SPEAKER’S PREDICAMENT. |
Couldn’t Shake with His Right Hand
Because It Was Performing
Important Service.
One of the big New York magazines Te
rentiy sent a representative to Vv'ashing
ton to induce Speaker Cannon to write
a scries of articles on congressional af
fairs, Bays a Washington letter to the j
New York American. As the speaker left I
his seat for his cloakroom, where the 1
magazine man was waiting, one of the
ends of his suspenders broke in twain.
He jjave his left hand to his caller, while
holding up his trousers with the other,
and asked, dryly and seriously:
“fjay. .vou don’t happen to be toting an
extra pair of galluses around in your
pockets, be you''”
The magazine man didn’t, and hr said
so. Then they both sat down and the j
speaker was told what was wanted of [
him.
‘2*0, sir.” he said. “1 haven’t the time, |
amf if l did have it 1 am neither a lvter 1
attatoriurn nor a journriisticum. Sorry,” j
and the interview came to a close. Then i
the speaker borrowed a pin, and. resum
ing his chair, rapped softly with his gavel
and said: “The house will please be in
order.”

SAVE THE BUFFALO
THE MOVEMENT FOR THIS IS
GAINING GROUND.
Ernest Harold Baynes Tells of the Men
and Societies Assisting in This ,
Work—The Real Ameri
can Animal.
The movement for the preservation
of the last few hundred specimens of
American buffalo, not long since the
most numerous of the earth’s big mam
mals, is rapidly gaining ground. The
deep regret of the American people at
the fact that their grandest native ani
mal has all but disappeared, finds ex
pression in a hundred ways. Naturalists
and true sportsmen are meeting, both in
public and in private, not to discuss the
advisability or the possibilty of pre
serving the animal—those points have
been decided once and for all by the best
authorities in the country—but to con
sider and formulate wise plans for its
preservation. Naturalists who have
never lectured or spoken in public be
fore are raising their voices in this
cause; they know that if they have any
thing to say in the interest of the bulta
io. they must say it at once or it will be
too late. And men. aye, and women, too,
who arc not naturalsts, but who are lov
ers of things which live, are helping the
movement by expressing to others their
interest in it. Those who can write well
are writing strong letters and articles for
publication in the papers and magazines,
and many others of less ability are writ
ing the best they can. and by reason of
their great earnestness these are oltiines
quite as eloquent as those who have a
more finished style.
The interest of scientific bodies is be
ing aroused, and almost every day we
hear of some sportsman's club or nat
ural history society discussing the sub
ject of the buffalo and passing resolu
tions expressing sympathy with the
movement now on foot to save him.
Seme have gone even further than this,
and are even now agitating the question
of organizing a national society, whose
object shall be to arrange for the preser
vation of the typical American mammal.
The first step has been taken, the men
and women who took it are in earnest,
and it is safe to predict that, before the
buffalo has grown his heavy coat to pro
tect him from next winter's cold, his
friends will have gathered around him
in force, for the purpose cf protecting
hint from the colder hand of the fate
which now threatens his existence. And
w hen these people have once organized
I believe that the preservation of the
bison w ill no longer be one of the objects
which "should be accomplished." but
rather one of those which "must be anr.
shall be" accomplished.
In the meantime it Is very desirable
that those who are now, and who for
months have been, working so hard for
this cause, should be assured of the co
operation of all who have the interest of
our native animals at heart. The suc
cess of the movement would be benefi
cial to the entire nation, and therefore it
should have the support of the nation.
That means the support of the reader of
this article, just as much as that of the
man in Cincinnati, or St. Louis. The
preservation of the buffalo is probably
dependent on governmental action in the
matter, since in the hands of the govern
ment alone will it be quite safe from
those who are continually offering big
prices for heads and hides. In other
words, the matter is in the hands of the
people, and my reader is one of these
Every set of resolutions that is passed,
favoring the movement; every letter
addressed to me at Meriden, N. H.. will
help the cause of the buffalo, and will
bring nearer to us the day when this
great animal will be out of danger. In
the entire United States there are now
only GOO-odd buffaloes, exclusive of those
confined in public parks and gardens,
and which cannot he counted on to assist
in the perpetuation of the race. The ma
jority of these are in three herds, the
Corbin herd at Newport. N. H.; thePab
lo-Allard herds in Montana, and the
James Philips herd in South Dakota. If
tuberculosis or other contagious disease
were to carry oft any one of these herds,
the fate of the race would probably be
sealed, as even now there are none too
many strains to allow for the necessary
interchange of blood. This danger could
be avoided at once if the government di
vided these herds into smaller ones and
provided for their maintenance on sep
arate reservations.
While speaking on this subject with
an old plainsman the other day, he re
marked:
well, mere is no otner native ammai
toward which Americans should have so
kindly a feeling a*s for the buffalo; it has
done more toward the civilization of the
country than all the rest put together.
To the explorer and early settlers it was
an unfailing supply of the best kind of
food, and many a hundred times have
thirsty tradvelers been more than grate
ful for the water which collected in the
buffalo' wallows. And w ho shall say how
many thousands have enjoyed the lux
ury of a flro on the treeless plains of the
west, when but for the constant supply
of buffalo chips they would have been
obliged to spend the days and nlghta
damp, cold and miserable. Save the buf
falo? Well, I should say they ought to,
rather.”

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE CASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
Tlie by Mr. Schroepprl and
by Captain Ualfuur in Great Demand in
Vicinity of Their Homes.
Iii the winter of 1902-3 Mr. Schroeppcl
was confined to his bed by n severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctor’s treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse
quently regained his health by means
which ho describes with great enthu
siasm.
“After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain,” said he, “ during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, I felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, a woman eighty years of
ago, paid mo a visit. Sho had received
| great benefit from Dr. Williams’ Pink
I Pills, and sho was confident they would
help mo. At hi r solicitation I gave up
the doctor’s treatment and took the pills
in its place.”
“And wero yon cured as tho result of
taking her advice?”
“ Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Bo
foro tho second box was finished I felt
very manifest improvement, ami within
two weeks I was able to leave my bed and
tako up my neglected farm work. I con
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long beforo that I felt that every ves
tige of tho disease had been eradicated.
“Ayo thcro no traces left?”
“Absolutely none. For a year and
tjireo months there has never been the
Slightest return of tho old trouble. For
this happy result I and my family freely
praise Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”
Within tho bounds of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich., there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr. Homy
Schroeppcl. His euro has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One of Mr. Schroeppcl’s neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr. Schroeppcl’s case,
decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
ho was himself suffering. Ho took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment.”
It is little wonder’ that Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills nro much in favor in the com
munity where Mr. Schroeppcl and Cnp
taiu Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by#11 druggists
and nro equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.
Healtl? of American Women
A Subject Much Discussed at Women’s Clubs—
The Future of a Country Depends on the
Health of Its Women.
At tlie New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women presentthathealthy ’
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state- i
nient of the condition of American ■
women. Yet how many do you know ,
who are perfectly well and do not have <
some trouble arising from a derange- 1
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back- ;
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down ,
feeling, painful or irregular menstrua- '
tion, leucorrhoea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness? There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other reme
dies in the world. It regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female com
plaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“1 can truly say that you have saved my life j
and I cannot express my gratitude to you in !
words. For two years I st>ent lots of money ■
in doctoring without any benefit for men-1
struai irregularities and I had given up all
hoj>es of ever being well again, but I was ;
persuaded to trv Lydia E. Pinkhams Vego-!
table Compound and three bottles have re !
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you 1 would have been in my grave
to-day.”
