
necessity for Governor Stones action
in cutting down the most liberal item
in the budget so as to make eXpendi-
lures in income balance each other"
says the Wilkesbarre Times. I'VE have
already been too liberal at the expense
of the state treasury, and if the action
of the governor will draw attention to
this subject he will have performed
a public service. Money gotten by in
direct taxation is apt to be lavishly
spent, and we know something of this
lavish expenditure by many of the
school boards and townships in our
own county.
Nor are we afraid to discuss the
management of the treasurers office.
Under the new laws there is no pos
sibility of wrong doing. and the method
of depository, together with the pay
ment of interest to be turned into the
treasury, makes everything so plain
that only reputable business man
