"DEAR FBIEND-A year ago was q
great sufferer from female weakness.
My head ashed all the time and would
get SO dizzy and have that all gone
feeling in the stomach and was so
nervous and restless that did not
know what to do with myself.
MY food did me no good and I had q
bad case of whites. Iwrote to you and
after taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound as directed, 1 can
truly say that feel like a new woman
and cannot tell you how grateful I ana
to you.
81 have recommended it to all my
friends and have given it to my
daughter who is now getting along
splendidly. May you live many years
to help our suffering sisters. Mrs. c.

announcement !

Itgives me great pleasure
to announce to the people
of Hartford county that l
have purchased the Gen.
eral Merchandise business
of }. u. Rouse, Oh Main st.,
in Bel Air, and will begin
business July list.
l am very grateful to my
friends for the kind greet
ings and expressions OF en-
couragemenC l have al
ready received, and it will
be my greatest ambition
to so conduct this business
rs to merit continuously
not only their patronage
but also sustain their re-
spect and confidence.
1t will be my aim to
make this a thoroughly up
to-date country store, car
rying a line of goods ade-
quate to all the needs of
my customers, and selling
them at such a price as to
assure Inc their patronage.
After an experience of
three years in a similar
business at Delta, Pa,
where l sold absolutely for
cash, l am so convinced of
the advantage OF a cash
business to both merchant
and customer that l shall
SELL EXCLUSIV Willy
FOR CASH. The cash sys-
TEN has onlyone advantage
to me, l get all my money
and get it promptly, at the
same time it has this dis
advantage, that people in
all circumstances buy more
when they can have it
charged than where they
pay the dollar down..
In addition to the many
advantages which / am
sure all my customers will
receive from doing a clean
cash business In an up-to-
date manner, l shall en-
deavor to honestly and
fairly reduce the price of
goods to all, even to q great
er extent than che losses
necessarily incurred in \
credit business.
Trusting that my efforts
to do business after
methods that l believe af-.
feet both merchant and
customer mutually may
meet with the approval OF
the people of this commun-
ity, and that / may have u
liberal share of their pa
tronage, / am
Respectfully,

A ROUGH EXPERIENCE.

Asylum,

In commenting IN a recent case where
a sane person was released by the

lowing story: about 30 years ago a
lawyer of prominence got into a con-
troversy on this very point with an
equally well known judge. The law
yer maintained that it was the easiest
thing in the world to get a sane per-
son confined in an asylum. The Judge.
while admitting that it might be pos
sible, held that it would be very diff
cult and that the difficulties would in
crease in proportion to the position
in society of the intended victim. a

presents no obstacle said the lawyer.
Why turning suddenly to his COM
p~anion, Il could even get you locked
up in an asylum if I wanted to- Non
sense answered the judge, and then
he laughed aloud at the absurdity of
the idea and the discussion for the
nonce was dropped.
"It occurred on a railroad train,
which. stopping a short time later az
a station. the lawyer suggested to the
judge that they stretch their legs or
the platform. They had not got ten
suddenly hurled himself upon the
judge and at the same time cried
aloud for help. A half dozen bystand-
ers rushed to the lawyers aid, and
before the judge realized what had
happened he was held by a dozen
hands. All right; thank you.' said
the lawyer TO the men who had come
to his aid. Tie his hands behind his
back, for he's dangerous This was
too much for the judge. I'm Judge
So-and-So,' he began with dignity,
felt a rope on his wrist and his self
possession deserted him and he fairly
raved at the indignities that were be-
ing heaped upon him. He resorted to
language not usually heard from the
bench or employed by the judiciary.
But the more he said the less effect
it seemed to have on his captors.
"Finaly he paused for breath and
the lawyer in a quiet voice said: Are
you satisfied now that / was right in
the argument?' Satisfied began the
judge, Historically. satisfied But
he got no further. Yes. d-n you'll

his colors.

abled him to get upon the train just

"In the town where they had
stopped was the state lunatic asylum
and the advent of ~lunatics was a part
of the towns daily routine. Hence
the alacrity with which the Judge was
seized. But it was a pretty rough
object ~lesson.' he complained when he
had recovered sufficient equanimity
to enter into conversation with his
companion. Perhaps. but it proved
