Sunday Trins May June July Aug WITH 3 CLAIRVOYANT. MRS. MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes trouble and speedy unmutilation, the sepulchre and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She will very accurate in the details of her needs, in the care of her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance, mothers should be when the process of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. You can tell them that you seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right person to help them apply all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands of letters to her by letter $1.00 All letters must contain stamps. MRS. M. B. MARTH. NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Hours: 10 A.

No other person has so wide an experience with female ills nor such a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham has had. Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. Some personally, others by mail. And this has been going on for 20 years, day after day and day after day. Twenty years of constant success — think of the knowledge thus gained! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such an experience, especially when it is free. If you are ill get a bottle of Lydia E.

It had been the custom of an Atchison man all his life to time his preacher at church, and when the preacher had talked 30 minutes the Atchison man thought it long enough and got up and walked out.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1900. LITTLE, BUT OH, MY! How a Low-Sized Lawyer Impressed a Timid Servant with His Importance. The following story is attributed to Senator Vest, says the Chicago Tribune: "Before the war there was a lawyer in Independence, Mo., who was the counterpart in appearance of the pictures of Pickwick. He was as fussy in his manner as a hen with a brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke in the door of a residence by his vigorous use of the knocker. The disturbance was answered by a darky, who was frightened out of his boots as he opened the door. 'Where's your master?' thundered the lawyer, and before the darky could answer the lawyer repeated his question. Then the darky replied that he was not in. "I suppose not,' thundered the lawyer again. 'Well, mind you, now, mind you, when he comes you tell him I want to see him—want to see him at once. Understand? Tell him J. Brown Hovey, attorney at law, wants to see him at once, at once.' "With that Mr. Hovey turned and disappeared in a flutter. When the master came he asked his servant if anyone had called. The darky was still in his fright, and with his teeth chattering he replied: "Yes, sah, dar was a leetle, funny-looking mane come, an' he said dat I was to tell you dat Brown J. Hovey, de eternal Lord, want ter see you right away." Supreme Court Sustains the Foot-Ease Trade-Mark. Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buffalo, has ordered a permanent injunction, with costs, and a full accounting of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a retail deal. er of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in the decision of the Court, an imitation and infringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder to shake into your shoes for tired, aching feet, now so largely advertised and sold all over the country. Allen S. Olmsted, of Le Roy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark "Foot-Ease," and he is the first individual who ever advertised a foot powder extensively over the country. He will send a sample Free to anyone who writes him for it. The decision in this case upholds his trade-mark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to profit by the extensive "Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing upon the market a spurious and similar appearing preparation, labeled and put up in envelopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar suits will be brought against others who are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade-mark and common law rights. A Sermon in Brief A man met a bull in a field.

He had driven from a backwoods hamlet to the station, and, after making an inquiry of the conductor, boarded the train for Philadelphia, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. When well on the way he stopped the When well on the way he stopped the bluecoated official and asked, in all seriousness: "I'm sorter hungry. Will ye tell me jest where the eatin' car is?" "There is none on this train," was the answer. "It's short run does not require it." "Huh!" grunted the questioner. "W'ich of yer keers is the one that ye jest loll around in an' turn and twist yer cheer any way ye plase? Don't imagine that because I've never went railroadin' afore I don't know all about these things." "You probably mean the Pullman. We haven't any attached." "Well, bu'stin' squashes! W're's yer cigar stand, so's I kin be buyin' a weed an' lightin' up?" "We don't have such a thing, man." "An' ye've no place fer me ter git my shoes shined, ter be sure?" "No, sir." "Course I'd be crazy ter think yer might have a barber lad aboard?" The rural gentleman subjected the conductor to a menacing scrutiny from head to foot and back again. Then he drawled out in an angry, disappointed tone of voice: "Well, sufferin' corn meal! I thought ye said this wuz an accommodation train!" Appearances Not Deceptive. The office boy, with his legs curled round those of the chair, was tilted back in the corner gloating over "The Midnight Murder, or The Milkman's Mystery," when a visitor entered. The boy had heard his step in the passage, and was calmly expecting him when the door opened. "Is the guv'nor in?" asked the visitor. The boy looked at him with an almost contemptuous expression, and was slow to reply. "I said," snapped the visitor, "is the guv'nor in?" "That's a pretty question to be asking me, ain't it? Don't you know he ain't?" "How should I know?" inquired the astonished caller. "By lookin' at me. Do you think I'd be tucked up here reading this book if the old man was in? Well, I would say not—hardly. Come in again to-morrow." And the boy once more plunged into the amazing adventures of the mysterious milkman—Chicago Inter Ocean. Nip and Tuck.

She says: "Only those who have suffered as I have, can know what a blessing it is to be able to find relief in Pe-ru-na. This has been my experience. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and every bottle of Pe-ru-na I ever bought proved a good friend to me."—Susan Wymar. Mrs. Margaretha Dauben, 1214 North Superior St., Racine City, Wis., writes: "I feel so well and good and happy now that pen cannot describe it. Pe-ru-na is everything to me. I have taken several bottles of Pe-ru-na for female complaint. I am in the change of life and it does me good."
