A certain tailor of very strict prin-

faults of his assistants only in they
could justify themselves by Scripture,
One day woman entered his shop
and asked to see some material, but
refused to buy it because it was too
cheap After showing her some other
goods, the assistant brought back the
same material, this time asking a high
er price, whereupon the customer
bought it. Afterward, the proprietor,
who had witnessed the transaction. re-
proved his assistant severely. The lat
ter, remembering the rules of tie eS-
Enlistment, replied: ooh, it's accord

Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass. is fully quail. fiedto give helpful advice to sick women; Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters.
 Her first letter:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham =
 CT have .een @ sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated from painful menstruation-the pains were excruciating, with inflammation and ulcera- tion of the womb. The doctor says must have an operation or cannot live. do not want to submit to an operation if 1 cas possi- ply avoid it. Please help me."-Mrs Mary Dimmick, Washington, D. c.
 Her second letter;
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :-
 "You will remember my condition when last wrote you, and that the doctor said must have an operation or could not live. received your kind letter and followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely we'll As my case was so serious it seems miracle that am cured. know that owe not only my health but my life to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your advice. I can walk miles without an ache or a pain, and wish every suffering woman would read this letter and realize what you can do for them. n--Mrs. Mary Dimmick, seth and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. c.
 How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, and how little it cost her-s two-cent stamp. Yet how valuable was the replyi As Mrs. Dimmick says--it saved her life.
 Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of just such letters as the above, and offers ailing women helpful advice.

Woman in War.

woman's part in war Is rather to wait. to suffer, but history proves that when the hour of trial comes. if there is no one else to act. she can lead armies and lead them to victory.
 Adam was not engaged in war, but had he been there is no doubt but that Eve would have rushed to his assist ance, and after the fight bathed his wounds in the clear stream of the garden and bound them with her own fig leaves (though they might have been a little irritating.)
 In Biblical days there were many women brave and heroic as Deborah, and Jael who slew Sisira. Between forty and fifty years B. c. Boadicea drove in a chariot through the land, calling the people together, and led by the .Brittons went forth to fight
 the Romans.
 1 Many women appeared In armor in
 the ranks of the Crusaders, among them was Eleanor of Acquitaine, who won successively the crowns matri- monial of France and England. When her husband. Louis ", took the cross from the hands of St. Bernard. Elea- nor resolving to accompany him in his
 expedition appeared in public dressed
 at an Amazon surrounded by the la-
 dies of her court in the same mascu- line costume. the fair bevy of warriors styling themselves the queens body guard
 In the reign of Peter of Aragon, a | Spanish lady put on armor and took a
 French knight prisoner after killing
 his horse. Countless acts of heroism 1 lend lustre to the women of the Mid
 dle Ages. Centuries havo not dimmed the halo that shines around Joan oi | Arc. The Countess of March In the | reign of Edward III defended Dunbar | against an English army. The Count ess of Montford shut herself up in the

Chicago. May 22. 1905. My Dear Mrs. Trimble:
 Your kind, warm hearted Southern letter has just been received. I want to thank the Secession Chapter in be- half of our Chicago Chapter, U. D. C., for your liberal donation in assisting us to decorate the graves of our heroes. I also wish to thank you for your kind words of encouragement to our chap ter. You know in a big city, it Is hard to get the Southern women together, but at each meeting we see new faces, and at the last meeting we had thirty five; so we hope soon to have a large chapter of whole-souled Southern wo- men.

Sandy Hook Life Savers Rescue Captain
and Crew Of the Sunkcn Barge Daisy

Above the mistiness Of a wrathful surf
created by an on-hore gale, tho life savers
Of the Deal Beach station on the New Jer-
sey coast saw small boat bobbing in the
sea several miles on the beach at dawn
yesterday. There were four men IN the
little craft which was apparently a-leak,
a. two were bailing. and the others were at
the oars keeping her head on to the waves
The men were the skipper and crew OF the
coal barge Daisy, bound from Newport
News for New Haven, which broke away
from tho tug Muriel in the storm on Friday
nj ght and disappeared in the murk.
The boat was too small to venture max
ing land through the towering surf, in
which even the great boats Of the life savers
would have been overwhelmed. 1t seemed
several times as II tine occupants Of the
cookleshell were going 10 risk landing,
md the life savers warned them of by dis
playing red flags
Their plight had been telephoned to the
Sandy Hook life saving station. and Capt.
Patterson and his crew, in their non-sink
able and self-rghting boat started down
the coast after the castaways in tow OF tho
lighthouse tender Larkspur The life
savers had little difficulty in getting the
men transferring them TO the lArtSpur
and landing them at Sandy Hook
The revenue cutter Mohawk had steamed
out in search OF the Daisy before II was
known thar her crew had abandoned her.
