If yon were offered sure aid tn Urn
of trouble would you put It aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency ?
I f you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you Ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure T
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing- in useless experi
ment. Why, then, do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them.?
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. It
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
AVrite to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
for a little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and others
Mrs, rinkham'a advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine.

DESTRUCTION OF ARCH ROCK,
SAN FRANCISCO BAY.
Qrlm, Gray and Picturesque Pinnacle
Terror to the Mariner-Has lieena
Menace to Navigation, Kver Bince
the Iter of '40.
Shag rock No. 1 And Sling rock No. 2
lu San Francisco having befU d.sposed
of, contractors are now busily engaged
in work preliminary to the demolition
of the still more tamous Arch rock In
the same maritime thoroughfare. The
forty-ulrier cannot recall the day when
this picturesque menace to navigation
was not anathematized by the sailor
man. Many a time its destruction has
been suggested, and Its demolition
would have been accomplished
long ago but for the sentimental oppo
sition of a few veteran Califoruiaus
who hated to see their odd-looking old
friend disappear forever. Residents of
Sausallto have always been particular
ly averse to its destruction, their cry
always being that It was one of the
sights of the bay. Eventually contin
ued agitation by pilots and others In
terested In shipping bore fruit, and now
Arch rock must follow In the way of
the two others.
In early days of California's history It
was a favorite amusement for young
men to wait for an unusually low tide
and then pull a boat through the arch.
So far as Is known the first time this
feat was accomplished was lu 1857,
when Captain Frank Murphy, one of
the best known pilots of his day, rowed
a small boat through. For a few years
the daring trip was occasionally made
or attempted, but eventually a couple
of young fellows. In trying to do the
trick, were dashed against the arch by
the heavy swell. The boat was smash
ed and the young men lost their lives.
Since that time rowboats bare given
Arch rock a wide berth.
Frank Boyd, a noted pilot of the Cali
fornia coast, voiced the opinion of all
men In his profession when be called
Arch rock a dangerous spot, and said
It should have been blown up long ago.
hen they come to survey that spot,"
he said, "they will find every inch of
ground In the vicinity of Arch rock
covered with anchors and chains.

