Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as baekache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side.
burning sensation in the stomach.
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
illness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable COMPOUND.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inaam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
1icited and grateful testimonials on file
dG Uu6 I1nkQdm LdOO4d at LVuH,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free ofcharge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer Cd
assistance.

Wingate. "and it's a roner. they tell
me. Every mans got to do his part If
theyre going to save it. allers said
we ought to have a fire department ia
this town.
Considering that Seth had for the
past eight years persistently opposed
in town meeting any attempt to pur-
chase hand engine. this was a rather
surprising speech, but no one paid any
attention to it then.
Inc nre was in the billiard saloon,
sure enough, and the back portion Of
the building was In blaze when they
reached it. Ladders were placed
against the caves, and a line of men
with buckets were pouring water on
the roof. The line extended to the
town pump, where two energetic
youths In their shirt sleeves were
working the handle with might and
main. The houses near at hand were
brilliantly Illuminated. and men and
women were bringing water from
them In buckets, tin pals, wash boilers
and even coal scuttles.
AH 'hC odIooH anOIner nuStllng
crowd was busily working to "save"
Mr.. Saunders property. A dozen of
the members had turned the biggest
pool table over on its back and were
unscrewlng the legs, needless of the
fact that to attempt to get the table
through the front door was an impossi-
bil1ty and that, as the back door was
in the thickest of the fire, it, too, was
out OF the question. A man appeared
at the open front window of the Sec
ond story with his arms filled with bot
ties OF various liquids, Original pack
ages" and others. These with fever
ish energy he threw, one by one into
the street, endangering the lives Of ev-
| cry one In range and, of course, break
ing every bottle thrown. Some one Of
the cooler heads calling his attention
TO these facts, he retired and carefully
packed all the empty bottles, the only
ones remaining, into a peach basket
and tugged the latter downstairs and
to safe place on neighboring piazza.
Then he rested from his labors as one
who had done all that might reason
ably be expected
/ Mr.. Saunders himself, lightly attired
| IL nightshirt tucked into pair of
trousers, was rushing here and there,
now loudly demanding more water and
then stopping to swear at the bottle
| thrower or some other enthusiast.
| Webs smOOthness was all gone, and
the language he used was, as Abigail
Mullett said afterward, enough to
bring down Judgment on anybody"
Captain Fri caught him by the sleeve
as he was running past and inquired,
How'd it start, WEBB"
How'd it start? 1 know mighty
! well how it started, and fore 1 git
/ through I'll know who started it.
| Somebody IL pay for this, now you
hear me! Hurry up with the water
you
He tore frantically away to the
pump and the three captains Joined
the crowd Of volunteer firemen. Cap
tain Fri, running round to the back Of
the building, took in the situation al
once. Back of the main portion Of the
saloon was an ell and it was in this ell
that the fire had started. The ell itself
was in bright blaze, but the larger
building in front was only just begin
ming to burn. The captain climbed
one Of the ladders to the roof and
To be continued.

excuse me I'll go down to the shanty
and see il can't git Jerry up here.
It'll be job, I'm afraid, but
"No, you shan't either. I'll tell you
what well do. It's awful late now
and / must be gittin' up to the tavern.
S'pose, if faint too much trouble, you
walk up there with me and I'll stay
there tonight, and tomorrer I'll come
down here, and We'll all have a COM
mon sense talk. P'raps by that time
your friend III have the darky woman
some off his mind too"
They walked up the road together,
the captain carrying the extension
case. They talked, but not of matri-
monial prospects. Mrs. Snow knew
almost as much about the sea and the
goings and comings thereon as did
her escort. and the conversation was
salty in the extreme.
At the Travellers Rest Mrs. Snow
was introduced by the unblushing Fri
as a cousin from Provincetown, and
after some controversy concerning the
| price of board and lodging she was
shown up to her room. Captain Fri
| walked home, absorbed in meditation.
| Whatever his thoughts were they were
not disagreeable, for he smiled and
shook his head more than once, as if
with satisfaction. As he passed John
| Bakers house he noticed that the light
in the upper window was still burning.
| Captain Perez was half asleep when
Fri opened the door of the shanty.
Captain Jerry, however, was very
much awake and demanded to be told
things right away. His friend briefly
explained the situation.
II don't care If she stays here till
doomsday," emphatically declared the
disgruntled one 81 shan't marry her.
What's she like anyhow
He was surprised at the enthusiasm
Of Captain Erfs answer.
"She's mighty good woman. That's
what think she is, and she'd make
fust class wife for any man. hope
you'll say so, too, when you see her
There amt nothin' hitytity about her
but she's got more common sense than
any woman 1 ever saw. But there!
shan't talk another bit about her to
night. Come on home and turn in"

