doin college. One Sunday morning as
the students were going to church a
tall silk hat was discovered on tor
Of the church steeple. There was
much conjecture as to how It got
there. and how it could be removed.
Finally the faculty offered reward OF
$40 to the person who would bring the
hat down. When the young and
sprightly Elijah brought them the hat
and claimed the reward they thought
further conjecture as to who placed
It on the steeple needless.

In a certain Cape Cod town lived
Uncle Joe Ryder. who, besides being
very good man. was also very tall
one. On one occasion sickness In the
family required the services OF a
nurse, who. struck by his exemplary
conduct. was afterward telling some
of her friends about him, ending her
remarks by saying: And he always
asks a blessing before each meal"
Asks blessing!" exclaimed one
OF her listeners. Great Scott! I
don't see any need of his asking for
blessing. He's tall enough to reach

be the plan Of nature that women

Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain

cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell SO con-
vincingly what Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi-
sion Street. Buffalo. n. Y, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