ARCH ROCK, SAN
hundred have come within an ace of
going on the rock and had to slip
their anchors In order to get clear. The
first vessel that I remember being
wrecked on Arch rock," continued Cap
tain Boyd, "was the pilot-boat Sea
Witch. That was In 1&3. All the
pilots had 'boarded off and the schoon
er was coming In tn charge of the boat
keeper. There was a dense fog and
the boatkeeper mistook Arch rock for
a sloop under sail and getting his
course accordingly made the mistake
of his life. All hands were saved, but
the Sea Witch was a total loss.
"The next wreck was that of the
clipper ship Flying Dragon In the win
ter of 18G1-C2. She made the fastest
run on record from Newcastle, N. S.
W, thirty-five days, and anchored off
Melggs wharf. Captain Watson, the
well-known marine surveyor, was In
command of the vessel, but the pilot
was still In charge when the accident
happened. A sudden change of wind
and a fierce squall drove the Flying
Dragon down on the rock and she be
came a total loss.
"The next vessel lost on the rock was
the bark Autocrat in 18i9. She was
loaded with coal and drifted down to
her doom In a dense fog. Since that
time numberless vessels have made the
acquaintance of Arch rock and always
to ineir aisaavantage. The old ferry
boat Clinton went on one of its ledges
In a fog and the steamer Oregon, now
running between the sound and Nome,
lost her bilges on it The old bark
Columbia stuck on It for a day and a
night, and. last of all, the bark Cey
lon drifted down on it a few months
ago and was saved by the quarantine
steamer Sternberg. As It was the Cey
lon lost all her sheathing. It would
take t page to give the number of ves
sels that have Just escaped going on
Arch rock by slipping their cables, and
when the contractors come to boring
I'll guarantee they will find more chain
and anchors than rock."
FOUGHT A FIERCE GRIZZLY.
Plate Indian Klllei the Have Brute
with Only Knife.
The California grizzly bear has been
one of the most powerful and uncon
querable beasts ever known to the
Western pioneer. A meeting with him
has usually brought death to the hardy
adventurer who dared enter the en
counter, or even stand in his way when
bruin came crashing through the un
derbrush. Other bears are met with
confidence and dispatched with a steady
aim, but when a grizzly comes thunder
ing down the bowlders, tearing off trees
in his superbly undevlatlng course,
shaking the mountain side wlty his half
ton of savage bulk, the nerves of man
have to be strong Indeed to withstand
the spectacle. There Is death In the
red Jaws, ripping and tearing In the
powerful claws, strength to dash a
man's bead from bis body at a blow
from one of the huge forelegs. Coming
bead-on, he is like all savage creation
turned loose. He Is usually more than
mortal can face; only the prptornatur
ally brave and reckless court death and
defy the fates by daring to stand and
flgbt when be comes. Yet a few days
knife, met and overcome one of these
monsters. : The Indian Was living at
lust accounts, but the bear was dead.
Mustang is the Indian's name. Ue
and another Piute were out in a tre
mendously wild region of the Ileteh
lletohy valley aud when descending
the bed of a gorge they almost ran Into
the Jaws of the largest grimly they had
ever seen. Mustaug aud his companion
tired their rifles at the brute, but the
two shots produced no tuoro effect In
arresting the bear's charge than would
the throwing of a pebble against the
wind stop a cyclone. Mustaug was a
step In ndvauce of his companion and
bruin reached him first, knocking his
gun one way and him the other. The
companion climbed a tree. Mustang
pluuged his kulfe to the handle into the
shaggy monster, slashed it again and
again across bis rough hide, ripped aud
cut until blood poured from a doxen
gashes In the herculean carcass; then
be fell under a crushing blow from one
of the spiked paws and lay quivering
on the rocks with the bear tearing
strips of hide from bis back and chew
ing his arms and shoulders to a pulp.
Meantime Mustang's friend was vain
ly trying to get his rifle luto working
order. It had been injured when he
climbed the tree. From morning till
night this condition lasted. The bear
soon left the mangled remains of Mus
tang and lumbered tn red vengeance
over to the tree where perched the
other Indian. After trying lu vain to
climb he limped back to Mustang, but
before he could tear the man to pieces
the Indian, who was by no means dead
yet. drove the knife Into his enemy's
vitals. The bear staggered off a few
yards and then, overcome by the fear
of death which comes Instinctively to
all animals, staggered down the gorge.
but fell for good In a few minutes. As
sistance soon reached Mustang, who
was eared for by cunulng medicine

Does Not Come with Age.
A medical man has discovered that
neither In youth nor old age Is a man
likely to make the biggest fool of him
self. Extreme youth usually is consid
ered not to have arrived at the dignity
of years of discretion, yet a homely
proverb would have us believe that
there is no fool like an old fool" This
medical observer has broached the
theory that there Is an "aberration
period of middle life," between the
ages of 57 and C2. "If," be says, "a

j careful examination be made of the
preventable disasters of the last twenty
years anu or the ages of those who

mankind for such lamentable Issues
there will be found a strange coinci

Here Is an interesting and practically
Inexhaustible field for Investigation.
Politicians who are "agMn" the govern

of some boss who was passing through

true origin. In time, no doubt. w
shall appreciate the necessity of requir

Beyond Him.
Matthew Arnold, next to Whistler,
was perhaps the most colossal egotist
of bis time.
After bis return to London from his
first lecturing tour In America, he vis
ited old Mrs. Proctor, widow of the
poet "Barry Cornwall." and mother of
Adelaide Proctor. Mrs. Proctor, who
was then 80 years old, In giving Mr.
Arnold a cup of tea, asked him.
"And what did they say about yon
In America'"
"Well," said the literary autocrat,
"they said I was conceited, and they
said my clothes did not fit me."
"Well, now," said the old lady, "

The Belgian hare as a fad is a thing

the dangers lurking in it are beginning
to suggost themselves seriously to the
publio mind. It is realised that an
animal possessed of sucb wonderful fe
cundity is liable to become a destruct

Repressive legislation is, therefore,
deemed necessary. The board of sup
ervisors of San Diego county has taken
the initiative by passing an ordinance
prohibiting the liberation of Belgian

that are perfect and fully ripe. When

strain it thoroughly. Use lard barrels,
first cleaning the lard from the barrel,
but should a little adhere to the sides
it will be an advantage. Keep the
barrel in a cool place and allow no air
to enter other than that which forces

branch of the V. M. O. A. of New
York City, Ohnuuccy M. Do pew made
