SAXON TONIC
AND NERVINE
Drives away aches, pains, weakness
and ailments that make women's
lives miserable. The Saxon Tonic
and Nervine is a Royal invigorating
tonic, a soothing and strengthening
nervine, a perfectly legitimate medi
cine, purely vegetable, harmless,
compounded and carefully adapted
to women's needs. It will not dis
appoint or harm. In all cases of
nervous exhaustion, inability (o
sleep, nervous prostration, all harsh
medicines for bringing about men
struation are dangerous and do the
system great injury. The Saxon
Tonic and Nervine is the best, safest
and most natural way which is regu
lating and strengthening the whole
system. This medicine is not a cure
all chronic diseases of the sexual
system of women. Saxon Medicine

LndloTf'a Victory Over Shaffer.
General William Ludlow, who is
achieving high fame as the first Ameri
can governor of Havana, owes his pres
ent command to a personal victory he
gained over General Shatter in the first
days of the Santiago campaign. .
He had long, ago attained u fine rec
ord as a topographical engineer, and
was one of the first regular army officers
to seek service in Cuba. With a scarce
ly dried commission of brigadier general
of volunteers in his pocket be hastened
to General Shaffer.
Seeing that General Shatter already
had a competent engineer on his staff,
General Ludlow applied for command
of a brigade on the fighting line, and
mentioned the First brigade of the Sec
ond division. General Shatter looked up
in surprise and exclaimed- "I thought
you were an engineer!"
"So I am," replied General Ludlow,
"also an artillerist, or cavalry officer,
or an infantry officer, at the will of my
superiors, like ever3' trained soldier."
General Shafter began parleying, and
General Ludlow, in the mildest manner
possible, insisted, morning after morn
ing, until he received it. After the ter
rible battle of El Caney he was promot
ed to be a major general. Philadelphia

There is no charm about McEIret's Wine of -Cardui, al
though there seems to be. When it is taken by women suffer
ing with -female troubles", it cures them naturally. This
release from the grasp of terrible diseases brings about such
feelings of relief and joy that they imagine the Wine is charmed.
The truth is that this is exactly the medicine Nature intended for
curing the feminine organs when weakness or disease attacks
them. Its action b direct upon the delicate organs of menstrua
tion. It goes straight to the seat of the trouble and overcomes
if, stopping pains and drains,
restoring tone and strength,
and allaying inflammation
and ulceration. The monthly
flow is regulated like clock
work, and headaches, back
aches and nervousness disappear permanently. It insures comfort
and" safety for pregnant wives, and vigor and health for the
coming child.

"Gordon Mr. Clyde!'" is all she can

"Mary, arc yon glad to seo me again?
Have you forgiven what I said to you tho'

"Gordon!" A little hand rest, upon his

Tiie Philadelphia .Record says: "The
strength of the fad for autographs was I
strikingly shown yesterday, when scores
of clerks and customers besieged James
Wliitcomb Riley while he was modestly
making some book pnrchases in a large
department store.
"As soon as the Hoosier'poet was
sighted near the latest book counter the
news quickly went the rounds of the
clerks and within a half hour 3Ir. Ri
ley had obligingly signed his name to
100 cards. Customers-who were at the
book stalls at the time or were attracted
thither also took advantage of the op
portunity and secured the signature of
the poet.
"To one of the clerks Mr. Riley said
that on tho average he receives 200 let
ters a day asking for his autograph and
many more personal rcqnests while, on
his tours. When not in a humor fcr
composition the poet, as a mental di
version, occupies himself in signing
the thousands of cards which he yearly
receives."

A Noble
Revenge.
eoeccooooceoooeocooococoec!
Clara Leslie was Gordon Clyde's prom
ised wife, but last night she eloped with
her lover's bosom friend, Lawrence Slav.
Betrayed by the girl ho loved ns he did
bis life, betrayed by the man he trusted
nbovo nll'others, Gordon Clyde walked up
and down with rapid strides the best
room of Leslie Cottage tho room in which .
he had spent so many happy hours with !
Clam Leslie.
His handsome features worked as if he
was suffering from Eomo acute inward j
pain, his arms were folded across Ids broad !
chost, nnd his chin rested on his bosom.
From a far corner Mary Leslie, a prct- j
ty, gentle girl of 10 or thereabout, watch-
ed him with n sorrowful expression of
countenance and teardrops In her great
dark eyes.
Would ho never cease that rapid walk l
W ould ho nuver speal.
sho say to calm the
raging in that strong man's bosom?
Suoh were Mary's thoughts, when sud
denly Gordon stopped walking .ami said
fiercely:
"I hate her! I liato him, and as surely
as I am standing here I. will some day bo
revenged upon them both!"
And he flung himself into a chair.
"Oh, Gordon, Gordon, don't talk like
thnt!" And Mary crossed over to where ho
was sitting and put her artunround his
neck. "I know sho has wronged you ho
has wronged you, but 'Vcngeauco is
mine, saith tho Ixird, and .1 will repay.'
Leave them to him, Goidon."
Ho threw off the hand that clasped his
neck and sprang to his feet.
"Don't preach to mc, Mary Leslie! Of
courso you'd like to savo your cousin, but
I'll bo revonged on her! I hate even the
name of Leslie, and I'll Icavo this house,
that has been my curso, never to enter it
again !"
The young girl stood horrified for a mo
ment, but as Gordon rushed jwist her to
the door sho cried:
"uorclon, Uordofi, listen to mo!
The words, which seemed wrung- from
her heart, reached his ears. Ho gave ono
backward glance. Ho saw two outstretch
ed arms nnd a white, agonized faco. For
n moment he hesitated, but it was only
for a moment; tho next, he was gone.
Gonol Mary Leslie sank upon tho floor
and burst into tears. Kvcr sinco she could
remember sho loved Gonlqn Clydo. Sho
never thought her Ilcklo minded cousin
good enough for him. Child as sbo was,
hho long ago foresaw what was going to
happen, and how often sho had prayed
that Clara would be true to Gordon!
"Oh, if ho only knew how much I caro
for him, ho would not say ho hated tho
moaned Mary.
Simple Question Urleflj- Ansivered.
"My good woman." said the learned
judge, "you mnst give an answer in
the fewest possible words" of which you
are capable to the plain and simple
question whether, when j-ou were cross
ing the street with the baby on your
arm, and the omnibus was coming down
on the right side and the cab on the
left, and the brougham was trying to
pass the omnibns, yon saw the plaintiff
between the brougham and the cab, or
whether and when yon saw him" at all,
and. whether or not near the brougham,
cab and omnibus, or either, or which
of them respectively. "

