Show Mrs. D. Arnold, President German Woman's Club, Grand Pacific Hotel, Los Angeles, Cal., Relieved of a Tumor by Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound. " Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I suffered four years ago with a tumor in my womb, and the doctors declared I must go to the hospital and undergo un-dergo an operation, which I dreaded very much and hesitated to submit. "My husband consulted an old friend who had studied medicine, although he was not a practising physician, and he said he believed that Lydia E. IMnkham's Vegetable Compound would cure me. That same day I took my first dose, and I kept it up faithfully until twelve bottles had been used, and not only did the tumor disappear, dis-appear, but my general health was very much improved and I had not felt so well since I was a young woman. . " As I have suffered no relapse since, and as I took no other medicine, med-icine, I am sure that your Compound restored my health and I believe saved my life." Mrs. D. Arnold. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUDTE.

Dressed in his only suit of navy blue. Old Weak-Eyed Jones sat uncomfortably uncomfort-ably on one of the backless benches in front of the speakers stand. The post adjutant was reading the post orders. The boys in blue, scattered hither and thither, bent an attentive ear and held their yellow-corded hats to one side to shade their fading eyesight from the waning sun. Far away under the trees of the park lounged hundreds of people. Polite attention prevailed among those within with-in hearing distance; farther away th'e hum of voices and shouts of unsup-pressed unsup-pressed laughter arose on the air in unmistakable volume. This was sacrilege sac-rilege to the ear3 of Weak-Eyed Jones. To him no event was more solemn than the present, and it seemed the same dignity and reverence he felt should actuate the conduct of others. The air was suffocating. Early in "' Old Weak-Eyed Jones sat on one of the backless benches in front of the speaker's stand. the day the heated atmosphere had become be-come saturated with clouds of choking dust, which rolled into the city behind hundreds of incoming farmers' conveyances. con-veyances. But Weak-Eyed Jones took it all with a generous degree of humility hu-mility and uncomplaining. A young couple at his elbow indulged so busily in-conversation he could not hear the voice of the adjutant, yet he bore it silently. Even though his obscure sight, years before made almost useless use-less by a rebel minie ball, which carried car-ried away the bridge of his nose and grazed both eyes, was powerless to penetrate the dust-heavy distance between be-tween him and the speaker he was secretly se-cretly happy. f , His meditations were cut short by a sudden commotion at his elbow. People Peo-ple were hurrying from their sest3; the program must be over. He was parried along with the rest, -towards jthe speakers' stand,, but he hadn't gone far when he noticed some one trying to speak. Above the noise ' he just caught the last phrase: "Will close with a selection by the young ladies quartette." ! Then it wasn't over yet! There was to be one more number! He tried to be seated, but a buxom country woman Jostled hard against him, nearly sending send-ing him off his rheumatic legs. The quartette commenced to sing, but their voices were drowned in the tumult of confusion. Presently a drum corps somewhere out in the street struck up "Marching Through Georgia" the line com menced to form. Hurried along with the throng, Weak-Eyed Jones took up a marching position with others of his blue-coated comrades. The heat was still more stifling here, as they stood waiting for what seemed like hours. Presently Weak-Eyed began to grow faint. The morning had found him physically ' indisposed, but never yet having missed meeting with his soldier sol-dier comrades on the thirtieth of May, he didn't propose to to-day. It might be the last time probably It would but he'd gc this once! The band up the street struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner" he was conscious of the column moving- He had stood still so long his legs were almost stiff and action made him stagger, stag-ger, but with the use of his cane he maintained his balance and managed In Illinois Schools. Teachers and school children of Illinois, through a pamphlet issued by the department of public instruction, were reminded of the approach of Memorial day, and urged to enjoin Its general observance by the common schools. The title page of the pam phlet represented a soldier of the civil war and his wife gazing fondly and proudly at the portrait of their son, who Is a soldier of to-day. Under the picture is the sword which the father wielded in the conflict- forty years ago. In his plea to the teachers Superintendent Su-perintendent Bayliss said: : "Np : set program is suggested. 'Whenever practicable, of course, the usual invitation will be extended to a member of the Grand Army of the Republic Re-public to talk to the children for a few minutes, especially if one Is known who will relate to them some incident of the war which was part of his own personal experience. The general inspiration may be found in these lines: " 'In the record of thy years Abraham Lincoln's name appears; -t-WT fu iw ... i i mi US 9. -tlT girl should know never blossoms ' grow, some flowers sne d Ia7 Decoration day.

