herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, NJ, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia e. Pinlsham's Vegetable Com
pound, and the guiding advice of Mrs
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.
No other medicine has such a record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is "just as good" Women who
want a cure should insist upon getting
Lydia E. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Com

Anyway, write letter to Mrs. Pink

WOMEN OF ICELAND ATE PRO-
ORESSIVE.
In the Capitol of the Island There
is a FIourishing Club Composed En-

Iceland has woman's club. This
we learned from the young girl from
iceland. travelling with her aunt, whom
we met in the villa at Menton-on-the-
Riviera. Her home was in Reykjavik,
says Harper's Bazaar. Reykjavik
means Iceland, as London means Eng
land and Paris France To use the
vocabulary of other capitals, Reykjavik
has its smart set. II has a 400. which
means some fifty or so. Its aristocracy
ps only that given by intelligence and
cultivation. A farmers boy, with
education, can look forward to a So
cial position equal to that of the gov
ernor's son. Woman's life in Iceland
is what specially interested me. 1t
would not be wise to generalize on the
women of a country from a single
point of view, even though mine was
that Of professors daughter found
out that she and most OF the girls
among her friends were educated by
governess. Studies were done in Ice
landic. but nearly every educated cer-
son, especially of late years, learns
English. Nearly all the Iceland girls
are exquisite needlewomen. If woman
is going to clothe herself in a standard
costume, like uniform, 1 find theirs
charming. For dress occasions the
gown is Of the finest black cloth beau
tifully embroidered in gold thread. The
headdress, always worn with smart
gowns, is of lace over white satin.
Even more attractive than this cos
tune, however, I thought a second one
belonging to the young girl. 1t was a
straight gown of black velvet, slightly
rounded at the neck and embroidered
there and at the bottom with a Greek
pattern. The whole had a Byzantine
effect, especially with the flowing
sleeves lined with white satin and the
beautiful girdle of silver with a long
pendant which ended in a Greek cross
Only two costumes are needed in Ice
land. For simple dresses women wear
a full skirt and plain jersey, with fiat
headdress with tassel on the left side
held by a gold ornament. The Iceland
jewelry is quaint and elegant in the
extreme. Every girl must have a sill
yer belt and a collection of pretty pins.
Woman is an important feature in Ice
land life. The women of Reykjavik
have a club known as the Thorvaldsen
society. 1t is not especially an artistic
club. 1t looks after the poor, keeps up
sewing school, visits the hospital,
carries on various philanthropic enter
prises. Then certain OF the Reykjavik
women have united all the women of
the island into a very interesting as

sheet published in Icelandic in Reykja-
ivik shown me by my friends was a
weekly or a monthly paper, but know
tina it was got up and issued regularly
by women, that its editors and all the
contributors were women. 1t is the
only paper of the kind l know Of except
the Fronde in Paris, with which, OF
course, it cannot be compared in i'm

An ADJ. Woman Ruler.

The Begun of Bhopal, who died re-
Gently, was the distinguished woman
who twice ruled over this East Indian
State. Her name was Nawab Shah
Jehan, and she was the daughter of
another able woman, Sikander Begun,
who filled the throne of Bhopal with
conspicuous success for many years.
When her father died in 1874 Shah
Jehan was only years old, but at the
age of 10 she was proclaimed ruler
of Bhopal, her mother, ISLANDER Be
gum, becoming regent. So great was
the love and veneration of the daugh-
ter for her illustrious mother that in
1869 she abdicated the throne in her
favor and assumed the position of heir
apparent On her mothers death she
assembled the throne for the second
time, in 1S6S.-New York Press.

