An Enterprising Salesman.

On the tenth anniversary OF his
wedding, a merchant in Washington
was approached by book agent who
offered for inspection a varied assort-
ment OF books, particularly dwelling
on the beauty and value of new edi-
ton of the Bible. He said:
81 have been told that this is your
wedding. anniversary, and you could
make no better present to your wife
than family Bible. and this splendid
edition which sells for SIS at retail
I am now able to offer to you for $40
spot cash"
He made the sale, giving a beauti-
full imitation morocco case, which he
claimed was genuine. Then he has
tened to the home of the merchant.
and. using the same argument, induced
the wife to buy another edition OF
the family Bible as an appropriate we'd
ding present for her husband.
When they exchanged presents that
evening. there was quite a commotion
in the home, and the husband was be-
side himself with rage, forgetting that
both of those Bibles contained the in
junction; Let not the sun go down
upon thy wrath Being unable to go
downtown, he telephoned to a friend
to go to the station. and bring that
agent to the house without fail. The
friend hastened to the depot, caught
the book agent, delivered the message
and insisted upon the agent delaying
his departure. The willy fellow, full of
business, replied:
II offered him a copy of this Bible
for SO and he put 1t off for the time,
/ am very sure that he has repented
and wants a copy as n wedding present
for his wife. He has undoubtedly told
her of the bargain. and she wants 1t.
cannot remain over. however. for one
sale, but you can take it to him. and
he will be delighted. and will forever
thank you for having overtaken me.
The price is only $40, and you had bet
ter take it to him, as his wife is prob
ably crazy to get it."
The friend paid the $40 and took the
Bible home to his anxious friend: and.

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good 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 +. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and etfica-
cious than any combination of drugs.

Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman'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 l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer

I,CNLlSH VERDICT
81. Louis Man Gets l)ccls-
ION After lO-Round
Bout Last Night,
BOTH MEN ARE FAST
In the Prclimiuarieo Some
Real Entertainment
Was Furnished.

Charley Picrson of st. Louis beat
Jimmy Connors of Kansas city in a
ten round bout of the Il. NJ. a. {. at
the Grand last night, according 10 the
decision OF Referee Jimmy Kelly.
That it was close bout is shown by
a small demonstration which the
spectators put on after the decision
was announced. That II was sur
prise to many goes without saying
But on the striCtest splitting OF
hairs PiersOn deserved the decision,
A less observing referee would nave
declared the bout a draw. Perhaps
in due to the loser Jimmy should
have reserved decision, for the boys
really did need to go longer route
to Cinch the winner
PieTson was more clever than con-
nors, he had ring genoralship, a
greater variety of attack and led out
better than the Kansas city man.
Connors was a harder fighter To
have summed up every round by alb
solute science would have found the
points very closely matched. When
Pierson landed a blow Connors almost
invariably came back with one just
as hard If Connors swung wild Pier
son beat the air as well.
1t was a fast bout, Pierson grew
peevish several times and waded into
the Kansas City boxer where he met
real opponent They swapped
punches time and again and 1t was as
often PiersOn who got the worst of
It, as it was Connors The latter
landed his punches with greater
fcrocity than Pierson, while he pos
sibly missed a few more and received
a greater number of blows from his
opponent than did Pierson. 1t was
Picrsons fight by a draw.
There were some real live .prelim-
inaries, finishing mp with a knockout
I'm the semi windup. The latter was
administered by Kid Mack in the third
mihute of the first round with Eddie
Fulton The prelimnaries were four
rounds between Dick Bosier and Kid
Miles, and four rounds between Harry
Appellate and Erick Carey. In the
latter bout Carey got the decision.
