rraclous kindness has touclied me deeply
t Is not for me. but for the people from
al I come ThN hour is one of indescrib
able moral grandeur W hen but a beard'f -
youth I drank the cup of defeat' at Appo
mattox and t.iw one of those allowed to
return to his home, not to be disturbed bj
tho United Stalls authorities so long as
they observed their paro e j.nd the laws m
force where they resided. I'ron. that da-, to
this there has rever been an hour v hen I
jvould willingly emit any opportunity to do
honor to the mentor of thu immortal -who
forbore to add to the burden of our por
townthen. "The man who died at Mount McGregor
.was neer enilous of the glorj of the caji
talh who won battles for him, and sub
talned them lojall In the fie'd. There is
one phase of his life upon which I tentae
to enlarge because it uppals cnen more
strongly to the men who -tackea arms at
Appomattox than to thot who followed
to vlctorj there, and future generations
iwlll dwell upon It with ccr Increasing ad
miration. "His soul broadened with the Intensity of
that awful conflict, and in its closing daB
lie regarded hl9 former fnea Tint nc n-
piles to be destroyed, but as countrjmen to
e reconciled. When he saw the inevitable
end approaching no thought came to him of
unconditional burrendtr then. He did not
desire It.
"The proud army of Nortb'ern Virginia
load no thought or resolt e then but of now
to die -slth honor Ho felt the bitterness
i the hour for the great commander w hose
ibearlnjr amid the wreck of fortune ascend
ed to the dignity of the gods, and deter
mined to spore him eon the pain of the
Initiative In the approaching capitulation
.0 useless ceremonial of surrender mocked
His countrymen there and all his acts dis
played the 'delicacy of a great soul.'
"From the hour he turned from Appomat
tox to the last day at Mount McGregor, the
desire uppermoet In the thoughts of the
victorious soldier was to soothe and better
the condition of his defeated countrymen.
Xt the iery moment of his victor he paid
"The Confederates are now our prisoners
and we do not want to emit oer their
downfall. He realized more than any man
that his victory would be tried in the cruci
Zile of after years, and tested by tho rela
tions between the victor and lanqulshed
and their children In coming time. JHe lost
no opportunity to speak in terms of ad
miration of the Condeferato soldier 'who-3
manhood drew forth such herculean deeds
of valor" and with whom lie 'hoped for ner
petual peace and harmonj.' "

Is it reasonable, think von. that we could hire such women as Miss Hoti

MISS LAURA HOWARD.
"Dear "Mp-s. Pivkhxm": I can thank you for perfect health today,
and gladly do I acknowledge it. Life looked so dark to me a year or
two aero. I had constant pain-,, my limbs"s welled. I had dizzy spells, and
uever knw one day how I would" feel the next. I was nervous and had
no appetite, neither could I sleep soundly nights. Eight bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkliarri's Vegetable Compound, used in conjunction with
your Sanative Wash, did more for me than all the medicines and tha
skill of the doctor. For eight months I have enjoyed perfect health.
I verily believe that most of the doctors are guessing and experimenting
when they try to cure a woman with an assortment of complications,
such a- lriine ; but you did not jrness when you mixed your Compound :
you evidently know what you are giving-surferin-: women and are sure of
what it will do. How I wish allsutfering women could pnly know of your
remedy: there would be less suffering and many thousands more happy
and healthy women in America."' Laura, Howard, 113 Xewberry Ave,
Cnicago, I1L
O, mv sisters, I do pray you to profit by 3Iiss Howard's experi
ences; ju-t as surely as she was cured of the troubles enumerated
in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from womb
troubles, inflammation of the ox aries. kidney troubles, nervous
excitability, and ncnous pro-tration: remember that it is Lydia
E. Piukham"- Vegetable Compound that is curinjr -women, and
don't allow any drugjiKt to sell ou anything else in its place.
