die Of May, 1898, while I was working
OUT Of the New York Office Of the Sc
cret service division, received direc-
lions to go TO Montreal by first train
and ascertain what arrangements had
been made for operations during his
absence abroad by Senior Polo, who had
been minister from the Spanish court
at Washington.
The next night about 9 o'clock ar

Overweight Nerves.

As soon as a woman's nerves become excited by some
feminine disorder, she loses control of her speech.
She has no patience with anybody or anything.
The ones she loves the best are the ones to whom she
talks the meanest.
Trihes light as air drive her almost frantic.
She is worse than crazy, because she knows what she
Is doing and can't help it.
She doesn't have hyster:a and doesn't have fainting
spells.
She is nervous, horribly nervous.
Does she get sympathy Oh, yes, she gets sympathy
for awhile, but she acts so outrageously that everybody
keeps out of her way as much as possible. After a while
they begin to think she's malicious and could do better if
she tried real hard.
She has turned her best friends against her.
This woman is sick with about the most discouraging
sickness women can have, and there is a person who
understands her case better than any one else in the
world. That person is Mrs. Pinkham. The nervousness
comes from some arrangement Of the feminine organs,
and is constantly fed and made worse by the constantly
developing disease. Female diseases never get better of
themselves. They must have proper treatment. Ordinary
physicians do not know how to grapple with these dis
eases Of women: Out of the hundreds of thousands Of
tried her advice or her medicine until they had exhausted
the skill Of their own physician, sometimes of several
physicians.
Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
prompt and free to all suffering women.
You may not know that your nervousness comes from
female troubles. Your doctor may not know it. He may
tell you it does not but does he cure youl Does he help
you anya Mrs. Pinkham will tell you the truth about
yourself, and you'll believe her. Don't throw your life's
happiness away and make yourself unlovable, when little
dlisent heed 70 Mrs. Pinkham,s advice will drive away

has helped.

call of States began for the purpose of
making nominations for the vice-presi-
dency. Great confusion prevailed and
very few of the delegates were aware OF
what was going on until Alabama and
Arkansas had been passed, and California
was called. Then the rough form and
face of Senator White emerged from the
Californians and in stentorian tones de-
manded to know what was going on end
that the asles be cleared of the disorder
ly intruders. When the chairman le-
sponded that California was being called
for nominations, Senator White announc-
cd that California followed Arkansas.
And Arkansas yields to Illinois, TO
place in nomination Adlai e. Stevenson
of Illinois, shouted Jeff Davis, the Lem
ocratic candidate for Governor o. ar
kansas standing on a chair and receiv-
ing a cheer for his mention Of Stevenson.
Now all business was suspended and tfe
confusion had become so overpowerlng
that the call of the secretaries was inau-
dible above the roar. The police and ser
geants- arms struggled vainly to dis
possess the mob, which was nov well
nigh in control of the floor. Men fought
to retain their places and some eX> tlTg
encounters which at times threatened to
multitude. 1t took fifteen minutes tn re-
store some semblance of order and then
the spokesman for Illinois, Representa-
tive James Williams presented the name
of Stevenson.
