Wants Other Women to Know
How She Was Fina lly
Restored to Health.
Louisiana , Mo. :— "I think a woman
naturall y dislikes to make her troubles
Known to me puouc ,
but complete restor-
ation tohealt hmeans
J
so much to me that
I cannot keep from ,
telling mine for the
sake of other suffer-
ing women.
"I had been sick
about twelve years ,
and had eleven doc-
tors. I had drag-
ging down pains ,
pains at monthly periods, bilious spells,
and was getting worse all the time. I
would hardly get over one spell when I
would be sick again. No tongue can tell
what I suffered from cramps , and at
times I could hardly walk. The doctors
said I might die at one of those times,
but I took Lydia E. Pinkham 's Vegeta-
ble Compound and got better right away.
Your valuabl e medicine is worth more
than mountains of gold to suffering wo-
men. "—M rs. Bertha Muff , 503 N. 4th
Street , Louisiana , Mo.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound, made from native roots and herbs ,
contains no narcotic or harmful drugs ,
and to-day holds the record of being the
most successful remedy for femal eillswe
know of, and thousands of voluntary
testimonials on file in the Pinkham
laboratory at Lynn,Mass., seem to prove
this fact
We challenge anyone to name eveia
one other medicine that has been
so successful in relieving woman 's
suffering as has Lydia E. Pink -
ham 's Vegetable Compound , to
t>andls snapped on his light and saw
a square room with a closed door In
the rear wall. The door must lead to
another room , and there was a wooden
bar fitted Into a socket that secur ed
It Two windows In the room were
without glass, and through them the
ra in beat relentlessly, and the roar ot
the river was very plain .
Landls saw this In one sweeping
glance before his assailant appeared
In the doorway—a tall , lean form of a
man with glaring black eyes and fierce
emlle.
"Rob inson!" yelled Landls . "You?
.Why, man. what are you doin g here ?
I was on my way to tak e the money
to you."
"I know It " laughed the other fiend-
ishly. "I know It I've tracked you
from Foxboro . I'll take the money
now—now, Landls! Hand It over or
by heaven you'll never leave this
bouse alive!"
Landls stared. "Was his friend mad ?
This Robinson was the man he was
going to serve—to lend him $10,000,
for which he had the cnsh In his pock-
ets.
"You'll get the money In proper form
In Rlverbank tomorro w morn ing, Jim ,"
he said calmly.
"I'll have It now. I shall never go
back to Rtver bank. I'm going to
South America, and Ineed It to start
afresh with. If I make a pile you'll
get It back. If I don't you won't be
bothered with me again. "
"You're craz y," said Landls , turning
to the other door. "Come with me,
Jim, and forget your worries . You've
had a lot of troubl e, and I guess you're
prett y nerv ous. Come along, and
¦walk bac k to Rlverbank" —
"Never!" yelled the crazed financier ,
leaping nt Landi s, who duck ed and
ran for the closed door.
Rob inson was upon him Instantly ,
curved his long fingers around his ben-
efactor's neck and choked him into
half consciousness. Then when Landis
sank limply to the floor , powerless tc '
check his assailan t the other 's fin gers
searched his clothin g for the $10,000In
cash.
He snatched at Landls ' leather wal-
let, and the fallen man watched him Id
helpless anger as the robber opened II
and saw the thick mass of banknotes.
Still holdin g it in his hand. Robinson
kicked Landls awa y from the closed
door, thrust up the bar , opened the
door, passed through , slammin g the
door behind him.
Landl s thought he heard Robinson
yell once after that, but the wind and
rain and ru sh of the river deadened all
other sounds .
The electric pocket lamp lay on the
floor, Its white glare lighting the bare
boards and throwin g the upper part oi
the room In deep shadow. Laudis lay
there for several hou rs before he could
arou se himself from the stupor which
hnd resulted from Robinson 's brutal at-
tack upon him.
Then the first gray light of dawn
gave him courage ' to rouse himself and
investigate. The first thing he did was
to open the closed door to find where
his assailant had fled.
As it swung Inward Landis uttered
a startled cry and stepped back.
The door opened Into empty space.
It overhung the rushing river , and the
bal cony that had once adorned that
Becond story room had fallen off no one
knew when.
Jim Robinson, his false fr iend , had
stepped through that door into eter-
nity.
Landis leaned forth , faint and sick
with apprehension.
There was no sign of Robinson , but
cau ght amon g the rocks below was
Landls' leath er wallet, containing the
little fortune.
Hours afterward , when Landl a arriv-
ed in Riverbank with a farmer 's wag-
on tow ing what was left of his little
runabout he found the little town in
an uproar of excitement
James Robinson , Its principal dti-
een, had fal len, and his dead body bad
just been washed up on the banks near
the railroad brid ge.
They said It waa a clear case of sui-
cide, bu t Landis bad seen his false
fr iend walk through the door that Bep-
arated life from death, and he knew
the truth.
WOMAN SICK
TWELVE YEARS
Fire District Meeting
The annual meeting of the Hyannis
b ire District was held at the rooms of
the Hyannis Woman 's Club on Wed-
nesday evening.
The meeting was a little late in
getting under way for the reason that
me clerk , Mr. Edward P. Maher ,
whose du ty It was to call the meeting
to order , was detained In Boston,
where he was servin g on a jur y of the
U. S. Court , and the train being late
it was nearly half pas t aeven before
the polls were opened.
On Mr. Maher's arrival the meetin g
wa s organized by the election of Hon .
Thos. H. Soule as moderator. Messrs.
W. J. Halle tt and Edward L. Cha se,
Jr., were appointed tellers , and the
polls were open to receive the ballots
i for district officers.
Although Messrs. Chas. C. Crocker
and Irving W. Cook of the Prudential
Committee had declined to be candi -
dates this year , the citizens were
anx ious for them to continue and
against their publicly expressed
wishes there were printed tickets at
the meeting bearing their names.
The tickets were in the Australian
form and contained the names of the
old board—Messrs. Crocker , Luther C.
Hallett and Cook. Also the names of
suggested candida tes, Dr. E. E. Hawe s

