LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and woman's work COM

remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.

The Indians on o,n 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 a remedy for their Pc
cu'iar ills, more potent and effiea-
cious than any combination of drugs.
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as ths
standard remedy for woman's IFS.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of SIS N c.

GRANT IN CIVIL LIFE.

When Captain Grant resigned from
the Army, old Mr.. Dent gave him a
| thousand dollars. With this he built
and furnished log house of five rooms
/ on eighty acres of land which her
father had given Mrs. Grant as bridal
, present. The house was built after a
plan conceived by Mrs. Grant, and was
fashioned and furnished with an eye to
the artistic; and to the end it was both
homelike and cozy, and it was not the
mean makeshift affair it is supposed to
have been. With three negro servants,
two white horses, a wagon, a COW and
the log house on eighty acres Of land,
the Grants began civilian life in Mis-
souri, after Grants resignation. The
circumstances of that resignation are
well known. The character Of the man
who compelled it, Robert Christie Blu
chanan, captain of the 4th Infantry,
as he was at the time, is not so well
known. How exacting a martinez he
was is indicated by this story told by
an officer of the Army: When a lieu
tenant the officer in question had occa-
sion to report to Buchanan, then
colonel. AS he saluted and stated that
he had the honor to report" etc, Blu
chanan sharply exclaimed, You will
report, SIR, when you are in proper uni
form" The young man left the room
and asked a friend outside what was
the matter with his uniform. Moth
ing" was the reply; you are in correct
uniform" Again he essayed to report,
with the same result. This time an
other friend who passed the culprit in
review said: Your collar is unlocked"
This fault corrected, the young officer
was allowed to report at last But Blu
chanan builded better than he knew.
Had not Grant been subjected to the
of this harsh experience
and been held back so as to gradually
gain the knowledge and experience re-
quired for high command, he might
have been blighted in his career, as so
many others were. by too early sub
lection to the IimeIight.

nese declare they are in Hawaii to

nese declare they are in Hawaii to
! stay.
The cane field laborers have found
out that they could make more money
| by working in the sugar mills, with
I! the result that semi-skilled labor of
the mills has been taken away from
white men and given to Japanese.
The same spirit of progress which for
merly carried them on to the mainland
of the Union will now keep them in
Hawaii for they see that the chance to
improve their condition is better now
that immigration has been curtailed
and the door of a greater hope on the
mainland has been closed.
Servile he may be now, but the Ha-
waiian Japanese will not be content to
remain SO. When the Toxic govern
ment used some rough language to
Washington at the time of the San
Francisco school question, Hawaii
knew all about it and the cocky Jap
anese were bold enough to boast that
the japanese flag, instead of the Stars
and Stripes, would soon fly over the
islands Events have cooled their
patriotism to the point of keeping their
mouths shut, but it is safe to say that
nine out of every ten Japanese in the
islands think that Japan could take
Hawaii whenever it pleased, and that
it is likely to please.
Several thousand veterans of the war
with Russia are now working in Ha
wall. They have been the nucleus for
many wild rumors of military organi-
cations and uprisings, most of which
were made of whole cloth. But ii is
true, nevertheless, that these veterans
keep up organizations, just as veterans
of wars in every nation do. They may
be seen on Sunday marching about the
country in military formation, but they
declare that their only purpose is a
social reunion.
60 much alarm was caused by this |
sort of thing that the territorial leg
islature last year passed a law re- |
quiring all owners of firearms to Peg
lister them with the county clerks. The |
result was that the japanese were |
shown to possess fewer firearms than |
the people of any other nationality.
But even in Hawaii there are those |
who doubt these returns. 1t is known /
that the United States War Depart |
ment took a serious interest in this |
registration and examination. An Off |
Ger Of the Russian general staff also |
came to Honolulu TO inquire into the |
results OF the registration and 10 ex- /
anime the japanese veteran organiZa-
ton. The japanese are sly and clever,
but their reputatio for trickery has
become so general that they are being
closely watched in every quarter.
