Frequent baclxache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
Ny Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--
During the early part Of my married life
was delicate in health both my husband and
] were very anxious for a child to bless our
home but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E.. Pinkhanl's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. /
did so and soon felt that I was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like new woman. Within a year
became the mother of strong, healthy
child, the Joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly q
splendid remedy, and wish every woman
who wants to become mother would try it, :"
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

Marks of a Grilse.

Some of Recreation's sporting contem-
poraries have published letters of cor
respondents who desire to know the
marks by which a grilse may be dis
tinguished from a salmon. To an old
fisherman the problem presents no diff
ficulty. The grilse has deeply cleft
tail, while that of the salmon, even
when the fish is small, is more nearly
square. In the case of an aged fish, the
tail is actually convex. Again, the
scales of the grilse are detached with
great facility; you cannot handle q
grilse without the scales becoming de-
tached in quantities, while with an
adult salmon the scales are compare
lively firmly attached. Then there is
an indescribable something about the
shape of the grilse that distinguishes
it at once to an experienced eye 1t is
slighter, with smaller, sharper head.
The body is less flexible. Size is no
guide to the grilse, as on some rivers
grilse are fully as heavy as the small
salmon, though this is contrary to the
general rule in Canadian streams. -.
Perley, in Recreation.

guardian on the ground that he was
incapable of managing his own affairs,
Probate Judge Carney selecting S. N.
Hall, cashier of the North Bennington
national bank, for the position. Mr..
Huling, not unnaturally, made a de-
cided objection, claiming he was per-
fectly competent to manage his bust
ness and insisting that if he wanted
to get married it was his own affair
and did not concern anyone else.
Nevertheless, his contention was in
effectual and Mr.. Hall took charge of
his estate. The old gentleman then
sought an opportunity to see his at
torney, but even this privilege was
denied him, and all one afternoon the
citizens of Bennington witnessed the
edifying spectacle of the old gentle
man being restrained from consult
ing with a lawyer.
His Rights Restored Him.
Such condition of affairs could not
exist for long, and within a few
days, by the aid of Miss Bissell, Mr..
Huling was enabled to see his coun-
sci, who promptly called the attention
of the probate judge to the situation
and peremptorily insisted that the old
gentleman's rights be granted to him.
To relieve the pressure Miss Bissell
was advised to bring writ of habeas
corpus, which she did, and after the
hearing the judge decided to dissolve
the guardianship, a physician testify

relatives, but neglected to state that he
had been taken by force and that he
had been given no opportunity to ex-
plain his predicament to his fiancee.
She could not understand the painful
situation created by his absence. He
had promised to send a carriage for
the wedding party and none having
come, rather than delay the ceremony
she, in all her wedding inery, had walked
tc the scene of the nuptial ceremony,
only to find it 3 place of desolation for
her. The minister did his best to COM
fort her, but his words were unayail-
ing, and, sorrowfully. with the we'd
ding finery painfully incongruous on
North Bennington street,. she, still a
maid, with her sister and friend,
tramped back to her boarding place.
Public Sides with Old Man.
The next day Bennington and
North Bennington awoke to the mari
tai tragedy which was being enacted
in their midst and the citizens wit
messed the efforts of Octogenarian
Huling to attain his hearts fondest
desire. First amused. then angered,
the residents eventually took sides
with the old gentleman and appiauded
his determination to maintain his
rights.
The charge sof intoxication was SIT
tied without difficulty, there being no
evidence to substantiate the allega-
ton, but an application was imme0i-
atoly made for the appointment of 4

the indications are that he will quit

Mr.. Rulings first wife died about ten
years ago and shortly afterward his one
child, son, Frank, passed away. Hss
only relatives are three or four nieces
and nephews, and it was among them. it
was confidently felt, that his wealth
would be divided as there has beer a
sort of tradition in the Huling family
not to devote any large sums to public
benefactions. Under the Vermont laws
the surviving member OF a married
couple receives from The estate $4,000
and one-half the remainder absolutely.
This means, of course, $4,000 more than
one-half Consequently Columbus HUI
ing's nephews and nieces will receive
less than one-half what they would il
he had remained in single blessedness,
and if his wealth is correctly placed at
100000 this indicates loss of over
100000 to them.

ised bride and secured the document
which told the world that the commu-
nifty placed no restrictions on the
marital union of the man and woman.
Then the wedding day was set. Great
secrecy was observed; the town Off
cial who issued the document was
sworn to silence, and the minister was
urged to diyulge to no one that the
ceremony was to take place. The
day came, and then the old gentle
mans manner and air of Importance,
coupled with his announced intention
of clothing himself in his best attire,
as the afternoon wore on, aroused the
deepest suspicious of his housekeeper-
the aged widowed sister-in-law. He
skillfully eyaded her sharp questioning,
but she was not satisfied with his re-
plies. and posthaste sent message for
one of the interested relatives. An
examination of the town clerks records
disclosed the whole situation; the truth
was laid bare. Apparently the old man
and his fiancee had outwitte6 the en-
tire array of relatives-the licen Sc was
issued, the minister engaged, aud the
groom-elect only awaited the coming of
she would-be bride, for the final part
of the amorous chapter.
How best to prevent the dreaded
event was the question uppermost in
the minds of the distracted relatives.
They had before them only two or three
hours at the utmost, and whatever was
to be done must be done quickly. Right

