Had No Complaint to Make.

After a warm discussion Of the
merits of female suffrage, occasion
ally by the reports of the recent
troubles in the British house of COM
mons, two men decided to lay wager
on the subject. One of them de-
clared that eight out OF every ten
men were in favor of allowing the
women to vote, while the other man
bet that this was not so. They de-
cided to hail the first ten men they
met and get their views, taking them
as an average. Going OUT i'll Market
street the betters encountered a
stolid looking man. Do you believe
in woman sufferage?' they asked,
There was no hesitation in the mans
reply. Sure, he said with a growl,

AN IMPORTANT CASE
Patient Cured of Ataxia Gives the
Entire Credit to DR.. WilIiamS
Pink Pills

Mrs. S. c. Wellock, of ia Cleveland
Avenue, Everett, Mass, the wife of
an employee in the government works
at Chelsea, says:
81 had been troubled with nervous
ness for ten years and the disease
kept growing on me- Then / learned
that l was suffering from locomotor
ataxia. l had terrible tremblings in
my right leg which would get rigid
and when this happened in the street
uad to stand still until it passed
away to keep from falling. My right
arm felt as if a thousand needles were
pricking it. The sheet touching my
knee in bed would nearly cause me
to scream out with pain and both
knees were so weak | could hardly
stand.
81 had to use cane and be helped
about by my son. Then the pain be-
gan to settle in the calves of my legs
and the muscles became numb and
quivered constantly The cords I'M
der my knees seemed to be drawn up
tight and the terrible shooting pains
In my legs would nearly drive me in
sane. My toes became numb and at
times would prickle as if needles were
being thrust into them My eyes be-
came dull and black spots f1oated be-
fore them. My heart was very weak
my attention was called to DR..
Williams Pink Pills and l bought sew
eral boxes right away and soon felt
relief. I was so pleased that / kept
on taking them until they cured me
entirely, and l have had no symptoms
of the trouble for over a year.

League of Peace in Europe.

A league of peace already pretty
well exists in Europe by virtue of cir
cumstances. Austria-Hungary is
full of domestic discussions; Russia
is slowly grinding herself into pieces
by the attempt to maintain an abso-

and is up to her eyes in debt to
France; France has good many mil

do otherwise than shape her policy so

Safe. Sure and speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met these
three prime conditions as successfully as
AlIcock's Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drugs and are
manufactured upon scientific principles OF
medicine They are sure because nothing
goes into them except ingredients which
are exactly adapted 70 the purposes for
which a plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their medi-
cinal qualities go right to their work of
relieving pain and restoring the natural
and healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original and
genuine porous plasters and like most
neritorious articles have been extensively
initiated, therefore always make sure and
get the genuine Allcock's.

There are two things that every I'M
rrejudiced mind should consider in
connection with the fifty years trial of
prohibition in Maine. The first is,
that the law itself has been amended
sixty times since it was placed upon
the statute books: second. the last
legislature repealed the law. but the
governor vetoed the act.
Sheriff Pennell, as a democrat. ran
on ticket opposed to prohibition. and
won in the banner republican county
