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 stepped on the stove,
gradual. h.ling gross of bottles.
Then caMe the question of selling
it. 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-
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 a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
| ily 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 f. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
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 it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful opre-
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 women the world
over, and represent q vast collabOra-
ton of information regarding the
treatment OF woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia f. Pinkham worked her
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,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men. this advice is Yours for Health"

great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST
The Greatest Wheat Crop of the
Continent.

The Greatest Wheat Crop of the
Continent.
The year that has just closed has
done a great deal towards showing the
possibilities of Western Canada from
an agricultural standpoint. The wheat
crop has run very near to the 1OOOOO,-
000-bushel limit that was looked upon
as too sanguine an estimate only
short time ago, and the area that has
been broken to fall wheat for the COM
ing harvest will go a long way to-
wards enabling the farmers or the
West to overlap on the 1O0,OOO.OOO-
bushel estimate next year. And whiie
the spring and winter wheat nave
been doing so well during the past few
years the other cereals have been keep
ing up with the procession. Rye and
barley have made immense strides, ana
peas and fax have been moving stead
lily along. Dairying also has been sue
cessfully carried on in the new prov
inces, and in every stage the farmer
has been striking it rich" To such an
extent has the success of the west
taken hold of outsiders that the rush
of Americans TO Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which was looked upon as
marvellous last year, bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions of acres of free home
steads available, which the building of
the new railways will render accessl-
BILE to the markets, new wheat lands
will be opened up ere long. Amongst
the first to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity presented will be the American
settler. In a large number of Ameri-
can cities Dominion government
agents are located. who are able and
willing TO give the latest and best in
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open up,
and there will be no abatement OF the
rush to the Canadian prairies during
the coming season. Some time since
a poet in the columns of the Toronto
Star" had the following stirring lines,
which throb of the Western spirit:
There's stir in the air. there's thrill
through the land. there's a
movement toward the Great
West:
And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned TO the country
that we love the best;
For It's Canada's day in the world S
calendar. and to this merry toast
let us sup:
Heres to the land. the young giant of
the North,
Where the prairies are opening up!'
They come from the East and they
come from the South-they
come DER the deep rolling sea-
They come for they know they will
dwell meath a flag that makes
all men equal and free.
Then. once more the toast. and LET
every man rise, and cheer ere
he sips from the cup:
Here's to the land, the young giant
OF the North,
Where the prairies are opening ups

tied that he is unable to see anything
before him, but he can see plainly any
thing at the side Of him. There have
been but few cases of its kind before
and they have been caused by w.iskey
or tobacco. Leach has never used
either, but has been a great coffee
drinker and the specialists have decid-
ed that the case has been caused by
this. Lesieh stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
Of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records Of the specialists Of this coun-
try this is the first case ever caused
by the use Of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one Is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement the young
man will have to give up coffee or the
rest Of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined-Registcr-G Ga

he lost his way and would have ridden

he lost his way, and would have ridden
into a strong force of rebels had not
a young colored man explained the
situation so clearly as to enable him
TO avoid the enemy.
This led him to observe closely,
and in the last year OF the war he
was cognizant of so many cases in
which the loyalty and sympathy of
colored men were put to severe test
that he became the friend of their
race for all time. Captain Harris, by
the way, commanded a detachment at
the famous Dahlgren raid on Rich
mond, in March, 1864. He led the
charge on the Westham road, in
which he was severely wounded. He
was captured a few days later, was
taken to Richmond, and, on the theory
that the Dahlgren raiders had intended
to capture jefferson Davis, was sell
fenced by a drumhead court-martial to
be hanged.
Two months before he started on
the raid Captain Harris had round a
Mrs. Brooke and four children starv-
ing. He secured food for them, and
provided for them the ordinary COM
forts OF life. Mrs. Brooke told him
that her husband was in the Confeder-
ate army, and that she herself had
been the schoolmate and friend of Mrs
Jefferson Davis. A few days later she
wrote Mrs. Davis at Richmond, tell
ing the story of the Union officers
kindness TO herself and children, and
saying in conclusion: If Lieutenant
Samuel Harris. of the Fifth Michigan
Cavalry. should ever fall into your
hands, do what you can for him for
my sake
This letter reached Mrs. Davis, and
when it was announced to Mr.. DaviI
that one of the officers of the Dahlgren
raiders (who had penetrated the outer
Notifications of I.lcbmond) had beer
sentenced to death and was to be ex,
ecuted at once, Mrs. Davis asked hi:
name. On being told that the wounded
officer waiting in a wagon outside wa1
Lieutenant Samuel Harris, she remind.
ed her husband of Mrs. Brooke's let
ter, and sent Captain Waller, of Davis
staff, to inquire as 10 the identity OF
the officer under sentence of death.
Waller came to the wagon, and after
a few questions told Harris that he
would not be hanged Mrs. Davis haf
secured a reprieve
Harris was sent to Libby prison.
where his wounds received careful at
tention. All of Mr.. Davis Cabinet in
sisted that he should be hanged, bu:
Mr.. Davis declared that he should be
treated as any other prisoner of war
The surgeon gave Harris one chance in
a hundred to live, but he recovered
and is active in business in Chicago
to-day. In 1895 Captain Harris Wis
tied Mrs. Davis at NarraganSett Pie.
and thanked her for saving his life in
1864. All the circumstances were re
| called, and the Captain learned by {
visit to Richmond the whereabouts OF
| the daughter of Mrs. Brooke and 9th
ers who had played a part in this lit
| tie war drama. In 1897 Captain Har
riS met in New Orleans Colonel Ar
mand Hawkins. Provost Marshal il
Richmond in 1864. who was preparin:
to hang Harris when he received al
order from Mr.. Davis not to do so

this story, but it is worth the tellin:
