[ Mrs. %Afarme> T7AArs. Ella Lee

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

''This artificial limb business is get

George Moore, of the Gilsey house.
when a man can wiggle the fingers
OF an artificial hand it is uncanny.
Practical jokes of terrible effect are
possible with the artificial limb, and
the victim is such in the true sense OF
the word.
"a man came in here not long ago
and walked UP to the clerk and in a
friendly way reached across the count

away and left his hand in the grip Of
the clerk.

Cuticura.

"Cuticura cured me Of a terrible

I sat with Love upon woodside, Wei,
Leaning across the water, and he;

The certain secret thing he had to tell;

In the low wave; and that sound came

Rubbled with brimming kisses at my

''But why?" gently.
She lifted her eyes and tried to

Gray looked down at her steadily.
The blood poured into her cheeks,
and her head dropped.
Sometimes one wants home be-
cause one is afraid to listen to heart
that pleads for man. Was that it,
dear? Was it your heart pleading for

The rain had broken into the plans
of the pleasure seekers. 1t had forced
them to the shelter of the cabins at
the foot of the mountain, and in good
natured, friendly groups they traiied
through the long mountain-top grass,
their faces wet with the fog that hung
in heavy cloud in the stunted trees
above them.
AS the girls passed, eyes blue and
black and brown challenged Gray, but
he only shook his head. He wanted
his pipe and solitude, and he declared
that it was his imperative duty to re-
main behind not only to see that the
mules were we'll packed but in order
to bring all the lost things down the
mountain, from handkerchiefs to girls.
In spite of the reprOach in more
than one pair of bright eyes he let
them all pass. He noticed that the
mist was settling thicker, but the
mountain was as familiar to him as
the outlines of his own hand, and, in
cheerful unconcern, he smoked pipe
after pipe.
the muff1ing fog reused him from his
reverie. 1t was woman's voice.
Some one of them had Jagged behind
and had been lost among the dozen
cattle trails that ran in bewilderlng
network across the mountain.
EYES," he shouted. He got to his
feet, knocked the tobacco from his
pipe, stuffed it in his pocket and
plunged in the direction of the calling
voice. Now it sounded family from
the right, now from the left; now it
died away to come again from an en-
tirely new direction, and from what
sounded like a great distance.
Keep still" he shouted. Il will
never find you!" There was an inn
perative ring in his voice, Nov call"
AS the voice called louder, buoyed
and strengthened by the knowledge
of his human nearness, he plunged
into the opaque mist curtain, and in
moment, guided by the sobbing sound
of painting breath, he had almost STUN
bled upon the girl.
ooh" she cried in passionate relief
as her rescuer came up to her, how
good it is to be found! 1t hasn't

log, trembling violently, and began to
sob like little child.
When the sound had twisted and
strained Gray's heartstrings until
it was a physical impossibility to en-
dure it longer, he touched her arm
| gently. please don't" he said.

with, "but there was a month Of les

"Oh," Understandings. Then plain

a lot"

And to think that / might never have

At the sound of something that rang
in his laughter, the girl got up from
the log and moved away down the
trail, alert, like a bird ready to take
flight.
Gray followed down the aisle of
spectral trees, the light gone out of
his eyes.
"Was your mother very ill?" he
asked, at length.
"Not yery.' the girl said. There
was a curious little sound in her
throat that might have been laugh
or a sob. Whatever it was it sent
the light leaping into Gray's eyes

overtaken her. look at me-" he

Grand Duke Advocates soIdness.

Some critics of Russian autocracy
saw that the Grand Duke Vladimir has
some excuse for his hatred of popular
movements and secret societies. His
father, Alexander 1.-THE man who on
his accession to the throne at once
made peace in the Crimean war and
emancipated the serfs-was assassi-
mated by nihilist bombs. The grand
duke is said to have carefully studied
the details of the history of the French
revolution, with the express object of
avoiding the perils and dangers of
any such catastrophe in Russia, and
he is convinced that if Louis XVI s
ministers had been holder they might
have saved France as kingdom.

FABLE OF THE WISE HEN.
How She Discounted an Arbitration
Committee and Avenged Deceit

How She Discounted an Arbitration
Committee and Avenged Deceit.
Once upon a time very recently a
hen went upon strike and refused to
lay. Other hens followed her example
and the scarcity of hen fruit which re-
suited caused eggs to retail for some
thing like so cents per dozen. In 9TH
er words, strictly fresh eggs laid by
scab hens were worth about 5 cents
each in the she'll Even cold storage
eggs, which were deadly explosive and
had to be handled with care, brought
SO cents.
The people got together and remon-
strated with the hens, but it did no
good. Finally an arbitration commit
tee waited on the hens and tried to
persuade them to go back to work.
The arbitration committee pointed out
that only the rich can afford to eat
eggs, but the hens refused to work.
The arbitration committee then told
the hens that if they persisted in the
strike they would bring race suicide
on themselves.
Then a wise old hen arose and spoke
as follows:
"In the spring when us hens wish to
sit the people give us porcelain door
knobs to sit on. If porcelain door
knobs are as good as eggs to sit on
they ought to be as good to eat as
eggs. Tell the people to eat porcelain
doorknobs."
The arbitration committee could not
answer this argument and departed in
tears.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.
ERIN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of. giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made of the
Agents of, the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
ranies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points
to a most prosperous year. There is
room for hundreds of thousands ad-
ditional settlers, much new land hav-
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr.. Geo. M. Girls
void of Red Deer, Alta, formerly OF
Grever, Montana, written on the End
OF January is as follows:
81 am located IL miles from a
beautiful lake 10 miles long, where
there is church, school, stores,
creamery and two postoffices. The
fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers) horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is a mixed farming
and dairy country. This is the right
time to get fOothod in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from
wind gumbo and alkaIi here and have
fine, clear soft well and spring water
at depth of from to 25 feet and
lots of open eyerfowing springs"
Telegraphic advices from Medicine
Hat say that seeding has commenced
at Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and other
points. At the former place the tenn
perature moderated gradually until on
the 18th the maximum was As and the
