ANECDOTES OF FORREST.

Why the Confederate Leader Declin-
 F ed to Correct His Spelling.
 General Forrest of the Confederate army" said an ex-Confederate officer. was a military genius of the first rank. Without previous training or any developed taste in that direction he went into the army from place as overSeer and attained commanding rank absolutely by merit Rough and uncOuth at first, lie became in later life cOurtly gentleman whom it was a pleasure to meet and to know. 1 re- member on oEo occasion some time aft er the wa: coming up the Potomac with him I wanted to introduce a young woman who was under my es- cort. He said lie was 1lattered by the request, but that he could not meet her unless she knew perfectly we'll who he was and that he was not held in high esteem by the northern people chiefly on account of the Fort Pillow affair. assured him that she was full ly apprised of his record, and then he went with me to meet her, and she told me later she had never met a more at tractive man.
 Earlier in his career - that is, be- fore he had learned to spell-he was asked by young lady to put his auto graph in her album. He wrote his name as requested and under it his title, ma jor general of calvary as he spelled it. The lady called his attention to it in a very delicate way, and he looked at it q moment. and with a full conscious ness that he was lacking in that regard and with a beautiful and scarcely to be expected humility he said, Let it stand to show how ignorant General Forrest iS.' There are not many men who would have done that, I imagine, and it was the little things that showed the mans true greatness. New York Sun.

The DszG
 Of Mothers

What suffering frequently results from a mothers ignorance or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughter
 Tradition says woman must sui fer" and young women are so taught. There is little truth and great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treat ment. and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- tion: but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, and secure from a woman the most efficient advice with out charge.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS
WONDERFUL CURE IN A STUBBORN
 CASE OF RHEUMATISM
The Evidence is Furnished by the See retary of the Board of Trade of WeIIsburg, New York, and
 Cannot be Doubted


 The popular secretary of the Wells burg, N. Y., Beard of Trade is MT. w. J. Dalton, and his statement to re- porter regarding one of the most i'm portant events of his life carries with it the greatest weight. It is unusual for a person to be afflicted from child hood with rheumatism, but it is even wonderful that there is rem edy so exactly suited to the treatment of this stubborn disease that one hun dred doses were sufficient to eradicate it in a case of twenty years standing. The proof that such remedy is within the reach of all rheumatic sufferers is found in MT. DaltOn's own words. He says:
 "I had been troubled with rheuma- tism all my life, even when a boy. It attacked me in the legs, arms and shoulders. The pain in the latter was particularly severe. I, of course, took medicine for it, but did not obtain per manent relief. One day about three years ago, while reading a newspaper, 1 saw an advertisement of Dr. Will jams Pink Pills for Pale People and determined to give them trial. 1 had taken but three boxes of the pills when the trouble, which had been my affiic- ton from childhood, entirely disap- peared
 About a year later I had another attack of rheumatism. which was brought on by working in a damp place. I remembered well what Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People had done for me, so I immediately pur- chased some Strangely enough, just three boxes again cured me, and I have been entirely free from rhumatism ever since. I have told a number of people about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have t,ken them with the most beneficial results
 (Signed) w. J. DALTON.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box, or six boxes fer S250. by Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,. Schenec- tady, N. Y. Be sure you get the genu inc; substitutes never cured anybody. Look for the full name on every pack age.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irreg- ular menstruation had headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swelled, and was generally miserable. She received an answer promptly with advice. and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregu- larity.
 Nothing in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's great medicine for regu- lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles.

Cutting ARRAY in Roslyn.

A serious cutting ARRAY occurred
in Roslyn Sunday night between a
gang OF four men and Chas. Bailey,
a quiet and respectable citizen.
The four men seemed to have some
spite against Bailey's family, and
as he was going home at i o'clock
attacked him viciously. Bailey
Immediately drew his knife and cut
his way through the gang, wound
ing two men dangerously, one
is badly cut about the neck and
face. The other man was slashed
about the arms and hands. As
soon as the cutting was over Bailey
hunted up the marshal and saw
that the wounded men were cared
for. He claims that he did the
cutting in self defense. One of the
wounded men is in a very critical
condition.