The old board was re-eiectea ana

Clerk and Treasurer—Edward F.
Maher.
Chief En ginee r—Irving W. Cook.
Assistant Engineers—Henry C.
Bacon, Frank Thacher, Irving W.
Cook.

"see why they didn't elect him clerk
and treasurer" also.

Air. uook made the report for the
Prudential Committee regar ding elec-
tric lighting.
At a special meeting held April 9
the Prudenti al Committee was author-
ized to issue specifications and secure
bids for electric lighting. m i
There were two bids received: ]
one from the Barnstable Electric Co. I
and one from the Buzzar ds Bay Elec- j
trie Co. The former is an offshoot of
t-e Barnstabl e Water Co., and the lat-
ter is the company that now furnishes
the district with 33 gas lights and 10
electric lights at the west en*.
In brief the Barnstabl e Electric Co's
bid was $18 per 40 candle power light
for a minimum of 60 lights.
The Buzzar ds Bay Electri c Co's
pri ce was $24 per 40 candle power
light for a minimum of 60 lights.
It was stat ed by Mr. Cook that there
were now within the district 33 gas
lights of 32 1-2 candle power each and
10 electric lights of 20 c p. For these
lights the district was paying $972 a
year. These lights are run on the
"moonlight schedule "—that is when
the moon should shine the lights are
not lichted.
He explaine d that the bids for elec-
tric* lights were based on an every
night schedule from one hoar after
sunset until one o'clock am.
Under the bid of the Barnstable
Electric Co.—the lowest bidder—the
cost of 60 lights would be $1080, or
$108 more than was now being paid for
43 lights.
Mr. Cook's report went Into details
and was listened to with interes t by
the large number present, the room
being crowde d wifh voters. - •

