Daniel Leonard, middle-aged farmer of
Feeding Hills, Mass, three miles out of
Springfield is poorer by $4,000 than be was
Tuesday and richer by IS pounds of gilded
metal, which he supposed represented two
blocks of virgin gold. 1t is the old, old
game of the smooth city man with the gold
brick and the farmer fastening to be re-
ieved of his money in his anxiety to cap
ture rare bargain.
The proceedings were made more inter
esting for Mr.. Leonard by the addition of
real live Indian with long, black hair,
eagles plumes, buckskin suit with fringed
trappings. There was also a government
assayer, with a set of formidable instru-
ments and a certificate from the United
States government, besides a diploma
from a mining school. When the assayer,
who was presumably stranger to the man
with the bricks, showed a large red seal,
which he said he had received from Uncle
Sam, the very small vestige of doubt which
existed in the mind of the farmer vanished
and he fastened to the various banks in
which he had money deposited and drew
out $4,000 in large bills, which he gave the
stranger for the bricks. Mr.. Leonard be-
came suspicious Wednesday and told his
story to the police There is no clue to the
swindlers, who left town soon after relev-
ing Mr.. Leonard of his cash. -,

day morning The Fitzgeralds, with their
brother James and another man, had been

the train. James and the fourth man re-
ceived sufficient warning of the approach
of the train to jump to the inward bound
track and escape injury, but Patrick and
William were not so fortunate. Their
skulls were crushed and they were other
wise badly injured. The train was stopped
and the bodies removed to the freight house

Facts
for
Women

ANY article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for a
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for q time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact and the result is that there
is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in tho
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
PinlSham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should. and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
