THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
And a Mere Representative Was No
Great Shakes Among Them,
Anyhow.

Senator Hemenway tells of an incident
that occurred during a political campaign
IN Iowa.
In one of the towns il had been ar
ranged that, when the big orators of the
day had had their say with reference to
politics, there were to be a number of
entertainments of the side-show variety to
be held on the common.
A pompous politician, who had served Q
term IN the state legislature, and was by
reason of that fact on extremely good
terms with himself, while endcavoring
with a number of ladies to make his way
through n dense crowd that surrounded
one OF the shows, founu himself unable TO
proceed further because of burly indi-
dlvidual whom he could not thrust aside.
Drawing himself up to his full height the
politician tapped the offending one on the
shoulder, saying as he did SO: "Herel
Make way there!"
Who are you. that you should push me
round that way!" demanded the native
representative of the people, sirl"
exclaimed the politician, Indignantly.
The man grinned. ooh, that amt

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods. displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side.
burning sensation in the stomach
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dig,
illness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures Of female Ills Is Lydia
T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
IL regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases Of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years Il has been helpinp
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation OF the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
ihelr pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
Mt the Pinkham Laboratory at LYNN,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb.
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkbam's Standing Invitation
toWomen.-Women suffering from any
form OF female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, ut Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. PinlSham is daughter
in-law OF Lydia f. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is v0vy foolish If she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

is uncertain when this latest order

will be strictly enforced or not. New
ortheless the fact that several vice.
roys are following in the footsteps
of the imperial decree. and that the
authorities at Pekin are demanding
.taa}-tho others comply With the Inn
penal mindatc, leads to the impress
sion that this form of Oriental bar
balism may be approaching its end,
A more striking indication of the
adpouon of not only western civili-
zaiiOn but of Christianity is found
I'M the decree just issued by Chang
Clln-tung ordering the New Tesla
mfnt to be introduced into all the
schools Of The Hupch and Human pro-
yi1ccs over which he rules The de-
cree states that the permanence and
high quality of Chinese civilization
is due to the fact that the Coufu-
elan classics have been taught In
China for over 1900 years. The
yiccroy admits, however, that west
ern nations have some power which
the Chinese do not posses. He Is
sure that this is not due to any SUI
peTority Of the westerners over the
Chinese, but TO the fact that the
western nations have in their pos
session certain teachings which the
Chinese have not yet mastered He
thinks this superiority is due TO the
Bible. and in order to make the Chi
nase not only equal but superior to
their western competitors, he orders
the New Testament taught, alongside
the Confucian classics, among the
5S.O0O,OO0 people over whom he
rules.
Perhaps the most striking indica-
ion Of the Chinese desire for western
progress is found In the recent impe-
rial decree attempting to establish
the Christian Sabbath. The decree
makes the Sabbath day a legal holt
day 1t is not probable that the de-
cree will be largely followed through
ont China, as indeed 1t is not probable
that Chang Chih-tung's decree in re-
gard TO the New Testament will be
largely observed. These DEGREES
however, show the asprations'o OF the
Chinese for western civilization,
