annual tribute in return for Spain's
protection. These people did not
want to be conquered by Aguinaldos
forces. either, and negotiated with the
United States for protection against
him: and a treaty to that effect was
made witt them.
The majors conclusion is that
Agunaldo's government is not in any
true sense a republic. a representative
government, or Il government author
lied by the people who are governed:
put that the United States government
does stand much closer to them today
because nine-tenths OF them are in
favor of it. and that in time, as o
as the civil is able to succeed the mil
itary rule. the United States will give
them a system of government far
more representative and satisfactory
to them than the one which Aguinaldo
controls.

about the time he enlisted for service

1898, congress passed an act which
held in substance that the time of SER

to all intents and purposes to resi-

service should be credited to a volun-

a few words. Mr.. Short settled upon
the land in question on April %, 1898,

Woman,s
u Mistake

It is a well-known fact that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more wome than any other
remedy. It therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often a fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon u medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
a he only one best. This is not a
mere assertion, but is a positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
,ence, and you will make no mistake.
,Don't experiment with your health,
4ut take a medicine that you kn0av is
good, and is backed by such letters as
llaSa tn Mrs p;pGbo~.

Novel Suit of Memphis Woman AEains'

NoveI Suit of NJ phis Woman AEains'
Street Car Company.
Tie Supreme Court will be called
Ipou at Is next sitting at Jackson To
look into the peculiar case Of MIS-
Crutchfield W. the Memphis Stiec'
hallway.
Mrs. Crutchfieid sues the street Ia
way company for $500 damages and
the cOmplainants maintain that tncy
have such a cause as entitle them to =
trial on the merits of the case.
1t is related that on the days of trans
action. Mrs. Crutchfeld. who lives in
Fort Pickering. having occasion t
come uptown. found that she had no
other money than a so bill. She tried
TO get this money changed before She
boarded the street car. She went L.
the butcher with whom she deals in the
neighborhood and offered to pay Il bill
there if the butcher could change the
bill, but she could not get it changed.
So she boarded the street car with tn.
bill. 1t Is related on behalf of the com
plainan that she explained to the Goa
ductOr the circumstances accou. ..n-
for the necessity for offering him 80
large bill and asked him for a transf
er at Beal street. They were not able
To settle the trouble about the bill until
they came to Madison street when the
conductor got off the car to get the bill
changed. 1t is asserted that he went to
some trouble to get the bill changed
entirely to nickels. He got at the first
bank. so it is asserted by the complain
ant. $40 in nickels and a SO bill, and
then went to another bank and got the
$40 bill changed to nickels. He carried
these small coins 10 the passenger ana
rendered them TO her.
1t Is related that Mrs. Crutchfield ask
I'd for time in which TO count the
money, but the conductor demurred
and the other passengers protested
against the delay, so that Mrs. Crutch
field said the car might go to the end Of
the line and she would count the money
en- route. 1t is related that after she
had counted the money over once she
concluded that she was S1.1J short and
upon making demand for the balan g.
tn" conductor handed it over to her.
She had not yet finished counting the
money when the car reached the end of
the Main street line and turned for tn
round trip. Then the conductor de
manded n second fare from her, where
at she protested. and after some argu-
ment. when the conductor declared
that she would have to pay another
nickel or get off. she got off the car.
These being the averments of the law
suit from the complainant's standpoint.
II is intended to 20 to the Supreme
Court To ascertain whether or not such
circumstances do not constitute cause
for action.-M Memphis Scimeter
