also to do some of my other work, too.

of my little boy and my husband, and

leave them behind; so one day 1 was
looking over my papers and found a
little book in which used to keep my
husbands accounts. I read it and

at all. I used always to have head
aches previous to the monthly period,
and such pain that would roll on the
floor in agony. This sometimes would
occur every two weeks, and would be
very weak afterward. I was in pain all
over. My feet would slip from under
me when would try to go across the
loom, and could not walk any dis
lance without being in pain. Words
cannot express what suffered in two
months. After had taken one bottle
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

for dear life.
On the third day out, which is the
proper time to begin Irritation, pro-
yided the weather is all right, found
that the other twenty-four men were
of my way of thinking. They had Sc
lected Mrs. Warner as the belle of the
cabin. and were ready and anxious to
enter upon their "labors."
1t was easy enough to bring about
an introduction on shipboard. If you
can't find a mutual acquaintance. then
introduce yourself. When I got ready
to fall in love with Mrs. Warner L
walked I'D to her, handed in my card
and a few compliments, and the thing
was done. She was pleased to say that
she was glad to make my acquaintance
and an hour later I was in love.
Mrs. Warner was as well bred as she
was handsome. She asked no ques-
lions about wife or children. She
didn't express surprise that l had liv-
ed to the age of forty without having
fallen in love before. She might have
shown some little doubt in her look or
speech when I said that l was going
out to Australia to sell out my four
sheep ranches and return to England
with 100000 and marry and settle
down, but nothing occurred to alarm
me. At the end of couple of hours
| felt that l had won her and there
could be no sort of doubt in her mind
that she had me hooked fast. l walk
ed about knowing that twenty-four
men envied and hated me and called
me names behind my back, but not for
long. That same evening a young
doctor who was going out to the Col
ony got some one to introduce him

him arm as lovingly as she had hung
to mine. Later on found the doctor

right on the spot, and when had
been admitted to his cabin I didn't
lose a minute in saying:
"Sir, I desire you to understand
right here and now that l am as good
as engaged to Mrs. Warner, and
want no more of this lolly-pop bust
ness
IF you are engaged to her she
doesn't know it," he replied after re-
covering from his surprise.
Don't give me no back talk! The
Idea of pill-garlic like you making
up to a lady like her is downright
impudepce, and tell you so to your

The evidence that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton makes weak women
strong and sick women
well is Overwhelming.
More than that: it makes
old women new. Women
who have been prema-
turely aged by pain are
restored to youthfulness.

WHAT SHALL ] DO ?

How many a woman
has cried out, =" What shall
I do to get relief from this
intolerable agony?" The
best answer to that ques-
ton comes from some one
who realizes that Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was made to cure GER
tain diseases and not cer-
tain women.
In plain words, Favor
tie Prescription !" regulates
the periods, dries weaken
ing drains, heals infiam-
nation and liberation,
and cures female weak
ness. 1t takes 10 account
of women, except as the
victims of the disease, be-
cause every woman is ex-
actly alike with respect to
organic structure. If ga

liberation in one woman,
it will cure it in any
woman. That was the

Arrust SIN asher's Holiday.

"The democratic party" said Mr..
Bryan in his indianapolis speech of
acceptance, ''has no desire to dis
courage industry" Mr.. Bryan's re-
peated assertions of sympathy with
the farmer and the workingman are
we'll known. Yet as the direct result
of Mr.. Bryan's efforts Nebraska is
threatened with the loss of its second
largest manufacturing industry using
raw material from the farm.
In 1887 residents of Nebraska City
organized the Argo Starch company
and built factory. The concern has
been continuously prosperous. For
many years it has given steady en-
ployment to nearly 300 persons, paid
them each year from S25O.OO0 to
100000 in wages, and bought each
year 100000 bushels of corn from
the neighboring farmers.
In 1899 the Argo company sold its
plant for cash to the United Starch
company, which, in turn, sold it to
the National Starch company. The
Argo and United companies divided
their assets and were dissolved. Their
shareholders had made good profit
and were perfectly satisfied. The fac.

tory continued in operation, is still
working with full force, and neither
its employees nor the farmers who
sell it corn make any complaint.
But Mr.. Bryan was anxious to give
the country ian object lesson" So
he stirred his friend Smythe, the
populist attorney general of Nebras-
ka, to begin action against the Ma
tional Starch company as trust. If
this suit should succeed the Argo
factory would be closed, 300 people
thrown out of work, and the neigh
boring farmers deprived of an assur-
ed market for 100000 bushels of
corn each year. Ruin stares Nebras-
ka City in the face, for one third of
its population is directly interested
in the starch factory. Consequently,
the people of that unfortunate town
raised such a clamor that on Wednes-
day evening Mr. Bryan went there
to excuse and defend his attack up
on them.
He told them they ought to be
glad to sacrifice their property and
employment to the cause of trust
smashing, and rebuked them for de-
Tending "trust." Then he consoled
them with this promise: "If, by the
aid of the people of this county and
state, am made president, 1 will do
all 1 can to dissolve the starch trust
and leave the Algo an independent
Nebraska City company" He did
not explain how he could compel a
dissolved corporation to resume bust
ness, or how he could force its for
mer shareholders to operate factory
which they sold at profit and were
paid for more than year ago. That
the people of Nebraska City permit
ted MIR. Bryan to speak without any
interruption proves them to be strict
ly law abiding and courteous.
The policies of former presidential
candidates have been assailed as
tending to destroy industry and throw
men out of work. Mr.. Bryan is the
first presidential candidate to take
direct measures to deprive farmers Of
an assured market and to throw 300
working men and women into the
street.
The American people have in Mr..
Bryan's attempt to ruin Nebraska
City an "object lesson" in his love
for the farmer and the laborer which
they should not forget. For such a
deliberate assault upon the work and
wages of hundreds of people, merely
to make a trust smasher's holiday,
recent industrial history affords no
parallel.-Exchange.
