Fred Haeberlin. a shoe dealer, of Otta­ wa. 111., can claim rather a unique distinc­ tion. He was the first man in Ottawa, 111., to buy a box of Drv Williams' Pink Pills. That was three years ago, and Mr. Haeberlin says he has never had cause for regretting that purchase. In a conversa­ tion held a few days ago Mr. Haeberlin said: "My wife for a long time was greatly troubled with neuralgia, headache and nervousness. About three years ago a friend of mine, a traveling man, told me to get some of Williams' Pink Pills and have my wife try them. Bpou looking up the remedy 1 noti.ced that the Chicago papers contained pretty strong state­ ments in favor of-it.' y "I went to the drug stores, but not a sin­ gle one of them kept the article. Then I Went to Graham & Yentzer's drug store and had George Yentzer send for some of the pills. Well, they came and I took them home to my wife. She started in to use them, and the effect was marvelously fa­ vorable, and her condition began to im­ prove steadily. It was but a "short time until the headaches had almost wholly disapeared, and the general state of li,er health was much helped. My wife kept on using the pills and likewise kept get­ ting better. In a comparatively short time her condition was more hWlthythan for sevetal .years. Is' it any wonder that we both became true friends of-Dr. A\"i.ll- ianis' Pink Pills'; My wife is. a well woman now., and we both ascribe that fact to Pink; Pills.. ;• • ' "The remedy did so. much for us that 1 hate recommended. it to ever So niany -since I" got that first box and. if'I do say j it, -1 believe I ani„ largely responsible' for starting the large sale of the pills in Ot­ tawa. - There is not a drug store in the City how that does hot-sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." : : "John Hardin, who js engaged in the 'tail- "tiring business^in pjtawa, says: "Count me as one Who has been bene­ fited by the use of Dr. Williams' - Pink Pills. 1 have used tlieiu, for several.moi^ths for stomach troubles and feel that they have aided a slight attack of rheumatism. Since I took them and built up my sys­ tem my trouble in that respect has been much bettered, as has also my indigestion. They are a great tonic, and 1 certainly indorse their use most heartily. 1 always recommend them to my friends." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces­ sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregulari­ ties and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallowCheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may he had of all druggists, or direct by •mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Coin- NO WOMAN'S LETTER, PUBLISHED EXCEPT pY REQUEST.

The United States cruiser Brooklyn, on her, official trial trip the other day, aver­ aged 21.92 knots an hour, during a forced draught run of four hours, and earned a bonus of $o50,(XX) for the Cramps, the requirement being 20 knots. . The con­ tract requirement of 11,000 horse power was exceeded Itv a thousand or more, and one stretch of the ship reached the surpris­ ing average of 22.!> knots an hour. This puts her in the commerce-destroying class. The trip was over a course 41U, knots and back, off Cape Ann. It! was begun in a hazy atmosphere, against the tide: When about half way the ship ran into a rain­ storm and fog. The end of the course was reached at an average of 21.71 knots. It was still foggy when the turn was made, but the tide was with the ship now. and the down trip was made at the rate of 22.12 knots an hour, or an average of 21.92 for the knots. It was 011 this leg I over a distance of seven knots that the top-knotch speed was attained. The sun broke through the clouds as the finish was being made. A broom was run up, flags I were unfurled, and the great ship return- J ed to harbor with the monster siren pulled j wide open, while the tugs and boats' an­ swered back congratulations.

Here is another story of Prime Bis marck that is told on the authority of it (iermaii paper: It was during the reign of Emperor William 1.. when the present emperor was a boy. that Prince Bismarck, walking one day through a corridor of the royal palace at Berlin, came upon a strange scene. Hearing within the room which he passed a great racket, lie opened the door and saw the young grandsons of the emperor dancing about, while their father, the crown prince, ground the handle of a hand-organ. All were in high spirits, and. seeing the chancellor, the young princes laughingly invited him to join in the danciv Prince Bis­ marck declined, but he offered to turn the organ if the crown prince would join his sons. Prince Frederick con­ sented. and the chancellor turned the handle with great animation. The laughter and sport grew louder with the increased speed of the playing. Just then the old emperor came in. He took in the situation at a glance. "I see. my Lord Chancellor," fie said with a smile, "that you are beginning early to make the .princes dance to your music!" .
