Trunk line shares were rather heavy; this was attributed to semi-of-

 freight advance is not 10 per cent, but only 3 per cent 1t is doubtful, how ever if any speculator took the trouble to reason the matter out The question with the speculator is not, whether rates will be advanced, but whether the inside speculators will use such an advance to put stocks higher.

SANDY ATE THE "PARRtTcH.r
But He Had to Play Mean Trick on
Himself to Do It.

An old gentleman in a village not
far from Glasgow breakfasted every
morning on porridge, and, in order to
save fuel, cooked whole weeks sup
ply every Saturday. One Friday morn
ing the stuff seemed very cold and
very salt, and he felt he must abandon
the struggle to eat it. But his stub
born nature forbade any such thought.
So he fetched the whisky from the
cupboard, poured out glass and
placed it before him on the table.
Now, Sandy" said he, "if we eat
that parritch yen hae that whisky, an
If we don't ye won't"
He stuck again at the last spoon
full, but keeping his eye steadily on
the glass of whisky, he made bold,
brave effort, and got it down. Then
he slowly and carefully poured back
the whisky into the bottle with a
groad grin, as he said to himself:
Sandy. MY lad, did ye thot time. ye
ould fule!"

ST. LOUIS BUSINESS MEN Or
GANiZE TO HASTEN RE
TURN OF PROSPERITY.

and Wages Up.

st. Louis, May "A business Or
ganization to be known as the Nation
al Prosperity association of St. Louis
has been formed as the result of a
conference held by business men here
during the past three days, and Fri
day night a formal address was issued
to the business interests of the coun-

fications of the association through.
out the country for the betterment
of all classes of business.
1t is stated that the association has
for it's object the encouragement Of Il
return of prosperity and uplifting of
business interests generally
The officers of the association com
prise the executive committee and
they are Chairman E. c. Simmons,
formerly president of the Simmons
Hardware company, and vice chair
man, w. X. Bixby, formerly president
of the American Car and Foundry
company.
In the formal address issued Fri
day night it is set forth that the pur-

To keep the dinner pail full; TO
keep the pay car going; to keep the
factory busy; to keep the workmen
employed, and to keep the present

I'VE have formed a business Or

having for its object the encourage
ment of return of prosperity sooner
than might otherwise occur without
help, OF without some active efforts
ON the part of the business men. We
believe that present conditions are ex-
ceedingly favorable to this.
Fundamentally everything is all
right-the basis of our prosperity
comes from the soil and the products
of the soil have never had greater
value than at present.

body in the United States in this
movement-which we think has great
merit, and which has great possibili-

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 Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
ciousthan any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia i. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIG NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means 80 much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l 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 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
san tell what suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

What Lydia K. Pinkham's Vege-
