WHY WOMEN
Write LETTERS
To Lydia z. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia Z. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
qenuine?'' Are they truthful ? +"
q Why do women write such letters F"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia Z. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham 3 Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.

the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
/ Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,

Curious Church Architecture.

The parish church Of Ormsbirk, In
Lancashire. England, has tower and
a spire side by side. The tower is built
over the porch at the west end, and the
spire is placed as closely as possible
to It. The origin of this architectural
freak has not been ascertained, but
there is tradition to the effect that
when Orme, the Saxon pirate from
whom the town derives its name, de-
cided to construct a kirk, or church,
as an expiatory offering for his evil
deeds his two daughters quarreled over
the design for the structure. One de-
termined to have tower; the other
was equally resolved to have steeple.
As neither Of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun-
try.

WITNESSES SAY
MRS. COVER HAD
FEAR OF THIEVES

Lewiston, Me-, May 10.-Testimony to
show that Mrs. Sarah Cover was OBJ
sessed with an idea that people were
stealing from her and that such was her
frame of mind from 1910 to the time of
her death was introduced Wednesday
morning at the trial of the Cover will
case in the supreme court at Auburn.
In all nine witnesses were put on by
the defendants. This included Mrs. Mar
garet Oliver, who testified Tuesday but
was recalled Wednesday to complete the
cross-examination. The general evidence
was to the effect that Mrs. Cover was
constantly accusing people of stealing her
property; that she did not talk coherently
and that her habits of life were unclean
Charles Crowley of Lewiston, former
police officer of that city, testified to hav-
ing been called to Mrs. Covers home one
wet, cold night at about 1 o'clock. Was
accompanied by officers Casey and Rear
don. She would not let them in the front
door and they got in the back way. She
told them that two Jews were trying to
rob her.
Witness took man named Mccarthy
and Reardon into the house and said they
were the Jews and she was satisfied She
grew quieter.

GIPslEs VISIT AUGUSTA
Arrive Wednesday Afternoon but Are
Soon Set Moving Again

The band of Gipsies which is making a
tour of Maine and leaving the usual I'M
savory record in the different places visit
ed, arrived in Augusta Wednesday after
noon, presumably enroute from Lewiston,
on which city the gang inflicted it's pres
ence earlier in the week. Whether the
whole gang visited Augusta or not was
not ascertained, but there were two
teams, apparently representing the same
outfit that visited Augusta last year.
City Marshal HARDWOOD appointed Depu-
ty Marshal Glidden as committee of one
to receive the Gipsies and accord them
the usual privileges and that officer found
the visitors in front of City hall. He did
not suggest that they remain long in the
city, and in fact he took measures to get
rid of them as soon as possible, for
though he allowed the men to make some
necessary purchases he did not allow the
women to leave the wagons and then he
set the outfit going up Bangor street in
the direction of Riverside drive.

MUSK IN THE RAW.
Il Looks Much Like Axle Grease, but

Il Looks Much Like Axle Grease, but
Has Worse odor.
Musk in the raw looks good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk Of COM
merce is obtained from the muskrat
is a mistake.
There is obtained a somewhat SINH
lar perfume from the muskrat, but
most Of the supply comes from the
musk deer, a creature that is carefully
reared in India for the sake Of the Sc
erection. The secretion Is shipped in
the crude state and is used not only
In the manufacture of the liquid per-
fume sold as musk, but also In very
small quantities to give strength and
staying power to many perfumes made
from the essential oils Of flowers.
Curiously enough, the blossoms Of
two native plants have noticeably
musky odor. One is the small yellow
blossom Of a creeping vine known as
the musk plant. Its odor is marked
and is counterfeited in the commercial
perfume called musk The other is the
bloodroot The pure white blossom Of
that early spring plant has distinct
though delicate musky odor.
A bean known as the musk bean Is
a cheap substitute for animal musk

FORCES PEOPLE
TOJUMP FOR LIFE

Biddeford. Me-, May 1O.-Awakened at
8 A. M. Tuesday by the cracking OF
flames and to find the house filling with
smoke, Emile Fecteau and his son, Anne
Fecteau, were forced to jump from a
second-story window to the ground.
Young Fecteau is bleeding at the ear,
and if it should develop that his skill
is fractured, as the attending physician
fears, the chances for his recovery are
slight. His leg was also badly sprained.

and face were ,scorched and his hair and
eyebrows singed. He was merely shaken
by his jump, but was taken to the Web

dressed.
The other occupants of the building,
clad in their night clothes, escaped by a
rear stairway. They lost all their be-
longings.
The fire, which originated in an attic
from an unknown cause, did $500 dam
age to the building, covered by insurance.

LURING An AUDIENCE.
Just Little Twist In q Shaksspears
Title Did the Trick.

Just Little Twist In q shalsspeare
Title Did the Trick.
There was once a travelling theatrical
company, so the tale Of venerable age
and long improbable veracity goes,
that was booked to play In a town a
melodrama considered as suitable to
the prospective audience. BY accident
the necessary scenery and costumes
were sent ahead to the next stopping
place, which was the capital of the
state, where Shakespearean play was
to be presented at the governors spe-
cial request, and the costumes and &C.
ceesories for the Shakespeare perform
ance were the ones that arrived. There
was no time to right the mistake, but
there was time to rush a new set of
posters advertising the new play.
"Come one, come all!' they invited
the public. do not miss the oppor-
tunity of lifetime! The great comic,
historic, romantic. emotional drama
AS You Like 1t, or the Wrestler's
Sweetheart as triumphantly perform
ed before the queen OF England at the
Globe theater, London, with the dis
tinguished author in the cast!'
Naturally the public inferred that
this interesting performance had taken
place before Queen Victoria during the
last London season rather than in the
presence Of good Queen Bess some 300
years before. Naturally also the gym
nastic suggestions Of the ingenious
subtitle were not lost upon them.
They turned out in force. The town
attended almost to a man. They did
not think much Of the melancholy
Jaques, but they would have endured
him another seven ages for the sake
Of Rosalind!-YOuth's Companion.

Knife puels La Mexico.

A duel between cattle herders on the
Mexican plains is about as savage and
deadly a manner Of fighting as one
could possibly imagine. Each opponent
extends his left arm, and third party
who has been selected to act as ref
cree binds their wrists together with
a thong Of rawhide. He then places a
knife in the right hand of each, and
the fight is on Needless to say, it does
not last long. Every stab may be cal
culated upon to do damage, and it Of
ten happens that both duelists receive
fatal wounds. Yet, in spite Of the Sc
we're rules of the game, there are men
who become experts and terrorize Il
whole neighborbood They pride them
selves on being able to strike so quick
ly and so surely that they can kill an
opponent with the first blow and get
away Observation-Disclosures.

Oriain of tho Hackney.

The hackney horse has given quite a
number Of useful words to the Ian
guage. He and his name came from
Normandy acknowledgements, really
a corruption of the Latin for horse
and he was riding horse. Being COM
monty hired out. the name came to be
associated with hiring and in course
of time also with drudgery. Today
there are far more hackney carriages,
within the meaning Of the act with
out horses than with. A literary hack
is another form of the same name, and
hackneyed is an obvious derivation
from a common source. - London
Chronicle.
