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. Professional Cards. DR. SAM BRADSHAW OSTEOPATH SfWi-307 Atlanta National Bank Building:. At lanta, Ga.

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. da of 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 found in certain forest regions of South America known as the curas- sow, although sometimes called tho South American turkey, iu reality be longs to a different family, and scien tists bold that any real turkeys found in that continent are immigrants. In tho United States six standard varieties of the domesticated turkey nro recognized and grown. These nro the Bronze, Nnrragnnsett, Buff, Slate, White and the lilaek. Tho differences are chiefly in size and coloring.—Kx change. CULLODEN MOOR. The Last Bnttlo Fought on tho Soil of Groat Britain.
