Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations I decided to try it, and in
less than four months / was entirely cured ;
and words fail to express my thankfulness"
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains and
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and | decided as a last resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
:" To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and WELL and l can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, Inflammation, Ill
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrhea, irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink
hams office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.

A Most Helpful Poem.

At the South church vesper service last
Sunday the pastor read po;m by Miss
Louisa Alcott, written when she was E
girl Of twelve or thirteen. Tits remark
able as the utterance of a child, anC
contains enough of vital wisdom to b,
the expression Of a mature mind. Anyone
who will commit it to memory, and give
it the test of daily use, will find it nota
bly, helpful" The verses are here given il
full.
A little kingdom possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard find the task
OF governing it we'll
For passion tempts and troubles me;
A hayward will misleads;
And selfishness its shadow casts
On all my words and deeds.
How can learn to rule myself?
To be the child should,
Honest and br"ve, and never tire
Of irving to be good?
How can l keep sunny soul
To shine along life's way?
How can l tune my little heart
To sweetly sing all day?
Dear Father, help me with the love
That casteth out my fear;
Help me to lean on Thee and feel
That Thou art ever near;
That no temptation is unseen,
No childish grief too mall
Since Thou with patience infinite
Doth soothe and comfort all.
do not ask for any crown
But that which all may win;
Nor seek to conquer any world
EXCEPT the one within.
BE Thou my guide, until find,
Led by a tender hand,
Thy happy kingdom in myself,
And dare to take command.

The most noticeable features of "A West Point Regulation" which Violet Black and her little company of play week to the delight of all those who love wholesome comedy are the sprightliness of the story and the ex- cellence of it's interpretation by the performers. The tale runs that cer- tain young cadet labornlg under q fearful attack of affection for come ly cousin proposes matrimony to her ill a most warlike fashion. The .ady has made other arrangements for the disposal of her heart to an officer teaching in the academy and who un- fortunately drops in to bind the bar gain while the cadet is engaged ill the pleasurable occupation of drinking four o'clock tea and shamelessly de- vOuring all the cakes in sight, all ot which if detected means reduction to the ranks and possible expulsion from the war school He hides behind Il conveniently disposed piano while his superior officer proceeds to pay his court in more dignitied manner.

Of course it all ends nicely and everyone is happy.

'GL|MPSES OF SPRING.
WHAT SEE FROM MY WINDOW
 AND ON A STROLL.
Each Year the Bluebirds Seem More Blue-How to Act When Mr. Skunk Is Near-The Deer
 at This Season.

Looking through my study window, yesterday, saw, scarce hundred yards away, g small reddish-yellow object, moving swiftly through the brown dry grass, It was a fox-a vixen. probably. from it's size, and 1t was carrying something in it's mouth. My window being open, I whistled once, and the fox stopped short in it's tracks. Just for a moment, it stood looking all about, but, seeing nothing. 1t started off again, moving more swiftly than before. Presently it came to stone wall, upon which it leaped, and ran lightly along the top. Then 1t jumped down on the other side, and was lost to view. But, running to an upper window, saw it again, moving quickly down steep bank towards . plunging, roaring mountain brook at the bottom. With the lightness of a cat, the fox leaped, and, clearing the turbid water. moved on up the op- posite bank. There was no hesitation in its movements; it appeared to be travelling a well-known route, and doubtless 1t was, for a moment later the earth seemed to swallow 1t, and knew 1t had entered the mouth of it's den. This is the time at which young foxes in this part of the country be- gin to take solid food, and during the next few weeks it will require almost incessant work on the part of their parents to keep them supplied with wild mice, poultry, grouse and other creatures which the cubs like to snarl, wrestle and fight for.
 The glimpse of that fox settled the question of the days work. "The Call of the Wild" was stronger than the call of the editor, and in two minutes I was in the open. Oh, how fresh the air, was, and how bright the sun! There had been sharp frost in the night, but now it was warm, and the last few patches of snow were melt ing fast. Splendid weather to make the sap flow, and where stood on hilltop could see the smoke and steam arising from score of sugar-houses. And these farmer-folk know how to make maple sugar, and maple syrup, too-the real thing. And If you're good, and if your tame foxes don't kill too many of their hens; and If you pay up for the turkeys and sheep which your tame wolves de-

