CATCHING AN AMAZON.
Lawyers Wit Turned Aggressive
Woman's Defiant Words
Against Herself.

About a year ago there was tried in .
court Of Kansas City case in which
there was retained as counsel Mr.. Bar
tholdt, who is a representative from Mis-
souri, in congress.
Among the witnesses for the opposing
side who were cross-examned by Mr..
Bartholdt, says the New York Herald,
were man of diminutive stature and
sheepish manner and his wife, an indiv,d-
ual Of Amazonian proportions and a cor
respondingly aggressive air. The husband
was evidently very much cowed by his
better half, for when he was being ques-
toned he would from time to time glance
timidly at the lady, as if to seek per-
mission to reply to the interrogatories.
During the cross-examination to which
the lady in turn was subjected by Mr..
Bartholdt she evinced considerable i'm
patience. Finally, when one question was
urgently repeated to her several times,
she suddenly exclaimed III. an angry tone:
Nov, you needn't think you can catch
me that way. You've tried that three or
four times already. No, sir, you can't
MADAM" observed Mr.. Bartholdt, with
the politest of bows, you have no cause
for alarm. I have, l assure you, no
desire whatever to catch you, and your
husband looks as f he were sorry he
did"

HONEST CONFESSION.

There are no fairer set Of men on

EVERY :||;|'Y'I ONE. ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of tho Way by Which He

When Doctors Failed.

Mr.. Jones Tells OF the way ny "h!cA no
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
So: physicians, all Of them good, one OF
them q specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from, the fortunes Of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while no was drawing ice III February,
1901. From that time OH for a period
of more than three years he was con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: my rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared in every muscle Of my body. I
lost the use Of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to DO
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that q cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
sou for great confidence in DIR. Will
lians' Pink Pills, and acting on. her
advice he bought a box of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
"When was on the third box," says
Mr.. Jones, II could realize change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. I kept OIL with
them for several weeks longer and now
/ am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what I took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

mosa-Belief That Rojestvensky
Will Accept Battle Wherever Togo
Chooses to Offer.

London, April 11.-There is every rea-
son to believe that Admiral Rojestven-
sky is sailing, north to meet Togo in a
decisive engagement, with the firm re-
solve of winning the struggle or perish
ing in the attempt. Russian officials, al
though declaring that they are leaving
the battle in the hands Of the command
er-in-chief of the fleet, believe that he is
steaming directly toward the island OF
Formosa with the purpose OF going into
action as soon as Togo will accept the
challenge.
No News from Rojestvensky.

information from Vice Admiral Rojest-
venskys squadron, but the admiralty
would not be surprised to learn of skir-
mishing between scout ships to-day or
tomorrow, and the Inauguration of tor
pedo boat warfare soon is notunexpect-
ed. The naval organ here expresses the
opinion that Togo was taken completely
by surprise when Rojestvensky sudden
ly appeared at the entrance of the China
sea, and is now concentrating his widely
scattered fleet near the Pescadores,
where it is believed sea fight will prob
ably occur.

eign dispatches relating to the voyage
of the squadron are followed with the
most intense interest.
The admiralty volunteers no informa-
ton regarding Rojestvensky's plans,
whether his immediate destination is or
is not Cape Padaran ION the east coast
of Cochin China), but in naval circles
the impression prevails that the squad
ron will continue nOrthward to the
straits Of Formosa, where, If Admiral
Togo does not elect to give battle or is de-
feated Admiral Rojestvensky may seize
temporary base in Japanese territory,