The ovation continued with increased increas-ed enthusiasm as they passed up the street. Someone tried to retaliate with a "Hurrah for the boys of '61!',' but the voice was lost in the lusty tide of cheering for '.'The boys of "98!" Following the squad of soldiers came a bicycle brigade, men on horseback, and, lastly, wagon loads of flower girls dressed in white wagons for strong, healthy girls, while decrepit old veterans must go afoot. As the long line rounded a corner and passed from the boulevard into an east and west thoroughfare, Weak-Eyed Weak-Eyed Jones tottered. - Bravely he pulled pull-ed his remaining strength together and ambled on, his faltering footsteps unable to beat" time to the rapid music. mu-sic. Many of his comrades, too, , had long since forgotten how to march. And how few they numbered new these veterans! Mount Zion cemetery was a beautiful beauti-ful spot lifted above woods and sky just beyond where the lake nestled quietly between two hillsides the valley, val-ley, with its ribbon of a rivulet, winding wind-ing verdure-laden at its woody base, the azure heavens outlining Its great white gates, ' its marble monuments, its flowering shrubbery, its trees of green, with rare exactness beyond. Weak-Eyed Jones raised his eyes to the bill yet in the distance. He could see but the outline of the hallowed spot rising against the lurid sky. His spirit was awed! The heavy march was telling on his weakened body, his steps were getting more and more uncertain. un-certain. A momentary dizziness came over him. "Hark!" Suddenly the musjc of the fifes and drums floated to his ears with a strangely familiar sound. It took him back to the front again, back to the days of '63! Once more he was a youth strong, vigorous, in arms! And could this, then, be Thomas' brigade? bri-gade? and yonder yonder hill Missionary Mis-sionary Ridge where, proudly drawn in battle array, the Confederate legions awaited them calmly with a welcome of leaden death? And whence all this rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub-dub, that fired the very blood within the veins? Ah! Foolish question! Why ask when there was Soffels, the drummer boy? Nobody but Soffels could drum like that! Soffels Sof-fels was the only one who could make his drum "talk" in accents so clear and true now gay, gay as the morning morn-ing sunlight; now sad sad as the hour of death, as he turned the tide of battle into victory or defeat! "Take the rifle-pits at the base, then halt and reform!" Weak-Eyed Jones heard the order as clear as on the day It fired the souls of thousands of Union soldiers to battle and to victory. vic-tory. The march of many feet was heard; the glint of polished bayonets seen. The stars and stripes stood Grant and Logan and our tears, " Illinois!' "The recorded words of these tnree great men are part of the history of the country which ic is our paramount duty to teach the children In the common com-mon schools to- love, and train them to serve with honor. The pamphlet contains a number of the greater speeches of Lincoln, Grant and Logan, together with a selection se-lection of appropriate quotations. The Soldiers of '98. For the fourth time since the war with Spain our duty to our illustrious dead, has called on us to assemble or Memorial day and to pay just tribute to the memories of thosewho marched shoulder to shoulder in 98 and who now rest in peace in the silent homes of the dead.

