THEY DIDN'T GET THERE.

Party Tried to Reach Thimble Islands,
 But Stoppsd Part Way.
 Conductors Morris Sheahan and Will liam Landy of the Consolidated, Street Railway company, and three friends entertained themselves last Saturday night in a rather unenv1aple and un- comfortable fashion. The five men de- cided that they would like to take in an evenings calm contemplation and delight upon the face of the deep. Therefore, they sst out in the evening in a naphtha launch belonging to one of the party. Their destination was the Thimble Islands, but they didn't get there. Nevertheless, they thought they did-for time. Their craft went ashore on an oasis of a rock somewhere off the Southeast ledge brs saltwater. which in the darkness they mistook for one of the Thimbles. But they hadn't gone so far as they thought. .
 On this newly discovered land they disembarked and passed the night. From all accounts it was as dreary and unpleasant a nights experience as any adventurous discoverer of distant lands in romance ever had to vaunt himself of, Nevertheless. they got back to terra cognita in safety, but they are not vaunting.

John Foster and His Daughter Nearly
 Drowned While Fishing Near Lake
 vile.
 Lakeville, Aug. 15.-Timely rescue saved the lives of John Foster, a Bridgeport merchant, and his daughter Mildred, who fell overheard from boat in which they had been fishing yester- day. They were in a und-bottomed craft out in the lake and had a stone forW an anchor. MT. Foster was pull ing up the anchor, when the stone slip ped from the rope and he fell over- board. Unable to swim, he clutched the boat and 1t was overturned. His daugh- ter, aged eleven, can swim a little, but both she and her father were almost exhausted when other fishermen res- cued them.

and she is often the bread-winner of the family. Whether she is sick or well, whether it rains or shines, she must get to her place of employment, perform the duties exacted of her smile and be agreeable.
 Among this class the symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach. In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, monthly periods become painful and irregular, and ire quently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden. All of these symptoms point to derangement of the female organ ism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound,
 Miss Abby F.. Barrows, Nelsonville, Athens Co.,, Ohio, tells what this great medicine did for her.. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 < 1T feel it my duty to tell you the good Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before I took them l was very nervous, had dull headaches, pains in back, and monthlies were ! NSSpSAA5 SOAA~ they did me no good.
 sYour medicine has made me we'll and strong. can do most any kind of work without complaint, and my periods are all right.
 f7sI am in better health than ever was, and know it is all due to your remedies l recommend your advice and medicine to all who suffer-"
 It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink ham holds out helping hand and ex- tends a cordial invitation to correspond 1. with her. Her long record of success in treating woman's ills makes her let- ters of advice of untold value to every ailing working girl, and from her wide experience and skill she quickly points the way to health, Her advice is free, and ali letters are held by her in the strictest confidence. Address, Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.
