MRS. HULDA JAKEMAN Wife of President Jakeman of Elders of the Mormon Church, Salt Lake City, Utah, Recommends Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound For Woman's Periodic Palus. "DAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Before I know of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I dreaded the approach of the time for my menstrual period, as it would mean a couple of MRS. HULDA JAKEMAN. days in bed with intense pain and suffering. I was under the physicians care for over a year without any relief, when my attention was called to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound by several of our Mormon women who had been cured through its use. I began its systematic use and improved gradually in health, and after the use of six bottles my health was completely restored and for two years I have had neither ache or pain. You have a truly wonderful remedy for women. Very sincerely yours, Mrs. HULDA JAKEMAN, Salt Lake City, Utah. —$5000 forifit if above testimonial is not genuine. Just as surely as Mrs. Jakeman was cured just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. Mrs. Pinkham advises sick women free.

The Santa Fe at Charleston. The series of special photographs contributed by the Santa Fe railway to the exhibit of the Postal Department at the Pan-American Exposition is one of the few which are to be transferred with the exhibit to the Interstate and West Indian Exposition at Charleston, S. C. The series is illustrative of the transcontinental mail service on the Santa Fe between Chicago and San Francisco, and aside from the very interesting railroad features shows many novel portions of Uncle Sam's postal service between remote mountain districts, Indian trading posts, etc. The pony express and the Indian runner, lithe and long limbed, are still necessary to the government in some sections of the West. The postal department has asked and received permission from the Santa Fe, to place the photographs permanently in the Postal Museum at Washington after the close of the Charleston exposition. Points for Women. Defiance Starch. Once used always used. It is the best cold water starch ever made. Each and every package contains sixteen ounces. A single sixteen ounce package costs only ten cents; other starches cost ten cents for twelve ounce packages. Every package contains a written guarantee to refund money if satisfaction is not given. It gives clothes that stiff, glossy finish that is a guarantee of comfort to the wearer. No other starch has this advantage. It contains ingredients that enables its manufacturers to omit all chemicals, the presence of which in other starches have proved injurious to linen. There is nothing in it that can even in the slightest degree injure 'the most delicately woven fabric. It will not blister nor break the goods. It will not stick to the iron. It requires no premiums to promote its sale. It speaks for itself. It will not disappoint you. It is being placed on sale by all gro- cers.

"Ah!" sighed the would-be suicide, "here is where all my troubles come to an end!" and he sprang into the deep waters of the bay. He was mistaken. For the life preserver hit him in the neck and he saw a million stars. The deckhand made a pass at him with a boathook and made a small sized crevassar from his waistband to his collar bone. Then they hauled him, thumped him, doped him, rolled him over a barrel for half an hour, and husted him to the harbor hospital, after which he was arrested, fined $10 and roasted by the judge and kicked along the corridor toward the door. A dog bit him as he departed. "Alas!" he sobbed.

"A St. Paul man knocked his wife down by smiting her with the family pug dog." "What did he say when they arrested him?" "He said the accident wouldn't have occurred if they had kept a mastiff instead of a pug." Truly Unrural. "How did you like that play of rural life?" "It's a fraud," answered Mr. Corntossel.

Learnt Wisdom by Experience At a police court, situated near a garrison town in the west of England, a few days ago a prisoner was brought up charged, with being drunk and disorderly and with fighting in the street. He was a tall, well-built, strapping young fellow, but evidently an old offender, for the magistrate, after inflicting a fine, which was paid by a friend of the prisoner in court, asked him if he had any work to do. The prisoner replied that he was out of work. "You seem to be frequently getting into trouble by drinking and fighting," said the magistrate. "Why don't you go for a soldier?" "Not me," was the answer. "I did once, your worship, and he very nearly killed me." A Congenial Caller. The Maid—"There is a gentleman at the door who wishes to see you, ma'am." The Widow—"Does he look like a caller, Marie?" The Maid—"Yes, ma'am." The Widow—"But, Marie, you know I'm in full mourning and can't receive calls." The Maid—"But this is the young undertaker, ma'am." "Oh, that's very different. Show him in." The Passing of a Star. "Madam," said the facetious boarder, "this turkey reminds me of a steadily waning dramatic star." "Well," said the landlady, "I suppose you want somebody to ask you why." "Because," said the facetious boarder, "it comes on in smaller and yet smaller parts." His Taste Uncertain. "Pooh!" said Daisy, scornfully, "the idea of your being afraid of a poor old house dog! Why, he eats out of my hand." "I don't doubt it," replied Burroughs, dubiously, "but what I am afraid of that he might take a notion to eat out of my leg." A Great World.

