MIe Bessie Ms1sIey

To be such successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband. to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should 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:
g Ever since my child was born have suf-
fered as hope few women ever have with in
fammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so [ could not enjoy my
meals, and half my zine was spent in bed.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me well 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. Pinlham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un-
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
Idaughter-in-Iaw of Lydia E Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

has been exploded by late scientific in
vestigation. AS a matter of fact, the
pressure Of water is so great that ordi-

to half their original size if lowered to
depth Of three thousand feet. If a
human being were suddenly exposed to
the pressure of water at that depth
he would be compressed to the thinness
of paper. A diver at the depth Of ten
thousand feet would have weight upon
him equal to several hundred of the
greater and heaviest locomotives.
There are depressions very much deep
er, however, and soundings have been
made establishing depths Of more than
twenty two thousand feet near the Is
land Of st. Thomas in the Atlantic,
and Of almost twenty-seven thousand
feet near the japanese coast.

The Dean Outwitted.

A friend Of Dean Swift one day sent
him q turbot for a present, by a serv-
ant who had frequently been on SINH
lar errands, but had never received
anything for his trouble. Having
gained admission, he opened the study
door, and, putting the fish on the floor,
cried out, rudely, Master sent you a
turbot" young man." said the Dean,
rising from his easy chair, lis that the
way you deliver a message? Let me
teach you better manners. Sit down
in my chair-we will change places,
and l will teach you how to behave in
the future" The boy sat down, and
the Dean going out, came up to the
door, and, making a low bow, said ::
'Sir, master presents his kind COM
pliments, hopes you are we'll, and re-
quests your acceptance of a small pres
ent." "Does he?" replied the boy.
Return him my best thanks, and
here's half a crown for YOURSELF
The Dead thus caught in his own trap,
laughed heartily, and gave the boy a
crown for his ready wit. The teacher
as well as the scholar received q lesson
that time. The boy certainly knew
enough to make his way through the
world.

ACTOR DROVE A BARGAIN.

How Wilton Lacxaye Outvitted an
Indian Selling Horns.
A man who has known Wilton Lack
aye since his youth tells an amusing
story Of the actors practical employ
ment of his art to facilitate a bar
gain.
II was in an official capacity in a
private car of train which was at
tached to the private car Of the Trilby
company, just then returning from the
Pacific coast" says the narrator. cat
Green River Springs, Colo, they cut
loose the mail cars and there was quite
delay. At the station Indians sell
buffalo horns. Several members Of the
company went out and bought them.
The best piece Of the bunch was a
group Of polished horns formed into a
chair.
"Lackaye went out on the platform
and bargained with dirty Sioux for
half an hour. The Sioux wanted $26
for the horn chair, but Lackaye
wouldn't pay that price.
II was secretary to a director Of the
Union Pacific Railroad at that time,
and we were travelling in his private
car. Getting tired of the argument be-
tween the actor and the Indian, 1 went
into the car.
II had not been there long when the
| colored cook came in and said that a
'ge'mman' in the last car wanted to
pass through our car for a joke. 1t
was dull, and my employer and said
Sure! in one breath.
Result Well, Lackaye went through
our car and into the first car Of the
train, where he made friends with an
immigrant just over; borrowed his
striped flannel jacket and cloth cap,
and would have taken his blonde hair
If it would have come off, and left his
Broadway garments as security.
''Then he went out on the platform,
| and Just as the train was about to
start he bought that polished $26 buff
falo chair for $723 from the unsuspect~
ing Sioux. He is a good actor all

The American Chameleon.

The American chameleon, a small
lizard (Anolis carolinensis), inhabits
various parts of the southern United
States. The little animal has the re-
markable habit of quickly and COM
pletely changing its colors, varying
from brown to yellow of pale green.
It's food consists of insects. The lit
tie animal is perfectly 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 adhe-
sive pads, which enable the lizard to
run upon smooth vertical surfaces

The election of Populist ticket In
Kansas destroys the only chance that
the Democrats had OF reducing Gov.
Hochs lead to small dimensions. TIE
Democrats expected that ex-senator
Harris, their candidate for governor.
would get the entire Populist vote.
That hope was the chief reason for
the nomination of Harris. A com
bination OF Populists and Democrats
in the legislature elected him to the
senate for the term which ended In
1908. when Chester I. LoEg stepped
in to succeed him. But there will be
no Endorsement for Harris for gov
ernor. The Populists, at their To.
peka convention, utterly repudiated
the Democracy and all Its works.
Horace Keefer Of Leavenworth, the
candidate for governor, will undoubt-
eddy poll the full vote Of the Populist
party. He will draw some support
from Gov. Hoch. but this will be small
compared with that which will be
taken away from Harris. The Pop,
ulists OF Kansas are an unknown
quantity just now, because they have
not been asserting themselves with
any positiyeness In recent years.
Thomas K. Watson. the Populist can
diadte for president. got only 5000
votes IN Kansas in 1904.
