Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Inspires
Confidence and Hope.
Examination by a male physician is
a hard trial to a delicately organized
woman.
She puts it off as long as she dare,
and is only driven to it by fear of caD
cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill.
Most frequently such a woman leaves
a physician s office
where she has un
dergone a critical
examination, with
animpression,more
or less, of discour
agement.
This condi
tion of the
minddestroys
the effect of
advice; and
she grows
i worse rather
than better. In consulting Mrs. Pink
ham no hesitation need be felt, the
story is told to a woman and is wholly
confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address
is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women
her advice without charge.
Her intimate knowledge of women's
troubles makes her letter of advice a
wellsprlngof hope, and her wide experi
ence and skill point the way to health.

AWHEEL fN SIBERIA.
Ihe Village Boys Had ver Eefore
r reen a IJicjr--.
During a bicycle Journey through Si
beria one summer I had occasion to
travel several hundred miles along
what is called the Great Siberian High
way. You will see by glancing at the
map that this road connects the Sibe
rian capital. Irkutsk, with European
Russia. The distance Is soine three
thousand miles, and along Its course
have been built nearly all the towns
and villages of old Siberia.
Through these towns and villages I
made my dally runs, and usually with
n clamoring multitude of shouting boys
and yelping dogs as my escort; for' a
bicycle was as yet a novelty In that
part of the world, and In some of the
more remote districts even a thing un
known. I remember, on entering a
certain village just at dusk, when the
streets were quite deserted, I came
suddenly upon two village boys walk
lug in the street. They did not see me
until I flashed abruptly past them.
They threw up their hands In bewilder
ment and shrieked out, "Chort eedlott!"
(The devil's coming!) and lied In terror
to their homes. 1 rode on to the regu
lar post station, ordered a frugal sup
per and prepared to pass the night In
the "travelers' room."
In the meantime, the news of the
"devil's" arrival had spread like wild
fire through the village, and the post
yard was soon swnrmin wth v"'""
boys, pestering the station master to
et tiiem have a peep at the marvelous
'devil's carriage." With the "devil's"
permission, the carriage was finally
taueii out to exhibit to the wondering
owd. hen I had finished my meal
stole out unnoticed to observe tho
group of eager urchins gathered round
the object of their curiosity. One of
tnelr number, more presumptuous than
me rest, nail taken hold of the wheel,
nd was endeavoring to erilicrhten his
young congregation on bicycle phllos.-
opiiy in general, and this wheel in par
ticular. I he hand e bars, lie knpw
ere to catch hold of. and the seat was
to sit on, but he did not exactly know
how It was propelled.
An Inquisitive chan raised the nups-
tiou of balancing how the blevele
could stand up without being held. This
question was Immediately seconded by
tne rest or the assembly, and put the
self-elected teacher on his mettle. He
aserted at once that that feat was easy
enough to perform; but the more he
tried to show them how, the more be
ealized Its difficulty, until finally the
bicycle cot tangled un with his lees.
and both went sprawling on the ground.
This was the signal for a shout of deri
sive laughter from the crowd; but the
little fellow was not to be defeated so
Iguoinlulotisly. He picked himself un.
rubbed his head for a moment and med
itated. Finally a happy thought struck
him. "Oh. I know how it Is!" he ex
claimed, as he picked up the bicycle.

right nedal). "and when It f al s that
way he puts down the other." Then the

looked proudly around for approval.

they had not thought of It before.

