Once out of the shade of the trees, the sun began to grt.w uncomfortably warm, and we began to abed clothing until our thin cotron undershirts furnished our only atUre from the waist up. To one who knows nothing of the atmospheric conditions In the Tyrolese Alps the Idea of climb ing a glacier In such scanty wardrobo will appear startling In the extreme, but no summer sun in Arizona was ever hotter than was the face of Old Sol on that midwinter's day. Frugal Meal Enjoyed. About 2 o’clock In the afternoon we reached the summit, and proceeded to thaw out our feet (the only members that hail suffered from the cold) In front of a rousing fire which we built In one of the Franco-Austrian Alpine Association shelter huts. After melt ing a little snow in Peter’s hat, the only receptacle that we could find, wo Church in Tyrolese Alps. proceeded to make a meal of our rolls. No ten-course dinner ever served tasted half so good as did those two half-sour lumps of coarse bread, and when, at the conclusion of our frugal ! repast, we filled our pipes and lay i down In the doorway to enjoy our aft | er-dlnner smoke, we both felt more I like monarchn than we ever hoped to 1 again. Although our muscles rebelled’ at the thought of getting back to work, we both knew the dangers of Alpine climblug after dark. so. binding hand fuls of straw’ opto our shoes, to keep the snow from caking on them, we started on our homeward way. time we had reached the out skirts of the wood, the sun was al ready low, and the distant howl of the timber wolf acted as a wonderful stimulant to our tired muscles. We had no desire to try our hands with tbeße denizens of the forest, and for a number of miles we bit only the high places, trusting to Providence to keep the wolves occupied else where. and paying scant heed to the dangers of the Ice-coated path. By 10 o’clock we had reached the settle ment. and after eating a prodigious quantity of fried sausages we climbed aloft to our welcome couches and rapidly passed into the realm o' dreams. How About “Wlllyum”? Comparatively few parents appear to appreciate the responsibility which rests upon them when they are havlug their children christened.

PINKHAM And a True Story off How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Blrtli and How the -Panic of ’73“ Cause# it to be Offered for Public Sale In Drug Stoma. This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, waa born In Lynn, Maas., February 9th, 1819, com ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years aha taught school, and hooams known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa thetic nature. In 1848 she married Isaac Pinkhara. a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosper!tr and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days It waa common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies— calling in a physician only in specially urgent oases. By tradition and ex- Serienee many of them gained a won erf ul knowledge of the curative prop erties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in tho roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and It was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ill-** and weaknesses pecu liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink ham’a friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and It became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, with out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, aa this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when theCenten nlal year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Plnkham’a Vegetable Compound waa made known to the world.

They argued that the medicine which wee so good for their woman frUoda ib# neighbors waa equally good for the women of the whole world* The Pinkhama had no money, end little credit. Their first laboratory waa the kitchen, where roots end' herbs were steeped on the stove* gradually filling ft gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they bed given It away freely. They hired ft Job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merife of the medi cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhaa’a Vegetable Compound, and theee were distributed by the Pinkham eons in Boston, New York, sad Brooklyn. The wonderful curative propertlee of the medicine were, to » great extend self-advertising, for whoever need It recommended ft to others, end the de mand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the fam ily had aaved enough money to com mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege table Compound have become honee hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu ally in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward yearn ago, but not till she bad provided means for continuing her work aa effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful expe rience she waa ever methodical in bar work and she was always careful to pre serve a record of every cesc that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice and there were thousands— received careful study, end the detaiim ftacledk ing symptoms, treatment soft meultc were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent ft vast collabora tion of information regarding the treatment of woman’s Ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly lie equaled in say library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was care fully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and ’ for years she assisted her in her vftsl correspondence. To her hands naturally fell thft 1 direction of the work when zta origina [ tor passed away. For nearly twenty • five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen. and the present Mrs. Pinkham, ’ now the mother of a large family, took it up.
