He spoke his love in German-she answered not a word In French he tried to woo her-the maiden never heard. He tried his luck in English, in Irish-all in vain; in Greek, Turkish and Latin, and in the tongue of Spain. And then an inspiration came to the anguished youth. "The universal language" he cried, '1ll try, for sooth!" He kissed the demure maiden and pressed her to his breast; she understood that language, and-well, you know the rest.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work con- bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baff1e the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world @ remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and effica- cious than any combination of drugs.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 "Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years 1 had been suffer. ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times 1 could hardly walk. About two years ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health ard strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women.'
 What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff it will do for other suffering women.

they marched out of the building.
There was no sign of panic at any
time and few minutes after the first
alarm was sounded all the children
were assembled in the schoolyard
waiting for the word of dismissal
which would permit them to go home.
Fortunately all the smaller children
were in rooms on the lower floors of
the building and many of them did
not know of the fire when they were
called upon to march out by the reg

UNLESS COMPELLED TO.
Japan Will Not Resort to Force
Against China.


Toxic, March 9.-"Japan will not
resort to force in connection with the
seizure of the steamer Tatsu Maru
unless compelled to do so by the ac-
tion of China"
This statement was given to the
Associated Press correspondent by a
high authority in the foreign office,
who, continuing, said:
1--WE propose to exercise the ut
most patience and fully understand
the difficulty the central government
of China has in dealing with viceroys,
who possess extensive constitutional
powers. 1t is quite apparent that the
vieeroy of Canton acted hastily in. re-
lying upon information which stated
that the Tatsu Maru was engaged in
smuggling arms. He conceived there
fore that he had a right to seize the
vessel, when the facts show that the
vessels papers, including a manifest
of arms consigned in regular form to
firm In Macao, were entirely legal.
A representative of the firm at Macao
boarded the vessel, accompanied by
the Portuguese authorities, before her
seizure by a Chinese vessel. She was
undoubtedly then in Portuguese ter
ritorial waters. The claim of Japan
that this is a clear case of violation
OF her national rights and an insult
to the flag was proved by the Chinese
themselves in offering to restore the
ship, together with further promise
to reprimand the officials who lowered
the Japanese flag"

tives. It is understood that Count
Boni's consent to take her children
away from France, which is required
by the decree of divorce, already has
been secured.
A secret marriage In France is al
most impossible, because the law re-
quires the publication of the bans a
fortnight in advance. Furthermore,
unless there is a marriage contract, a
French marriage provides that the
property of both husband and wife be
held in common and Madame Gould's
lawyers have arranged no such con-
tract for her.

Washington, March 9.-News from
ST. Paul that Governor Johnson is In
the race fer the presidential nomirN
ton has centered the attention for the
time being on the North Star state
Democrats of all wings and branches
of the party are intensely interested
and there is no question but what
there will be some interesting devel
opments from now on.
( Summed up briefly the opinion pre-
walls that the opposition to Bryan
will center in Governor Johnson and
that those Democrats who have been
looking for some Moses to deliver
them from Bryanism will now turn tC
Minnesota's chief executive.
The Bryan men seem confident that
1t is too late now to make much of q
showing against their man. but at the
same time they are worried. If John
son and the opposition can get one
third of the delegates at the Denver
convention it will mean a tremendous
fight. There is plenty of available
material and any number of Demo
Gratis who will get into the fray al
once.
Much interest Is taken in what New
York, New England and the Middle
states, Pennsylvania and Ohio, will
do. The anti-Bryan faction will un
dertake to get all the uninstructed
delegates they can, while in some 10
calities it is claimed that Johnson del
ega:es will be elected.
