OFFICE GIRL
Came With Cash to the Rescue of Her
Penniless Employer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Des Moines, Iowa., January 2s.-Arrest-
ed for perjury and penniless DIR. J. r.
Andrews. Of this city, was about to be
taken to jail this afternoon when his pref
ty young office girl, Miss Mary Strohn,
stepped before the officer with the an
nouncement that she would go his bond
For the first time she disclosed the fact
that she had recently come into a leg
acy of 5000.
She retained legal counsel for her en-
ployer and arranged bond. which was
fixed at $500.
The charge against Andrews is made by
A. M. Clary. whose wife was recently d.
vorced upon the strength of Andrews
testimony
When Miss Strohn who has been work
ing on a small salary, turned over her
purse to the doctor he broke down and
wept. He states there has been no de-
monstration even of friendship hitherto
between him and the charming girl who
has entertained his patients during his
absence.

Miss MsUOnoId

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from WELL. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to GO
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The neverfailing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Nc Donald, of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham
az think that a woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
cannot help from telling mine for the sake
of other suffering women.
For long time suffered untold agony
with uterine trouble and Irregularities,
which made me physical wreck, and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me. and made me well and strcng, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it is"
If you are Ill, don't hesitate to get q
bottle of Lydia e. Pinkham's vegeta-
Bile Compound at once. and write to
Mrs Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special
advioe-it Is free and always helpful

Cooked Quotations.

From the New York Sun.
A cook in the country is worth two in
the intelligence office.
Cooks are not always what they seem.
A commuter and his cook are soon
parted.
The pan Is mightier than the sword.
Money makes the cook go.
A mans house is cooks mansion.
Cooks never strike twice In the same
place.
Wives rush in where cooks fear to
tread.
Distance does not lend enchantment to
the cook
Charity begins at home-provided you
give her the proper inducements.
All things come to him who waits-ex-
cept cooks.

Attention is being directed to President
Roosevelt as a railroad manager. He is
the whole thing on the Panama Railroad,
the line bought by the government in con-
Eection with its Panama Canal. This lit
tie piece of railroad is a very important
feature in transcontinental traffic, and Ii
is within the power of the President to
so reduce schedules as to demoralze the
rate situation between the Atlantic and
the Pacific In the past these rates
were held up through the operation of an
agreement between the Panama Rail-
road owners and the great east and west
systems o. the United States. What pol
icy the President will pursue in his mana
cement Of the property is an interesting
problem and one which deeply concerns
all the railroads doing long haul business
between California and Atlantic ports. 1t
will be sight for the gods when Mr..
Roosevelt presides at a meeting OF great
railroad financiers and managers to ar
range a new deal on rates.
