.Mrs Bessie Mns/ey

To be such a successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband. to inspire him to make the
most of himself. shorld be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Ever since my child was born have suf-
tered, as l hope few women ever have, with in
dammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. IL
affected my stomach so could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a we'll woman, and feel so grateful
that am glad to write and tell you of my
marvellous recovery. 1t brought me health,
new life and vitality Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
Gil South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't I'M
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

DOUGLAS Wilson's woodcbuck.

Douglas Wilson, who used to be AT
Berlin, N. H., was known to be quite a
hunter. He was also known to be "a
stranger to the truth" In one of his
favorite stories he relates how he had
been tramping around the woods con-
siderably and had found no game until
at last he espied woodchuck sitting
right at the mouth of its hole. He
knew that IL he just wounded it it
would manage to crawl into its hole.
so he decided to get as close as he
could, fire, and see IL he couldn't get
IL before it got to its hole, IL only
wounded. He fired, dropped his gun
and rushed toward the woodchuck.
In concluding, he says: Perhaps
you won't believe me, boys, but just
as I grabbed that woodchuck the
charge of shot hit me in the back"

The start was TO be made in March,

reached Springfield they found that
Offutt had been disappointed in get

Effect of Flowers.

Flowers have undoubtedly a REIN
ing effect. In respect to the homes
of the people, the advent OF an enthu-
siastic lover OF flowers into a neglect
ed neighborhood has often been fol-
lowed by emulation which has grad
ually resulted in the transformation
Of the garden plots of the neighbors
and the corresponding improvement in
the appearance Of the dwellings. The
direction of mems minds toward beau
ty in Nature must of necessity tend
to wean them from tolerating ugliness
in whatever form, and in some degree
aid in their artistic and even ethereal
uplifting.-Register. Adelaide.

Of caffeine in coffee cannot but re-

Each attack of the drug (and that

ing in the brief Black Hawk war.
Lincoln kept store in New Salem, ILL
nois, and it was in this place that he
fell in love and became engaged to
pretty Ann Rutledge, a girl of seven
teen years, who died soon after the
engagement. This was sharp blow
to a man of Lincoln's affectionate ma
ture. and years later he could not
speak of il without tears in mis- eyes.
It was after leaving New Salem and
while studying and practicing law in
Springfield that Lincoln met Mary
Todd, who became his wife. She was
of a somewhat jealous and exacting
disposition. and there were plenty of
lovers quarrels during the courtship.
Indeed, the engagement was broken,
but 1t was finally renewed and the
couple were married on the fourth
day of November in the year 1912. and
began their married life in Spring

II would take many columns to give
anything like a comprehensive ac-
count of the political career of Abra-
nam Lincoln. IL was dlihOst lneNlt-
able that a man of his force of car
acter, his patriotism and his interest
in the welfare of the nation should
drift into politics. We find him run

defeat that did not depress him in

at is odd to see an Eskimo smoke.
He chops his tobacco fine and mixes
IL with chopped willow twigs, so as
to make it go further. Then he cleans
out with a picker of bone the small
stone bowl of his pipe, and then he
plucks a lock of hair from his deer
skin suit and rams it down in the
bottom OF the pipe bowl, so as to pre-
vent any of the finely chopped to-
bacco from escaping into the stem.
Finally he lights the pipe and
smokes it In a swift series of long,
strong puffs. so that there may be
no waste. Each puff is inhaled deep
down into the lungs and the first
puff's smoke is still streaming from
the nostrils long after another puff
has been started. There must be,
you see, no waste. There must be
none OF that vain combustion Of to-
bacco without benefit to the smoker
which goes on continually among us.

mo will smoke so hard and fast that
tears will stream from his eyes, and
he will cough violently, and some
times vertigo and nausea will seize

Abraham Lincoln was nine years

In the Indiana wilderness, and was

FACED AWFUL DEATH
TO ESCAPE FROM ILL TREAT
MENT ON SHIP.
British Sailor, Manacled and Heavily
Clothed, Plunged Into shark-Infest-
ed Waters In the Harbor Of Homo.
Iulu-Flnaily Rescued.

B. Mcneil was a sailor in the
ships company of the British ship
Brenda until yesterday noon. But
rather than endure the treatment he
feared he would be sure to receive
once the ship was out of sight OF
land he preferred TO trust himself
to the mercy of the sea. So, just as
and the officers and all hands were
busy making all sail to catch the
least breath Of wind, he jumped over
board. He was manacled with hand
cuffs, or, more properly, heavy iron
bracelets fastened together with a
chain, but he preferred death in the
bright daylight to the life he had en-
dured aboard ship as well as to pos
sible death in the brig after abuse
and slow starvation. At least that
was the impression his story gave.
There was no time to get into bath
ing trunks or even to peel off his
heavy boots or even his coat. There
was but time to get a friend to
break a single link in his chain, and
then to jump into the sea and posi-
bly, into the waiting jaws of a shark.
If the ship or his comrades missed
the man, there was no boat lowered
to save him. The ship went on her
course apparently unmindful of the
possible fate of one of her crew.
When the Brenda was standing off
some three or four miles to sea, a
pleasure craft from the French ship
Ernest Reyer, a whaleboat rugged
with a sail and manned by two of her
common sailors, found Mcneil with
lungs half filled with salt water des-
perately hugging the spar buoy.
The Frenchmen were returning
from a Sunday sail when they spied
the British sailor. They hove to and
asked him IL he wanted to come
ashore, and half by signs-for his
lungs were so full of water that he
could hardly falkland half by words
he made them understand that he did
so. So the Frenchmen hauled him
aboard and sailed into the harbor to
their ship, landing him on Sorenson
wharf, where a captain of police took
him in charge and led him to the po-
lice station, a willing prisoner on
land, but not at sea.
His ship arrived in Honolulu Oct.
5, and almost Immediately he tried to
desert, but was roped in by the U.
S. marshal and taken before u. S.
Commissioner Mailing, who sent him
to the reef. About a week ago he
was delivered to his captain on or
ders of the British authorities and
taken back aboard ship. AS the time
Of departure approached, the captain,
fearing he would again desert, put
him in the brig on a bread and wa
ter diet. Just how he got out Of the
brig or who broke his manacles is
not known. In order to show cause
for sane man TO take the risks he
did it must be fearful tale he has to
tell.-Honolulu Commercial Adver-

American Chameleon,

The American chameleon, a small
lizard, inhabits various parts of the
southern United States. The little
animal has the remarkable habit
of quickly and completely changing
it's colors. varying from brown to vel
low and pale green. It's food consists
of insects. The little animal is per-
fectly harmless to higher forms of
life, is often kept as a pet, and has
been worn attached to a chain as an
ornament. The toes are provided
with adhesive pads, which enable the
lizard to run upon smooth, vertical
surfaces.-St Nicholas.

until the fatal fourteenth of April
1865, Abraham Lincoln lived for his
country and he was ready to die for It,.
His nomination for the presidency
had been predicted before he had any
aspirations for that Office. When the
subject was first preached to him he
said: Whats the use of talking of
me for the presidency whilst we have
such men as Seward Chase and
others, who are so much better known
to the people, and whose names are
so intimately associated with princi-
pies of the Republican party? Every
body knows them; nobody scarcely
outside of Illinois knows me. |

Not in all the union was there a man
better fitted to hold that office during
the perilous days of the civil war,

who could heal the wounds OF the
nation and bring real peace and har-
mony out of the bitter strife that had
lasted for four fearful years. His
