HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.
1 left tho farr.i when mother died, and
changed uiy pluce of dwellln'
To daughter Susie's stylish house, righl
in the city street.
And there was them, before 1 came, that
soil of Beared me tellln'
How I would find the town-folks' ways
so dllllcult to meet.
They said I'd have no comfort In tho
rustlin', lixed-up throng,
And I'd have to wear stilt collars every
week day right along.
I find I take to city ways Just like a duck
to wuler.
I like the racket and the noise, and
never tire of shows;
And there's 110 end of comfort In the man-
sion of my daughter,
And everything Is right at hand, and
money freely Mows.
And hired help is ail about, Just llstenln'
for my call.
But I miss the yellow almanac from off
my kitchen wall.
The house Is-' full of calendars from attic
to the cellar;
They're painted In all colors, and are
fancy-like to Bee.
But Just In this particular I'm not a mod-
ern feller,
And the yellow-covered almanac Is good
enough for me;
I'm used to It, I've seen It round from
boyhood 10 old age,
And I rather like the Jokin' at the bottom
of each page.
I like Ihe way the "S" stood out to show
the week's befflnnln'
(In these new-fangled calendars the
days seemed sort of mixed),
And the man upon the cover, though he
wus n't exactly wlnnln'
With lungs and liver all exposed, still
showing how we are fixed;
And the letters, credentials that was writ
to Mr. Ayer,
I've oflen, on a rainy day, found readin'
very fair.
I tried to find one recently; there wa'n't
one In the city.
They toted out great calendars In every
sort of style;
I looked at 'em In cold disdain, and an-
swered 'cm In pity:
"I'd rather have my almanac than all
that costly pile."
And, though 1 lake to city life, I'm lone-
some, after all.
For that old yellow almanac upon my
kitchen wall.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. In the Century.
Mr. Editor:— For the good of suffer-
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis-
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific in
th« world today for this disease is our
"Five Drops" remedy. "Five Drop.s"
Is the name, and "Five Drops" is the
dose. It is not only acknowledged a
specific by the many thousands who
have bpen cured by its use, but it is
now acknowledged to be such by the
mpdicai profession, many of whom use
1 this remedy in their daily practice, and
i they state to us that it is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
I positively cures tills disease, but it
j never has failed and it never can fail
j to cure any and all of the following
I diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural-
gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness,
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak-
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe,
and diseases of the liver and kidneys,
"Five Drops" is not a patent medicine,
but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. It never can be fully appre-
ciated until it is used. Many of its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human-
ity is daily deriving from the use of
this most wonderful remedy. Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the o<her remedies offered
for sale as the mountain Is above the
valley. It is worth its weight in gold
to anyone suffering from any of the
diseases for which it is recommended.
The price is low and within tho reach
of all, $1 per bottle for full size (300
doses), prepaid by mail or express, or
six bottles for $5. Anyone desiring to
test its efficacy without ordering a full
size bottle, can have a 25 cent sample
bottle sent by mail until May 10, by
sending 10 cents to the Swanson Rheu-
matic Cure Company, 167 Dearborn
street, Chicago. 111.

HELPS TO
CURE
ONE reason Mrs. Pinkham's treatment helps women so
promptly is that they have confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink-
ham's friends an ailing woman will be led to w/ite to Mrs.
Pinkham at her home in Lynn,
Mass., and will tell her symptoms.
The reply, made without charge of
Sany kind, will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
.hope.
This of itself is a great help. ' —
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters asking
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.
Mrs. Eliza Thomas, of 634 Pine St., Eastan, Pa., writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham—I doctored with two <af the best
doctors in the city for two
years and had no relief until I
began the use of your remedies.
My trouble was ulceration of
the womb. I suffered
something terrible, could
not sleep nights and
thought sometimes that
death would be such a
relief. To-day I am a well
woman, able to do my
own work, and have not
a pain. I used four bottles
of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and
S3 three packages of Sana-
tive Wash and cannot
thank you enough for the
good it did me."
Mrs. M. Stoddard,
Box 268, Springfield, Minn.,
writes:
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham—Fo*
about four years I was a great sufferer from female troubles. I
hadbackacheallof thetime, no appetite, pains in stomach, faint-
'ing sptlls, was weak and my system was completely run down.
; I also had falling of womb so bad that I could scarcely walk
across the floor. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable
Compound and one box of Lozengers, can saj I am cured."

