THE GATE CITY JOURNAL ■ « MRS. WILHELMY SAVED BY FRIEND King Tom m y Doctor Advised Operation Friend Said Try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound First By g t Paul, Minnesota . — " I was afi rtm- down from overwork and worry, had no — appetite, could not sleep at night, and looked like a corpse. I have six children (five boys and one girl) and did not get any strength after my last baby was bom. I was getting worse and thinner every day. The doc tor said I bad to go to the Hospital but this I could not do on account o f my family. So I went to a friend o f mine and told her what the doctor had told me and she said, ‘ Now do as I tell you. T ry Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound as I have done. It helped me.’ So I started tak ing the Vegetable Compound and I no ticed after the first few bottles that I fe lt considerably better. A fte r taking 9 or 10 bottles I got over my fainting spells. Everybody who sees me now notices the great improvement in my health. I am gaining in weight and strength and am feeling fine. Eat well and sleep good nights.

Chewed up a satisfactory breakfast? What I always say Is, If a fellow sleeps and eats he’s fit for anything.” I am not Norheys- uncle, and my name Is not Bill, or even W illiam ; but I have known him ever since he was born, and I suppose he has a right to stick to the nickname which he first gave me when he was a child In the nursery. His father, the eighth marquis, was my best friend. He and I and Edmond Troyte, the younger brother, were at Winchester togeth er, and afterward at Oxford. I was godfather to the present marquis. "Thanks,” I said. " I got through the night fairly well and the coffee "Freezone” on an aching corn.

At that time all London was enthusiastic about her dancing. Norheys was more enthusiastic than any one else. I hoped he did not mean to marry her. but was very much afraid he did. “ Viola doesn't come in at all so or any of the other skin troubles far,” said Norheys. “Though of to which infants and children course she may later on.

So I thought; but I was wrong. I might have remembered that there Is a queer vein of adventurousness and daring in the Troyte family. There was a Lord Alfred who made himself a sort of Arab sheik early In the Eighteenth century. Before him there was an Elizabethan Lord Ed mund who came back from the Span ish Main with a shipful of gold plate. There was a Lady Elizabeth Troyte haarlem oil has been a world who married Prince Boris of L.vstria in 1762, and, after a brilliant military wide remedy for kidney, liver and rareer, had her head cut off by the bladder disorders, rheumatism, Turks, who were playing about in Ly- lumbago and uric a d d conditions. •tar at that time. There were others. And that kind of thing, if It Is in the blood. Is very hard to eradicate. “ Uncle Ned,” said Norheys. “ wants H A A R L E M OI L me to be a king.” la iim iM Norheys » a s perfectly right to In tuiré abont my health before he made com et internal troubles, stimulate vital an announcement like that.

Where?” “ Does seem a bit of a facer just at first, doesn't It, Uncle BUI? But the way to look at all these things Is this: Why not? Before you turn It down you ought to say to yourself, Why not? That’s what I ’ve been say ing to myself ever since Uncle Ned sprang It on me.” “ Well,” I said, “ when you put It that way I can see— I dare say you’d make a fairly good king of some very small country. But I still find It very difficult to believe that your Unde Ned really proposed It. Did he men tion the name of the country?" “ He did ; but It’s slipped out of my head for the minute. It was the same place where my greataunt Elizabeth went with that mucker of hers one hundred and fifty years ago." “ Lystrla," I said. “ But— well, of course your Uncle Edmund knows bet- ter than I do, but I have an Impres sion that Lystrla Isn’t an Independent state any more.” I was right about that. I looked the matter up after Norheys left me. Lystriu, once an Independent king dom, was Incorporated into the Re public of Megalla by the Treaty of Trianon. Megalla Is one of those new republics which make the map of Europe very confusing to people like me who knew It before the war. No doubt the Lystrians deserved to lose their Independence. The late king, Wladlslaws VI, backed the wrong side in the war and like all who did that, lost his throne. “ L.vstria Is the spot Uncle Ned men tioned.” said Norheys. “ Potty little one-horse place; but of course a fel- R esinol FOR OVER 200 YEARS fc O U J M I “ I haven’t,” said Norheys. “ At least I hadn't until yesterday. What sort of a bird Is he?" I found It a little difficult to give a clear account of Procopius Cabla Nobody knows where he came from. Ills Christian name sounds Greek, and I have heard It said that he was orig inally a Levantine Jew. I could not call him a captain of Industry, for he does not manufacture, nor drive other people to manufacture, anything. I suppose he might be described as a financier. I said so to Norheys. "Anything to do with oil?” he asked. "'Not that I know of.” I said, "but he may. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that Cable had something to do with anything In the world if there’s money to be made out of It.” " I mentioned It,” said Norheys, “be cause Uncle Ned said something about oil in Lystrla. I can’t say I much like the Idea of living in a place that stinks of paraffin, nasty stufT, always getting Into your food and dripping about. However, Uncle Ned says the good old British empire wants oil, and If It does I ’m all for Its having as much as It can get. That’s what I always say to a fellow who starts talking about the empire: The prop er thing Is to let the British empire get what It wants with the least pos sible fuss, whether It’s oil, or rubber, or whatever the thing may be. Un cle Ned seemed to think that In this ease It was oil.” "Is there oil in Lystrla? I never heard of It.” "That fellow Cable seems to have said so,” said Norheys, "and I rather gather—mind you. I ’m not saying this as a certain, sure thing. My general Impression Is that If I was king of Lystrla, Uncle Ned and the Jolly old empire would collar ths oil? See?” I began to see.