Then, when the Mrst volley had been met and passed, Kiej were over the breastworks at,d mpoi the foe. He felt an absence abo at Mm then. He looked for Billy. Biily was gone! A bullet had carried him owd at the first onslaught, he conduced. con-duced. Then he" saw the men in the trenches waver for a moment, club rlje; t muskets for a last feeble stand. Thi t was all; then they fled. The Federal Fed-eral troops, forgetting their orders In the snthusiasnr of the moment, were as aulckly over the ramparts . and raltfr them through woods, over logs. pa&t gulches, and into the face of a muj-derous musketry from above! Presently Weak-Eyed reeled and fell from the marching column, striking strik-ing his head as he fell. Grasping a shade tree by the side of the thoroughfare thor-oughfare he slowly raised himself to his knees. Had he, too, been struck by a flying bullet? He put his hand to his head. Tes, there was blood! and the bridge of his nose was gone! But he forgot th"e pain momentarily as he heard th order: ""Charge tbo crest of the hill!" pass from mouth to mouth as it came from Grant. His ulses leapt. His blood fairly bounded the words. He tried to rise and ey, but he could neither see nor alk. -"Hurrah fer th' stars an' stripes!" he shouted in the exultation of the moment, but the effort cost him throbs ef pain. A vehicle full of belated celebra-tionists, celebra-tionists, hurrying after the procession heard his shout, "A drunken soldier," they said. Weak-Eyed thought an ammunition wagon was hurrying to the front, " His sight cleared a little after the first daze from his fall. In the distance dis-tance he saw clouds of dust arising. Weak-Eyed Jones feebly raised himself him-self upon his elbows and peered at the blood-red sun. , "The smoke of the battle," he thought. The music was still playing, clearer and louder than ever, indicating the enthusiasm of battle. Someone approached ap-proached his side. - "Only a scrape comrade!" he said. "Never mind me I'll be all right soon. There's work fer you up there!" He Indicated the hill with a wave of his hand. - - . , "I tell you he's not drunk; he's sick." The man at his side addressed some one near at hand. ' In pity they tried to raise him to -his feet. Hl3 legs would not support him; he collapsed again at the foot of the tree. A roll of drums floated across the valley and into the old man's ears. "Hark!" he exclaimed, raising himself him-self with heroic effort. - "I hear th' sound o' vict'ry!" Volleys of musketry musket-ry rang out on the air. "Give it to 'em boys!" he added. "Chances are against him," a voice was heard to remark nearby. "He must be taken to a physician." "Aw! He's only had a drop too much t' drink, I tell you," some one answered. an-swered. Weak-Eyed didn't hear; his whole mind, his whole being was centered In another direction." Back of Mt. Zion's crest the sun began to set, and, pres- PEACE! Spanish War Veterans. The Grand Army of the Republic. rwlth stately tread and martial mein. and to the music of the fife and drum, has visited the last resting place of the heroes of '61 and '65, and placed garlands of flowers and the colors of our American republic upon the graves of their revered comrades. The different camps of the legion of Spanish Span-ish war veterans followed the patriotic patriot-ic 'example and the glorious teachings teach-ings of the soldier and sailor boys of the war of the rebellion and visited the cemeteries of their beloved dead and with uncovered heads and reverential rever-ential awe placed upon the Spanish-American Spanish-American war veterans' graves a token tok-en rof tender remembrance and the starry flag of red, white and blue. The need of the country found the youth of 98 as ready to respond as were their noble fathers at the call of Abraham Lincoln. All Alike Remembered. i The monument over the graves of the.

