Mrs. Hayes First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham OF Help:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM: Il have been under Boston doctors treat
ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me L have a hbroid
tumor. cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends
up my spine. Ihave beaTIng-down pains both back and front. My abb
domen is swollen, and | have had flowing spells for three years. My ap-
petite is not good. IcannOt walk or be on my feet for any length OF time.

E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St, Qsoxbury) Boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkhan's advice-aT.
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine she knew would help her-
her letter contained a mass of additional %irstrucs
tons as to treatment, all of which helped to bring
about the happy result.
"DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:- Sometime ago l wrote to you descnb-
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and l followed
all your directions carefully, and to-day [ am a well woman.
"The use of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely
expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. l can walk

"Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. l advise all women who are afflicted. with tunOrs or
female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial"-CSgneO Mrs
E. F. HAYES, 22 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimOny-O or take
the place of the health and happiness which Lydia Il. Pmkhams
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all
ovarian troubles; tumors infammations; liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful
mensruation. Surely the volume and character or the testimonial let
tiers we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room Tor doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.

RUSSIA, LAND OF eRAFTERs.

To Petersburg came three Amerj-

places where gold is found in Russia.
and our friends wanted the privilege
of working one of those places. First,
they had to deposit $4,000 with the
Ministry of the Interior as good
faith So much for the regular legal
part of the program Now for the ir-
regular. illegal part. They kept in
their room at the Hotel Europe bag
of hard. cold cash in golden rubles.
This cash they doled out in INSTALL
ments, first to this prince. then to that
count, for influence" Each time they
handed out the money they were told
that their proposition had been found
good, and promises were made that
the concession would be speedily
granted. Each time the would-be con-
cessionaires believed that they had
accomplished something, and each
time they were disappointed and had
to refill the money bag. The weari-
some delay in the negotiations con-
tinued week after week: technical OBJ
stacles. each mere serious than the
preceding one. were brought forward;
and so weeks grew into months, and
the Americans we're not one step near
er the goal. Deciding that bankruptcy
would come before any kind of a def
mite conclusion could be obtained,
they went away with what cash they
had left and an accumulated amount
of disgust. Their $4,000 was returned
with all legal formalities, but consid-
erably more than that sum was left
in the hands of the princes and counts. |

other Americans seeking to do bust |

LABOR AS JOY Or CURSE.

It is worthy of note that all the
great historical religions of the world
whether OF the millions of Egypt
toiling under the lash to build the
pyramids at the wages of a couple Of
onions and a piece of dry bread day,
or of the millions of India working in
the rice swamps amid swarms of ,pes-
/ tiferous insects. or of the millions of
| the Semitic race whose traditions
have been gathered together in the
story of Eden and of the fall in the
/ Book of Genesis-all have been rooted
and grounded in the problem of the
common doom of man that he must
eat his bread in the sweat of his body
and the sweat of his mind. None of
these religions affects to treat the
issue flippantly. rhetorically or with
commonplace platitudes, but with
awful seriousness. The enormous
overweight of the burden of the work
in comparison with the strength, spir-
its. interest and reward of the worker
is what Expresses the minds of these
teachers and prophets and brings
them to the common ominous conyic-
ton that this must be the outcome of
some primeval curse and of some
stupendcus moral catastrophe. re-
demption from which is the end and
aim of all higher spiritual hope.
Labor may be either Joy or curse.
All turns on whether II is encounter
ed with freshness. spontaneity and
zest, or whether 1t is the draining to
the dregs the springs of life. Once for
all, out with it. fair and square and
plump. There is no more dignity nor
elevation in mere labor than in
mechanical pump-handle. What 1t
lifts from the living. central springs |
beneath determines all. Our JOY must |
be in this living water yelling up, |
as we ourselves quaff its refreshment |
or extend il TO the thirsty lips of |
others. For this sole joy that is set
before us must we endure the cross
and despise the pain. We think the
poets exempt from this MOL. pure
children of inspiration. Never the
weary pump-handle for them but only
the leaping geyser. But hear what
Milton has to say: NO WORTHY en-
terprise can be done by us without
continual plodding and wearisomeness
to our faint and sensitive abi'ities.-

SUBMARINE HAZARDS.

