POWDER AT A PRAYER MEETINC. \* One of Lincoln’s Anecdotes Recounted by General Horace Porter. The folloVing anecdote of Lincoln Is recounted by General Horace Porter in his "Campaigning with Grant” in the “Century.” It was told during Lincoln’s visit to the front at City Point: , In the course of the conversation that evening he spoke of the improve¬ ment In arms and ammunition, and of the new powder prepared for the fif¬ teen-inch guns. He said he had never seen the latter article, but he under¬ stood it differed very much from any other powder that had ever been used. I told him that I happened to have in my tent a specimen which had been cent to headquarters as a curiosity, and that 1 would bring it to him. When 1 returned about the with size of a grain walnut, of the he took powder It, j a , turned ft over in his hand, and after i examining it carefully, said: "Well. It's rather larger than the powder we j used to buy in my shooting days. It ! reminds me of what occurred once in | a country meeting-house in Sangamon County. You see, there were very j few newspapers then, and Ihe country storekeepers had to resort to some other means of advertising their war’’ ! to tetotfto comlnVto'a prayer meet teg of an evening, the shopkeepers would often put in the time while the people were waiting by notifying them of goods. “One evening a man rose up and said: ’Brethren, let me take occasion to say, -fthllo were a-wallln h.it I have jest received a new in vice of sportin' powder. The grains are so small you ktn scarcely see em with the naked eye. and polished up so fine you kin stand up and comb ycr ha r n\ front of one o’ them grains jest llko It was a lookin'-glass. Hope you’ll come down to my store at the cross reads and examine that powder for your- 6elves.’ "When we had got about this far a rival powder-merchant in the meeting, •who had been boiling over with Indlg- nation at the amount of advertising the opposition powder was getting, jump¬ ed up and cried out: ‘Brethren, I hope you'll not believe a single word Broth- er Jones has been sayin’ about that powder. I’ve been down thar and seen It for myself, and i pledge you my word that the grains is bigger than the lumps in a ooal-ptle; and any one of you brethren, of you was to your ftl- ture state, could put a bar’l o’ that powder on your shoulder and march squar’ through the aulphurlous (lames surroundin’ you without the least dan¬ ger of an explosion.’ ” Her One Fault.

Pertinent Questions. •r Why Will a Woman Throw Away Her Good x Looks and Comfort? . Why will a woman drag out a sickly, half-hearted existence and miss three-quarters of the ; " joy of living, when she has health almost within her grasp ? If she does not value her good looks, does she not value her comfort ? i fe^~ Why, my sister, will you suf¬ fer that dull pain in the small of your back, those bearing-down, = °* > dragging sensations in the loins, that terrible fullness in the lower bowel, caused by constipation pro¬ ceeding from the womb lying over and pressing on the rectum ? Do you know that these are signs of displacement, and that you will never be well while that lasts ? * What a woman needs who is thus af¬ fected is to strengthen the ligaments so they will keep her organs in place. There is nothing better for this purpose than Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable Com¬ pound. The great volume of testimony which is constantly rolling in, proves that the Compound is constantly’ curing thousands of just such cases. The following letter from Mrs. Marlow is only one of many thousands which Mrs. Pinkham has received this year from those she has relieved—surely such testimony is convincing: n “My trouble commenced after the birth of my last child. I did not know what was the matter with me. My husband went to our family physi¬ cian and described my symptoms, and he. said I had displaceic'yt and falling of the womb. lie sent me some medicine, but it did little good. I let it go on about two years, and every time I did any hard work my womb would come down. Finally a lady friend advised me to try Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did. The first bottle helped me so much, I con¬ tinued to take it right along. My back was almost the same as no back. I could not lift scarcely any weight. My life was just a drag to me. To-day I am well of my womb trouble, and have a good, strong back, thanks to Mrs. I’inkham’s Vegetable Compound.”—Mss. L.
