THE COME AND SEE SIGN
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean ?
It means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. It means
that there is nothing about the bus
iness which is not “ open and above
board.”
It means that a permanent invita
tion is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs — with
out drugs ?
Come and. See.
Do the women of America continu
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Iinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write ?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential ?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents ?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women ?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
efited by it; but the poor doubting,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake,be taught confidence .for she also
might just as well regain her health.

GIRL TAKES MIDNIGHT
RIDE Of! A WHITE HOG
fHOUGHT SHE HAD BEEN CAP
TURED BY A GHOST IN HER
OWN HOUSE.
Skowhegan, Me.—To be wakened
from a sound sleep at two a. m. by
weird noises and then to be carried
downstairs and a quarter of a mile
from home on the back of a strange
white creature which aroused suspi
cions of ghosts was the unusual ex
perience of the 16-year-old daughter of
Frank Lane of this town.
Mr. Lane was first awakened by
strange sounds. He decided the wind
was whistling about the house corner,
and went to sleep again. Soon after
the noises were heard again, and this
time more distinct. In fact, they
The Hog Was Making Off with His
Daughter.
seemed to be in the hall. It was .like
the hiss of escaping steam or the
swish of bushes.
Mr. Lane investigated. His daugh
ter had heard the same noises and
they appeared in the hall from their
rooms simultaneously. They were
greeted with an unusual sight. Lum
bering toward them was a huge white
object. Suddenly there was a crash
and the sound of breaking glass. The
strange object, which looked as ghosts
are pictured, had collided with a piece
of furniture and broken a mirror.
Mr. Lane's daughter ran toward her
father. Befere she reached him the
ghost-like object met her. Together
they rolled downstairs.
By this time Mr. Lane had collected
his thoughts and realized that a big
hog which he kept in the stable had
become loose and in some way had
gotten into the house and upstairs,
and that the hog was now making off
with the daughter of the family riding
on its back. He started in pursuit of
the animal. After following about a
quarter of a mile he found the young
woman lying beside the road in a
badly frightened condition. He took
her home in his arms. *nd in a short
time quiet was restored to the house
hold, though the women folks slept
little for the remainder of the night.
The pig was later found at a neigh
bor’s, none the worse from its experi
ence of the night before, quietly root
ing in the mud of the stable yard.
WILDCAT IN FREIGHT CAR.
Now It’s Loose Near South Amboy;
Natives Go Armed.
South Amboy, N. J.—Many rest
dents of this town have armed them
selves in anticipation of a sudden at
t^ck by a supposed wild cat. which es
caped from a Pennsylvania freight
car. The car contained lumber con
signed to the South Amboy Lumber
and Supply company. It came to the
company's yards from North Caro
lina, and was on the way nearly s
week.
As the lumber handlers started. tc
open the car they heard a scratching
noise inside, and when they opened
the door they saw in the shadow twc
gleaming eyes. None of the mer
wanted to enter. Finally Edward ;
Letts hit upon the happy expedient ol
going to the other side of the car and
banging it with a crowbar. The others
drew away from the door to give the
animal a chance to come out. It did.
It proved to be a wild cat, or south
ern lynx, and the lumber handlers saj
it was about four feet long, though its
rapid exit from the lumber yard maj
have caused an optical delusion in this
respect.
It was seen later in the day drink
ing from a spring near the railroad

Girl Fled on a Handcar.
Alicia, Ark.—Determined that she
would not marry any other than hei
own choice, Miss Birdie .Drickly, a
girl in her teens, scooted down the
fire escape after a merry chase with
the man her father selected for her,
and, making for the railroad, success
fully pleaded with the foreman of a
section gang, who carried her on a
handcar to Minturn to marry Sam
Smith, her sweetheart. The bride
groom, however, had gone on to Hoxie,
and when Miss Drickly reached there
she found her father and Smith await
ing her. The father had hurried cross
country on horseback. He exacted a
promise of Smith to return home for a
formal marriage ceremony, and all
returned here, when the knot was
tied.
THE FAINTING SEASON.
Good results in painting at the least
tost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily, test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and t
see what it will do. If it is pure I
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tience the White Lead can be com
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lic lead. This is because pure W’hite
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other so
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting j
done with such materials, no matter (
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City; are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about'to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis
piece the “Dutch Boy Painter,” re
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

A Boy on Clergymen.
Bishop Potter, at an ecclesiastical
dinner in New York, read a Coopers
town schoolboy’s essay on “Clergy
men.” The essay, which created much
amusement, was as follows-:
“There are 3 kinds of clergymen
bishups, recters and curates. The bish
ups tell the recters to work and the
curats have to do it, a curate is a thin
married man, but when lie is a recter
he gets fuller and can preach longer
sermons and becums a good man.”

THE LIVING ROOM
It Should at All Times Be a “Livable”
Room.
What to do with the living room is
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as well as in name a living
room—a livable room. It is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with .rugs and carpeting, and
indicate a higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of a hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti
ful, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not .grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of a tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect 85% of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 15%.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos
ing a color which -will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify it, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color wheme of a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light of the room.
Might Be Sure of That.
Bobby is the son of a minister and
has had the experience of "moving”
four times in the space of his eight
years’ life. Some time ago an elder
ly minister was visiting Bobby's father
and the course of the conversation

asked concerning the abode of the
blest. "Yes,” said the youngster, with
a sigh of deep weariness, “I know. It’s
the last place we’re going to move to.”

“Well, where’s the harm in that?”
“It’s this: The first thing he'll do if
I take him on will be to take me off.”