"If you really are to be a king— ” As his godfather I felt It my duty to speak seriously to Norheys about his future. I had thought of quite a nice thing to say, hut he interrupted me. "Unele Ned wants me to.” he said. “ It Isn’t a thing I’d have thought of going in for all on my ow n; but when Uncle Ned bus set Ids heart on It— well, no fellow with any /ense of de cency wants to start a family quar rel by going against his relations, un less he absolutely has to. I ’ve been thinking things over since Uncle Ned spoke to me. My Idea Is that a king's duty Is to make as few laws as pos sible. and to stop other fellows mak ing them If he can. What I always say Is this: Most fellows are all right If you leave them alone and don't go trying to make them do things they don’t want to. Of course If they take to batting each other on the bead, then you’ve got to send a policeman to »top them. But otherwise— Well, my Idea o f kings and presidents and people like that 1» that they’ve far too good an opinion of themselves. They always think they know what's best and want the other fellow to do It. Whereas the other fellow knows real ly Just as well as they do. And my idea I»: Let him. So long as It doesn't annoy anybody else much, let him.” Norheys' political principles struck me as sound. I felt that. If ever he became king o f Lystrla. I should like to go and live there. Taxes ought to be ligh t; for the greater part of our national Income seems to go in pay ing officials to compel people to do things they don't want to. There would be no expenditure of that sort In Lystrla under Norheys. “There's another Allow In this stunt,” he said, "besides Uncle Ned. Ever hear of any one called Cable?” "I've heard of Procopius Csbls,” I said. "Everybody baa." I took the first chance I got of having a chat with Edmond Troyte. He was perfectly frank with me and told me all about the scheme for making his nephew king of Lystrla. He began with the political part of the plan. The Lystrians are, so he 5 §Jd, an intensely patriotic people, tmd they very much dislike being merged In the Republic of Megalla. In fact, Edmund admitted this to me, the framers of the Treaty of Trianon made a mistake, a had mistake, In depriving Lystrla of its Independence. "They are a people,” said Troyte, “ with a strong feeling in favor of monarchy. They don’t like the re publican form of government. The aristocracy doesn’t like It. The Church doesn’t like it, and In Lystria the Church counts for a lot. Whatever the patriarch says the people say aft er him. The patriarch’s name Is Menelaus.'’ He went on to tell me that the Lys trians. would like to have tlielr old king hack. “ But that’s Impossible. The En tente powers wouldn't stand It. Be sides, that fellow Wladlslaws is a bad one. He treated his wife badly, she was an Englishwoman. As a matter of fact, she was a distant cousin of my own.” Any king who treats a relative of Troyte’s badly deserves to lose his throne. I saw at once that Wladis- laws had Irretrievably lost his. ‘Th* Patriarch Menelaus ami the Lystrign aristocracy.” said Troyte, •‘know perfectly well that they can’t have Wladislaws hack. So, some time ago. they asked for an Englishman. The only condition they made was that he should marry the ex-king’s daughter. Of course we turned the proposal down at once and no more was heard of It.” “ You seem to have turned tt up again," I said. "Now, why?” That, It appeared, Is where Proco pius Cable came In. He had found out that the l-ystrian mountains were full of oil. He tried to get a conces sion for the development of the oil fields. The Megallan government hes itated and wrangled and procrastinat ed until Cable got tired of trying to deal with them. They had not money enough to develop the place them selves. They had not the knowledge or enterprise or energy to do It even If they had the money. And they would not let Cable do It. So hs started working up patriotic feeling | In Lystrla. or rather financing It, for It did not need working up. He got Into touch with the patriarch and he got Into touch with the aristocracy through a certain Coant Istran Css- linlr. He gave them all the money they wanted. According to Cable's account everything was ready for g revolution. All that was wanted wsf’ a king whom the Entente powers would recognize. The Megallan re public would be quite helpless if Eng land or any other great power recog nized the new king of Lyatrla. M y w ord ! W hat next?