stroy, they will invite you down to help ''sugar off"
 The gurgling song of the bluebirds was everywhere; it floated over the brown fields, and rolled down from the hillside orchards, mingling with the music of the trout brooks. Never did the backs of bluebirds look so blue to me; mere fancy it is, of course. but each succeeding spring the backs of the bluebirds look more blue and lovely.
 And as l listened to the bluebirds, became aware that something was moving quite near me in the grass. l turned and saw it was a skunk; very black one, with white only at the tip of the tail. It is good rule never to make sudden movements in the presence of skunk. and I always ad- here to it. Many skunks fail to use good judgment in sizing up mans intentions. and. if they once misunder- stand him, explanations come too late. So I kept quite still. and this fellow merely looked at me, sniffed and stamped defiantly with his fore feet, and went along with his business. 1 think he was hunting for mice. though he didn't find any while was watch ing him. But he was the most active skunk I ever saw, perhaps because he was thin and after his long winter fast; and he ran quickly about from one tuft of grass to another. examining each in its turn. Then he passed through gap in fence, and I looked about for other things.
 Presently three deer stepped quietly from a clump of spruce trees at some distance. and began to nibble the brown grass. One was aybuck. but. as he shed his horns early in the winter. he could be distinguished only by his light-colored face. They all looked more or less ragged. for they are fast losing their thick brown winter coats, which make way for the thinner red ones worn in summer. Next month the spotted lawns will be born. ard now and then we shall find them lying still as little graven images in quiet places in the woods. But the wind changed. and the deer before me caught my scent and all heads were in the air in a moment. Six ears were turned in my direction to catch the faintest sound and six large eyes were looking straight at me One of the does stamped and switched her tail. then came a loud. explosive snort and the three turned and leaped away toward the woodland. with their white flags high in the air.

 To commemorate the victory over Hippo Sahib and the capture of Seringa- patam, the banqueting hall was built during Lord Gives government. It is noble building. detached from Govern ment house, but standing within the grounds, and in it all official functions,

The wood color pictures of the North Country and above all the quaint personality of Uncle Eb,' go to make up a rural novel as interesting as David Harum," far better written, and more engaging from every new point.

such as investitures, dinners, receptions and balls, take place.
 The fashionable promenade at Madras is the Marina, two and one-half miles in length, and after the heat of the day nothing can be more refreshing than the drive along the beautiful sea-front breathing in fresh ozone. There on the seashore between five and seven o'clock may be seen scores of peaky, white-faced English children with their nurses. dig ging in the sands, and enjoying them selves as children can. even in India!
 The beach is particularly picturesque about six in the morning, when the boats "go out a-fishing' for the day, and one can get some picturesque sketches and photographs of the catamarans and masula boats.
 The catamarans are composed of two blanks of wood lashed together, and the Tamil boatmen stand upright with one foot on eachsplank, welding long pole. They are notoriously unsafe.
 The masula or surf-boats are flat-bot- toned barges constructed of mango wood sewn together with cocoanut fiber, and the crew manage them very cleverly when going through the Madras surf.
 There is no really cold weather in Madras, but the roads are so we'll plant ed and overhung by mighty banian trees, that one can drive in compara- tive coolness through these shady tun- nels even when the sun is hot. The Madras club is recognized to be the fin- est in India. and many of the leading merchants reside there permanently. When the king-emperor visited Madras as prince of Wales. and was hospitably entertained at the club, he was so greatly struck by the superiority of the curries that he took the curry cook" back to England with him, and this important person remained at Marl- borough house for two years. My hap piest hours in Madras were spent at the Adyar club, the Ranelagh of Madras, situated on the banks of the River Adyar, a short distance out of the city. There. in the spacious grounds. one can golf. .'croquet'-and probably coquette too!-and enjoy boating from the pret-

THE SMITHS COURT
Their Entrance Causes Sensa- tion at Nan Patterson Trial.
NOT CALLED TO WITNESS STAND
Chorus Girls Composure. Somewhat Shaken at Third Trial as COm- pared With Former Ordeals.
 The Tragedy Re-enacted.

NEW YORK. April 25.-Just before the third trial of Nan Patterson for the murder of Caesar Young was ad- journed for the day J. Morgan Smith and his wife were taken from the TOmbs prison into the courtroom.
 Their entry created somewhat of a sensation, and when the news of their appearance was whispered about the interest of the spectators left the cen tral figure in the case and was centered upon her relatives, who are accused of being parties to conspiracy which. Mir. Rand says, resulted in the death of the bookmaker.
 The Smiths took deep interest in the testimony as given by the witness on the stand, Edward J. Quinn. a de- tectiye attached to the Leonard street station. and it was expected that they would be called after he had finished to testify. At the conclusion of his tes- timony. however. Recorder Golf de- clared an adjournment. and the curious spectators were disappointed.
 Whether or not it is her physical con dition or fear inspired by the insinua- ton contained in Mir Rand's opening address that he has obtained evidence against ]. Morgan Smith which is un- favorable to her case it is very evident that the chorus girls co-nposure in the present trial is not the same as that which was so marked ill her previous appearances before the tribunals of justice.
 When the revolver with which Cae- sar Young was shot and his clothing with the bullet hole and red stained shirt was exhibited as mute evidence of the tragedy she shlddered and hung her head. apparently unwilling to view the grewsome objects.
 While an unusually large asseInblage of women spectators craned their Eecks in their eage-ness to see and hear all that passed. the most dramatic incident that has yet occurred took place when Policeman Junior. by the aid of a court officer. depicted ths scene in tie hanson cab on the morn ing of last June when he opened th< cab door and looked into the vehicle.
