TWIN MISTAKEN FOR
PATIENT AT HOSPITAL

New York, Sept. 25.-William H.
Klugemann, who is employed as a
clerk in the offices of the general
storekeeper in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, was telling his fellow-workers
there yesterday a sad story involving
his being mistaken for his twin
brother and being forcibly put to
bed in hospital, although an en-
tirely well man.
Late Saturday Klugemann went
to Albany to visit his twin brother
who was in the Albany Hospital
suffering from appendicitis AS he
walked through one of the wards OF
the hospital a nurse who was carry
ing a tray filled with dishes at sight
of Klugemann dropped the tray and
exclaimed: =
Heavens! There is my patient
walking around in a delirium."
Other attendants rushed up and
Selling Klugemann, dragged him to
the nearest bed Struggling and
protesting, the astonished man was
forced into the bed and bags oil
cracked ice were placed on his head
Three or four attendants wer busy
holding down the supposed delirious
sick man when nurse hurried W
with the news that Klugemann's bro
Their, the real patient, had been found
peacefully sleeping in his room. The
cracked ice was then taken from
the navy yard mans head and apollo
gies were offered

SEEKS TO ADOPT
WOMAN As YEARS OLD

Chicago. H., Sept. 25.-Legal au-
thority to adopt a 45-year-old widow
is being sought in the Circuit Court
Edward Lees, a Chicago widower,
who is at present in Guadajara, Mex,
makes the strange request in a petit
ton filed yesterday. Mrs Marie Grace
Lees, his daughter-in-law, who is
now with him, is the person whom the
petitioner would legally place on the
same footing at law as though she
was his own child.
The court action becomes neces-
sary in order than an insurance po-
Icy which Lees has carried for years
on his life will not become worth
less. The bylaws of the company
in which the policy is written pro-
vide that none but blood relatives,
adodted children or parents may be
beneficiaries. Lees only son, who
married Marie Grace Lees, is dead,
so he has hit upon the adoption plan
rather than let the policy lapse.

LYDTA E. PTNKHHM

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 battle 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 pc
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 w0man'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 l had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re.
stored health and 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,

COMPETITIVE DRILLS.

The company and individual
competitive drills we're held
Wednesday. During the pastf few
days, much rivalry had sprung
up between the members of the
different companies and every
man went into the drill prepared
to do his best. Each company
was allowed a half hour to go
through the most important
movements and the captain of
each company was permitted
to use his own Judgment in the
selection of the drills to be exc
cuted by his company. During
the course of the drill, the mis-
takes were conspicuous for their
absence. The contest was so
close that the judges were COM
pelled to confer for a considerable
length of time before making
their decision. The final decis.
ion gave the first place to Co. G,
with Co. b a close second.
The individual competitive was
