TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II seems 10 me that Congressman Hefiin OF
Alabama. is entitled to a gold watch some other
valuable article appropriately inscribed from the
Republican National Committee. as a token OF its
appreciation OF his having done much to bring
about the certain election of Mr.. Roosevelt in
November. His recent rerla rks in connection with
the alleged entertainment OF Booker T. Washing
ton by Mr. iioosesslt cannot fail 10 be the cause
of thousands % votes being for Mr.. ROose-
efh that might otherwise have gone 20 the Demo-
crate nominee: therefore. a supporter Of Mr.
Roosevelt. I an heartily IN favor OF immediate
recoKhluon or Mr.. Hefn's efforts In behalf OF the
Republican party. Yours truly.

WOLVES HELD At BAY
A GREEDY PACK OF ILLS SUR.
ROUND A CHURCHMAN'S WIFE
Through the Arrival of Timely Aid She
& Escapes from the Terrors OF
3 Prolonged Siege

Certain encounters with physical
Ills resemble very closely the terror of
! an attack by ravenous beasts, which
crowd around their victim in gradu-
ally narrowing circle, filling him with
"a prolonged dread of certain destruc-
,tion in the end.
Z The Rev. w. A. Denton, of Girard,
Crawford county, Kansas, tells the fol-
lowing story of narrowing expert
ence of one Of the members of his fam
lily: My wife," he says, twas assailed
for fifteen years by a combination Of
ailments following the birth of our
first child. Female weakness, rheuma-
tism, dropsical tendencies, indigestion,
torpid liver, nervousness, insomnia
and irregularity Of the hearts action
were among them. The food she ate
fermented in her stomach, she had
frequent dizzy spells, her limbs were
swollen, her nerves We're quite shat
tered and she was many times on the
verge of heart failure.
physicians gave her only Temporal
Try relief. Her youngest sister had
used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People with benefit for stomach diff
Guilty. Ny brother-in-law had found
them helpful for heart trouble and sew
seral neighbors had given favorable re-
ports about them. Finally my wife
swas induced to try them. She expe-
rienced improvement almost at once
and continued to use them. They re-
lieved her sleeplessness, the smother
ing sensations have disappeared and
have not annoyed her for years. They
freed her from stomach trouble and
the dropsical tendency was mitigated.
The progress Of the rheumatic affec-
ton, which had begun to make her
fingers crooked, was stayed and the
pain was banished. In every respect
they gave her more help than any other
remedy she had ever used, and she is
today in better health than for many
years.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills have
earned our full confidence. They are
our staple household remedy, and
am in the habit of recommending
them to all who suffer from troubles
like those which afflicted my wife"
All the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves are contained,
in condensed form, in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppression, irregu-
larities and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they affect radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
strain, overwork or excuses of what
ever nature. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are sold in boxes (never in bulk) at
fifty cents a box or six boxes for two
dollars and fifty cents, and may be
had of all druggists, or direct by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Company,

LIKE A FAIRY TALE
STORY OF MISSOURI VALLEY MAN
SOUNDS LIKE THE
IMPOSSIBLE.
w. 6. Lewis, Few Days Ago Pau.
per in Poor Health, Suddenly Be-
comes the Possessor of $4,000 Left
by An Uncle Who Recently Died.

Missouri Valley, Feb. II. - Like q
fairy tale reads the history of w. G
Lewis, who a few days ago was pau
per, broken in health and subsistins
on the charity of a county poor house
and now the legatee of fortune Of
$4,000. 1t is strange story of grind
ing poverty and i'll health which in q
days time is transformed to a life OF
aff1uence.
w. G. Lewis was for many years a
resident of this city and toiled hard
against adverse circumstances to make
and honest living and always with the
hope of getting a little ahead for old
age, but the fates were against him
and a couple of years ago he went to
Ute, in Monona county to make his
home with his brother. About year
ago he was stricken with paralysis
which made it impossible for him to
contribute further to the joint income
of the two and his brother being I'M
able to support the two, it was found
necessary for him to appeal to the
county for help and he decided to go
to the poor farm at Castana and thus
relieve the brother of his task of his
support. This he did with the full ex-
pectation that he would have to end
his days a county charge.
Aunt Recognizes Him.
About week ago. a strange woman
well dressed and of good appearance,
came to the little town of Ute and
made inquiries as to the Lewis broth
ers and being introduced to the broth
or who lived in the town she at once
recognized him as her nephew, whom
she had not seen for years. The
meeting was, a. happy one and was
made EE ,,asmore of a surprise when
s.Ao--l the object of her visit which
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1904-02-13

was to inform him and his brother,
who was at the poor farm, that another
aunt in the east had recently died,
making these two nephews joint heirs
to her property which consisted of
100000 in money. The news was at
once conveyed to the absent brother
He was taken to Ute the home of his
brother and was overjoyed to learn
the glad news that the blance of his
life he could live in comfort so far as
the financial part was concerned