Mr.. Havelock Ellis finds that most
of our greatest geniuses have been
born in April and fewest in January.
The numbers born in the first, second
and fourth quarters of the year are
fairly equal, but there is a marked
deficiency in the third quarter. The
ordinary birthrate of England and
Wales is higher in the first and sec
ond, but lower in the third and fourth
quarters. About 10 per cent of the
geniuses were delicate in childhood,
but these often developed into healthy,
vigorous, long-lived men. Bruce, the
traveller, was a typical case. Very
delicate in early life, he was man of
huge proportions, athletic power and
iron constitution. Over IA per cent
had lost one or both parents at the
age of ten.

The campaign against John Doe,
Richard Roe and Jane Stiles, alleged
fictitious personages who figure prin-
cipally in divorce cases in Connecticut,
mainly as cover for the correspond
ent in such suits, was begun in the
Superior Court, New Haven, by Judge
Wheeler, during an exparte hearing in
case in which John Doe was named
as correspondent, says the Hartford
Daily Times. When the complaint
had been read, with John Doe named
as the defendants friend, Judge
Wheeler informed counsel for the
plaintiff that he would not accept the
complaint with John Doe as part of it.
Then he said that hereafter while he
was on the bench of the Superior
Court he would not under any circum-
stances recognize John Doe in any
such suits. He stated that if the CO.
respondent was known, the name of
such individual should be entered on
the complaint, and If unknown, then
the papers should announce that fact.
He had become tired of the John Doe

The Man By the Roadside.
nv WILL s. GIDLEY.

Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
A man suffering from half dozen
gunshot wounds lay dying by Ken
lucky roadside man sriZzled and
gaunt, and upon whose lean face was
the bronze of fifty summers and many
a jagged seam and scar.
A rabbit poked its nose inquiringly
through the bushes as he lay there,
and then at a sudden movement from
the dying man turned and scuttled
swiftly away.
Then a big blue-bottle fly came buzz
zing around the helpless man, welter-
ing In his own life-blood beside the
rude mountain trail, and after five
minutes Of laundering and humping
against his battered features finally
settled down on the raw edge of
wound, just below the matted hair on
his forehead and began patiently drill
ing into the sensitive flesh.
The exquisite pain seemed to revive
the mortally wounded sufferer and
awaken his instinct of self-preserva
ton. His right hand stirred by his
side, and then crept slowly-slowly
but surely-up toward his blood
stained forehead
gnarled, elaw-like hand-until it was
on level with the demon fly probing
into his wound; and then with a sud
den movement he brought it down,
crushing the life out of his tormentor.
"Ha, ha! 1 got yeh, did II" he
chuckled hoarsely. "Wush l could
reach out an mash ole Cy Grandy
under my hand same ez l did thet fly!
I cd die happy then. Yaas, I'd be
willin' to go to hell if l cd send Cy
thar fust-the treacherous, cowardly
skunk"
The wounded man rolled over and
made an effort to rise to a sitting posi-
ton, but the attempt was a failure.
The sneakin' ole divil has got me
fixed fer good an all this time. I'll
be a dead man inside of two hours"
he went on, huskily. "Yaas, I'll be
dead man, an ole Cy Grandy II be
goin' round braggln' bout how he
wiped me out. D. him! eff I had
my horse an was able to ride I'd fol-
Ter him up an settle matters with him

to do it. I've got lead enough in me
to kill an elephant Ole Cy meant to
make a sure thing of it. That bullet
in my back alone would've fixed me. 1t
must've struck the muscle that works
my legs, I reckon, 'cuz l hain't had no
use Of 'em sence 1t hit me. But my
mind Is clear an my right arm is all
right yet, an'-an' I'd give the rest of
my life, sech as 1t is, fer jest one more
chance at the man who shot me down
an flung me here in the bushes to die
like q dog!"

