ject in the Maverick, had been
thinking seriously of proposing
marriage to some young man but
having made up my mind in this
respect, l am confronted by the ser
ious problem OF whom to propose to.
l am young and have often been
told that l am pretty. l have beau
tiful black hair, large dreamy
brown eyes, am a good conversa-
tionalist, vivacious and feel certain
that would make a good wife.
There are half dozen young men
in Mountain Home, any one of
whom feel sure would accept a
proposal of marriage from me but l
am afraid to trust wholly to my
own judgment. Cannot you in
some way help me to decide?''
Still another says: although l
was we'll aware what leap year
means to the gentler sex; that it
happens only once in four years,
and that il affords the only legiti-
mate opportunity for girls to assume
the reins in the most important af-
fair of their lives, the mention of
the tact in the Maverick of only
ten months remaining has stirred
me to renewed activity. Every
other year l have had to sit in a
dimly lighted parlor or swing i'll
at ease in a hammock, or repose
/ moro or ieSS ororef,,1ly a., , o-.oo-
ious position on canoe seat, or sip
ice cream soda from a spoon, won
dering if the slow thing ever, ever
would speak. However, now that
l have matters in my own hands,
it is not nearly so easy as | had
| imagined it would be. In the first
place l know that am pretty,
have a good form and possess many
of the qualities which men ad.
mire in women, so that it i:
reasonably sure that would be
accepted by any one of a large
number of marriagable men il
Mountain Home. The RESPONSE
bility of having to choose from
so imany almost causes me I,
falter in my determination to max,
some man happy. Will you not il
some way give me the benefit O
your knowledge of the men O
J Mountain Home?'

l like very much l am quite
sure that he has been on the eve
of proposing for some time, and al
though have given him every OPP
portunity, he cannot seem to get
up the necessary courage to give
me the chance to say Yes. Of
late l have been thinking the mat
ter over and the thought has come
to me that if this young man has
not the courage to propose, would
he, after we were married, be the
strong, brave man whom every
woman would have to fight life S
battles for her. This doubt has
been growing in my mind and if
he does not propose next Sunday
night when we return from church
shall take mat ters in my own
hands. But before | take definite
steps, I wish your counsel. l am
considered pretty; have wavy,
brown hair, blue eyes, a good
complexion, white, even teeth and a
cupid's bow mouth. l believe
that l stand excellent chances of
being accepted by large proportion
OF the elig IDLE young men of Noun
tain Home. II you can, in some
way, help me to decide with whom
to cast my lot, you will receive
my sincere thanks
If, in response to such letters as
these, the Maverick did not in
some way cndeavor to assist the
young ladies of Mountain Home
we would indeed have betayed our
trust and be unworthy of the con-
! fidence of the community.
To express candid opinion we
would say in short, that there
are few eligibl young men ir

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia z. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection Of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
iness which is not "open and above
board"
It means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told 2
Come and See.
Was there ever such person as

Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept

Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills

LONGER AND HIGHER FLIGHTS

TESTS.

LemaHS, France.-TuaSd evening
Wilbur Wright of Dayton. Ohio, made
the longest and most successful flight
OF the series of aeroplane trials which
he is conducting here, remaining in
the air 5:ii The machine circled the
field three times at the rate of thirty
six miles an hour. On passing the
grand stand Wright gracefully de-
scended until within speaking dis
tance of the spectators, who wildly
applauded his exhibition of mastery
over the aeroplane, after which he
SCARED like a bird to new heights and
continued his flight until reaching the
starting point, where he finally gently
landed
The aeroplane scared down the
course and then abruptly, almost
recklessy. swooLed and turned and
came majestically down the field, fol
lowing the lines of trees, after which
1t returned to the front of the grand
stand With admirable ease and pre-
cision, the aeroplane here descended
to lower level, seemingly to drop the
spectators a polite aerial courtesy.
Then it rose again and resumed its
trip, ascending zig-Zags here and there
until it completed three circles of the
course. Finally it came to the ground
at the starting point and Wright again
was received with applause. There
was scarcely vistage of breeze while
the flight was taking place.
AS evidence of the interest that is
being tayen in Wright's experiments,
crowd of 1000 persons, including
many women, patiently waited
throughout the day until he should de-
eide to take out his machine for a sail