A Wnr-Tlmo Hiding PlaO".
J. II. Gore writes an article for St.
Nicholas describing some peculiar
"Hiding Places In War Times." Those
he tells about wore all In one house In
Virginia, near a town which changed
hands, under Are, eighty-two times dur
ing the war. Mr. Gore says: With fall
came the "fattening time" for the hogs.
They were then brought In from the
distant fields, where they had passed
the summer, and put In A pen by the
Bide of the road. And although within
ten feet of the soldiers as they march
ed hv. thev were never seen, for the
pen was completely covered by the
winter's wood-pile, except at the back,
.,oro there was n board fence
through whose cracks the corn was
thrown In. Whenever tne passing aa
.n imnrd told us that an army was
approaching, the hogs were hurriedly
fed, so that the army might go by while
they were taklm? their after-dinner nnp
aud thus not reveal their presence by
nn escaped grunt or squeal. Fortunate
ly, tne house was situated In a narrow
valley, where the opportunities for
bushwhacking were so great that the
soldiers did not tarry long enough to
search unsuspected wood-plies. On one
occasion we thought the hogs were
doomed. A wagon broke down near
the house, and the soldier went to the
wood-pile for a pole to be used in mend
ing the break. Luckily, he found a stick
to bis liking without tearing the pile to
pieces. This suggested that some nice
straight pieces be always left conveni
ently near for such an emergency, In
case It should occur agaiu.
OFFICER WORSTED FOR ONCE.

lJriinkeu Men nnd a ISljr Doc
Ever since he Joined the force Police
man Andy Murray has made a special
ty of the arrest of "drunks," a line of
duty for which bo seems to be peculiar
ly fitted, and In the exercise of which
he takes great delight. It was because
of his reputation for always lauding his
man at the nearest patrol box unassist
ed that he undertook to arrest two In
toxicated Individuals single-handed on
.Monday night, aud thereby came to
grief. Andy was standing at 22d aud
Diamond streets shortly after dark
when he saw an oddly assorted pair
leaning up against the gate of the Odd
Fellows' cemetery, both evidently un
der the Influence of liquor. One was a
man attired In full dress, wearing a
high silk hat, who was holding a big
Newfoundland dog by a chain. The
other was a bicyclist, who was appar
ently too far gone to ride, but who still
held on to his wheel.
Patrolman Murray grabbed each by
the shoulder and started for the patrol
box, but the prisoners wanted to argue.
The trio came to a halt; the dog ran
around them a couple of times, winding
up the chain, and then suddenly, espy
ing a cat, made a wild dash for the oth
er side of the street. The unsteady
prisoners fell over like tenpins, drag
ging their captor with them. In his
fall Murray jammed one foot through
the spokes of the bicycle's front wheel
and, unable to extricate himself, he lay
at the bottom of the heap until a broth
er officer came to bis assistance. He
now acknowledges that he bit off more
than he could "chew." Philadelphia

Siberian and Russian.
Thomas G. Allen, Jr., writes an arti
cle on "The Boys of Siberia" for St.
Nicholas. Mr. Allen says:
To begin with, the Siberian boy Is not
a Russian. I Insist upon that distinc
tion, because I know he would be sure
to make it if he were here to speak for
himself. "No, sir; I am not a Russian,"
one has often said to me, In polite cor
rection; "I'm a Siberian." And he
speaks In a way that leaves no room to
doubt the sincerity of his pride. The
reader may, perhaps, think this a dis
tinction without a difference; but, from
my personal observation, I should say
that there is Justification of Intermix
ture of native blood with the Siberian-
Russian. Generally speaking, the Si
berian boy, as compared with the boy
of European Russia, la by far the
qulcker-wltted, more energetic, and
more self-respecting. He has many
more of the qualities that In the hour of
his country's need go to make up the
hero or patriotic soldier.
They say It takes a smart man to
make a rascal. Whether this be true or
not, certain It Is that the class of men
who have been sent as exiles to Siberia,
especially the political prisoners, have
generally been taken from the more In
tellectual classes of European Russia.
The descendants of these exiles, on the
other hand, being born and raised In
Siberia, away from the harmful Influ
ences of a crowded population, have In
herited natural Intelligence without the
Incentives to misuse it. Furthermore,
they know nothing about the disgrace
of exile, and regard Siberia only with
genuine pride as the land of their na
tivity. An Innocent Civilian.
