Saturday afternoon the evange-

He goes into the stores and stops
upon the street to talk with men
and in every case has received

men each morning, while the
men gather at the II 90 FF
clubrOoms for a similar service.
These meetings are led by men,

Sale to centralize the French and In
dian power of the west in one large
settlement. defended by stronghold
that would be impregnable to future
attacks, had resolved on striking one
quick decisive blow before the colony
had become thoroughly established
BY rapid, secret marches they had adj
vanced to a point within dozen
leagues of the river, and there had
awaited suitable moment for attack
One of their number, an Illini youth
made prisoner in their previous raid
and adopted by his captors, was sent
as spy to mingle with his former
clansmen. He had reported to then

seeker after knowledge, and above
all. possessed of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In lSi3 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children. three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned DAYS It
vase common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
III the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if 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
IL was ner pleasure 10 search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu.
liarto the female sex, and Lydia T. 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
out money and without price, as 9
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interest,
of the Pinkham family, as this elias.

fearful depression, so when the Centen

of income had to be found.

Work on the barricade, which was
semi-circular in shape. went rapidly on
during the day. Tonti had expected
TO take command of this portion of his
force himself, but the chevalier in
terposed. pray give me the post. as
token of our reconciliation, and to
AFFORD me an opportunity OF proving
my qualities as a soldier. You can
best direct the whole defense from the
fort; besides, think you are needed
there"
Tonti reluctantly consented. He or
dered a succession of brush-heaps to
be prepared between the fort and the
barricade so that il the attack came
at night, as it probably would. the light
from them would aid the defenders.
He went about among his Indian al
lies, assigning them positions and en-
couraging them. There was evident
need of this latter work, for ne found
Pat the hostile approach OF the Iro-
quvis had brought back memories of
past raids, and that the old terror OF
the hated name had been awakened
The French soldiers, being more ac-
customed TO fighting with long range
weapons, were kept to guard the fort
The remaining whites, the priests
Renee, and the nuns were also among
those on the top of the rock. They
prepared quarters for the wounded. and
made all ready to attend those whom
the coming fight would render fit sub
tects for their care.
The sounds of preparation had
ceased. All was in readiness. Every
eye OF the defenders was strained

sun had set in a cloudy sea of blood

with an ominous shake of the head.
From across the river came the even
ing pipings OF drowsy birds. A whip
poor-will was heard to call; a chorus
oil frogs added their deep bass-note to
the even-song Of nature. Suddenly a
savage yell was heard. answered by
another from the tree shade facing the
barricade. In an instant the quiet
scene was changed. A thousand dusky
figures leaped from their hiding-places

was broken loose; the battle was on.
An answering yell came from behina
the barricade, whose red-skinned de-
tenders danced up and down workin,
themselves into a frenzy to meet the
coming hand-to-hand conflict. The
chevalier had given orders to the front
row of his force, who were armed with
guns, not to fire until the enemy had
come within ten feet of them. This
order was obeyed, and the invading
line had almost reached the barricade
before shot was fired. The Iroquois

Many of them dropped before the fire
The rest hastily retreated and stopped
at the edge of the clearing, contenting
themselves with wells and an occa-

the close. "Parhleu, recollect. You

suddenly his face changed. The flush

Tonti was about to reply when

name called. Soon the sound OF run
ninG steps was heard shutting over the
hard ground. the voices came nearer,
the door burst open, and the figure of
young chief darted into the room.
Blood streamed down his breast from

his head showed that he had been

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money. and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a Job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine. now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, TO a great extent.

recommended it 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 of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia +. Pinltham and her Vege-

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
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 ID
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
| 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 a vast collabora-
ton 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 F.. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully 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 e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinlsham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no Other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
