his lady love at the Windsor hotel lu
Deuver wheu autlcipatlug an accept

Swift aud that she was trying to care
forherself.asher mother was an Invalid

GIFT TO THE NATION.
Aarlcnltaral DepsHnest's Collection
of New l canonic Plant.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is now putting Into shape
a collection of new economic plants and
vegetables which are expected to prove
of great value to the farmers and gar
deners of the country. The collection
was made by Barbour Lathrop, former
ly of Chicago, who has spent two years'
time and thousands of dollars of bis
own money ou the project
Two years ago Mr. Lathrop left New
York, taking with him as an expert
botanist David U. Fairchlld, who was
assigned for the purpose by the De
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton. At the time of his selection Mr.
Fairchlld was In charge of the section
of seed and plant introduction.
During the two years which have
elapsed the party has visited almost
80X1 HEW PRODUCTS.
every part of South America, Europe,
Africa and Asia, to Bay nothing of the
slands at which they have made stops.
Everywhere they have gone they have
carefully Investigated the regular crops
oy the farmers of the country, and hare
purchased seeds and plants of such
species as they thought might be in
troduced Into the United States with j
advantage. Altogether 450 different;
purchases have been sent in to the
Agricultural Department and experi
ments are already well advanced with I
some of them. Among those from
which great results are expected are
the Alexandrian clover from Egypt
which Is intended as a late fodder crop
for Irrigated lands in California and
Arizona; the seedless grape from
Padua, Italy, intended for the seedless
raisin Industry of the Colorado desert
region; Egyptian cotton, which Is now
being tested by over 100 experimenters
in the South; and a series of East In
dian yams, one of which Is said to be
far superior to the potato In flavor.
Where H e Test Failed.
Sir William Harcourt has pleaded
guilty to absent-mindedness and tells
a story against bfrnself. He suspected
a man servant of stealing money and
at last resolved to set a trap. Taking
a handful of gold coins, be laid them
down on his writing desk and went out
Presently he sent this servant to the
room to fetch some article. When
John had returned he promptly went
to his room to see If the coins had been
touched. On the table. In the place
where be had left them, were gold
coins. But were there as many as he
bad left? He did not know, for he had
neglected to count them before he (bad
laid them down. By this Incident,
you see," said Sir William, In telling
the story, "that I was- born to be
chancellor of the exchequer." '
Some people are enthusiastic In ac
cepting Invitations, because they figure
that they will save that much by eat

Of the many remarkable cases
which have recently occupied the at

of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale

Jennie Tuttie. who, after two years'
confinement to her bed. was restore !
to perfect health and strength. Mrs.
Tuttie, who lives at the corner of Ful

Mich., tells the following story:
"1 had been flat on my back In bed
tor two years and the doctors had
given me up as a hopeless case. They
had -resorted to every remedy known
to the profession and had even sub
jected me to the tortures of five sur
gical operations. My trouble was due
to change of life and 1 grew weaker
and weaker until I became helpless
and 'unable to leave my bed. A nurse
and four physicians attended me.
"One box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People gave me great
relief and after using them for three
months I was a well woman, having
been' able to leave my bed the sixth
week after commencing the treat
ment I can state that the cure was
complete and permanent as it Is now
three years since I used them.
"I have recommended the pills to
several of my relatives. My mother-in-law-
who Is 72 years old, took them for
general debility, and they soon pro
duced a very marked Improvement In
her condition. I wish that the
thousands of women who are afflicted
as I have been may know of this rem
edy which has saved my life and
given me health and strength."
