Though Sickand Suffering; At
Last Found Help in Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound.
Richmond, Pa. - “ When I started
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound 1 was in a
dreadfully rundown
state of health,
had internal trou
bles, and was so ex
tremely nervous and
prostrated that if I
had given in to my
feelings I would
have been in bed.
As it was I had
hardly strength at
times to be on my
feet and what I did do was by a great
effort. I could not sleep at night and
of course felt very bad in the morning,
and had a steady headuche.
“After taking the second bottle 1 no
ticed that the headache was not so bad,
1 rested better, and my nerves were
stronger. I continued its use until it
made a new woman of me, and now I
can hardly realize that I am able to do
bo much as I do. Whenever I know any
woman in need of a good medicine 1
highly praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound.” — Mrs. Frank
Clark, 3146 N. Tulip St., Richmond,Pa.

One morning during the Amerienn
Revolution when the Itritish were In
possession of Now York city John Ar-
mlUige, a captain In oue of the regi
ments quartered there, called at head
quarters and asked for a short leave
of absence. The officer whose duty It
was to attend to the matter of leaves,
passes, etc., looked lip at the applicant,
a handsome and retlned young fellow,
and said:
“Captain, 1 venture that you are In
tending to visit some fair lady, if so
1 cannot grant you a leave, for the
general has more fear of these Yankee
rebel Inssies than a whole brigade of
the men."
"I admit, major,” replied Armitage.
that 1 propose to visit a Yankee girl,
but she is not a rebel. She is with us
in loyalty to the king.”
‘Are your intentions serious, cap
tain?”
“My purpose In making this trip is
serious Indeed. The lady is wooed by
an officer of Washington’s urmy whom
her father wishes her to marry. She
has written me a note urging me to
come to her. I fear that pressure is
being brought to bear upon her to in
duce her to marry my rival.”
Major Harrington thought a few mo
ments, then asked:
"Where do you propose to go?”
"To Morristown.”
“Washington’s headquarters?"
“Yes.”
Again a few moments were passed
in reflection; then the aid spoke again:
"This is a dangerous visit you are
about to make, captain. 1 fear the
general would not approve of it.”
"Put yourself in my place, major.
"Ab. you Bly dog, you know bow to
plead. All the world loves a lover,
will grant the leave, and If you are
caught 1 shall doubtless be relieved
from duty on the general's staff. Be
careful that .Von are uot taken and
hanged for a spy.”
“If 1 am hanged it will lie for love.”
Armitage, lu mufti, hired a man to
pull him over the river directly oppo
site the fort on the southernmost point
of Manhattan Island. Me landed in
the then village of Jersey City. There
he took horse, crossed the meadows,
passed through Elizabethtown and at
nightfall, having left bis horse at a
roadside inn on the outskirts of Mor-
ristowu, proceeded on foot to the square
about wbicb that city Is located.
In a dwelling on the west side of the
square lived Winifred Dudley, the lady
from whom Armitage had received the
summons (hut bad brought him to Mor-
rlstowu. The blinds of the living room
were open, and by the light of logs
burniug ou the hearth within the cap
tain could see into the room and thnt
it was vacant. This gave him courage.
His chlef*dreud was that some Ameri
can oflicer might he calling at the
house, and. If so. he would he In this
room. So the young Briton walked
boldly up to the door and tapped on
it with the ring which hung from
the mouth of a metal lion. Winifred
Dudley, who was on the watch for
her lover, ran hastily down the stair
case and admitted him, first drawing
the window curtains in the living room.
"The time of your arrival is unfortu
nate.” said Winifred. "Captain Whar
ton. whom my father Is anxious that
1 should marry, has sent me word that
he will call this evening for Ills final
answer.”
The words were scarcely uttered
when the sound of a horse’s splutter
was heard without and the clank of
side arms ns some one dismounted.
In the living room was a large closet.
Winifred hurried her lover Into this
closet. A moment later there was a
knock at the front door, and she ad
mitted Captain Wharton, an American
dragoon.
"How. now. iittle one!" exclaimed
the captain. "You are all In u flutter.
Surely the decision 1 come for cannot
have wrought such ugltutlon. If you
love me you roust be pleased to tell
me so; If not—well, in tbnt ense I must
hear ihe blow as best 1 can.”
