HAY FEVEf
ORDER
BRITISH LEGION
IS FORMED TO AID IN
TIME OF WAR.
Unique Organization Composed of Men
Who Have Been Seasoned by
Frontier Life — Is World
Wide in Scope.
During; our war with Spain the
novel organization known as the rough
riders was formed and proved superior
in many respects to the trained sol
diers of the regular army, made up as
it was of men toughened to hardship,
indifferent to danger and resourceful
in whatever situation they might b3
placed.
In England there has just been form
ed what in some respe.ts is a duplicate
of the rough riders, in that it is made
up of frontiersmen, men who have been
seasoned in the school of hardships
and dangers, and have learned to face
dangers and get out of difficulties. But
the idea of the organization was not
borrowed from America and the rough
riders, for the founder of the new
army, Roger Pocoek, gained his first
inspiration for the organization while
serving his country in the Boer war.
"I realized thpn " lie savs. “that we
frontiersmen were being pat to wrong
uses, and my subsequent experience
in the campaign strengthened that
conviction. We had tumbled all over
each ether to take a hand in the fight.
Outnumbering the Boers, we frontiers
men of the empire, instead of beating
them at their own game, frittered
away our strength playing at soldiers
and imitating Tommy. It is with no
grudge, but with loving admiration
that we own up now how well we
knew his business. But had we come,
not as amateurs, but as guides, as
scouts, as pioneers, as horsemen for
flying raids, with our own leaders and
organization, our own methods, tools,
and weapons we might have done
much to bring the war to a swifter,
more decisive, more merciful ending.”
This new order of frontiersmen has
gained the sanction of the new liberal
secretary of war, Mr. Haldan, and it is
planned that its field of operations
shall extend to every part of the Brit
ish empire, and include the rough and
ready type of men to be found
wherever privations have to be en
dured, dangers faced and difficulties
overcome.
The Karl of Lonsdale has been
chosen as leader of the new order. He
is the only explorer who ever crossed
arctic America and one of the few
arctic explorers who never needed a
rescue expedition. He is also an old
Wyoming hunter, and is accounted the
best horse master tracker in England.
Sir Henry Seton-Karr, another old
(■
ROGER POCOCK. FOUNDER OB' NEW
ARMY.
Wyoming hunter, was made chairman
of the executive council.
The plan of enrollment, as explained
by Mr. Poeock, is as follows:
“Every district in the world where
there are Britishers contains some men
who have seen service in the wilder
ness or at sea. These we will bring
into contact and ask them to form a
club. We do not care whether this i3
a social, sporting, athletic, rifie, polo,
racing or hunting club; its premises
may be a palace, a room in a public
house, or rain swept tents; its funds
may be as large or small as its mem
bers pleas?; but it must elect a chair
man, treasurer and secretary and it
must subscribe to our rules before it
becomes a command of the Legion of
Frontiersmen. The most important
command will be lhat in London, the
rallying center for our tribe through
out the world.
"The main advantage of member
ship in the Legion of Frontiersmen
will be right of entry in its games.
These games will be competitions in
su;h matters as shooting, wrestling,
loading a pack horse, rough riding,
rough driving, scouting and raiding,
all of direct use as a training for war.
The district games in each state or
province will be played for sweep
stakes to find the champion teams.
“The service for which we are es
pecially adapted in war,” said Mr. Po
eock, “is guiding, scouting and pioneer
ing rather than fignting, and the kind
of training we need is not provided in
any army.

WHAT AILED JACK’S STEED
He Had “Trimmed” the Old “Craft”
Shipshape to Facilitate
Navigation.
With many a hitch of his trousers and
pulls at his forelock in respectful salute
to justice, Jack Collins, able seaman, was
navigated up to the court room railing by
a policeman on a charge of cruelty to
animals.
“lie had a paving-stone tied to the tail
of the horse he was riding, your wor
ship,” said the officer who had arrested
him.
"What was that for?”sternly asked the
magistrate.
"Well, admiral, that wasn’t no cruelty
to animals, as this officer says, at all,”
blurted out .Jack, “1 hired that bony craft
outside for a short cruise ashore. Soon
after getting under way l found the
bloomin' old packet wouldn't steer a little
bit. She was all down by the head
and tacked about the street when the
wind was fair astern. Try as I would 1
couldn’t get steady steerage way on her,
and she drifted to windward just as often
as she did to leeward. Then, thinks I,
she’s too light by the stern, as her heels
were constantly liftin’ and racing just
for all the world like our propellers on
the ship when she tosses on a big sea.
‘She wants more weight aft.’ says an old
shipmate of mine that 1 met, and then
1 just got him to help me come to an
anchor while J shipped a little ballast aft.
That’s all, your worship. All shipshape
and above-board, and no reason in the
world why this blue and brass-bound cor
vette here should have overhauled me
at all.”
"Dismissed,” said the justice, after Jack
had agreed to jettison the ballast and take
lead the ancient steed back to the stable.

MIDDLE LIFE
A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many
Dread Diseases—Intelligent Women Prepare
for it. Two Relate their Experiences.
The “change of life” is
the most critical period
of a woman’s existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
—and with a host of ner
vous irritations make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
form ana begin tneir
destructive work.
Such warning symp
toms as sense of suffo
cation, hot flashes, head
aches, backaches, dread
of impending evil, timid
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipa
tion, variable appetite,
weakness, inquietude,
and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by in
telligent women who are
% Mrs A.EGMy land
^OacionGaaaacioaeaooHoaMaaooiaat*^
in life when woman's great change
may be expected.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was prepared to meet the needs
of woman’s system at this trying
period of her life. It invigorates and
strengthens the female organism and
builds up the weakened nervous system.
For special advice regarding this im
portant period women are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
and it will be furnished absolutely free
of charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham
is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pink
ham, her assistant before her decease,
and for twenty-five years since her
advice has been freely given to sick
women.
Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Com
pound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs.
Hinkle:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I had been suffering with displacement of
the organs for years and was passing through
the change of life. My abdomen was badly
swollen; my stomach was sore: I had dizzy
spells, sick headaches, and was very nervous.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comp
•• I wrote you for advice and commenced
treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound as you directed, and I am
happy to say that all those distressing symp
toms left me and I have passed safely through
the change of life, a well woman. I am
recommending your medicine to all my
friends."—Mrs. Annie E. G. Ilyland, Chester
town, Md.
Another Woman’s Case
“ During change of life words cannot ex
Eress what I suffered. My physician said I
ad a cancerous condition of the female
organs. One day I read some of the testi
monials of women who had been cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and I decided to try it and to write you for
advice. Your medicine made me a well
woman, and all my bad symptoms soon
disappeared.
“ I advise every woman at this period of life
to take your medicine and write you for ad
vice.'’—Mrs. Lizzie Hinkle, galem, Ind.
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and
Mrs. Hinkle it will do for other women
at this time of life.
It has conquered pain, restored
health, and prolonged life in cases that
utterly baffled physicians.