The procession meantime wended down the hill again. The first columns swept past where Weak-Eyed Jones was prone upon the grass. Some one stepped out to hail some passing vehicle. . The mayor's carriage aproached. "A jolly old drunk, there!" the occupants remarked, remark-ed, then bowled away up the street and out of hearing. Another carriage swept past without a heed, a load of flower girls drew near. The driver was beckoned to halt, but his attention atten-tion was centered upon his screaming, laughing passengers. "The sun was now almost set. . Presently Weak-Eyed Jones feebly raised himself upon his emaciated elbows, peered with all the power he could muster through his almost sightless sight-less orbs in thejiirection of the blood-red blood-red sun and moved his lips to speak: "Yes they're waitin' fer me, Billy. Bil-ly. I wish you was a-goin too!" he said. Later, when strange hands gathered from the wayside all that was mortal of the dauntless soldier, a withered spray of honeysuckle slipped unheeded unheed-ed from his nerveless grasp. In the meantime the city had resumed the noisy tenor of its way, and . Memorial day and its meaning had all but become be-come forgotten. Battle Ground Made Sacred. Old soldiers on Memerla. day live again in the memories of the past. The fierce battles and weary marches are looked back to with pride. . Of the sanguinary day at Gettysburg an eastern writer says: "Reader, when you visit the field of the first day's fight, and you walk past the spot where Reynolds fell, and enter the woods where every gnarled tree Is torn by shot and shell, you will see a line of monuments crossing your patn. Pause when you reach them, stand for a time by the stone that marks the. center of the Twenty-fourth Michigan Regiment and recall the day of the battle. You will ihen be standing near the center of the Iron Brigade. On the right of that organization was the brigade of Roy Stone, and on the left that of Col. Chapman Biddle. Walk the line of these brigades from right to left ah, yes, you may walk the line of the whole First Corps and you cannot step without treading upon ground every inch of which was saturated and made sacred by the blood of heroes." Honor the Living. Persons of middle age who but dimly dim-ly remember the closing days of the awful struggle and the scenes of joy that followed -the return of the soldiers sol-diers to - their homes, participate in the ceremonies of the day with feelings feel-ings of reverence, and the children with almost a sense of awe. Reverently Rever-ently and gratefully we remember the services of those who fought and suffered suf-fered for the union. We can but strew with fragrant flowers the graves of the dead; we should with fragrant deeds remember the living. Not long are they to be with us. More graves call for tribute each year. Let us do the living honor while we may. Remember- the Sailors. A worthy custom of Memorial day exercises is the strewing of flowers on the waters in memory of the sailors sail-ors of the civil war who perished in the mighty conflict. And surely worthy of honor are the men who fought with Farragut and our other great naval leaders. In the exercises of the day they should never be forgotten. ory of the soldiers who died in prison in that city, is each year remembered, remem-bered, and floral emblems bedeck the shaft that marks the resting place of one-time enemies. Nor is it only the ex-Confederate veterans who render this tribute. Those who " visit the beautiful city of the dead' in loving memory-to decorate the graves of their kin are careful to save flowers to honor those who gave their lives for the Stars and Bars, as well . as those who triumphed under the Stars and Stripes. One great and united nation again! Patriotism .in Young Hearts. The statues of . the great soldiers and statesmen who bore tae brunt of tne tribulations of those awful lour years of warfare- are hung with garlands gar-lands to-day.-a.nd their deeds are retold re-told In accents of pride and love by those who participated with them In the toil and success. Let the children lay their offerings "on these tokens or a nation's gratitude. Patriotism will spring anew in each youthful breast as the tribute of loe is paid. UNIQUE HOTEL ON LONG ISLAND Hulk of BJstorle Frigate How Serv. s as Quaint Tavern. - Only a few' steps trom the sandy shore where the claim digger pursues his vocation, and In" the, loneliest part of City Island, Long island, stands the Macedonian HoteL When the wreck of the famous British frigate and Drison ship Macedonia was bleaching fier hulk on the shore of Hart's island, isl-and, directly across the water from City Island, a native conceived the Idea of putting the solid and age protected pro-tected timbers to good use, says the New York Herald. With boats and assistants