A SURGICAL
OPERATION
If there is any one thing that a
woman dreads more than another it
is a surgical operation.
We can state without fear of a
contradiction that there are hun
dreds, yes, thousands, of operations
performed upon women in our hos
pitals which are entirely unneces
sary and many have been avoided by
LYDIA E.PINKHAM’S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
For proof of this statement read
the following letters.
Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman,
Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ For eight years I suffered from the
most severe form of female troubles and
was told that an operation was my only
Lope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham
for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and it has saved
.my life and made me a well woman.”
Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church
Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes:
“I feel it is my duty to let people
know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done for me. I
.suffered from female troubles, and last
March my physician decided that an
•operation was necessary. My husband
objected, and urged me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and to-day I am well and strong.”

SAVAGE FUNG AT AUDIENCE,
Inebriated Orator Resented Disapprov
al of His Condition.
‘‘Like many a statesman of the
! past,” said Senator Beveridge, “he
j drank too much. And one Fourth of
I July morning, on a platform hung
with flags and flowers before the
; courthouse of a country town, facing
an audience of farmers and their fam
ilies that had come from miles around,
i the statesman arose to deliver the In
i dependence day oration in a slightly
! intoxicated state.
"He was not incapable of an ora
tion, but his unsteady gait, his flushed
face and disordered attire spoke ill
of him, and the audience hissed.
“He held up his hand. They were
silent. Then he laughed scornfully
' and said:
“ ‘Ladies and gentlemen, when a
statesman of my prominence consents
to appear in such a little, one-horse
town as this, he must be either drunk
or crazy. I prefer to be considered an
inebriate.’ ”—Washington Star.

CUTICURA CURED FOUR
Southern Woman Suffered with Itch
ing, Burning Rash—Three Little
Babies Had Skin Troubles.
“My baby had a running sore on his
neck and nothing that I did for it took
effect until I used Cuticura. My face
was nearly full of tetter or some sim
ilar skin disease. It would itch and
burn so that I could hardly stand it.
Two cakes of Cuticura Soap and a box
of Cuticura Ointment cured me. Two
years after it broke out on my hands
and wrist. Sometimes I would go
nearly crazy for it itched so badly. I
went back to my old stand-by, that
had never failed me—one set of Cuti
cura Remedies did the work. One
set also cured my uncle's baby whose
head was a cake of sores, and another
baby who was in the same fix. Mrs.

A well-known English 'bishop some
time since lost his third wife. A cler
gyman who had known the first wife
returned from Africa and wanted to
see the grave. He called at the cathe
dral and saw the verger.
"Can you tell me where the bishop’s
wife is buried?”
“Well, sir,” replied the verger, “I
don't know for certain, but he mostly
buries 'em at Brompton.”