with the Barnstab le Electric Co. to
light the streets of the district in ac-
cordan ce with their bid submitted to
the meeting.
Mr. Dyer of the Buzzard s Bay Co.,
said he thought the voters should hear
from his compan y a supplem entar y
bid which he would like to make.
From experience in lightin g small
towns the y had adopted a scheme that
worked very well and economically
and was better ada pted to the require -
ments than any otner to thei r know- •
ledge. " i
The moderat or ruled against intro- '
ducin g any supplementar y bid at this ,
time. :
Mr . A. G. Guyer wanted to hear the
other bid . >
Mr. John C. Bearse objected to a .
supplementary bid.
Jud ge C. C. Paine here made an ex-
planation regardin g a statement he .
had previousl y made regardin g cost of ;
ligh ts. He also opposed the intro- .
duction of a new bid . \
Dr . Hinckley moved the previous !
question.
Mr. Chase's motion was put and it
was carried by an almost unanim ous
vote.
Jud ge Paine then moved that $1080
be ra ised and appropriated for street
lighting and it was so voted by a vote
of 48 to 2.

Win ter's bu t a memory,
Spring is past and gone,
Comes the sweetest season
Mortals chance upon;
Saturday 's work is over ,

But—the day is Sunday
And the month is June.

Orchards white and pink ,
Flag and spearmint sprouting
By the river 's brink ;
Bluebird bursting of his throat
In a merry tune—
Knows the day is Sunday
And the moitr. is June.

Cooking Fish Out of Doors .
"Clean the flali . bin <1<> not scale;
leave head, tail and tins lutm -t and put
a email strip of bacon In each of them.
Dig a hole large enough for th e fish to
lie in with several In ches to spare.
Build a fire In It and get a good hot
bed of coals. Rake out half of them ,
cover the remaind er with an inch of
grass, place the flab on the grass, cover
with more grass and pile the rest of
the hot coals on top. Cover the hole
with a frying pan or any other handy
toing, as, for instance, a flat stone.
"In thirty minutes they will be cook-
ed, and Delmonlco himse lf could not
make them taste better. They are
partly fried and partly steamed by
the Juices of the grass. The bacon
fat has friend out and per meated the
flesh. The grass Juice adds a peculiar
and exceedin gly pleasant flavor , and
when ta ken from the hole the grass
which cllng3 to the fish can be easily
pulled off. and all the scales and skin
will come with It" —Edward G. W.

Fairies— Good and Bad.
Deep down in their hearts , if the
truth were told, the majority of grown-
ups have a strong regard for fairy
stories , and there are few of us with
so little imagination that we have not
a liking for these light fantastic ta les.
Just as there are all sorts and condi-
tlona of men, so are fairies diverse as
a class. The banshee is an Irish fair y,
and Scotland calls it a brownie. An
eh! is a fairy of diminutive size, sup-
posed to be fond of practical Jokes.
Genii are eastern spirits , sometimes
good, bnt occasionally bad. A gnome
h a guardian of a coal mine or quarry
and a goblin a phantom spirit Imp Is
the Welsh spirit of mischief and Jack-
o'-lantern a bog or marsh fair y who
loves to mislead . Every one knows the
mermaid as the sea spiri t and naiads
are water nymphs. Oberon was king
of the fairies, and a pixie is a fairy of
Devon. Puck , fu ll of fan , Is Swedish,
and a sylpb Is a spirit of the air.
Beadle and Minis ter.
A story is toid about a west country
minister and bis beadle, showing the
familiarity that ,used to exist between
the minister and bis man. The minis-
ter and John had got into an argumen t
and It became so hot that John was
like to lose his temper. The ministei
naturally tried to throw oil on the trou-
bled waters.
"Man , John, " ho said, 'it's a good
thing wo are not all of one mind. Foi
example, had everybody been of my
mind everybody would have been
wantin g my good wife Janet"
"Very true ," replied John a little sur-
ly, "for If everybody bad been in the
same, mind as me naebod y would hae
ta'en her ava. She may mak ' a guid
enough minister 's wife, but she would
hae made a pair show aside my Jean T