Manila, April 18.—Major General
Lawton returned with his expedition
to Manila, by order of General Otis,
after evacuating the towns of Paete,
Longos, Lumban, Gasajan and Santa
Cruz, from which the rebels had been
driven.
General Lawton's troops are needed
in the movement north of Manila, and
Laguna de Hay will be left to the in-
surgents until the rainy season, when
the'water will be higher, thus enabl-
ing the army gunboats to get Into the
rivers. The launches captured from
the insurgents are to be returned to
their former owners in Manila.
General Lawton said in an inter-
view:
"With tho forces I have there is no
doubt I could go through the whole
island; but if a government is to be
established it will be necessary to
garrison all the towns. It would lake
100,000 men to pacify the islands.
"I regret the necessity of abandon-
ing the captured territory."
Major General Lawton's expedition
left the Laguna de Hay district
last night and reached Manila this
morning, bringing all the men and
the captured insurgwt boats.
Its objects, namely, the capture of
the insurgents' boats and the distribu-
tion of the proclamation, emphasized
by a lesson of American power,
throughout the lake region, have been
attained. General Lawton immedi-
ately began preparations for an im-
portant expedition on land. There
has been no fighting on the lake for
three days.
During the absence of Lawton's ex-
pedition the insurgents have been con-
centrating at the northern end of the
lake, near Pasig, and the American
scouts report that several thousand
are already there.
Two hundred and fifty Chinamen
from Santa Cruz have arrived here.
They left the town owing to their fear
that the rebels, on re-entering the
town, would wreak vengeance upon
them for favoring the Americans.
JOHN L. COMPELLED TO HIDE.
Sulllvaii Dom an Kngineer's f inMjn
Escape Arrest.
Astoria, Oregon, April 18 —
Sullivan, while here, was compelled
to hide to prevent arrest. The church
people of the city swore out a warrant
for Sullivan on a charge of violating
the law by appearing in a boxing con-
test on Sunday. Manager Selig of Fish-
er's Opera house was also charged
with the offense of conducting a thea-
ter on the Sabbath. The warrant for
the arrest of Sullivan was placed in
the hands of Constable Wickman and
that officer tried to serve it. Sullivan,
however, had been told of the officer's
coming and he was not to be found.
While the performance was still going
on, Sullivan stole out of the stage en-
trance and made his way to his special
train, which was scheduled to pull
out at 11 o'clock for Victoria. Officers
were at the depot to arrest him, but
he took refuge in the engine and thus
eluded his pursuers. Sullivan put on
the clothes of an engineer at the depot
and was at the throttle when the train
pulled out.
INDIANS OFF FOR MEXICO
Five Thousand Cherokee*, Creeks and

Guthrie, Okla., April 18. — Five
thousand Indians who are dissatisfied

large tract of land near Guadalajara,
according to reports received here.
They belong to the Cherokee, Creek
and Delaware tribes. The emigrants
arc said to have a capital of S4S.S.000.
and expect further additions to their

Most of Quay's Losni From People's
Bnnk Cost Nothing:
Philadelphia, April 18.—Meyer
Goldsmith, the commonwealth's ex-
pert accountant, was on the stand all
day in the trial of Senator Quay,
making statements of fact that are
apparently damaging to the defend-
ant's aide of the case.
All day long Mr. Goldsmith read
out figures taken from tho bank books
embracing the various settlement
periods of six months each dating
back to October 31, 1803, showing tho
amount of the state deposit, the
amount loaned to Senator Quay
during each six months, the amount
of interest allowed the state treasurer
for that portion of the state de-
posit apparently not set aside for
Senator Quay's use; the amount of
Interest, if any, the Senator paid on
his loans, and the amount of money
used to purchase stock for him. Tho
deposit during the years mentioned
ranged from 8200,000 to 5400,000. Sen-
ator Quay's loans were shown to be as
great as 8806,000 in one period of six
months. Occasionally the witness
said, smaller and inadequate payment
of interest by Senator Quay was
shown, but generally there was
nothing to indicate that he paid
for the use of the bank's
money. Whilo all these figures
were going in, counsel for Senator
Quay sat silent and motionless, listen-
ing lo the monotonous routine of
question and answer. This was in pur-
suance of an understanding that the
defense objected to every answer, that
the objection was overruled and an
exception noted. This is for future
use in a higher court, if necessary.
CLEVENGER IS RECAPTURED,
.1 Ray County Officer Arrests the Indict-
ed Liberty Murderer.
Libertt, Ma, April 18. — Sherifl
John King received a telegram this
morning from the constable at Vib-
bard, Ray county, that he had cap-
tured Ernest Clevenger, one of the
men who broke jail here on the night
of April 5 with three other men. Sher-
iff King left at once to bring Clev-
enger back. The constable will get a
reward of 8100.
Clevenger is under indictment for
killing George Allen during a relig-
ious meeting in a schoolhouse near
Missouri City, December 8, when ho
also shot Miss Delia Clevenger, who is
still living. Two of the men who es-
caped from the jail, Wilson and Stock-
ton, are still at large.
