VALUE OF KEEN OBSERVATION,
"Scotty" Cites Billy the Kid as an
Example Of Shrewd Deduction.


"Scotty." the alleged Death Valley
millionaire cowboy, was RECALLING a
circle of friends the other night with
anecdotes of the plains. Previously
some one had spoken of the clever
capture of two alleged sisters of char
ity who had been arrested for solicit
ing funds. Detectives who were
watching the supposed sisters as they
climbed the stairs of the elevated
road say that they wore red stockings
and high heeled shoes, and their ar
rest was made on the strength of that
discovery.
THAT reminds me of Billy the Kid,
when he was floating around the Pan
handle country said "Scotty."
There was reward out for his cap
ture and slick detective from the
East thought to corral it. He located
Billy all right at a ranch and rode up
bold enough. Billy was suspicious of
every stranger and kept a sharp eye
on this chap, who let on that he was
granger looking for site to cult
vate. He was waiting his chance to
find Billy alone and get the drop on
him.
Billy sort of edged around to the
fellow and, suddenly whipping out his
gun, ordered hands up. The detective
threw up his hands all right and
Billy took sQuint at the palms.
You're of a granger with
them hands, says Billy. why, they
never done days plowin' in their
life
"Billy's gun cracked just about then
and the detective went to trail ghosts
in some other sphere. Nothing like
observation in this world. Here, give
us another drink"

The wonderful power of Lydia e.

the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant. not because il
is palliative. but simply because it is

structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and

Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them ould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow.
