WOMAN REFUSES OPERATION Tells How She Was Saved by Taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. Louisville?, Ky.—“ I think if more suf fering women would take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound they would enjoy better health. I suffered from a female trou ble, and the doctors decided 1 had a tumorous growth find would have to be operated upon, but I refused as I do not believe in opera tions. I had fainting spells, bloated, and could hardly stand the pain in my left side. My husbnnd insisted that I try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful I did, for I am now a well woman. I sleep better, do all my housework and take long walks. I never fail to praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for my good health.”—Mrs. J. M. Rescii, 1900 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky. . Since we guarantee that nil testimo nials which we publish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering in a like manner?

"Young and charming women are needed to keep up enthusiasm In the cause.” BetUe glanced admiringly into the elder woman's face "It was all so lovely,’’ she murmured. "The shaded lights and you, with your silvery hair nnd velvet gown, making that won derful speech. Indeed, 1 was quite thrilled." “Good," laughed the speaker of the afternoon, “and prettily said. Miss Bet- tie! Won't you come to our open meeting tonight and Inspire others? The fathers, brothers and sweethearts are invited, for. between you nnd me. my dear, notwithstanding our boasted independence, it Is the men’s assist ance which we need and must have." So Rettle gladly agreed, bursting in upon her assembled family a short time Inter In a state of jubilant excite ment. “1 am a suffragette.” she explained, somewhat incoherently, “und It's the finest thing In the world. Hereafter I shall have a voice in matters which concern me, nnd men shall not entire ly manage my affairs. 1 am going to another meeting tonight, Dickie.” she went on. “and you will have to take me." Her brother rested knife nnd fork to look at her. "I have an engagement," he began tentatively. “What time?" Ills sister asked. Dick considered. Lectures and things of that sort usually opened at 8o'clock “Seven-thirty," he answered briskly. Bettie seated herself at the table “Then you need be only half an hour late for your engagement." she re marked pleasantly. "But how will you get home?” Dick grumbled. Bettie smiled in the direc tion of her father. “Oh. dad will attend to that,” she said. Father shook his bend. “I'm afraid I can’t make it. Boss." he said apologetically. “The directors' meeting Is called for and we sel dom finish business until a late hour." “You can be excused." this tyran nized young woman assured hint, and so it was settled. Mrs. Sturtevnnt met her new recruit at the door. "So good of you to come," was her greeting “We are going to have a large, representative crowd nnd many brilliant speakers. Let me introduce you quickly: then, when you have found a disinterested person, endeavor to enthuse him In the eatise. Those bright eyes of yours could convince a man of anything yon choose," she add ed teasingl.v. Bettie had forgotten half the mur mured names before the round of lnr.ro ductinus was accomplished, but she found herself presently, seated at the rear of the spacious hall, with a good looking young tnnn us companion. He was boyishly frank—this young tnnn— and Ingenuous. ••.Mrs. Sturtevnnt mentioned you ns a friend of many years," he said. "That also applies to me. I used to make sand pies in her garden." "Perhaps 1 may have helped you." Bettie suggested with a sidewise glauce, but the young man shook bis head. “I should have remembered if you had." he answered meaningly, nnd both laughed. "1 think I nevpr saw so many beau tiful women gathered together as those here tonight", the young man contin ued. Bettie leaned forward, enger for a discussion. "That,” she explained, “is because they are interested und enthu siastic. All suffragettes are beautiful." Her compunlou shook his head de cidedly. "I have attended other meet ings." he replied. “Y'ou are prejudiced." Bottle accused. “Not a bit of It," her companion re torted. “Why. m.v own sister is an ardent worker for the cause." "And she has not convinced you?" Bettie Incredulously exclaimed. The young man laughed. “Eleanor couldn't convince tue in a thousand years,” he said; "she’s too illogical.” BetUe bestowed a contemptuous glance upon him. “ ‘There is no one so blind us those who will not see,’ " she quoted. The provoking young mao wheeled about to regard her amusedly. "1 urn open to conviction upon every subject,” he answered. Bettie studied the frank, good uutured face reflectively. Here would be a convert worthy of the cause—manly, forceful, with a mag netism of personality that drew one against one’s protesting will to look again and still again Into the mocking dark eyes. At home in the corner of her desk was tucked an instructive bonk which Mrs. Sturtevnnt had urged tier to study She might look it over before tomorrow evening and then— “.Sometimes,” said Bettie. "one is not in sympathy with a certain move ment because one does not fully un derstand its purpose. Now. if i could prove to you the benefit ft suffrage, could explain Its many”— "You could." the .voting man Inter rupted with surprising readiness; "I'm sure you could May 1 call some even ing and learn your views on the sub ject? Being mutual friends of Mrs. Sturtevnnt and all that"— "Tomorrow?" Bettie suggested, nnd her companion