Mre Bessie Mns/ey

To be such successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be woman's
constant study.
If woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes.
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg-
ularities or the blues, she should start
at once to build up her system by a
tonic with specific powers, such as
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
Ever since my child was born have suf-
fered, as Ihope few women ever have, with in
hammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so L could not enjoy nv
meals, and half my time was spent in bed,
Lydia r. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and feel so grateful
that am glad to write and tell you of my
marvellous recovery. 1t brought me health,
new life and vitality. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un-
derstand write to Mrs Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

A REGULAR CIRCUS
Trying To Give Little Girl Cod Liver
OIL.

OIL.
An interesting incident was told in
Connell Bros. drug store the other
evening:
A man came in and bought bottle
of Vinol and while waiting for change
engaged the clerk in conversation.
Said he: "We were told TO give
our little girl cod liver oil. ] bought
a bottle and took it home. We had a
regular circus trying TO get the child
to take it. Then it did not agree
with her at all, the oil upset her
stomach. She did not get any better,
so told the doctor how we had failed
and he at once recommended your
Vinol, saying that il contained all of
ing properties of cod liver oil without
4 drop of oil, and that children all
love its taste.
81 took home bottle and we began
to give it to our child right away.
She said it was delicious and wanted
more. Almost from the first dose we
noticed a change, and she has gained
flesh, strength and appetite and sleeps
well every night.
II don't believe anyone should give
a delicate child old-fashioned, naus-
eating cod liver oil or emulsions when
Vinol Is so delicious. and it will do so
much more good than any other tom
ic. 1t is simply wonderful medicine
for weak, puny children, aud / am
recommending it to my friends"
1--WE guarantee Vinol will make
weak, puny children strong, robust
and rosy. strengthen and invigorate
old people and build up the run down,
tired and debilitated as nothing else
can. If ii fails we willingly return

THE DAYS OF GOLD
GOOD STORIES OF OLD TIMES IN
CALIFORNIA.
Reckless Gambling a Feature of Life
When Fortunes Were Made and
Lost in a Day-John Suffers Prac-
tical Sympathy.

In Thomas E. Farish's recent book,
Gold Hunters of California" are
some good stories of the old days.
Here is o yarn about the biggest gam
bling Mr.. Parish knew of in that time
of his big betting: "A man Of the
name of Moore had been betting and
lost over and owe sums a~ggregating
several thousand dollars on the game
of faro. Finally, as he turned to
leave, the dealer asked: Are you
through? Moore halted, hesitatcd,
then turning and taking from Ills
pocket a key, held it up and said: I
will bet you everything in my safe,
which this key unlocks, IN the ten
How much is in your safe?' inquired
the dealer. 4 do not know; but it is
a large sum-. If you win take the key,
open the safe and secure all the mon
ey you find there. If l win we will go
to the safe together, count the money,
and you must cover the amount was
the answer. The challenge was &C
cepted, the bet made and Moore won
something over SAT, 600"
An eccentric character Of those
days was a lawyer named Lawrence.
an attorney for the firm of Palmer,
Cooke & Co. after a night of drink
ing and gambling Lawrence one ai'er-
noon called OF Palmer at the bank.
He was blessed in a gray flannel shirt
and overalls, 8. broadbrimmed hat,
with a belt containing two six-shoot-
ers and a bowie knife around his
waist lie Informed Palmer that he
intended to leave on the afternoon
boat for Sacramento and the mines.
Why do you do that?' inquired Pal
mer. Because l have spent all my
money and must earn more said Law
renee. who never kept any account Of
how he stood at the bank. Why
said Palmer, you have not spent all
your money. surely. Let me see.'
And, turning to the book Of daily &C.
counts, he continued: You have o
credit here of $ $4,000 Have ~ ask
ed Lawrence, incredulously. Yes, SC
the books show Well, then, I will
not co. decided Lawrence, who re-
turned to his office and his practice Of
law"
John A. Suffer. on whose land gold
was first discovered in California in
1S4S, was always lo-al to his friends.
During the winter of 1852 Sacrament
to was a marsh and drainage bitches
had just been dug. One evening SUIT
ter and a friend had been indulging
a little too freely in the cup and they
were taking q stroll before retiring for
the night, when the friend inadvert-
entity fell into one of the newly dug
canals. I cannot pull you out said
Suffer, regretfully. as he looked down
at his less lucky friend, but l can
