Frequent backache and distressing

The question that troubles women
Is how can a woman who has some fc-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,

Haiti Was Too Strong.

The force of old associations, as
Samuel Beverley learned one Sunday
morning. is something against which
to be on guard. After thirty years
of service as a railroad man, chiefly
in the capacity of conductor, Beverly
had retired, and was spending his
DAYS quietly in his native town.
Just after he had taken his accus'
toned seat one morning in church,
he was requested to perform the duty
of an absent deacon by assisting in
taking up the collection. He was pro.
ceeding decorously along the aisle
with the plate, when. halfway down
the aisle, he came to the Atkinson
new. on this morning Mrs. Atkin'
sons Uncle Harvey, who happened to
sit next the aisle, had dropped on
into a peasant little nap.
When Beverly espied the old man.

suited to the place and in a twinkling
became official. He tapped the sleep

Mrs Hamilton was talking with Mr

memory Of her husband. She was

her hopes dashed 10 the ground by the

some women will, through evil as well
as good report; or if he did not forget
il, he put these considerations one
side, and set himself to win the notice
Of Mrs Hamilton.
"She, from the first, professed to

her husband, and, no doubt. he heard
of it. But he made no use or this idea
until after the return of her husband,
and he was warned not to 90 near the
premises of the HamiltOns Then he
shot himself one morning on those
very premises with r pistol, without
doubt stolen from Dan Fry, in the
hopes of its being laid to Mr.. Hamil-

that he was shot by Mr.. Hamilton, and
the wound on his bead--a slight one
was to be the groundwork Of his
claims; for, no doubt he planned the
whole scheme of villainy before the
shooting Of himself.

Mrs. Fry found in the lining of his