Wife (laughingly)—There are some excruciatingly funny jokes in this paper about women going shopping all day and never buying anything. Husband (hotly)—Yes, but they're lies! "Did you hear what that rich Mormon, who died recently did with his wealth?" "No; what?" "He left it to the widows and orphans." An Honored Name.

Frette: Do you know, it's got so with me now that when I start out in the morning to go down to business I have to stop at the corner to study which route will be the least apt to confront me with a creditor. Callous: Thank goodness, I am no longer a victim of any such sensation as that. Frette: What! You surely don't mean to say by that you don't owe anyone. Callous: Far from it. I simply mean that there is no direction I can take that will insure any such exemption, and as'a consequence it doesn't pay to hesitate. How it Happened.

Whaling Business Programming The total catch of whales this year is stated to be only twenty-eight, and the industry seems to have almost reached the limit of nothingness.

Mississippi's Rapid Development In the last four years the taxable wealth of Mississippi has increased $23,000,000, and there has been a large increase in population.

Extra Toes and Fingers Mr. and Mrs. Zaccheus Gaskill of Dresbach, Minn., have ten children, and five of them possess twelve fingers and as many toes.

A Scotchman's Literary Choice An English bishop says that recently he came upon a Highlander in Scotland who was several miles from neighbors, and must spend the winter months alone.

He tired out with the slightest exertion and in spite of all the doctors could do for him he was growing gradually worse. He had tried many medicines and treatments without benefit, but recently he read in a newspaper about Dodd's Kidney Pills, and these helped him from the very first dose. He took several boxes before he was completely cured, but now he is well and strong as ever he was, and feels very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for his restoration to good health.

The Distinctive Value of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful condition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.

