Mr. Swiuton was busy as an orator

Edwin Stiatemeyer, In his "Boy's

plctute of the great statesman's fidelity
as a member of Congress.
"We could always rely on McKInley,"
wild one of his fellow Representatives.
"There wasn't an Industry that he did
not know something about, and gener
ally he could give you the figures of
that Industry's output offhand. Of
course, coming from nn Iron district,
one would expect him to know all about
the Iron trade; but he could tell you
about the cotton trade of the South,
of the lumber trade of the Northwest.
Just as well. I remember one day n
member asked him offhand about the
glass factories In the t-ountry and the
value of the output, ami McKInley gave
him the actual figures out of bis head.
I could hardly believe hlin, and I Jotted
the figures down on a pad. Afterward
I found they were correct."

Fortune Would Not Come-An Ap
parent Trifle Kroughtlt About.
As with many other women, fortune
lingered a long while before coming
to Mrs. Knowles. But finally a
trifling occurrence brought it to her.
Mrs. George M. Knowles lives at No.
16 North street, Portland. Me., and
when a reporter visited her to learn
the facts of the case, she said:
"For a year and a hilf I suffered
tortures from rheumatism. When I
arose In the morning or when I got
up to walk after 1 had been sitting
down for a while, mv inints
stiff and I could not move easily as I
did before the rheumatism set in. Mv
feet ached and I could not walk with
out limping for some minutes after
I started out. It was very painful and
interfered a great deal with mv
household duties."
"How did you succeed in becoming
cured?" asked the newspaper man.
' "It was one of those apparently lit
tle things that brought it about," re
plied Mrs. Knowles, with a smile. "I
had been suffering in this way for a
year and a half when one day I hap
pened to pick up the paper and to
see an advertisement of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I made
up my mind to try them. When I had
taken one box I felt better and after
I had taken the pills for about two
months all the pain was gone. This
was a year ago. and the rheumatism
has not troubled me since."
The above statement of Mrs.
Knowles was sworn to at the report
er's request before Marshall II. Pur
rington. notary public, at Portland,
and published In the Express, a re
liable newspaper of that city.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People will not only cure cases simi

necessary to give new life and rich

They are an unfailing specific for
