HIS EQUAL IN HEIGHT,
LincOln's Pleasant Little Interviev
 With a Coal Heaver.

LincOln's Pleasant Little Interview
 With a Coal Heaver.
 When Lincoln was on his way to as- sume the office of president the train was delayed at Freedom, Pa, by an accident to a freight train that was d little way ahead. Lincoln was accom- panied by Major Sumner and Colonel Elmer Ellsworth of the celebrated regi- ment of Zouaves. Neither Major Sum- ner nor Colonel Ellsworth was tall, and as they stood beside Lincoln on the rear platform while he made his address they looked shorter than they really were. At the close of Lincoln's short speech coal beaver called out, Abe, they say you are the tallest man in the United States, but I don't believe you are any taller than I am." Lincoln re piled, Come up here and let us meas ure." The coal heaver pressed his way through the crowd and climbed on the platform, where Lincoln and he stood back to back. Turning to Colonel Ells- worth, Lincoln said, (Which is the tall er?'
 Colonel Ellsworth, being so much shorter, could not tell, so he climbed on the guard rail and, putting his hand across the top of the heads of the two men, said, 'I believe they are exactly the same height" Then Lincoln and the coal heaver turned around and faced each other. The crowd shouted loudly when Lincoln took the black sooty hand of the coal heaver in his and gave a hearty handsnake to the man who was his equal--in eight.-Thomas H. Tibbles iE Success Magazine.

 "Well, did he?''
 "Why, you know, 1t never occurred to me that he wouldn't. There were two of them, and they swore terribly. But that man! He had on long ul- ster with deep pockets, and he rammed his hands way down into those pockets and said in the most ridiculously calm voice, T won'tr The men were so surprised they nearly dropped. I wasn't bit afraid. All I could think of was that the man must hold up his hands or he'd get hurt. So I just danced round him, saying, Hold up your hands! I said 'please.' I called him dear and fool and idiot But he just said I won't! and kind of moved forward. Of course the holdup man didn't want to shoot very badly, and he thought the man would give in, so he backed up as the man moved for ward. The other man walked behind with me-"

 of the first house. We lived in the third Then I saw what the man was up to and felt so ashamed of my silly squeal- ing. I started to sprint, thinking that would ring the doorbell of the first house and get help, but the second man caught me. And then he seemed to get a kind of signal from the other one, for he let go of me all of sudden and jumped right on the mans back. And then the gun went off. It was the most awful sound I ever heard. I sat down on the sidewalk for minute.
 "Well, when I came to my brother Bob was there and a whole crowd of neighbors-they'd heard the shot and had run out just in time to see the men run away through the woods-and ev- erybody was talking at once. The shot hadn't hit any one, but they thought I was the victim and the man was hay ing a serious time. But just as soon as he found out I was all right he and that silly Bob wanted to go off and chase those desperate men. But I wouldn't let him go. I told Bob he could go alone if he wanted to, and I cried like such little fool that it tickled his van ity, and he stayed. I thought he'd been brave enough, and I guess I told him that was ready to hold up my hands or some such thing. for he seemed aw- fully glad all of a sudden"
 She stopped, and Marian, waiting for the end, asked finally:
 "Well, what's all this to do with your turning him dewn?"
 "Everything in the world," said Alicia complacently. "I didn'tv' Then she laughed delightedly. You see, I've been engaged to him ever since. He came to New York because there was more business here, and you see if I don't get even with that Polly for tell ing around that I refused him!'

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
 To Consider

FIRsT.-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 ziness and sleeplessness.
 SECoND.-The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female ills is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can.
 For thirty years it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, inf1am- nation of the female organs, weak ness and displacements, regulating the periods perfectly and overcoming their pains. It 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 at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many of which are from time to time published by permission, give ab- solute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
 Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to oWomen.--Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs Pink ham, at 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. Pinkham is daughter in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease she has been ad- viSing sick women free ofcharge. 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 very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

 Stafford Springs seems to have it's organization akin to the "pluguglies' or "dead rabits'' of Baltimore, or the "Molly Maguires'' of Pennsylvania. Here the title given the band by out siders is the "Foxville roughs '' Whether the title is libel, so far as it relates to locality, it is true as referring to the individuals. The darkness of each night seems to cover multitude of rowdy acts People complain that these roughs crowd ladies and gentlemen from the side walks, infest the depot platform from whence they send out insulting cries to passers by. The east part of the village is much frequented by them at night. On Monday night they smash. ed in the door of a tenement house of the Granite Mill company, occupied by man who had incurred their ill will. On previous night they as- saulted another house in the same To- cality, but retired ill bad order after one of their number was felled by a stone from the hand of one of the as, saulted ones. On Tuesday night John Fee, the Chinese laundryman at the Springs House, an inoffensive man, was assaulted by number of these, near the iron bridge, and was most brutally pounded and his face severe ly cut.

 Guarantee of Cure.
 The changeable weather of Spring is directly responsible for the preva- lence of catarrhal troubles in Stafford at the present time.
 As a result, finders Jacobsen has had larger sale for Hyomei the past week than ever before in the years that he has handled this reliable treatment for the cure of catarrh.

It is breathed through neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and it's balsamic, antiseptic healing penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose, throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, healing the irritated mucous membrane and effecting a complete and permanent cure.
 If there is a single catarrhal germ in the system, Hyomei will search it out and absolutely destroy it, con- pletely eradicating the trouble. The remedy has made so many cures among Anders Jacobsen's customers that he offers to pay for it himself if it does not benfit even the worst case of 
 The complete outfit costs only $1, consisting of an inhaler, medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei, while extra bottles of Hyomei can be ob- tained for 50 cents. There will not be even this small expense if Hyomei does not cure, as finders Jacobsen will your money.

The Violin.

It seems strange to think that my violin was once a tree, but I do not know what else could have caught the music that lies within it, waiting for the touch. It must be centuries old, and through all those years it was listening and learning, weaving in with its growth the forest melodies to sing to generations yet unborn.
 Wind and wave and song of bird, crash of thunder, drip of rain and mat ing call-all of these are in the fiber of the violin. And the thousand notes of sea and storm, the music of the wa terfall and stream-what wonder that 1t Is so nearly the human voice! There must have been a love story in that forest, for it sings love, love and only love, though I do not remember hear Ing it until I knew vOu-Fuel.

 'No, I think not" began the con- victed one, when he was interrupted by cheerful voice shouting:
 Say, Bill, if you aint got anything special to say would you mind giving me fifteen minutes of your time just to let these good people know that l am candidate for their suffrages, and"-
 Hold on, there." shouted the sheriff. "Who's that?"
 "John Blank" volunteered some one, naming a rising young politician, who has since represented his state for a number of years ill the house of repre- sentatives at Washington.