He had clasped the hand she offered
him by way of salutation and, huldiug
it. looked into her face wistfully. But
he saw no encouragement and. drop
ping the hand, walked beside her into
the living room and gluomily took the
seat she offered him.
"I regret. Captain Wharton." she
said, "that my answer to the great
honor you have done me must be the
same as It has been. My father is an
ardent patriot and wished me lo wed
with one of patriot sympathies. But
we are a divided family. My sympa
thies are all with the king. Tbut you
may consider my answer final I will
reveal to you that I have given my
heart to a British officer.”
Captain Wharton at this announce
ment stood with bowed head and In
silence. That silence was broken hy a
j loud rap at the door. Winifred start-
led and turned pale. Then, going to
I the door, she threw It open. A citizen
'attended hy several soldiers entered.
"This man.” said one of the soldiers,
pointing t« the citizen. "»aw a man
I who does not belong to this place stop
nt a tavern at nightfall and steal tv>-
tweeu our pickets. He came tu ihta
house. We have been ordered to find
him and rail upon him to give an no
count of himself."
"Are you sure lie came in here?’
asked Winifred.
“1 am." replied the citizen.
“We have been ordered to search thi
bouse." said the soldier who had
spoken.
You will do no such tiling,” said
Captain Wharton, “in support of Mist
Dudley's testimony I give you my word
of honor ns an officer a gentlcmnr
thnt there is no such pefson here."
There was a brief silence, at the end
of which the recently arrived party
were turning to leave the house when
the closet door was thrown open and
a man In citizen's dress stepped forth.
“1 cannot permit any one to bear
false witness in my behalf." he said.
“This person,” pointing to the citizen.
"Is correct. At nightfall 1 left the tav
ern and came here to call upon Miss
Dudley at her Invitation.”
Captain Wharton turned his eyes
from the Englishman to Winifred, then
bnek to Wharton.
"Who are you. sir?” be asked.
“Captain John Armitage of the Brit
ish army."
“Ajid in our lines in citizen's clothes!"
“Miss Dudley will hear me out that
I came upon her Invitation.’'
"For what purpose?” asked the citi
zen.
“That does not concern you. 1 did
not come for military Information."
"Y’ou need not remain here any long
er, 1 ’ said Captain Wharton to the
searching party. "1 will be responsi
ble for tills gentleman.”
This order, coming from an oflicer.
was enough for those to whom it was
addressed and was obeyed. When, the
men were gone Wharton said:
"Would that 1 could conscientiously
let this matter drop here! My duty
as a soldier and to my country com
pels me to act. I must report your
presence here. Captain Armitage. to
our commander, if you are not here
ns a spy you have nothing to fear. I
deem it best for your interest that I
report the matter privately to General
Washington. Give me your parole tlinl
you will remain here till you hear from
me.”
“It is given wilh thanks."
While this scene was being enacted
Winifred, terror stricken for her lover,
was crouching beside him. Wharton,
with a bow to lier. turned, and in an
other moment they heard him mount
and ride away.
It was uot long before an orderly
rode up to the house and delivered an
order for .John Armitage and Winifred
Dudley to proceed to headquarters.
Winifred, having protected herself
against the cold, with her lover de
scended the side of the hill on which
Morristown is built, then ascended the
slope tbnt led to General Washington’s
headquarters. They were conducted
into his private office in rear of the
building. Tlte generul rose to receive
them, then closed the door, shutting
out all but himself and them.
"I understand, sir,” ho said to Arm!-
tage. "that .von have admitted that
you are a captain In the British army.
You are within our lines in citizen’s
apparel. Will you inform me, sir. why
1 should not order a court martial to
try you on the charge of being a spy?'
"1 can only assure you. generul,
that I came here In reply to a written
request from Miss Dudley. When I
received it 1 had no knowledge what
was her motive in asking me to come"
"But you know now?”
"I do.”
The general thought a few moments,
then said. "It is imperative that I have
an explanation for your being here
otherwise I roust treat you as a spy.
During this brief dialogue Winifred’s
feelings were pent up nnd now burst
forth.
