HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER
The Late Secretary of State "Had a
Way with Him” That
,'iiways Won.
Story is told of the late John Hay
illustrative of that fine diplomatic
temperament that made his name
know all over the world, says the
American Spectxitor.
Some years ago Mr. Hay sent Mr.
Alexander Gunn, of Cleveland, for his
perusal the manuscript of an interest
ing bit of work by Mark Twain, en
titled, “A Conversation as it was at
the Social Fireside in the Time of the
Tudors.” Mr. Hay knew that his
friend Gunn, a connoisseur of litera
ture and art. would be much interest
ed in what the former termed a “seri
ous effort to bring back our literature
and philosophy to the chaste, Eliza
bethan standard.”
Now it appears that Mr. Gunn was
so delighted with Twain's sketch that
he wrote to Mr. Hay proposing to
print, a limited number of copies there
of for private distribution. It Is said
that Mr. Hay replied as follows:
"The proposition you make to pull a
few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is
highly attractive, and, of course, high
ly immoral. I cannot properly consent
to the suggestion, as I am afraid the
great man would think I was taking
an unfair advantage of his confidence.
Accordingly, I will thank you to send
back the manuscript as soon as pos
sible; but if, in spite of my prohibi
tion, you take those proofs, save me
one.”
It was superfluous to add that, with
this hint, the proofs were "pulled”—
one for Mr. Hay and one for Mr.
Gunn.
A CRITICAL PERIOD
INTELLIGENTWOMEN PREPARE
Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period
Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pink,
ham’s Vegetable Compound.
How many wo
men realize that
the most critical
period in a wo
man's existence
is the change of
life, and that the
anxiety felt by
women as this
time draws near
is not without
reason ?
If her system is in a deranged condi
tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia
ble appetite, weakness and inquietude
are promptly heeded by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
We believe Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound is the world's great
est remedy for women at this trying
period.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.
Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester
town, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pink
ham, says:
Dear Mrs. Pinkliam:—
“ I had l>een suffering with a displacement
for years and was passing through the change
of life. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy
spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I
wrote you for advice and commenced treat
ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as you directed, and I am happy
to say that all those distressing symptoms left
me, and I have passed safely through the
change of life a well woman.”
For special advice regarding this im
portant period worn, u are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass
She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
Pinkham and for twenty-five years has
been advising sick women free of
charge. Her advice is free and always
helpful to ailing women.

Mr. W A. Kelly, of Mayu

and the following letter tells
how he uses St. Joseph’s Liv

MAKES HIS OWN TONIC.
"For about nine yr ,.rs I had heart trouble*
and pains in the head, resulting from liver

treatment but they did not help me any. I
began using St. Joseph’s Liver Regulator and
it helped me nt once. I have taken'several

FAINTING SPELLS
Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the
Remedy Which Actually Makes
New Blood.
Anaemia makes the patient short ol
breath so that there is often a sense of
suffocation, sometimes there is a cough
and the sufferer seems to be going into
consumption, at' others there is a mur
mur of the heart and heart disease is
feared. In the following case severe
fainting spells were an alarming symp
tom resulting from “ too little blood.”
Mrs. George Forrester, of 7 Curtis
street, Watertown, N.Y., says: “Some
time ago I took a heavy cold and it left
me iu a very weak condition. I be
came worse and worse until finally I
had anaemia. I lost flesh and appetite,
had no color and was subject to fainting
spells. Sometimes they would attack
me suddenly and I would fall to the floor
with hardly any warning.
“I had one of our best physicians,
but after he had been attending me
about a month without any improve
ment in my condition, I decided to see
what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills would do.
“The pills were well known to me
for, about two years before, members
of my family had taken them with the
best results. I soon found that the pills
were just what I needed for I soon be
gan to notice an improvement. After I
bad taken them a while longer I was en
tirely cured, and we all believe in Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills and recommend
them highly.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make
new blood. They do that one thing and
they do it well. Impoverished blood is
deficient in red corpuscles. Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills increase the number of these
red corpuscles and in this way send
health and strength to every tissue.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills or they will be sent by mail, post
paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per
box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

KNIFED.
Coffee Knifed an Old Soldier.
An old soldier, released from cof
fee at 72, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows*
“I stuck to coffee for years, although
it knifed me again and again.
“About eight years ago (as a result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver), 1 was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
“1 would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to suf
fer a relapse. After this had been
repeated several times during the year
I was again taken violently ill.
“The Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case, and it was either ‘quit
coffee or die,’ advising me to take Pos
tum in its place. I had always thought
coffee one of my dearest friends, and
especially when sick, and I was very
much taken back by the Doctor’s deci
sion, for 1 hadn’t suspected the coffee
1 drank could possibly cause my trou
ble.
I thought it over for a few minutes,
and finally told the Doctor I would
make the change. Postum was pro
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, I liked
it and stuck to it, and since then I
have been a new man. The change in
health began in a few days and sur
prised me, and now, although I am
seventy-two years of age, I do lots of
hard work, and for the past month
have been teaming, driving sixteen
miles a dry besides loading and un
loading the wagon. That’s what Pos
tum in the place of coffee has done
for me. I now like the Postum as well
as I did coffee.
“I have known people who did not
care for Postum at first, but after hav
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions they have come to
like it as well as coffee. I never miss
a chance to praise it.” Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Capt. Mark Casto was being congrat

Carnegie here fund for bravery in the
wreck of the Cherokee, relates the
New York Tribune.
“The gift was unexpected,” said
Capt. Casto with a modest smire. “It
was as unexpected, though by no
means as unpleasant, as the retort
tuat a wife made to her husband when
he came home at three o’clock in the
morning.
“The man came home very quietly.
In fact, he took off his shoes on the
front doorstep. Then he unlocked the
door and went cautiously and slowly
upstairs on his tiptoe, holding his
breath.
“But light was streaming through
the kephole of the door of the bed
room. With a sigh he paused. Then
he opened the door and entered.
“His wife stood by the bureau fully
dressed.
"I didn’t expect you’d be sitting up
for me, my dear,’ he said.
“ ‘I haven’t been,’ she said. ‘I just
came in mvself.’ ’’

“Since the year 1894 I have been trou

cure, and I went to the hospital, but they
failed to cure, me, and it was getting
worse aH the time. Five weeks ago my
wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment
and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am
pleased to say that I am now completely
cured and well. It was impossible for me
to get employment, as my face, head and
body were covered with it. The eczema
first appeared on the top of my head, and
it had worked all the way around down
the back of my neck and around to my
throat, down my body and around the
hips. It itched so I would be obliged to
scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am
now all well, and I will be pleased to
recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all
persons who wish a speedy and permanent
cure of skin diseases. Thomas M. Rosgi

A gentleman and his wife were sit

ater. On the f.oor the man saw a large
hat-pin with an amber head. The Chi
cago Dally News tells what he did
with it.
Looking about him. he saw that
two women and their escorts had just
sat down. To one of the women he
presented the pin. A shake of the head
indicated that he had made a mistake.
Then he tried two ladies across the
aisle. They seemed to be interested.
The pin was a curiosity, and its amber
of a unique carving. They hesitated,
but handed the pin back.
Desperately, he began the- search
anew. Two ladies unattended seemed
likely owners. To them also he
showed the pin. They took it and en
joyed its pattern.
Just then the man felt a tug on his,
sleeve. It was his wife, and she re
marked, “Why are you showing my
hat-pin to strangers?’’
Blushing, he went over to the la
dies, who were still looking at the pin,
and explained.
“It’s my wife’s pin,” he said, but In

the women handed it back with doubt
