WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-"The President

was followed by a frantic rush. women i'm
the departments were hysterical, men hur-
rying on the street were nervous and doubt
ful. Offices of newspapers and news
agencies were quickly besieged. Verifica-
tion was promptly followed by false reports
of his death. The impact of the news was
so heavy that the people were dazed, men
and women were to be seen on the street
cars, trained newspaper men stood around
half stupefied, not knowing what to say or
do. Perhaps in all their lives before they
had never been shocked into a state of in
action.
At the White House the servants, who
had just returned from Canton, rocked ST.
lently on stiff-backed chairs and moaned
forth their grief and misery. The Presi-
dents household is a plain, old-fashioned
one. All know the master and mistress in
simple, domestic sense; the policemen in
front of the white portals trod their beats

say when questions were asked. Their
throats were choked with silent sobs.
In the war room Colonel Montgomery, the
signal officer, sat silently gazing at the
showing the points on the map where
American troops are stationed. He had no

could there be? At that time it was
thought the President was dying.
MESSENGER PENDEL.
An hour later an aged and trembling
feebly climbed the stairs to gain the latest
information from the telegraph room. This
was Thomas F. Pendel, seventy-six years
of age, appointed by Lincoln, and in serv-
ice at the White House since that day.
April %, thirty-six years ago, Lincoln was
leaving the house when the alert and
watchful Pendel said:
Good night. Mr.. President
Good night, Pendel." replied the Presi-
dent. You will be in bed when L return" &"
When Lincoln returned, it was as a
corpse ard Pendel held open the great
doors with eyes streaming with tears.
On July 2, twenty years ago President
Gayheld left the White House with buoyant
step and as he jauntingly stepped from the
door to the carriage said: Goodbye, Pen
del, take care of the folks while we are
away"
Goodbye, Mr.. President and a good
trip to you"

A Mothers Medlcine.

There Is never any qut StiOn of the
value of DR. Pierce's Favorite Pr scrip
ton in the minds of those who have
used it a preparative for maternity,
and for the reason that every woman
who has experienced maternity has Il
definite standard of comparison by
which she can measure the difference
in her condition With and without the
health-giviug aid of "Favorite Pre-
scription.n
For eXamule, Mrs S +. Rose, of Big
Otter Gay county, West Va, writes
DIR Pierce as follows: II am the mother
of five children and have been as high
as eight days il the d ctor's hands and
never less than two days at any time
until the birth of my last child. Then
/ had used two bottles of 'Favorite
Prescription and the doctor was with
me onlN TWO hours"
Every mother will appreciate the
force of that testimony. There is no
chance for error or forgetfulness in such
a case. 1t is a plain statement of tact;
one hundred and uintty-twO hours of
suffering reduced to two hours by the
u-e of "Favorite Prescription"
TINS shows what help "Favorite
Prescription" renders in extreme cases
In the ordiuary case of childbirth the
use of this medicine makes the baby's
advent practically painless. Thous-
ands of women testify TO this. Mrs
w. j. Kldder, of Hill Dale Farm,
Enosbutg, VT, says that she was in
fnst-failing health and with The trial of
motherhood before her, when she began
the use of "tavOrte Prescription. "
The result was, to quote the exact words
of her letter: Il began to improve inn
mediate y; my health became excel
lent and | could do all my own work.
| had short easy confinement and
have healthy baby boy"
DR. Pit rce's Favorite Prescription by
its remarkable tome properties, puts
the system on a basis of sound health
Nature does the rest. Nervousness,
sleeplessness, morning sickness, loss of
appetite, dependency and anxiety are
all cured 10y the use of 'Favorite Pre-
scription." 1t gives great physical
Wig and muscular elasticity, which
explains the practically painless birth
hour. 1t also induces free flow of the
nutritlve secretions so that the mother
is abundantly able to nurse and nourish
her babe
Is it any wonder that many a CRATE
full woman's letter ends in terms SINH
lar to that of Mrs j. w. G.. Stephens,
of Mia, Northumberland county, Va,
who writes: 81 unhesitatingly advise
eXpectant mothers to use DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription"