was a smile on his face-the crafty,
vindictive smile of a savage lying in
wait for his prey or gloating over the
suffering of his victim tied to the
torture-stake.
A little brown bird alighted on a
twig above his head and began cheerily
singing, but with wave of the hand
and an impatient oath he frightened
it away.
Then buzzard wheeled lazily over
head, scanning with hungry eye the
earth below, and as the wounded man
looked up and saw it he broke into
sardoRic laughter.
'Ha, ha, ha! Yeh seen ole Cy Gran
dy out with his gun an yeh thought
he'd left some grub fer yeh along the
road behind him, did yeh? Well, yeh
got fooled tibet time. Yer dinner amt
quite ready fer yeh yet, an 'twon't be
till ole Cy gifts back"
He raised his revolver to a level with
his right eye and squinted steadily
along its shining barrel For fully a
minute he held it thus, and then
dropped 1t TO his side with the remark:
1AoAh Oil lCA VIC CT SICduJ 6Z ever Ter

Lord in His mercy an goodness is to
send Cy Grandy back here to git his
deserts-an' send him quick, before the
effecks of tibet whisky works off an
my stren'th begins to give out. Got to
save it all now fer the final clinch."
A half hour passed during which
the wounded man neither stirred nor
spoke.
His eyes were half closed, but all his
senses were on the alert.
Suddenly the stiffness was broken by
the sound of a horses hoofs Gathering
on the hard mountain roadway and
rapidly approaching the spot where lay
the wounded man.
Instantly he was all attention. He
turned his face toward the point from
which the horse was evidently coming,
and all his faculties wrought up to the
highest tension were strained to catch
the slightest sound.
Nearer and nearer came the ap-
preaching footsteps, until finally they
halted near the spot where the man
and the pistol lay waiting.

through these bushes
Slowly, painfully he raised himself
on his left elbow. The exertion sent
the red life-blood gushing forth afresh
from the gaping wound in his back,
but he needed it not. His whole mind
was intent upon the movements of his
enemy. His right hand firmly grasped
the stock of the heavy revolver, with
his ready forefnger grimly caressing
the trigger; his lips were pressed
tightly together; his eyes cleaned
brighter, more balefully than ever, and
his whole attitude was one of intense,
nervous expectancy.
The waiting man heard the horse
man spring to the ground with swag-
ger and an oath.
Then heavy footsteps approached the
spot where he lay, the bushes parted
and bloated. rough bearded face with
bloodshot eyes appeared in the open
ing.

She was young, and he was fair. It
is generally the other way, but it was
this way this time. The moon came
out from behind tree, but, scared at
the great freckles on her nose which it
revealed, it leaped with a shudder into

the tip of her parasol-which she never
left anywhere except when she could
collar a better one to take in it's place
into the yielding sand and yawned
slightly, glancing at him with a far
away look in her skim-milk blue eyes.
He ground the toe of his shoe more
savagely into big log that the shift
ing sea had thrown at his feet, and
yawned emphatically. She looked at
him as if about to speak, but stopped.
They had known and liked" each
other for long time, but now Is
she too indignant at something in his
conduct to address him? If so, why
does he not act the manly part and
beg her forgiveness? 1t is sad to see

spirit. At last he speaks: why on

There is a well-known young man

story of a famous bit of golf playing

week. His record is 1877 or thereabouts.
and every time he makes the round of
the course his score grows worse and.
he gets more vehement in giving ex-
preston to what is uppermost in his
mind. Last Wednesday before he
started on the course one of the young
Every time you swear put clod or
chip or a piece of gravel in your

noon. Just as the sun was sinking in
the west a weary young man with
bullying pockets staggered into the club
house. His friends had forgotten him
and supposed he had gone home. AS
he entered the door he emptied coat
pocket and pebbles rolled all over the
reception room floor. That's the plain

pocket he dumped 100 pebbles which
stood for a stronger number of the
purely masculine vocabulary. Other
pockets produced still more pebbles
and clods which represented other bad
words. His friends tried to call halt,
but he persisted in littering up the
floor, remarking: This amt cir
cumstance. Just wait till you see the
wagonload of oats the caddy and the
teamster are bringing" This story is
told on the authority of friends of the
artistically profane young man.-From