agreed with alacrity. She leaned back with a sigh ot relief. Mrs. Sturtevnnt would be plen-ed wltn this conquest Hut that Inclv had as remled tht 1 platform steps. Bettie leaned forward, listening in n gio" ol pride to that perfectly modulated voice. "Clever speech." sue reimii keil to the young man at tier side, but ue quizzically raised tils eyebrows Her statistics are wrung,' lie re plied. They are net”-Bettie’s cheeks were (laming with Indignation -“they count not be wrong.'' Then perhaps yon will explain to morrow evening," tilts exasperating young man went, "how it would be possible for 70.080 people"— Bettie's red lips closed determinedly. For the benefit ot this scoffer she would straighten out those tangled fig ures If she were obliged to sit up till night, book in hand, in order to do it. As Mrs. Stnrtevant’s voice droned on nnd on the young man apparently be came less interested. Drawing a pa per at last from Ills pocket, he Indulged In desultory scribbling, erasing as be wrote. When Bettie could no longer endure this open inattention she arose to leave the proximity ot so annoying u companion. “If the remarks bore you," she snld severely, "yon might at least pay the speaker the courtesy ot attention." But as .Mrs. Sturtevnnt. graciously smiling, descended the plnttorm the lender’s clear voice came to them. “1 now take great pleasure." she an nounced. "iu Introducing to you tne speaker of the evening, whose gener ous support ot our cause has helped materially to increase Its power, whose eloquence has won for us many follow ers. Ladles nnd gentlemen, Mr. Spen cer Brown." And before Bettie's bewildered eyes her companion arose, with a mischiev ous smile, and sauntered carelessly to ward the raised dais. “1 atn still with you." he called, while the cultured audience cheered wildly. As the instructive speech progressed auger and wounded pride burned til the heart ot Bettie. Here he had sat, this deceitful young man. drawing her out In his guileless way, to secretly laugh her to scorn. Wrntltiully she clutched her opera glasses nnd moved toward the door. Dad was there awaiting her coining. "Let us stay tor Brown's speech," he whispered. "It's sure to be worth while, lie is the young ’limn ot the hour' in Tuxliurj. bound to be mayor some day and later more titan that, mark tny words/' But Bottle Hottuced on down tile stairs. So breathless was her (light that she did not miss her opera cloak until some one stood hold ing it out to her troth an upper rest of the stairs. "If you wore not Interested In the remarks." reproached a tantalizing voice, "you might at least have given the speaker the courtesy of attention.'' Bettie gazed in wide eyed astonishment at the tall figure above. "May I ask you to wait while I re store your property?" the speaker con tinued. “My pride and dignity have suffered stilliclontly In this sudden, hasty exit from the hall without being further obliged to descend Headlong down the stairs.” A smile trembled at the corners ot Bettie's lips; then she dimpled merrily. "You are not 'obliged, " said Bettie. "I ant." positively declared Mr. Brown When he had carefully wrap- lied the cloak about her shoulders he still lingered. "I have n message from Mrs. Sturtevnnt.’ he told her. "You are elected delegate to the convention ut Bi’onxhurst tomorrow, while 1 have been chosen speaker; therefore we shall have to post|K»ue that instruc tive meeting at your home-unless you would be so kind as to enlighten mo during the journey.” There was no reply. "I have been called a delightful trav eling companion.” modestly suggested Mr. Brown. He bent to look earnestly into the girl’s averted face. "You will go?" he begged. “But I do not understand the duties of a delegate." she objected. "A delegate's chief duty," Mr. Brown informed her, "is to see that the speak er is well entertained." "Indeed?’’ questioned Bettie. "Yes,” answered the speaker. For n moment their eyes met in laughing challenge; then the girl's lowered be fore something softly shining In his own. “I will go." she said. And long after the door had closed upon her slender figure the young man stood lost iu reverie. "And Bronx hurst just begins the journey," he murmured happily. The convention at BronxJjurst was eminently successful. The convention hall was crowded and the enthusiasm was at fever beat. Ml. Brown took a prominent part in some of the dis cussions and gave sound advIcy*. Bet tie's attention was fixed upon him with ever increasing admiration. All things must have an end. nnd so had the convention. Bettie remem bered that the next evening she was to convert Mr. Brown to the cause and wondered If he would appear for the purixise of being converted. As the hour appropriate for an evening call approached, dressed In tier most be coming costume, she awaited the com lug of the man to whom she was to ex plain the doctrines ot equal suffrage. When the doorbell rang she was quite In a flutter. "Mr. Brown." she said. "I think it wns very mean of you to deceive me as you did." "Had 1 disabused your mind of your error I should not have enjoyed this call," When Mr. Brown left Bettie that evening at n late hour she had convert ed him. but not to the cause ut woman suffrage He had become convinced that lie wanted tier for his wife. | 4.n_ t erflE , -r-a THE FIRST CANNON They Were In Use Long Before Hand Firearms Appeared. CRUDE GUNS OF EARLY DAYS Curious Weapons From Which Have Boon Evolved the Modern Deadly En gines ot War—Uncle Sam s Famous Collection In the National Museum. HUSBAND RESCUED ! DESPAIRING