PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,.
coo workingmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces over $500 a year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
years course of study at the col
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu.
ton by the London Society of Com
positors. by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.


Runs on banks, as all the world
knows, are often stopped or restricted
In the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that run was
to set in on a certain Monday morn
ing--for 1t had been robbed Of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
In the newspaper reports--and IL this
run was not kept Within reasonable
limits the bank would have TO close
Its doors. 1t had plenty of money, but
not plenty Of cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Monday morning
q man put a fresh coat Of paint on the
front doors of the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather .
walk of 1t. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con-
trary, they came on with caution and
ideliberation. So careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that 1t took longer to pay off one of
them than 1t would have taken or
dinarily to pay five.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby. in run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa.
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham.
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days II
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature Sc
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegeta BILE foods OF
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex.
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was rare combina
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pacu
liar to the female sex, and Lydia Il. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and curet
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as g
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis strucl
Lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interest:
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

About the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. / did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then | began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but l became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and |
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take a hot bath e9ery
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and |
kept getting better, and by the time
used four boxes of Cuticura ! was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. d. E. Blankenship, 319

argued that the medicine which waRr
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the.
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, ami
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots ana
herbs were stepped on the stoyes
gradually filling a gross of bott2eA.
Then came the question of sc7lin4N
it, for always before they had givsR
it away freely. They hired . lob
printer to run off some pamphlets.
setting forth the merits of the usdS-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhamie.
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham Sons 10
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties OF
the medicine were, TO great extcnAp
self-advertising, for whoever. used ~

mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the FANS
lily had saved enough money to CONN.,

that time the growth and success %
the enterprise were assured, until tot

Capt. Amos Stubs, putting like an

ALASKAN CABLE Is BUSY.


Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception of the
wonderful development of Alaskan In.
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month Of July amounted to 324 600
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside. which is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end of the cable, will
carry about 200 miles of new cable
for the extension of the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit.
ka to juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point branch line will be ex'
tended down the Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketcbikan, which Is only go
miles from Fort Simpson. the English
town which Is to be the terminus OF
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
IL is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as it taps a coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. 1t is expected that this new
line will be completed by November 1.

Ada M. Barnes was born in Arlington,
July 10, 1858, and died October 81, 1906,
aged AZ years, 3 months and ~ days.
She was married December ID, 1888, to
Frank II. Fuller who with two children,
TRUE and Merrill, survive her. She was
the eldest of eight children, seven of
whom are still living.
As a wife and mother she bestowed
upon her family wealth of love and de-
votion. Here there existed that COM
radeship which placed her first in their
plans and ambitions, their Joys and sor-
rows, their trials and their triumphs.
As sister she never lost the loving in
terest in her brothers and sisters which
was hers in their childhood home. To
her friends she impaired the sunshine
of her own pure self. In all things she
sought to see the beautiful and the
good while she extended to all misfor-
tune a sympathy which amounted to a
tenderness. Her life was the beautiful
life of true, womanly woman.
She was helpful member Of the Ar
lington woman's club and with her hus-
band was identified with the local farm
ers' club. Mrs. Fuller was devoted to
the affairs OF her household and yet
found time to share in the ambitions
and purposes of her sister women. 1t is
needless to say she was beloved by all
who knew her The last simple service
was held in her late home Tuesday
morning, the Rev. Mrs. Woodmsn of
Paw Paw giving the eulogy.
