COAT or PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks, as all the world
Knows, are often stopped or restricted
IN the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that run was
to set In on certain Monday morn
lng--for 1t had been robbed Of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
In the newspaper reports-and II this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would hive to close
Its doors. 1t had plenty of money, but
not plenty Of cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Mondsy morning
a man put fresh coat Of paint on the
front doors OF the bank, on the wall
panels. and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather q
walk of 1t. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con.
trary, they came on with caution and
deliberation. So careful we're they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that 1t took longer to pay off one Of
them than 1t would have taken or
dinarily to pay five.
This is one Of many odd tricks
whereby, in run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give a Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade. unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But 1t is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 1OO,.
600 workingmen, members Of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces over $500 year, and by means
Of 1t six engineers are maintained for
years course Of study at the col.
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number Of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair

suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part Of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice Of 1t at first, but 1t
began to get worse all the time, and
then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but l became worse all the time.
Ny hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get
n bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and 1t
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l
did, and the first application helped
ne wonderfully. For about four
weeks would take hot bath every
hight and then apply the Cuticura

Z used four boxes of Cuticura was

"A SMALL THING

Do you believe in progress? Do you
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments Of the nineteenth century--the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,
electric light, kerosene, sewing ma
chine, agricultural machinery, steam
ships, trolley cars, etc.-have made
life easier and better worth living? l
do. I believe that man who lives
40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries of his time.
The triumphs Of the nineteenth cen
fury were triumphs Of human service
the placing of knowledge and the
fruits OF knowledge within the reach
Of the common man. Every mans
life Is better, happier, more secure be,
cause Of them. We live more comfort
able, more sociable lives In better and
more comfortable houses because Of
them. Even the hopeless dweller in
the worst city slums Is more com.
Portable In his physical conditions than
the middle-class citizen Of the days Of
George Washington.
In little things as in great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
Of the Century Of Improvement"
Paint, in a certain sense, is a minor
matter, yet 1t gives beauty, healthful'
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was serious
proposition, luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To-
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property we'll painted.
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories. employing
thousands Of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day In
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet can Of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, en-
bodies the study of generations Of
skilled chemists, the toll of a thou
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and
factory, and the product of long
series Of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety Of tints, colors and shades.
1t was a wonderful century, that
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of Its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can Of paint.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
a Scranton Woman Tells How Dr..
Y Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and StronQ.

Nervous debility is the common name
Vor what the doctors term neurasthenia.
II is characterized by mental depression.

Of energy and spirits. The patients eyes
become dull, the pink fades from The
cheeks, the memory becomes defective 10
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names will. SopiN of these symptoms
only may he present or all OF them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. jane J. Davies, Of No. Yl4 War.
rem street, Scranton, P,l., says: "Some
years ng0 l becnnle greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
nt. night and woke up as weary and
Ianguid i'll the morning as was when ]
went to bed. My head ached iii the
morning and often there WINS pain in
NV right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were OIL edge all
the time, every little noise bothered ME
and ] was generally miserable. Thee I
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now I have no more
pain in my side, 10 more headaches,

do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or

Of all common diseases caused by poor

In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.

critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, theil
characteristics and power over disease
She maintained that just as nature sc
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
all kinds; SO, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends
Chief OF these was a rare combina

and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as 6
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
Of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

restore the 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 gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired q job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits OF the medi.
cine, now called Lydia e. 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 great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used II
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.

that time the growth and success Of

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 as
effectively as she could have done IL
herself.
During her long and eventful expo
rience she was ever methodical In her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve arecord of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study. and the details, includ.
ing symptoms, treatment end 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 q vast collabora-
ton of information regarding Che
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked hes
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 e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,

Chambers JOE on conkllns.

Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer
and quito proud of his skill. One
gevening after considerable banter he
induced Senator Chandler to put CO
the gloves" with him. He played with
Chandler for a few rounds, much to
the discontinue Of the downeaster.
The latter bided his time and some
time later quietly brought a profess
sional pugilist to dinner where Conk-
ling was a guest. In the course of
the evening "Mr. Smith" was induced
to engage in boxing bout with Mr..
Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him as
he would with punching bag. The
elegant New York senator was dazee,
overwhelmed, Inundated, crushed.
When he surrendered and called
enough as he did at last, Senator
Chandler smiled blandly and presented
the pugilist in his true colors.
