Three small dots on a man Of the
West Indies, two OF them directly east
OF Porto Rico, the third and largest
southeast OF the island, represent the
Danish West Indies. Il Is not an i'm
posing group. Altogether the three L.
lands have barely one-tenth the area
OF the state Of Rhode Island. Their
combined population is but a little
more than thirty thousand, mostly ne
groes. Frequent earthquakes shake
them, and hurricanes sweep over them.
sugar rum and tobacco are the chief
products; but there is 30 little pros
perity among the people that Il costs
Denmark to take care Of them more
than she gets back in revenue. Small
and unimportant as these little islands
OF St Thomas and st. Croix ara. the
United States came near buying them
from Denmark more than thirty years
ago, and recently has made a new ofer
for them. II Is not the size Of the is
lands nor their fertility which gives
value, but their position. st. Thomas
lies less than forty miles from the
eastern coast Of Porto Rico. It has
an excellent harbor, which would be
useful as q eoaling and naval station.
When the canal is cut across the 18TH
mus, the possession OF these islands BY
the United States will be more impor-
tant than at present. The inconven-
fence Of having them IN the hands Of
some rival and possibly hostile power
would be very great These, presum-
ably, are the considerations which have
led to q renewal Of the negotiations
for the purchase Of the group. Both
houses Of congress must act before the
arrangement can be completed, 50 that
the policy wiz be, adopted, II at all,

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, Of South

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter OF all
pains and irregularity.
