Dear Mrs. Pinkham:- (Second letter..
1T is with the feeling of utmost gratitude
that 1 write to you to tell you what your
valuable medicine has done for me. When l
wrote you in regard to my condition l had
consulted several doctors, but they failed to
understand my case and l did not receive
any benefit from their treatment. l followed
your advice, and took Lydia I. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and am now healthy
and well, and all the distressing symptoms
which l had at that time have disappeared u
Myrtle Mills, Oquawka, Ill.
Miss Matilda Borman writes Mrs.
Pinkham as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Before taking Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound my periods were irregu-
lar and painful, and l always had such
dreadful headaches.
but since taking the Compound my head
aches nave entirely left me, my periods are
regular, and l am getting strong and well. l
am telling all my girl friends what Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for
me.n-Matilda Borman, Pennington, Iowa.
If you know of any young girl who
is sick and needs motherly advice, ask
her to address Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, and tell her every detail of her
symptoms, and to keep nothing back.
She will receive advice absolutely free,
from a source that has no rival in the
experience of woman's ills, and it will, if
followed, put her on the right road to a
strong, healthy and happy womanhood.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound holds the record for the greatest
number of cures of female ills of any
medicine that the world has ever
known. Why don't you try it?

At competitive drill Tuesday the
number of mistakes made in each COM
pany was as follows: Company A, 1856,
company b, 147, company C, 179, COM
pany d, 112. The two last named COM
panies executed only about half as
many different movements as compa-
MES A and b, and this accounts for the
fact that they stood so low in mis-
takes. Company B, under Captain I'm
hauer, performed its e in a
much shorter time than did any of the
other companies. AS a result of the
drill, company B stood first in the bat
talon of cadets mi company d first in
the girls battalion. The judges were
Captain Heavey, Miss Margaret McIn-
tosh and Messrs. A. Nelson and It'd
ball.
The individual drill took place after
the company drill. The boys were lin
ed up first and inspected and many
were thrown out on account of dirty
guns, and un-neat dress. In the com
petition that followed, chance seemed
to play a great part, for those whU
were, before the drill, universally con-
sidered the best drilled cadets, were
among the first Ito go out. When all
the others had failed in some point,
Freeman Bower alone remained to Ear
ry off the honors and to be awarded
the gold medal.
In the girls contest chance was alb
sent and the best drilled ones stood up
longest. Miss Edith Miller took the
medal for the best drilled girl in the
young ladies' battalion.
1t is a noteworthy fact that in the
company competition in both cases, the
honors were carried away by the 'lit.
tle' company, and Miss Miller and Mr..
Bower are both first preparatory stu.
dents.
The following is the program for
commencement week beginning June
10th:
Saturday, June 16-Alumni reception

gram at the auditorium, which will

shad FlshinE A Failure

The shad fishing season officially legal
ly closes today, June 18th; while scarce
ly any have been caught for over a week,
and many gave up fishing two weeks ago
The catch of shad was the smallest
ever known on the Delaware river and
bay. Many did not make expenses while
the best fishermen made only tair wages
1t cost from 500 to $500 to rig out a shad
net and pay expenses OF boat rent, extra
clothing, and other incidentals. The price
OF shad ranged from $22 to $4S, with an
average OF about $35 per 100 Some who
fished late and got higher prices may
average more. The catch range from 3OO
shad to a net to 1000 for the best nets.
Last year the catch ranged from 1000 to
1000 for the best nets.
The catch in the big seine at Washing
ton Bark was a failure. The highest
catch was only 2lO where in years past as
high as 1000 use to be caught i'll a haul.
The U. S. Fish Commission steamboat
Fish Hawk, closed its Matching season at
Gloucester on June I'd, and sailed for the
Kenebec River. The shad Matching sea-
son was also a failure, only 242, 900 young
shad being Matched out. In years gone
by more than 100, DOC, 900 fry was Matched
out every season on the Fish Hawk.
1t is the general belief that the festive
shad is leaving the Delaware waters be-
cause OF the pollution of the water by
sewerage and poisonous acids which not
only kill the young but are obnoxious to
the old fish. There is shad along the
coast, but they are forsaking their old
spawning grounds and seeking new ones.
Shad were caught in tie st. Johns River
this year and several barrels were shlpp-
ed to New York market this season.
That is something unknown before.

Must a Signals

/. On and after July l, 1906, patrons
OF the rural delivery service will be re-
CURED to display signals on their boxes
when they leave mail in them for car
iers, to collect, as, after hat date, car
iers, when serving their routes, viii not
be required to open and examine any
mai boxes except those to which they
have mail to deliver and those on which
signals are displayed to indicate there is
mail for carriers to collect.
2. Those patrons whose boxes are not
provided with signals must attach thereto
some device which, when displayed will
plainly show passing carriers there is
mail to be collected. 1t is not necessary
that such device shall be either complica-
ted or costly; a very simple arrangement
will answer the purpose.
8. Carriers must lower the signals on
boxes after making collections, provided
no mail is left therein; and must display
the signals when they deposit mail for
patrons, unless the patrons have made
request to the contrary.
A.. The carriers must be instructed to
promptly inform patrons, of their routes
with regard to this Order, and you
should, without expense to the Depart
ment, use such other necessary means for
informing them as will secure a complete
understanding and full compliance by
all patrons on the date mentioned.
Very respectfully,

His seth Birthday Celebrated

Capt. Charles Somers and wife, were
surprised by a number Of friends who
called at their home on Monday evening
to remind him that he had passed his So
birthday, which found him wonderfully
well preserved and as active as many
men are at 40 years of ages. His vocation
is that OF a painter at present and m
which often calls him to dangerous places
and giddy heights but he never fails to
take his place beside his fellow artists re-
CARELESS of their youth and feels just as
much at home apparently as did he many
years ago at the masthead of a square,
rigger when he choose to roam the deep
blue sea for a livelihood. He has been
shipmate with many narrow escapes from
death and thilling experiences and his
narrative of them is very entertaining.
His service in the navy as a civil war We
teran ended his seattle practically but
even since then he has served as coast
pilot on numerous occasions. The writer
once had the pleasure of spending a
month with him on one OF his coast trips.
The Captain is a musician of no mean
ability and he took down his fiddle
which has been in his possession for a
half century, charmingly entertained his
his friends by the rendition of some of
his old favorftes such as, "Marching
through Georgia. ''The girl / Left Be-
bind me-" were some OF the selections
rendered.
The pleasure of the evening was en-
HANGED by the singing OF a touching bal
lad entitled "In a Crowded car on a
Rainy Day, by Chas. Walker.
Those present were; Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Walker, of Philadelphia, Mrs.
Robt. Seely, of Grand Junction, Col.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Barnart,
Mr.. James Lloyd and "Aunty
Bright" Mr.. and Mis-. Chas. Hew.
lit. After %paltaking of refreshments
the party retired to their home wishing

Value of Il Small Ad.

Many with a small business say it does
not pay to advertise, unless it is done in
an extensive and expensive way like the
department stores in large cities. If one
will analyze an advertisement Of a large
department store it will be found to COM
prize from ten to twenty small advertise
ments each complete in itself and de-
scribing a definite article. Each adver-
tisement would be suitable for a small
business.
Printers Ink, the little school master
for advertisers wisely says; Instead OF a
struggling production covering half anews-
paper page, couohed in vague terms and
exploiting half a dozen separate articles,
the uptodate adj, is a compact little an
nouncement OF a few inches, treating a
definite article in a definite way, and so
c~leverly put together that it cannot be
overlooked.
