Woman's Suffering and
Misery.

If women suffering from uterine or ovarian

most women. This remedy was originally de-
signed not exactly for Dyspepsia, but for
most miserable stomach condition which no

caused likely by bad Liver. After many trials
and experiments the combination known as
Wells Stomach Elixir was happily hit upon.
Words cannot express the degree of relief, ease
and comfort, this remedy has given the sub

edy in such troubles is beyond computation.
From the hour of the compromising of the first
bottle of Wells Stomach Elixir it has been a
valued and indispensable family medicine, and
it has been found by the women of the house

remedy at painful, distressing periods.
For Stomach, Bowel and Abdominal distress

The windsor Dwelling Rooms.

1t is popular error to suppose that the
dwelling rooms at Windsor are very
sumptuous. The private apartments are
scarcely worthy of an ordinary country
gentleman's seat. Queen Elizabeth is re-
sponsible for a great number of them,
and they were built rather hurriedly by
her orders She had taken refuge at
Windsor from the plague which was rag

and attendants revolted at the uncom

The watchword Of women.

Modesty is woman watchword. What
ever threatens her delicate sense of mod
esty, frightens her. For this reason many
woman permits diseases of the delicate
womanly organs to become aggravated
because she cannot bring herself to submit
to the ordeal of unpleasant questionings,
offensive examinations, and obnoxious
local treatments, which some physicians
find necessary. Doubtless thousands OF
the women who have taken advantage of
DR.. Pierce's offer of free consultation by
letter, have been led to do SO by the escape
thus offered from a treatment repugnant
to modesty. Any sick woman may write
to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, in perfect
confidence; all letters being treated as
strictly private and sacredly confidential,
and all answers being sent in plain en-.

The comedy must for my purpose be
reduced to a paragraph. You know how
fond the professional ventriloquist is OF
talking up the chimney to an imaginary
man on the roof. Sothern had arranged
for his slavish confederate to mount the
roof by a ladder and play the part of the
voice on the roof, which he did to per
lection, and Sothern's success as a ven
triloquist was voted nothing short of
marvellous. Supper being over, the party
adjourned to another room, at which
point Sothern said "Good night" to his

Sothern had, however. plotted against
his man, who when he wished to descend
found that the ladder was gone. By
hook or crook the deceived confederate
found his way to the chimney of the
smoking room, where the supper party
were settling down for long evening.

considered the voice only another exam

with the voice on the roof to let his I'M

After time, just when Sothern was
about to slip out and release his friend,
his host went to the chimney and, all the
more to emphasize Sothern's success. as
he thought, called out, "Are you still

Objected to the Shelf.

The ways of the sleeping car are al
ways a trial to women, even to the most
experienced travellers. 1t was one of the
inexperienced who the other night faced
for the first time in her life the difficulties
of an upper berth. She stood about help
lessly in the aisle until everybody had
gone to bed. Then she carefully parted
the curtains of the lower berth where
she had seen another woman disappear
and inquired, did you ever sleep in a
top berth?"
"Oh, yes; there's very good air up
there"
Then came the question, "How do you
get up there?"
The simple solvent of ringing for the
porter and calling for the stepladder was
applied to her difficulty by her fellow
traveller, and she climbed up to her place.
Next morning she was heard to say in
heartfelt tones: after this will hire the
stateroom on sleeper if it takes every
dollar have. l never did like to be put

wAsHiNeToN's FLASK.
Odd Looking Blue Bottle That Ws
Given to Him by Lafayette.

| ODD Looking Blue Bottle That Was
Given to Him by Lafayette.
Relics of the Father of His Country,
of which the public does not generally
know, are extremely rare, but a gentle
man of Southampton county has one
which has attached to it a story of more
than the interest of the great majority OF
the stories which Parson Weems began
telling about Washington and which were
believed by two or three generations OF
young Americans.
The relic in question is a whiskey flask,
which has for a long time been on the
center table in the parlor of the pretty
home of Mr.. Robert E. Bishop of South
ampton county. 1t has been in his fam
| lily for over a century, ever since his an
cestor served as an orderly at the head
| quarters of General Washington at the
siege of Yorktown. If it ever leaves the
Bishop family, it is safe to say that the
sum paid for it will be about that which
Mr.. Bishop could get for his farm.
| The flask holds half pint and is of old
fashioned blue glass. Running over the
outside are seams of what looks like
china or porcelain. 1t is not exactly a
glass bottle perhaps, but, for the lack OF
a name for the material composing it, il
Is called glass.
The story behind the interesting relic
| is not a very long one, but it Is full Of in
terest. The bottle was given to Stith
Bishop, a soldier in Washington's army,
and an ancestor of Mr.. Robert Bishop,
the present owner. Mr.. Bishop was an
orderly at Washington's headquarters
during the siege Of Yorktown. 1t was
| probably after the surrender of Cornwall
lis that General Washington sent Order
| ly Bishop over to Williamsburg on bust
ness After giving him various direc-
tons regarding what he was to do in the
old capital, General Washington gave to
his orderly the bottle and told him to
have it filled with good whisky at tav-
ern in Williamsburg. There is no tradi-
ton as to the brand the soldier was di-
rected to purchase, which is unfortunate,
as the enterprising distiller of today
would find it an excellent name for the
liquor he is making at present. But Mr..
| Bishop did remember that the general
charged him to be careful not to break or
lose the bottle, as it was a present made
him by the Marquis de La Fayette.
| OF course Orderly Bishop once knew
! why he did not return the flask, and of
course he told the family when he came
home from the war, but the reason is for
gotten, and it is not likely that it will be
known again.
The bottle is guarded most sacredly.
A glass case has long covered it, and it
is seldom raised to allow a closer inspec-
ton. The genuineness of the relic is be-
yond question. Its history has been a
part of the history of the Bishop family
for Observation-Disclosures Times.

A STORM.

Athwart the sky grewsome feet Of murky clouds

Among the leaAess boughs the wind is ominously
wailing.

The moon, silver shallop, plies.
Beneath crimson thread is spun
The parting glory of the sun.
Dark grows the sky and darker yet, while evening

Obscure the landscape, and feel the chill Of
storms impending.
Borne on the ever strengthening breeze
hear the soughing of the trees
And sounding from the rocky shore
The angry oceans sullen roar.
With curtains drawn and bolted door mock the
tsmpest's raping;
Though all without is cold and dark, sweet peace
my soul is LAYING.

Safe sheltered by my cottage hearth.

Mules Versus Horses.

The chief reason why a mule can near
ly always wear cut horse when it comes
to a trial of endurance is that the former
always lies down to sleep, and the latter
in large number of cases, sleeps stand
ing up. The habit seems to come tc
horses which have been hurt, especially
when In the stable, and they cannot bt
broken of it. Besides the absence OF
proper rest and the constant danger of q
heavy fall and consequent injury, this
habit of standing up to go to sleep results
in the giving way of the front knees and
gives the animal prematurely aged and
crippled condition.
A walk through any large stable al
night will show number of horses stand
ing up, but fast asleep, and whether these
use three or four legs to stand upon the
knees of the fore legs are all baggy. With
a mule, of course, it is quite different, for
"Jack" lies down the moment he finds
work is really over, and somnambulist
mule is seldom If ever met.
