Experience
And Not
f.
Experim ents
Should be your guide in buying medicine.
Let others experiment; you should be
guided by experience. Experiments are
uncertain in result; experieuce is sure.
Experiments muy do you harm; exjieri-
ence proves that Hood's Sarsaparilla will
do you wonderful good. You muy rely
upon the experience of those who have
been cured by this medicine.
F u lfills a Duty.
“ I feel it my duty to let people know
bow much good Hood’s Sarsaparilla did
for me. My health was poor and I had
doctored and taken medicjne but found no
relief, so I thought I would try Hood's
Sarsuparilla. After taking two bottles I
felt better and I kept on taking it and now
I am well. I think it is the best blood
medicine in the world.”—C. W. C abey ,

open a water route into th e interior of
Russian Tnrkestan and thus furnish
th e country w ith com m unication, and
to some extent with water also. For
this purpose advantage will be taken
of a line of depressions or valleys ex
tending from a point on the lower
course of Am ur-Daria river eastward
to the Caspian sea. A canal to the
Caspian cati be built on a com paratively

" A N O PEN LETTER TO M O T H E R S .
We are asserting in the courts our right to the
exclusive use o f the word “ CASTORIA,” and
“ PITCHER’S CASTORIA.” as our Trade Mark.
I, Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Hyannis, Massachusetts,
was the originator of “ PITCHER’S CASTORIA,”
the same that has borne and does now bear the
facsim ile signature of CHAS. H. FLETCHER on
everj’ wrapper. This is the original “ PITCHER’S
CASTORIA ’* which has been used in the homes
Of the mothers of America for over thirty years.
Look Carefully at the wrapper and see that it is
kind you have alwayt bought, and has the
signature of CHAS. H. FLETCHER on the
wrapper. No one has authority from me to nse
my name except The Centaur Company of which
Chas. H. Fletcher is President.

ly Interesting subjects for conversa­
tion. Of course, as In every gathering
of nieu ami women, all sorts of gossip
runs riot.
O ther signs th a t would be of Interest
to the visitor, but which have become
commonplace w ith the clerks nt the
pension office, are the great stretch of
file cases containing the claims for
pensions of a million brave soldiers ami
soldiers’ widows and minor children,
w hich cover nearly the entire Door
space of the court of the pension office
building, and the largest American
flag lu the U nit«! States, which floats
above them all. In no other place on
earth has there ever been such a m ass­
ing together of claims of soldiers for
pensiona, the result of a single civil
w ar.
Men who rem em ber the tost time the
rem nants of the Grand Army of the
Republic, old men ami feeble, many of
them carrying evidences In their m aim ­
ed Ixxlies of the stirring scenes through
w hich they passed, m arched up Penn­
sylvania avenue am id an applauding
audience made of a younger generation
have a peculiar feeling of veneration to­
w ard the nuiss of papers which have
been filed since the w ar In the pension
office to prove their claims for recogni­
tion through pensions. But this scene,
a m em orable one to visitors here. Is now
too commonplace to call forth much In­
terest from the clerks of the pension of­
fice who wend their way to the lunch
counters through this mass of docu­
m entary evidence.
Finally a t 1 o’clock a gong sounds,
and before Its Intonations have died
out the I,(¡00 clerks of the pension of­
fice are back at tlielr desks ami at
work. T here are no stragglers. This
precision Is unknow n In other d epart­
ments, but a t the pension office It Is
ever present during lunch time. The
short half hour devoted to attentions
•to the Inner man Is a pleasant break
alw ays a t the pension office, and pleas­
a n te r probably because of the stric t­
ness observed In stopping and begin
nlng work.
“ Y o u r s T r u ly . ”
The habits of people In signing let­
ters are receiving some attention, and
Interesting conclusions are draw n from
a study of the different w ays w riters

them selves.
The
curt
•’Yours" and “Yours tru ly ” are found
not ouly In business letters, but In per­
sonal notes as well, for there are plenty
of correspondents who don’t believe In
gush, and who think th a t “Yours tru ly ”
or “sincerely” means about all they
wish to convey. Opposed to these sen­
sible and essentially practical persons
Is th a t class of w riters m ade up usual­
ly of young and enthusiastic Individ­
uals, as a rule of the gentle sox, who
throw w ords about as carelessly on pa­
per as they do In conversation. The
use of the word love by such people
Is a distressing sign of emotional w eak­
ness, or carelessness, or of Insincerity,
and possibly arises from the sam e im ­
pulse thnt prom pts women to kiss each
other indiscrim inately. One Boston
girl, who Is quoted by the Journal, has
taken her own stand lu the m atter, and
a t the risk of being considered “cold”
and “thoroughly Boston” she sticks to
It. In her childhood she wns tau g h t to
sign “affectionately yours’’ to her fa r­
aw ay g re a ta u n ts and second cousins,
some of whom she had never seen, but
all of whom she tried to like, because
of the claims of kindred, and the word
“affectionately” came to m ean to her
nothing ut all except polite and neces­
sary fiction. 80 she signs “affection­
ately” to people she Is supposed to be
conventionally fond of, and when she
says anything more she m eans It. She
thoroughly approves of “Cordially
yours,” and this, by the way. Is seen
more and more frequently now In
notes betw een acquaintances who are
on distinctly friendly or cordial term s.
A fter all, “Your friend,” when It can lie
used truthfully, Is a simple and satis­
factory w ay of ending friendly letters.
Some people have the habit of not pre­
facing their nam es with any set form
of w ords a t the end of letters. They
stop when they get through, and w rite
their signatures w ithout any frills.—
