When Charles p. Norcross. now a
well-isnown Washington correspondent
began his newspaper career he was
sent to cover one of the courts. Hi:
business was to look at the docket and
find the facts about any case that seem
ed to him to warrant him In writing
about.
One afternoon he discovered an entry
that said one William Burns had been
arrested and fined $40 for stealing q
martingale from James Jones, neigh
Dor.
He recited tines facts in Sn introduce
tory paragraph, and then went on
"This criminal was justly punished, for
the pretty little martingale he stole was
the joy and comfort OF the wife of
James Jones. She kept it in cage in
her parlor, and when. tired with the
work of the day, the martingale began
to pour forth those strains of melody
for which our Pittsburg martingales are
famous, she found great pleasure. Such
miscreants as this man Burns should
not be allowed at large, especially when
they descend so low as to steal harm.

Miss KofeMeUon0kd,

More than likely you speak she same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearinr-down painS. fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS. sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Restored health has meant so much to me
that cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other s. fering women.
" For a long time / suffered unfold agony
with female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck. and no ono
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strong. and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it is"
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham,
has under her direction. and since her
decease. been advising sick women free
Of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass

NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained Is Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
y DR.. Williams Pink Pills.


General debility is a term that covers
o multitude of cases where there is no
ncute disease, yet the patient continues
TO lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In a great
majority of cases DIR. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.

They ptdn,t Worry Hin.

The son of a Germantown minister
committed a petty domestic crime
few days ago, and, fearing the wrath
to come. he hid in the barn. A vigor-

the day passed on his parents became
alarmed. 1t was not until dark that
the small fugitive reappeared, and by
that time anxiety had overcome all

that his sons appearance was hailed
with relief rather than anger. Pres

EDWARD AND HIS CLOTHES.
Averages Two Suits Week, Not
Counting His Uniforms

King Edwards tailors have a stand
ing order to provide him with about
100 suits year, exclusive of military
uniforms and court costumes.
These suits cost between $50 and
500 each, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. The king selects cloth and
patterns and is said to make his selec-
tions so rapidly that in ten minutes
he will choose $1,000 worth of clothes.
When the king has selected a certain
cloth the tailor uses it for no other
customer. IIis hour for a seance with
the tailor is IL a. IN. and he is said TO
be a marvel of punctuality. He is also
a pretty good lightning-change artist
for a mere monarch. He gets out of
and into his clothes with extreme dis
patch.
There is only one other man i'm the
world, the kaiser, who possesses more
uniforms than King Edward. The en-
peror's outfit, it is said, includes 1000
DOMINIC gorgeous costumes.
King Edward wears them only when
the exigencies of the king business de-
mand that he should make show Of
himself. He is, however. most particu-
lar about what might be called the Off
cial part of his outfit.
He has an inventory made once a
month of his uniforms in stock. accom-
panied by a carefully prepared state
ment of their condition. They are
never allowed to become shabby. The
slightest blemish on a uniform con-
dennis 1t and 1t becomes the perquisite

are four, two of them being expert

wardrobe at buckingham palace Is 90
feet long by SO wide and with its ac-
emulation of coats, overcoats, waist
coats, trousers, shirts, underwear, ties,
boots, shoes, socks, stockings, hats In
great variety, ETC., it looks much like
the stockroom of a ready made outfit
ting establishment. The apartment de-
voted to the kings official clothes is
still larger.
When there are big functions on
hand the king sometimes is obliged to
make dozen changes a day and he
never puts on fewer than three differ

the first summer blowing given II
should not be over deep. or clods will
be turned up which no summer rains
will pulverize. Turn blowing to depth
of three to five inches, followed by a