“General.” she cried in agony, “I am
the spy. There is another matter be
tween me and Captain Armitage than
conveying information to the British
but this was not my reul reason for
summoning him. i have been taking
note of the troops gathered here and
other matters pertaining to your army
and sent for Captain Armitage to come
and curry the information to General
Howe. But lest my letter Hhould be
intercepted I told him that my fattier
was trying to persuade me to marry a
rival—oue of your officers. Captain
Armltnge had no knowledge whatever
that 1 had any other motive for sum
moiling him. I have forfeited ray life.
Execute me for a spy. No trial is need
ed: here is the evidence.”
She handed General Washington the
notes she bad made and which she bud
intended to send h.v Captain Armitage
to General Howe. He scanned them
then looked up at the couple in mute
surprise. After deliberation be said:
"Captain Armitage. you cannot be
convicted on this the only evidence 1
have in your case. Had you been
caught with this information on you
nothing could have saved you. But
this lady has been convicted by her
own confession and must suffer the
penalty.”
"Oh. general!" exclaimed Armitage
imploringly. •
"If Miss Dudley were a man.” pur
sued the general, "it would be my duty
to order a court martial, wbicb would
undoubtedly convict ber. Since she is
a woman i shall place her beyond out
lines. where she can do no harm "
"But. general.” cried Armitage.
"what can she. a woman, do without
your lines?”
“Blie can go with you.’’
"Her reputation”—
"Need not stitTer.”
"How so?”
"Orderly!" cried the general, opening
the door. A soldier appeared, and tlie
generul directed him to go for a chap
lain. When that person appeared he
was directed to marry the couple. Aft
er the ceremony the generul ended for
an officer of his staff, to whom he said:
"Put these two licrond our lines and
see that they do no! get back here.”
BRAWNY NORWEGIANS.
They Are the Longest Lived People In
the World Today.
The fine stature and unique physical
qualities of the athletic Norsemen are
thus described by Price Comer In an
article on “Norway and the Norwe
gians, From an American Point of
View,” In Scribner's Magazine:
“The so ciilied bouder. or agricul
tural peasantry, form the very back
bone of the tuition lu Norway. Each Is
proprietor of Ids own farm, and they
occupy the country from the shore ot
the sen to the foot of the hills and up
every glen or valley us tar ns corn will
grow. They are. as a rule, fine looking,
athletic men. as tbelr properties are uot
bo large as to exempt them from work,
but lnrge enough to supply them and
tbelr families with wholesome food. In
the old days they built their own
houses, made their own furniture,
plows, carts, harness, Ironwork, wood
work and basket work. Probably there
are no communities anywhere else in
the world bo self efficient so Independ
ent and so comfortable.
“indeed, their size nnd wholesome
aspect prove tills, fur they are tbu fair
est, tallest, hroiideBt chested nnd long
est lived people In the world todny.
“In the streets of the towns, nt the
farms, on tlie roads, one seldom sees a
fnt mnn or one who looks unwieldy.
They nre sturdily, somndr.it-s heavily,
built but they are lean in the flank,
broad of shoulder and thick through,
nnd, though they do uot alwnys carry
themselves lightly . gracefully, they
look to have pleo.y u. room for the
working machinery of living, for hean
nnd lungs and digestive apparatus.
Wherever you go in Norway, from
Cbristlunsand lo the North cape, you
cannot go far without going up and
down hill, nor can you go far without
inhaling the chntnpngne-llke mountain
air. It is not Impossible thnt the plain
food—a necessity In a poor country—
the physical training in the schools, the
obligatory military trninlng, the sen
slble temperance legislation, the up and
down hill exercise, the almost entire
hick of luxury and the fact that they
nre not hard workers—not lazy, per
haps, tint certainly leisurely in their
toil, seldom making any undue demand
upon their nervous energy—have pro
duced what no artificial legislation can
copy.”
Napoleon and RouMeau.
Napoleon ou visiting the tomb ot
Rousseau said.
"It would have been better for (he
repose of France that this man had
never been horn.'
"Why so. Citizen Consul?"
“It Is he who prepared the French
revolution"
"1 should have thought. Citizen Con
sul. that it was not for yon to compluln
of the revolution."
"Well.” replied Napoleon, "the future
will discover whether If was not better
