weak and my hands colorless. l was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
l had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when mt
my work. l frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
."About two years e I began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame ! could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied mo terribly.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec.
commended to mo by q friend, afte. I had
failed to get well from tho Doctors

SPRING LAMBS AND PEAS.
Writer Devotes Some E!oquence "a
Subject Gastronomical.

When the poet spoke of ethereal
Madness he meant spring lamb and
peas. How well he knew them!
Lamb, the type Of innocence, and the
pea, the first fruit OF civilization, away
back on the Aryan SUBMITS. The pea
grows nowhere in n wild state. 1t is
the product OF tender care and the
hearts s~olicitudc. and hence fitted for
gentle association, and all the quiet
moods OF nature, where no anger.
:iohble, or tumult comes. When a
sharp wind arises or frost hurls a
menace from a clear night, spring
lamb and peas vanish, like a bird
that feels n prying breath upon its
nest. But when the shadows shorten
and the robin Is abroad In the early
morning and the apple blossoms are
whitening the air, then appear the
lamb and peas. with a smiling saluta-
ton. Here we arc-gathcr about u.s."
Don't we? Don't we taste the cthe-
real mildness? Don't we feast our
imagination on the blue sky and the
misunderstanding State Journal.

HERE REsHOFF's
MOTOR BOAT
IS VERY SPEEDY

Bridgeport. Aug. S-over a course of
known length in Bridgeport harbor ]. II.
Hoadley's motor boat Den. designed and
built by Charles +. Herreshoff. went
through the water. under three-duarter
pressure, at the rate OF 90 miles an hour.
The designer himself drove the craft,
and the only other one aboard was his
mechanic. Charles J. Johnson. Herreshoff
said after the test that the Den under full
power with her spray shields on would do
40 miles an hour. This would make her the
fastest boat in the world.
The first D. n broksin two and sank
some weeks ago in the sound while being
pushed for speed by Herreshoff and the
designer nearly lost his life The "a horse
power engine was raised from the bottom
and Herreshof designed new and stout
er hull y feet long This is two feet short
cr than the former Den.
The model was also modified. as was
evidenced in yesterdays test. when the
forward half OF the craft stood out OF the
water while going at any speed. The
boat would have gone outside yesterday
but for the rough water. SO she raced in
side the brcakwater.
Recently the Dixie in England made Is
miles an hour.
