COULDN'T STAND FOR DEFEAT
According to London Newspaper, Col-
ored Opponent of Irishman Had
Little Chance.
A brawny Bon of Erin was acting as
time keeper In a rough-and-ready fight
between his mate and a negro in South
America. In the course of the light a
well-planted blow sent the irishman
earthwards.
"One!" cried the time keeper. In a
tense voice, watch in hand
"Two!" he murmured hoarsely. 'Put,
ye fool, git up! There's only eight sec-
onds left!"
The Inert mass never moved.
"Three!" shouted the time keeper
desperately. "Think of yer old mother.
Pat' What's it she'd be saying to ye,
'Bate the nigger!' "
Slowly he called up to eight, buck-
ing up his mate with patriotic ejacula-
tions between each long second. When
eight had been called I'at slowly stag-
gered to his feet, and by a mighty
lunge succeeded in knocking down his
black opponent.
Desperately fearing lest he should
revive in time, the time keeper set off
at top speed:
"One, two, three, four, five, and
five's ten! Ye're out, ye black villain!"

Won Distinction in Three Wars.
Gen. John B. S. Todd, a soldier of
three wars and governor of Dakota
territory, was born one hundred years
ago in Lexington, Ky. in his youth he
removed with his parents to Illinois.
He graduated from West Point in 1837
and for live years thereafter was ac-
tively engaged in the Florida war.
During the war with Mexico he distin-
guished himself in the siege of Vera
Cruz and at the battle of Cerro Gordo.
Subsequently he took part in the Sioux

short period in the early part of the
Civil war he commanded a division of
the Army of the Tennessee. After
quitting the army he served as a Da-
kota delegate in congress and was

Wasted Sweetness.
"Lady," said the Chicago heeler,
"here's a box o' candy to take home
to de kids."
"Sir," said the lady voter, "candy
is deficient in proteids, contains an
excess of albumenoids and its use
by the adolescent is provocative of
many infirmities which we, as new-
members of the electorate, are trying
to eradicate. Furthermore, your ten
der of this package is in violation of
section 3, 11, 44 of the criminal code,
which deals with attempted bribery."
To which the heeler could only re-
ply:
"Well, wot T'eil? wot Tell?"

uated, has he decided where he is

MOTHER COMES TO
DAUGHTER'S RESCUE
When, Daughter Thought, Every
Avenue of Escape Closed,
Mother Came to Rescue.
Louisville, Ala.—In referring to her
recent troubles, Mrs. Bessie E. Bruce,
of this town, says: "After childbirth,
I suffered greatly with wasting, and
various womanly troubles, and was in
bed for six weeks. Half the time, i
could not move, only when I was
turned over by some one. Oh! how 1
suffered, no one knows.
I was told that I would have to go
through an operation, but at the time
of the operation, I was too weak to
undergo it, and I decided there was no
chance for me.
As a last resort, my mother advised
me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic,
and my husband bought me a bottle.
I could tell from the first that it was
doing me good, and by the time I had
taken the first bottle, I could Btand on
my feet. I got another bottle, and
before I had taken it up, I was just
about well. The pains all stopped,
and in a short w hile I was able to do
my work.
I know that Cardui saved my life,
and I would not be without it in the
house. 1 almost waited too long, and
I advise all suffering women not to
wait, but to begin taking Cardut at
once."

An elderly man of the farming type
was called as a witness in the Belfast
summons court, and the clerk, proceed-
ing to administer the oath, told him to
repeat "1 swear by Almighty God that

The old fellow was a little excited,
however, by being in court, and instead
of following the words of the clerk,
began amid loud laughter to repeat the
words of the well-known hymn, "O
God, our hejp in ages past."

"The deaf and dumb couple in the

"Are they?"
"Yes. indeed! You ought to see the

Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con-
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vege-
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con-
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic-
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer-
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world ?
We have published in the newspapers of the United States
more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub-
lished in the interest of any other medicine for women—
and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen-
uine and true. Here are three never before published:
From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.
Providence, h. i.—" For the benefit of women who suffer as i havo
done I wish to state what Lydia E lMnkham's Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it
caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked
after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous pros-
tration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and
when I hear of a woman with troubles like mine 1 try to induce her
to tana your medicine."—Mrs. S. T. Richmond, 10U Waldo Street,
Providence, Ii. I.
A Minister's Wife Writes:
cloqret, Minn. — "i have suffered very much with irregularities,
pa inland inflammation, but your wonderful medicine, Lydia E. I'ink-
natn's \ egetable Compound, has made me well and I can recommend
the same to all that are troubled with these complaints."—Mrs. Jen-
nie Akhuman, c/o Lev. K. Aicerman, Cloquet, Minnesota.
From Mrs, J. D. Murdoch, Quincy, Mass.
Sorra Qitincy, Mass.—'• The doctor said that I had organic trouble
and he doctored me for a long time and I did not get any relief. I
saw Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound ad-
yenised and I tried it and found relief before I had ~
finished the first bottle. I continued taking it all
through middle life and am now a strong, healthy
woman and earn my own living."—Mrs. .Jane i).