Served Him Right .
"I have made all sorts of sacrifices
lor you," complained the husband , driv-
en to the wall at last "What did yon
wet give up for me?"
"What did I ever give up for you?"
Kpeated the exasperat ed wife, "Well ,
I never ! Why, you cheap humbug, I
gave tip three or four of the nicest
young fellows in this city—that' s
what !"—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Smith — Jones seems to nave no
thou ght for anything except tola

wra pped np in them.
Good faith is a seldom guest When
yen have him bold him fast—Germ an.
The landlord of the Foxboro Inn
dre w aside the heav y curtain and look-
ed out Into the gathering dusk. He
dro pped the drapery and turned back
into the pleasant , fire lit smoking
room, wher e frank Landls *was" enjoy-
ing an ~after dinner pipe of tobacco.
"I advise you not to set out tonight
Mr. Landls ," warned the landlord as
he went back to his chair.
"It' s only ten mtles to Rlverba nk. I
can make It In half an hour ," protest-
ed Land ls, knocking the ashes from
his pipe and placing It In his pocket
"You don 't understand th is clay soil,
Mr . Landis. I'm apparently tryin g to
reta in a very popular guest here over-
night; but on the contrary, I' m ac-
tuall y worried about you."
"Thanks . Smith; I believe you," said
the other hearti ly, "but Tve promised
to be In Rlverbank tonight , and I'm
going to try for It If. I have to walk-
part of the way."
"Very well, then. Ill try to make
you as comfortable as possible. Do
you want Joe to brin g your car
around ?"
"I
f you please." Landls was shrug-
ging himself Into a heavy motorcoat
and tying a leather cap over his ears.
The storm was plainl y audible now.
The wind howled dismally, and the
rain poured against the wlndowpanes
In a drummin g accompaniment
"I may be making a mistake," he
hesitated , sotto voce, "but I promised
Robinson I'd get that money to him to-
night No one could have suspected
that I star ted forth with ten thou-
sand In cash in my pockets to help my
old friend ont of a tight squeeze, so
why should I be afraid of a holdup?
Brace up, Frank, my lad! Ibelieve
this confoundedly comfortable room
has softened you against bravin g the
storm. If my reaching there tonight
will save Robinson a few hours ' wor-
wrr T'11 An it "
Ten minutes later his little runabout
moved swiftly down the bluestone
driveway from the Foxboro Inn.
The lam plights cut the darkness like
a knife. The directions were simple
enough. "Stra ight ahead, " Smith had
said, and strai ght ahead the road led
between high wooded banks. The trees
groaned and creaked as the wind and
ra in lashed at them; the heavy rain
swished against the protecting hood
and drowned the noise of the motor.
For a short distance the road was
comparatively smooth and hard. Then
it grew softer , and the machine labor-
ed heavil y. Beyond the triangular
points of light on the sticky soil ahead
of the car all was midnigh t blackness.
"I
f I
've got to stick fast I hope It
will be in front of the halfway house, "
muttered Landls as the little machine
bumped and tottered over the rutty
road.
For awhi le the way lay smoother , and
then again it became impassab le. All
at once the runabout seemed to sink
up to the hubs in mud , grunted help-
lessly and at last was silent and mo-
tionless as Landls shut off the power.
"The devi
lI
" quoth Landls , thrusting
his head from beneath the apron and
surve ying the blackness all about him.
"What am I to do?"
He climbed out of the machine and
step ped down Into the oozy mud. It
was over his shoe tops. He detached
one of the lamps and threw its white
glare into the blackness.
What he saw was far from reassur-
ing. On either side of him tall trees
bent their heads to a wild gray Bky
and a downpour of rain. A little be-
yond him there seemed a brea k in the
trees, and after turn ing the light stead-
ily upon It for a few minutes he could
discern the ruins of an old house.
There were a broken backed roof and
a sagging porch across the fron t gap-
Ing windows and from somewhere the
rusning roar or a river.
"The halfway house!" ejaculated
Landls in dismay. "Well, Iguess I
better tramp back to the Foxboro tan
or else spend t lie night In the car "—
Ho turned swiftly, suddenl y aware
that something was happening to the
car . There was a strong smell of gas-
oline and then a roar and upward rush
of flames fro m the stalled machine.
The heavy rain partly extinguished the
flames as fast as the y found new foot-
hold, but there were plenty of protect-
ed parts that furnished fuel for the"
flames.
The glare lighted up the dark road-
way, and as Landls stared , for the
moment stunned by the unexplained
hap pening, a dark figur e appeared on
the other side of the car , scramb led
and slipped up the embankmen t and
melted Into the dark ness beyond the
circle of flame .
Then was Landis arous ed to action.
He was about to climb the embank-
ment in pursuit of tha t mysterious flee-
ing form when he saw that It had
dropped down to the road once more a
hundred feet beyond and was crossing
ra pidly over to the ruined halfway
house.
As he looked the flames that envel-
oped the car were extinguishe d by the
stead y downpour of rain, and all was
dark again .
"I guess It won't be a dullnight if I
can lay my bands on that Individual!"
he muttered as he plung ed through the
mud toward th e halfway bouse.
Ahead of him .>;ln-t ien hurri ed to-
ward the bouse, 'i hoy wen* always In
advance of him—up Hie brok en steps to
the sagging porch—wltulu the creakin g
door into the mysteriou s gloom of the
deserted house.
Landis hesita ted there in the halL
Tiptoein g up the stair s was a man's
tall, lean form . Landis only saw his
spare back and thin legs clad in black
trousers with a loose raincoat fla pping
about his feet.
As the beam from the pocket lamp
shot athwart the wal l at his right the
man leaped upward out of range of it
Althou gh danger and perhaps death
lurked there at the head of the stairs-.
Landls was determined to end the
mystery that had come upon him with
the burnin g of the car. He extin-
guished the lamp, and, with his re-
volver read y, he crept silently up the
stairs, alert for a sound from the man
waltinz above.
He saw nothing, heard nothing.
As he reached the head of the stairs
something rushed at him out of the
gloom—something that twined long
arms about him and tried to throw
him back ward down the stairs.
"Let go or I'll shoot!" war ned Lan-
dls as he struggled with the man.
There was no reply, only his assail-
ant took a fresh hold. . Lean fingers
strove to catch at the motorist' s throat ,
but the heavy fnr coat served Landls
a good turn now. He was enabled to
wriggle out of Its folds, which be leu
In the man's hands , while he plunged
recklessly Into the darkn ess. He bang-
ed Into a solid wall, followed it down
to ah' open doorway and turned Into a
room jf istas the man came runn ing
Ughftr after him. _.

