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. Women Have Been Telling Women for forty years how Lydia E.

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 for the repose of the world that neither Rousseau nor I had ever been bom.” In -these words we hear t.be first clar ion of advancing Imperialism.—“The I'ersonnllty of Napoleon," J.
