LOSS OF APPETITE
Cold Sweats, Twitchins Nerves and
Weakness Cured by Or. Wiii%mr'
Pink Pills

Nature Furnishes every infractiou Of
her laws. and careless habits easily lead
TO the condition described By Mr. Will
Fam Browne, of No. 1919 Lincoln street,
St. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Browne is an ex-
pert timer in the employ Of the National
Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac-
count of II trying experience:
In the spring of 1902 he says,
"while / was regularly working at my
trade, grew somewhat careless in my
habits of eating and drinking, and finally
found that my appetite was fieIile. a bad
taste fingered in my mouth. my nerves
twitcbed and We're beyond my control,
my kidneys We're out of order and cold
sweats would break out over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while l stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
of the limbs. and profuse sweating. and
q severe chill would seize me. l became
alarmed at my condition and. having
read an endorsement of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. got box and began to uso
them. They helped me at once. After
] had used one box the twitching of the
Uerycs, the trouble with the stomach
and the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappeared, and my appetite Is good.

Browne because nothing eau strengthen

he smiles.

for the hour. And you say it is case

with you-I offer you chance to
overtake the special, which left fifteen
minutes ahead of time"
His manner tells Jack plainly that
he has been entirely influenced by the
prospect of a heavy pecuniary reward.
and not because he has big heart
Then you will allow us to accom-
pany you? A thousand thanks. senor.
II you only knew the facts, you would
rever regret your decision"
Jack feels as though load of a
thousand pounds has been lifted from
his heart. There is fair field and no
favor now. 1t is all he asks at any
time.
= The engine has been faced down the
track. and man dashes down to
change the switch that will run it
upon the main line.
Come. senors, all aboard" sings
out General Toledo, as he swings him
self up into the cab quickly followed
by Jack and Smithers while Ah Sin
clutches hold even as the engine
bursts forward.

A petition in bankruptcy has been filed
against Louis l.. Todd, proprietor OF the
Hotel Vendome, at Broadway and Forty

WOMAN'S IDEA CAUSES TROUBLE.

HAld on Iradlng stamp concerns STORE
in StapIetOn by a Feminine Mob.
A middle aged woman with an idea entered
the place Of business Of large trading stamp
concern in Stapleton, Staten Island, yesteT-
day afternoon. She had, besides the idea.
a book full Of trading stamps. Her idea
was that the book Of stamps entitled her
10 any article in the store. This was not,
Of course, the idea which the manager
entertained. The woman selected an article
which required three books Of stamps.
When the manager refused to give it in
exchange for the stamps offered by her,
she got excited and refused to listen to an
explanation She left the store In a hun
and talked Whereupon a rumor spread
through Stapleton that the store was going
out OF business and the stamps wouldn't
be good after yesterday The result was
that there was a rush on the store, The
manager when he returned from lunch
found $50 women waiting for him, each
armed with from one to four books Of
stamps.
With notice in advance the mana ger easily
could have had the goods SHIPPED over
from the firms stores in Manhattan TO
supply the demand. but The women wouldn't
listen TO any proposition that contem-
plated delaying their Transactions Many
II them wanted the same thing, and when
me manager = FLOCK IN lIdOe III lDlR article
ian out, they said he was trying to hold
them up and they threw books and other
things at him,
The manager reserted this and tried to
persuade the Staple'un women that their
conduct was unladylike. Then some Of
them walked out with merchandise without
regard TO their stamps OF. the managers
opinion Of them. Several men, il il said,
who also got excited, joined in the lootinP.
Finally the manager turned from his bUsi-
ness troubles and fed
A policeman superseded him in the store,
driving the excited women into the street
but not az one OF the Stapleton women
explained later, until the store was almost
4denuded." During the scramble the
women took albums, tables, chairs and
other articles OF furniture. One woman
was seen Juggling a Morris chair through
the streets Of Stapleton.
The manager announced that he would
have a fresh supply Of goods on hand this
morning ready 20 meet all corners. As TO
those who had already cpme, he thought
there might be some warrants issued unless
the goods we're returned.
