Il found your medi-
cine a blessing to me
and my family

There are women who feel something
like grudge against the children, who,
one after another rob their mother of her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child to her own loss. Women
accept it as part of the obligation of
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child is a
new Joy and fresh happiness. 1t isn't
the children that steal the mothers
strength. 1t is the unnatural drains and
pains which weaken her.
Every woman who has used DR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has found in it the
one thing woman has waited for. 1t
stops the drains, heals inflammation and
liberation, makes the baby's advent a
pleasure and his life a blessing. No

A man lies fiat on his back, bound so that

swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed Is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pa and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of
dreadful death is a type of large class of I'M

coils of an octopus, have lost all hope free

the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. If so. like the man in Poe's

the disease has progressed SO far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the hearts ac-

last In America he visited Philadel-
phia; and, while collecting statistics
relating TO the State prisons of Penn
sylvanla, he was referred to the head
of the Prisons Board. Mr.. Cadwallader
Blddle. Before calling, Lord Randolph
fell into the hands of wags Of the Union
League Club.

one OF these merry testers; ITS not
Cadwallader Biddle, but Bidcallader

Don't mind what he says, Lord
Randolph" exclaimed another; tho
real name Is Wadbllader Caddle."
A third member took the EXCHANGED
lor OF the Exchequer aside and impart-
cd to him in confidence that he was be-
ing gulled.
THE actual name" conhded his false
friend, '1s Didbollarder Widdle."
And when Lord Randolph drove to
the Prisons Board that afternoon he
WAS so much upset that he stammered:

The Beers Were Ready.

NJ. De Long, the manager of the dyna-
mite factory at AIodderfontein in the
Iransvaal, has returned to France and
has been interviewed by the representa-
tives of several of the Paris journals. He
says that the British government can have
no idea OF the vast extent Of the prepare
tions that the Beers have been quietly
making for years with the realization that
another struggle with the fun force OF
Great Britain was inevitable. Even should
the Beers be driven out of Natal, he points
out that no British army could ever hope
to enter the Transvaal and survive.
Since the war began, he says, heavy ar
tillery that had been carefully stored
away, has been brought forth He as
serts that the forts at Pretoria and Jo-
hannesburg are as strong as any fortresses
in the world, and have within the last
month been rendered absolutely impreg-
nable. Edelberg alone could hold its own
with % men against 1000 assailants, par
ticularly in the rainy season, which has
just begun, causing unfordable streams to
spring into existence.
NJ. DE Long states that there are about
6OOO we'll trained German volunteers in
the Boer army who have not yet been al
lowed to go to the front. He adds that
the governments of the republics are show
ing a great economy of strength and have
not used third of their military re-
sources