he made many trips to the old hulk, gathering the . timbers and towing them to the beach in front, of a piece of property which he owned close beside the shore. From the wreckage he erected what has ever since been known as the Macedonian Hotel, and on its side are Inscribed these words, which tell of the history of the famous old house: "This house is the remains of the English frigate Macedonia, captured on Sunday, OcL 25, 1812, by the United States frigate United States, commanded com-manded by CapL Stephen Decatur, U. S. N. "This action was fought in lat. 24 deg. north. Ion. 20 deg. 30 rnin. west. That is about 600 miles northwest of the Cape de Verde Islands, off the west coast of Africa, and towed to Cow bay in 1874." "- The main room, used as a bar, on the first, floor, is framed of the heaviest heav-iest timbers from the old ship. To many of them are still fastened the old hooks to which the sailors of the British fighting ship hung their hammocks. ham-mocks. An old cupboard from the galley gal-ley of the ship serves as a bar, and the cabin used by the petty officers is used as the place wherein mine host of the Macedonian keeps his stock of ripe old liquor fur dispensation among his customers and the clam diggers who work along the beach in his neighborhood. On the second . floor is a "music room" that .is none other than the main cabin of the Macedonia. Ia removing re-moving the lumber from the ship those who did the work took pains to preserve pre-serve each piece and place it in its proper place in the Macedonian Hotel. The old 18x24-inch barred windows on the man-of-war were carefully preserved, pre-served, and these now let in the light to the music room of this unique hotel. WHAT THE FATHERLAND HAD LC S f Good Sense and Patriotism Evinced by Prince Henry. Stories follow thickly in the wake of the visiting prince. - During his tour of the steerage aboard the Kronprinz Wilhelm his royal highness accosted a man sitting oh the floor, propped against a water butt. The German nationality of the man was stamped upon him in .plain characters, but he was not one ofthose sunny good fellows fel-lows of whom the prince seems to be a type. "Why have you left the Vaterland?" asked the prince his customary query. The old man- raised his massive head and glanced at the prince with no softening of , his unhappy countenance. counte-nance. "I left there because I am a free .man to do as I choose," he said with surliness. Then he glanced significantly sig-nificantly at his meager belongings, and added sneeringly: "The Vaterland. Vater-land. has not lost much!" The prince flushed. No country can afford to lose a .man who is con scious of his freedom," he said quickly, quick-ly, and passed on. New York Times. GORGEOUS EASTER POMP IN ROME Place Where th Festival Ia Seen In Its Greatest Brilliancy. Rome is the place in which to see Easter celebrated with great pomp and brilliancy. At dawn of day the great cannon at the castle of St. An-gelo An-gelo is fired, and on this day the pope officiates in mass at St. Peter's. .The pope Is borne from the Vatican in his magnificent vestments. On his head is his tiara, which is a very high, round cap of cloth-of-gold, surmounted surmount-ed by a triple crown. Above him Is borne a canopy of silk with long gold fringe and beside him are carried the flabelli, which are great fans of ostrich os-trich feathers in which are set the eye-like parts of peacock feathers, which are supposed to signify the eyes of watchfulness of the church. The mass Is celebrated with the greatest solemnity, and at its close the pope is carried from the great altar to the balcony bal-cony over the central doorway, and here he pronounces the benediction The scene Is one of great impressive-ness impressive-ness and splendor, and it is one of the greatest days of the year in Rome. Leslie's Weekly. The Value of Tapestries. . When Virginia Btmynge of San Francisco married the discount Deer-hurst, Deer-hurst, Lord Coventry's son and heir, she brought her husband a dowry which was supposed to be large enough to "polish up the handle on the big front door" of Conome Court, the family seat, and set the house of Coventry Cov-entry on its financial legs. But It seems that the American lady is not to enjoy all the splendors of that ancient an-cient castle, for the celebrated Coven try tapestries have just been sold to a French collector for $250,000. The countess business is avmost expensive one, especially for American girls, and probably the -money was needed. The tapestries were Gobelins, and among the finest, of their kind In existence, The market price of tapestries is at present unusually high, and persons of moderate means who '-contemplate laying lay-ing In their summer supply had better wait until the quotations assume a more "bearish" tendency.
