MRS. LYON'S
AGHESAND PAINS
Have All Gone Since Taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound.
Terre Hill, Pa.—“Kindly permit me
to give you my testimonial in favor of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. When I first
began taking it 1
was suffering from
female troubles for
some time and had
almost all kinds of
aches—pains in low
er part of back and
in sides, and press
ing down pains. I
could not sleep and
had no appetite. Since I have taken
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound the aches and pains are all gone
and I feel like a new woman. I cannot
praise your medicine too highly.”—Mrs.
AUGUSTUS Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman’s
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman’s ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for ‘their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman’s ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health — many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

The map of that part of Europe in
which began the great European war
has been changing ever since it was
a part of ancient Gaul. Centuries ago
there was a kingdom composed large
ly of what Is now Flanders. The capi
tal was probably Ghent, though the
time of my story is so remote that one
cannot be sure about this. The coun
try was then governed by a queen
who had tlio same name as the present
ruler of Holland—'Wilhelmina.
One day a farmer living on the out
skirts of the capital said to his son,
a strapping young man just come of
age:
"Hans, I wish you to take into town
a cartload of flowers. 1 leiurti that to
morrow is the queen’s birthday, and
there will be a great demand for the
flowers on tlie part of courtiers to be
stow upon her majesty. I hear she is
both young and beautiful and that she
will take a husband from one of her
own subjects. Therefore many gal
lants will wish to bestow gifts upon
her, and there is no gift that will so
touch a woman's heart as flowers.”
Hans obeyed ids father. Going out
to the barn, lie harnessed a mule to a
cart and then drove it into the garden.
It was tlie month of June, and there
were many roses in bud and in bloom.
Ilans loved tlie roses better than any
other (lower and put so many in the
cart that there was no room for any
other flowers. However, he knew that
roses brought tlie best price, so lie
concluded to leave tlie load as it was.
Then going to bis room he put on the
clothes be usually wore to tlie city, a
doublet of dark blue and hose to
match. Then girding on bis sword—
every one wore a sword in those days
—he mounted bis cart and drove tlie
mule toward tlie capital.
Hans had no sooner reached the
outskirts of the city than he met a
young man in a very brilliant costume
and with feathers in his hat and other
marks of being a noble. Seeing tlie
roses in the cart, bis eyes lighted with
pleasure.
“How much for your roses?” he ask
ed Hans.
“They are not for sale at present.”
replied the countryman, "if they are
wanted here they will bring a better
price when i approach the palace, for
this is tlie queen's birthday, and there
will be many gallants wanting flowers
for gifts to her majesty.”
The man abused flans for a country
bumpkin, but Ilans drove on. paying
no attention to him. Hans was stop
ped many times by courtiers, some
times men. sometimes women, and re
ceived many offers for his load, but be
drove on. always saying. “If you are
willing to give so much here what will
I be offered when I reach the market
place in the center of the city?”
Finally ho stopped his mule at the
palace gates and was about to drive
into the courtyard when he was stop
ped by a sentry.
“I have a gift for her majesty Queen
Wilhelmina," said Hans. “Let me
pass.”
The chamberlain happened to be
looking out of a window at the time
and, seeing a cartload of roses below,
bethought himself that there was a
fine opportunity to buy flowers with
which to decorate the throne room, in
which his royal mistress would that
day receive her birthday congratula
tions. Running down and out, he said
to Hans:
“How much for your roses, my
man?”
“They are not for sale.”
“But you must sell them. I wish to
buy them for tlie queen. I will give
you a thousand florins for them.”
“I intend them for a birthday gift
to her majesty.”
The chamberlain looked at Hans as
if he thought him daft.
“Come, come,” he said coaxingly.
“Don't be a fool. The queen will not
accept a gift from such ns you. But
she must have your roses. So many
nro not to be had elsewhere. Drive
them into the courtyard, and 1 will
pay you.”
“I will drive them into the courtyard,
but only as a gift for her majesty,”
replied Ilans.
“We will see about that,” cried the
chamberlain angrily, and, taking the
mule by the bridle, he led him through
the gateway into the court and stop
ped before a door of the palace. Then
he went inside to summon servants to
carry in the roses -while he obtained
the money to pay for them. He return
ed, leading half a dozen lackeys with
baskets, and he held in his hands a
bag containing a thousand florins. He
found Hans standing before his cart
with folded arms.
“Get out of my way,” said the cham
berlain.
"If you touch one of the flowers,”
said Hans, drawing his sword. “I will
make a hole in you.”
"Treason!” cried the chamberlain.
“Guards!"
A dozen soldiers came running to the
scene. The queen, hearing the words
"Treason!” and "Guards!* and fearing
a plot or a revolution, put her head out
through an upper window and asked to
know whut was the matter.
“This countryman,” said the cham
berlain, "refuses to sell his roses, which
1 wish to decorate the throne room foi
your majesty's reception today.”
"Perhaps you have not offered him
enough for them." said the queen.
"1 have offered him a thousand
florins."
"That surely should he sulHcieut.
Why will you not sell tne your roses,
my good man?"
“Because 1 have brouglii them for
it birthday gift for your majesty.”
"A birthday gift!" exclaimed the
queen, surprised.
"I have told him,” put In the cham
berlain. "that your majesty would not
accept a gift from such as lie.”
The queen looked down ou tlie scene