JUNE SON G
Our summer friends are arriving,
the Warrens of Philadelphia , the
Chi pmans , Hills, Webbers , Kennedys ,
Percivals and others , so that already
the streets begin to look like summer
crowds.
We learn that a new docto r will
occu py the office on Main street made
vacan t by Dr. Procter last fall.
Mr. Reilly of Albany, N. Y., visited
his son, Jack Reilly, at Miss M. A.
Malue's on Liber ty street for over
Sunda y. Late r with his wife and son
he ' will come and spend the summer
as last year.
The machinery has arrived for mak-
ing the new piece of State road ,
which will extend toward Sandwich
from Spring Hill up to the top of the
hill by Mt. Hope cemetery. Mr.
Mur phy, who had the contract for the
last mile put in at East Sandwich and
Spring Hill , has the contract for this
job. They will get their soft coal
from the Fu rs t-Clark Co. at the
canal.
Mr. Geor ge W. Pope is having ex-
tensive repairs on his nouse, the work
being done by A. C. Potter and Edwin
H. Cunningham of Sagamore.
Dred ge MacKenzie which has been
under going repairs has resumed work
on the Sagamore end of the Canal.
The work is being rushed on the
toundation for the new bridge at Saga
more.
Harr y F. Cunningham of Sagamore ,
who is a collector of Indian curios
and who has several hundred of the
same, mad e rather a curious find re-
cently on what is known as Saga-
mor e Neck. In looking for curios he
found on the bank where the canal
had been cut through , pieces of rock
simil ar to slate with distinct lines
of petrified cranberry vines and dif-
fer ent grasses , the find being about
one foot below the surface.
