charged From Custody.
A few years ago q young man dressed
In tattered clothes was locked up at the
Desplaines street police station charged
with disorderly conduct. Though his
clothes were torn and his hair unkempt
made his appearance look like that of
q tramp, he was not. In the eyes Of the
policeman who arrested him for doing
nothing he looked like an ordinary beg
gar.
He was taken to the police station re-
gardless Of his pleadings and put in q
dingy cell, where he spent nearly two
days, and had 1t not been for the police
captain he might have stayed there
longer.
1t was while the other prisoners were
being tried in court and the police cap
tain was sitting in his private office
looking over reports that sweet tenor
voice was heard singing my Old Ken
lucky Home" The moment the sweet
notes, which were coming from the
,cellroom, struck the ears of the police
captain he listened moment and drop
ped the reports he was reading on his
desk until the song sung was finished.
When the song was finished the cap
tain ordered the prisoner to be brought
before him. When the singer, who was
the shabby-dressed young man. appear

asked the young man to repeat the
song, which he did.
When he had finished the officer look

man, you have q good voice." When
the captain asked him where he lived
and what he did he bowed his head as
he in sorrow and refused to answer.
When the police Official learned under
what charge he was being held ! pris-
oner he ordered his release. The sing.

Women,
Ren,en,ber
This
Fact

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
you are communicating with a woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills is greater than that
of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles TO q man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
nodesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman. whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and nswered by women only.
This is positive fact-not mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 100, 900 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some of the cases we refer to:

tried to construct a sound-money-free-
silver platform and nominate a pair
of Notwithstanding candidates.
The two things will not mix. One is
right and the other is wrong; and no
amount of word Juggling, wool pull
ing, hedging or evasion can deceive the
people. Those who sincerely believe
in the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without
awaiting the aid or cooperation of any
other nation on earth, should vote for
Bryan, for he is pledged to that very
thing. All other citizens of the Re-
public, no matter what their previous

financial heresy, which, if adopted,
would plunge the country into a state

Since being here he has cancelled
the HUT judgment of $1,000, reduced
the second mortgage from $4,000 to

it paid up promptly as it became due,
paid and reduced many minor claims
and went to the last annual confer
ence with the largest financial report
ever made by any pastor of the church,
reporting for all purposes, $13,425.
He has already instituted penny

reading room, and plans are laid for
fitting out the basement for use as a

DR.. Carey is ably seconded in all