The death OF eleven men in the
British submarine boat A as re-
SILT of a collision with a merchant
steamer is the first fatality that has
followed an accident to a modern
craft OF this kind when ready for serv-
ice with matches battened down. The
early attempts at underwater naviga-
ton of course were only form OF
suicide. but the submarine boat of the
latest type when properly handled.
seems TO be as safe as anything that
takes the chances of the sea. When
the Moccasin was cast adrift in a
storm she rolled ashore, and after
pounding on the beach for several
days was finally hauled OFF as good
as new. Any surface torpedo boat aft
er her experience would have becn a
total wreck.
Even the British boat that has Just
had so tragic an experience does not
seem to have been injured by blow
that probably would have sunk bat
tleship. The lesson CT her experience
is the particular need of vigilance on
the part OF the lookout on a boat
which. being invisible. cannot depend
on other craft to do any of her watch
ing for her. Perhaps. too. the peri
scope the eye of the submarine. may
be opened to imprOvemelt.-Ncw

WISDOM OF MODERATION.

Instead Of contemplating new ave
nues for extravagant display of force
or wealth. let the country consider the
wisdom of moderation. II has been
suggested that a public debt under
certain conditions serves a wholesome
purpose in restraining waste and
checking those enterprises which have
no other inspiration than national
yainglory or ACKNOWLEDGMENT "Pri-
vate credit is wealth; public honor
is security"
The nation that needs to consider
economy is not consuming vast wealth
and exploiting immense resources in
huge and monstrous ornaments that
challenge the world. She is likely. in
deed. to avoid offense to other nations.
TO be slow to anger. and to cultivate
the rewards of peace. Instead of seek
ing distinction as the exponent OF
mere splendid mate !alism. such
people would meet the magnificent de-
scription that was made by the poet
Milton:
"Enflamed with the study OF learn
ing and the admiration OF virtue;
stirred up with high hopes OF living
to be brave men and worthy patriots.

THE VALUE OF TREES.

In many parts of our country farm
ing would be impossible but for the
trees, such is their influence upon
the streams. They regulate the wat
er supply. and their tendency Is TO
prevent both floods and drought; they
supply fuel. one of the greatest neces-
sites of life. and they furnish the
lumber for the building OF our cities.
railroads. ships. and a thousand other
things without which our present state
of civilization would not have been
possible for ages. if at all. This is
why we should be careful of our for
eSts. which are fast dwindling away
in many sections; this is why we
should legislate against safeguarding
in the forests. and against all other
practices which tend to cause forest
fires. and why we should try to pro-
teci our trees from their natural enc
mics. such as landslides. floods. in
s-Sts and fungi. And it is well to bear
in mind the fact that we cannot re-
place in fifty years a tree which we
can destroy in an hour.-Woman'

The charm and fascination of the

of things; the solitary farm with its

Swallowed, as it were. by the wing of
memory and the vague apprehension

of Rome.
In the destruction of the pictur-
esquc which would-be paternal gov
eminent inaugurated in Rome was the
removal of the shrubs and bushes and
plants that had grown upon ancient
monuments such as the Coliseum and
the Baths of Caracalla.
The destruction of vegetation APP
piled to the Coliseum was also extend
ed to the ruins of the Baths of Cara
Gala, and the upper floors were de-
nuded of their flora. On the top of
the great arches, as a writer in 1870
described It. you would get an idea
not only Of the vast size OF the ruins,
but also lovely views over the cam
pagna, which were obtained between
the bushes of lentiscus and phillyrea,
with which till lately they we're
fringed.
And here it was, on this high roof
between earth and heaven. that Shell
ley wrote his "Promotheus Unbound"
as he tells in his preface TO that work.
1t was chiefly written, he says, upon
the mountainous ruins of the Baths of
the Caracalla, among the fiowery
glades and thickets of odoriferous
blossoming trees which are extended
in ever-winding labyrinths upon its
immense platforms and dizzy arches
in the air. The bright
blue sky of Rome, and the effect of
the vigorous awakening spring in the
divinest climate, and the new life !
with which it drenches the spirits |
even to intoxication, were the inspir-

VAST IRRIGATION SCHEME.

The cost of irrigating the arid lands
in Wyoming will be much less than
the original estimates owing to the
fact that the government will be able
to utilize one of natures vast reser-
voirs for combining the waters from
the mountain country during the flood
season.
Rising near the boundary of the
Yellowstone National park. in north
western Wyoming. that natures won
derland, rushes into a canyon cut
down through solid granite. The flow
of the Shoshone. named by the Indi-
ans Sinking Water" because of its
sulphurous origin among the Yellow
stone springs. is highly variable. in
time of food 5000 or 10000 cubic
feet per second. and again as low as
$50 feet. The possibilities of this prof.
ect. therefore. lie in the storage of
the floods. Joining the walls of this
granite canyon, the government will
build cement and stone dam. as i'm
movable as the everlasting rocks
themselves and rising 10 feet above
the river level. forming a great lake
covering $500 acres and with a stor-
age capacity of 5.OO0.OOO.00O gallons.
1t is estimated that 100000 acres will
be irrigated.-Utica Globe.
