How often do we hear women say: ''It
seems as though my back would break, -
or Don't speak to me, | am all out of
sorts? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and " the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some arrangement of the organs
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. 1t has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
1T is the most universally success
ful remedy for womans ills known to
medicine
Read the convincing testimonials of
Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely.
Mrs. j. G. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
" have suffered everything with backache
and female trouble-I let the trouble run on
until my system was in such a condition that
was unable to be about, and then it was |
commenced to use Lydia Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound If had only known how
much suffering would have saved / should
have taken it months sooner-for few
weeks treatment made me well and strong.
My backaches and headaches are all gone and
l suffer no pain at my monthly periods,
whereas before took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound l suffered intense pain"
Mrs. Emma Cotrely 100 East 18th

FEATS or INDIAN MAGIC.
xn Entertai ment by Pawneer on an Open
Rrairie.
From the Omaha World Herald.

From the Omaha World Herald.
T. H. Tibbles. Vice-Presidential candidate
on the Populist ticket In 1904. has spent years
and years on the frontier and among the
Indians. and he can tell some good stories
about Indian magic. Here Is one Of them;
once during the border days I found
myself tamped near a village Of Pawnees.
Tho Pawnees paid our camp a formal visit.
and 10 amuse them one OF our party. who
was quite a prestidigitator. did some simple
tricks with cards. dc, The indian smiled
and invited us over TO their village next day.
where they said they would show US some
Indian tricks.
We went. Tho day was ine and sunny
and about noon We were invited out on the
open prairie TO see the tricks. Az far as We
could see there were no preparations whatever.
We stood around In a big circle outlined by
the chief.
Finally a tall Indian walked cut into the
centre Of the ring and harangued the crowd
for a few minutes. Then another Indian
came over to me and asked II I wanted to
examine q deer's head. freshly killed. which
he had brought. I looked It over carefully.
1t was all right. ] was then told to take the
head into the ring to the magician.
That Indian didn't have o stitch Of cloth
ing on, but on the ground lying near ives Q
red blanket. I picked up the blanket snd
examined It. II, like the deer head. was al
right. I took a cookbook at that Indian. too,
Il then paced out to the edge Of the circle.
keeping my eyes on the Indian and the deer
head. =.
This head was an ordinary sized one. and
had two big antlers on 1t. And that Indian
picked up that head, stuck one end OF an
antler in his mouth, and right before US all
gradually swallowed II. 1t took him nVe
minutes to get II down. but 1t gradually went
down his throat, or somewhere else. But.
remember, he was entirely naked, ana there
was no place TO hlde II.
After finishing the read the Indian turned
around and bowed to the four points OF the
compass And then. suddenly, there stood
another Indian beside him. Where that sec
ond Indian came from none Of us could tell
He certainly did not walk acroFs the open
circle.
"The second Indian reached down, took UP
the blanket from the ground and cast 1t over
the first Indian. The blanket gradually sunk
TO the ground and lay fat.
we white people were beckoned TO come
forward. I picked up the blanket, There
was nothing under Il. The first Indian han
disappeared, and In his place stood the second
Indian, who was not at all like the first
Now, all that took place right out on the
open prairie. and In the centre OF a ring o,
whites and Indians. I had myself examined
the decr's head, had shaken hands with the
Indians, had lifted that blanket from the
ground. 1t was the greatest piece OF magic
ever saw"
The modern Indian has, to a great degree
lost the power to do these feats OF magic,
which the old-tlme Indian was versed In, ana
the best ne can do Is a few sleight OF mana
tricks which can be done by almost any
person.

Mr.. Justice Brewer OF the United states
Supreme Court, In lecturing TO his law class
at the George Washington University, told
the following story:
Il knew of a case once where two darkte.
snapped mules. One OF them was an old
hand at the business, and In making the
trade he represented his mule to be I years
old. and told Of many good traits the an
mai had not. This was in February. About
wo months later the other darky began TO
realize he had been victimized In the bar
gain and that the beast was fully u years
bid. So he decided TO go back and tell ths
swlndler he had lied to him about the AMI
NAL, However, owing to II being the busy
season Of farming. he was not able to GO
until about the middle Of June, He FINAL,
did 90. and told his man what he thought OF
his rascally misrepresentation aboIt the
spule.
you say" said the other fellow. "da;
when you got dc mule in February he wa
years old, and now It's June and he's u
years old?"
Yes. 1 dol" was the angry response