THE BALL
By Maurice Jokai.
Dear Eleanor—I am ill, wretched,
full of despair. Oh. never again will
I dance a quadrille! I am going to be
come a nun, or finish myself in some
way. Let mo tell you what has hap
pened, and I feel sure that you will
agree with me in thinking it mon
strous, almost inconceivable.
You doubtless have heard that the
Hungarian army passed through our
village last week, after the battle of
Branylszko. Before they came, by
way of preparing us for their recep
tion, we were told unheard of things
about the soldiers, how they would
pillage and fire the town, then kill or
carry off the women.
Well, the eventful day came at last.
Mother had described the Hungari
ans to me as great Tartars, wearing
fur turbans and bearskins for clothes.
Fancy my surprise on seeing, instead
of such monsters, two elegant, young
officers, one light, the other dark, and
both extremely handsome. Their red
cloaks were swung gracefully over
their shoulders, leaving their uniforms
exposed. They apologized for their in
trusion, and I replied confusedly that
I was ready to serve them.
The handsomer of the two men
looked at the great quantity of food
and drink on the table, and could not
repress a smile. This only served to
increase my embarrassment. The
other officer reassured me by thank
ing me in the most musical of voices
for the services offered.
They went away, but in half an hour
they returned. They then told mother
that arrangements had been made for
a ball, and we were invited to go.
They asked my company on the spot
for quadrilles, czardas and polonaises
Of course 1 promised them all they
asked, but my mother made all sorts
of objections.
On reaching the ball room I found
a large company assembled. The sol
diers were all splendid. I would not
have believed that men whose busi
ness it is to kill people could be so
magnificent and fascinating.
One officer in particular attracted
the attention of everyone present. He
was tall and so handsome! His com
plexion was fair, his cheeks were red,
and his eyes and hair dark. His scar
let uniform fitted his fine form to per
fection.
You can imagine my feelings w'hen
I saw him coming up to ask me for a
quadrille. Unfortunately. 1 had already
promised it. Oh, how I wished my
partner was somewhere else! I don't
know what he replied at first, for 1
seemed to be floating on air. Then I
heard him say:
"Don't forget that you have prom
ised me the next one."
If I had not suddenly checked my
self I should have declared that 1
would sooner forget my existence. 1
simply assured him that I would re
member it.
"But how will you be able to recog
nize me?” he asked.
As if it were the most natural thing
in the world to do, I unfastened a
rose from my corsage and offered it to
him, saying as I did so:
"I shall know you by this.”
He took the flower and pressed it
to his lips. I pretended not to see him,
but I did just the same.
We took our places and stood wait
ing. Then, just as we were about to
begin, we heard the sound of gallop
ing hoofs, and, in the distance, a can
nonading that made the windows rat
tle. A moment later, a man, bespat
tered with mud. rushed in and an
nounced that the enemy was attacking
the outposts.
"Good!” exclaimed a major, clap
ping his hands. We were just wait
ing for them. Gentlemen, beg these
ladies to excuse you for a few mo
ments—just a few. We will be back
directly. Wait for U3 and don’t
worry.”
Then all (he pay young officers
buckled on their swords, their faces
set with grim determination. My part
ner went with the rest. His face
looked stern and his eyes flashed fire.
I felt that I could have gone with him
into the thickest, of the fight. He still
held my rose, and when he put on his
shako, he fastened the rose behind the
cockade. Then he turned and sought
me out in the crowd. Our eyes met
for a moment, and he was gone.
We all staid in the ball room, as we
had been forbidden to leave. The hours
that followed were certainly the long
est ones that I ever passed. By de
grees the firing grew fainter, and
finally it ceased altogether. From this,
■we concluded the enemy had been
routed.
We were right. A quarter of an hour
later, amidst shouts of joy, the officers
re-entered the ball room, smiling as 1/
nothing unusual had happened. Their
bright uniforms were soiled, whether
with mud or blood I could not tell.
They sought their partners, and took
their places, as if they had merely re
turned from the refreshment room.
My partner and the major were
missing, so I sat down near the door
to watch for them. Soon the major
came in alone. As soon as he saw me
he came up to me, bowed, and said:
“My fair young lady, ycur partner
begs a thousand pardons for failing to
keep his promise, but it is simply im
possible for him to come. His leg is
shattered by a cannon ball and it must
be amputated at once. He is very
sorry, l assure you. to miss the pleas
ure of a dance with you."
Oh. Eleanor, do you wonder I am ill
and wretched? 1 know that I never
again shall have any desire to dance a
quadrille!
Melba In Paris.
Mme. Melba has seldom received
such a remarkable ovation as that
which greeted her appearance at the
recent opera gala performance in
Paris. It cannot, however, compare
in delirious enthusiasm with one she
received some years ago in St. Peters
burg. On one memorable night, after
the close of the opera, she was called
before the curtain again and again
for more than an hour, until she was
so exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the ho
tel, where they serenaded her, al
though it was a bitterly cold night,
until three o’clock in the morning. On
.the following day when she reached
.the station to depart the platform was
.crowded with hundreds of adoring
imusic lovers. As the train was leav
ing they took the pencil with which
she had written her autograph for
all who could get near her, bit it into
small pieces and passed them around
as souvenirs.
But It Was All Right.
The poor but proud duke decided to
play a safe game, so instead of beard
ing the dear girl’s father in his lair he
wrote as follows:. “I want your daugh
ter—the flower of your family.”
By return mail came the old man’s
reply: "Your orthography seems to
have a flat wheel. What you want is
doubtless the flour in connection with
my dough and if my girl wants you I
suppose I'll have to give up.”
Has to Be Cited.
"Possibly there is something on
Earth that is a surer and quicker cure
for cuts, burns, aches, pains and
bruises than Hunt’s Lightning Oil. If
so, 1 would like to be cited. For
twenty years I have been unable to
find anything better myself.”