Boston.-Although Columbus HUI
Ing, of North Bennington, VT, is an
octogenarian, he is amply able to
manage his own affairs. This fact
he proved to his mercenary relatives
when he successfully overcame the
numerous obstacles placed in his way
by them and welded the young maid
en- of his choice.
Columbus Huling is at present in
his eighty-frst year, while his pretty
bride, Miss Jennie Bissell, blooming
lass, has but just recently celebrated
her twenty-fourth birthday. Huling's
neighbors are applauding him for his
sturdy defiance of almost every form
of opposition and carrying out his OBJ
iect.
When the aged bridegroom, q wild
over for several years, decided short
time ago that he needed another part
ner to complete his happiness, he cast
his eyes around for a suitable girl. In
stead of youthful charms to attract her
he offered to share his fortune, esti-
mated at 100000, with any young
maiden who was willing to accept him,
and of whom he approved.
Octogenarian Meets His Bride.
In his quest he had become acquaint-
ed with Miss Bissell, and two months
age he received the joyous news that
she was willing to take him.
While working girl, she has much
grace and charm of manner, and in
face and figure is good for masculine
eyes to gaze upon. Not whisper ever
has been heard against her character,
and many of the young men of the
town had cast sheepish eyes in her
direction long before the octogenarian
dargled his glittering gold before her
vision.
Yet the devoted swain who won her
consent found that much was be-
fore him besides the trembling eyes"
he so ardently petitioned for.
The law must sanction the contract
the couple were willing to enter into,
and, while nothing in the statutes
could bar the union the preliminary
red tape proceedings involved more or
less publicity which might give
designing relatives an opportunity
to wreck the old gentleman's gay
ly bedecked bark of happiness.
Attempt to Prevent Wedding.
Still, bravely and defiantly, he went
before the town clerk with his prom

DIFFERING VIEWS OF JOBS.
Tie Man in the Air Feels Sorry for
the Man on Firm
Footing.

A Chicago architect says that one day
he was obliged in the line of duty, in
order to consult with the foreman of the
iron-workers, to go up to the sixteenth
story of the steel frame of an Office build
ing then almost completed When he
had finished his talk<with the foreman, he
was about to go down when he overheard
an amusing conversation between one of
the iron-workers and man who was
cleaning the windows of a similar struc.
ture adjoining the new building.
(. The man who was cleaning the windows
was husky Irishman; and as he swabbed
away he whistled merrily. Suddenly he
ceased his tune, and, peering into the
window on the ledge Of which ne was
standing, carefully surveyed roomfnl of
pale, Junhealthy-looking clerks. Then he
called out to the nearest iron-worker on
TIE building next door: Say, my boy,
just have a look at the lads in here
The iron-worker did as requested
Poor fellows!" exclaimed the Celt, in
tone of deep commiseration; ''but, thin,
Bcmc men viii do anything for living!"
And he resumed his task.
That's right, agreed the iron-work-
ct, turning again to his beam some hum
dredS of feet in the ai".

Columbus Huling of North Bennington. VT.
Wins Pretty Jennie BisseI with Aid of His
Comfortable Fortune-Mercenary Hin Use
Every Means Available to Prevent Mar
riage, But Without Avail.

at this point, one of the laws Of the
aid. 1t is that on complaint a
warrant charging intoxication may
issue, and a police officer is empowered
to serve this at any time or place within
the Jurisdiction where he has authority.
Relatives Get Out Warrant.
Without delay the opposing relative
hurried to the Office of magistrate
and there made oath that on such and
such date Columbus Huling, OF North
Bennington, had been intoxicated on
the streets of Bennington. A warrant
was made out and given to police
officer, who went in the relatives car
riage to the octogenarians residence.
While intoxication is a misdemeanor.
and an officer cannot forcibly enter a
mans house with a warrant for such
a minor crime, the Vermont law makes
an exception in regard to drunkenness,
and the Bennington policeman went di-
rectly into Mr. Huling's dwelling and
asserted his authority.
Entreaty was of no avail, expostula-
ton was useless. The police officer in
sisted that Columbus Huling should ac-
company him, and he did, pathetically
glancing back at the little house where
he had anticipated SO much happiness
as he climbed into the carriage before
the door. In imagination one could
almost observe Cupid waving him a
fearful farewell. Into Bennington rode
the sad but wrathful prisoner and his
captor and disembarked at the Put
nam house, where, in comfortable con-
finement, the disheartened groom
elect was kept over night.
Bride Finds Bridegroom Missing.
An hour after his departure the ex-
pectant young woman who was to be-
come Mrs. Huling, clad in garments OF
snowy white and accompanied by her
sister and a girl friend, climbed the hill
onwhich the Huling dwelling is located.
The trio was the observed of all OBJ
servers, and seemed not unwilling to
let the populace know that most mo-
mentous event was to occur. At the
house the party was uShered into the
parlor, and in few minutesiwas joined
by the pastor of the Baptist church,
who was to perform the ceremony.
Where was the groom? The house
keeper could only say that he had gone
to Bennington short time previously
in the carriage of one of the opposing

Scared Away the Ghost.

A Jealous young curate went to stay
with some friends at a country house,
relates Rams Horn On descending to
breakfast each morning he noticed his
hostess inquiring particularly how he had
slept, and seemed relieved when he said
he had passed very good night On the
last morning his hostess said: Mr..
you perhaps noticed how very particular
we were in our inquiries every morning
as to how you had slept, but the truth IS
that the room you occupied is said to be
haunted, and we were anxious to know
if you had seen the ghost
