THE JUDGMENT OF DANIEL

Mr.. Dan Towers was wondering how
long his money would hold out, and
whence the next would come. A less
TRANQUIL man might have worried; but
TO him ii was a pleasant process, as
when a child wonders about the stars,
or the habits of angle worms, or the es-
tate of being a big man. Below his hotel
veranda, up the broad sweep of Orchard
road. the Tickshaw lanterns fitted past
like a procession of jogging firefiies;
street lamps overarched with WaTingin
foliage of a mineral, theatric green, cast
here and there a snowy glare of light

The reelection of Thomas L. Reilly as mayor of Meriden. his third term, icillsbe gratifying news to the demo- crats throughout the state. There has never been any question in the minds of honest thinking and conservative citizens that Mayor Reilly has all the qualifications that go to make up the chief executive of a municipality and he citizens of Meriden demonstrated once more that they have sound judg- ment and that they knew their man x hen they named Mayor Reilly for another term. Any one who knows Mayor Reilly knows that he is broad minded. conscientious, careful titizen, whose sole purpose in office is to do right and to do the square thing by his fellow citizens irrespective of party. Those familiar with the ad- ministration of the municipal affairs of Meriden do not hesitate to say that he has been one of the best chief ex- ecutives the Silver city has ever put into the mayors chair.

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women l am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weak nesses, fibroid Jumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclay says. it is worth noun tains of gold " to suffering women. i
