medical treatment
Recently another of Mr Hardwick's
sons drove Into this city with a valu-
able horse A resident offered to sell
him a horse and young Hardwick
agreed to take the animal home to
put the matter before his father He
left his own horse behind In the Wlno-
nan's barn and drove the one he
thought to buy home The deal was
unsatisfactory and when Mr Hard-
wick returned with the animal he
found the one he had left was gone
With the assistance of the police he
finally got his horse back after con-
siderable parleying
The other night Mr Hardwick came
to this city with a load of milk While
unloading It one of the heavy cans fell
on his foot mashing several of his
toes He wag taken to a physician's
office for treatment While in the of-
fice he got a telephone call from borne

Omaha Neb — While the passage of
the Hepburn bill put an end to rail-
road passes It did not stop the army
of tramps from riding free The
Union Pacific officials however have
evolved a plan to stop Mr Tramp's
free rides
Recently at all division points and
at most of the large towns on the line
the Union Pacific hauled In carloads
of stone It was reported that this
was for track and yard Improvement
but In fact the stone piles are for
the purpose of supplying places to
work for men who steal rides on
brake rods and on the blind baggage
The company has declared Its in-
tention of trying to bring about the
enforcement of the state vagrant law
and In the future when a man Is
caught stealing a ride on the Union
Pacific lines In Nebraska he will be
carried to the first town where there
is a stone yard where his arrest will
be caused and he will be taken be-
fore the Justice of the peace If con-
victed of being a vagrant he will prob-
ably be sentenced to from 10 to 80
days breaking rock
The company ' expects to make
enough out of the work of vagrants to
pay the towns the cost of boarding
the prisoners while serving sentence
The broken rock will be used for bal-

Good Example of Scottish Humor In
Remark Made by Railroad
' Porter
owe
Scottish humor Is dry rather than
boisterous and I always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story ot
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Array "captain” To catch
thq hang of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen The London train
bad drawn up at Stonehaven on ac-
count of a slight mishap a mile or two
ahead and Andra the old porter bad
got Into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped bis head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay
"Aye aye" mused Andra after giv-
ing the desired Information "ye'U be
for Albesdeen I’m thinkln’T”
' “Yes my man" was the reply
"I’m bound for Aberdeen— a very
wicked place I’m told!”
"What mlcht ye be goln’ to dae
there sir If It’s as bad as a’ that?’’
asked Andra rather amused at the
visitor's words
"Ah” was "the pious answer "I’m
going to drive the devil out of Aber-
deen" Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:
"See an' drive him north chell
baud him well to the north!”— Ex-

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON
“My little son when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face I had a physi-
cian treat him but the sores grew
worse Then they began to come out
on hla arms then on other parts ot
his' body and then pne came on hla
chest worse than the others Then I
called another physician Still he
grew worse At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that I had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh He got to be a mere skeleton
and was hardly able to walk
“My aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment I
sent to a drug store and got a cake ot
Cuticura Soap and a box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions At the
end of two months the sores were all
well He has never had any sores
of any kind since I can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died I used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
ot Ointment

Fortunate is the man who wants
only what he can get
Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound? We can
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable
cures after all other means had failed
Women who are suffering with some form of female
illness should consider this
As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial
letters We guarantee they are genuine and honest state
ments of facts
Cresson Pa — " Five yean ago I bad a bad tall and bnrt
myself inwardly I was under a doctor’s care for nine weeks
and when I stopped I grew worse again I sent for a bottle of
Lydia XL Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound took it as directed
and now I am a stout hearty woman” — Mrs £Ua K Alkey
Cresson Pa
Baird Wash— “A year ago I was sick with kidney and
bladder troubles and female weakness The doctors gave me
up All they could do was to Just let me go as easily as possibly
I was advised by friends to take Lydia E Pinkbam’s Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier I am completely cured of my
Ills and I am nearly sixty years old” — Mrs Sarah Leighton
Baird Wash
Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of 'miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not
cure are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles after
reading two such letters as the above should be encouraged
to try thi3 wonderfully helpful remedy
For 30 years Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills No sick woman does Justice to
herself wbo will not try this famous medicine
Made exclusively from roots and herbs and
has thousands cf cures to its credit
PaMnPlnkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice She has
guided thousands to health free of charge