WIFE Specimens of mllltnry and other forms of firearms from England. France, Russia. Japan, Germnny and many other countries, are to be seen In the small arms exhibition of the United States national museum The exhibit includes some Mot) individual pieces and comprises probably the best general collection In the United States, considering tliar there are represented examples of military rlllos. pistols and revolvers, sporting shotguns and rlllos, target rides and pistols, and numer ous odd and unusual pieces relating to tile development of firearms. Although the discovery of gunpowder is attributed by some to China, there is no positive evidence that the Chi nese ever made use of it. At an early period they produced certain kinds of fireworks, accounts of which came through Persia. Egypt and tile Moorish countries In southern Europe, but gun powder for use in firearms. It Is be lieved originated Iu Italy. Spain or Ger mnny. While cannon of a sort wore built in the early part of the fourteenth century, hand firearms were slow to be adopted on account of their unre liability. nnd It was not until about J381 that they are known to have ap peared In Germnny. while Europe in general did not take them up until the middle of the fifteenth century, when they became known ns band cannon. The earliest form of hand gun was a crude ntinir, fired by the application ot a burning match to the touehhole. The first Improvement was the mounting ot the match on a springless lock or cock, which utter, upon the addition ot a spring, iR'CUme known as the match lock. Examples ol this early weapon from India. China, Afghanistan, Japan. Formosa. Arabia. Morocco and Mexico tire 111 tile museum collection. The next development wns tile wheel lock gun. about 1515 or ir>17, fired by a spark struck on pyrites by a roughened wheel revolved by a spring Sped mens of lids type ot gun and pistol from Greece. Germany and England are also included In the museum ex mbit. A form of flintlock, called the snap hntinre. followed In trill). Tills siihsf.l tilted In place of the wheel a lock which held In Its Jaws a piece or py rites and when released lilt the cover ot Hie pan. striking a spark, which Ig idled the charge of powder. A pair of pistols of tills typo from Constantino tile illustrate the principle well Fur ther Improvements In thp suaphriurid resulted in the flintlock gun. in which a piece of Hint replaced the pyrites, Examples of lids style are more com inou, and some sixty are Included In the museum collection, representing nearly every country and well illustrat ing the various changes and improve merits made. One ot the most Interesting nnd vnl liable arms In the collections Is the John Oookson flintlock breech loading 'magazine gun. made in IfiHij, which ha a magazine In the stock capable of holding ten rounds of loose powder and bullets. One movement of the lever feeds the ammunition Into the barrel, cocks tin* hammer und primes the pan. In spite ot the English name ot the maker, this odd piece Is believed to be of Spanish origin on account of Its general type and the style of Its decoration. It was probably brought to Maryland by the early English colonists. At least It was found In Baltimore and confiscat ed In 180,'i and Held by the government until IStj?, when it was thrown away. In lHH(j tt was purchased for a small sum and put in its present perfect con dition by a gunsmith of Baltimore, from whom It was secured by an American collector and presented to the museum From a mllltnry viewpoint, the de sign of this gun evidences great ad vances ot Its time. for. with the maga zine charging appurtenance, ten shots could lie fired In n little more time than Is required for a modern maga zine gun. Altogether, the antiquity, design, workmanship and beauty of this gun make It a most valuable nnd remarkable relic. The collection also contains severnl pillock, and the percussion cap guns, which followed the (lint lock, and the Prussia needle gun. and the French Chassepot which appeared somewhat Utter. The development of the gun and am munition Id the United Suites Is well Illustrated by a series of historical cases showing the ry[«‘S used In the succeeding wars from the French and Indian to the war with Spain, thus connecting closely history and Inven tion. While many foreign guns are repre sented they are riot all of the latest patent or of the type now In use. in the case of out military rifle, however, the latest developments are shown, and It Is Interesting to note that the Springfield rifle, generally known as the Won model, though It has been Im proved upon since. Is to tie found In three sepiyHte series-the target, game and military showing that It is suit able. with different sorts of ammiitd tion. to niHti.v uses Some ot tlie museum specimens are the donations of individuals, others are from America n uniniifaetnrers, the war Htid miry departments, and the patent office — Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Catron, Ky — In an intcrcRling letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: ‘‘1 suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, nnd during this time, 1 could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At limes, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and bis treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After Uiat, nothing seemed to do nte any good. — I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and 1 gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com menced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me.
