Woman's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life is to
be .hildless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The abb
sence. of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is common disap-
pointmerJt. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even If they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family does otseem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-.
vorite Prescription has been the means OF
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
barren woman, to the great Joy OF the
household. In other, but rare eases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be OF surgical character
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' He'c and sur
gical Institute. Buffalo. N. Y. over which

fame presides. In all cases where chill
should be made to find out the real cause.
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
ments, prolapsus. Inflammation and de.
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to its credit hundreds OF thousands
Of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents of which the vFavorite Prescription
Is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on Mdterta Medica of all
the several schools Of practice. All the
ingredients are printed In pldt1, English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DR.. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the NFavorite Prescription is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

strenuous struggles with various MEM
bers of his family and Of THE commun-

of his wife.

insanely jealous of his wife, whom he
had accused of accepting the atten-

assaulted him. In the serious conict
which ensued, Keysor was roughly
handled and injured.
Had Guarded With Wife.
Prior to this encounter, Sumpter
and his wife had quarreled. Later he
returned to the house accompanied by
Attorney Estes, who, acting as dis
interested party, acted as referee while
Sumpter and his wife agreed to part.
They also made a division of their per-

he borrowed a revolver of Went Cha

there. were but four cartridges in the
gun Sumpter remarked there We're

Trained from Indicating what was on
his mind.
Returns TO His Home.
About o'clock Sumpter went to the
home he had left during the afternoon.
His wife. though surprised at his re-
turn, was not left long in doubt as to
the purpose of his visit. Seating him
self upon chair in the room where
his wife was standing, Sumpter coolly
took the gun from his pocket. Good
bye" he said, I'm going to another
world With that he placed the gun
at his right temple and pulled the
trigger. The first attempt did not ex-
plode the cartridge. Mrs. Sumpter,
who was holding their six-months' -old
baby, stood as though transfixed. A
sister and brother Of the woman, who
were in another part of the house when
the shot was fired, rushed into the
room, but were too late to prevent the
act.