tigation. Special Correspondence.
Washington, May S. The recent
of an extensive system of
demonstrates the fact
certain there are stolen plates in exist
ence, and he did not hesitate to say so
even when lie was in the government
service.
Whenever a new counterfeit appears
the first thought that comes to the se
cret service officers is that it was made
by some of the engravers in the treasury
list. Theso are not till treasnry engrav
ers. The list kept by the government
includes all the men who have worked
or are working for tjie bank note and
engraving companies in New York,
Chicago, St. Louis and other cities.
Not suspiciously, but as a matter of
course, the secret service officers try to
trace tho counterfeit to some engraver
first to one who lias committed a
crimo before and then to some man who
is presumably honest. A good record is
no protection from investigation. When 1
some outsider has committed the crime,
the officers nre puzzled to find a clew.
If a known engraver is guilty, it is
only a question of time when the crime
will bo fastened on him.
When there are no new counterfeits
to be traced, the officers keep them
selves informed of the movements of all
' the engravers in the country. If an en
graver falls into bad habits, the fact is
i reported to the treasury departuient. If
he sits up late at night, he becomes the
1 victim of suspicion. Engravers draw
' ing heavy salaries for legitimate work
have been known to make bogus plates
! at home in their spare hours. One man
1 working for the American Bank Note
company some years ago was. caught
copying on a plate at home in the even
ing the work he had done on a govern-
i mpTit. Tihifp ilnrini' flip duv.
One fact operates against successful
another portraits, and so "on. The work
is divided among them according to
their special abilities, so no one" gets
practice on all the features of a note.
The mechanical work of the geometric
lathe.has never been imitated success

a fair reproduction of it.

Gordon Clydo was ono of tho wealthiest
men in his nativo place. Ho always lived
on his money without having a profes
sion or occupation, nnd, as a matter of
course, it was the calisc of much comment
when ho made known his intentions of
going to the metropolis to engago in some
business. .
It was a bitter cold winter's night. The
snow lay thick upon .the ground, and tho
wind whistled through the city streets.
A gentleman, well mutllcd from tho bit
ing wind, was hurrying along tho deserted
street whon a woman stepped up to him.
"For God's sake, sir, help mc! My hus
band is dying, and my littlo ono is starv
ing!" Tho woman's teeth chattered with the
cold as sho spoke, but it was not her chat
tering teeth nor pitiful story that made
tho gentleman turn and gazo intently at
her blue, pinched face.
"Great God, Olam J.cslio!" ho cried
"Gordon Clyde!"
And the woman shivered as If with a fit
of ague.
For four long years Gordon Clydo had
waited for this hour. The wretchedly clad
nuiium must navo noticed the pitllesslook
in his eyes, for she cried:
'Gordon Clyde, I sinned against yon
ho sinned against you; but our punish
ment has been great. Misfortimo has fol
lowed us since tho night we left my aunt's
cottage. Ho is dying, and I am in the
street begging such a night as this. Huvo
mercy upon us, Gordon Clyde, or we'll
perish!"
Sho raised her hands besecehinglyassho
Hiioko. Sho saw his features relax, and
tho pitiless gleam was no longer In his
oyes.
" 'Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,
saith tho Lord.' Leavo them to him, Gor
don." Mary Leslie's voice sounded in his ear
once mora Ah, how often had thoso words
rung in his cars during tho last four years!
Hut tho demon of hatred within hlin
would not let hlin heed them. His
thoughts went back to Mary Lcslio now
ns ho looked down on tlio woman that had
so cruelly betrayed him.
After an absence of four years Gordon
lliat ill directed ingenuity can for a
time baffle the shrewdest official pre
cautions. There is a class of highly
skilled, well paid workmen in the Unit
ed States.which is continually nnder
surveillance. It is composed of the men
who are employed in the engraviug of
designs for bank notes.
When a man takes the position of
treasurer of the United States, he files
a perpetrfal bond to secure the govern
ment against loss. If he has been out
of office 20 years, that guarantee still
hangs over his head and the heads of
his .bondsmen. So the man who has
been engaged in tho making of plates
for the treasury or for a bank note com
pany may resign his position and go
into some other business, but he never
escapes the watehfnl eye of the secret
service officer. His habits are known
his haunts, his friends, his occupation.
If ho succeeds in business and becomes
prosperous, tho vigilance of the watch
ers is a littlo relaxed. If ho fails, all
the more reason for keeping an cyo on
him, for he has now the incentive to
commit crime. No temptation is so
strong as the temptation to make bogus
money.
It is not very pleasant to contemplate
life under the watchful, suspicions eye
of tho law, but every man who takes
up bank note engraving must make up
his mind -to endnro it ever afterward,
even if he change his occupation a hun
dred times.
This is the reason for the watch on
engravers only a skilled engraver and
one familiar with bank note work can
make a plate which is even a passable
imitation of the plates used by the