PORTLAND, May pa dispatch
from Rainier, Oregon, states that the
Portland and San Francisco liner Elder
which foundered in the Columbia River
near Rainier on January 81, 1905, was
successfully raised tonight.
The Elder left Portland heavily laden
with passengers and freight en- route to
san Francisco, The night was thick and
about II o'clock ran on the rock from
which she was removed today. This
rock sloped slightly toward the Elder,
but had sharp pinnacle on the far
side, The craft oyelrode this and wore
about third her length when she
settled down, the pinnacle of the rock
puncturing her to the height of about
seven feet, Several attempts were
made by the Portland and San Fran
cisco Company to float the vessel by
lightering, but each effort was a failure
through inability to raise her high
enough to clear the pinnacle. lfr own
cls finally turned her over to the under
writer's, who also declared ii impossible
to save her, and who sold her to j. H.

DES MONIES May 22.-The much
talked of debate upon the adoption of
the book of forms and services recon-
mended by the special committee of the
Presbyterian general assembly materia-
lized late today. No conclusion was
reached. and further discussion will be
made a special order at late session.
Not in many years has the assembly
been 80 stirred as it was today over
this issue and the most intense feeling
was shown during the debate. DIR.
Johnstone of Montreal waved copy Of
the Book of the Air as he spoke and de-
clared that sit smells of priestcraft."
Ministers Forget Dignity.
The request had been made by the
moderator that all applause be discon-
tinued but when Dr. Johnston stretch
ing himself to his full six feet four in
ches. and waving his hand frantically
declared that the book smelled of priest
craft, the applause came out in tre-
mendous roar.
Among the speeches against the book
was one made by Rev. Dr. Galloway of
Oregon.
Today's session of the assembly was
devoted largely to home missions, The
report of the home missions board was
adopted. The assembly gave a vote of
to the Platt bill in the
United States Senate for the suppress
sion of polygamy.
The home mission boards report is
as follows:
Home Missions Report.
The board of home missions for the |
Presbyterian church closed April l, with
all obligations met and $2,4ll in the
treasury.

In addition to new work in the field
they expended s4O,s4O for new churches
and school buildings in Porto Rico,
Cuba and the west. The mortgage in
debtness of the Home and Foreign boards
on the Presbyterian building in New
York City has been concluded.
The new department of church and
labor has been in operation for three
years. Notable success has been achiev-
ed in bringing church and labor into
closer relation. The board has accom-
plished much with the problem of bring
ing the gospel to fourteen millions of
foreigners who have reached our shores.
Progress in Porto Rico.
The board reports the past year in
Porto Rico, one of progress. In Janu-
ary they sent the Rev. J j. Kilpin-
fletcher to the canal zone to report on
the moral condition and the need of op-
portunity for mission work. He report
ed a mission field of pathetic urgency.
He found the total population to be
about 5000 and constantly increasing;
the colored population to be about $4,000
also constantly increasing. One half of
these are English speaking negroes. The
only protestant churches there are Epis-
copal. Methodist and Baptist. The
board reports great need for enlarge
ment of work in Alaska. Receipts Of
the board for the year ending March 81,
1906, were $9ll 1878. an increase over
the previous year of $44,777.O2. The
demands for increased work calls for
larger contributions during the coming
year.
At the evening session tremendous
applause greeted the announcement of
the dissolution of the injunction against
the union with the Cumberland Presby-
terians.
