DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: ! cannot
express my gratitude to you for
the good that Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has done
for me. have taken five bottles
of the Compound and two boxes
OF Liver Pills and feel better in
every respect. had suffered for
years with dropsy, caused by
the pressure of the water. had
the worst kind Of kidney trouble,
fainting spells. and could not
stand long at q time. also had
female weakness and the doctor
said there was tumor in my left
side. The pains I had to standwere
something dreadful. A friend
handed me little book of yours,
so got your medicine and it has
saved my life. | felt better now
from the first bottle. The bloat-
ing and the tumors have all gone
and | do not suffer any pain. -

Zone of the oldest traits In animal
nature" said an old time Illinois Gen.
tral engineer. ''is the desire of every
living thing to cross In front Of the
locomotive. At first 1t filled me with
wonder. and | used to lie awake nights
trying to explain it. Now it's grown
to be an old story with me.
What goes in front of the engine?
Why, everything. Let me see! I've
seen snakes-and I'm a sober man,
mind you-stick up their heads to see
what was making all the rumble along
the right of way and then deliberately
start to crawl across the rails. I've
seen many quail spring up along the
right of way. fly along just ahead of
the engine and then shoot across in
front Several times when I've been
running a mile a minute the engine
has struck these birds and killed them.
In the old days | used to jump deer
now and then, and the chances were
he'd cross the track every time. Cat
tie invariably do 1t until they have
learned better; SO do pigs and all do
nestle animals. Even chickens will
run fiuttering across.

animals to stock a farm and a men,

The Elections.

Yesterdays elections we're most favor
able to the republicans, and are pleas
ing forecaste of the results in 1900.
Judge Nash (rep.) is elected governor OF
Ohio by 10000 to 10000 larger plu-
rality than that given Gov. Bushnell two
years ago. Jones ind.) was probably the
closest third ever in an Ohio guberna-
torial election.
In New York, returns indicate that re-
publicans will have greater majority in
the next assembly than in the last.
Massachusetts is Republican by Co.
600.
Nebraska goes to the fusionist by l5,-
600, and Bryan is yet the silver leader
Taylor (rep) is probably elected In
Kentucky by from 1000 to $4,000, carry
ing the entire state ticket with him. The
legislature is in doubt.
Iowa is republican by 10000.
Maryland has gone back into the dem
ocratic fold by 10000.
South Dakota is republican by 10000
Republicans made large gains in Kan
sas.
Pennsylvania republican plurality is
not yet counted, but it's large enough.
Louisiana and Mississippi, of course
are democratic.
New Jersey is safely republican 10y
10000. Both branches of the Legislature
are republican.
Maybury (dem.) won in Detroit by
about 5000.

squadron, though the two monitors,
Monadnock and Monterey, will remain
at Manila as naval guard for that city
/ Captain Leary, naval governor OF
Guam, is getting rid OF the undesirable
element that he found on that island
when he took charge. When the island
was under control of Spain she used 1t
TO some extent as a penal colony, and
transported to it prisoners convicted of
crime in the Philippines. Captain Leary
reports to the navy department that he
has deported two OF these men, and that
more are to go. Several Spaniards who
had held office in Guam under the
Spanish reign have also been given trans
portation to Manila, and with them have
gone half dozen Catholic friars, whose
conduct tended to prevent the natives
from adopting the reforms that were be-
ing introduced for their benefit by the
American governor. They were not
expelled for religious reasons, but en-
tirely because of their conduct in oppos
ing orders and stirring up trouble.
In case the serious illness of Weep
dent Hobart should result fatally as seems
likely, he will be the sixth person elected
to that office since the adoption of the
constitution, to die before his term ex
pired. Both the vice presidents who
were elected for President Madison's two
terms died in harness, Geo. Clinton in
1912 and Elbridge Gerry in 1914. Wan.
r. King, who was elected with President
Pierce, died in 1853, and Henry Wilson,
who was elected when Grant got his
second term, died in 1875, and Thomas A.
Hendricks, who was elected with Presi-
dent Cleveland in 1884, died in 1885. In
case of fatal termination to Mr.. Ho
bart's illness, Senator Frye of Maine
would, by virtue of his position as presi-
dent pro tenn of the senate, discharge the
duties of the vice president, though he
would not be known as vice president,
nor would he succeed to the presidency
should President Mckinley die.

There is in Mr.. Ellis Yarnol's in
teresting volume of "reminiscences,
Wordsworth and the Coleridges," a
very amusing story of Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, whose thoughts were some
times too profound even for poets to
follow.
Wordsworth and Samuel Rogers had
spent the evening with Coleridge, and
as the two poets walked away to-
gether Rogers remarked cautiously:
81 did not altogether understand the
latter part of what Coleridge said"
81 didn't understand any of it,"
Wordsworth hastily replied.
"No more did L." exclaimed Rogers,
with sigh of relief.

Washington Letter.

(From the Northerner's Correspondent
Washington, ID. c., Nov. 7, 1899:-Ad-
miral Dewey is now in possession of the
fine home presented to him by popular
subscription, which only needs a mistress
to make it complete. Mrs. Hazen, whose
engagement to the admiral is announced,
is the widow of Gen. w. b. Hazen, chief
signal officer of the army, who died II
years ago. Her only son died about Is
months ago, from falling from his horse,
and she is still wearing mourning for him.
The admirals first wife was daugh-
ter of a former governor of Vermont
and died in 1872 He has one son,
who is in business in New York. Mrs.
Hazen is about 45 years of age, and has
long been prominent figure in Wash
ington society. AS the wife of the high
est ranking officer of the navy, Mrs.
Dewey will rank in precedence next to
the wife of the vice-president, and her
large fortune and the admiral's liberal
salary will enable them to entertain in
the most liberal manner, and as both are
found of society, the admiral's new home
is expected to be the scene of many bril-
liant events during the coming season.
Mrs. Hazen's income is about twice that
of the admiral.
The Philippine commission is holding
daily sessions at the Arlington hotei,
which Admiral Dewey's courtship has
not prevented him from attending. He
steadfastly declines to be drawn into any
expression of opinion concerning the
islands in advance of the handing in of
their preliminary report, which will
probably be Incorporated by the presi-
into his Forthcoming message.
In his forthcoming message President
Mckinley is expected to renew his re-
commendation that an appropriation be
made for a commission toinvestigate the
commercial and industrial conditions of
the Chinese empire. No radical change
in the policy of the United States with
respect to China Is contemplated by the
president. 1t is proposed to safeguard
American interests in every way. No dis
eliminating treatment of the American
citizens or American trade will be per-
mitted for an instant, and undoubtedly
the Inauguration of an exclusion policy
on the part of foreign governments pos
sessing spheres ofinhuence in China will
be strongly opposed by this government
However, such contingency, it is hoped,
will not occur.
1t has been stated that the strong re
inforcement of Admiral Watson's feet in
the Pacific is with view of making the
United States controlling factor in the
Chinese situation. However, it is said
at the navy department that the vessels
added to the feet at Manila were assign
ed to it upon the express recommenda-
tion of Admiral Dewey, for the effect it
would have on the instruction in the
Philippines through completely shutting
off further supplies of arms an

What Paper Costs.

Ladies who go shopping have little
idea of the cost of their trip, even in
such a minor detail as the cost of pa
per for the packages they have sent
home. A Baltimorean has recently
compared the weight of paper with
the food supplied to the purchaser In
one days purchases it is said that the
paper wrapping amounted to about 10
per cent Of the total. In list of sup
plies costing about $1.40 he found that
the paper which was weighed with the
provisions cost 14A cents.
