COULD NOT GET
STRENGTH BACK
Every Sufferer from Debility Will
Be Interested in the Cure
of This Rhode Island
Woman.

Some women recover their strength
very slowly after an acute illness, after
childbirth and other conditions of ex.
IRENE debility. What is needed to
assist nature is tonic and, especially
in the case of the nursing mother, care
must be taken that it is a safe tonic, one
from which the increased strength OF
the mother will be shared by the child.
Debilitated persons are very liable to
have weak digestions and in such cases
the tonic remedy must be one that is &C.
ceptable to the most delicate stomach.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have beer
very successful in curing weakness in
women. A recent case is that of Mrs.
J. R. Campbell, of No. 20 Union street
Lonsdale, r. l., who says:
after the birth of my little girl was
in weak condition for several months
I suffered terribly. My leg was swollen
and was just skeleton. My stomach
was SO weak that I could not retain
more than quarter of teaspoonful OF
beef tea at a time. grew weaker and
weaker and my life hung in the balance
for ten weeks with the doctor trying tc
bring back some strength.
"My husband at last asked me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for the doctor
seemed to have done all he could fol
me. I started taking the pills after ]
had been in bed for ten weeks. began
to gain almost Immediately and after a
good trial of the pills was able to get up
and walk. I recovered my health and
strength and praise the pills highly"
DR. Williams Pink Pills are the great.
est discovery of modern times for suffer,
ing women. They are unequalled as a
blood builder and therefore as tonic
for the whole system. They have fol-
years been curing anemia, rheumatism,
after-effects of the grip and fevers and
such nervous diseases as neuralgia, ner.
vous headaches, dizziness, St. Vitus'
dance and even partial paralysis and 10.

NOT DEAD BUT "BURIED."
Civil War Veteran Wants His Name
Of Tombstone.

Towanda, Pa, Sept. 16.-George II.
Richards, an old Civil War veteran OF
this city, whose name by some mis-
take was placed with his regiment
company and rank on one Of the tomb
stones erected over the soldier dead in
the cemetery at Gettysburg, has be-
gun another effort to have his name
removed. He wants to be buried in
only one cemetery when he dies, he
says.
He made the discovery that he was
officially dead and unofiicially alive
many years ago, but all sorts of red
tape have 50 far blocked his efforts to
have his name removed from the
tombstone. He is now anxious to have
this done without further delay, as he
is old and does not expect to live a
great many years longer.

Honolulu, Sept. 16.-Under a deed

25 cords of wood. On May 20 she

RIGhT-SIDED TONGUE.
Is the Tongue of the Talkative Man.
Person Who Can't Keep a Secret.

From the Lincoln Chronicle.
From the observations made by ply
siognomist it appears that the tongue
when quite still can be as eloquent In Civ
ing it's owner away as when 1t is wagging
16 to the dozen. This Is a hard fact for
a-silent man to swallow-in silence. His
only remedy is to keep well SO as to OBJ
viate the necessary injunction of the doc
tor to put his tongue out for by this
thrust out sign the doctor shall know
him.
The tongue of the talker when obtruded
inclines to the right side of the mouth, we
are asked to believe, whereas the seldom
used tongue gravitates to the left side.
Orators, preachers, and barristers are en-
lowed with the right-sided tongues. YER
bally parsimonious persons have left
sided tongues.
Furthermore, 1.-The tongue that shoots
out straight without turning or wavering
indicates a solid, reliable man of affairs. -
Tongues that turn out indicate impracti-
cal natures. A downward, dropping
tongue belongs to a person born to pow
erty and a ready eye to the hopeless side
of things.
The cruel tongue fiattens and broadens
when extended The delicate speaking or
gan with curled up edges Is the property
of an imaginative and artistic being.
When the tongue issues forth as If gripped
In a dental wise, 1t signifies love of life
more than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the individ-
ual who thrusts forth his tongue to its ex-
tremest verge is person to whom no Sc
oret should ever be confided, for he Is an
irresponsible chatterer.

THE PENALTY OF HUMOR.
Fatal to Candidate for High Office to
Be Comedian.

From. the New York World.
Although one of the few really humor-
GUS speakers in Congress, Representative
Cushman soon saw the danger of being
classed as a professional funny man. 1t
meant popularity and always assured him
an audience, but he had serious ambl .
tons. and he came to realize that too
many jokes or too many good stories
would be a bar to the political future he
had planned for himself. So in his later
years he avoided those exhibitions of wit
with which he entertained the House
when he first appeared in Washington.
The American public Is light-hearted.
1t loves to laugh. But it Is suspicious of
the greatness of any one who Is habitually
witty. 1t Is safer for public man to be
dull and shallow than wise and sparkling.
Somehow humor is not quite respectable.
Buffoonery will always make campaign
crowds shrek with delight, but II is fatal
for a candidate for high office to be a
comedian. Lincoln's reputation a story
teller was far more of handicap than an
advantage when he became President.

coed in politics is ito be a solemn ass"

BROTHER TOM-Come home; mother
sick. Toad.

Condensed novels, epitomized tragedies!
Who can take this glimpse at darkened
homes and not feel the ina gination stir
with attempts to build the remainder of
each unhappy story. The husband and
father who has deserted wife and child;
the daughter, longing TOR wandering
father; the brother for whom the mother
on a bed OF illness asks, but asks in
vain.
It is as II the door of some closet had
been suddenly opened and shut, and af-
forded a momentary glimpse of its grin
ming skeleton It is like the ship that
passes up in midocean, bearing Its load
of humanity we know not whether. We
know not whence. 1t is like those swift
" moving pictures the traveller gets from
the window of the elevated train as 1t
dasies through the tenement district of
any large city-for a moment we are
face to face with a drama of human life
which the next moment swallows up for
ever.
These three little personals are the
saddest thing in a paper that includes
columns of deaths, funerals and obituary
tributes. Death itself Is not a terrible
thing under ordinary circumstances and
in the ordinary way. Vt is the due and
benefcent order of nature. The grave
mercifully receives to unkrowen rest the
forms that at length have done with the
battle and the fever and the sorrow that
fingers by 1t is touched with a sweet and
sacred solace, sanctifled, by hallowed
memories illuminated by immortal hope.
The only real Trouble in this world Is
that which Is caused by wrong-doing. It
is not the boy or girl that fies out at
Crown Hill under December's snow or
ApriPs rain whose memory rends the
heart with unmitigable grief. but the boy
that went wrong, the girl that has gone
astray They are happy homes where
husband and father left a legacy of brave
and loving deeds, even though poverty
and pain. and where mother and children
may take up the battle with a smile and
without shame. Thew are the unhappy
ones where wrong-doing has cast its ir-
