failed however, and everything seemed
in i muddla.
Eliza was tired and sore hearted as
she went to her room to change her
dress that afternoon. but it was q good
drying day, and she had the satisfao~
ton Of knowing tnat she had aCl6ng
line Of snow white clothes tapping in
the breeze
There was scampering upstairs,
and she pressed her lips hard together,
for she knew that the girls were hurry
ing away from her; and hot tears
rolled down her cheeks as she entered
her own room
There was something en- the bed, but
she could not see what it was. so she
wiped her eyes with the corner of her
apron A rich black silk dress was
carefully spread out upon the counter
pane and slip Of paper with some
writing on 1t was tucked into a fold.
Eliza picked up the paper and read:
From Clara, Lu and Berthe with
their love
The astonished woman could only
glance from the paper to the dress, and
from the dress to the paper One, two,
and then three heads popped out from
behind the bedroom door. and in an
other moment three pairs of arms were
around Eliza, and three voices were
asking her if she liked it
But did you really give it to me
youfselves?" said Eliza, in astonish-
ment
@Of course we did said Lu. eve
bought it with our own money, and
made it ourselves"
but then You know we had the
dressmalSer to cut and plan it for u.s.
said Clara.
and what time we had keeping it
from you said BERTHE. I'VE came
near spelling it by hustling it away so
many times when we thought we
heard you coming"
'But-I-thought-you did not like
me-" said Eliza. II imagined you
thought was trying to take you moth
er's place, and"
But we didn't said Clara, ssWe
don't call you mother because you are
so young; but if you would let us call
you Eliza, we would like it SO much.
You seem like sister to us"
II don't care what you call me-" said
Eliza, with happy tears in her eyes,
''if I am not one too many among
you"
1--WE lacked just one until you came"
said Lu, kissing her; but we are a
nice little family circle now
When Mr. Moore returned home that
evening. there was a heavy shadow
on his brow, and no one will ever
know just how he dreaded going into
the house Upon entering the sitting
room he was surprised to find his wife
and daughters talking and laughing
together.
Eliza rose as he entered, and going
TO him, said:
Il have been very wicked. John; but
these dear children Of yours have
taken me in hand, and will. l hope,
make a better woman of me-
you need only be your natural self"
said her husband, as he stopped and
kissed her
Never after that time did Eliza think
that she was one too many. If other
step mothers would give stsp-chiIdren
a chance to love them. there would be
less cause for complaint New York

Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good =?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for a quarter of
a century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is astimulant-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures. and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache,
bloating Tor fiatulence), leucorrhea,
falling, Inflammation or liberation of
the uterus. ovarian troubles, that
bearing-down feeling, dizziness,
faintness, Indigestion, nervous pros
tration, or the blues, should take i'm
mediate action to ward off the serious
consequences and be restored to health
and strength by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway,
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass,
for advice. It's free and always helpful.

AThriIIine Experjnca.

Mr.. James A. Mayhem and family,
who live near Bedington, had a
thrilling experience during the storm
that prevailed in many portions Of
the county, last Wednesday afternoon
The house which is solidly built
stone one, with small frame addi-
ton, was struck seven times, and each
bolt did more or less damage, one ig-
hitting the wooden portion. of the
building, but the flames were extin-
guished, by the aid of the heavy rain,
before doing much harm. The most
terrifying experience was when two
bolts, at short intervals, passed through
a room in which three members of the
family were, each tearing large hole
In the massive walls, and passing
out of the windows on the opposite
side of the room. Mr.. Mayhem cou-
siders it little short of miraculous, that
none of the three were killed or even
injured, and is deeply thankful for
their escape.

1000 Lives ImperiIed.

New York, July 2I.-The deliber-
ate b aching OF the crowded excur
sion boat Sirius oday possibly pre-
vented repetiti on OF the disaster to
the excursion steamer General $40
cum. which cost 900 lives IS months
10. The excursion boat was in the
waters about North Brother Island,
where the General Slocum burned. A
Sunday school picnic, numbering l.
900 and composed mostly OF women
aud children, was aboard, and this
picnic came froyA the same quarter OF
the city as the Slocum picnicers.
In strait near North Brother
Island the Iron River excursion boat
Sirias passed the steamer William U
PAYNE. While rolling in the trough OF
the Payne's swells the Sirius was
dropped violently upon hidden rock
The blow stove hole through a steel
plate into a bulkhead. The excursion
lists did not immediately realize what
had occurred, but Capt William NJ.
Pelrce knew. and although his crew
quietly reported to him that the
steamer was not in immediate danger
he headed the boat directly tor the
mud fats of Riker's Island, nearly
mile away.
This abrupt change in the course
spread alarm on the crowded passen-
ger decks. Durin. the long run to
shore the excursionists were informed
by tae crew that they rode with the
water running into the hold below
and they were entreated to be calm.
Rescue parties followed fast in the
wake of the excursion boat, and when
the steamers bow settled in the mud
police patrol boats ana the steamer
Massasolt were at hand to take off
the frightened passengers. The Mass
asolt, "a smaller craft, was able to
stream directly upt to the Sirius side.
The Sunday school picnic was end
ed, for although the Iron river Steam
boat Company sent another boat i'm
nediately the passengers preferred
to return to their homes.