below for a few moments without
speaking. "The fellow.” she said to
herself, "has some boon which ho
wishes in return for his gift." Aloud
she said:
“1 will accept your roses. Is there
anything 1 can do for you to show my
appreciation for your offering?”
"None, your majesty."
The queen was taken aback at this,
but since she bad given her royal ac
ceptance of tlie gift she could not take
it back. So she thanked Tlaus. and
the lackeys carried in the re os, and
Hans drove away, the court ers and
others who had collected laughing iu
their sleeves at him.
Ilans drove back to the farm, where
his father, seeing the enrt empty, ask
ed him how much ho had received for
the roses.
"Nothing,” Hans replied, "I present
ed them to the queen for a birthday
gift.”
Ilans told his father what had oc
curred. The old man was much pleased
until his son told him that when the
queen asked him what she eouhl do for
him he hud said "nothing." Then the
father abused him for a fool. But
Hans replied that if showing one’s loy
alty to one's sovereign were being a
fool (ben lie was glad to be one.
Queen Wilhelmina waited a month
before taking any further action iu the
matter of her gift of roses, then made
inquiries as to whether Ilans had sent
in any request for a favor of any kind.
When site was (old t hat lie hud not she
thought a great deal about Hans and
what she should do in the matter. She
considered it beneath tlie dignity of a
queen to accept a gift from a sub
ject, certainly not one of lowly origin.
She sent for him. and when be appear
ed she said to 1dm:
“1 have need for your services. I
am going to try you in the diplomatic
service. There is a boundary dispute
between me and King Carl, whose do
minions adjoin mine on the east. My
prime minister will instruct you ns to
tlie matter, after which I wish you to
proceed to King Carl and make as
good a settlement us yon can."
"But, your majesty," Hans stammer
ed, "1 am but a countryman, unskill
ed in"—
“Something tells me," tlie queen in
terrupted, "(bat what others have
learned by study and experience you
know intuitively. This is not a re
quest, but a command. Go and on
your return report to mo what you
have done. My chamberlain will pro
vide you wilh the necessary funds.”
Ilans after acquainting himself witli
the case he was to handle, dressed In
proper apparel, went at tlie head of an
embassy to King Carl, and,"being clos
eted with him, the king steeled him
self against tlie ambassador as bo lmd
against others. But Ilans began at
once to gain ids confidence. He learn
ed from the king on wlmt lie had set
his heart and relinquished all claim to
it. 'This enabled him to get whut the
queen wanted. The result was that
he made a very satisfactory agree
ment. When lie returned and reported
what ho had done tlie queen was very
much pleased. She created him a
noble and placed him at the head of all
her diplomats.
Ilans, after acquainting himself with
sent his father a thousand florins, the
amount lie had been offered for the
roses, and the old man, who had heard
of his son's preferment, about which
every one was talking, wondered iiow
such a fool had been able to achieve
such honors so far beyiud his station.
Ilans grew continually In influence.
Those were warlike times, and ambas
sadors had tried to gain their ends by
threatening war, and if they did not
try threats they resorted to chicanery.
Hans’ plan was always the one he had
tried with King Carl. He sought to
discover what was for the best inter
ests of Doth parties and when he had
done so to convince the sovereign with
whom he dealt of the fact. In this way
he achieved a reputation for statecraft
which was really nothing hut common
sense and a liberality which in the end
resulted in his sovereign’s profit.
One day Queen \Vilhelmina asked
Hans whut she could do for him be
yond what she had done to repay him
for the valuable services he had ren
dered her in preventing war.
"Permit me," replied Hans, “on your
next birthday to send you a cartload of
roses.”
When Queen Wilhelmina was as
sured that Mans would name no other
favor she granted it, and on tlie anni-
versury of the day that he laid made
the llrst gift he made another, only
this time the cart was driven by one
of Ids servants When Hans went to
the palace to offer Ids congratulations,
instead, ns before, of being informed by
the chamberlain that tlie queen would
not aceefit a gift from such as he. that
functionary announced to dim that In
majesty had decided that u proposition
of marriage from him would be agree
able to her.
There was much debate among the
queen’s subjects who knew the story
of Mans' birthday gift whether he
made It simply us an act of homage
to u sovereign or whether he aspired
to her heart and hand. But no one
except Hans knew that, and he never
told '
OUR WILD TURKEY.

It Was the Progenitor of All Kind
Turkey the World Over.
Among the aboriginal inhabitants of
America the turkey was a favorite
fowl, it hinl its habitat over all that
section where grew its favorite food,
Indian corn. When Cortes in 1510
llrst reached the realm of the Aztecs,
Montezuma entertained him with roy
al splendor, and among the delicious
viands sot before the Spanish invaders
was roasted turkey, it was found that
the Aztecs had domesticated the fowl
to quite an extent mnl that It was also
plentiful in its wild state.
North of the llio Gramle the bird
was equally well known, and the ad
venturous Coronado found it among
(lie cliff dwelling Indians and other
tribes ho met on ids expedition through
what is now Texas. Arizona and Now
Mexico. The Ziint Indians scorn to
have known of the turkey for centu
ries, and some of their earliest tradi
tions deal with this interesting bird.
The wild turkey of America is with
out doubt the progenitor of nil kinds
of turkey the world over. Ornitholo
gists in general nccept the view that
nil turkeys have descended from the
three forms known today as tho North
American, the Mexican and tho Hon
duras (Ocellata) varieties. Tho bird

South America known as the curas-
sow, although sometimes called tho
South American turkey, iu reality be

in that continent are immigrants.
