The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office. and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise 1t could not produce such marvellous re- sults among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "About nine months ago was q great sif. fefer with womb trouble, which caused me severe pain extreme nervousness and fre- auent headaches, from which the doctor failed to relieve me. tried Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, and within c short time felt better, and after taking i've bottles of it l was entirely cured. I therefore heartily recommend your Compound as e splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain and what q blessing 1t is to find such remedy after so many doctors fail to help you am pleased to recommend 1t to all suffering women" "- Mrs Sara Wilson, 31 East Sd Street, Cinein- natl, Ohio.
 If you have suppressed or painful mensSrustion, weakness of the ston- ach, indigestion, bloating, leucorrhea, flooding, nervous prostration. dizzi- ness, fairtness, "dont-care and " want-to- be -left.a1one feeling. OK. cita bility, backache or the blues, these are sure indications of female weak ness, some derangement of the uterus or ovarian trouble. In such cases there is one tried and true remedy-Lydis E.

 But to all other questions as to why he had killed Dave Duncan, his best friend. he maintained an obstinate silence, and neither court nor counsel could prevail upon him to break 1t. From time to time his eyes would rove to a woman in the rear of the court room, but not ono word could he be made to utter.
 Throughout the bitter tirade of the prosecutisg attorney there was not the culver of an syeiash to show that the prisoner heard. and as he sat with his head thrown back and eyes closed, no more emotion was depicted on his emaciated facc than on marble mask.
 As the attorney proceeded, excite ment ran high. even among the stohd people from the hills. for tfeachery was the greatest crime in their deca- loeue. That their leader who had always cautioned them against blood shed. should be guilty both Of murder and such treachery as was laid at his door. was almost past belief. To them it now seemed that it would have been better to have followed their usual custom, and taken the law into their own hands. but for so long he had held supremacy ever them. that they had felt that other men must try and condemn him.
 The prisoner had engaged no counsel. and when the young attorney. appoint ed by the court to defend him, arose and began a rambling preamble, John Davidson totterej to his feet and raised his hand for silence.
 Didn't l tell the judge I wuz guiltyr'
 Yes, but"
 T meant hit, God knows-thar ain't no use of eny more words, let ther seufencs be passed.
 A deaIthiy stiffness prevailed the court room as he sank into his seat broken in A few moments by a. gasp and slight struggle from the prisoner. His eyes turned again to the woman in the rear. snd as he did so, crim son stream gushed from between ms lips. The sheriff sprang to his assist ance, but 1t was too late.
 The case of John Davidson had been removed from the lower court to one where Judge and Jury had more light to guide their decision, and the verdict was--iuStice

It is said that the drug was taken with suicidal intent in a Respondent fit over love affair, but this Is denied by the young mans brother. The young man swallowed the drug about 1;30 o'clock. Dr. W.

Big Salaries in Life Insurance.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 What is most needed In life insur- ance management is rugged honesty and homely care and conservatism, and are these qualities so uncommon as to command such excessive salaries as are here paid? If SO then we must be in state of hopeles demoralization, where legitimate business methods are giving way all around to the rule of recog- nized piracy. But, even so, the excess sive salary is obviously failing Of it's purpose. It will have to go, and in its going we shall lose nothing for life insurance except possibly an affected brilliancy in management which is out of place and always likely to prove ex- ceedingly expensive to the policy-ho CTS.

 Hit air strange. Dave. the way me aud you hit 1t of together" remarked John Davidson to his companion. as after a successful nights work in the underground distfilery. the two hs6 eopArated from the others and were eofN6 towards Johns home. You're Che 6niy one amongst them that I feel like I kin trust with all my secrets fur 6odein' them revernu ofhcers that come Destestn' round and ef anything hap pens to me, want you to know efhuh to take charge of tho gang.
 By tlsis time they had reached the top q the last hill, and were looking town ct the lietle cabin In the valley, bathed in the srst flush of the rising san. A woman came to the door with a pan N her hands, and began calling the chickens. that came running at the sound of her voice. As she stood, uf- conscious of observa ton. engfossed in her homeiy duty, one could sec that she was handsome in a big, coarse way. bue 70 slattcrnIy in dress and appear ance, that only the eyes of love could have found her attractive. Watching her, John Davidson's face took on & wrap look of adoration.
 Dave, God Ermighty mover cum ez nigh maxim CT perfect woman es He did wken He made that one down there" His voice held a tone of rev. erence as he added: "'En why she ever married me is more'n I've been able to iiGger out"
 "Doan you let hit trouble you If she's . trifle ongracious to you he continued, earnestly. You two are all I've got that's close to me en you're bound ter take ter each ef you'll jest be patient with her whims. She sorter thinks I care too much fur you I reckon is what makes her act offish, but she'll get over that"
 Dave's only reply was an inarticu- late grunt. and in silence they de- scended the hill to the cabin. ID Dave's "Mawnin', Mandy" the wornan vouchsafed only a slight turn of the head and a lowering glance from tho bold. black eyes

 Nothing abashej, John went inside the cabin, and raking the embers to- gether. began preparing their simple meal in a manner that betokened thorough familiarity with his task.
 Dave sat on the doorstep watching the woman, still puttering about with her chickens, and finally he spoke to her in a low voice:
 Mandy, air ye always goin' ter treat me like this?'
 There ain't no other way kin treat you," she retorted. fiercely You know that ninny in thar" pointing con temptuously to Johns keeling figure on the hearth, "aint goin ter stand no foolishness, en little en no count ez