He detached several of the modest flowers from the pretty bunch and put them in the child's other hand as she reached for the bouquet. She danced away from him in delight, kissing her hand to him as she skipped down the stairs. On the lower floor she confronted the leading man in the act of ascending. Her eyes widened as she saw the huge cluster of roses Leonard endeavored to conceal from her. "Give me a rose, Mr. Leonard?" she begged saucily, placing the violets behind her. "I guess not," Leonard answered shortly. "These flowers came too high, young lady, to waste their fragrance in a child's careless hand." Little Miss Dolly looked after his recreating form with angry resentment blazing in her big, brown eyes. "I'll just tell mamma," she confided to the violets. "I don't think she likes Mr Leonard anyway. Dick isn't stingy," she added, a smile dispelling the frown with the swiftness of magic. "And—I think mamma likes Dick." At the close of the rehearsal the following afternoon Leonard accosted Alton. "I congratulate you, Dick," he said, extending his hand with forced cordiality. "I misjudged the lady's choice, it seems. I bow before the violet's supremacy and hall that particular flower as love's accepted messenger in this important instance." Miss Kingsley had approached the two men unseen. Now she stepped forward and laid her hand lightly on Alton's arm. Then she turned to Leonard, smilingly. "The violets told me one story," she said, with bewitching naive. "A very sweet and welcome one, I admit, but the little malden who brought them to me told another. She was only a child, but she loved violets, as did her mother, but she held them tenderly and was rewarded with a cluster all her own. The generous giver marred the beauty of the dorist's creation to please a child and the child appreciated the act. So did the child's mother. She realized the difference between the man who offered the modest violet, enriched by the health of his heart's best love, and one who imagined the more expensive the tower the more impressive his suit." Leonard bowed and walked away without a word. Dick bent his handsome head and kissed Miss Klingssy. "My darling," he hispered, softly. "My beautiful wife, that is to be." She also realized that her life had just revealed its brightest colors, and "the man before her brought treasures beyond price, and ithero unknown—love and happiness. Indianapolis Sun. FROM RAM'S HORN. Earthly athletics will not suffice for the heavenly race. Christian consecration is simply concentration on Christ. God robs us of our strength that we may rely on His might. The purity of our motives determines our motive power in the world. Some methods of raising money are most successful in lowering manhood. He who can not rule his own appetite is unfitted to run his neighbor's affairs. Our disappointments may be intended to direct us to the Divine appointments. Seeking the roses of health in the red cup you may find the rouge of ruin. The lives of others will be none the sweeter for your attempt to absorb all the sourness in the universe. The trouble with many preachers is that they are thinking more of their own self-fourishment than of their rock's soul nourishment. Mr. Asquith rarely makes a joke—at any rate, in public. You may search his speeches in parliament or on the platform, but you will find nothing that savors of the comic. Only once in the law courts has the ex-home secretary been known to make a joke, and that was in a betting case, when the question arose as to what constituted a "place." The judge put a poser, as he thought, to Mr. Asquith. "Suppose I give you an area," he said, "marked by the meridian of longitude, would that constitute a 'place'?" The court was convulsed with laughter.—London Answers. The Journeymen Barbers' International Union has decided to admit women to membership. ROSES AND VIOLETS The curtain had been rung down on the matinee performance at the Empire theater and the streets in the vicinity of the popular playhouse presented a lively scene. An animated crowd choked the pavements and impeded progress in all directions. Private carriages drew up at the curb to receive their aristocratic owners, while less fortunate patrons succeeded in making their way to homeward bound electrics. A number of the younger eminent and that class had formed a good part of the large audience, hurried away to the stage entrance. There they waited patiently for the appearance of the various members of the company, their laughing chatter revealing their enjoyment but more particularly their devotion to the "star." An audible murmur of admiration greeted John Leonard as he paused an instant outside the door. The girls had ample opportunity to view the hero of the afternoon, minus make-up and romantic surroundings. Richard Alton smiled slightly as he joined Leonard, and together the two men started for their hotel. Alton impersonated the villain in the 'famous drama, a most thankless character, save that it afforded him capital scope to display his talents. As an actor he excelled in the heavy parts, and in that line as well as all others calling for strong scenes, he far outshone the leading man in the eyes of the critics. But to the matinee girls he represented the enemy of virtuous manhood, as personified in Gerald Marden (John Leonard) and the persecutor of the idol of their girlish hearts, Laura Kingsley. "Miss Kingsley's popularity seems at its height," said Leonard, as a commotion in the street behind them attracted his attention. Alton did not speak until the carriage which was dashing down the street passed them as they stood on the crossing. He caught a glimpse of the occupant and she saw him as he raised his hat involuntarily. She nodded to both men and smiled cordially, but for one brief instant her eyes rested on Alton with a swift glean which would have betrayed pain, but for the smile on her lips. Alton caught the expression and walked on in silence. Leonard made no comment, but they kept pace with his friend. When they reached the hotel Alton became talkative. "You said Miss Kingsley's popularity was at its height just now, Jack," Alton said slowly. "Well, so it is, and she deserves all the praise and homage they can show upon her. Did you notice those girls waiting to see their favorite? They adore her, and I glory in their admiration and willing worship." Leonard smiled a trifle cynically. "You mean you join with them in their worship," he said significantly. "Why not speak plainly, Dick? Praise for them, but none for yourself, eh? That will never do, old boy. Your heart's secret would probably interest Miss Kingsley more deeply than a crowd of school girls and their fleeting affection." Alton looked at him eagerly. "That is if she has a heart to give you in return." Leonard went on. "Some members of the profession think otherwise, I must confess." Alton's hand closed on his arms fiercely. "Don't mention her if you hold any such opinion as that," he said, entreatingly. Leonard laughed a bit sharply. "Don't flare up, old man. But you know her past experience. Dick. Jim Morton broke her heart years ago, he fore he died, that's all, old man. I do not think you can bring happiness to her at this late day." Alton arose and faced him calmly resolutely. resolutely. "I mean to try, Jack," he said simply. "Tonight I shall send a bunch of violets to her room, and if she accepts them in my name I shall rejoice—" "And I shall send her roses," Leonard interrupted, airily; "the costliest, most fragrant shower of American Beauty my salary can stand. No violets for me, my boy; the way to win a woman's regard by flowers is through the rose it costs more, you know, and therebakes a better impression, and then it is love's own messenger, Dick. Had you forgotten that?" When Alton entered the theater the evening his cheeses were flushed and his eyes glistened, but his manner was reassuring. He made his way between the rows of set pieces in the narrow stairway leading to the second floor. He paused on the landing and looked above for the call boy. That individual did not materialize on the instant, but in his place appeared a beautiful little creature closely resembling a picture book fairy "Oh, Dick," cried the fairy, esculptedly, "what lovely flowers! Are they for mamma? She loves violets." Yes, they are for mamma, and you must handle them carefully; they are not as dangerous as you think.

C. Townsend, president, was given an oak gavel, to which is attached an interesting history. The wood once formed a part of Nelson's flagship "Foudroyant," and is a relic of a name and career well known to the American and British nations. The "Foudroyant was captured from the French in 1568 being at that time one of the larger battleships afloat. Later she carried Nelson's flag in the Mediterranean and was finally broken up by a gale at Blackpool, November 28, 1897. An American $5 gold piece of 1800 and a George III guinea are inlaid in the gavel. Thomas Cook & Son of New York were the donors. Mrs. Stanford has returned to San Francisco after a journey to Egypt where she purchased for the Stanford Museum a remarkable private collection of Egyptian antiquities, treasured and supplemented during thirty-five years a wealthy foreign resident of Cairo.
