CHIvALRY NOT DEAD
INCIDENT IN SLEEPING CAR OF.
FeREp AS PROOF.
Spontaneous Tribute to innocence Of
fered by Male Passengers Greatly
Impressed the colonel--still Good
in Human Nature.

There's good deal of chivalry in
herent in human nature" said the
Colonel meditatively-"if you can only
get at II. ] admit it's not always easy
to do so. but one scene | witnessed
rises to my mind whenever conversa
tion turns on this point
at was in the South, on a through
express to Washington, and the porter
had Just started in TO make up the
beds for the night. He had begun
with the rear end of the car, and after.
making one or two beds he had desist-
ed for some reason or other. so that
ali the other passengers except the
occupants of their seats still retained
their places reading or idly waiting
for their turn. The car was crowded
not place vacant.
lone of those whose beds had been
made was a pretty little girl, charm
ing picture of innocence, with red
cheeks and soft, appealing eyes. Wen
call her Lucy for convenience. Evil

in a sleeper and she was still ignorant
of the mysteries of undressing behind
the curtains of ones bed while hang
ing to the Stats of the bed above. In
deed as events proved, she imagined
passengers were required to disrobe
in the dressing room at the end Of the
car and then proceed in their night
robes to their resting places.
when disturbed by the porter she
had taken her little travelling bag and
disappeared into the women's dressing
room at the front end of the car. Ten
minutes passed. when suddenly a
white figure appeared in the aisle fac.
ing us, and paused, while a pair OF
frightened eyes were raised TO our
astounded faces. 1t was Lucy clad in
her nightgown. Her hair was braided
in two long thick plaits that reached
below her waist. Amid a silence vn
broken save by the rumble of the
wheels she began the journey toward
the berth at the rear end of the car
her little bare feet flashing in and out
beneath her night-dress, like two tiny
white rabbits.
For a moment we gazed at her
stupefed, unable to grasp the situa
tion. Then one of the men near the
| front took off his hat as she passed
and in an instant the hat of every mar
present was doffed. Down the aislt
she came, with downcast eyes, like al
angel of innocence, nor was a syllable
uttered until she had found refuge
behind the curtains of her bed at th'
rear Of the car. 1t was like the pass
ing Of bride

decay of chivalry," repeated the Col
onel at the close of the story, with

spontaneous tribute offered to limo

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends aud
neighoors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinlshams had no money, and
little credit Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove,
gradually filing gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
1T away freely. They hired a Job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia L. Pinliham'a
Vegetable Compound, and these wers
distributed by the Pinkham sons Ia
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties es
the medicine were, To a great EXTENT
sclf-advertising, for whoever used is
recommended IL TO others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
| lily had saved enough money TO COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success og
the enterprise were assured. until to-
day Lydia Il. 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 Z. Pinkham herself did cot
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 expo
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve 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 vast collabora-
tion 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 Z. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was care fully 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 f. Pinkham dropped hel
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinhham
now the mother of large family, tool
it up. With woman assistants, some a.
capable as herself, the present Mrs
PinlSham continues this greatwork and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad
vised how to regain health. Sick wo

seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a 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 a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days Il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in n 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 great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that Just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; so, il 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
1t 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 tho
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu
liarto the female sex, and Lydia L. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with

labor of love.

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN;
PEOPLES SAVINGS BIG.
Record OF Financial Institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.

prosperity All OVeI tne CoH'H'o"'
Ottawa, Canada, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one OF
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions OF Can
ada, and the business of the charter
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion OF
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
noted in the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as to the COM
position Of the Canadian banking sys-
TEN, 1t is claimed that Its flexible
currency has many commendable
features, and without which the last
few months of the year must have pro-
duced money strlngency with prob
ably disastrous results. II is felt that
d wider field of credit in the Dominion
is needed. and consequently the capi-
| tai of many existing banking institu-
tions has been increased and several
new banks are in progress of organiza-
ton.
The chartered banks OF Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence OF the gen.
eral public to a greater extent than
ever before. The total deposits of the
people in these institutions last year
were S522,3l70 900, which shows an in
crease Of over $4,000 900 for the year.
In actual money in bank probably no
other country in the world, compare.
lively speaking, can make better
showing than Canada.
The total deposits OF the Canadian
people in the Government savings
banks, In special savings institutions
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of s609, $4,000 This represents
an average credit balance OF over
$lo0 per head Of the population Of the
Dominion. and 1t is stated that the
only other country In the world thai
approaches this record is Denmark
where the average credit balance II

Chicago, May 23.-United States
District Judge Lands this afternoon
entered a formal order of adjudica-
ton in bankruptcy in the case of
John Alexander Dowie, first apos-
tie" of the Christian Catholic church
in Zion.
Attorneys representing Dowie, the

itors, agreed to file a stipulation with
the court tomorrow which will enable
the judge to decide all points in con-
troversy including the question Of
ownership of the $22, 100000 worth of
property involved.
The Voliva adherents claimed a vic
tory in the first skirmish in that Dow
lie was declared insolvent by the or

that the court refused to appoint a
receiver for the Zion property and
that pending final settlement man

The Voliva people were enjoined
however, from disposing of or encum
