George Washington did not set down
any hard and fast rule when he decided

He was tired of the job and wanted no
more of tin fact he wanted to resign
during his first term.
Gen. GrOSvenor's talk of a third term
has attracted than ordinary at
tention because OF his prominence as a
Republican leader. He has maintained
a place in the front rank of political
prophets since the election Of the fifty
fourth congress, when he predicted an
overwhelming majority for his party
and gave the figures. Since then he
has been known in the political world
as "Old Figures" The old general took
the credit for that prediction, but it
really belonged to d newspaper man
named John Kennedy, who prepared a
table showing what the Republicans
would do and attributed it to Gen.
G%rosvenor.
The willy old politician stood for the
figures all right, and as they came out
remarkably close to the actual result
his reputation as a prognosticator was
at once established. He did the right
thing by Kennedy, however, as he had
the latter appointed as a member of
the celebrated industrial commission
whlcn sat for several years collecting
all sorts of data about economic condi-
lions i'll the country and whose report.

ty fair recompense for allowing an
other man to have the credit for n
close political prophecy.

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 a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
1t, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
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 it
recommended it to others, and the de-
nand 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 +. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
mea for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methOdical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record 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 and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick m the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
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,
now the mother of a large family, took
It up. With women assistants, some as !
as herself, the present Mrs.
continues this greatwork, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad-
Vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given If you only write to ask

Such is the history Of Lydia E. Pink
1am's Vegetable Compound made
rom simple roots and herbs the one

the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.

of many of his colleagues, who would
give ten years of their lives for an APP
pointment to what is nc doubt the

Knox Is as modest about the affair as

The third offer to Knox came the
day President Roosevelt received a
note from Associate Justice Brown that
the latter would retire at the end of
the present court session, which will be
in May. Within an hour Mr.. Roose-

he could not accept, as his duty laid in

The first offer of the wool sack came
when Associate Justice Shiras retired
some two years ago. Mr.. Knox was
then attorney general and interested in
the prosecution Of the Northern Securi-
ties cases. He was constrained t o de-
cline. Shortly afterward Associate
Justice Harlan offered to retire If the
president would appoint Mr.. Knox.
Mr.. Roosevelt was willing, and MI.
Harlan was entitled to retirement,
both on account of age and service.
Mr.. Knox vetoed the proposition, say
ing that he would never be a party to
the retirement OF John NJ. Harlan from
the supreme bench. He believed that
the court needed such men as Harlan.

In going away from home for hOnOrs.
There is genuine regret among all the
old members of the house, Democrats
as well as Republicans, at the retire
ment OF Gen. GrOsvenor.
NO one will miss the gallant old
fighter more than that dyed-in-the-
wool Democrat, Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,. Two stronger partisans than
these men could not be found in con-
gress. They have crossed swords
scores of times, not only on the floor of
the house but on ChautauQua plat
forms, where they have been star at
fractions. They have differed on near
ly every important question that has
been before congress in the last ten
years, and have paid each other many
l~eft-handed compliments in the neat of
debate, but they are warm friends per-
sOnally.
Often after an unusually caustic en-
counter between these worthless on the
floor, when the prOprieties of debate
were strained to the limit, they would
be seen walking up and down the lobby
in the rear of the house c%huckling over
their performance and probably ar
ranging the details Of a future joint
debate on some Chautauqua circle.
They are both thrifty and understand
what will please an audience like those
they have been accustomed to address
at C~hautauQuas. When one sees a good
point in their sCrimmages on the floor
he tells the other and they arrange to
work. it in on the lecture platform.

Safe Fell Over. Thief Flen.

Mrs. Sarah Weinberg, 60 years old,
was alone in her apartments when
two men grabbed her and dragged
her into the kitchen. One man gag
ged Mrs. Weinberg with handker-
chief, while his companion bound her
legs and arms. Then they carried
her into an adjoining room. A small
safe containing money and jewelry
stood in a corner of the sitting room.
The burglars rolled it to the centre
of the floor, took from the valise
safe-blower's outfit, consisting of
chisels and jimmies. and were max
ing ready to open it when an acci-
dent happened that upset their plans.
In getting the safe to a position
where they would have light by
which to work they toppled 1t over
