AS is generally known, the charm
Ing town of Waldoboro Me-, included
among it's first settlers a successful
colony of Dutch. The names of Ul-
mer. Helmerhausen, Winchenbaum,
Sidensparker and many others of
Dutch or German origin are now
borne by the most respected families
of Knox and Lincoln counties, and the
old Dutch Lutheran churches of Wal
doboro and Bristol, both erected in
the eighteenth century, are visited by
all tourists tc that section.
One winter evening the solons Of
the village were gathered in the gen.
eral store and, havAg tired of the dis
cussion OF the latest "hoss trade" and
other local events. were amusing
themselves with constructing a steer
from the names of those present.
Mr.. Hoof thought his name an
swered very we'll for a starter; Joe
Sides thought he was worthy of place
in the animal; John Horn considered
he would be ornamental as well as
useful. Still the "critter" did not seem
complete, when, by good luck. "Old

unanimous consent 1t was voted that
he would do very we'll for tail.

Suffering Journalist Knew Minutes
Were Precious.
Henry Guy Carleton, wit, journalist,
and playwright, had an impeachment in
his speech about which he is not the
least sensitive. Everybodys Magazine
tells this story about him:
Several years ago, when the Fifth
Avenue theatre burned, Mr.. Carleton
appeared in the New York World Of
fee, where he was then employed. and
the usual Saturday night confusion
was increased by the late fire. The
late Ballard Smith, then managing ed
itor of the newspaper, was believing
or in the effort to get to press on
time.
'M-m.mister Smith, began Garlic
ton, I've a g-g-great s-s-story about
the Fifth Avenue theatre ff-fire.'
"'Great Heavens, man. roared Mr..
Smith, don't stop to talk to me about
It. Don't you know this is Saturday
night, and we go to press in fifteen
minutes? Get to work and write It.,
and write 1t as fast as you know how.

restore tho family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling q gross of bottles.
Then came the question Of selling
1t. for always before they had given
1t away freely. They hired q JOB
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits Of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used il
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success OF
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia L Pinlham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house,
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live TO see the great success Of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work a.
effectively as she could have done 1t
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
risnce she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve . record Of every case that came to
her attention. The case Of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
aud there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds Of thousands made since. are
available TO sick women the world
over, and represent . vast collsbora-
ton Of information regarding the
treatment Of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equsled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge and
for years she assisted her In her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction Of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia Z. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother Of large family, took
1t up. With woman assistants, some ~
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ed
vised how to regain health Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given II you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history Of Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from simple roots and herbs the ono
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.

They had been eating hurrledly and
